CLASS ADOPTS ORPHAN
W. Wilson Students OF Westminster
Church In Patriotic Action.

SuurCh IN PatrtOftc Action.
The L. ". Wilson Bible class of the
Westminster Presbyterian church held
business meeting last night on the
Washburn campus and voted to adopt
a French orphan. Several individual
members OF the class indicated their
intentions of making other adoptions.
Following the business session, ten
big watermelons from the farm of
Gordon Hooper were served. A por-
ton of the melons were donated by
Mr.. Hooper.
The action taken by the class to
divert all class dues and contributions
for the year to the French war orphan
work, was the result of suggestions
made by DR.. S. E. Gilman, who has
been an enthusiastic supporter of the
idea since the war started.
Other members of the class who
will probably adopt French children
are Robert Weir and B. r. Stark,
president of the class. w. D. Wallace
proposed forming units of four or five
men, eight or ten ladies to a group,
and each group or unit pledge the
support or a portion of the support
of other orphans.
Activities of the class in sending
literature to the Philippines was voted
discontinued until the war is won.

Petrograd. Jan. 2f.--M. Tchernofi
elected chairman OF the constituent
assembly by the social revolutionlsts.
declares that the constituent assem-
bly, should Immediately call con-
ference OF all the entente allies to
consider war aims
NJ. Tchernor granted an interview
to the correspondent during the mid
night recess.
What do you think OF the si;ua
tom" he was asked.
DO you think the Bolsheviki will
dissolve the constituent assembly,"
NO" said the chairman. Il do
not think they will do that before
the congress OF the workmens and
soldiers deputies assemblies. In
the meantime they will try to find a
way out OF their embarrassment and
continue their secession
you desire to discuss peace first.
What is your program regarding
that question:"
Our party's position on the ques-
ton OF peace is that the constituent
assembly should Immediately call a
conference OF all the entente allies
TO consider the aims of the war. We
expect that at such a conference they
would state clearly and most ex-
plicitly their aims and would try to
harmonize them with the democratic
principles OF the Russian revolu-
tion."
'Do you think Russia can con-
tinue the war II Germany refuses
peace on democratic terms?" Tch-
ernoff was asked He replied:
Everybody says that Russia can
not fight because Of the extreme
state OF Discrimination. All know
that the decision In this war will be
on the western front. But Russia
can act as a magnet to draw Ger
man forces and prevent their being
thrown over to the western front.
The Russian army may retreat, but
In doing so will benefit the allies by
diverting the Germans deeper and
deeper into Russian territory which
would be no gain for them"
