"The Young People's Missionary Society" of Loulsburg then gave a spectacular? play, showing the great needs of the women of foreign lands and_the wonderful opportunity offered the women of America to send the healing knowledge of Jesus to the hearts and lives bruised and crushed with sin and superstition. Miss Ruth Early represented the womanhood of America, a splendid child petulant and Impatient because she cannot drive from her mind the words of Missionary she has ?lieard today and lias been shown the wretchedness of other lands. She puts the thoughts away from her* saying there is enough for her to spend her . money on at home and she will not bother herself in things that do not interest her. She falls asleep and In her dreams the women of other lands come to her In their want and misery. The play was deeply Impressive and well presented. The costuming was good and made a very pretty scene. At the close of this play Miss Mary Turner gave a very sweet recitation and other music .was furnished by the Plank Chapel choir. Miss MrKlmmnn i-nnnrll African ? ef the Young People's Societies gave an inspiring plea to the young girls to give not only their service but them selves and their lives absolutely to the Master.

Miss Rogers of the Plank Chapel Society charmingly put forth -the meaning of the pin and pennant used by the Young Peopled Society an>* then the choir sang the society's hymu "loyally to Christ."

Mi ss^ Sudle Sykes, of Loulsburg, is GERMANS PLUNGE OS INTO RUSSIA Armies of Cxar Still In Retreat Over Front of 250 Miles; Serious Blow Likely. (By Associated Press.) London, June 20. ? Driven back over their own frontier north of Lera berg and forced to . cross the river Gnila Lipa, in southeast Gallcia, the Russian armies continue to retreat beftre the Austro-Germans long a front of approximately 250~miles. Berlin records progress in virtually the entire southeastern theatre, al though voilent fighting still is in pro gress beyond the Gnila Lipa, which joins the Dniester at Halicz. Having forced a passage of this stream Gen. Von Linsingen's army is presumably astride, "the railway run ning from Halicz to Lemberg and Stanislau, and now doubtless is aim ing at the line which runs from Lem berg to Odessa through Tarnopol. It seems evident that Germany Is bent on further punishment for the Rusians before relaxing the Intensity of her Galfcin campaign but, with the Russians across the frontier, the Germans will have to rely almost solely on road transport and their advance will be slower. The British press still voices the hope that the Russians soon will wind a tenable lino and deliver a counter blow, but there Is a note of anxiety in nearly all the accounts, together with the warning that either the capture of Warsaw or the seizure of the great railway lines which supply it would be disastrous to Russia and surely would be followed by another German offensive In the WeBt. Notwithstanding the French ' at tacks around Arras, it is argued that the German* must feel comparatively secure in the West, else they would not have risked their tremendous en veloping move against the Russians. "The French are persisting in their as saults in the neighborhood of Arras, hut without appreciable change in the situation.^. visiting her father. Mr. S. S. Sykes near Peach Tree.

Jforle as u Co. operation With the Health Department. " ' - .... What proved quite popular with the children and surprising and pleas ing to the older people o f Loulsburg. was the idea of Dr. A. H. Fleming in co-operating with the health officer. Dr. J. E. Malone, on last Saturday in destroying the homes of mosquitoes. Each child, who wiuld bring ten tin cans on a string ? being strung through a hole in the bottom ? was given a free ticket to the Movie theatre. By time for the show to be gin children had crowded the streets, many with strings of cans much lon ger than they and a picture was made. But it proved that tills was not all by any means as for an hour or mora children with cans could be seen coming down the streets. The idea was a good one and Dr. Fleming is to be congratulated for his generosity in ridding the town of something over thirteen hundred old cans that would have otherwise become breeding places for mosquitoes. He informs us he will put on and feature "rat day" next Saturday, when every child bringing two live rats or five dead ones will be given a free ticket. Mission Study Cllkfe.
