General Baron von Freytug-i-onng iovcd, chief pf the supplementary gcn ?ral staff of the German army, has de mand that the general political and jconomlc situation of the war works inly In favor of the allies and that Sermany's soldiers will be defrauded >f the fruits of her victories. General Lorlnghoven believes trench warfare a great mistake and thinks that only in aggressive attack would have brought success. He adds, however, that the German offensive was not strong enough to overthrow the allies. He Is shown, at left In photograph, talking with a member of his staff. But One Ideal. Ideals of beauty differ where the body is concerned. One person prefers blue eyes and another brown. "What a pretty girl Bessie Is." one will say, and knottier will answer: "Why, I never thought Bessfe particularly pret ty, but her sister Mary?" and so on. But when beauty of chaTOOHTts cdn cerned, there Is no such disagreement. Everyone renllzes that unselfishness Is 1 beautiful, and selflshnwi* ugly, that kindness Is charming and hate hideous. There Is no danger of your becoming ! confused by a double standard. There I Is but one Ideal for the beauty of the spirit.?Girl's Companion. His Age.

While it may be premature to assart that the British war machine hai forced a devlsloa oyer the German# Mr. Baker says, the victories of the past fortnight, threatening the Oer> man submarine bases on the Belgian roast, are conclusive Indications of ai lied superiority. With iavorabU weather he thinks these victories will be repeated and eitended The review for the week, makes no reference to the American forces In France or to the great preparations for war going forward at home. Tltanie Struggle in Flanders. "The attention of the world," it gays, "Is focused on the titanic strug gle now going on In Flanders. The battle raging there Is proving an en gagement of wholly unprecedented scope and potentialities. "At the beginning of the week, ow ing to bad weather, the Germans were able to launch counter-attacks against the positions recently gained by the British. Notwithstanding the fact that the Oermans made use of smoke screens, liquid lire and brought Into action an Imposing array of artillery In their attack against the advanced British lines between the Tower Ham lets and Polygon wood as well as along the Menln road, their efforts proved futile. "It is significant on the other hand, that while the British were sustaining the shock of German assaults sue cesssfully they were able to bring up sufficient fresh troops In order to launch another offensive action on an even larger scale than the preced ing one In the face of the enemy's on ilaurht Drive Sweeping Onward. "Slowly, but therefore the most Ir resistibly, the allied drive at the heart of the Qerman line in the west la sweeping onward. "The wisdom of the British la maintaining a great density of front would appear Justified by the results achieved during the past week. It must be borne In mind that it Is due to the depth of the British line as much as to any other cue factor, that, while the enemy is still reeling under one blow, the allies are ready to de liver another and still a third. "It has been characteristic of the campaign In Flanders hitherto that neither belligerent has attained what we may call a decisive success. "The Germans have massed their greatest war strength aloLg this bat tle front." Sound Strategy. "To attack them at their strongest point of resistance is sound strategy. "The defeats Inflicted upon them during the past fortnight are con clusive Indications of allied superior ity. In the light of past experiences, it may be premature to assert that the British have succeeded In forcing a decision, but It may be stated with emphasis that In no engagement hith erto has such vigor, energy and con certed speed of action been displayed. "The full success of these opera tions means that the Belgian coast, with Its numerous submarine bases, will become untenable to the enemy. Zeebrugge. Ostend and the system of canals leading out of Bruges are threatened. "The supreme test of the battle strength of the contending belliger ents Is taking place. Allied ascend ency would appear decisive. Contributing Factors. "The two Immediate contributing factors of this success are: Air con 'rol and shell supply "The former made It possible for the allies to locate enemy concentra tions, the latter to break them up be fore they could develop Into serious offensive actions, at the same time permitting their own concentration of men and guns to bp carried out with clockwork regularity, unhampered by enemy Interference. "The British are thui able to im port that since July 31 last they bar* not lout a single gun. while they have captured 332 field and heavy guns and taken SI.435 prisoners. During the fighting of the past two days they have added 4.44S prisoners. Including *14 pfTlcera. to this Imposing total. Enemy Realizes Oanjsr. "The enemy realizes the danger ha '< facing. "We may expect him to counter-at tick In force. He (pay even regain certain secondary objectives tempo rarily, but the British war machine is moving forward, and If time permits and the combat season remains open, with the weather continuing favorable for reconnaissance and careful air craft observations, the allied victories of the past two weeks mill In all probability be repeated and extended. 'The enemy pressure along the ?astern front has been relieved by the strong allied offensive In Flan ders.

LEMON TEXT?Kara GOLDEN TEXT-Knur into hi. Cate? with thanksgiving. ?n.l Into hU courtn with prtlK.-Patlma W0:l i The remnant which returned had I now become (veiled In their new homes As It would he a considerable time be fore the temple could be rebuilt, ar rsngement *m ma<le for the religion* , life as early as poaslblo, as religion was the Terjr heart of the'natlon's life. They first set op the altar of the God of Israel (8:1-3) and offered burnt of j ferine* thereon. They next revived the annual festivals (3:4-7) which had a powerful, unifying Influence upon them. | I. The Appointment of Officer* to Set Forward the Work of the Lord's House (v. 8, 9). Overseers were need ed to direct this great work. Itubblsh needed to be cleared away so the build- ! Ing operations could begin; timber needed t& be cut In the Lebanon forests and floated down to Joppa; stones needed to be cut from the quarries; In telligent und consecrated men were needed to direct this work, as It was needful that It be done with the utmost expedition. The Lord's house demands the most systematic adjustment of Its labors. Mere zeal will not make up for lack of Intelligence. II. The Foundation of the Temple Laid (3:10-13). * Thin whs done amid j great rejoicing. The consciousness that ; the Lord'* house wax taking shap-*. even though the mere foundations could be seen, provoked great enthu siasm on the part of the people. Mu sicians were appointed to furnish mu sic while the work was being done. Un der the Influence of music men will do better work, armies will march and flght better when bands are playing. While there was great Joy, there was also, mingled sorrow. This was on the . part of the elder* who had seen the former temple. The meanness of the present temple In comparison with Solortion's temple caused their praise to he drowned with their sorrow, i These people belonged to that claas who think that nothing now Is so good as In the former days. So completely i were these voices commingled that the people nould not discern the one from the other. III. The Building of the Temple De layed by Opposition. (Chapter* 4 and 5). For a time matters wept smoothly with them, hut as *oon as the work had taken snch shape as to show that j there was some prospect of success, the half-heathen Samaritans began to oppose them. No vital work of God will be allowed to go on without oppo sition. Satan resent* and bitterly op poses all Inroads upon his kingdom. These Samaritans sought to frustrate this work of God by: (1) An* Alliance With the Jew* (4:2, 3). They wanted to bring the work In harmony with their own religious practices, a* God'* pure worship would be a constant rebuke to them. Thl* Is ever the way of the world, to seek to effect .a compromise with God'* chil dren; but God'* cnll Is separation. "Ome out from among them" (2 -Cor. (1:14-18). Nothing so weakens God'* cnuse as worldly alliance and compro mise. There Is but one answer to be given to sueh an offer of compromise. "Ye have nothing to do with us In building n house unto our God." We are In the world, but not of the world. (2) Weakening the tlnnds of the People (4:4). Doubtless thl* Included the withdrawal of supplies, the spread Ing of dissension among the workmen, md the employment of counselor* ! against them. i (3) Letters of Accusation to the Per sian King (4:6, 7). So severe was thla opposition that the building was de layed for a term of years. These coun selor* succeeded In creating doubt a* to whether Cyrus had ever Issued a de- ! cree for their return. This wicked op position resulted In the undoing of the opposers, for senrch was made and a copy was found. Darius confirmed this by his own decree, nnd directed that ' aid be given from the royal taxes no that the house of God might be built. iv. inc i tmpie oompieiea ana Deai cated (0:14-18). The Prophets Hnggnl nnd Znchariah now appear, and hjr | warnings, exortatlons nnd entreaties i atlr up the people so thnt the work goes forward to a successful comple tion. Without their aid probably the j ' work would never hare been completed, i ; Human nature at times needs to -be | ? cheered and urged forward. These prophets did not themselves work In the building of the walls, yet their work was of even greater Importance. It Is generally found that thl* Is so with the religious leaders today. The words of cheer and encouragement of the Christian minister are needed dally for those who labor In the build ing of the Lord's house. Were It not i 1 for them many would give up the strug gle. 1 Vhen the building was finished It : was dedicated to Ood with great Joy. This was possible because they had 1 butlded and finished their task accord ing to the commandment of the Ood of . Israel. The service of dedication was [ much after the order of that of Solo mon's temple, only on a less magnifi cent scale. Indifference of Knowledge.
