TAKING THE OFFENSIVE, BUT GERMANS HOLDING THEIR OWN NO IMPORTANT PROG RESS The new year opened with renewed fighting, in both the western and iv eastern "arenas." For the moment the Germans seemed to be on the fensive, with the Allies making the attacks. As usual both sides claim success, but it is plain that neither has won success in any large treas ure. In former wars great battles would result in the unquestioned defeat on one side or the other, end the defeated side would run. Nothing of the son RPpm to h m hravolw fwvht nn both sides, than any other war in I- tory. Every inch of ground is stub- bornly contested. At the end of battle the opposing armies are le facing each other, their position al tered but little from what they were when the fight began. The Russians are reported to be taking the offensive along their entrre front, in Russian Poland, in Gala... and eastern Prussia. Some of the passes of the Carpathian Mountains have been forced; and again, for t third time since this war began, R" sian troops are on the plains of Hun gary.

Mendenhall, editor of The Bul letin, and Clyde H. Ellison, of Frank linville, were tried before Magistrates W. I). Spoon and J. i. Kidge in tho courthouse Monday for criminal libel against J. T. Wood. The defendants introduced no evidence, but made a motion to dismiss the action whie;. was denied. Bond of $250 each waa fixed for their appearance at the nex. term of Randolph Superior court. The case grew out of an article written by C. H. Ellison and publibi. od in The Bulletin. Since all hands are denying respon sibility for, this war must be a self starter. Washington Herald. near the frontier as a British subject was allowed to approach. He says the horror of what he saw almost paralyzes expression. "In a freight boat on the River Maas at Rotterdam, without windows, without doors, with only an open hatchway from which a ladder de scends, several hundred fugitives spend tht;ir nights and the best parts of their days in the iron hold, forever covered with moisture, leaky when rain comes, .with the floor never dry, and pervasive with a perpetual smell of a cave which never gets the light of day. Children are born in the hugger-mugger of such conditions. "In Bergen-op-Zoom where I write these words, there have come since the fall of Antwerp 300,000 hungry marchers, with no resources except what they carry with them. This lit tle town of 15,000 people did its best to meet the terrible pressure, and its citizens went without bread them selves to feed the refugees. How can a small municipality suddenly deal with so vast a catastrophe ? "In Belgium itself the misery of the populace is greater than the misery of the Belgian refugees in other coun tries. It is a democracy of famine. "Of all the foremost nations of the world the United States is the only one that can save Belgium frim star vation, if sh v.-il1. t.:c 3 ll,.' on nation that Germany would allow a foothold for humanity s and Christ s sake in Belgium. Such an opportuni ty, such responsibility no nation ever had before in the history of the world. Spain and Italy join with her, but the iniative and resources and organiza tion are hers. "Wil' the American nation rise to the chance given to it to prove that its -civilization is a repl thing and that its acts measures up with its inherent and prof est Christianity? "In the circumstances the Belgian people are special wards of the one great country that is secure in its peace." Literary Digest, pec. 19,'14. The Kansas City Star believes, that one who refuses to contribute to Belgian relief on the ground that charity should begin and end at home is less likely to give for home con sumption than one who helps the Bel gians. The Outlook wonders at the queS' tion, Has Christianity- failed? We do not recall in the world's history a more splendid exhibition of a Chris tian spirit than that manifested by heroic little Belgium. She had pledg ed to Europe her neutrality, lhat pledge was the protection of Germany from invasiin by France, and the pro tection of France from invasion by Germany. The proffered bribe to. dis regard her pledge she rejected with undisguised scorn. She had nothing to gain and everything to lose by re sistance. And she heroically laid down her life rather than sacrifice her word. If she should never recov er from the wounds inflicted upon her, history shoul reverently inscrihe upon her tomb the apothegam. "She laid down her life for us, and we ought to lav down our lives for the brethren. The Outlook, Dee. 23, 1914.
