LONDON, Sept. 19.- For ilve days
the British and French armies have
been, trying to dislodge the Germans
from the strong line of defence which
they constructed on the battle front
stretching from the Oise to. the Meuse
Rivers. Their attacks were counter
attacks but were offset and there is no
change in positions. The Allies claim
slightlprogress at some points against
the Germans right wing North of the
River Ainse. They repulsed the coun-
ter_ attacks ' between Caroone and
Rheims on the centre and right the
Germans acting on the defensive, liav'-
ing dug intrenchmeuts.- The Germans
having a fortified front would appear
to have the advantage according to
military experts. They, however,
must defend the whole front while the
P
Allies are free to mass troops and
attack anywhere. lt is thought that
General Joilre is making plans to
break through the German front some-
where North of Verdun and thus
sever German communications with
the Rhine and compel them to rely on
the line running into Belgium, which
is nienaced by Anglo-French forces as
well as the Belgians Army. The Ger-
mans as is reported would offer tre-
mendous resistance to such a move.
It is apparent the Germans plan re-
maining on the defensive in the West
while taking all possible troops East
to meet the Russians. 'I`hey ordered
troop trains to assemble at Luxem-
berg, on the frontier. Calais and
lioulogne routes to Paris have been
1 re-opened. _

Asked how he liked the place. the
Major replied enthusiastically in its
praise; the people, he says, are all
genial and amiable. 'I`he men ex-
pect to be there all winter, and a
suitable barracks has been prepared
for them. , Everybody is satisfied
with the place and the food is served

an ideal one. They don't work very
strenuously, doing just sufficient "to

Darke puts lt'.' They 'engage In friend-
ly, though seriously contested, games
of football and baseball, and "the old

once more. Every second night
there is a baseball match. the officers

S|R\J. M. BARRIE THINKS WAR
WILL LAST LONG TIME.
NEW YORK, September 19.- Thc
Cunard liner Lusitania, from Liver-
pool, reached her pier here early yea-
t_§rday_._ _Proniiiient among the 1502
passengers were Sir James M. Bar-
rie, author aud playwright, and A.
E. W. Mason, the English novelist
Speaking of the war Sir James liar-
rle saids- .
' ' “The real ultimate cause of tho
war is milltarism. The nations have
been arming themselves and a load-
ed gun always goes off sooner or lat-
er. In my oplnioii the war will last a
long time.
The issue involved is as clear as
the cause which brought it about-it
is whether soldiers or citizens are to
rule in Europe. `
“So far as England is concerned
the most striking feature of the war
is the way in which the young men
of Britain are enlisted.
"One hears the Kaiser generally
blamed for the war. This is some-
what less than fair. The Kaiser was
a young man in 1870 when the war
spirit was a very strong, and he is
merely the product of a system.
"It is too early to talk of peace
negotiations. No peace would be
lasting i_ior would it produce the re-
sults which \ve all hope for unless one
side is thoroughly beaten."

HOT FIGHTING.
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Sept. 19.-A despatch
to The Times from Bordeaux dated
Friday says: “Throughout yesterday
the wIiol_e front was engaged, the iight
again being the hottest on the left
fiaiik, where the turning movement is
bccoining defended. The enemy made
a series of vigorous counter-attacks.
“General I~‘rench's army has again
been singled out for the encmy's par-
ticular attcntion, but their three at-
tempts to get home upon it have been
in vain. While the fighting is hard
on the eastern half of their front the
Germans are digging hard in the cen-
tre froln Ithcinis to Argoiiiio and this
probably will form tlis pivot of the
battle.”

100,000 MEN WILL BE LEFT BE-

VALCARTIER CAMP, Que., Sept.
19.-When the first Canadian contin-
gent, comprising around 22,000 oilicers
and mon sail for England, about 10,000
will be left behind. It has been gen-
ierally supposed that the latter would
be used to form the nucleus of a sec-
ond Canadian dlvision, Init Colonel
Sam Iluglies stated tonight that many
of ilieni would act as reserve and
would be sent to Englzind a few weeks
after the departure of the first lot of
Canadian soldiers. The date of sail-
ing, ot` course, will be kept a secret as
far as possible, but it is very probalile
that the Canadians will have some
training on English soil liefore join-
ing the British and French forces on
the (lontiiient. liow many of those
who will not be taken with the first
contingent, but will follow later for
wastage, such as sickness and casual-
ties, thc minister would not state. lint
undoubtedly a considerable number
of the disappointed ones will cross the
Atlantic sooner than they expect.
'KAlSER'S` I-'ANTASTIC DREAM AND
HIS RUDE AWAKENING.
LONDON, Sept. 19.-One of the
roots of the present war was the grave
and serious niiscalculation regarding
British Empire that German "culture"
and German spirit led Emperor Wil--
liani and the German people into, said
Premier Asquith in addressing a re-
cruiting meeting at Edinburgh, Scot-
land tonight.
The Germans were led into the mis-
calculation, he said, that tho British
colonies wanted to cut connections
with the Mother Country and that In-
dia was in revolt.
“What a fantastic dream and what
a rude awakening,” exclaimed the
Premier.
lt has been proved that Germany by
her own deliberate act made warr
Mr. Asquith continued, adding that
Germany has made no attempt to con-
trovert that fact, except by the cir-
culation of wanton falsehoods. It is
in the interests not only of the British
Empire but of civilization, the speaker
declared, that the arrogant claim of a
single power to dominate the destin-
ics and development of Europe should
be resisted.

AN ANGLO-AMERICAN CONTIN-
GENT IS BEING ORGANIZED.
LONDON, September 20.- There
are not lacking adventurous neutrals
these days who long to get into tho
European flglit. Hence, the Anglo-
American contingent that Lord Lyve-
den is organizing.
It is not the intention of Lord
Lyveden to interfere w-ith American
neutrality. Ile, therefore, seeks only
British subjects in the United States,
or Americans who are resident in
Britain or have taken out B`rilish citi-
zenship papars.
Permission to organize such a con-
tingent has only recently been grant-
ed by the British war office, yet over
two hundred have already enrolled.
Plans are to form half an infantry
batallioii of 480 men, and one or two
squadrons of cavalry of 150 men each,
besides small dctachuients. Then, if
at the end of four months the com-
mand passes the inspector, the men
will take the ancient army oath of nl-
legiance to the king--not to Great
Britain-and go to the front, as a
unit.

tho crown prince telegraphod to a
Merlin newspaper asking it to collect

his soldiers.
No news from ofllcial sources for

the miduiglit bulletin, whose reports

cate that the battle is still pro-
gressing.
IIRTILLERY DUEL
(Special to the Guardian.)
PARIS, Scot. 20.-With the break
of day the furious nrt-'illcry duels
were resumed with unubatcd fierce-
ness along the whole line from Noy-
on to Verdiin. Despite the ferocity of
the French attacks on the German
left where the Crown l’rince's army
is fighting to keep from being driven
back through Stensy Gap, the fier-
mnns appeared to bo barely holding
their lines with the stubborness of
despair. The loss of life at this point
on both sides is enormous owing to
frequent clashes in the open. The Gor-
mnn 'loss is terrific as n result of
the toll taken by the French, 75
millimeters, und the bayonet charges..

ST JAMES'S.
There was an unusually large ntIeiid~
ance at St James`s (lhurcli last night
when the Rev. Dr Fullerton oreaclicd
an excellent sermon from tice twelfth
chapter of Deuteronomy, verse 10.,
Di'. Fullerton said iii part: '
“ We have the question asked: 'Anil
now, israel, what doth the Lord l.liy
God rcquinc of thee? ' The answer is
summed up in ii few words, iliui they
should follow in the footsteps of God;
that lie is their leader. lic has I::iIlt»d
them for a special piirposc and they
must justify ills culling by lhc realisa-
tion of that purpose. \Vc go hack to
those seiiii-historir: tliiies and we iliirl
that God desired a nation tliut. would
contain the oraclcs of ills kingdom.
They were to be thc central lifc whose
radiance would illuminate other nation-
alities; they were to iiold in priiiciplcs
the oracles of the living God that they
might prepare liunianity for an ascciit
in things that were moral and spirit-
ual, that they might prepare the
human race, diverse in its iiatioiial-
ities, in its language, in its conception
of morals, for the reception of Jesus
Christ, the Sou of the Eieriial God.
lt is true that from thc stniidpoint of
religion to-day wc are eiiipliasisiiig the
individual, and yet we inisztukc the
whole trend of the piirpo:-ic of God il'
we do not recognise that llis rcdciup-
tion includes thc race. llad it not
included .the race it could not enibrare
the indlvdual. The claims of the Cross
are on humanity as a whole. lt ap-
peals to the race just as definitely
and distinctly as it appeals to you and
to nie. We have no hesitation in say-
ing that the great nation to which
we belong has been as clearly culled
ni' God as the Israelites of old. We
have no hesitation in asserting our
belief that we are not wlicrc we are
to-day in our splendid cuiiiliiiizition
without tho guiding hand oi' the Etcr-
nal Goil. We do not believe iii cliiiiiuc;
we do not bclievc that God leaves any-
thing to the inure qilestioii ol’ fuiili.

Ile created us? It remains true for
us, as it was true for lsracl. that a
covenant with God is the one sure
ground of all covenants bctwcun uian
and man; and when we rc:-ognlsc
that the treaties made of old with God
in all sincerity ever brought vic-
tory to the side of truth and righteous-
ness, surely we should recognise to-day
that the one binding trcaiy on us is
that which, as n iiatiou, we should
make with our God. You know how
Shakespeare, that prince of poets,
dwelt continually on the fact that all
the world's a stage and :ill thc niru

In this mighty Empire, wcldod in soul
and mind, that wc might bc the iii-
struments of God in working out ills
rlgliteoiis ends. And yet, ii` this is
so, surely during these recent weeks
in the varying fortiiiics of war, our
Iiearts have been moved to consider,
where is God in the midst of this
terrible slaughter? Whore is God in
this unparalleled and bloody conflict,
where niillloiis are strlvliig with streii-
uous endeavour to slay one another on
the field of battle? We cannot think
on the awful horrors of war, on the
consequences of this present war-
we cannot think on tho passions that
accompany it without pausing anti con~
sidering whether, after all, we are the
instruments of God in this conflict.
The nation has been called to prayer;
but why are we praying day by day?
Can we consecrnte with prayer and
benediction those iron-clad forces of
destruction that are sweeping the
mighty waters of the deep to-day? (lan
we thank Almighty God for such suc-
cess as we have won against great
odds oil the field of battle? Are we
able to fall buck in the last analysis
and find our souls humlily yet strongly
thrilled with this conception, that we
are on the sitio of righteousness, that
we are on the side of truth. and con-
sequently on the side of God? Can
we, with love, think of God as being
with us, when by sheer slaughter we
are striving to hold our own and gain
victory? I would like on some occa-
sion to demonstrate by actual detail
what our heritage has cost in the past.
But think on the destruction oi Jer-
usalem! How many lives were sacri-
ficed in that destruction! Turn to
more recent times and consider the
French Revolution. How niauy things

Giiiiii FINISH iii
THE Hiiiiiiii 'HIEIS
IlAI.ll>`A.\', Sept. 19.-The unfinished
2.19 trot. and the 2.17 prime were con-
vludcd this al`ie1‘iioon. There was
great exrilciiieiif over the outcome of_

mic. Long before the hour of start-
ing, interested people. were arriving at
the track the sympatlilzors of the dif-
ferciit liorscs being anxious to get a.
line on their prcliminarics. Dr. Sharp-
t-r canie out for his warming up work
like a colt. and reeled oil’ it mile in
2.23 3-4 against a strong wind, so
easily that his friends wore a happy
smile. Dora and Oakley boili came
out apparently strong. It is doubt-
ful if ever in thc history of racing
licrc, has there been such intense ln-
tcrest in thi- ouicoine of a heat. Start-
er Power railed the horses back for
ihrcc scores ns; Oakley was not quite
up. Ou thc fourth at t.lie word go
Sliarpcr shot. to the front. On the
Iia<~ksI.reii~li Dora came up fast on the
inside and Oakley on the outside. The
ilircc snlkies were so closc_it looked
like a spill. Dora struck Sharper's
sulky and liolli horses went oil' their
feet. Oakley sprlnilug to the loud.
li looked :ill over hut the Doctor set-
ilcd tliiichly and drove furiously for
Oakley. They were neck and neck at
the three qliurters, i'I'oni iliere to the
turn (‘anicron and I\incKinuon teamed
for dt-:ir life. Un the turn Sharper
got in front and won hy two lengths in
fast time for the day and wind, 2.21.
The 2.17 class pace had for the finals
llelcii ll.. llilda S .and A Game of-
lfliance, Ili-fore thc start the driver
of li<-len lt. was called to the stand
in explain his failure to win the race.
The explanation satisfied the Judges.
A Ganic-of-(‘lmiif‘e had the pole, Helen
on the outside of llilda. Chance and
lirlcii went away very fast; Chance
going to a bad break at the turn. Helen
raced in front until the upper turn.
when llilda went in on the lead. On
tho home stretch Helen came with
such a rush that she nearly nipped the
heat, llilda having a bare nose to the
good. _
Helen R. is thought by horsemen
here, to be the best racing prospect
in the Ppnvlnces. She competed on
ihroc consecutive days In nine belts.
the fastest being 2.16 1-2 and the slow-
eat 2.21. She was the contending
horso in almost every heat.
