MaRien, and Stough's Home subject Breakers," was a "Home lecture in which he reviewed the solemnity of marriage, the rights of the child to be well born, the importance of parental authority, value of the hickory stick, the inefficiency of some of modern psychological methods of education, with scathing attacks on the divorce evil and the lax methods carried on in many American homes of to-day. Courtship Is No Joke He impressed the importance of proper selection in marriage and said that courtship is not the joke it is made to be in the comic papers, but is the primary step in the formation of the home, the foundation of civilization. He emphasized especially the Scripture's command, "Be ye ot unequally yoked with an unbeliever." as meaning that a girl should not marry an un-Christian man. "Don't ever marry a man to reform him. because what a man won't do before marriage he will not do said Dr.

Stough. He spoke of the more than one million divorce cases in the last two decades in the United States and the two and a half million of children made "orphans" thereby and declared that ministers have no right to marry some couples without making investigations. Children Should Be Well Born "There should be a new conception of the responsibility of parenthood, that the child has the right to be born well and not by accident," shouted the evangelist. "The child that came into the world with the brand 'not wanted' has the greatest handicap conceivable. on Page Brumbaugh's Friend Is Now Being Boomed For Mayor of Quaker City LOUIS J.

The fighting there has all but ceased and the tide of battle has rolled southward, leaving behind it the countless dead whose torn bodies are stretched thickly over many a field. South of Ypres, on the line extending down over the French border to Arras, the Germans are preparing another furious onslaught, spurred on by their emperor. The main battle there, upon which depends so much for the Germans and allies alike, has not yet begun.

Pending decisive development on any of the European fields of battle, the fall of Tsing-Tau held first place in the attention of military men today. Official reports from Tokio show that it was not without desperate resistance that the German garrison, vastly outnumbered by British and Japanese, gave up the fight. days the German forces had been subjected to a withering fire from land and sea. At last the central fort fell before the impetuous attack of the Japanese, whose bravery, says Tokio, rivaled that displayed in the historic charges on Port says the official report from Tokio, "the flag of surrender ran up in the morning breeze on the weather bureau mount, towering above the sea and land." May Run Down Warships With the fighting at Tsing Tau at an end, the question is raised as to what Japan will do next. It is suggested that she will now in inaugurate an offensive naval campaign on the Pacitic, employing the fleet released from the bombardment of Tsing Tau in an attempt to run down the German warships which wrought such havoc to British shipping interests and defeated the British fleet of Chile.

Notwithstanding the Russian claims to an overwhelming success in the East, there is nothing to show that the German and Austrian forces have met great disaster, and although they were compelled retreat, they apparently were able to fall back upon strongly fortified positions selected in advance. Russia, in an official statement, makes the claim that the resistance of the enemy has been broken after fighting of several weeks along a front of 350 miles. This campaign has now been closed, in opinion the Russian military authorities, who say that a new period of the war will be inaugurated. Of the fighting on land and sea brought about by Turkey's entrance into the war little was learned to-day. Turkish officials at Smyrna are said to have bade further seizures of vessels of hostile countries and the Russian general staff in Caucasia reports that the Turkish forces which attempted an offensive movement have been driven back with heavy losses.

Paris suggests that the Germans are making an important change in their military tactics. Mass formation is said to have been abandoned in the fighting in Flanders, infantrymen attacking in open order and seeking all available cover.

FATE IN JUDGE'S HANDS Max Morgenthau, Who Killed Farmer Rupp, Waives Jury Right Special to The Telegraph Carlisle, Nov. 7.

The odd spectacle of the final scenes in a first degree murder trial, staged in an empty courtroom and with no jury present, was presented here. Max Morganthau has pleaded guilty to killling J. M. Rupp, and a Pennsylvania act allows the judge presiding to fix the degree as first or second without a jury if the defendant prefers. The defense concentrated attention on the fact that time allowed by the witnesses for the killing did not permit Morganthau to "lay in wait." I Briefs were submitted and a verdict will probably be rendered by Judge Sadler within two weeks.
