PRESIDNET URGES ACCEPT
ANCE OF TREATY AND LEAGUE
Issues an Address to American People
and Declares Peace Pact Ends For
ever old and Intolerably Autocracy.

ever old and Intolerably Autocracy.
President Wilson in an address to
the American people on the occasion
of the signing of the peace treaty,
made plea for the acceptance of the
treaty and the covenant of the league
of nations without change or reserva-
tion.
His message, given out by Secreta-
1 ry Tumulty. said:
MY fellow countrymen:
THE treaty of peace has been sign
ed. II it is ratified and acted upon in
full and sincere execution of its
terms, it will furnish the charter for
new order of affairs in the world.
1t is severe treaty in the duties and
penalties ii imposes upon Germany,
but ii is severe only because great
wrongs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; 1t imposes no.
thing that Germany cannot do: and
she can regain her rightful standing
in the world by the prompt and hon
orable fulfillment of its terms.
| "And it is much more than q treaty
of peace with Germany 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty.
1t ends, once for all, an old and in
tolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the
| peoples of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and domin-
ion. 1t associates the free govern
ments of the world in a permanent
league in which they are pledged to
use their united power to maintain
peace by maintaining right and JUS
tiee. 1t makes international law a
reality supported by imperative sane
tions. 1t does away with the right
of conquest and rejects the policy of
annexation and substitutes a new ord
er under which backward nations
populations which have not yet come
to political consciousness and peoples
who are ready for independence, but
not quite prepared to dispense with
protection and guidance--shall no
more be subjected to the domination
and exploitation of stronger nation,
but shall be put under the friendly
direction and afforded the helpful
assistance of governments which un-
dertake to be responsible to the opin-
ion Of mankind in the execution of
their task by accepting the direction
of the league of nations. 1t recogni-
yes the inalterabe rights of nation
alty: the rights of minorities and
the sanctitv of religious belief and
practice. 1t lays the basis for con-
ventions which shall free the CONNER
cial intercourse of the world from
unjust and vexatious restrictions and
for every sort of international coop
Grafton that will serve to cleanse the
life Of the world and facilitate its
common action in benefcent service
of every kind. 1t furnishes guaran-
tees such as were never given or even
contemplated for the fair treatment
of all who labor at the daily tasks of
the world.
ut is for this reason that | have
spoken of II as a great charter for
new order of affairs. There is ground
here for deep satisfaction. universal
reinsurance and confident hope

GERMANY SIGNED ALLIES
PEACE TERMS SATURDAY.

Brief Ceremony Bringing War 10 a
Close was Held in Same Hall where
~ Years ago the Germans Hum
hled the French - President VIII
son First OF Allied Delegates TO
Sign.
Germany and the allied and sssoc.-
ated powers signed the peace terms
IN Versailles Saturday in the same
imperial hall where the Germans
humbled the French so ANONYMOUSLY
As years ago.
This formally ended the world war
which lasted just 81 days less than
hve years. June 2Sth. the day of
peace. was the fifth anniversary of
the murder of Archduke Francis Fer
dinand at Sarajevo. according to the
associated press.
The ceremony of signing the peace
terms were brief. Premier Clemen-
ceau called the session to order in the
hall of mirrors of the Chateau of Yer
sailles at $40 O'Clock. The signing
began when DR.. Hermann Mueller
and Johannes Bell. the German sigma
tories. affixed their names. Herr
Mueller signed at 3:12 O'Clock. Presi-
dent Wilson. first of the allied dele
gates, signed minute later. At3:45
O'Clock the momentous session was
concluded.
All the diplomats and members of
their parties wore conventional civil
ian clothes. There was a marked lack
OF gold lace and pageantry There
were few of the fanciful uniforms of
middle ages, whose traditions and
practices are so sternly condemned in
the great. seal-covered document
signed Saturday.
A spot OF color was made against
this com5re background by the
French guards. A few selected men,
bers of the guard were resplendent
in their red plumed silver helmets
and red, white and blue uniforms.
As contrast with the Franco
German peace session of 1871, held
in the same hall, there We're present
grizzled French veterans of the
Franco-Prussian war. They replaced
the Prussian guardsmen of the pre-
yious ceremony and the Frenchmen
Saturday watched the ceremony with
grim satisfaction.
The conditions of 1871 were ex-
actly reversed. saturday the disciples
of Bismarck sat in the seats of the
lowly while the white marble statue
of Minerva, goddess of war, looked
on.
Overheard On the frescoed ceiling,
were scenes from Frances ancient
wars.
Three incidents were emphasized
by the smoothness with which the
ceremony was conducted. The first
of these was the failure of the Chi
nese delegation to sign. The second
was the protest submitted by Gen.
Jan Christian SHUTS, who declared
the peace unsatisfactory The third,
unknown to the general public, came
from the Germans. When the pro-
gram for the ceremony was shown to
the German delegation. Herr Won
Haimbausen, of the German delega-
tion, went to Henri, French liaison
officer, and protested. He said:
I'VE cannot admit that the German
delegates should enter the hall by
different door than the entente dele
gates nor that the military honors
should be withheld. Had we known
there would be such arrangements
before. the delegates would have not
come"
After a conference with the French
foreign ministry, it was decided, as
a compromise. to render military hon
ors as the Germans left. Otherwise
the program was not changed.

meeting their own obligations they
havo in many cases been unable 10
overcome the lethargy shown in the
farming districts. In many cases rural
committees have fallen down in their
work completely, according to ~ H.
Graham, state director. And farmers
whose properties are worth anywhere
from a thousand to fifty thousand dol

hardships and grave risks but have
relinquished to the goyn nment the
difs aence between their normal in
comes and the thirty dollars month
wage which they received while in
service.
Farmers like other folks share
responsibility in this war which they
should not attempt to eVado, said Gra-
| ham today. MANY of them realize that
the enjoyment and benefits of liberty
and citizenship such as is offered by
the United States entail personal obll-
cations on the part of those enjoying
them and that are willing to pay as
they go. In a few instances large con
tributions have been made by farmers
In some sections the rural communities
have put their communities among the
first to go over the top, but unhappily
this has not been the rule in the state
This may be due in many localities to
the fact that the farmers are waiting
to be solicited by committees who have
failed to respond to the call of Their
county chairman In such cases the
farmers should lose no time in seeking
their banks and subscribing to the
full amount of their ability.
"Oklahoma promises to be blessed
with good crops this year and this fact
should not be overlooked when own
ers are endeaVoring to determine the
amount of investments which they
should make in Victory bonds 1t is

WORLD ONFERENCE OF
CHURCHES IN PROSPECT,
A MEXICAN LEADERSHIP

Cleveland, May THE churches of
the world look to American churchmen
for leadership in bringing about world
conference of churches, the Rev.
Charles 5. mcfarland Of New York.
said in a report read at a special meeting
here of the Federal Council of the
Churchs of Christ of America, of which
he is the general secretary.
Recent correspondence with Chris
tian leaders in the various nations
seem to Indicate" Or. Macfarland de
clared, that the time is approaching
for a world conference of the churches,
and there is a general disposition to look
toward a conference Indeed some of the
| foreign church bodies have definitely
committed this task to us"
Asserting that "one of the most i'm
portant developments in the past few
years has been the deepening relation
ship with the church bodies of other ma
tons" DIR. Macfarland- added:
Indeed we find testimony to the fact
he eXtense Of the Federal Council has
led to the organization or similar fed
that the existence of the Federal Coun-
Gill has led to the organization or siml-
lar federal tions in other nations and, IN
eases where federal councils previously
existed to the stimulation of their activi
ties. These relationships have deepened
especially in Europe and more particu
larly in Franco and Belgium"
DR.. Macfarand'S report was de
voted to "The Measure and Manner OF
the Federal Councils Service During
the Past Biennium." He declared that
"the eXigencies and opportunities of the
war and of social order have naturally
reawakened the churches, stimulated
their thought and aroused their mission
arv enthusiasm, so that in the neces
sary revision of their programs and the
reconstruction of their administrative
forces they have had one of those re
births which bring renewed vitality ant
deepened selfconsciOunes."
Dr. Macfarland said that through its
Commission on Relations with th
Orient. the Federal Council faces grea
international problems from which th'
RESPONSIBILITIES of the churches canno
be separated or isolated
Abiding to finances, DR.. Macfarlan'
said the total receipts and expenditures
