CHURCH MEMBERS Evangelist's Plea Brings Thou sands to Knees in Sawdust; They Come One by One In what Dr. Stough described as "the greatest night ever seen In Har risburg" more than !>OO people—most of them women church members—hit the trail and knelt in the sawdust at the tabernacle last night as a decla ration of repentance and a public con fession of Jesus Christ. Only a few non-church members! were among the numDer, as the audi ence was made up almost entirely of about 7,000 members of the co-operat ing churches who marched to the tabernacle in street parades. The gen eral public occupied the few remain ing seats. Many hundreds were turned away. Dr. Stough was transformed from the humorous sensationalist he has been in the hist ten days and became the serious evangelist and Christian gentleman who wins souls. Mis pun gent preaching to a picked crowd on the subject of "The Dost Christ" was interspersed with death-bed stories, accounts of the result of sin and illus trations of forgiveness, told with a pathos that roused his hearers to a pitch of feeling never before witnessed in Narrlsburg. Koljs. Tears. Cries Hysterical sobbing, cries of help and tears from thousands of eyes told of the emotions of sin-convicted hearts in response to the masterful pleading i of the evangelist. Ills working up tc. • limaxes, his intense sincerity and his sense of power over the crowd are the tools used by a man who thoroughly knows the business of evangelism and salvation. About two-thirds of the trail hitters j were women. Almost half of the total were from the chorus, and practically i all of them were adults. Aside from i the comparatively few cases of hys- j terics that, created some commotion, most of tlie converts seemed well com posed and determined in their action ; of confession.

GERMANS HAVE FAILED IN ATTEMPT TO WIN THEIR WAY TO ENGLISH CHANNEL High Tide of Battle on Fields of Belgium Has Passed, Ac cording to Information Given Out by French Official News Bureau; Fighting From French Border to North Sea Has Become Less Violent; German Air ships Within Forty Miles of London; Two German Cruisers at Valparaiso The high tide of battle on Belgian fields has passed, according to infor mation torday from French official sources, and German might has failed! as yet to win the way to the English I channel. To-day's statement from the French war office announces that the fighting front the French border to the North Sea has become less violent, a circumstance which previously mark ed the passing of each of the succes sive battles. Whether the present situation Indi cates merely a lull in the engagement or the closing of one great act in the .war play is yet to be learned. I What the war is costing in human [life, as well as in men wounded or held prisoners, can only be surmised. Occasionally, however, bits of authen tic information arc obtainable from which may be gathered a vague idea of what it all means. Premier As quith, for example, said to-day In the. House of Commons that (he British casualties up to October 31 were ap provimatciy 57,000. Lord WJtchener stated recently that England had sent 300,000 men to the front. In other words one Englishman out of every six engaged in the war, roughly speak ing, is dead, or has been wounded or taken prisoner. The loss of life among the British nobility has been heavy.

M.—An official dispatch from Constantinople reaching London by way of Berlin confr: , indirectly the recent Russian statement that a Russian fleet has sunk three Turkish transports in the Black Sea. I 1 I I 18 PAGES * POSTSCRIPT centratlon camps. Particular interest was attached to to-day's French announcement for the reason that the liattle in Belgium was considered by both sides as probably I marking a Uelinite turn in the general course of the war. Berlin was siient so I that German viewpoint of the latest (developments was not obtainable. The French statement asserted that several attempt of Germans to cross the Yser canal around which has oc curred some of the most deadly strug gles of the war were checked. These attempted advances were made at tho western outlet from Dixmude, which the Germans wrested from the allies a few days ago, and the way along which the Germans sought to push their forces led straight to Dunkirk on tho channel. Attacks around Ypres also were repulsed, the French announced. Elsewhere on the main line of bat tle gains by the allies are reported, in eluding tho capture of a town north of the Alsne. At several points violent fighting is in progress, a circumstance which corroborated earlier unofficial advices from Paris that the battle, of the Aisne was being resumed with iti> original intensity. Fresh Efforts on Center Military experts in Franco and Eng land have - been predicting that the allies would make fresh efforts along the center or on the eastern wing in on attempt to compel the Germans to send reinforcements there and relievo the pressure in Belgium. From the other fields of battle thero is little new Information. In Berlin was received a dispatch from Vienna which, while stating that the Austrian operations in the northeast were de veloping "without hindrance from the enemy," also contained the admission that central Galacla had been evacuat ed by the Austrians, and that the Rus sians had crossed the lower Vistula [Continued on Page 13]
