Day Afternoon Sermon, T. J. Smith Letters From France ery is wonderful when one can keep from looking at the shell-wrecked cities and villages. I've seen but few complete houses in this section. For awhile I was looking for new ideas along our lines, but I have given that up, because the big guns have demolished almost everything that was ever constructed in this section. It will take years to rebuild what the Germans have destroyed. But the French are patient and it will not take them long to set things right again. They look upon our boys as real soldiers and with none of the contempt that I expected to see. Indeed, they are a wonderful people. I have made a number of friends among them. Also among our boys. But always in counting my friends, this little thought runs across my mind. I've travelled a great many miles around this old world. I've seen almost everything. Sometimes I've liked like a beegar, sometimes like a king, I've met many friends, some good, others bad, but I've never had but two true friends, my mother and my dad. After you two I can count on no more. And when I think of it I love you more than ever. I received mother's letter yesterday. I intend to answer immediately, but I felt as though I had been neglecting you so I just wrote to you first. I hope that grandmother is well, and doesn't worry about me any more. Because next to home there isn't any other place that I would rather be. And all that I give a thought is how long will it be before I will be back home. Now I must close. Love and best wishes to all. Mrs. Isabelle Crain, of Eaton, O. is in receipt of an interesting letter from her son, Glenroy Cain, sent from "Somewhere in France." Dear Mother: I received all of your letters and words cannot express how glad I was to receive them. I would miss three meals a day for a week to get a letter from home. I have so much to tell, that I hardly know how to start. I am well except a cold, and you know I always have that. I hope you are well. Tell Helen and Miles I am never lossecase. I am kept busy dodging bullets. We got shelled the other night and we went to a dug out in the ground and stayed all night. Nobody in our com- --- Vol 6 Number 19 Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Black, of South Hawthorn street, have received the following letter from their son: Aug. '9, 1918. Dear Dad: Doubtlessly you and mother are wondering where is your wandering boy today. All that I can say is that I'm somewhere in France. In the best of health, contented at times, sometimes lonesome. But never without the hope that I will return to you some day. It seems years since I've been gone, but I haven't changed a bit. I have nothing to regret for having enlisted when I did except that I am away from home. My work as company clerk keeps me rather busy, so I don't have time to get the blues very often. I've been clerk since May 27, and have made good. That somewhat lessens the exposure which otherwise I would have to experience. So thus far, helped by circumstances, I have tried to better myself. Clean living, healthful exercises, and good companions are assisting me in the making of a man. I am trying to live according to the teaching of my parents, and so far I have been successful. I have encountered a great many temptations, but the desire to go the straight road has been the stronger. All to my own benefit, so you may expect to receive a morally better lad when I return home. Tom Jeff just walked in and I told him that I was writing to you. He sends best regards to you. He is well and getting along fine. Sergeant John Butler was here last night, and we were talking about the folks at home. He wishes to be remembered to you and mother. It was the first time that I had seen him for nearly a month. He is as fat as ever and has really proven a soldier. He is about the busiest one in the company, and then a great deal of his time is taken up dancing; the trench reel is one of the most popular. Then when one of the big shells comes over, he does the dugout glide. He is really light or his feet to be so large. But even if it is Fourth of July every day all the boys are in fine spirits. Company C is known as the best company on the line. We haven't produced a coward yet. And captain Mallory is purse by everybody. The French officers think that there isn't anybody like Capt. Mallory. The weather here is ideal now, but I don't doubt but what the winter will be severe.

I'm glad that I was transferred to the engineers, because it is certainly well thought of, and also the highest branch of service in the army. Nearly every boy that was drafted from Dayton, when I was, is either a corporal or a sergeant. By the time you get this letter, there will be another on the road with my pictures. We dress ever here similar to the French only different color. We wear steel helmets on our heads and gas masks to wear when they shoot poison gas at us. They look awful funny on our faces. These people are the friendliest people I ever saw, and the highest mountains. I climb the mountains every day. The people in the large towns dress and look like Americans. In the small towns and country, they wear wooden shoes and they drive oxen to wagons. It is awfully cold late in the night, and hot in the day. I can talk a lot of French. If I get back home I would not take anything for this trip. Don't worry about me, I have good health, and that is the most important part. Well dear mother, will close with regards to all inquiring friends. Love to Earl. Good bye, mother, and do the best you can until I come back, and pray for me, as I do every night.

One of the most touching honors that has lately come to Cecil Fanning, the American baritone, was paid to him recently at a community "sing" arranged by him at Ohio Field, Columbus, Ohio. As a prelude, it should be stated that a few weeks previously Mr. Fanning had sung at a special program of songs and addresses arranged in Columbus in honor of Booker T. Washington by some of the leading colored citizens of the city. Mr. Fanning sang a group of songs by the Negro composer, H. T. Burleigh. During a lull in the "sing" at Ohio Field, Elliot B. Henderson, a poet and a leader in the artistic and patriotic life of his race in Columbus, advanced and after a speech presented Mr. Fanning with an ebony walking stick with a head of twisted gold. It bore the inscription, "Presented to Mr. Cecil Fanning as a token of appreciation by the colored citizens of Columbus." 1 or You, Says Willis "You may be too young or too old to go to war, but your dollars are not. Enlist them now in the Fourth Liberty Loan and let them fight for you." —Frank B. Willis at Cincinnati on the opening day of the Liberty Loan drive. WILLIS POINTS TO VIOLATION Calls Harmon's Attention to Fact That He, Willis, Is Making Patriotic Speeches While Harmon Is Playing Cox Machine Politics During Loan Drive. Mr. Willis, Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, made the following statement in reply to ex-Governor Harmon's speech at Greenville: According to the morning papers, at the very time I was engaged in addressing patriotic non-partisan meetings in the interest of the Fourth Liberty Loan, ex-Governor Judson Harmon, a leading representative of the party which claims politics is adjourned, was availing himself of the opportunity to make a Democratic campaign speech at Greenville, a portion of which unduly attacks me, and falsely praises the Democratic candidate for governor. These two speeches by two ex-governors of Ohio clearly indicate the attitude of two great parties in the present crisis; Republicans, in good faith, are using all their efforts to aid the government to sustain its policy and make the Fourth Liberty Loan a success—the Democratic leaders, under a smoke screen of pretense—"Yes "politics has adjourned"—are playing politics and endeavoring to reach a partisan advantage from the nation's crisis. Having deceived the country once by the false cry of "He kept us out of war" camouflage, false charges and evasion of real issues in their platform, they now seem to think they can win again by adjourning politics and then playing for small partisan advantage. While Republicans are devoting their efforts to the success of the Fourth Liberty Loan and the winning of the war, their ruse will not succeed. Republicans just now are so busy "swatting" the kaiser, buying Liberty Loan Bonds, that they have not time to notice the carping of those who would prostitute patriotism to partisanship. Meanwhile, it might be advisable for ex-Governor Harmon, before he makes any more political speeches during the Liberty Loan campaign, to scan rather carefully the pro-German editorials, utterance and speeches of Governor James M Cox during and prior to the campaign of 1916, because it is not unlikely that Republicans will give those interesting documents some attention after the Liberty Loan campaign is successfully concluded Oct. 19. Meanwhile let us buy more Liberty Bonds. ROOMS—Furnished rooms with bath. Call at 48 Maple street. Mrs. Mamie Elliott. Col. Roscoe Simmons Addresses Large, Patriotic Audience At Memorial Hall By Roby A. King. The large audience assembled at Memorial Hall, listened first to chorus of fifty voices, directed by Mr. Brown, who rendered patriotic selections. Following that the children of Garfield school gave a most wonderful patriotic display, children representing Uncle Sam, Columbia, Goddess of Liberty, Red Cross nurses, etc. Col. Simmons was accompanied by Mr. Harry Coleman, a four-minute man and Dr. Johnson, of Columbus, who has recently been honored with the appointment of minister to Liberia. Both men made short talks, Mr. Coleman telling of his brother, who was colonel of a colored regiment, having refused to take command of a white regiment because he said the black man was gamer. When captain, he sat at the table with his colored troops, and when called by a colonel to remember his duties he responded: "If they are good enough to die with, they are good enough to eat with." Lawyer Stokes presented Colonel Simmons to the audience and I will give short extracts from his most wonderful and inspiring address. My Race My Country, and My Flag." "It's a great pleasure to be in Dayton again. It is a great pleasure to meet my friend Mr. Stokes, my kind of looking man, unmixed genius. I am happy to stand in this place where I just stood a year ago. I am glad to have my friend appointed minister to Liberia, taking the place of all our great white men. I was educated by a great Negro man. I sat on the knee of Frederick Douglas. I sat at the feet of Booken T. Washington. I am proud to be a Negro, wouldn't be anything else if I could. I'm satisfied, no regrets for the past, no fears for the future, satisfied, satisfied. "I love to look at you old soldiers with your blue coats and brass buttons. When I look at you I think about Port Hudson. "I have a loan to talk about that I have been lending on my own account. What have I lent? My toll my tears, unpaid, all of yesterday. I have put up patience and love, sacrificed for the stars and stripes When are they going to pay interest? Columbus Negroes subscribed for $250,000 liberty bonds and put $163,000 in the war chest. No fears for the future, no regrets for the past. The white man made the flag out of thread and cloth, but he made me out of blood and tears. I stand by the American white man because it is my duty, but I stand there to keep him from falling. I stand in the state of Ohio. This is my favorite state. I speak before the public for the American Negro and am satisfied with my job. Anybody praises my race makes a hit with me. I would not exchange my job with the President. Whenever you see a peaceable set of white people, then you see a peaceable set of Negroes. That's the reasons the Negroes are not peaceable down south, because the white folks are not. Germany wants peace with the United States. When I make peace with Germany I will be sitting around the table at Berlin. When I make peace I will make Negro with a capital "N." I do not want any peace with Germany now. When I make peace with Germany I want peace at home. I love my country, I love my race, I love my religion, I love my white people. I love my country for first without my country I have no race. I love my race because I belong to the only race in the world whose future is in front of it and not behind it. I love my religion because it is all I have. I am proud of the American white man because all I am I owe to the American white men. We owe the American white man a debt we can never expect to pay, what he ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us! Main 7696. owes us we will never expect to get. "When the war began the question arose, what will the Negro do? We will do what the American white man tells us. I am going to teach the world what a soldier is. I am going to do everything necessary to win the war. The father of my nation is at Washington. I have but one flag, that is the flag that set me free. I have seen the flags of all the world. The only flag in the world since time begun that has stars in it. Your flag and my flag. God made them and no man can blow them out. Patience is your word. I would rather be an American Negro living side by side by the American white man, trust my case into his hand, living beneath the protecting fold of the stars and stripes, standing and under the mercy of Abraham Linecoln, no fears for the future, no regrets for the past. The American Negro schooled by adversary knows how to take commands, the American white man wants to give commands. "Germany says it's so great, where is Germany's Daniel Webster? Where is their Henry Clay, their Calhoun? Where is their George Washington, their Booker T. Washington. They talk of their great culture? What culture. They talk of their religion; what religion? Where is their Roosevelt? Where is their Longfellow? their William Cullen Bryan? Where is their John Greenleaf Whittaker? Every advancement made in 100 years, has been made by American white men. Who threw the cable across the Atlantic ocean? Silas Field, an American white boy. Who spoke through the air for the first time and named that the telephone? Some Prussian God, I suppose. No, Bell, an American white boy. Who built the first submarine? An American white boy built the first submarine. Who built the first airship? Even now he sleeps tonight in Dayton. Who perfected wireless telegraphy? An American. Every advancement made has been made by the American. Who picked up religion and taught the world what civilization means? The American Negro. I've got to get in here some place. "Now let me speak for my nation in a time like this. I love America. When Woodrow Wilson falls asleep, a Negro stands at his door. When trouble is around they know where I come. I am so proud of my race. I belong to a race where there's no slackers, no spies and no I. W. W.'s, thank God. "When the war broke out, the question arose: Will the Negro get to France? That didn't worry me. The first American soldier who' put foot on French soil was a Negro. He will be the last one to be there when the war is over for there will be a lot of cleaning up to be done. One Negro bought $9,000 worth of Liberty bonds and paid cash for them, another Negro bought $100,000 worth of liberty bonds and got in a "Jim Crow" car and rode home. Satisfied, no fears for the future, no regrets for the past. "I've promised Wilson to go across the waters. I'm going to take the Bull out of Bulgaria and the Germ out of Germany. I am going to make the world safe for Democracy. I'll knock on the door of the Kaiser and make him read the first part of the constitution that all men are created equal. I will stand side by side with the American white boy. When that is completed, I will come back across the sea, and lay my gun away, take off my war garments and put on the garments of peace, walk up to the door of the American white man and say: You sent me 4,000 miles away from home to make America safe for democracy, since I have made America safe for democracy, won't you make East St. Louis safe for the American Negro? "I do not like these hyphenized names, German-American, Jewish- American, Greek-American. In time of peace our name is Negro and in time of war, fellow citizen. "This is God's war. A chain breaking war. My chains have to be broken. No man can keep us out of this war, cause no man is keeping us out. The Germans did not pass at the Marne, for 260,000 colored soldiers drove them back. The reason the Kaiser said this was a white man's war for if African Negroes can do this, who can neither read nor write, what will the American Negro do? "I have the biggest job in the world. I speak for 10,000,000 Negroes, in language that every one understands. Speaking for my country, and for you. God teaches men in war what they refuse to learn in peace. Let 'em fight. Fifty years ago I was nothing, nor was you. Tonight I am a man. What am I fighting for? I am fighting to introduce my people into the polite society of mankind. I used to sing "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." I now sing "Star Spangled Banner." I used to live in a log cabin, tonight I sleep under 5,000 roofs I call home. What am I fighting for? Fifty years ago I was property of man, tonight my plow turns on milloins of acres of land I own. What am I fighting for? Fifty years ago I was naked to civilization, tonight I am dressed. I am fighting for the stars and stripes. Satisfied, no regrets for the past and no fears for the future. Death knows no color line and bullets know no race. "When Teddy Roosevelt wanted to go to France, 37,000 Negroes put their names on the book to go with him. Just think, Teddy and 37,000 Negroes, wouldn't that have been awful! I can see the kaiser now getting himself together. "When the talk was out that they would put all of the Negroes in the front line to save the white troops, that didn't worry me. We didn't go over there to play. This is his time to put his best foot foremost. They say to me that I am from Africa and ought to go back. We come by invitation. It has been 300 years since I come from Africa, but it will be more than 300 years before I go back." Sometimes they say this is not our flag and country. Be still, press on. Once I was down and that flag stood me on my feet. The Germans say this is not my flag. Old Glory stood me on my feet and wrote upon my race the word "Woman;" gave me spelling book to write my name in the book of freedom; took me out of log cabins, put me in homes; put railings on daughters, put garments on young men. Ours is the greatest flag, the flag that never touched the ground. Did not it put speeches on the lips of Booker T. Washington? Did not it put a marriage certificate on the walls of my home and let me know who the father of my children were?" Program. 1. Chorus—8 to 8:20 p. m. 2. Song—"America." Chorus and Audience. 3.

HAS POLITICS BEEN ADJOURNED Republican State Chairman Fullington Calls Attenton to More Facts Which Show Democratic Party Is Not In Good Faith. Columbus, O.—(Special.)—On the eve of the beginning of the fourth Liberty loan, the Democratic national committee has sent out from Washington an unusually partisan circular. It is headed. "Why You Should Give Attention Right Now to Electing a Democratic Congress." Its four pages are an excited appeal to Democrats to "present a united, solidified, concerted front, and with a view of bringing about a Democratic majority in the entire nation." It closes with, "as patriotic Democrats, this means that you should give the very best that is in you, in every direction, between now and election day, Nov. 5, to give him (President Wilson) a congress that is back of him to the limit. What have you done to help? Write us about it." If the plain intent of this circular is carried into effect by its recipients, it means that Democrats are expected to give the very best that is in them, in every direction, to the partisan work of electing a Democratic congress, right through the period of the Liberty loan drive, as well as thereafter. The sanction of the people of Ohio will not be given to this partisanship. They deeply feel that every one, irrespective of party, during the time of the loan, should give the very best that is in them, in every direction, to aid in putting that great loan overwhelmingly over. There should be no increasing of partisan endeavor at the expense of patriotic endeavor. This partisan pamphlet further contains the assertion that the election of a Republican congress in November "would be a source of comfort and elation to the kaiser and his cohorts." And this indefensible injury is offered to a party which contains at least one-half of the American people. A party which has devotedly sustained and supported the president and his administration in everything that has had to do with the winning of the war, whose members of congress have given greater support to all war measures than have the members of congress belonging to the Democratic party. There is no recourse in such a matter except to leave the offenders to the verdict of the American sense of propriety and of justice. Notwithstanding the natural feeling of provocation which every patriotic citizen, irrespective of party, must feel at such a breach of good sense, I again appeal to the Republicans of Ohio, as I did on Sept. 18, and in the same language, to give the best that is in them to the Liberty loan drive: "Winning the war is more important than winning a political contest any time. We are all most sincerely anxious for the greatest success possible, and the oversubscription of the forthcoming Liberty loan. We trust that you, your entire political organization, all the candidates and Republicans generally, will devote all the time and energy possible, primarily to advancing the sale of Liberty bonds in your community until the close of the Liberty bond campaign. He serves his party best who serves his country best. In the spirit of this sentiment, let the Republicans of Ohio dedicate themselves to patriotic service until the Liberty loan closes. All else is subsidiary. (Signed.) E. M. FULLINGTON, Chairman.

The duties devolving on every voter, irrespective of party, are unmistakable, and one of the most obvious of these duties is to rebuke those who have defied the unwritten law which decrees that no man may three times aspire to the highest executive office of the state or nation. The father of his country scorned to accept a third term; the great soldier of Appomato failed of its achievement; the very thought is repugnant to the instincts of the people, who see therein an attempt to perpetuate ill-used power." "THE GRAVITY OF THIRD TERMISM." "The editors and politicians who talk flappantly about the opposition to a third term of Foraker as governor make a shallow argument. They fly frivolously in the face of a cardinal doctrine. "There is much more in opposition to third termism than a passing sentiment. It is not merely a question of whether this man or that man, or this or that set of men, has had enough of a certain office and ought to give way so that some other man may enjoy its honors and emoluments. "Rotation in office is an abiding principle in a popular form of government. To place long-continued power in the hands of a high executive officer, like the president of the United States of the governor of a state is a step in the direction of dictatorship. It may be a short step, but is a dangerous step nevertheless."

SCIENTISTS EXPLAIN THEM Some of the Qualities That Give Americans Superiority in Air Over Their Hun Opponents—Temperament is Important. New York.—Considerable concern has been expressed at the large number of fatal accidents reported from our American military and naval aviation training camps. Considering the risks the novice necessarily takes and the very special physiological and psychological factors that enter into the science of flying, these fatal accidents are few in proportion to the number of men undergoing training, and they are not more numerous than those on the training fields of Great Britain, France and Italy. A perfect knowledge of all the rules of the game of flying will not save a man who lacks confidence in himself and is inclined to hesitate. A half-second of indecision may be fatal. Initiative, the sporting instinct and a certain irresponsibility, qualities inherent in American youth, have been found of far greater value in the air than the logical, scientific, severely disciplined character of the Germans, and account for the superiority of the allied aviators in general. The most eminent of British scientists have devoted special study to the psychological and physiological aspects of flying. One authority says that good eyesight, normal hearing, good "muscle sense" and equilibration are indispensable qualifications. But most important of all is the right temperament—not an easy thing for a medical board to examine. Of the types—the imaginative and the unimaginative—the imaginative youth is said to make the better pilot if he can keep his imagination under control. Surgical Operations No Bar. Surgical Operations No Bar. In the British air service previous history of wounds and disease is thoroughly investigated. Persistent headaches, vertigo and easily induced fatigue are serious defects. But sometimes even a serious surgical operation is not regarded as important. Thus a doctor recently passed as fit for flying a man who had quite a large piece missing from the frontal region of the skull. It is much more important that a man should have both arms intact than both legs. A clever pilot who was killed on the western front was Lord Lucas, who had an artificial leg. Considerable importance is attached to the respiratory system. In addition to good, healthy lungs and vital capacity, the would-be pilot must pass a breath-holding test. This gives an indication of his capacity to stand the strain of flying at high altitudes, where the air is rarefied and breathing is difficult. No man with a weak heart can hope to pass the tests. Self-balancing is another test. The candidate has to stand on one leg with his eyes shut and his hands on his hips. There is also the old test for sobriety—walking a straight line heel to toe with eyes open and then turning round and walking back without losing balance. The importance of this test can be understood, seeing that an aviator flying in a dark cloud or in a fog becomes unconscious of his position and sometimes the machine is actually upside down. It is essential that he should not lose a second in recovering his balance. The throat, nose and ear are carefully examined, for any defects might seriously handicap a man during the great strain that all flying imposes. With regard to the eyes, it is considered that pilots should have perfect color vision, in order to pick out the color or marking of hostile machines, and in recognizing signal lights and in judging the nature of landing grounds Air Sickness Rare. A candidate who suffers from seasickness or train sickness would not be rejected on those grounds alone. Air sickness, caused by the rolling and pitching of the airplane, is a very rare complaint, and sickness usually occurs immediately after landing. An unstable nervous system suggested by fidgety movements of the hands, feet or face, or biting the nails is a poor recommendation. Aero-neurosis is the name which is sometimes given to nervous troubles brought about by the strain of flying. It has been said that an airman's life consists of "long spells of idleness punctuated by moments of intense fear." He has to endure intense cold, rain, wind and fog, the nerve-racking noise of the engine, the antiaircraft fire, and to loop, spin, dive or slideslip, apparently out of control, in order to deceive an opponent. An interesting nerve test has been devised in France for selecting the best types of airmen for fighting. Around his chest is a pneumograph, in his left hand a trembler, and around two fingers of his right hand a pneumatic "dolgiter." Behind the candidate a revolver shot is fired or a magnesium flare is set off, and a record of the effect on his nerves is obtained by means of styles writing on a blackened revolving cylinder. CAVALRY PLAYS BIG PART NOW General Foch Used French Horsemen to Advantage in Big Drive. PROVE GOOD FIGHTERS AFOOT Rides 80 Milies in Day and Relieves Hard-Pressed British In Flanders —Makes New Place for Self in Warfare. Washington.—Skillful use of French cavalry has marked General Foch's tactics ever since he took over control of the allied armies as supreme commander, according to information reaching military circles here. The horsemen have played an important role in the whole battle of 1918, as the struggle which began March 21 with the first German drive has come to be known. The employment of swift-moving columns in the present counter-stroke from the Alsne-Marne line has been noted in the dispatches. Again General Foch took advantage of the great mobility of the mounted arm to throw it in wherever his advancing infantry units threatened to lose touch with each other in the heat and confusion of the contest. No gaps have been left where the enemy might strike back, for always the horsemen came up to fill the hole until the infantry line could be rectified and connected in a solid front. The same tactics marked the first use of French cavalry in the battle of Picardy, when the French took over 55 miles of front from the British to permit the latter to mass reserves at seriously threatened points of the line farther north. Cavalry Fights Afoot. A French cavalry corps complete with light artillery, armored cars and cyclists arrived first on the scene in Picardy and relieved the British. They fought it out afloat until the heavy French infantry arrived and took over the task. Three days later the horsemen were on the move again, this time hurrying to the front, where the enemy was hitting hard at the Lys line. The cavalry rode hard as the advance guard of the French infantry columns marched toward St. Omar. In the first 24 hours, despite the long strain of fighting in Picardy, they covered 80 miles without losing a man or a horse on the way. In 66 hours they had transferred their whole corps over 125 miles and arrived east of Mont Cassel. "It was a wonderful sight," writes the chief of staff of a division. "The horses were in fine condition; the men were cheerful and went singing, in spite of the sufferings and privations they had to endure. "In truth, our boys looked a little tired, but they were all very proud that such an effort had been asked of them and all were bearing it cheerfully." The cavalry corps stood in support of the British for ten days in April after the enemy had forced the line held by the Portuguese division. It maintained communication between two British armies and organized the ground from Mont Cassel to Mont Kemmel, while the French army moved up behind it. As the French infantry came into line the cavalry was drawn off to the left in the Mont Kemmel region, and for five days the horsemen, fighting afoot with two infantry divisions, withstood the terrific assaults of the Germans who sought to hammer a way through behind Ypres at any cost. They stood steady bombardment, for days, and when the infantry was hemmed in on top of Mont Kemmel, the cavalry drove forward in counterattack and held off the shock divisions of the enemy while the French gunners got their pieces away. Later, at the battle of Locre, the cavalry also shared fully with the infantry, blocking gaps in the line, and the final definite occupation of the town for the allies was accomplished by a cavalry battalion. A sergeant and a handful of dragoons drove 40 Germans out of the town, and at another point a cavalry officer and 20 men backed up the infantry at a critical moment, the officer waving a pistol in one hand and a shovel in the other as he led the dash which restored the situation. Defend Compeigne. A few days later the same cavalry, after another long ride, met the enemy advance against Villers-Cotterets woods in the Alsne sector, where the fighting today is waging fiercely, and where the horsemen again are engaged. When the Germans drove forward in their effort to get around the forest to Compeigne, the horsemen blocked the road between the wooded region and the River Oureq. In view of this record for swift and dashing attack afoot, the cavalry appears to have established a new place for itself in modern warfare. They are the light reserves; the men who are always hurled first into the point of danger to hold until the slow-moving infantry arrives. They have learned trench warfare completely and General Foch is making use of them in any move that insures them a glorious chance when the day comes for the allies to drive back all along the line. ST. MARGARET'S NEWS. The epidemic deprives us from assembling for common prayers and corporate worship this week. But the vicar takes this opportunity to adjure his people, in the name of the Living God and Jesus Christ, His Son, to continue instant in prayer and praise and thanksgiving at home. Sunday will be the 20th after Trinity. Read (1) the entire service for morning prayer, with Psalms (included), for the 20th day. Then (2) read the entire Lituray, that is, the service of the Holy Communion, not forgetting the Collect, Epistle and Gospel for the 20th Sunday after Trinity in their proper place. (3) Have, as it were, a spiritual communion with the Spirit of Christ before the altar of God, and while in this mystic frame of mind, while the vision of God is clear to the mind's eye, and God Himself fills full the heart, pray for the men—our soldiers at the front, at the camps and everywhere. Pray for the country, pray for the men and women who toil at home; pray for your neighbors, pray for your church; pray for your vicar and pray for yourself. As soon as the ban against public gathering is lifted we hope to see a revivified spirit in the life of the church. The vicar has some very helpful and definite recommendations to present, and if energetically taken up, will be of great benefit to the life of the church and individual members respectively. The vicar has not had the opportunity to do all he can efficiently do for St. Margaret's, and while he feels somewhat disappointed in not yet being able to do more, on this account, he yet believes this opportunity will soon arrive. Members and friends are urged to be in an expectant mood and ready to join in the projected innovation. At Christ Church, West First street, on Wednesday morning, last, the Vicar was one of two assistant priests at the celebration of the Holy Communion, with the delegates of the Diocesan Woman's Auxiliary, at their convention. Father Gilbert P. Symons, of Glendale, was the other assistant. The Rev. Mr. B. H. Keinheimer was the celebrant. The Woman's Auxiliary will give a A.
