Tilere was a great contrast betweea Solonion'a temple and the ruins which surrounded them; between the glorioue past of Israel and the (Mineralized condition of the nation as it appeared after the captivity; between the flour - letting condition of the land and the proepect It presented when a remnant or people were endeavoring to restore It to its former fruitfulness. Those who remembered the former days and the glory of the first temple amd con- sidered bow far the second one waa likely to be inferior to it, wept witb loud voices. When those who knest only the sorrow of having no temple at all saw the foundation laid, they praised the Lord with shouts of joy. Though each expressed himself accord. ing to his sentiment, there was no dis. agreement, no retarding of the work. H. The prospect e national peace, To the opened vision of God' e prophet it was revealed that the glory of the latter Melee should be greater than the former. The people stood face to face with the work they had undertalt. en. He defficultiee were before them. They felt their inability to rise to the demands of the great occasion. They taced great obstacles through the op- pression of their enemies. There 'was a faithful ministry In the midst of the people. The prophet e Haggai and Ze- ohariah urged them to remember God'a special commission to them In that he had brought them out of cap- tivity to da that special work. They vvere ae-eured that his blessing muet certainly crown their fidelity with success. They inspired the people with their own earnest spirit. The building of the temple was a visible and abid- ing testimony to their faith in the existence and power of the God of heaven. The temple was a testimony to the heathen notions and to all peo. ple of the svorehip and eacrifice due to Jehovah from Ms people Israel, The completion of the temple was a proof in itself that the "fierceness of God's anger" bad been turned away and that He would again show mercy to His people. The wisdom of the lead - ere was. evident in their preeoing for- ward in the work, taking advantage of every favorable eircumetance. They did not relax their efforts while wait- ing for a reply from Dariue. Patriot. ism, vviedom and piety were manifest- ed in their plane. The king's decree and the prophette message together were like wings to their work. From the time of the arrival of the decree of Darius they looked upon the com- pletion of the temple as 01113' a ques- tion of time, and so at last regarded their condition of captivity as being practically at au end. Opposition to their cause was overruled for good. It brought the necessitiee occasioned by the neglect ot the decree ef Cynics un- der the notice of Darius who regarded the Jewish nation with special favor so that the work was carried through without intermission after it was re. sinned. There was rejoicing over the finished work. It wad the visible tri- unioh of their faith and bope. They were thrilled with entinielaetic joy as they took poseession of the new temple. With it they began a new life. At the dedication the ancient order of service ware restored. T.R.A. _ AVIATORS BUSY DESPITE STORM British Fliers Brave Ele- ments to Aid Drive. Many Attacks Upon Moving Troops. London, Oct. 14. -The rollowing War Office statement concerning evi. alien activities was issued last night: "Yesterday the weather could not have been less favorable for the co- operation of our aeroplanes with our infantry in their attack. Nevertheless, our machines went out until four o'clock In the afternoon, both during the rain and in the elear intervals. With great difficulty they succeeded in locating the troop movements of the enemy, and the positions of a greatmany hostile batteries, and re- ported tneir observations to our artil- lery In addition to this work, more than 10,000 rounds Were fired by our ahmen, Oath machine guns ttt hostile infantry in trenches and shell holes en the roads. Parties of mounted troops and the convoys of hostile trats-ports also were engaged from low altitudes, causing- many casual- ties in the enemy and great confusion In their ranks. "Only a few German machines were encountered, presumably ort account of the bad weather, and little fighting took place In the air, Four enemy aeroplanes Were brought down and five others Were driven down out of control.

Cut thelhe From His Sub. Base Around Zeebrugge. London, Oct 14, -The heavy rain in Flanders Ilea turned the plains Into euch a sea of mud that neither of the hostile armies seems able to move. Whetlaer the weather and the colon - non or the ground were the sole rett- eons which impelled the Germans to refrain from meeting the British ad- vance with speedy counter-attack, however, is considered doubtful in view or the many corroborative re- ports of the lowered state of the Ger- man army morale. Field Marshal tlaig, In any event, has been left :in undisputed possession of the valueble ground won on Friday, whicla the Gorman statement admits was teree- quarteys of a mile in depth at pointe. The Germans put in an appearance north of Poelcapelle and west ot Becelaere, on the extreme right and left ends of the new Britiah battle - line, but they showed closer° to fight, and quickly retreated when the nritish artillery opened on them. The infantry on both sides rested to -day, but there was much artillery activity. According to the official re- port the total number or erieenors captured by the British on Friday was 1'13, including 41 officers. It is more than ever apperent that ilaig'e aim is to clear the Clemens from the Belgian coast. Two weeks ago I stated that he had two strings tc his bow, being able to move soutn to relieve Lille or by striking north to attack the submarine and aero- plane bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge. The first battle of Meats road still let his objective doubtful, but a week ago it had become evident to military men here, as staine in my despatch, that the drive would be toward the uorth-east, with Routers as the im- mediate aim, and that the next push would come along the Ypres-Thour- eut DRIVE TOWARD THE COAST. • This is exactly whet has happened. Neglecting the south-eastern serninn of his line, General Haig has struck out twice within 11 wee,k aloug the Glieluvelt-Passchendaele ridge and toward the Roulers-Ostend railroad, on the flret occasion rolling back the Germans with ease, taking thousautle el' prisoners and ' inflicting on the enemy serious leases in their counter- attacks, whittle beearne more and more feeble as the British advanee • continued. The second et the British attacks, which took place Friday, was some- what of a surprise to the public in that it was not expected so soon, con- sidering, the rainy weather that has Prevailed and the water -soaked con- dition of the ground. RaM halted this attack after a few hours, but the British had added another half mile tc their gain awl taken 1,000 prison - cis before they stopped. The fact that the move was undertaken at all and was begun as soon as the rain of Thursdaynight ceased and the wea- ther showed signs of clearing is taken here as a sign that there will be no let-up in the Britieh drive. lts renewal is expected this week. FRENCH CO-OPERATE. - The French, who hold the seetion of the lino as far as the Belgian front along the Yser Canal, co-operated by a forward dash on the British left, which brought them to the forest cf Doutholst, preventing any flanking attack on the British front from tile north. The Belgians, too, did efficient work with their long range artillery, shelling the rear or the German linen as they retreated before the French between Mangelaere and Draiebanle toward Houtholst wood. Their heavy gun emplacements were west of the eanal, about four miles away. The fir- ing across this waterway on both sides has become much more active recent- ly all the way from Nienport and Ra.mscapelle on the north to the Dix - :nude bend and Nieuca.ppelle on the. eouth. These movements indicate a Ian attack from the south on the German rositions along the Belgian coast. The trend of both French and Britisa armies is north and northeast. The latter are within four and it quarter miles of Routers, while the former are five and a half miles trom Dixmude, which is drily eleveo miles from the sea, As the campaign hag shaped itse.t thus far, it appears to be the task set for themeelves by the British to cut the Lillentstend Railroad somewhere around Routers, while the French advancing on their left 'not only sale - guard the British flank, but directly meoace Ostend and Zeebrugge from the south. ZEEliatJGGE THE OBJECTIVE. There is a large aerodrome at Os- tend, while Zeebrugge is the principal eubmarine base, The Belgian coast waters are quite shallow, less time 15 tee deep at the French frontier and gradually increasing to 45 Met at the. Dutch end of the coast line. In front of zeebrugge the depth is about 10 feet. A depth of 30 feet is not reaehed until abopt 15 miles out to sea, so shelviog la the beAeli in this locality, duo to the- gradual elevation of the sea bed. Bruges, or Brugge (bridge) in Flemieh, ten mites from the coast, was a Seaport an late as 1490. Through the flat ground reeovered from the sea the Belgiane built a fine canal to the "Sea Bruges," or Zeebrugge, and there cetistructed one of the strongeet breakwaters ia the World, built of steel mad concrete, jutting otit 0, thou. sand feet and felting an excellent though small, harbor. Owing to this shallow water, battleshipe can only botnbard et long range, while even destroyers went(' find it Oifficult to attack, especielly as the ocean bed Is covered With nuniernus sandbanks.

SUBMARINES VI/LNIiiltABLE imtr It is in this shallow bolt, extending tom 10 to 15 miles out to Sea, but narrowing toward Dutch waters, that submarines can be most successfully Attacked. Bombs have been •dropped on the Zeebrugge brealtwater, anti he upper Part has beee hit and eome- witat damaged, but not to an extent that appreciably affectits usefulness, ticeause, although manufactured, it Is practically a solid rock rising from the bottom of the sea. Behiud this wall the submarines are comparatively safe, but the Germans have so MartY anti-aircraft guns mounted nearby that attacks from abon are almoet freitless. They have beeu attempted, but have invariably been repulsed be- fore any great damage has been done. A combined attack by air, sea and land is now advocated by many mill. tary men hero as the best way to end the submarine menace from this quarter. With battleships bombard- ing- with their heaviest naval guns, destroyers shelling the land works with lighter pieces and aeroplanes dropping bombe from the skies, all co-operating, with the British and French cutting off their supply lines on the south, and Eiritish and Belgians closing in from the west, it is certain the Germans would be obliged speedily to evacuate the coast. Even a landing would be pcesible with light -draught monitors that could navigate in ten feet of water, For such an enterprise American naval aid would be most welcome. Such are the views of naval men here, but, of course, the Admiralty is giving no hint of its intentions. In any case, the effect of General Haig's operations south of the base and less than 20 miles away must be to force a German retirement from the coast which now seems likely before New Year's. VON TIRPITZ. Hedges On Time for Starv- ing. Britain. Amsterdam, Oct. 13. --Admiral von Tirpitz, former Minister of the German Imperial Navy, interviewed by the Brunskick Landes Zeitung, is quoted as saying: "We can continue confidently to ex- pect a final triumph over England so long as we continue to sink vessels reciter than she Can construct them. A submarine war success cannot be ex- pected immediately, however, but if we pursue our aim firmly we shall find, after some months, that our position for negotiations wita England will be quite different." "England desires negotiatioa now while her poeition is comparatively favorable. The decisive factors are the shipping losses suffered by the Entente, ana by neutrals who expose themselves to our U-boat war, "No definite time can be fixed for 0111' success. As regards raw mater. lals, our position to -day is stronger than that of France or Italy, How far England will be able to make ber supplies last cannot be predicted. "We are now at the fateful hour of our existence. Germany cannot main tain her position as a world power against England unless her position is founded on might." - SELF AT FAULT.

HUNS MURDER RED CROSS MEN Violations Are Continual On Flanders Front. British Officer Daringly Tongue -Lashes Brutes. London, Oct. 14. -Perry Robinson, In a despatch front British headquar ters dated Sunday', again deals with the violation of the Red Cross by the Germans on the battle front. Hi writes: "In themud and wilderness where -the armies now confront each other there are many German dead and wounded out in front of our lines. German stretcher parties are con- tinually at work retrieving the latter. They come close to our posts and never by any chance are molested. When they come close to our line our men more than once have seen them hit by German shells. Our stretcher parties are also moving about, but so far from being respected, it is a fact tht in some units the proportion of casualtiee among stretcher-bearers hee been higher than among the infantry fighting on the line. Some ot these casualties are, of course, caused acci- dentally by shell -fire, but A much greater number result from deliberate sniping by Germans, who know well whom they are shooting. Two days ago a stretcher party was at work when German snipers deliber- ately shot three out of the four mem- bers, killing each one. The range was short_ A British officer in a shell hole jumped from the hole, seized the Red Cross flag, and waving it conspicu- ously, marched straight to where the nnipers were hiding. He floundered le the mud till close to the German posi tion. The Germans, presumably out of euriositte held their lire. Our off! cer spoke German, and well 'welled those Germans as they were rarely talked to before, pointing to the Ger- man stretcher parties moving abou, umnolcated, Germans listened in sit, ence. When the officer had finished he floundered back, tossed away the nag and resumed his place in the shell. hole. 'I do not think the British and the world in general ever understood how completely the German theory of the Red Cross differs from that of all civilized -.nations. All international Red Cross workers in neutral coun- tries are aware that the German Red Crose is not an organization. of mercy, but as much a party of the Gentian military machine as the artillery'. "You know how here the Germans have been purposely bombing hos: pitals and torpedoeing hospital ships. Unquestionably this allows a deliber- ate poliey which 1 s intelligible, the Met being that the Germans know what the Red Cross means to them, and argue in attacking our Red Cross they are striking a legitimate military object. It is mere truth that the German people and army au- thorities never had and have not new such a conception of the Red Cross as we and other peoples. The sad- dest thing is that after the war the Red Cross societies of other negates can never treat the Germao organize. tion again as equal, or admit it to representative conventione as menn ber of the seine sisterhood Of mercy." • NOT FOR BRITAIN Hoineland Cannot Take Our Potatoes This Year.
