THE WAR SITUATION
The German drive on Paris was at
gain resumed on Sunday and 'fierce
fighting sstill in progress. The lat-
est attempt is being made on a front
of about '25 miles and is being sup-
d.hY anseven greater mass of Ger-
troops than on the lag two ef-
forts beingclaimed that the enemy
IIaVe at least 16,000 men for every
front of mile engaged. This time
however, the attack had no element of
silt -pries attached to itnthe French be -
ng amply prepared for the drive, and
atthough the first rush has given the
emy a gain of five miles in depth at
the furthest advance, the gain has
out Of all proportion to the losses
sustained bv Germany. The Germans
undoubtedly ',mew the French were ex-
pecting to be .attelted, because they
roust have realized it was quite Im-
possible for them in this instance to
tonceal the Movement of their troops
,and because the French artillery pre-
-natation showed the latter were tak-
ang every .precaution to prepare a hot
atiception for the Germans. Under
hes Circumstances the Germans have
unques
ationaisly allowed, for:heavy los-
or in a prepared mositioie. where.
a. determined' stand is being made by
the disfeeiceethe.casualties due to gun
fire and artillery must of necessity be
severe. It is diledy therefore; that the.
neer offensiVe WM continue for some
d*ys. yets as the Germans must ,have

tim..n'ans. A number of villages

by the enemy on Sunday and Mon-

There shoukd. however, be dis-

ities of the present German at -

compensation, for the losses sus -
ed, we should have every con&

battle extend norlmiard to in -
:e the i British lines. In preparing
ffen.sive the Germans always
e two points of attack, so that
hey fail to make good at one
t, the alternative point is already
ed upon and in this case it will
most likely be the British line. The
flrh line,howet-er, has been greatly
shhengthened and as the favorable
Weather has permitked ofcontinued
scouting, a surer.* is out of the

the Gamlen people. In this -way the
e may assume a fierceness ssr-
posing those, that have .gone before.
Tile battle .may not prove decisive
which everneay it goes, but a German
failure to push forward now would
have an immense bearing on the future

object.is to weaken or break the

The American troops have been do-
ing some magnificent fighting and
have attained some importent local
successes along the French front dur-
ing the past week.

E NEW MODERATOR OF THE
GENERAL ASSENIIILY.
Rev. Dr. Colin Fletcher, minister of
Thames Road Presbyterian Church,
hear Exeter, was elected moderator of
the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church of Canada at the open-
ing session of the Assembly in St.
Andrewls Church, London, on•Wednes-
day evening of last week.
Others nominated were Rev. Dr.-
Donald-McGillivery, of Shang-hi,China,
and Mr. 3. K. McDonald. of Toronto.
The nomination of the latter was ruled
out of order on the ground that the
constitution of the church required
that a minieter and not, an elder be the
moderator. The retirine moderator,
Rev, Dr. John Neil, deelined to decide
this point when raised, and the ruling
was made by Rev. Dr.. Campbell, sen-
ior clerk of assembly. This ruling
was sustained by a close vote of the
assembly, 85 to 81.
The election of Dr. Fletcher followed
-- an ample majority over Dr. Mc-
Gillivery, although the vote 'was fair-
ly close, Dr. Fletcher was nominated'
by Rev. J. 'McCoy, of Victoria, and
Dr..W. H. Sedgewick, Heiniilton..
r. McCoy made a strong plea that
in the selection of a moderator the able
men in country districts be not over-
looked, and pointed out that for near-
ly 40tyears Sr. Fletcher had been 1)01 -
tor of the same congregation.
Dr. McGillivery Was strongly sup -
Ported by Dr -Scott, who styled him a
hmissionry statesman," and referred
to his noted literary and Missionary
achievements in the Chinese 'field. Mr.
MacDonald was nominated by. Rea.
Dr, Baird, of Winnipeg. !
Dr: Colin Fletcher, M. A., D. D.,
the moderator -elect, of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian 9hurch
in Canada, was born in 1847, 'on 'the
Island of Islay, Argylleshire, Scotland
and received his early education there.
He came to Canada in 1864, when
17 years of age, with his brother, the
late Rev. Dr. 1-.). H. Fletcher, who was
also destined to fill the high- office new
occupied by Dr. Colin Fletcher.
The moderator erect settled in
Scarboro,Ont., and rersui4ed his studiee
at Upper Canada' College. He later
attended Toronto .University, gradu-
ating with degrees of B.A., and M.A.,
and began the study of theology at
Knox Gollge, graduating in 1879. In
that year he -was ordained and was
offered•and taccepted a call to Thames
Road Church, where he has been ever
since. It is his first and only charge.
His ability was recognized froin the
first, and in the councils of the church
he has occupied an interesting posit-
ion. As a scholar his reputation is
!Widespread, and for years he has been
on examining .board of Knox Col-
lege. In 1906 he was elected moder-
-ator of the Synod of London and Ham-
ilton.
Several times Dr. Fletcher has been
asked to consider calls t.o other con-
gregations, but he preferred to re-
• main with his country charge at the
Thames Road, which is situated five
miles from Exeter, Ont. Here he has
done a big work. He has been tilde-
fatiguable in his efforts to induce the
young men to enter the ministry, and
it is the proud boast of his congrega-
tiom that it has sent probably a
• larger number of young men to this
high calling than any other of its size
in Canada. Among these is the fam-
ous Dr. Meldrum of Cleveland.
Dr. Fletcher is a widower. He has
no children.
His brother'the late Rev. Dr.
Fletcher, was for many years minis-
ter of McNabb Street Presbyterian
Church, Hamilton. He was elected to
the moderatership at Vancouver in
1903.

Din ng together one evening In
a we 1 -known restaurant, we were
mauve sing in English. Seated at the
next t ble was a quartette of officers,
home on, furlough. Presently a wait-
er ste ped up to us and said that the
officer Objeeted to our speaking the
Engli h tongue. Knowing that we
were • ell within' our rights, we re-
fused o discontinue the conversation.
The 'four officers then rose, stood
stiffly at attention, and d,emanded
that we be ejected from the restau-
rant. xt was a very unpleasant and
humil
1
hting. experieuce; but, as we
look ack, we cannot fail to see the
humo ; of it, with the men standing
so rid biliously straight in the centre
of the place. The American, as host,
appro ched the group and endeavored
to expllain; but he was s -wept aside
with haughty gesture. Upon return -
hog tol the table, the proprietor in-
formed him -that he mould be unable--

Time y Agricultural Siiggeations.,
Seedl grain and root seeds secured
from th best sources available and in
• ample uantities for spring seeding
are a ost profitable investment at
thiti e iiii
s of,ktke year. It is not too
late to germinate seeds of various
kinds f farm crops,'to determine
their a itability for spring seed. A;
poor s sown is a seed wasted --
and f is too scarce to waste any

iPlenty of exercise for the breeding
sniimalsi will insure stronger and
more profitable young.
When the work is not too pressing,
get the fanning mill busy to ensure
a good supply of sound, plump seed
grain fee from weed seeds. The
oftener the seed is put through the
fanning mull the larger and plumper
the graii will be, and the fewer the

ing
mat rial now. Blueetone will be
required for spraying potatoes, Iron
sulphite for spraying mustard, lime
sulphur for the fruit trees and paris
green of arsenate Of lead for potato
beetles and other inseot pests. Be
sure to secure the supply of formaliu
for treahng seed, grain to prevent
smutt and for treating, potatoes to
prevent tab. One pint of Formalin
15 suffici, nt to treat from 20 to 30
bushels of grain and the same amount
will treat from 40 to 45 buzbels of
potatoes., Keep the Fonnalin bottle
well corlOed and do not leave it in a
place where it is likely ta be frozen.

great pr blem in agriculture this

The ide 1 temperature in. the dairy
stable combined with good air, is
be tweeh 0 and 60 degrees Fahren-

central p int in ,the stable and note
the variat on in the temperature from
day to a y. On fine' days turn all
the cattle outside for an hour in the
sunshine. It may mean a little less
