Conflict Between Labor and Army Authorities Retards Russia rogative authority authority The new Cavalry’s Fine Workâ€"Aerial Position Improved Canadian Headquarters in France: To the great satisfaction of everyone here, the remarkable April snow- storm has been followed by frost and bright sunshine, which has permitted a resumption of operations, and raids have been carried out along the en- emy positions. The hard fighting Bavarians still confront the Can- adians on a large section of the line. Few of them have been taken in re- cent encounters. Our experience has been that they remain in their dug- outs at the risk of death by bombing, rather than come up on the call to surrender. Our aerial position has ,been changed greatly for the better, and the “red devil,” the formidable enemy machine which has been caus- ing trouble, has now learned to re- spect the British machines. From the Somme area comes further informa- tion regarding the great value of cavalry. Some of the best bits of work done in the capture of villages was accomplished by horsemen, who took to the fields and carried light guns with them, which proved useful in driving away the machine gun sec- tions used freely by the enemy .to cover his retirement. A report from Washington says: Al'Iied warships patrolling the Atlan- tic coast will be withdrawn and many will be sent to the European battle fleets, now that German merchant ships in American ports have been taken over and there is. no possibility of their slipping to sea as commerce raiders. All of the allied war vessels which have been patrolling close to American shores nearly three years may not be taken away until the status of the Austrian mer:-lzant ships finally is determined, but it is the intention of the allied Govern- ments to remove them eventually. Their places will probably be taken by American naval vessels. Allied Warships in Atlantic to be Replaced by U.S. A report from Petrograd reads: A small Russian force made a landing Saturday on Turkish territory on the Black Sea coast at a point about 140 miles west of Trebizond, it is an- nounced officially. 'The statement follows: “One of our Black Sea tor- pedo boats landed troops near the mouth of the River Termeh, 58 versts (38 miles) east of Samsoon. (Sam- soon is 180 miles west of Trebizond). Our troops burned a Turkish obser- vation post. The same torpedo boat captured ten sailing ships loaded with valuable cargoes and took them to Trebizond. One of our submarines has sunk a sailing ship in the B08- \horus region.” Russians Land on Black Sea Coastâ€" Burn Observation Post The following official communica- tion was issued from Rome Sunday: "General Cassini has routed 5,000 rebel Arabs in the anra zone (Tri- poli) and destroyed their camp and captured 40 artillery caissons, vast quantities of rifles, munitions, cattle and a Turkish flag.” A report from Washington says: 0! the $5,000,000.000 to be raised by a bond issue, $3,000,000.000, it was definitely stated, would be loaned to the entente allfes. The entire issue, House and Senate leaders have agreed, will bear interest at the rate of 31,9 per cent. A despatch from Ottawa says: Anâ€" other batch of pro-German publica- tions has been banned from circula- tion in Canada.

LieutCommander Byron McCandless, United States Naval Aide to Secretary of the Navy! Daniels, flashed 1mm the Presidential: window the signal to the Navy De-g artment. It was close to 4 o'clock sturday morning when the House of l Representatives finally adopted the war resolution by an overwhelming, poll of 373 to 50. i $100,000,000 Emergency Vote The Senate then proceeded to pass without debate or division, the special “national security and defence appro- priation of $100,000,000, to be imme- diately available, and to be expended “at the discretion of the President." This done, both Houses of Congress stood adjourned over Easter. Prepar- ations are already well advanced for financing the war. A bond issue, in- creased taxation, including higher taxes on estates, large incomes, whis- key, beer, tobacco and new methods of taxation, probably will be resorted to to raise the huge amount of $3,500,- 000,000, for which the present pro- gram calls. Unoificial estimates to the Federal Reserve Board are to .the effect that the banks of the Federal Reserve system are in a position to absorb up to $2,000,000.000 of war bonds at once, at a rate of in- terest not exceeding 31/2 per cent. Secretary McAdoo authorized the statement that'he thought the Govern- men would have no difficulty in rais- ing the necessary finances. but de- clined to indicate the probable methods that will be adopted. Nearly 100 interned ships of the Kaiser went into the possession of the United States. They represented a tonnage of about 600,000, and an estimated value of more than $125,- 000,000. No action was taken in re- gard to any of the Austrian ships in American ports. Total Value $126,540,000 The total value of the ninety-one German ships in American waters is placed at $126,540,000. The total ton- nage of the twenty-seven vessels at New York is about 300,000. At Boston five ships, of a total tonnage of about 77,000 were taken. National Guards- men, acting under the United States Marshal, seized three ships at Balti- more of a tonnage of about 20,000. Two vessels at Philadelphia, of a total tonnage of 16,000 were taken over. San Francisco yielded three of a tonnage of 8,000. At the Philippines are twenty-three German ships with a total tonnage of about 85,000. The Willehad, supply ship to the German submarine Deutschland, was seized at New London. Marines from the UnitedS tates destroyer Gresham boarded theD flve Boston ships. Two companies of the 22nd United States Infantry, a company of New Jersey Guardsmen, a score of Hoboken police- men, and a squad of customs inspec- tors participated in the seizure of the giant liner Vaterland, the George Washington, President Grant, Kaiser Wilhelm II., and other big ships tied up at the i-ioboken piers of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American Lines. 1 A despatch from Rome says: Con- fidential reports reaching the Vatican say that the situation in Spain is so critical that sensational developments, not even excluding a political up- heaval, are feared to be inevitable. It is the prevailing conviction in Vati- can circles that Spain's Monarchy is in peril, because even if a revolution is averted or repressed, the situation will not be permanently improved, and complications are sure to follow. It is well known that King Alfonso is pro-ally, but the army is pro-German, and Spain is overrun with German agents whose propaganda, carried on regardless of expense, has secured the sympathy of the conservatives and re- actionaries. Big Political Upheaval Reported to be Imminent British Admiralty announces: “At- tacks were carried cat on the Zee- brugge (Belgium) Mole by naval sea- planes on the night of April 7-8. Many bombs were dropped. Attacks also were made on ammunition dumps at Ghent and Bruges. All our machines returned safely. Other operations were carried out 01?

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John x, 1-13-9400!- ory Verses, 11. 12â€"Goldon Text, Jim at, 11â€"Commontary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The Golden Text seems to be the heart of the lesson this time if not al- ways. While in our lesson He is the Good Shepherd laying down His life for the sheep and giving unto them eternal life. with the assurance that they can never perish nor any power take them from Him (verses 11, 15. 27, 29), in Heb. xiii. 20, 21. He is the Great Shepherd risen from the dead. living His life in us and working in us that which is well pleasing in the sight of the God of Peace. In I Pet. v, 4, He is the Chief Shepherd who shall give rewards to His faithful fol- lowers at His appearing. In Gen. xlix. 2-1; Ps. lxxx. 1. lIe is the Shep- herd of Israel. This last shall be fully seen when Ezek. xxxiv, 11-16. and verse 31 shall be fulfilled. and then shall be seen the significance of Ps. xxiii as never before in the history of the world. In our lesson chapter He is talking to Israel, but lie spoke of oth. er sheep whom He must bring (verse 16), and some of those we are now gathering to complete. His body. the i church. but the full gathering of the nations to Him shall be after Israel has learned to say. "The Lord is my Shepher ,” according to Zech. ii, 10-13; “Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day and shall be my peo~ lple." Also Jer. iii. 17. “At that time they shall call Jerusalem the Throne of the Lord. and all the nations shall be gathered unto it. to the name of the Lord to J erusalem." He had been dealing with and was in the midst of thieves and robbers. who sought to enter the fold. but not by the door. They were persistently robbing God and making His house a den of thieves (Mal. iii. 8; Matt. xxi. 13). He is the door as well as the Shepherd, the only way of access to God, God’s own appointed way. and it is not possible to come to God but by Him (verses 7-9; chapter xiv, 6). But by Him, the door, any man may enter in and he saved and in Him find pastures green and waters of quiet- ness (verse 9), peace as a river and righteousness as the waves of the sea (Isa. xlviii, 17). All who are not Christ’s are in the employ of the lead- er ot all thieves and robbers and liars and murderers, the devil, of whom He said in a recent lesson that these re- ligious hypocrites were his children (verse 10; viii, 44). With righteous wrath He denounced them in these words: “Ye serpents. ye generation at vipers, how can ye escape the damna- tion of hell?” (Matt. xxiii. 33.) The Spirit through Paul said to Ely- mas, who tried to turn a man away, from the door to life. “0 full of all sub- tility and all mischief, child of the dev- il. enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" «Acts xiii, 7-10.) Contrast the Good Shepherd, who by laying down His life for us has pro- vided life, and life abundantly, for all who will receive Him. He gives free- ly that which He has purchased at so great a price, even the sacrifice of Himself. Life eternal, the water of life, eternal redemption and all that is included in such expressions be- come the sure and everlasting posses- sion of all who receive Him, and there is nothing in the Bible that in any way conflicts with the positive assurances of verses 2730. See Heb. i. 3; ix, 12. 26; Rom. vi, 23; iii, 24; Rev. nil, 17. There can be no contradictions in the Bible. for the same Holy Spirit wrote the whole book. As to life abundantly. compare par- don abundantly and an abundant en- trance lnto His kingdom (Isa. lv, 7; [1 Pet. 1, 11). The Lord gives not only, freely. but fully, all that He has pur- chased for us. and He desires to be able to give full rewards for service in that day (11 John Sp which He certainly will do if we have been faith- ful. Salvation is wholly of grace and the same to all, but the rewards will be according to our works (Rev. xxii. 12). Note the wonderful statement in Verses 17. 18. that no man could take His life from Him. but that He laid it down of Himself, having power to do film, and to take it again. His was the only life that could not be taken from Him. It is true that they killed Him but it was because He allowed them to do it. He willingly suii'ered all that was put upon Him, leaving us an ex- ample that we might follow His steps, who, when he was reviled. reviled not again; when He suflered He threat- ened not. but committed Himself to Him who Judgeth righteously. Then, having left us a perfect example and having no sin of His own for He was without guile, He took the sinner'l place and suaered in our stead. His own self bearing our sins in His own body on the tree (1 Pet. ti. 21-24l. Hirellngs seek their own weltan rather than that of the flock. but true followers of the Good Shepherd seek the welfare of the sheep. not consid- ering themselves. David took his life in his hand when he delivered part of his flock from the lion and the bear. but the Son of David actually lafl downHisliretorHlsflock. Wbmfio 3 I? PAGE 3.
