BIG DRIVE IN V Historic Battleground Again Scene of Great Contest. 10,000 PRISONERS TAKEN permans Taken By 8urprlM Along 20 Milt Front Deepest Penetration Wai Seven And A Half Mils. Paris. The number of prisoners taken by the French and British In plcardy now exceed 10,000, according to the latest news from the battle Cront, The Alllea also have taken an enor laoui booty In guns and material, aayt Marcel Hutln, In the Echo de Paris. London. In aerlil fighting preced ing the offensive In Plcardy British airmen accounted for 22 German ma chines, 15 of which were destroyed, aays the official statement on aerial operations. The historic battleground between Amiens and Montdldler again la the cene of a mighty contest. This time the British and French are the ag gressors and under their fierce on slaught In the Drat day's battle they bare penetrated deeply into the Ger man positions over a front of more than twenty miles, reaching from the region of Draches to the neighborhood of Morlancourt. . Following short, but Intensive, ar tillery preparation and aided by misty weather, the Allied attack took the Oermana completely by surprise, and they fled almost everywhere pell mell before the tanks, motor machine-gun batteries, cavalry and infantry sent against them. All the objectives set for the Australians, Canadians, Eng lishmen and Frenchmen were attained. Thousands of Germans were made prisoners. Large numbers of guns were captured, great quantities of war materials were taken and a score or more of Tillages and hamlets were re occupied. In addition heavy casual ties were inflicted on the enemy. At its deepest point the penetration of the German line was about seven and a half miles, eastward from VII-lers-Dretonneux to Framervllle, while from two to five miles were gained all along the front from northwest of Montdldler to the region around Mor lancourL The fighting extended north of Morlancourt to the Albert sector, but no official details concerning, it cave been received. The advance of .the Allies In the center places them well astride the railroad leading from Vlllers-Dreton-Beaux to the important Junction at Cbaulnes, where lines radiate north eastward toward Peronne and south ward through Roye to Complegne. The railway running northward to Craye was crossed when the Allies took Framervllle. Well out on the plains and pressing forward, seemingly with great rapid ity, the present offensive of the French and British gives promise of seriously menacing the entire German front from near the sea to Rhelnis. If the drive should proceed eastward to any great depth It cannot but affect the armies of the German Crown Prince sow fighting between the Aisne and the Vesle, and possibly make Imprac ticable a stand by thera even north of the Aisne, along the Cheniln-dea-Dames. Under the pressure of the offensive the menace to the channel ports also seems for the moment, at least, to Tanlsh. AUeady there have been signs lo the northward from the positions where Crown Prince Rupprecht had formed hi men for a drive toward the channel that a retrograde movement by the Germans was not Improbable. With the armies of his Imperial cousin on the Solssons-Rhelms salient badly shattered and unable to lend him aid when his own forces north of Mont dldler are In a rather precarious posi tion as a result of the new offensive, It Is apparent that Rupprecht will have to defer liU campaign to cut off the cross-channel service.

As Ye ErtV. )U!'Su5 all r? i pe I m E OUT BATTALION Germans Now Have Their Backs to the Aisne. STIFF RESISTANCE EXPECTED German Battalion Under Terrific Fire Of A Protecting American Machine Detachment In An Elevated Position. American Army on the Alsne-Marne Front. American machine gunners, protecting a ' location on the Vesle west of Flames, wiped out an entire battalion of German infantrymen and machine gunners. The Germans, at the time, were getting into position to attack a group of American bridge builders, who were approaching the location. Some bridge material already had been moved near the south- bank of the Vesle and the Germans, apparent ly discovering this fact, bad sent a battalion to a bill position to prevent the Americans from carrying out their plans. A detachment of crack Ameri can machine gunners, however, pre viously bad taken an elevated position commanding the location and opened Ore when the Germans appeared. Observers reported that they did not see a single German get away from the leaden bail, and, according to the last accounts, not even enemy stretcher-bearers approached the scene. The Germans replied so feebly with their Are, because of the surprise, that there were no American casualties. With their back to the Aisne, the Germans continued preparations for what may be either a stiff resistance to give them more time for further withdrawal for a definite stand. The little force of men who were sent into Flsmes still maintain their foothold although they are not yet across the river, which flows through the extreme northern portion of the town, 1 Under a heavy barrage all of their wounded have been taken out, and during the night food was taken to them. The Germans have been unremitting In their efforts to dislodge the Ameri cans hounding the town with shells and deluging it with gas. Numerous efforts have been made to retake the position, but in every Instance the accuracy of the Ameri can Are, both of the supporting artil lery and the small arms of the In fantry with It, drive back the enemy. To the east and west of FUmes the Americans have continued their reconnaissance work, patrols crossing the river at different places. The de tachments, however, never exceeded more than twenty men. Near (town deleted) a few men have remained, and another force Is on the hill over the river near Flsmes. From the German Bide observers have reported wagon trains In large numbnrs moving over some of the roads toward the rear. This Is not construed as conclusive evidence that the Cermans still are In retreat. Dut this fact and the further fact that up to date the Germans have not used at all extensively any but their small and medium caliber guas tends to sup port the belief that the Crown Prince really Intends to make tho Aisne the objective of his line of retreat. The clearing up of the big field of retreat has netted in one-half of tho territory advanced over by the Amer icans alone 15 trainloads of ammuni tion and general supplies. HOOVER VISITS BATTLE FRONT. He Stops At Belleau Wood, Where Americans Made Great Fight. Paris. Herbert C. Hoover.

AMERICANS W Q Sow lit PLAN TO SMASH United Strength of Allies to Be Hurled Against Them MARCH OUTLINES PROGRAM United States Officials Had Been Urging A Vigorous Aggressive Campaign At Earliest Pos-. ible Moment. Washington. Dacked by a reser voir of 5,000,000 American troops, Field Marshal Foch, supreme com mander of Che American and Allied armies, is preparing to hurl the entire united military strength of France, Great Britain and the United States against the Germans on the weatern front in ordor to bring the war to a victorious conclusion in the shortest possible time. Next spring will see the terrific conflict, already in prog ress on the Alsne-Vesle line, In full swing with Foch's armies striking with all their power. This was the impreselon gained by members of the Senate Military Com mittee who heard General March, chief of staff, explain In executive session. the War Departments reasons for ask ing extension of draft age limits to Include all men between 18 and 46 years of age. They learned also thut the definite decision to enlarge the American military program to an army of 5,000,000 men was reached about July 30, and Is in accordance with an agreement reached In Paris shortly before that time. The date when the United States decided to more than double the great effort It already was making and to bring Its whole manpower to boar Immediately may be significant Gen. Foch's smashing blow which has flat tened, out the Alsne-Marne salient and has thrown the whole German front from Rhelms to the sea Into Joopardy, was struck July 15, with American troops bearing their full share. It appeared possible that the suc cess of that blow had Influenced American officials who continuously have pressed for a vigorous aggres sive campaign at the earliest possible moment and with attention concen trated on the western front, to believe that enough could be done this year to prepare the way far a smashing military triumph next year when the full American Army becomes avail able. The period of time covered by estimates for equipment and trans portation of troops under the enlarged army plan is underbtood to carry it up to next aprlng. As the project is understood, al though no details are obtainable, It Is contemplated to place an army of substantially 3,000,000 American troops in France before the spring campaign opens, backed by 2,000,000 more at home, moving forward as needed.

THE CREW ROWS ASHORE Navy Department Officials Convinced U-boats Are Attacking Only Help less Craft And Will Not i Expose Themselves. Washington. Destruction by a sub marine of Diamond. Shoal Lightship No. 71, a helpless craft anchored off Cape Hatteras to warn shipping from the treacherous shoals forming the "graveyard of the Atlantic Coast," con firms the belief of naval officials that German sea wolves sent to this side of the Atlantic are under orders to handi cap commerce in all ways possible without exposing themselves to naval or other formidable opponents. The crew of 12 men on the light ves sel escaped In the small boat and rowed the 10 or 12 miles to shore. Subsequently, the submarine ap peared within half a mile of the land which projects far out from the main coast of North Carolina. There were no reports of attacks on villages, coast guard stations or lighthouses, commander in allowing himself so near the beach was not clear. So far as has been reported, no attack was made on any villages or other objects. Secretary Daniels said that undoubt edly the purpose of the submarine commander In destroying the lightship was to hinder commerce as much an possible. Great volumes of both coast wise and overseas commerce pas Cape Hatteras, both lo and from Southern ports, and the Germans prob ably believed that with the lightship gone some vessel might be wrecked on the shoals. So far as had been reported, how ever, no vessels had come to grief In the meantime, steps have beer taken to replace the lightship by an ether which always is held in reservi for this station. Officials recalled that since the firs' raider appeared off the Virginia Capei last May no warships or other formld able antagonists have been attacked The raiders now operating the oni off the Virginia-Carolina Coast and tin other In Canadian waters appear t have been even more cautious thar were those which sent down some 2f vessels between New York and the Virginia Cape In May and June. Complete reports of the attacks on the lightship have not been received by the Navy Department, but official assumed that the submarine opened fire without giving the crew time to take to' the small boat. In the absence of any specific In formation to the contrary, officials also assumed that it was the submarine which sank the American tank steam er O. B. Jennings off the Vl-glnia Capes. Attacks on other vessels In that vi cinity are to be expected, but naval patrol boats and seaplanes already are endeavoring to protect shipping and hunt out and destroy the enemy. With a long shore line on which to operate and deep water for submerging to hide from patrols, however, the advantage In this game of hide and seek lies with the enemy. APPLES COOKING ON TREES.

StJTCLIFFE Exteoiioa Department, Moody Bible ImtituU, tbicago TEXT Weasel Is the man that trust nth In tho Lord. Jt-r. 17:8. The blessedness of this text Is foi both Hlnner mid saint. The sinner hm nothing to do foi salvation hu simply trust tin Lord, mid tin saint has notlilnj more to do fot satisfaction. Th. great obstacle t( blessedness li mnn's evil hear of unbelief. Tin sin that Is com mon to all men li the besetting sit of unbelief keep Ing the slnnei from snlvntloi and likewise th saint from satis faction. The word "trust" has several mean Ings. In Psulms 2:12, "Blessed are ul they that put their trust In him." II means to have confidence In the Lord as the Ruler or King. Not long ago a man held the high-sounding title ol his majesty, czar of all the Russian. As such many put their trust In him. But he lost the high place and became merely Nicholas Romanoff without power to aid those who trusted him. But the one who trusts the Lord as Ruler and King tins One whose title and throne Is established forever. In Ruth 2:12, Boas speaking to Ruth concerning the Lord, says: "Un der whose wings thou art come to trust." Here the word means "to find refuge." It reminds one of the high winds nnd mounting waves threaten ing to engulf a laboring ship. But battered and blown, she comes tum bling over the harbor bar out of the stormy seas to the calm and safety of her refuge. Or It reminds of the mother bird celling her young at the approach of an enemy and gathering them to safety under her protecting wings. So the'snlnt upon life's stormy sea may find a refuge under the wings of the Almighty. Safety and rest from all storms and all enemies are bis by simply trusting the Lord. A slightly different meaning of the word Is fiund In Psalms S0:3, "What time I am afraid I will trust In thee." Here it moons "to lean on." Tho psalmist found himself surrounded by enemies. None came to his support There seemed no help for him. Tired and wenry In the unequnl struggle his soul cried out for Rome one to leun on nnd to gather strength from. Facing the surrounding enemies alone the fenr of failure and defeat gripped Idm until relief rnme hy trusting In the Lord or leaning on his God. Per haps, my render, there Is no way out of your difficulties, but there Is a way over, nnd you may trend thnt way by leaning on your Lord. Trust him, lean upon him, nnd tho harder you lean the more you please him. Another meaning of the word Is In Psalms 22:8. "He trusted on the Lord .thnt he would deliver him." It means here, "Ho rolled himself on the Lord." This psalm foretells the ex perience of our Lord upon the cross. He wns there forsnken nnd alone. Even his God seemed to have left him nnd his followers had fled. Ills ene mies rejoiced In his sorrow. The blackness of ml(Nii;ht gloom settled upon him. Rut then In spite of them selves, his enemies gave voice In thlr way to satisfaction. He could roll himself on tho ljr. This Is his de sire for his people today. There tuny not ho strength to rise and wnlk to him, but there Is always power to roll oneself upon the Lord, to trust him nnd trusting, find thnt ho not only car ries the burden but tho believer o well. Still another mennlng of the word Is In Job .1,1 :M, where It means "to stay upon." Job could not understand why such grievous sorrow and loss should he his. Ho desired to find the Almighty nnd plond with him, butflod appeared to hide from him. How often It is so with Christians. They wnlk In sorrow's path nnd troubles spring nut on every side. They pray, but the heavens seem us brass. They cry to God, hut he nppenrs to hnve forgotten them. They search to find tho cause nnd ran find none. Darkness hup .rounds them. What can they do? A? Job did. nnd doing found complete satisfaction, simply trust or stay upon his God. Glory of the Christ Child.

DEVOTIONAL KEADINU-Psatms 122: ADDITIONAL MATERIAL Mark 11 MS IT; Acts 10:33: I Corinthians 8:9; 12:4-23; I-Jphesian 4:1-11 I. The Church Worshiping (Acts 2: 42 47). As the result of rotor's prenchlng nt Pentecost about three thousand per sons confessed Christ In baptism. That their conversion wns genuine Is evi denced by what they did: 1. "Continued steadfastly In the apostles' doctrine" (v. 42). Continuance nnd steadfnstness are Infallible proofs of the genuineness of one's conversion. They not only were steadfast, but they kept themselves In the school of Christ came regulnrly to tho meetings to be Instructed by the ipostles. Christians cannot grow un less they feed upon God's word. Trashy novels nnd story papers will not mnke Christians grow. The "sincere milk of the word" la essential to growth (I Peter 2:2). 2. Kept themselves In the fvllow ship of the apostles (v. 42). This doubtless means thnt they nt tached themselves to the church and sought the friendship of Christian peo ple. Christian growth is helped by as sociation with Chrlstlnn people, not by withdrawal. One who expects snnctl flentlon In seclusion will be doomed to disappointment. 3. They went regularly to the com munion tablo (v. 42). In the "brenklng of brend" they sym bolically fed upon Christ. True wor shipers will not neglect this means of grace. 4. They went regulnrly to the pray er meeting (v. 42). Trnycr Is the very breath of soul growth. It Is ns necessnry to spiritual life ns breathing Is to physical life. The result of such life wns: (1) Wholesome fenr (v. 4.1). (2) A powerful ministry (v. 43). Mnny wonders and signs were done by the apostles. (3) Mtitnnl ministry (vv. 44 45). Those who give themselves to' Christ are large-hearted nnd generous, giving of their substance to help the poor nnd needy. (1) A constant wor ship (v. 40). (5) Unity nnd gladness (v. 40). (0) Gracious Influence nmong the people (v. 47). (7) A perpetual growth (v. 47). Where such genuine ness Is mnnlfest there will he growth. The Lord added to tho church dally there wns n continuous revival. II. The Church Witnessing (Acts 4: 31-35). Note the characteristics' of a wit nessing church: 1. A praying church (v. 31). For every want end every need they betook themselves to God In prnyer. 2. A splrlt-fllled church (v. 31). When they prayed the place was shnken wherein they were gathered to gether. They were nil filled with tho holy spirit. Tho spirit Is given In an swer to prnyer (Luke 11:13). 3. A testifying church (v. 31). The ministers had boldness In testi mony. 4. A united church (v. 32). They were of one heart nnd one soul, united In the one body to tho one head by tho holy spirit. 5. A churltuble nnd generous church (v. 32). They held nothing bnck from those who had need. C. Its membership possessed un blemished chnrncters; great grace wns upon them nil. III. The Church Overcoming Diffi culties (Acts ft:l-4). Out of the benutlful fellowship of this early church grew a pecullnr dif ficulty. Among the Grecian Jews there came n feeling that pnrtlnllty had been shown In the distribution of funds. Tho difficulty wna recognized nt onco nnd properly dealt with. The npostles re fused to Allow this to divert their niln lstry, so they proceeded with tho Ini tial orgnnlzntlon In tho church, the ap pointment of deacons. We have here Ret forth tho qualifications or those who nro to look after tho business end of the church. 1. Good report (v. 3). It Is highly Important thnt even the business nlTuIrs of tho church should ho In the hnnds of honest men. Tho Church cannot nfford to Appoint men of doubtful reputation to do such work. 2. Full of the holy spirit (v. 3). Tho temporalities f the church should only he entrusted to splrlt-fllled men. 3. Full of wisdom (v. 3). Tho highest wisdom Is required In tho hnnilllng of tho business sldo of church life, nnd this should be done by men other thnn ministers. Ministers should give themselves to prayer and preaching.
