This Weei Probably to Be Most Crucial of the War. (By The Associated Press.) London, Nov. 9 Russia dominates : fhe military situation today. The spf( d with which she has cleared the invaders from Russian Poland must necessarily have great effect on the .mrxiii-n in the war theatre. Already the inhabitants are re- pori'.'U Jift-iiij; xi vui iucu piupeious Lorr.cs, despite the fact that General Vein llindensberg's strong "army is bet wcvn "them and the advancing Ki:s?ians. A significant message from Petro rr.d announces that the Russians may defer invasion of Germany un til her ir;ip? ion toward the Bosphor7 us accomplished. ' T!;is mission includes the com plete nibjccti.on of "Austria-Hungary as veil as .the invasion of Turkey. TLe I'r:sians, therefore, ma; be ccn ttrt t hold their present position alor,j the German border while mak ing rji- aggressive warfare in the soir-t1: and east. Persistent reports continue to reach Lor.ren that the Germans are' send in? l eavy re-inforcements to s the v.eKtrn line. News to the effect that the Germans are preparing a retreat through Belgium is also arriving. The experts, however, place .more eredcr.ee in the report iof re-inforcements, and the coming week is" looked fonvard to asone of the- most .cru cial of the war. . ' , t, . The Cassock raids across the Ger man border continue. Berlin now admits that the Russians are well be yond the river Warthe. The Rus sian advance has been made over bad roads at the amazing rate of four teen miles daily, and the German re treat has now passed Czenstochowa without stopping. The . Russian line is well back of. the Warthe and Czenstochowa and Kalisz. Another Petrograd report Btates that Ccenstochowa is still held as the last German position in Russia, but that this is regarded , as "untenable. The latest Paris official communi cation states that the invaders' are concentrating activities about Ypres without as yet showing results. The Allies are reported holding their own everywhere on the ' Aisne, while to the northwest o Soissons they have reached a new position on the Zer Seny plateau. An official announcement given out rt Berlin declares that advances have ot been made in the Argonne, but that there is nothing new along the remainder of thhe battle front.

H TTTTJTJTMrmri-irt-r, PREACHED YESTERDAY Central Church Congregation Hears President of Greensboro College For Women. f.v-Fr th Son of ma as a man taking afar journey, who left his house and gave to his servants, and Tl? maa hi3 work' ani command ed the porter to watch." - This, the 34th verse of the thir teenth chapter of St. Mark, was the subject of a thoughtful and inspiring sermon by Rev. Dr. S. B. Turrcntine" president of Greensboro College for Women, at Central Methodist Church yesterday morning. Picturing one standing" in the great mountainous section, where 'tis said nature's dividing line is drawn so closely that the varying fall of a rain drop , determines its destiny either to the Mississippi or the At lantic, Dr. Turrcntine declared, that the destiny of human Jives were of ten determined by such narrow margins. And, following this illus trative introduction, he spoke of relfhood fcr the purpose of acheiv ing some definite objective, and then to a service of sacrificial love for others. Of the fundamentals -for such a life, Dr. Turrentine paramounted preparation. He deplored the ten dency in this age of feverish activity to the adoption of the short cuts for life's. work and declared that educa tion should consist of light as well as living. Of the dual agencies of education, personality and text books he declared the former the domi nant force and bore witness of a teacher that was baptismal inspira tion of righteousness. "The Life Work, Dr. Turrcntine said, kuouiu ue cnoFcn m acora witn tne 1 111 nxiurai laciuucs or. inc inaivmuai. - i. 1 M.' ' A ll T 1 1 Hie immaturitv of vouth, he mdi cated, was sometimes the 'cause of the misfits in the lines of human en deavor, but he said that there was cultuerc. could come to the aid .of youth, as it is necessary to know life to find one's proper sphere. An cestry and familiar pride, he, termed dangerous . criterions :t select - life's work, as it does not follow the son will achieve, success in some field of human activity by virtue of the fact that his father attained eminence there. The , individual alone should make such a selection. For, in the last analysis, it -must be settled by the individual. Parents, teachers and friends may . be helpful but at last the individual must listen to the still small voic that calls in solitude. And, no person, he said, was ready for life's work unless prepared to; listen to the divine voice. Alter a life had become adjusted he emphas m 1 ized the-necessity of it being gov-' nA"e communuy nave erned by a great motive that point-. filled. several bxes of elothing and ed to a definite objective in order to . provsio to be shipped to the suf .... . . r .. 1 Tfirlnp, RIe'iRnq. The hows will he reach its best fulfillment. Motive, he defined', a3 energized thought. " u ; , ' Turning from the development of selfhood, whieh he said no life could j bo of service without, lr lurren- tine spoke of obligations the mdivid- ual owed society, hoMing not ithe, idea that the world owed the individ- ual a living but that for every guar- antee of aid the individual should recognize and assume an ooiigauon.n this way and is ready show any of service Right, service and re- j how . gd f the small sum ward the triple-allianced as the out' come of the life of the individual who performed such a service. Quoting Dr. Horace Mann that "no position in life is undignified where dutv calls," Dr. Turrentine paid a high tribute to the dignity of service, but declared that for it to be of the highest it must be service vcith a vision above the dollar mark. It should be a life of vision and con- .flf:n n- vision combined with rev nA n Avotional soirit of sa erantc mm crificial love, which is the keynote ot stewardship. The Ben Wilhelm Case Compro mised. China Grove Record. Rn Wilhelm. of Grace Church, who has been absent for two weeks went to Salisbury and surrendered to the sheriff. His sons, wno leic u their father, are now at home, there being no charge against them. The Ben Wilhelm case has been called off on account of a compromise being made and ne ana ms asrreeing to live . separately hereafter. It seems, from what we can learn, that every time Wilhelm wouldbe La nnrrv with his wife and abuse her, she would go and swear - out a tarVant for him, at least thi J has occured twice. Mr. WUhelm claims there was no justification for his ar rests, but quite aT number of folks think otherwise.

It is not often, says Mr. Parker, that a boy runs away from the school, especially after he has been there a few weeks. There is a sen timent among the majority of the boys against such conduct, and the hardest thing for a boy to undergo who has been returned to the home after having run away is the cen sure, or the scorn, with which the other boys treat him.
