compromising attitude. desiring to-

while Austria, altho more conciliatory3
because of internal conditions, neverF
theless is unremittingly faithful to heEs
German ally.
A representative French view is
that the central powers are revealed
in the speeches as trying to drive a
wedge between the allied nations by
attempting to open separate debates
with each and that Chancellor Won
Hertling, in particular has made an
effort to eliminate the question of Al
sace-Lorraineif from President Wilson's
peace program.
Some of the foreign commentators
attach considerable Importance to in
vitation of the German chancellor for
continued conversations on the sub
ject of peace terms. One striking,
view is that of an Important London
newspaper which regards the two
speeches a combined diplomatic
offensive against the entente allies,
with the attack chiefly aimed at Press
ident Wilson.

BIG JEWISH SABBATH
collections in Synagogues Today Go
to Fund to Restore Palestine.

Today is a Jewish Sabbath of deep
est significance to all members of the
Jewish people, for today the collec-
tons taken up in the synagogues all
over the world will be diverted to the
fund for the restoration of Palestine
as the home and country of the race
of Jews.
Jacob DeHaas, secretary of the
Zionists organization, has sent out this
announcement from his Headquarters
in New York, DeHaas says:
This Sabbath, the Sabbath of the
Exodus, as it is known in our calen-
dar year, commemorate the escape
of our people from the bondage of
Egyptian imperialism some $500 years
ago. This year congregations in syna-
agogues all over the world will hear
from the Torah the familiar story of
Exodus, the great historic movement
of the Jewish people for self determi-
nation, with a new emotion for at last
after 1000 years, the ancient home
land is to be restored to us.
Surely every Jew will realize the
tremendous significance of this occa-
ton and will contribute generously to
the fund for the re-esta blishment of
the Jewish state in Palestine, which
means so much for the future of our
people and the preservation of its re-
ligious and cultural ideas

AlRPLANE RUNS AWAY
Government Machine at Camp Doni-
phan Wrecks Three Motor Cars.

Camp Doniphan, Okla, Jan 20
One of the big observation and train
ing airplanes at the aviation school
ran away Friday afternoon and. after
wrecking three motor cars, plunged
its nose in the ground and stopped.
The pilot and observer unstrapDed
themselves and stepped out of the
mangled machine. No one was in
jured dangerously. Approximately
one thousand persons were present to
witness the runaway and several of
them only escaped serious injury by
falling to the ground and letting the
machine skim over them.
One of the wires on a wing broke
while the plane was in the air and
the observer had to make a forced
landing. A large crowd imm edia tely
collected and all the jitneys stopped to
let their passengers get a closeup view
OF one of the monarchs of the air.
Mechanics from the aviation school
fixed the plane, backed it up and
started the engine. All starts are
made against the wind, and the pilot
shot over the ground right toward
the crowd and the motor cars. think

collision snapped the propeller blades
and wrecked the wings

Some Churches Plan Evening

MINISTER'S MADE AGREEMENT
They Promised banner To Hold
Only Morning Services.
Residence Meetings Planned by
Some Congregations.

DIR. CIV. Maggart, president of the
Ministerial Union of Topeka, an
nounced a few days ago that an agree
ment had been reached between the
Ministerial Union and Fuel Director
Danner whereby the churches OF the
city agreed to forego their usual Sun
day evening and week day services in
the interests of fuel conservation.
1t was supposed at the time that all
of the churches of the city would
abide by the terms of the agreement.
especially as the churches of the city
took considerable exception to the ac-
cusation that they were burning nee
essary coal for the purpose of heating
great buildings while tproclaiming
their patriotism in loud tones From
the church notices for tomorrow it a p
pears that a few of the churches of
the city are either unaware of the
agreement between Danner and .he
Ministerial Union or that these few
churches are deliberately ignoring the
agreement. -
Several Violate Agreement.
Tho the Mt Olive Methodist chur CHI
announces that it's meetings tomorl ow
will all be held in the Sunday school
room, yet the bare face that any even
ing services at all are held in the
church is in reality a violation of the
agreement that specified that no even
ing meetings should be held in the
churches, it is commended.
j. w. Hart, pastor of Redden chapel.
announces that Sunday school will
be held in the chapel at Second and
Monroe streets at o'clock in the aft
ernoon. 1t seems that there will be
no church service in the chapel Sun
day, but it will be necessary to heat
the building for the Sunday school 1t
is probable that a O'Clock service
might De classed as an evening service.
II. II. Given, pastor of the First
United Brethren church, in his an
nouncement indicates a commendabIe
spirit in compliance with the agree
ment, tho he announces evening serv-
ices tomorrow. Doctor Given states
in his announcement that the big audi
torium at the First United Brethren
church will not be heated for. even
the morning service, and in the eve

parsonage at 112 East Twelfth street.

gary'S war aims.
More than that he will probably

of allied war aims-the very thing for
which President Wilson has been con-

was learned this framing of a joint al

cipal problem before the Forthcoming
allied conference in Paris.
Colonel House, as dispatches stated
at the time of his visit to London and
brought to Europe President Wilson's
urgent plea for joint war aims
pledge. The matter was discussed at
Paris meetings of allied statesmen.
There were several conflicting opin-
ions as to certain pIanks in that war
platform.
Settle Points of Difference.
Since the Paris meetings these
points of difference have been cleared
away. The recent visit to Paris of
Premier Orlando of Italy has resulted,
it was understood here today, in Italy
alignment with the ultra program en-
dorsed by Premier Lloyd George and
President Wilson.
Italy, it was authoritatively report
ed, is now willing to abandon her
claim for Dalmatia
Alsace-Lorraine will be the problem
which the forthcoming conference
must settle. France is the only one
of the big powers in the allied Camp
which has not recently formally
pledged explicit acceptance to a lib
eral democratic program
Frances complete adherence to such
program has been expressed in votes
mier Clemenceau himself has been the
one allied premier not to speak In
some quarters here today it was limited
that Clemenceau's silence had been
designed; that the allies have foreseen
the necessity of having great leaders

thru which to announce complete and

missing Is General Verdict.
See Effort To Entangle Allies

Paris, Jan. 26.-Chancellor Won
Hertling's speech is consiered in Off
cial circles as confirming the suppo-
sition that General Won Ludendo, n,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and the
pan-Germans are debating the Ger
man government policy. The chancel-
lor's remarks concerning Belgium are
taken as confirmation of what former
Ambassador Gerard said of the fer
mer German Chancellor Dr. Won Beth
mann Holwegs declaration on the
same subject. The intention appears
clearly on the part of the Germans TO
seek to treat separately with each OF
their antagonists. This is indicated by
Chancellor Won Hertling's reference to
France and the eventual conversation
with France about the evacuation of
occupied territory and also regarding
Poland, which Germany wants to con-
slider as a question between Poland
and the central powers. with which no
other powers have anything to say.
