What may be the outcome of the extensive forward movement which is being made by the Russians along a 250 mile line from the Pripet to Rumania cannot be foretold. That it has been carefully planned and is backed by enormous forces is indi- cated by the storles which tell of the carrying of strong fortifications and the ‘capture of 40,000 prisomers by a series of massed attacks. It was in this region that the Rus- slans formerly punctured the Aus- trian line and drove them back al- most out of the Carpathiaps. Upon that occasion the army on the offen- sive was working under the serious handicap of inadequate supplies and ammunition and the time came when they were forced backward far into their own country: even quicker than they went ahead. It was then that it was revealed that whole divisions were not only without ammunition but even without firearms. There was nothing else for them to do but = treat except that they surrender to the enemy. There was uo lack of de- termination or ability ta fight at that time on the part of the Russians, but there was a serlous lack of things to fight with. In this new offensive, after many months of preparations, there are rea- sons to believe that this impediment has been overcome. The lesson of the past has been such that it could hardly be ignored in this respect, and even though Austria has more than a half million to defend that line, the advance which the- czar's army under @ new general is making stronsly supports the belief that they are this time properly prepared. Not only is it likely to lessen the activity which Austria is engaged in elsewhere but it 18 ‘bound to have the long needed influence upon Rumania -which the allies have been trylng to exert.

Simple followers of the faith are slightly disturbed by _this condition, save as they are taught to accept the sectarian conclusions that have multiplied the creeds. These are the outstanding features of the gener- al sitvation. The solution rests with the preachers, who are the chief dis- putants and who confess themselves able to agree on the central dogma, but not on its radiations. The action of the Baptists, the Mothodists and e Presbyterians in their recent ses- mor- may be leading forward to the great union of all creeds and a con- sequent impetus to the general pensian of their faith, but the pro- gress is slow.—Torrington Register. ‘Those who live in fine surroundings are to “lvt to think themselves power. must get together and solve the prob- lem of housing their workmen, financially able must be content to invest a few thous- and dollars upon which they will re- ceive little financial return, but upon fom itself was crowded long before the announced hour for the openming. e bandsman at the front is not a after inspiring the strains and when the shot and shell haye done their work, he drops his instrument and, ‘with the Red Cross on his sleéve, goes out over the fleld to pick up the wound- .
