Never was there a day in all his

to such a pitch and when every word
of news about the details of peace
was so anXously awaited and read
with such interest as on Monday.
And the best of it all was that no
one was disappointed as The Ard

and gave the people the very latest
news at frequent intervals. News

centration, the men, who had only
such cover as was afforded by the

thrown into some confusion. At
that moment Colonel Parker came
down the road on horseback. I'm

sufficient national unity to back it

Chinese, has been back of the
reluctance of our officials to give
Japan free hand in the Orient with

Huns Warned of
AmOtheY Winner

New York, June 9.-The German
people are being warned that they
must prepare for another winter Of
war. In announcing that this was
probable, Conrad Haussman. a pro-
gressive member of the German
reichstag, said in a speech at SUIT
CART as reported by the Berlin Tage-
blatt, that 1t is necessary to give the
warning to prevent public disappoint-
ment. Germany he said saw through
the desire of the Russian upper house
to rule the empire. Never he added,
will salvation come from these SUI
per Prussians. The Prussian upper
house was arming to storm against
Kuehlman (foreign MINISTRY and the
imperial government. Kuehlmann
had fallen into the bad graces Of the
supermen. He was exposed to a con-
contracted attack Of those who con-
sidered negotiations during which one
pounds the table as the most salu~
tary.

like the estate Of an incompetent
person, have passed into the hands
Of more capable administrators.
Thomas F. Millard, author and
student Of Oriental affairs, thus
summarized the condition of affairs
In 1915:
with one exception, the powers
have interests elsewhere that are
now considered more important or
more pressing than China's fate.
Japan is the exception. The China
question is to Japan the most i'm
portant issue in the world. d
Turning one way, China by her
bulk and greater resources in time
may supersede Japan as leader Of
the Orient. Turning another way,
China may be made to transfuse her
latent strength and wealth into the
veins of Japan"
Jingoes who have been raising the
alarm Of yellow perilism" have not
taken sufficient account Of affairs
abroad. Japan is fully engaged
with managing a disrupted Russia
and a tottering China. After the
war, when all the policies Of the
nations Of the world are laid on the
table for revision, provisions will be
made to meet contingencies that do
not appear now.

in the Swedish Lutheran Emanuel

not to enter the proposed United

Council Of the Lutheran Church in
North America, Of which organiza,.

The latter MOI was u natural Sc
