of the Enteute powers.

has studied the political history of the

Entente has declared the rule of the
Turk in Europe must come to an end.
Indeed, the change is long overdue and
was needed century ago. 90. -

He jOurneyed far during that time.

the hollow voice of the condemned man
came from his cell. He prayed; but
most he exclaimed against something

ask for it. And it was one of the
strangest circumstances imagine bile

II was against this clothing that Yee
exclaimed. He spurned the garments

tried to find IL. When Mr.. McDufie

government toward the recent
speech of President Wilson, pro-
posing a league of nations to pre-

representative of the Associated

In its general tone the statement
was friendly not alone to the Unit
ed States and its President, but to
the plan advanced by Mr.. Wilson.
The official statement goes out of
its way to make plain the sympathy
of the Cars government with the
ideas and the ideals voiced by the
President, and makes frequent ref

hearty sympathy" with which the
address was received in this coun-
try. H., - ..s~s. y .a' " 81,

: Russia would meet with hearty
welcome, any move that could and
would bring about the much de-

renee of the war, Russia in no way

as history shows this government
did its best to avoid being dragged
into the strife. 49,.

which is the liberation of all
