PEACE MUST
BRING RIGHTS
FOR BELGIUM
Message Of Belgian Govern.
ment to King Says Vic
tory Worth Sacrifices.

The Belgian government in its New
Year address to the King made public
last night reiterates. after three years
of war. that there can be no peace un-
til Belgium is restored and repaired.
The addresses Of the cabinet and
Parliament assert that the ssacrifices
of Belgium will have been happily
made IL they will assure the security
of Europe, and perhaps OF the world
hereafter.
your majesty" said Premier Bro
queville. has so completely identified
your fate with that Of the Belgian
people that the wishes which we are
asking for your own happiness are the
same which arise from our hearts for
our country.
Hope 1918 Brings Victory.
May 1918, sire, be the year of JUS
tice and reparation. May the King
enter his capital as a victor"
The Count dAllviella. vice president
of the senate, declared:
The bond uniting Belgium with the
rest of the allies Is growing ever
closer and the conviction is more and
more felt \that with them we are
bound to fall or to win. to win so as
to bring about a peace which will not
make vain the dreadful hardships in
fiicted upon our country, peace which
will protect us with the rest Of Eu-
rope. perhaps the rest OF the world,
against the renewal Of such catas-
trophies"
NJ. Van Cloemputte. president Of the
chamber Of representatives predicts
in 1918 the restoration of Belgium in

Billy Sunday expects during the sec

here to make his social debut in

So on the afternoon of -" ETC., and

the other members Of the Sunday
party will invade the homes of Wash

ing his revival and will carry the
Gospel message to those who, for
various reasons, dislike TO mingle with
crowds and who, probably. will not
be among those present" at the tab
ernacle services.
Acts Like .Hlghbrow.,
When the revival is under way,
Billy. and his co-workers will set
aside each Thursday morning for
what are termed ''parlor meetings

Washingtonians. In New York sim

Atlanta the "parlor meetings" were
in the residences of the Governor of
Georgia, the mayor of Atlanta, the
homes of the social leaders and in
other representative residences.
