It was argued that the conduct of | this retreat without great loss would entail the necessity of the Lublin- Chelm front holding firm. Now that it is broken quick action on the part of the Russians becomes imperative, as also does the stemming of the in- creasing German forces driving from Kovno and Suwalki toward Vilna, the capture of which would cause the northéern line to retreat. British Greatly Concerned. With these developments Great Britain is greatly concerned. Some sections of the newspapers are seizing the opportunity to emphasize Russia’s task and press for conscription here as the best proof to give Russia that the western allies purpese to stand by her. The Russian press, according to spe- | cial despatches reaching London, feel that the western allies should have initiated some movement in France or % Belgium to relieve the strain on Rus- sia, as Russia did by her invasion of East Prussia. ‘With the events shaped as they have, it is realized here that Russia has lost the initiative for the re- mainder of the summer, which will en- able the central powers to strike hard at either France, Belgium, Serbia or Italy. Tentons Enter Lublin. 2 Vienna, July 30, via London, July 31, 11:47 a. m.—Austrian cavalry en- tered Lublin Friday afternoon, ac- cording to an official statement issued tonight at the Austrian war office. By the occupation of Lublin, 57 . » miles southeast of Warsaw, ahe Aus- a trians have cut from the Russians all means of communication connecting the southern Russian front between ‘ the Vistula and Bug rivers. The Rus- sians have battled desparately to pre- ‘vent the Teutnoc allies from gaining .possession of the lvangorod-Lublin- Chelm, railroad, which for some dis- _tance parallels the Vistula river. % ¢ Russlans Fought Valorously. Theé Russians hurried to this front new resexve and beteran troops whose ,ranks had been recruited to full strength. The forces fought valor- ously to retard the progress of their antagonists and administered serious checks to the Austro-German forces, although exposed to merciless artil- lery fire. Field Marshal Von Macken- sen ‘evidently has been successful at Iast, however, in forcing an advance, Until'a few days ago the allies con- <gidered the Russlan defense of the “Lablin-Chelm railroad one of the Phopefiul outlooks in the east. Con- arol of the Lublin-Clem. rail- road will afford the Austro- Germans a means - of quickly massing troops at any point and will deprive the Russians of one of their . main avenues of retreat. A military railroad built by the Russlans south from Lublin' during their occupation —sof Galicia through' a region which, for strategic' reasons, had hitherto ‘beén left proved a great advantage to BY WILL SEAT. | ans in solving the problem of communication.

It seemed to him that the infant Jesus Wwas smiling at him—at his, the hum- blest of his curates—and with folded hands he murmured with all the ar- dor of his tenderne.s and his faith: “0, Seigneur, the sky is your pal- ace, and you did not dfsdain a stable.” The striking of the half-hour awoke him from his reverie. For the last time he looked to see if everything was ready, if the wine was there, if the candles while burning did not run on to the floor, if the paper flowers were looking their best in the vases, and, being reassured, returned to the sacristy. He took from the cupboard his most beautiful lace surplice and his stole with the finé gold cross shining upon the moire silk. Steps were already resounding in the church. The snow was again falling in great flakes, and remember- ing other Christmas festivals so cold that the ground became hard as a rock and the birds died on the edge of the road, M. le Cure thought: “What a beautiful mass I am going to say!” Then, pulling the ear of a little choir-boy, he cried: “Se2, little c=e. The Saviour is pleased with us. He is giving us a beautiful night for his birthday.” But, suddenly he stopped, listening. “Did not some one knock? Go and see.” A gust of cold wind entered through the open door, and a man appeared, covered with sncw, his fingers blue, and so out of breath he could scarcely stammer, “Excuse me—" M. le Cure, who knew his flock for four leagyes round about, did not re- member to have even seen this face.

Just give me time to celebrate my mass and I will come with you.” “Your mass?” said the man a little troubled. “Excuse me, I do not know.

But what would he think if. meeting this wandering soul at the gates of hell, he learnt that he was damned for eternity by my fault?” He clasped his hands, raised his eyes to heaven and besought: “Mon Dieu, make me diseern good from evil. Since it s absolutely necessary that in this minute I e¢om- mit a sin, show ms - hich will be to tle everything.” At the thought of this poor mua who on his bed of agony was waiting for pardon and feeling the great shadow impenetrable and cold de- scending upon him, the cure hesitat- ed no longer, and resolutely said to the man, “Plck up thy lantern and let HIS PARISHI ONERS. us go.” And without taking off either lis surplice or stole, holy oil and the great silver cross, he set off with the peasant, At the same moment the clock sounded mid- night. In the church the talking ceased; men, women and children prostrated themselves, waiting for the entrance of the priest. His hands on the cord, the beadle was ready to ring. M, le Cure did not come. A young wom- an ralsed her head, another imitated her and others did the same. “Well,” said the beadle to the choir- boy. The choirboy made a sign that he did not know. A tiny child whis- a boy tickled vainly tried to stifie a mischievous laugh. Then the infant lesus, who until then had kept very uietly in his manger, seeing that zhlnn were going badly, sat up nojse- lessly and—by a miracle—took the appearance of the cure, his lace sur- piice and stole, then came down in fiteor. 3 old man who had § the Empire and who tary masses sald’ voice, “Je crois en un tout puisant” / S5 The voices man who no lon; late: “Notre sscour An any jours nouvelle, loy-‘ 0 “Oh, oh!” thought minutes.” The Credo ended: he then a voice grave nounced, having taken the|the baker, already on the threshold of tie | door of the church, emptied his back; the girl who was her in her mass great silence an invisible angel passed over the church.
