PARIS, Jan. 23.
Tho fighting In 'tho new battle of
Flanders has become so fierce that a
gain of even a few yards by the allied
forces Is regarded as Important. An
ofllclal communique Issued by tho French
War Oftlce this afternoon emphasizes the
fact that a gain of 100 yards has been
mado In the region of Lombaertzyde.
In an attempt to establish their posi
tions firmly on the south bank of tho

RUSSIANS PRESS ADVANCE
AGAINST EAST PRUSSIA
Cossack Outposts, However, Are
Halted Near Klkol.
PETROGRAD, Jan. 13.
Sanguinary encounters between the Cos
sack advance ot the great Russian army
now menacing the German fortress of
Thorn and Oerman forces southeast of
Klkol were reported In dispatches from
the front today.
Under a murderous Are from a German
Infantry regiment, the cavalry was forced
to retire, it Is admitted here. The Ger
mans wheeled light artillery Into position
to support -tffe riflemen. The Cossacks
were permitted to advance to within a
short distance from the German Intrenrh
ments. Then a galling rifle and gun nro
was poured Into their ranks.
The outposts having clashed, retrograd
confidently awaits news of the beginning
of one of the greatest battles fought In
Northern Poland since the beginning
of tho war. Earlier in the week the
Russians were sweeping toward the Prus
slan frontier without meeting any serious
resistance. The Germans will make a
stand near Klkol, about 23 miles south
east of Thorn, it is now believed, ind a
general engagement all along the tf-mlle
battle line will begin there.
Russian scputs today reported that the
army of General Francois, moving from
the Mlawa region to attack the rear of
the Russian army moving on Thorn, is
making slow progress. Heavy reinforce

aid, and It Is thought possible In Is await

Judge Klnsey's condition became serious
more han a month ago, although It did
not occo'slon any great alarm. Ho gradu
ally weakened, however, and last Monday
hin rnmlltlon took a turn for tho worse.
He sank gradually until death cujn(

in public office since his 20th year. Ho

being thrown to get the plasterllke earth
out of their eyes. ...
The first started promptly at one

Great Britain suspects a Gorman plot

Reports say that tho many Interned

Tho American Government has as

"Foodstuffs are ranked as condi

In the District Court, had reversed his
decision granting Thaw a writ of habeas
corpus, William T. Jerome, special pros
ecutor for New York Btate, Thaw's "Ne
mesis," was In charge of the party.
At the last moment Jerome changed his
plans and decided to go to the Touralne
Hotel with Thaw upon his arrival In Bos
ton, remaining there until the departure
of the midnight train for New York. Thaw
will be In tho Tombs tomorrow morning.
After the transfer of Thaw to tho New
York authorities had been completed,
Thaw went to tho Eagle Hotel, accom
panied by tho New York nnd New Hamp
shire officers, where he was tho guest of
Sheriff Drew, who brought him from Man
chester, N, II., at luncheon. At Drew's
special request, Sheriff Hornbeck granted
this favor to tho man who had been in
charge of Thaw slncfi his capture at
Colebrook on September 10. 1913, nnd who
wished to extend this courtesy as a fare
well to Thaw.
With Jerome were Deputy Attorney
General Franklin Kennedy, of New York,
and Bernard Jacobs, New Hampshire at
torney for the special prosecutor, and with
Sheriff Hornbeck was Detective Lanyon,
of New York.
A large crowd surrounded Thaw when
he boarded the train at Manchester, and
the station In this city was niled with a
crowd when he arrived. The prisoner was
hurried Into a taxlcab and taken to tho
Federal Court under guard.
Jerome handed the mandate of the Su
preme Court vacating the writ of habeas

and Judge Aldrlch, who granted Thaw
the habeas corpus writ, handed down a
rescript reversing his former decision
and returning Thaw from the custody
of Drew to the custody of the Sheriff
of Coos County. Following this proceed
ing tho prisoner was turned over to
Sheriff Hornbeck under the extradition
papers signed by Governor Felker In
1913. The entire transfer took only about
10 minutes.
Thaw was without legal counsel of any
sort, entering the Federal Court accom
panied only by Sheriff Drew and a

Church members who pretend to be

Beats and standing-room of tho big

In his attack on "sham" Christians
"Billy" Bpared no ono. Tho failure of
Church members to provo themselves t6
bo real Christians ho blamed for the

churches more harm than those outside

"If people are simply church members
they probably will not shine In al

"The merchant who claims to be
Christian and does not pay his employes
a living wnga Is a hypocrite, and his
light will not shine, at all for Christ. And
tho man who claims to be a Christian
and robs his employer by doing as little
work as he can and getting as much
money ns he can force from tho boss is
every bit as much of a hypocrite." That
was the way "Billy" Sunday weighed
the problem between tho employer and
the employe.
"What about you merchants who keep
your clerks working long hours over
counters? If you had only your chances
of going to heaven dependent on tho tes
timony of those clerks, would you go? I
don't believe ihere ure many girls who
are working for 8 per week, a dollar per
day, wearing the clothes thoy are wear
ing, paying the room rent they nro pay
ing, and doing it all on the small salary.
I don't believe they oan do It and live
square. If they nro driven to make a
little money on the side to exist, who's
to blame? Who has driven them to do
it?"

bravely before the world and let It know
that they are Christians and to live suah
lives that all those who see them will
want to be like them.
"Don't be a coward. I hate a sneaking
coward," Sunday sneered. "Why any per
son should be ashamed to stand up and
let the world know that he Is a Christian
I have never been able to understand.
Why a man or a woman la ashamed of
the fact that they are living decent lives
I can't understand.
"There's too many lobsters who refuse
to allow It to be known where they stand.
That's why It Is so bard to koep the devil
down. If they were members ot the Elks
they would allow It be known. If they
were members of the K. of P. they'd al
low It be known. If they were Masons or
Odd Fellows tliey'a allow It be known.
If they were Republicans or Democrats
they'd allow it to be known. It is the
duty ot every Christian to look after his
