PARIS AROUSED
OVER GAS PROSPECT
Proposed Shutting Off of the Supply
Would Cripple the Industries
Very Much.

Paris, June IA decree ordering the
shutting off of gas for l3 hours daily
has caused CONSERVATION in Paris where
many industries are depending on gas
for light and power. 1t is now an
nounced, however, that the measure may
not be applied to the capital and its
suburbs, and it is considered doubtful if
it will be applied anywhere. The news
papers point out so many exceptions that
will have to be made that an application
OF the decree appears impossible.

BRITISH WAR AIMS
TOLD IN RUSSIA
"Liberating Population Oppressed by
Alien Tyranny'-President Will
sons Policy Given Approval.

/ London, June l2.--In reply to the Rus
sian governments request for state
ment OF the British war aims, Grea
Britain has forwarded to Petrograd
note in which is expressed hearty ac
ceptance and approval of the principles
which President Wilson laid down in hi:
historic message to Congress. The Brit
ish government believes, broadly speak
ing, that the agreements made from time
to time with Britain's allies are con
formsbe to these standards.
The purpose of Great Britain at the
outset, says the note, was to defeat the
existence of the country and enforce re-
spect for international agreements. Since
then there has'been added that of lib
Grating populations oppressed by alien
tyranny" The note bespeaks not only
the liberation of Poland by Russia but
of that section of Poland within the do
minions of the Germanic empires.
Following is the text of Great Brit
aims reply to the request from the
Russian government of its war aims:
"In the proclamation to the Russian
people enclosed with the note it is said
that free Russia does not purpose to
dominate other peoples or take from
them their national patrimony or forci-
bly, occupy foreign territory. In this
settlement the British government heart
lily concur. They did not enter the war
as a war of conquest; they are not con-
tinuing it for such object. Their pur-
pose at the outset was to defend the
existence of their country and enforce
respect for international engagements.
To those objects have now been added
that Of liberating populations oppressed
by alien tyranny.
'They heartily rejoice, therefore, that
free Russia has announced her inten-
tion of liberating Poland, not only Po-
land ruled by the old Russian autocracy,
but equally that within the dominion Of
the Germanic empires. In this enter
prise the British democracy bids Rus
sia Godspeed.
Beyond everything we must seek such
settlement as will secure the happiness
and eontentment of peoples and take
away all legitimate causes of future
war
"The British government heartily join
with their Russian allies in their ac-
,eptance and approval of the principles
aid down by President Wilson in his
historic message to the American Con-
yress. These are the aims on which !
he British peoples are fighting. These
ire the principles by which their war pol
cy is and will be guided.
"The British government believes that,
,roadly speaking, the agreements they
rave from time to time made with their
lilies are conformable TO these stand
rds, but if the Russian government so
esire they are quite ready with their
lilies to examine and, if need be, TO re-
Use these agreements"

DON'T Be AsLACk[R'
HAD GOOD RESULTS

Don't be Stacker" was the sub
ject of an inspiring sermon preached
by Rev. ]. A. Ansley, at the First
Baptist church, at the IL a. m. service
Sunday, and it was pronounced al
most as inspiring as the one the
same minister delivered at night at
this same church, when the home
guards and large congregation
were present.
One of the results of the sermon
was call to arms to lift debt of
$1100 from the church, and within
fifteen minutes after the invitation
to enlist subscriptions to lift the debt
was given, the entire amount had
been subscribed.
DR.. Ansley was exceedingly pleased
with results, "There are no slack
ers in the First Baptist church," he
said to- The Journal last night. "and
we are going TO keep our church free
from debt in the future. I tell you,
our people responded grandly."
There was universal rejoicing
when it became known that the full
amount of the debt had been sub
scribed and more had been known to
have been available. One patriotic
member of the church is said to
have held out the promise of ten per
cent, of the debt on his account, and
when this became known, subscrip-
tions followed fast. Practically all
present aided materially in raising
the Subscription and last night all
members felt good over the clean
slate they were able to show. "And
it's going to remain that way in the
future, too" is the generally accept
ed slogan.
