Th allien had to face a "snow storm" of shel'i.. The thought in every- mind was "mrch forward and onward." The Merman cenrrals wer making frantic efforts to hurl their forces across the Marne ko as to .smash a hole in the allied lin at that point, hut the weary, hungry erman soldiers could not cope with the fresh, well armed confident French and I'.riti.h troops that marched against thern. All the bridges over the Marne had been blown up and whn th flermans were forced to give way under the pressure of the attacking force they were caught in a trap. At one point 1 attempts at a bridge were repulsed. The river was full of dead bodies. I haCe talked with soldiers who were at Chnrlroi and Mons when the thunderous volleys of the (iormaii '-runs seemed to make a very gate way of hell hut that fighting was no moro ferocious than the contlict which raged around Meaur. and along th banks of the larne. Cne sdlier told me he personally counted 10 corspes in one (Jerman trench. When the Germans retired the battle fields presented the scenes or horror and carnage which the Imagination cannot adequately grasp. Germans IOM Ammiiiiition. As the German infantry fell back their rifle lire slackened, showing a scarcity of ammunition. I am told that in one instance the Germans marched 111 miles without firing a shot a their pursuers. The overmastering excitement of the lighting drove some of the soldiers to madness. These raving maniacs fired upon their own comrades, and many of thern had to he shot down by fellow soldiers. The German officers were wild with rage when thir lines wavered and began retreating. More than one otlicer is alleged to have emptied his mazagine pistol Into the ranks of his own men, when they failed to heed hi exhortations to "stand tirm." As the French closed up with the German rear guard the allies began to take prisoners in batches of hundreds. In one instance seven cannon and two machine guns were raptured. German prisoners said they had had noth'ng to eat but a little bread and raw vegetables for several days. They also admitted that they had been warnfd to save their ammunition for "future fighting." .Many Guns Are Taken. As the retreat grew more and more guns were taken. An ammunition train mure than four miles long fell into the hands of Gen. Pali's men. The Germans were littered with rides, bayonets and other accoutrements. The French entered one village on the Ourrq (name withheld) at dusk, just as the Germans had left. In one large house they found a dinner table spread. The only occupant of the place was an old woman, who said that a number of German officers (evidently the staff) had entered the house demanding food. "They were well behaved, hut seemed very tired." said the woman. "They were compelled to f.-e before they could eat." There was a good deal of hand-to-hand fighting on the Ourcq and at one point the French took a standard. Itlglit Mank Thrown Ikiek. Kv Tuesday the army of Gen. Von Kluk. composing the right think of the German grand army, had been thrown from the Marne the Ourcq and the Grand Morin, and was still retiring rapidly toward the northeast in the direction of Iion. The situation of the G rman forces which had originally occupied from Meaux to Sezanne was serious. Immediately steps were necessary to save the line. Reinforcements were sent westward and a tremendous effort was made to break up the French attack In this quarter, but the second attempt of the Germans was as unsuccessful as the first had been. On Tuesday great guns boomed in another hattle north of the Ourcq where'the German generals were hurliner their exhausted troops against the allies. Iut the attack of the allies could not be broken. T heard of a curious incident during this fight which illustrates the spirit of the French soldiers. A message had to be carried from one part of the field to another under tire and volunteers were asked. One man of those who stepped forward was chosen. He failed to re turn. A second went forward upon the fatal mission, but soon fell with a shattered leg. The third messe-nger succeeded although he had five bullet holes through his clothing. Find Three Dead German.. French soldiers entered a small cottaue after the fighting. There they found three German soldiers lying dead upon a bed. The Germans- had pushed the bed to a window from from which they we-re tiring, but a French shell had exploded !n the room, killing all three. The head o

one eif the Germans was missing and it never was found. liy Wednesday night t e Germans had falle n back about 50 miles leaving a long trail ef spoils. From Vitry-I-e-Franeois to I.'tFerte-MiIon the re-

re at was ge neral. The- em' .' place .

u he-re the German line setmed able j to withstand the terrific shocks of the j allied advance was in the center, J

south ef the' forst of Argonne. The Germans fought well, but they were spent. French strategy outmaneuvered that of the- German generals. The German prisoners are amiable and seem ? o hold no extraordinary hatred against their captors with the exce ption of the officers, who are surly and angry. saw nume rous instances where- these sun-browned, harde ne d veterans broke down and we pt like little children at the kindness bestowed upon them by the French priests and the French nurse s. Grvat Sclwrs Closed on German. Fonsldcring that section of operatiens immediately east of Paris can make it clearer by the following compari5en: With Paris as a base, two French armies, stretched outward, one northeastward toward the Ourcq. the other southeastward toward the lower reaches of the Grand Morin. When the proper time tame they closed like the blades of a gigantic mir of scissors and the German right wing was caught in the vise-like grip. There was nothing for the Germans to elo but give battle or fall back. They chrsp to fight, but weie' overpowere-d". and from retirement their movement developed into retreat, then rout.

Possession Will Bring Out Either Good or Bad Points, Says Rev. H. L. Davis Sunday School Man to Speak.

JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT SHOULD BE REWARD Salary .Only Fnaole Man to Continue Ills Industry. Says Kahbi Cronbaeli.

Tiabbi Abraham Cronbach talked on the "Labor Question" at the morning services at the Temple P.eth-Kl. lbsaid: "All work is holy. Why should the work of the' carpenter be less holy than that of the minister or the work of the .scrub woman or the messenger be less holy than that of the charity ministrant Do not these also serve their fe-llow men? "The reward for my work is the joy I get out of the opportunity to serve. My salary that, is not my reward. That is simply the tool of my work. I could not work if I elid not have food. J could not work if 1 did not have clothes. I could not work if 1 did not have a place to sleep and perhaps alo some recreation. That is what the salary is for. It is not th" thing which induces me to wejrk, but the tMng which makes the work possible. Hut reward how can a wage or salary be a reward? The reward must be the work itself. The deepening love ;hat comes from love, the increased capacity fr sacrifice that conies from sacrifice, the heightened joy in .vork that comes from work these must be the reward. "I wdl grant that as long as hours are unjustly long and wages unjustly low this attitude of mind of labor beimr its own reward will be slow in coining. And that is just why hours should not be unjustly long and wage's unjustly low. That is the chief evil. The' physical harm is smaller than the spiritual harm of excessive hours and insufficient pay. Excessive hours and insufficient pay prevent 'the upward looking and ihe light.' "Nothing can be more unfortunate in an industrial way than the strike. Let strikes be superseded by arbitration. It is net the poeir workmanship that creates fresh jobs. It is the good workmanship that creates fresh jobs. Whatever makes money scarce makes jobs scarce. That is why strikes and Inefficiency make jobs scarce. That is why drunkenness and vice and extravagance make jobs scarce.

Money as an element in shaping the character and de-stiny of man formed the theme ef a sermon delivered yesterday morning at the First Methexlist church by Kev. II. L. Davis. Money is productive eif vice or virtue in the same relation that the individual puts himself to his money, said the pastor. That Jesus teok some notice of money is apparent from various scriptural passages, he said. "Jesus warned men against riches in his saying, that it is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter heaven. That he likewise elid not hold a rich man a feiol is apparent in his great love- for Abraham who was one of the ric hest men in the old testament. "Money will produce four kinds of character," said the pastor. "The man who spends his money foolishly is wasteful: the man who spends sinfully is prodigal; the man who holds his money is a miser; but the man who spends it for good purposes is a good man. Jesus never considered poverty a virtue' nor wealth a crime, but either miht be productive of vice or irtue- as the individm , related himself to his money. "For man to put himself in proper re lation to his money he must consider himself a steward or manager for Id. No man ever lived who in his own strensm paid in full, for a dollar in value; received. His wealth c ame' euther bv be stow :neint from the outside er else by his rwn effects in adjusting the things of life he had never created. For instance lie iece-iv-e-d his clothing from the wool on the sheep's back, e.r the silk from the silk worm ov the cotton from the' field. Therefore he was ;e;irndent upon God lor ail. and had no right to reject a claim of God or humanity whe-n demand yas made for money for christian purposes. "The' amount fixed in the edd days was the first tenth of man's earnings and no place- is found in scripture where Christ eer abrogated this. Therefore all should set aside a part ef their weekly earnings for Christ. In the world to come eur destiny may be Judged largely by how we used our pcjssessions." The address in the evening vvjis given by Harry C. Wilson the Sunday school expe rt of Chicago who spoke em the ideals of a modern Sunday school. He said the great aim of a Sunday school should not alone be the teaching of the bible but to win souls. He will speak again tonight at a meeting of the Sunday school board.

TIGHTENING THEIR GRIP

Japanese Are Slowly Clewing in on Kiao Chan I-ortros.

LONDON. Sept. 14. An Exchange dispatch from Pekin today says: 'Japan is issuing notes te cover the recent war credits voted by the parliament. "Within the fighting zones the Japanese land forces are .slowly tightening their grip around the province of Kiao Chan. Steamers plying between China and Japan are convoyed by warships ef the allies."

"The Devil Presides on Sunday" was the subject eif a first of a series of Sunday evening sermons give-n Sunday night by I lev. C. A. Decker of the First Paptist church. In his talk Rev. M. Decker spoke' on the conditions in America and the things that brought them about. His subject was taken from the text: "Jesus said unto the people the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath also." "I elo not mean to say that Sunday is the only day the devil presides. This is only ene ef he days. Put on this day the devil seems to have control almost a mor.mopol.v of the day. It has beer, proved that Sunday Is not only an arbitrary day set aside, but that it is a neees'sitv as well. The human being needs this day for rest. "After the French involution, an attempt was made by the French to do away with the Sabbath, and have erne day for a holiday. It was to he spent as the people desired. It did not last long, for the people could not stand it. "Although we cannot go back to the days of the Puritan when the Sab1 ath was strictly ol served, we can do better than we are eloing. Conditions now are elifferomt than thev were then. Today the people are huddled in the cities, in the factories, in tenements. They must have some reen-atio'i, but it should not be carried to extremes. When we seek pleasure we force work onto setmeone- else, -uch as the railroad men and hotel employes. ' He spoke ef Pres. Wilson's intlnence in Washington. When Mr. Wilson first went te the capital he found most ef the government ollices open on Sunelay. He gave orde-rs that they should not be kemt open unless absolutely necessary.
