"'N'othlnft would Insure us a vic
tory so surely as the call of prayer
and repentance and a response to It
by the nation," asserted Rev. H. H.
Hubbell In a stirring; address at the
prayer service at the Christian church
this morning-. The pastor's whole

for righteousness and for "Retting
right with flod," which he said was
the greatest stride possible In bring
ing pence for the world.
Out pectple have been blessed as
hss no other nation, the speaker as
serted. We have prospered In all ma
terial ways but our prosperity has
led us unto idesls of self-exultation
and we have forgotten Ood and
turned to the things of the world. All
discord, both Individual strire and
world war. come from worldllness
and evil, he declared.
The speaker recalled how Daniel
hsd called upon his Ood for forgive
ness and help In his time of need and
of how Abraham Lincoln. In his
darkest hours. Issued Just such a
proclamation of humility and sincer
ity as hus President Wilson for this
day. lu-v. Hubbell pointed out that
the men and women of faith respond
ed to President Lincoln's call, and
victory came.
llev. Hubbell preceded his talk with
the reading of the President's procla
mation, and the service was closed
with the singing of America.
Rev. R. K- Oornall presided and
led the reading of the plea to the
Father for mercy, forgiveness, guid
ance and deliverance from all evil
and for a blessing upon all who servs
In our srmles and navies. This was
followed by prayers for our country
and for those towhom is committed
the responsibility of our government
that they may act with wisdom, cour
m. and right Judgment; for our sol
diers and our sailors; and fur grace
and strength that wa may all do our
duly to llod and to our country.

Tho Americana repulsed th fifth
successive counter attack against
Cantigny last night. Yankee artillery
responded to the German barrage with,
heavy and effective (Ire. Machine

near American positions are rapidly
strengthening. Infantry and engineer
are digging In regardless of constant
shelling.
All attacks were easily beaten off.
The persistent German recapturing

though, the Germans advanced in ,
thick waves in each attack, only one
wave succeeded in reaching the Am

and then air. infantry and machine
guns heavily scored. ' Survivors
reaching the lines were bayonetted or
shot. Those remaining fled in disor

other attacks. ' As the waves advanced ;
light and heavy guns deliverd fierce

the first and second waves. The Ger
