fered being tempted." He experienced
in the fullest mea.,ure the force of ev-
ery temptation to which a pure lout
and a, perfect intelligence could be
subject. Through all he preserved
his spotlessness, "yet without sin."
I-Iis public ministry commenced ap-
propriately with a severe and prolong-
ed mental and moral conflict. from
which he emerged victorious; and
which embraced in principle the orig-
inal temptation of .Eden, and tempta-
tions to which Christians are subject.
The clear interference is that repeated
experiences of temptation came to
him during his earthly ministry. The
devil "departed from him for a seas-
on." 2. Temptation is a means of
moral disclosure. Its character and
force are determined by inward rather
than outward conditions. 3. Tempta-
tion, if resisted, contributes to sym-
merty and strength of character,

bravado, to expose' ourselves unneces-

By maintaining a right attitude of the
will. However severe or prolonged,
temptation is never sin until the will
assents to the suggestion. "Blessed
in' the man that endureth temptation."
The suggestion cannot be prevented,
but consent can be withheld. There
are five steps in the progress of a suc-
cessful temptation: suggestion, consid-
eration, desire, decision, doing. "Re-
sist the evil and he will flee from
you." 3. Meet the suggestion with
the word of God.' Jesus repelled ev-
ery approach with, "Itis written."
The "sword of the Spirit," pointed,
keen, and two-edged, is "the word of

are called to aggressive and victorious
warfare against the evils entrenched

"The British at noon on August 28

Partial enemy attacked in the at-

OSTEND HEROES
ANE REViARDED
Three 'Victoria Crosses to
Officers in Raid,
With Many More Decora-
tions to Others.
A London cantle,: (Router Des-
Patch.)—The London Gazette contains
some stirring stories of deeds of her-
oism and indomitable • courage. let the
course of a long list there is mention
by Vice -Admiral Keyes, oornmanding
the Dover patrol, of a case in mince -
clots with the second blocking opera-
, tion at Ostend on the night of May
9-10.
Vice -Admiral Keyes says that
aerial photographs taken prior` to
the preparation clearly showed that
the enemy made special preparations
in anticipation of a renewed attack.
The operation was carried out in
mined waters in the face of a tre-
erendous fire. The greatest credit
wr s due to the volunteers for their
hazardous service in the Vindictive
and the motor launches. hie details
also the rescue work by the crews
of the innumerable craft which cov-
ered and screened the Vindictive, led
her to her objective, and rescued
nurrivors of her crew after she bad
been premeditatedly blown up.
The liainclude* four engine -room
artificers, of whom one wan taken
prisoner, who distinguished them-
selves aboard the Vindictive during
the attack Qtt Zeebrugge in April
and immediately volunteered for fur-
ther service on this occasion . They
behaved with conspicuous bravery.
The mentions also include the
French Vice -Admiral Ronarch and
other French naval men for their
assistance in this and earlier opera-
tions.
Three Victoria Crosaeo Were
awardeb, one to Lieut.-Cominander
G. E. Druntniorrtl, of the motor
launch section, who, notwithstanding
three ,severe wcunds from a shell
which killed some men aboard, mvi
gated his seriously damaged .vessel
and took off from the Vindicltire 40
of the crew, some of whcm had
been killed during the embarkation.
Then he sank exhausted. Another
motor launch later rescued hint
When his own craft was in a sinking
condition.
Another Victoria Cress goes to
Lieut. -Commander Rolland Bourke,
of another motor launch , who en-
gaged the enemy's guns with Lewis
guns. After withdrawing he heard
cries in the water and re-entered the
harbor and rescued the wounded
clinging to an upturned skiff. Hie
motor launch was hit in 55 places,
including one hit by a six-iuch shell.
A Victoria Cross was also awarded
to Lieut. Victor Crutchle, who par-
ticipated in the previous unsuccoes-
fut attempt to block Ostend harbor.
Subsequently he immediately volun-
teered for a further effort and as-
sumed command of the Vindictive
on May 9-10, after his superior offi-
cer had been put out of action, Be
manoeuvred the Vindictive into

sition and refused to leave the ves-
sel until he had searched thorough-

A London cable: Bapaume was
captured to -day by the forces of Field
Marshal Haig.
The town of Bapaume, one of the
chief highway centras in Norther;r
Picardy, is twe:ve miles north-east
of Albert and thirteen miles north of
Peronne.
It controls a network of fine high-
ways leading to all parts of the bat-
tlefield where for the past two weeks
the Allies and Germans have been
locked in a death struggle.
When the battle began it was one
of the German supply bases.
For the past week the town has been

held out in spite of the fact that the
British have passed beyond it both en
the north and scuth.

American Troops On the
Vesle Routed roe,
Tanks Played Big Part in
the Advance.
'With the American Army on the
Velso Front cable: Aecompanied
by a fleet of tanks and covered by a
heavy artillery barrage, the Ameri-
cans swept torward early to -day
against the German 1inee that slowly
and reluctantly fell back over Juvig-
uy Plateau. The tittle operation car-
red out yesterday by the French and
Amerlcaris had been merely prepara-
tory to the attack which began at 7
o'cloclt this morning, The kink had
been taken out of the line yesterday,
but no determined effort was made
to advance to any extent.
The firing was continuous through-
out the night on baht sides, the t:,er-
man guns being especially active.
The rains of the arly evening ceased
before the ground had been converted
into mud, SO when the orders were
given to -day the men moved forward
unimpeded.
The German positions were shell-
ed most vigorously by heavy guns,
mortars, and light pieces, firing al-
most point blank, as well as by long-
range naval guns, which searched
the positions far and near. And the. -1
the infantry advanced.
Up over the plateau infantrymen
went towards Juvigny and across the
little railroad running north and south.
The Germans immediately began te
employ the tactics of similar retreat',
leaving their rear defended by a Iine
of machine guns hidden behind every
clump 01 brush, promontory and
woods. Only a few detachments et
Infantry were left, the enemy again
adopting measures calculated to save
the most men possible:
From Couronne Woods and another
little wood standing,like sentinels be-
tween Juvigny and the American
lines, the German guns delivered a
deadly cross-fire. Juvigny is only
a village, but located along the side
of a hill, it offered a peculiar oppor-
tunity for defence, until the advanc-
ing forces moved into positions where
they were aole to make it untenable.
The resistance then etopped, the Ger-
mans retiring further east into more
broken ground.
The frontage assigned to the Amer-
icans was less than two miles.
That part in which Juvigny is Jo-
cated was the scene of a aramatfc
tank drive. L'nder the cover of ar-
tillery, the light French tanks flirted
"along both sides of the path up to the
little place, smashing down one ma-
chine gun nest after another, in spite
of the employment by the Germans of
their new tank gun, a sort of super-
elattser. This gun is virtually iden-
tical w:th the Mauser, except that it
fires a bullet more than half an inch
in diameter. This, it is calculated,
can pierce the tank and possibly in-
jure some vital part of the engine.
But in the path of the advancing ma-
chines, there now Ile broken or
smashed roto the earth scares of
these guns.

But Americans Across the
Vesle Hung On.
Stiff Fightin., at Bazoches,
s
Fisrette.
With the American Army an the
Veale cable despatch: (By the
Associated Press)—American and Ger-
man troops were engaged in spirited
actions to -day in the regions of Ba-
zoches and k'isinette. According to
the latest report trte fighting continues
at both points. 10 -night, as a result
of the local acticns, the Americans had
made some gains at Beeoches, while
the Germans had recaptured Fismette,
on the north bank of the Vosle, op-
posite Fismes. The fighting has been
marked by much stubbornness.
Several days ado, when..the Ameri-
cans advanced in the region of Ba-
zoches, the Germans retired into a
wcoded stronghoid, known as Haute
.liaison, just south of the Soissons -
Rheims road. Small detachments
were left in the cellars in Bazoches to
to harass the Americans.
Tuesday the Americans' approached
Bazoehes from the west, and maintain-
ed their advance during the night. '1•o -
day • the Americans made progress to-
ward the town from the cast and
south, a detachment taking•the""eastern
outskirts this meriting. Since then
they have made further n'ogress.
Fismette had been held by the.
Americans since Aug. 8, despite Ger-
man efforts to dislodge them at var-
ious times. To gain this bridgehead,
the Americans crossed the Vesle in
fierce fighting. For three days and
nights atter the enemy had been driv-
en from the village the Americans
were without food or reinforcements,
because of the constant enemy artil••
lery and machine gun tire.
The Germans maintained their posi-
tions commanding the village, and on-
ly during the night were the Ameri-
cans able to communicate With the
southern bank. The Americans erect -
temporary bridges across the river at
night time.
