Sergeant,,}Pilot Guynemer, twenty- one years of age, of the French Fly- ing Corps, has just brought down his fifth German adversary and has been mentioned for his exploit in an offi cial communication. Previously he had been decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, the War Ci ese, and the Military Medal for other feats. M. Guynemer was a lad in college when the war began, and enlisted at once. Ile had never been in an aero- plane, but at the end of seven days e training he made his trial flight for a pilot's license. Six weeks' training usually is required, His work at the front began in April of last year. It was not until December 5 that he began to make his record by hunting German aero- planes, At that time he brought down, single-handed, a large German biplane, Sergeant Guynemer flies alone, as did Garros and Pegoud, but instead. of a monoplane he uses a great bi- plane, on which be makes ninety miles, an hour, He accounted for four, machines in nine days. Guynemer is of Scottish extraction. In Decemberthe Sergeant fought a speetemular duel directly -above the Preach lines, with his, comrades in arms cheering him enthusiastically below. He was engaged with one of I the-famoue Fokker aeroplanes,and though there were two Men :'aboard the Fokker he. manoeuvred skilfultl, until he brought his gun In range. At a distance of fifteen yards he de- livered a mortal blow.. "The Old Charles" is the name given to the biplane which Sergeant Guynemer manipulates; It is armed with a weapon which it is net per- Mitted to describe. He handle's it with remarkable facility and deadly precision, at the same time manoeuv- ring his aeroplane with great skill. Between the times of • bis fourth and fifth successful duels be had a narrow escape in a fight with a Fok- ker. At the moment of firing, at a distance of thirty yards, his gun be- came unusable, the lubricating oil having frozen. He attempted a quick turn but, carried on by the momen- tum, struck the German machine wtth his upper plane and began to descend abruptly. After falling very rapidly for five hundred yards the bi- plane righted itself. Guynemer re- turned to the headquarters of his flotilla, but had missed his fifth 'ma- chine, whicb he accounted for only a few clays later. His antagonist went to earth.

I have it stili. It was my first hit, and so I have kept it as a souvenir." Thus wrote an officer from Flanders some time ago, and the dant is tvni ant nr a+'Haw occasions when men have been saved from death or disablement by some object they were carrying about their per- son. Not very long ago, a private in the 4th East Yorkshire Regiment was saved from death by a cigarette -case which he was carrying in a pocket over his heart. The missile lodged in the inner cover of the case, and the cigarettes were badly damaged, but no other harm was done. A Lanca- shire soldier was also saved by a cigarette -tin and a penny in his breast pocket. Bishop Taylor Smith, speaking at Harrow School, told bow a captain in the Coldstr•eams was wounded by a shell. When he was examined the doctors found a Bible in his hip pocket. The piece of shell had struck the 23ible and gone through the pages: Had it not been for the Bible the officer's spine would have been shattered. Curiously enough, the missile bad stopped at the ninety- first Psalm, and the officer's fattier, who had given him the Bible, bad written a verse from that Psalm en the flyleaf. Shaving soap, tobacco pouches, letter -cases, and hooks of all de- scriptions have saved the lives of many soldiers, but the most extraor- dinary life-saver was a mouth -organ which' was smashed to pieces by a bullet as it seated in the left breast pocket of Private Keighley, a Cana- dian. It was found afterwards that the mouth -organ bore toe legend, "Made in Germany," Suffered Awfully FROM BILIOUS HEADACHES.?

Westervelt, Principal • =O A Shameful But Heroic Story t TRAGEDY the most Ashameful and blopdemt .n British military re- cords, an epic the most glorious in British his- tory,'" is John L, Balderson's way of summing' up the Dardanelles adven- ture.' Mr, Balderson has been going carefully over the history of , that great attempt to reach Constantin ogle, rehdlug the details of all olliaia-I documents and reports, and commun- icatee his opinions on the subject to the Pittsburg Despatch, whose spe- elal correspondent he is le London.. In brief, Mr. Balderson thinks that the generals on the spot muddled and the British Government delayed • sending reinforcements, , He is a partisan of Sir Ian Hamilton's and believes that the Dardanelles might have been forced had sufficient men been sent when they were needed: The Dardanelles remains for the present a story of mingled shame and glory. Some time, no doubt, there will be a proper investigation, and the shame and glory properly parcelled out. In one fine paragraph Mr. Balder - son pays this tribute to the British troops: "The storming of the heights of Abraham at Quebec by General Wolfe's soldiers was an easy thing beside the climb of the Australasians up the cliffs at Gabe Tepe, for Wolfe's men did not accomplish their feat in the midst of a hurricane of shrapnel, high explosives, and ma- chine-gun bullets. And where, is there a parallel for the stand of the Australian battalions at the foot of the hill of Chunuk Bair, itself a key to victory, against wave after wave of Turks until almost every man had fallen, including the three command- ing generals and every senior officer; unless it be the stand of the Cana- dians at Ypres? Earlier in this very attack, that of August 10, the sons of old England proved their mettle fighting with the men of the Donde- lone when the Warwicks and the Worcesters lost every officer and did not break, and the Seventh battalion Gloucestershire Regiment lost every officer, every senior non-commission- ed officer, and fought in groups com- manded by corporals and privates on the top of Chunuk Bair from midday to sunset, The Turks, too, in the four months from April 25 to August 26, redeemed the shame of their Balkan wars and eclipsed the glories of Plevna," He proceeds to correct one very common misapprehension concerning the operations on the Gallipoli. The British casualties in the campaign up to December 11 totaled 198,000, of whom more than 25,000 were killed, 75,000 wounded, and 96,000 invalid- ed home. The French casualties were about 35,000. That is to say, the enterprise cost the Allies in the neighborhood of a quarter of a mil- lion men. Viewing these figures It is natural to suppose that Gen. Hamil- ton had a great 'erre under him, but Mr. Balderson says that at no time until last August, when five new divisions arrived, did he have 100,- 000 soldiers fit for duty, On August 15 only 95,000 rides were available, and this number steadily dwindled so that not more than 90,000 men were finally removed when the blood- soaked ground was finally relin- quished, For months no reinforce- ments were sent to Hamilton, but all the time there was a continuous trickle of drafts to take the places of killed and wounded men. Wbat Hamilton wanted, what the situation demanded, was new armies. The writer goes on to say that after the failure of the first naval at- tempt to force the straits in March, when it was plain that the.wor•k re- quired an army, General Joffrere- fused to have his plans upset by des- patching an army from France or Flanders. The men for the Dardan- elles adventure bad tc be gathered up from Australia and New Zealand, from England, and from the North of Africa. These forces made their landing, but only after losses that made it impossible for them to fur- ther advance until' reinforcements arrived. These refnforretnents did not come, and in the meantime the Turks under their German officers were making their positions almost impregnable. Mr.. i3aiderson be- lieves that tire delay' was due to the fact that the British expected a great movement on the western front, and kept the troops for this attack. Sir Ian Hamilton, it fe said, in the expectation of receiving the rein- forcements that he,, had asked fon. prepared four plansof attack, finally deciding upon the one attempted by the Australians which aimed at the capture of the ridges of Sari Bair, while at the same time a landing was to be made from tr'ansport's at Simla Bay. The night, set, for the 'attempt was, the Iaat night for 'a month on which, there woutdi be ne moon, and it teas on this •account that raw troops. were hurled directly from their traneportp into one of the moat furious battles of the war- It ie )not pleasant to read of what, 'followed.

TREE PUBLICITY There is ,one sentence which ;every editor of a newspaper is very fam iliar with and which appeals to him ,vi'th every issue of his paper than is ;—"We trust that you will find it of sufficient interest to give it space," In most cases editors do find the articles would be interest- ing to the readers of the paper.

Bat the re- quest usually comes from some, so deny, organization or branch of woi k theft considers the subject in hand so sufficient importance so pay a capable man to further its int erests.

Personally I ams heartily,'vete- tad to God that Ile ever led' me to• give myself wholly to the study and ex- position of His word and that He, has been graciously pleased to use me to help many to know Him better. This morning (May 25, 1915) among other mail was a letter which, said: "Many, many years ago [it must be twenty-five at least] I learned, to love my Bible through your teaching, and now I am teaching large classes each week. I have a class of 165. ladies and am, teaching in Genesis—'My heart cries, "I will extol Thee• my God,. Cr King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever"'” (Ps. exly, 1,). It is not com- forting to read of tee contention over John Mark which led. tor the separation. of such good friends as• Barnabas and Pani, but the Lord overruled: 11 for good by sending forth four mission, aries instead of two, Barnabas and Mark sailing to Cyprus, while Paul and Silas went through' Syria and: C111- efa (xv, 35-41)• The first missionary tour ended. at Lystra and Derbe, whence Paul. and: Barnabas retraced their steps by the" way they had come, strengthening the saints and assuring them that tribula- tion was the way to the kingdom (eta-, 21-26). Now we find. Paul again, act Lystra and Derbe and are intro- duced to Timothy, of whom Paul spoke, as "my own son in the faith" and of whom he wrote saying, "I have no• man so dear unto me" (I Tim. f,. 2; Phil. ii, 20; margin). He also speaks of his mother, Eunice, and his grand- mother, Lois, and of their unfeigned faith, which had been granted to Tim- othy likewise (II -.Cur. 1, 5). Being well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium, Paul took him along with biro on this journey, and we find, him associated with Paul in his letters to several of the churches, while in each of the letters to the Th'ees,iesians tile greeting is. from Pant and Silas and Timothy. It will certainly be interesting if Timothy shall tell us some day, in, the kingdom that he saw Paul stoned, dragged out of the city as a dead main, return to life and return to the city, and that with the teaching at home led Jogging Laziness into Activity ` I • '.;" : kryl The merchant whose business lags in the summer) has himself to thank.

As they went from city to city they were able to. comfort and strengthen the. disciples by the decision of tiro Jerusalem council (verses: 4; 5). Having passed through what is known as• Asia: Minor to, the extreme west, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in the prov- ince of Asia. or. in Bithymia (verses G Z), and this leads us to. notice the con- trol and guidance and power of the Holy Spirit in: all this working of the risen and ascended, Christ through Elis messengers. Whether it be our Lord Himself or Peter or Stephen. or Philip or Paul and Lis companions,, the Holy Spirit is the speaker, the worker, the teacher, the guide, the controller in all things. Ele is mentioned fifty timesin seventeen chapters of this: hook. There is noth- ing that a. believer needs so much as to be filled with, and controlled by Hine, for only thus: can, the risen Christ man- ifest Himself' ie. us and work His works through, us. We are not told how the Spirit 'forbade them to go to Asia or suffered thein not to go into Bithynia. It may have been by cir- cumstances or by a direct message, as when He told Philip to speak to the treasurer, or Peter to go with the mes- sengers from Corneous (vili, 29; r, 19). Oh, for ears to hear and a readiness to obey, a heart in tune with Ood, a life fully yielded to Hind While at Troas Paull saw, in a vision 'of the night, a man of Itatcedonia, in llurope, and he beard him say, "Coma over and help us." Therefore they con - eluded that the Lord was calling therm to Europe, and so they crossed to No- apolis and went to Philippi, the chief city of that part of Macedonia (verses 8-12). If we have no wills no plans of our own the Lord will in His own time and way give us sure guidance (I's. xxxii, 8; iso, xxx, 21; Ex. xxiif, 20). They did not at first find the man of the vision, but in our next lesson in this book we shall see a man and his household milds glad. They did find on the Sabbath a wo- men's prayer meeting, and its they, spoke the word of the Lord, the heart of a woman named Lydia was opened to receive the message, and being bap- tised, she and her household, she con- strained the apostles to make her house their home for the tine being (verses 13.15). She had worshiped God ac- cording to her light, and no doubt she and the others had prayed for more light, and •(:rod, who sent Philip to the eunuch, and Peter to Cornelius, sent Paul to this meeting, Wbat a happy' home this now was.
