HUNS SEEKING TO
DRAW u. S. FROM
EUROPEAN ALLIES

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Germany is
continuing with subtle persistence her
effort to secure the support Of the Unit
ed states as special counsel at the peace
table.
Rv trying 10 create the impression
that in the United States Germany mas
q lenient friend at court, the govern
ment at Berlin is seeking to start con-
troversies at the peace conference be-
tween America and the other democratic
nations. There is undoubted danger 10
Americas world prestige in this ell
fort of the Germans to isolate America
from the allies Hitherto, world pres
tige has had little interest for Ameri-
cans, but now that the United States
NAV be destined to play the dominant
mart in the forthcoming league of ma
tionS. the inequalities OF international
leadership have a new value for this
country.
Leadership among the nations is a
intuitive ability to do the right thing
at the right time.
Germany is trying to develop the
notion that American leadership means
America must be addressed s favored
nation apart from other nations and as
the worlds commander-in-chief. In this
idea lies the germ OF destruction OF
full cooperative effort between Anerl-
ca and the allies at the peace CONFER
ence.
America cannot allow Germany to
single this country out from among the
worlds democracies for the purpose of
addressing her notes and petitions eX-
clusively to Washington. International
suspicious and jealousles are as easily
aroused as personal suspicion and Jeal-
ousies. Germany has traded on this Tor
years. II is wholly to her advantage
TO continue doing so now.
What Germany must beg to feed the
nation that so lately had spent all its
energies to overthrow democracy should
be asked from the world. What Ger
many has to pledge in MITIGATION of
the sentence for her terrible crimes
against humanity should be spoken not
to America as an intercessor. but TO
all the victims of German lust and cru
city. II the Berlin government re-
Seives encoura cement in its plan to
ignore Europe and deal as exclusively
As possible with the United States. Ho-
henzollern in hts Dutch waiting place,
will grin with sardonic satisfaction.
The most difficult work Of a coalition
is not making war. but making peace.
MANY a beaten nation has saved Itself
bv distrupting coalitions at the peace
conference. The stake is too large for
Germany to neglect any gamblers de-
vice that holds a similar possibility of
success now.

NEWS PRINT PAPER
CONDITIONS ARE
STILL SERIOUS

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-That news print
paper conditions are still serious and
that there is little likelihood of any
reduction of prices was the opinion ex-
pressed here today by Thomas Z. Dom
nelly, chairman of the paper commit
tee of the war industries board.
Book papers have better tone now."
saird Mr.. Donnelly, but some manufac-
turers claim that their prices as fixed
by the board. are too low on news print.
We do not expect TO make any decisions
on lifting the ban on the establishment
OF the new newspapers until news print
conditions are better. All paper prices
are about as low as they can get at this
time. 1 am of the opinion that for the
present news print prices will remain
stationary"
Mr.. Donnelly left today for Washing
ton TO attend a meeting of the paper
section which will consider book paper
n-ires and conditions.

RAINBOW DIVISION
MAY GET HOME
BY CHRISTMAS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Rain
bow and New England divisions are
believed likely to be back in the states
by Christmas.
With the exception of the first reg
ular division they were the first troops
to land in France. And, while prior
ity Of return will not entirely follow,
priority of original shipment, these two
divisions are likely to get back first.
The war department, however, has
made no announcement yet as to the
probable time of Yeturn for any unit
and it's plans are unsettled.
The war plans section of the general
staff is giving serious attention to the
matter of a standing army after de-
mobilization and also to the problem
Of universal training, These subjects
have been before the section for long
time and probably will be presented to
Secretary Baker soon.
According to Bakers Interpretation of
the present military status, all enlist
ments will close with the end of the
war emergency, unless congress acts be-
fore that time Hence, it is believed
that the war plans section decisions will
be embodied in legislation for congress
soon.
Congress will determine in the last
analysis how great a standing army the
United States should have and whether
or not universal military training SHOULD
be followed now that the war is ended.
The regular army establishment, prior
TO the war. amounted to about 100000
officers and men.
War department officials believe uni

stituted, but they are doubtful about
he tone of public opinion and incline
10 the belief that the public will prefer
to settle back to the pre-war status.

METHODISTS DISCUSS
RAISING GREAT SUM
FOR MISSION WORK
"TOO Much Cash in ChriSten-
dOmr Too Little in Heathen-
DOM" Says Bishop Gambler
in Sounding Slogan

The North Georgia conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, IN
session in Wesley Memorial church, de-
voted Thursday to a discussion of the
centenary movement. under which a
minimum of 100000 a year is to be
raised by American Methodists during
the next FIVE years for missions and
kindred activities.
The keynote of the findings at the
morning session, as summed up by Pre-
siding Bishop Warren A. Gambler, was
that there is too much money in
Christendom and too little Christianity
in heathendom."
Propose to Remedy This
Such condition the Methodists pro-
pose to remedy by converting Christen-
dom's cash into Christianity for heath
ems. A simple process of equalization pro-
vided money and missionaries can be
obtained. And, according to the senti-
ment expressed on all sides, Method
ism is going to rise to tn occasion and
supply both.
In order further to stimulate inter
est in the missionary centenary move
ment, all three of the Thursday ses-
sions were surrendered to this cause.
Maps Effectively Displayed
The Thursday session opened with a
swing to the tune of We're Marching
Upward to Zion, the Beautiful City
Above"
Great maps suspended above the pull
pit and fianked by a gigantic American
flag on one side and a service flag on the
other suggested a study Of war until it
was noted that most of Europe was in
conspicuously pictured. Long pink
lines stretched from Georgia to bright
pink spots lettered Cuba, Mexico, Bra

Japan-far-off lands where men from
this church are spreading the gospel
a mute appeal for contributions for
missions.
Dr. S. r. BeIk, OF Athens. prayed
fervently for the faith of Joshua and
Caleb that we may go up and possess
the land"
Here the conference buzzed with ami
mated conversation which provoked
Presiding Bishop Warren A. Gambler to
an eXhortation that I'VE worship when
we worship and work when we work and
then We'll get through"
The words fell on deaf ears, where
upon a resounding whack of the gavel
snapped the conference to attention.
I'm not going to conduct worship
in confusion" said the bishop. of
course your communications may be
more important than this Worship"
He sat down. Five seconds and the
conference was as still as the proverbial
dOormouse. The bishop then conducted
the worship, making an exhortatior for
Christianity to cover the world. He
likened the IMAM who breaches that all
religions must be put in the melting
pot and give out to the world sort of

WILSON ALSO In FAVOR OF
JUSTICE WITHOUT REVENGE

: WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.--President

And, at the same time, their two ma
tions are working UGt separately, but in
many respects with the same ideas al
the fore, the problems OF reconstruction.
As revealed 'Dy Lloyd Georges latest
utterance and as known from president
Wilson'S speeches, the. league of nations
idea will be put forth vigorously in the

stands with the president on his four
teen principles. And particular stress is
Ueing laid, both by the British premier
and the American president, that the

.,Qualid ideas of vengeance and aVarice.
both the premier and the president
are now busyIng themselves with recon-
StructiOn matters. Premier Lloyd George
has declared Tor big housing schemes,
tor creation of the minimum wage, tor
reduction of hours and for increased
production from the land.
Reconstruction Commission
President Wilson has not yet declared
himself on the program of the future.
Dut he has under consideration the Gre
alton of a reconstruction commission,
which should be a group of experts act
ing as a clearing house for the financial,
labor, construction problems. These
moves by Great Britain and the United
States are part OF the big hight now I'M
der way to curb Boishevism in the
world.
Big business is anxious for a pro-
noUncemenI of policy. Labor wants 20
know what it's future shall be. These
things are pointed out in a letter writ
ten the president by the United states
chamber OF commerce, which shows,
particularly, the need of unified sys-
ten with respect to cancellation OF war
contracts ami transition from war to
peace-time industries.
The government has found itself tenn
porarHy staggered by the suddenness
and immensely OF problems presented by
peace, but is now getting its second
wind and preparing for systematic
handling OF the problem. Premier Lloyd
George says that Boshevism is not
feared if the problems are handed

So far, the real fear of this government
IS that hunger will spread the trouble
and cause a reign of terror. Were It

department, the government would have
no fears about the situation.

LLOYD GEORGE OPPOSES
PEACE OF VENGEANCE

LONDON, Nov 14.-Premier Lloyd
George, in an address here November II,
declared in favor of league of nations
and against a peace of vengeance
"One of the principal issues at the
forthcoming general election will be the
nature of the peace sediment" de-
clared the premier. s.
TT will mean the settlement of the
world. What are the principles on which
that settlement is to be effected? Are we
to lapse back into the old national rival
ries and animosity and the competitive
armamen1s. or ara We to initiate the
reign on earth of the prince of peace?
What are conditions of peace? They
must lead to settlement which will be
fundamentally just. No settlement that
contravenes principles of eternal justice
will be a permanent one.
I'VE must not allow any sense of re-
vengf any spirit of greed or any grasp,
ing desire to override the fundamental
principles of righteousness"
Premier Lloyd George said that the
league of nations was more necessary
now than ever and pointed out that con-
ditions that prevailed in the Balkans
before the war were now affecting two
thirds of Europe.
"a large number of small nations
have been reborn in Europe and these
will require a league of nations to pro-.
tect them against covetous, ambitious,
grasping neighbors, he declared. IN
my Judgment league of nations is alb
solutely essential to permanent peace.
We shall go TO the peace conference to
guarantee that league of nations as q
