Taketh wan him Peter and James and
John -These three were the inner cir-
cle of Christ's dtsciples. They were
near him because of their faith, devo-
tion and ere:ability to enter into deep
syrapathy with him. They lied been
with hint on the mount of transfig-
uration and in the room where he had
raised the dead to life. They seemed
to understand him better than did the
others, and this was a time when his
human nature craved conmanionshile

cates both great amazement and a
failure to grasp the nature of the
new feelings that possessed him.
Heavy -,-"Sore troubled." -R. V. The
root idea of the word is that of beteg
away from home. eTruly in respect
to his 'lumen naeure our Lord was far
from home, far from his native skies,
and the word may be taken to de-
scribe the awfulness of his isolation,
unsupported by a particle of human
sympathy- a troubled, restless state,
accompanied by the keenest mental
distress." -Cana. Bib. 34. Exceeding
sorrowful unto death -This was not
physical suffering; it was anguish of
Bout. It was so severe that it would
have resulted in death had it continu-
ed long. Tarry ye here, and watch. -
Jesus knew that the three disciples
whom he addressed loved him, even
.though they were not strong, and he
desired that they ehould be near him.

down and pressed his forehead to' the

Jesus was liummi as well at
and he poured out hie vorrelvfel and
oppressed soul in prayer. "We are
bere in full view of the,. deepest Mys-
tery of our faith -the two natures in

Litman nature of Jesus appealed to the
Father that, if there was any way to
aceomplish man's redemption without
the agonies of that and the succeeding
hours, it ntight be so done. 36. Abbe.

A London Cable says: -The of-

eye -witness' narrative of operations
in France, supplementing that or oc-

"WedeeMlaY, the 30th of September,

in the grantee development of the sit-
uation, anti was distinguished by no
activity beyond slight attacks by the
enemy. There was also artillery fire
at intervals. One of our airmen suc-
ceeded in dropping nine bombs, Sohlo
of Which fell on the enemy's rolling
stoek, collected on the railway near
Laene. Some of the enemy's front
trenches were found empty at night,
but nothing much can be deducted
from this fact, for they are frequently
evacuated in this way, no doubt to
Drevent the men in the bace lines
from firing on their comrades in front
of them.
"Thursday, Oct. ist, was a most
perfect autumn day, and the most
Peaceful tame the two forces became
engaged on the Aisne. There was.
only desultory gun fire, as targets of-
fered. During the night the enemy
made a few new trenches, and a
French aviator dropped one bomb on
the railway station and three bombs
on the troops massed near it.
"The weather on Friday, the see- ,
ond, was very misty in the early
lours, and it continued hazy until late
n the afternoon, became -thicker
again at night. The Germans wore
triven out of a mill, which they had
occupied as an advance post, their
guns and machine guns, which sup-
orted it, being knocked out one by
one by well -directed artillery fire
rom a flank. During the night they
made the usual two attacks on the
ustomary spot in our lines, and as on
revious occasions, were repulsed
wo et their trenches were captured
nd filled in. Our loss was Mx men
voAto the
the 21st of September the air

our times the. circuit of the worla,

"There are many points connected

wing description was given by a
attalion commander, who has been at

ostilities, and has tong& both in the
pen and behind entrenchments. It
lust, however, be borne in mind that
t only represents the experiences of
-particular unit. It deals with the
ctics of the. enemy's infantry:

ut heads of valleys and ravines and

Meet's are skilled in leading keeps

mde in a series of lines,- with the

CHRIS HAVE
IN ADONDICE
Hold Vastly More Prisoners Than
the Allies,
And Which They Will Use As
Hostages,
London Cable -Hilaire .BelIoc, 'a
well-known military writer, points out
that there is a factor in the issues of
this war which will be of Consider-
able importance unless large factions
of t -e German threes should be envel-
oped and surrender in the course. of
tt, This factor is the factor of the
Prisoners now in German hands
It is ono of the most remarkable
thing; about this rapid retirement
of the first German army and part
of the second upon the line of Sots -
sons -Rheims in September that it
lost so few men. We .have not yet the
full tale; but in the first four days
the recorde sent in did not account
the 7,000 prisoners.
'Well, the figures of French prison-
ers in Germany on thia same list
.come to nearly 1,700 officers and
nearly 87,000 men. And this does
not include the prisoners from Mau-
beauge, in the fall of which the Ger-
manlrolaimed the very large total of
40,00 prisoners.
In this last item there probably is
exaggeration. But even if you halve
it, it brings the total number of
French prisoners for Germany at the
present moment to well over 100,000.
If considerable bodies of Germans
are ultimately rounded up, if there
are general surrenders due to the cut-
ting off of communications, the allies
will have an equal batch et prisoners
to set against this very large number,
It is conceivable, though improbable,
that an exchange might take place.
But if no such disasters overtake the
Germans for some time ,to come,
there will be a big preponderance of
this asset upon the German side, .
Put the matter as gently as yeti
liee, but acknowledge that the Prus-
sian theory of war will regard these
mon as hostages -that is at onee the
strength and weakness of what is
called the "Iorederician tradition" -
and the conclusion is that the allies
must wholly disregard all threats and
all bargains connected:with this great
body of prisoners; It is the Freitch
policy to disregard that very grave
sentimental weapon in the hands ot
the enemy. They must be prepared
for very bitter saceifice unless cor-
responding numbers of the enemy fall
into•the others hands.

look in at Durazzo on the way up, but
we were late. We increased to full
speed, ,but the Austrians sighted us
coming from the southward, and at
once steamed north, The French
fleet were in such a position that as
the enemy were northward they rah
right into the arms of a huge fleet.
The Austrians were very inferior,
having only two small cruisers, four
destroyers and certain heavy • ships,
We opened fire. and the destroyers
sank immediately. The enemy's
cruisers returned the fire, but in
about three minutes both ships caught
fire, and were a burned mass. Sudden-
ly there was a huge mass of • dense,
black smoke, followed by an explos-
ion. The ships could be seen with
their bows at right angles- to the wat-
er. In less than a seeond both ships
sank with all hands. Cheers went

Ottawa eport-The financial state-

compared with the same period of
last year, while current expenditures

As was to be expected, the Septem-
ber revenue shows a, very considerable
decrease ,especially- in the customs
receipts. The total revenue for the
month was $9,953,093, a decrease. of
$6,296,165 as compared with $9,696,-
181 for September of last year, a de-
, crease of $4,051,309, or nrore than for-
ty per cent The decrease is, of
course, due to the practical cessation
of Jetports at Pacific and Atlantic
Ports. Imports from the United
States have, it is understood, shown
in many lines an increase rather than
a. decrease. For the six months the
total revenue has been $70,331,211, as
compared with $86,877„716 for the cor-
responding period of lest year. Cus-
toms revenue for the six months total-
led $41,906,668, a decrease of $16,947,-
