This man. John Mark, had no
exaggerated idea of his Importance. He
was willing to take an humble posi-
ton and render mental service. Per-
haps he made the preparation for the.
meetings which Paul and Barnabass
held; he ooked.<a after their temforap
needs; he did the small things they
had not time to do. Once his courage
tailed him: but write IT down to his
credit that he started right and ended
right.
The kingdom calls for men and wo-
men who are ready to serve In the,
ranks. After all, they make IN tho,

Allies Agree to Relieve Pressure
After Germany Has Signed
the Treaty
GERMANS MAY USE SHIPS

Paris, June 1S.-The plan of the al
lied and associated powers to make con
cessions to Germany with regard to
ships and financial and economic meas
ures if she signed the peace terms, was
deemed advisable to assure Germany a
certain amount Of financial and eco
nomic "working capital" without which
il would be impossible for her to resume
her industries or to pay reparations.
Among the concessions, it was learned
today, was to permit Germany the use
for two years of 30 per cent of her
merchant ships and facilities for obtain
ing certain ores and other raw materials
as we'll as the retention of her gold
reserve in order to maintain the Ger
man currency system and foreign cred
its.
1t was originally contemplated to in =
clude in the reply given the Germans
Monday a definite and detailed state
ment on these concessions.
There was considerable discussion be-
tween British and other experts as
to the amount Of general tonnage which
should and could be placed at the
disposal of Germany during the period
Immediately after the war to supply
the urgent need of raw materials before
new ships could be built. Estimates
ranged between % and 30 per cent of
the vessels above 1900 tons. 1t is
understood that it was agreed ultimately
to permit the Germans to defer de-
livery of higher percentage until two
years after ratification of the treaty.
All vessels in this category in ex-
istence at present are to be surrendered
ultimately.
The French also agreed to conces =
sions giving the Germans the right to
purchase on favorable terms minette
ores obtained before the war from
French and German Lorraine and
which must be mixed with German
low grade ores to obtain n good quality
Of iron and steel.
The contemplated assurances con-
cerning raw materials from overseas, 1t
is said, are of the same general ma =
ture.
All the concessions will be communi-
Gated to Germany at an early date
after the signing of the treaty, probably
at one of the first conferences with the
permanent reparations committee.

Closing of the "city" dump of the
Ware Contracting Company, between
Eighth and Thirteenth streets and

Railroad property, or immediate i'm
provcment of sanitary conditions there,
is the alternative laid down today by
Director Wilmer Kruscn, of the Depart

Senator Edwin II. Ware owns the
land whore his ashes and street clean
ing concern dumps the refuse.
Protests of residents in Johnson and
other streets in the vicinity of the
dump against the odor and the fly pest
originating there resulted in the order
for clean up. Conditions there are
said to be a menace to the health of
the community.
Part of the blame for this situation
is placed by the health authorities upon
residents of that section of the city
| who themselves throw refuse on the
I dump and other who fail to separate
garbage from the ashes set out for the
Ware collectors.
Contract for tho collection is held
by the Penn Reduction Company.
The Bureau of Street Cleaning also
has been instructed to see that the Ware
collectors do not take up Obicctionabl
garbage and place it on the "city S"
