WORLD NEWS

The German Chancellor, Won Hert-
ling, has finally made known his
peace terms, in reply to the address
Of Lloyd-George and President Will
son. Although more moderate and
reasonable in tone than previous ut
terances of the ruling party in Ger
many, the address skillfully evades
the main points at issue. The matter
of French territory is a question TO
be settled by France and Germany;
the matter Of Poland is a question
for Austria and Germany to settle;
the fate Of Belgium is to be deter
mined in peace conference, says
the Chancellor.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1918-01-31

A division of the great Russian En-
pire is threatened. Finland has al
ready become independent and now
the district Of Ukrania in the south
ern part of Russia has seeded and
made separate peace with Germany.
BY the terms Of this peace the troops
of each party are withdrawn from
the land Of the other and commercial
intercourse is TO be opened at once,
pending the settlement Of other
matters. The region is a rich one
and will open up great sources OF
food supply.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1918-01-31

Several Of the peace terms Of Pres
ident Wilson were accepted, in gen.
eral, by Won Hertling, particularly
the provision for the freedom Of the
sea. The Chancellor takes occasion,
however, to interpret this to mean
that England would be obliged TO
give up some of her strategic points
Of vantage at various places along the
courses Of commerce. such as Gil
bralter, Alden, the Falkland Islands,
Hong Kong and others. English
papers had already seen the posi-
bility of such an Interpretation and
the Presidents clause on the free
dom of the seas was not. received
with entire approval in England.
The Chancellor was quick 10 see the
opportunity.

Oil Men Adopt Rules to Conserve
Product

Prevention Of waste in the oil
fields OF Eastern Kentucky will re-
suit, il is believed, from a new set
of laws adopted by the Kentucky
Oil Mems Association following its
monthly meeting in Lexington Sal
urday night. The Legislative Com
mittee ofxhe Associ ation, which was
in session before the meeting, gave
out the new regulations adopted by
the oil men which will be strictly
enforced. The provisions require
that operators, within the next three
months, will shut in and conflne the
oil in wells TO avoid waste, and con.
serve all necessary fuel. They also
require all abandoned wells TO be
closed to avoid water filling in the
holes.

know Of no more wonderful work in
the history OF the state. The pas
tors Of the various churches united
in calling Mr.. Williams Of the Moody
Bible Institute. TO labor in our midst.
The opera house was secured for the
meetings and the work commenced.
Night after night more chairs had to
be secured until the great building
was packed from stage 10 gallery,
then standing room was at q prem
ium and people began TO be turned
away. They came from many tow IS,
pastors coming from one hundred
miles away TO attend the meetings.
To some the most wonderful feature
Of the work was the large number
OF conversions; TO others the thor
oughness Of the work. About even
six hundred in all came forward,
were personally dealt with by the
evangelist and pastors, after which
they arose and made public wOr 1
OF mouth profession TO their accept
ance Of Christ as a personal Savior
The opportunity was given for Chris
tians and church members 10 shake
hands with them or make their ac-
quaintance and welcome them into
Christian life. Others who did not
come forward in the meetings are
now coming out boldly, while many
nominal church members testify 10
their conversion during the ser
vices. Perhaps not far from seven
hundred have met with a change OF
heart during these three weeks. OF
this number fully or more than one
half were men and boys"

London Papers Say Germany Regards
Herself as the conqueror, Pre-
pared to Listen to No Terms
Except Her Own.

Paris, Jan. 2S.-"Never was the AL
sace-Lorraine question farther from
being the sole obstacle to peace" says
the Temps in Its comment on the
speeches of the German chancellor and
the Austro-Hungarian foreign minis
ter. ut is only the most visible sym
Dol Of the untractable German imper-
ialism.
IF the German chancellor believed
the Alsace-Lorraine question the only
bar to peace he would declare Ger
many's readiness to restore Belgium
without restrictions and to assure the
Poles. Lithuanians and Let's freedom
20 settle their own destinies.
Instead. Chancellor Won Hertling
carefully avoids doing this. Over Bel
GUM he leaves q menacing doubt. He
refuses all explanation to the allies
about the eastern front and he doesn't
even promise that French territory will
he evacuated without reserve.
Effort to Divide AIIiea
"One would have thought that Chan
cellor Won Hertling would have fully
realized the tragic weight of his words.
Although he accepts such clauses in
the American progr m as appear ad-
vantageous for Germany by interpret
ing them according to his liking. he
rejects the others, or reserves the
means Of invalidating them.
He attempts in return TO open q
separate debate with each Of the allies,
or even to make one contradict the
other. Chancellor Won Hertling's prin-
cipal effort II appears. is TO separate
from Mr.. Wilson's program the Alsace-
Lorraine question"
Chancellor Won Hertling's speech is
considered In official circles as confirm
ing that General Won Ludendorff. Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and the PAN
Germans are debating the govern
ment's policy.
The chancellor's remarks concerning
Belgium are taken rs confirmation Of
what former Ambassador Gerard said
Of the former German chancellor Doc
tor Won Bethmann Hollweg's declara-
tion on the same subject.
The intention appears clearly on the
part of the Germans to seek TO treat
separately with each antagonist. This
is Indicated by Chancellor Won Hert-
llng's reference TO France and the
eventful conversation with France
about the evacuation OF occupied terri
tory. and also regarding Poland, which
Germany wants to consider as a ques-
ton between Poland and the central
powers. with which no other powers
have anything TO say.
