BERLIN, Jany. 2.- Major Moraht, the military expert, discussing in the Tagblatt the eastern war situation says: "A1l military authorities are agreed that the Polish capital must soon be evacuated. its value ns a fortress, as is well known. is slight, but the strongly fortified positions in front of the forts, it must lie expected will be well ilefeiitlcil. Nevi-rtlieless, it would require strong forces to hold them. "lt appears, moreover, as if the Russian general staff attached great- er importance in bringing its main forces unbroken behind the Vlstula rather than develop tihe full strength west thereof. llowever, the plans of the Russian staff are unknown, and hence it, is not impossible that it still intends holding the region west of the Vistulo, with political prestige as the factor, despite the dangers at- tending it.

In part, he said: ln the hour of national crisis in the story ot' Jewish history the writer pauses for retrospect just as we do on the opcnlng Snhbiiih of the year. We say i'urt~well to the past. Strange sounds may conn- to ns from the valley behind, but ns we stand on tho mountain ridge and try to penetrate the mists on the valley before us wo do not know what we may meet as we descend. But yet to those who ore able to say: "Colne night or agony. God relgneth," there is a vision that pierces the thickest mist, that enables us to penetrate tho unseen and to realise that in that valley below pro- gress roll_s o’er the stream its amber waters. ln this national crisis in israel the some nttiiudo was taken. The writer remeinbered how their arms had been victorious in the past; " our fathers trusted in Theo and were not put to sliame"; and so he con- templates with absolute confldence in the victorious power that is ever vested in righteousness ami in truth. To-night, in common with millions, we are assembled that _wc may render thanks unto Almighty God. not merely for all blessings of the past but for tho victories that have crowned our arms with success and for the spleiidld con- I in St James Church last night the'but it comes bearing on its bosom pastor, Rev. Dr T. F. Fullerton, , some things we did not anticipate, not merely the opportunities that chor- acterlse the average year of life, but serious and undreoint of responsibili- ties. We must contemplate, as we look upon the coming days, sorrow, suffering and death. We meet in an hour of gloom that ls appalling. lt finds tis involved in the greatest war that has ever been known to human- ity; it finds tis alter three months of that rutlilesii devastation, face to face with ati antagonist who does not shrink from senii-savage tactics, who is prepared to loot the defenceless, to strike ruthlessly at the unprotected. to work havoc wherever it may deem it possible. Thousands of families have been clouded and crushed by bereavement. so that as we stand to-night at the opening of t.he year every patriotic heart is burdened with care, with anxiety, with trouble. We cannot contemplate the past few months without feeling a sense of shame that such things could have boon committed ln this nge of Chris- tian enlightenment. The struggle in which we are en- gaged is of lmperlal` and world-wide magnitude; and yct, though the suffer- ings iind losses have been collossal, though the pain, agony and suffering are beyond human description. yet in this house. erected to God, I have no hesitation in saying that we have many compensations. for which we should bo profoundly thankful and fldence with which we meet the coin- lng days, however dark iihey may I seem. The New Year sweeps into our lives like a tide lroin the great deep, which should cause us to use the words of our text. The mere respon- sibility of tho war makes us surely thankful that this war is our calamity YESTERDAY IN THE CHURCHES and not our crime. We never sought it; we did not even desire lt. We did the best that patience, consideration and conciliation could do, but we were forced into it by conspirators who had long premeditated the attack, who had carefully prepared themselves for it and who rushed into action just; as what they deemed to be the psycho- logical moment arrived. When they threw down the gauntlet and inaugu- rated this eruel war; when they said: " We stand on the side of the Eternal God and no British power or any other power dare intervene or can over- throw us." what could we do but place our arms at the disposal of the right- eous Judge and go forth in Ilia name for the defence of-what? For the defence of liberty, for the defence of justice,-for the cause of progress, for the perpetulty of peace. And we, too, appeal to God. There is ii right way and a wrong way, a reverent and an irreverent manner of appealing to the Supreme Disposer of all events; but I leave it to the common sense of every one if the declaration, “ God is our ally," made by the Emperor of Germany. token in connection with this contest. is not the most profanely selfish, is not the most contemptible, self~conildent assertion that has ever been known. We went into this war not saying that God was on our side. but saying we believed that God is on the side of righteousness, We went in with a larger and humbler spirit, ‘I 4 FRENCH 0FF|CliiL (Special to The Guardian) PARIS, Jan. 3.-(Official)-Since last night there are no notable occur- ences to report other than ii sustained cannonading against our trenches to the East of Vermeilles and the region to the North of Chatlines and a Ger- man attaok to the We-st of Consern~ voye wood North of Vcrdun, which failed.
