A few weeks ago China was
about to have another uprising over
king or president but things have
quieted down now as far as we
know. We can never tell when we
will have to flee for our lives. When

are like wild animals. Staying what

The mission work in South China

are being opened all the time. The

''In the midst OF life there is death.
During the last week, and since the

many saddened relatives left to mourn
the death of loved ones. 'Tis but the

death. The funeral was held Sunday

The deceased was born, in Todes-

Dec, 26-Germany and her allies
Austra-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey
today replied to the note of President
Wilson in which they asked that the
belligerent ,nations state the aims for
which they were fighting. A proposal
is made by the central powers that q
conference of the delegates of all bel
lgerents be held Immediately in neu-
trail city. The task Of preventing fu--
ture wars, the official statement says,
can be begun after the end of the pres
ent struggle. The answer which also
contains the reply of Austro Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, says:
"The high minded suggestion made
by the president of the United States
Of America in order to create basis
for the establishment of lasting
peace has been received and consid-
cred by the imperial government in
the friendly spirit which was expressed
in the presidents communication.
"The president points out that which
he has at heart and leaves open the
choice of road.
"To the imperial government, an i'm.
mediate exchange of views seems to
be the most appropriate road in order
to reach the desired result.

the declaration made On December
18th. which offered hand for peace
negotiations. to propose an immediate

preventing further wars can be be-
gun only after the end of the present
struggle of the nations.
ut will, when this moment shall
have come, be ready with pleasure to
collaborate entirely with the United
States in this exalted task"
The answer of the central powers
concludes with the usual diplomatic
terms of politeness.
