GREAT RUSH OF
  LAST MINUTE MEN
Recruiting Stations in (England
Thronged with Men ol Every
Class Anxious
to Escape Con-
scription at the Last Moment.
LONDON. Dec. 11.-The rush of
“Last Minut'e Men " who desire to
escape the stigma of being forced to
join the colours, if conscrlption should
be adopted, continued to-day, the last
day but one of the trial period for the
Earl of Derby's recruiting plan. Lines
formed at the recruiting stations as
early as five o’clock this morning and
remained there all day.
Announcement that there would he
no extension of the time limit for the
test of the volunteer system appar-
ently convinced many men of rhili.
tary fitness that the,Earl of Derby
was in earnest, and caused them to
flock to the stations.
The scenes at the Recruiting Bur-
eaus are entirely different from those
during Secretary Kitchener's regime.
it is not a case of inducing men to
enlist, as a result of appeals made by
recruiting sergeants. but rather of
handling the applicants. who walt
patiently in long lines, three or four
abreast. in the cold. hlustery weather.
Af Triifalgar Square only a small
crowd of idlers stood around the base
of the monument to hear the fervid
appeals on behalf of King and country,
which were being made by speakers.
MILITARY PARADE TO
CHURCHES
YESTERDAY
About 140 men of tho 105th Regi-
ment attended St. Paul's Church yes-,
terday morning, when Rev. T. Mur-,
phy delivered an interesting and
forceful sermon on "The Captain of the
l.ord’s Host," taking his text from
Joshua, 5. 14-15: “And he said, nay;
but as captain of the host of the Lord
nm I now come. _And Joshua fell on
his face on the earth and did worship
and said unto him, What saith my
Lord unto his servant. And the Cap-
tain of the Lord’s host said unto Jos-
hua, Loose thy shoe from oft thy foot;
for the place whereon thou standest
is holy." The idea which the preach-
er drew from his text was that in the
present conflict the angel of the Lord
is standing with drawn sword in his
hand taking an active part. If we do
as Joshua did we will get his blessing
and guidance and He will lead us to
victory. Nietzsche, the German Philo-
sopher, denied Jehovah and proclaim-
ed Odin- as the national god of Ger-
many, The clean fighting on our part'
is due to the fact that we are wor-I
shippers of Jehovah, while Germs.ny's
atrocious career is not to be wonder-
ed at in view of their barbarous doc-
trine. Mr. Murphy also spoke to the
men on the subject of preparedness
and in conclusion urged on them to
accept the Lord as their Saviour and
to follow Him. _*__

1° D. W. Howard,
proachcd an earliest and iniprcssivc
sermon on “Humllity."
When the priests and Levites camo
to John the Baptist asking him "who
art thou?" they did not wish to find
out to which family he belonged. They
wnntod to know by whose authority
he was pr_eaching and who ho was.
They were under the impression that
he might be the Messiah. “And John
answering them, confessed and denied
not." Again they said, “Who art
thou that we may be able to give an
answer to them that sent us'?"' John
said,_“I am e voice crying in the wil-
derness, as was foretold by Esaias the
prophet." He was a forerunner of our
Divine Saviour.
The gospel of to-day also asked them
some very trite questions. It asked
also "Who art thou?" 'lt was one
which each one of them could put to
themselves and by the answer they
might know themselves better and
become more humble. lt was a ques-
tion addressed not only to Christians,
but to all men. They were all crea-
tures of Almighty God. They came
from nothing and were going back to

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Anglo-
French troops who last week began
their retirement from their advanced
approaching, if they have not crossed
the Greek frontier, and the attitude
Greece will adopt becomes more and
more important. Despatches from
Athens available in London indicate
that the matter which was left to
Greek and Allied military authorities
at Saloniki, is being amlcably arrang-
ed and that the Allies will' be allowed
to retire to that city without any in-
terruption on the part of the Greeks
and will be permitted io remain there.
The questions which are seriously
,occupying thc Greek government have
to do with thc use of the railways,
which are needed for Greek troops,
and damage might bc done to them
with the object of impeding Bulgarian
pursuit. should the Sofia government
decide the British and Frencli are to
bc followed in Grcck icrritory. The
Greek government had evidence oi the
effective manner in which thc French
cngincers destroy railways in thc
work donc along the line north oi' thc
Greek frontier. So wcll was this ac-
complished that ihc Bulgarians worn
greatly delayed, having to uso roads
covered with snow, with tho result
that the French escaped almost un-
scuthcd. The liritish, who had ad-
vanced further i`rom the railway to
north-west oi Luke Doiron. had much
more dliliculty to accomplish tho task

cessful withdrawal to a position ex-
tending from Lake Doiron to Vardnr

of the Connaught Rangers, the Mun-
ster Fusiliers and the Dublin Fusiliers.
British casualties were 1,500. They
were forced to leave behind eight field
guns which had been placed in posi-
tion to cover the retirement and could
not bc removed.
I What the next move will bc is
-known only to Allied Staffs, but it is
generally believed that thc Anglo-
French forces will fall right back to
Saloniki, where reinforcements are
arriving and which is \vcil fortified,
There are also rcports that the Allies
have landcd a division at liavnla,
nincty miles along thc const 'from
