The Nation Militant and the
i Church Militant

fhe Nation Vide Campaign is the
suinmoning-up OF the Church's pow
er for her fully understood and fully
accepted spiritual war. II is the
calling into expression through the
Church, for the sake of the Kingdom
Of God, Of the same intelligence, the
same swift efficiency, the same high
consecration, which the spirit of
man and woman in America rose to
at the challedge OF the nations war.
For Christ's sake, and In His SUI
prone cause. we mast conserve and
put to spiritual use tho magnificent
energies for idealistic action which
tho last two years have taught us to
expect from the American spirit
when u great cause is at stake.
In these months Of the WAT, all of
us--men and women, boys and girls
have felt new pride in being cit
izens Of the United STATES. And the
reason for that was this. We were
working, We were giving, we were
sacrificing together, for u common
cause. We loved the country more,
because more than ever before. We
we're identifying our life with the
country's life. We loved because
our hearts were on fire with service.
So can it be also with the Church.
II we want to love the Church
more, first we must see in the
Church's spiritual adventure some
thing that thrills our best strength
into action. II is the first business
Of "The Nation Wide Campaign" to
make MS see that. 1t bids us con-
slider what the Church ia here for
what the Church is doing and what
the Church ought to do, to the end
that each single one of us man recog-
nizs the inspiring bigness of the
Church's duty and in the midst OF it
see the particular chande Of which
we say. Here is the thing for me

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINIAIs.

BY United Press:
PARIS, April 23.-The drafting
committees are racing against time
in an effort to complete the peace
treaty before the German delegates
arrive in Versailles. Several new
members have been added TO the
committee. The conference is pro-
ceeding on the assumption that the
Germans will arrive in Versailles on
scheduled time-April 25-although
the latest reports indicate the delay
necessitated by a change in the per-
sonnel of the delegation will result
in the enemy representatives not
sooner than May l.
Neither the Italian nor the Jap
anese questions have impeded work
on the treaty as the former does
not directly affect Germany and all
that is necessary in the Chino-Jap-
anese controversy. so far as Ger
many is concerned is the insertion
OF clause declaring Germany's in
terests in China cancelled,
To Send Commission.
Invitation TO the Germans TO send
a commission of food. shipping. n
nancial and trade experts TO confer
with allied representatives was re-
garded today as the most important
step yet taken toward resumption of
the worlds normal business. The

ed TO send commissioners having
full power 10 negotiate regarding
every question involved and 70 pre-
pare TO open the conference as soon
as possible. so that commercial rela-
tionS between Germany and the al
lies may be cleared up speedily
