AMERICANS HOLDING
SECTOR OF FRONT
HEAVIEST BOMBARDMENT OF
MANY DAYS SATURDAY NIGHT
MET SHELL FOR SHELL.
VEIL IS LIFTED BY CENSOR
Newspaper Correspondents Permitted
to Visit Virtually Any Point
Within Zone of Fire.
With American Army in France.—
A German barrage fire at sundown
Saturday night opened the heaviest
bombardment of many days along
the American sector, the American
artillery replying shell for shell as
the firing of the heavy guns spread
along several kilometers of front.
Two Americans were killed and
nine wounded during the bombard-
ment, and one suffered shell shock.
American Troops Occupy Sector.
American troops now are occupy-
ing a sector of the Lorraine front in
France. This announcement is per-
mitted by the military censors.
The correspondents permanently
accredited to the American army
have been informed that they may
proceed to virtually any point within
the zone of fire except the trenches,
without escort and without special
permission. Arrangements were made
whereby newspaper men may proceed
.to any brigade headquarters a few
kilometers behind the trenches, after
first reporting their presence within
the zone to the headquarters of the
division of which the brigade is a
part.
The whole American sector is re-
sounding with the boom of guns. Air-
men became exceedingly active along
the American front on Saturday. En-
emy snipers wounded two Americans
slightly.
Artlillery and Snipers.
The artillery and snipers also have
become increasingly active. Ameri-
can 75s are harassing traffic behind
the enemy trenches. The Germans
are confining their fire largely to the
American trenches.
The fact that American troops were
in the trenches in Lorraine was re-
vealed by the German war office
three months ago. At that time, ac-
cording to an official German an-
nouncement, the Americans were on
the front at the Rhine-Marne canal,
which intersects the battle line near
the German border due east of Nan-
cy. This announcement was made
in the official .report from Berlin of
the first German raid on the Ameri-
can positions, in which three Ameri-
cans were killed, five wounded and
12 captured.
The eastern end of the battle line
in France and Belgium runs through
French and German Lorraine. French
Lorraine, in which is the American
sector, is included in the departments
of the Meuse, the capital of which
is Verdun. The length of the front
in French Lorraine is about 150
miles.
Strikers Threatened With Death.
London.—The latest news concern-
ing the German strike situation is
confirmatory of the Berlin announce-
ment that the movement is dying out.
Saturday’s Berlin newspapers reach-
ing Holland and Denmark failed to
throw much additional light on ac-
tual happenings in Germany. Drastic
military measures even, according to
a report from Copenhagen, the threat
of a death sentence in the event of
conviction by court-martial for refus-
al to obey the military order to re-
sume work on Monday, seems to have
/ had the effect of breaking down the
German strike movement.
Wheat In Australia Awaiting Ships.
Washington.—Millions of bushels of
wheat are available in Australia to
-feed the armies of the allies, if only
ships can be obtained, Crawford
Vaughn, former premier of South
Australia, told 28 state directors of
the public service reserve, who are
aiding the campaign to enroll work-
ers for shipbuilding. “The prime need
of the allies is ships,” Mr. Vaughn
said. “There are today 300,000,000
bushels of wheat in my country wait,
ing for tonnage.”
Can’t Profiteer on Flour Substitutes.
Washington—Unwarranted price in-
creases in wheat flour substitutes will
not be permitted. The food adminis-
tration has given warning to dealers
that they must not take advantage of
temporary shortages in other cereals
brought on by the heavy demand the
new baking regulations has caused.
Many complaints reached Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover that dealers in
the substitutes have raised their
prices. “Mills of the country,” said
Mr. Hoover, “are prepared to meet
the greater demand.”
Argentina Excited On War Prospects.
Buenos Aires.—The minister of war
has recalled Argentina’s military at-
taches from Berlin and Vienna. In
political circles this action is regard-
ed as significant and connected with
the sinking of the Argentine steam-
ship, Ministro Irriendo Jan. 26. The
Argentine minister to France has con-
firmed the fact that the steamship
was flying the Argentine flag when
sunk. The assumption here is that
Germany does not intend to keep her
promises in regard to Argentina

PROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAYSCIOOL
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course of the Moody
Bible Institute, Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
■6==============aB
LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 10
JESUS CHOOSES THE TWELVE.
LESSON TEXT-Mark 3:7-25.
GOLDEN TEXT—And he ordained
twelve, that they should be with him, and
that he might send them forth to preach.
—Mark 3:14.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR
TEACHERS-Matt. 10:1-4; Luke -6:12-16;
John 15:15-27; Matt. 5:13-10; 16:24-25; John
17:6-26; II Tim. 4:7-8.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus chooses twelve
helpers. ?
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-The twelve
and what we know about them. .
SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—What it
means to be a disciple of Jesus.
No man can alone accomplish any
great task. Every great leader has
been blessed by one or more equally
great helpers. Luther had his Melanc-
thon; Wesley, his brother Charles,
Whitfield and others; Moody had
Whittle, Bliss, Sankey, Towner and
more. These leaders but followed the
example of our Lord.- Jesus’ ministry
made him much observed and greatly
multiplied his duties and burdens.
When, therefore, he chose these dis-
ciples, he desired not only to obtain
help and to begin to teach those who
were to take his place, but, like every
other act, he desired to teach a lesson
to those who were so carefully observ-
ing him. In verse 14 we are told that
he chose twelve, which was a signifi-
cant number, corresponding to the
twelve tribes, and at once confirmed
his assumption to the Messiahship and
meant that the wondrous prophesies
were being fulfilled. It also served to
stimulate those upon whom the 'choice
fell. Jesus, as we know from other
passages, retired to the mountains to
pray. The call came from on high
(v. 13), and those called “went up” to
him for preparation and for quali-
fication. The call is a purpose-
ful one, for it is not enough to go up;
we must also go down and out, hence
these are “sent” (vv. 14, 15). Only
those who are authorized, however, are
sent. . Those whom Jesus sent out were
to found a new kingdom and to do a
greater work than merely to judge the '
people, because they were not only to
judge results, but they were to change
results by altering causes; hence they
had power over demons, even as the
Master, for evil has no rights. The
source of their power is to be Jesus,
for he is to be with them, our own pro-
tection as well (Matt. 28:20) ; and their
power is to grow with its usage, for
we learn by doing. These men were
originally united, not by a creed but
by an ideal; not by a doctrine or teach-
ing, but by actions; not by a subscrip-
tion to a confession. At once they met
with conflict. First of all by a blas-
phemous unbelief. The Holy Ghost is
no more holy than Jesus; but, if we
-slander him in his veiled condition and
before his unfinished work, great shall
be the penalty. Those who hate God
shut out the light. Secondly, by a con-
flict with misdirected zeal. There were
those about Jesus who watched oyer
him, whereas rather they should have
had him watching over them (v. 21).
On the other hand, the scribes accused
him of being possessed of devils. They
attributed to the devil the work that
the Holy Spirit and Son were doing.
What a strange picture! Friends seek-
ing to restrain, enemies accusing and
relatives interposing, yet nothing can
stop the onward march of the kingdom
of God. Luke tells us that these twelve
were selected from among the rest of
the disciples. They, were to have a
greater nearness and more extended
authority and, of course, greater test-
ings than the others who were disci-
ples or “learners.” These disciples are
to be the light of the world. The Chris-
tian, “who is the salt of the earth,”
loses his identity and will lose his salt-
ness and become like the world, if he
keeps not near unto Christ. As light
is a good thing to preserve, purify and
to cleanse, so are the Christians, yet
there is a greater thing, when we ener-
gize, direct and believe. This is what
the apostles were to do. The aggres-
sive Peter and the other “Son of
Thunder,” the reflective, cautious
Thomas, these were the men who were
sent forth as public heralds (John
1:36.) Some they are to win by per-
sonal solicitation (James 1:41). Oth-
ers by public proclamation (Acts
2:39-41.) Men are saved through men,
and those whom he sends forth are
those who have first learned to follow.
Their work is made permanent only as
“they abide in him.” God wants the'
hearing ear, the believing heart and
the confessing mouth (Rom. 10:14).
The one who would preach Jesus and
have power in his name must first of
all “be with him,” that is, he must en-
joy a deep, abiding, victorious life of
fellowship with Jesus. Jesus gave di-
rections to those he sent out, first to
preach; second, to heal illness; third,
to cast out demons.
Our mission is to both body and
soul, but Christ puts the spiritual
needs first (vv. 14, 15; see Matt.
10:7, 8.) The difficulty with many
healers of today is that they invert
this order. Those whom Jesus sends
out are to offer his kingdom to men
and not command men to receive it.
Their work will bring variance upon
the earth, even among those in the
same family; but those who will not
go are not “worthy of me." Jesus saw
plainly that the victories of his king-
dom: were often hindered rather than
helped by the presence of great
crowds (v. 12).
