Billy" Sundays Victory loan
visit to Omaha eliminated Monday
afternoon in luncheon at the
Athletic club when 100 or more of
his friends and admirers met to
pay their tribute, to the famous
evangelist. Sunday spoke but
few minutes, having to take a train
for the east, and he entered into
no discussion of the merits of the
Victory loan. He simply declared
that everybody has a chance to be
either right or wrong all through
life, and that he expected Omaha,
as always, to register 100 per cent
in loyalty at this time.
Mr.. Sunday took occasion, how
ever, to express his love and ad-
miration for Omaha, "the best
place on earth" He said that when
his time came to die it would
probably be found that the name
of Omaha had engraved itself on
his heart. He expressed regret

cerned, but that the bill remained to
be paid. He introduced T. C.

great work done by Mr.. Byrne as
director of the war drives.
Mr.. Byrne spoke at some length,
setting forth the greatness of the
task which America had undertaken
so successfully. He expressed the

the willingness of the nation to meet

Paris, April 2l.-The supreme

THE TERMS.
OF TREATY
Germans Agree to Conditions
Laid Down by Allies Re-
SpeCting Conferences Held
at Versailles.

Paris, April 21.-(By Associated
Press.)-Germany has notified the
allies that she accepts all the al
lied conditions respecting the
Versailles conference. This Of
fetal announcement was made to-
night.
Germany will send the follow
ing delegates to the Versailles
congress with full powers to ne
gotiate:
Count Won Brockdorff Rant
zeau, foreign minister.
Herr Landsberg, secretary for
publicity, art and literature.
DR.. Theodor Melchior, general
manager of the Warburg bank.
Herr Leinert, president of the
Prussian assembly and of the ma
tional soviet congress.
Herr Geisberg, minister of posts
and telegraphs.
Herr Schuecking.
In all. the German party will
number 75. The arrival of the
delegates can not be expected be-
fore April 28.
Paris, April 2l.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The German dele
cation to Versailles will comprise
six high personages at the head OF
which will be Count Won Brock
dorff-Rantzau, the foreign minister.
Marshal Foch was so informed
late this evening, according to Of
ficial announcement. The delegates
caniiotf arrive at Versailles before
April 2e.
Although the peace conference
apparently was taken by surprise
by the announcement of Germany's
to send small delega-
ton to Versailles to receive the
text of the treaty, the plan is really
old. and Berlin and Weimar dis
patches of the Associated Press
more than a month ago indicated
that the German delegates would
not have power to make final de-
cisions.
Based on Misapprehension.
The determination of the Ger
man foreign office was based on
nisapprehension of the program
,or the initial meeting of the Ger
nan plenipotentiaries for the rep
of the peace confer
,nce. 1t had been understood
through press statements that at
