LoIdou Cable. -The French and British to -4a y again la,unched a gen- eral attack on the eight -mile front trom Pozieres to the Somme, the sec- ond. in three •dam As a. result the British report turther iniPortent gains beyond, tile German second line to- wards Guillemont and Ginchy, while the Ennc1t have ce.eturee practically all et the village et Maurepas, and are in complete control of the village eemetery, More thau 400 Commas were taken prisoners. Meanwelle, continuing their str.aa eoullter-offenelve northeast of ar- dun, the French, completmg to et eommand of the village et leisury, have preesed home their attavee ea the Thiaumont-Fleury front, tee:tar- ing two strong field forts uorteeest of the former point. About 100 pris- oners and three machine guns were taken in this fighting. The action today followed on the heels of a seriee of fierce night at- tacks by the French all along the line from the river as far as the Haede- eourt salient. Meanwhile in simul- taneous attacks the British succeed- ed in pressing back still further the German front before the Martinpuich ridge. In this sector the Germans admit evacuating a trench, which l'ad been destroyed by gunfire, but state they took up positions immediately ei the rear. On the front held by the Feench the fighting was especially hoevy around Maurepas and along the Hell road from that village to Clerv. 'The Germans indulged in frequent etreeg counter-attacks in their efforts to hold General Foch's troops in clink. The afternoon attack of the Frenoh was launched along the line of this night fighting. The midnight com- munique from Paris announces that the French have been able to further extend their positions east of the Maurepas-Clery road, in additien, to the advances in the village itself. ON VERDUN FRONT. The fighting on the Verdun front is the most important in weeks. The French have launched a general movement along the entire • north- eastern front from Thlaument as far as the region of Fort Vaux, Their reports indteate that in eighteen hours et almost continuous fighting they have been elleceSsful all along this line. • Tee Germans have been driven ein tirely from the site of the village of Fleury and are now fighting bitterly to hold their positions in the east- ern outskirts. The two redeubts cap - tared north-east of Thiaumont were powerful forts, conatruoted to support this sector of the Teuton front, while Paris also claims progress has been made to the northward along the road to Fort 'Vaux, the ruined stronghold where the Germans have lied un- conteeted possession for months. • BRITISH RIePORT, London Cable.-Priday's War Of- flen statement from headquarters in lerence reads: - "Fighting took place this afterpoon (Friday). over the wirole front- from Pozieres to the Somme. As a result we captured several strong enernY positions and gained ground toward Ginchy and Guillemont, taking more than 200 prisoners during the day. "On our right the French aeso made progress, "Yesterday a German aeroplane was brought down aflame in our trenches after an atracombat, and a• second maxillae by our anti-aircraft guns. Enemy billets have been sue- Cessfully bombed at various places by ()lir aircraft." FRENCH REPORT. Paris Cable, -Fraley night's War Office statement reads: "North of the Somme an attack lirected by our troops against that eart 01 Maurepas still occupied by the Germans permitted us to capture, in Ole course of a brilliant attack, a or,1 iderable portion of the viEage, OA well as the cemetery, situated to the south-east. We took 200 unwound- ed prisoners. "Between Maurepas and the Somme we extended our positions east of the Meurepas-Clary road. "Op the right bank of the Meuse we followed up our offensive aetion driving the enemy from two fortified redoubts north-east of the Thiamont field work.

Paul's prospects (vs, 22-27). 22. bound in the spirit -The apostle felt an inward conviction or constraint to ge to Jerusalem. His own 'epirit was urging him on. not knowing the things that shall befall me -The future had not been definitely revealed to him Judging from his experience in ela apostleship, he could not expect that he would be vaeleomed everywhere with open arms, He knew that there was still an offence connected with cress of Christ. He had no thought of being other than a strong and fearless defender of the gospel of Jesus Christ, whatever might be the results to him. 23. save that the Holy Ghost withesseth-The Spirit had revealed to Paul the general fact that he would be continuously subjected to persecu- tion, bonds and afflictions abide me- ta his work as a minister of Jesus Christ Paul antagonized Judaism on the one hand and paganism on the other, and from both sources Proceed; ed bitter persecution against hina, The Holy Spirit revealed to ban that wher- ever he should labor in the future, there woud be distresses, and he would be in the bonds of the gospel's eeete 24. none of these things move nie-Neither the prospect of the perse- cution front teweeurces nor the feet that he wmilt1 be a prisoner in the hands of the enemies of the Cross would keep him back from the minis- try which had been eatrusted to him. neither eount I my life dear unto my- self -Paul's only colleens for his lite was that he might complete the Work let:which he had been divInely Teepossessed the true martyr spirit. tie• had Such an intense love for God and fe,r humanity that he was ready to lay clown his life in their Service.

Where was Miletus? To whom Was this address given? In what respects had Paul been faithful? To whom were the eldere to take heed? What is meant by "wolves"? What other damage threatened them? flow had Paul atheism unselfishness? Des- cribe the parting scene. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. The power of example (v. 18). Deeds louder than worde, Emerge= said, "What you are spealce so loudly that I cannot hear you say what you are." The eubject matter of much ot the Preaching of our day is "Heed what t tell you." Paul's theme was, "Follow my example." The story Is told ot as Euglish clergyman that he called for an offering from his congregation for the India famine fund. he offering receiyed received amounted to six pounds. The minieter was Indignant as the people were abundantly able to pay much more. He announced he would preach cc the eubiect the fol- lowing Sabbath and take another of- fering. He laid on the truth concern- ing liberality with all his might. At the ciao of the sermon heased,."You all know my family" -he had eleven children, all young --"and meet of you know the amount ot my locome.. I shall give ten pounds. We shall see what you give,' The second collection was not six pounds, but ninety. A dauntless spirit (v. 22.) ,A1. - though a Roman Catholic, Frame's Xavier was possessed with a passion for souls. Concerning the difficulties end dangers of a missionary's life he said, "If those islands had scentee woods, and mines of gold, Christiana would have courage enough to go thither, nor would all the 'perils in the world prevent them. They are dastardly, and alarmed because there are only the souls of men to be saved. But this I dare to say, that whatever form of torture or ot death awaits me, I am ready to suffer it ten thou - nand times for the salvation ot a sin- gle soul." The finished course (v. 24.) "I have tinished my course" (2 Tim, 4:7). The lever that operted Paul's life was al- ways locked in the notch marked "high". His eye was ever on the goel. The course was already blazed clear through to the end. It was the one who finished at the top who was to be rewarded. So, what were such petty things as bonds, imprison. ments and afflictions? Forward was the battle -cry. One writer has said, "There is nothing to be done unless we are contented to live en the stretch. Easy going lives are always I contemptible lives." Tee finished course means that none of these things have moved us. We have been faithful unto the end. As you can not stop the current of a river with a straw, so you can not prevent a saint like Paul from finishing at the tape. Neither all the apples from the gar- den of Hesperides nor the fiercest op- teosition of Satan will arrest Win. The parting benediction (Golden Text). Dr. Maclaren suggests that a literal reading of his would be, "I lay you down. beside God." What a beautiful thought! And the best part of it is that when thus commended to God, we are safe. A heathen asked a Jew how he and his eountrymen could hope for any safety, ''because every one of you is a silly sheep com- passed by fifty wolves." "True," said the Jew," "but we are kept by a Shepherd that can kill all of these wolves when he pleases." "Now the God of peace, that brought again sbepherd of the sheep, through the blood -of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every work to do his will, working in yen that which is, wellpleasing in his. sight, through Jesus Christ; to 'whom be glory for ever and ever." G.W.G. TURKS DRIVE ON SUEZ COSTLY Over 91000 Men Were Put Out of Action in Raid Which Was Fully One -Half the FOrce. London Cable, -de the recent operations strouhd Katie, east of the Suez Canal the losses sustained by tile Turkish force were estimated et about 9,000 men, including prisoners, virtually one-half the toree, accord- ing to a, further report on the Egypt- ian operations given out by the War Office title afternoon. The report says: "The pursuit of the enemy was nuantained until the 12th, and it is now possible to Raga a more accurate idea, of the, enemy's strength and losses. The eftenly force amounted to probably 18,000 11101.

London Cable. -Once again the (=Lathan newspaper representatives are privileged to visit the Canadian portion or the front. The eyes of the world at large, of course, bave lately heen more closely directed to larger operations titan the Canadian sector, nevertheless, when one is enabled to e•.0 along the Canadian tine to see and hear for oneself wbet is being done there one realizes immediately how the Canadian forces, though not onw direotly in the limelight, are helping to bring seccesa tO the allied arms as surely as the brave fellows on the Somme, While we have been here there has been an attack fin the Can- adiali trenches completely beaten off, Our bombers more than once have Made raids against the Germans by night, laying about them right and left with their deadly missiles during their brief stay, and even bringing back sorne Germans at the Point of the bayonet across No Man's Land. As ordinary daily routine there eas also been the never -ceasing artillery, the toll of the sniper and the indis- criminate but constant rifle fire all night by the enemy. When oue re- members these things, and still more seee them in operation, one cannot wonder that the Canadian casualty lists bear many names, eyen when what is called real hard fighting seems to be proceeding at another portion of the front. "The Bache le Just as vicious here as ever," declar- ed a Brigadier in itis dugout over breakfast. Not many hours after we had to experience one form of this viciousness. 11 was not expected, for when the artillery bombardment has been unduly prolonged and Intense Our fellows are pretty certain that the blue -coated infantrymen will soon attempt to follow. He came across during a broiling forenoon to our line held by battalions which got a grilling a couple of months ago. Probably the Gerhians knew very well what battalions were against him. He never could have meant real business. though the deadly Lewis gun met him more than half way, met hint in fact as soon as he started his trip of a few hundred yards, which in many cases ended in leas than tweeter. At any rate there were some of him who got rignt into the trenches of the Canadians. The fight lasted a couple of hours or more in the blazing sun, amidst mounds of powdery dust and lengths of barbed wire. Then the Germans gave up sending men aeross to be killed off, The Canadians, It need hardly be said, did not get off any- thing like scot-free, but the front line remained as it had been, except for the ruin created by artillery, which will already have been made right again. GERMAN MORALE STRONG. Two years of war makes such an incident as the foregoing a compare- eively trifling. matter toe all, except those who take part in it, and even they take it as a matter of course which has occurred before and will of a certainty occur again. The Carman will never win war with such enter- prises, and he knows it as well as anyone, but sttc,h an encounter does show that the German soldier individualty is still full or fight, and every Canadian to whom I have spoken here gives the enemy credit for being so. "I have never yet seen the slightest weakening in the German »aerate," declared a General to me. The same opinion was expressed by other critics as com- petent. Further than this, the Ger- man artillery before the Canadians shows not the least sign of weaken- ing. Amongst the Canadian command the question which nearly all invar- iably asked me when talking of af- fairs in Britain and Canada, was how the folk at honae regarded the starting of the British offensive. Stieh ques- tioners were glad to hear that the folk at home were entirely optimistic, but were also anxious that such folk should not look upon the present state of affairs as heralding the early close of the business. I heard many opinions concerning when the war will end, but not one in the Way of preditting a very early termination. POE BEHIND IN TRENCH RAIDS. Tile German soldier may be as ready as ever to attack in, a set en- terprise on orthodox tines, but dur- ing this visit to the Canadian front I have received indtsputable evidence that it is impossible for him to com- pete with our chaps in suet' matters as bombing excursions. r was aeseured that never once has Fritz made swat an excursion upon the Canadian lines, while on the other bahd they are a matter of almost niethely oecerrenco with the Canadians. General opinion regards them as the most efficaclotte method of keeping the Gerillati in a h.ealthy State of tunpiness. Such tee enterprise was carried out under erty own eyes the other night. Our boys were creeping stealthily out of the trench on to No Man's Land bearing amongst theln a goodly number of bombs, each with mechanism at; letricate as an alarm. clock. For the Canadians it is a ootnparatiVely Men Mg matter to go out oa No Mares Land nowadays, for it is commanded by us as completely as the seas are emrinianded by the British navy.

Unfortunately, tido kind et warfare naturally enough le productive of casualties to the attaeltere. I learn that an officer who took part in this raid Will lose his leg. Three Mon were killed. Their bodies were brought back, which in itaelf is a great feat, considering that they had to be inouget across No Man's Land under the machine gun fire of the enerrlY, 'tormented TV nightly enterprisein whieli he cannot retaliate.

The Canadian Headquarters knows every turn of the German trench position, every gun loe cation, every bivouac. Photographs taken from aeroplanes are here by the score. They look like photos of hon- eycombs with 'veins running through them. The cells of the honeycomb are shell holes, the veins are the lines of the Canadian and enemy trenches. Ono night I passed tlirOugh Maple Copse and Sanctuary Wood, weere really heavy fighting took place two Menthe ago, Many of our poor chaps are lying there simply buried by the crashing down upon them of our trenches wrecked by artillery fire. Stumps and roots and great mounds of earth with timber and Iron stick - Ing out now stand for the substantial line of -fortificatione which once ran through Sanctuary Wood. GEN'ERAL MERCER'S END. I heard the story of General Mer- cer. ele, was passing along these trenches just before the great attack. Turning a corner he met a man, who instantly sprang to attention. An ever -watchful sniper made him pay the full penalty for his respect, for he fell with a bullet through his brain at the feet of Mercer. Eyewitnesses who told me this ecitled that Mercer was so affected that he wept. Everybody out here speaks of him with tender regret, which will certainly surprise nobody who ever knew him. The Colonel with whom I was con- versing' made an interesting sugges- tion regarding Maple Copse and Sanctuary Wood. The land about this part may be purchased for a couple of hundred dollars an acre, "Would it not be appropriate." said the Colonel. "for Canada to purchase this quarter pvhere so many of her soldiers lie in -unknown graves?" The idea, et any rate, is worth bearing in mind. General Turner was anxious to give Canada his opinion of the French Canadian battalions. He says no finer natural soldiers ever fought for the Empire. "There are some people who speculate what might happen if trouble arose between the French and other Cinadiansee he said. "It would be a terrible thing for the other parts of Canada:, I imagine they would have Ito easy job In dealing in their owe way with such men as are now serving with me." I will leave it at this, and merely add that General Turner was very emphatic on this. .uI(1151151 , TORONTO MARKETS, VARAIIMS' Af4.1m4T.
