IT CAME FROM GERMANY.
So Declared Rev. B. G. Lipsky in Speak
ing of Day Materialism.

''Present-day tendency toward mate
rialistic ideas, and away from spiritual.
the tendency to belittle God and the
things of God, has come from Germany
very strongly within the past few years.
Yet men to-day are realizing more than
ever the reality of Cod" said Rev. B. G.
Lipsky, pastor of the Hedding Methodist
church, in his sermon last evening. He
took for his text Heb. ll:6: "For he
that cometh to God must believe that
He is, and that He is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek Him"
The speaker set forth present-day con.
ditions, especially those in connection
with the war, and declared that our sol
diers are realizing that there is God,
and are seeking him. He said that the
yicissitudes of life bring us to a sense of
the reality of God, Believing in God one
is constrained to seek Him, not In
negative attitude, but diligently" by
a putting forth of the soul to achieve it.
A very good number were present at
last nights service, and results from
the series of meetings are already in evil
dence. Services win be continued at the
church this week and next, at 1880 each
evening. To-night's subject will be, God,

EUROPEANS WANT
SPECIAL DECISIONS
And There Is Nothing to In
dicate That Plan Would
Be Rejected by American
Representatives.

Paris, Jan. Is Thy the Associated
Press).-With the resumption to day Of
The meetings preliminary to the peace
conference, it is apparent that the move
ment to create a league Of nations is
being carried on by two forces, having
the same object but differing as to the
means for making effective the decisions
Of the proposed world society. One of
these represents the contention that the
decisions of the league must be backed
by It's combined physical forces, while
the other represents the view that its
findings can be enforced without the aid
OF common world police force.
Diplomatists seem impressed with the
the view that both these ideas are NOV
ing toward a common ground which, for
example, might provide that the nations
could reserve for each individual case
their decision whether they would utilize
armed force or avail themselves of other
means.
There is reason to believe that such
an arrangement would be supported by
some of the European statesmen, and
tAlcit Is HbbHllS W Indicate LHdI III
would be rejected BY the American rep
resentatives.
The work before to-day's session of
the supreme council comprised compile
tion Of the allotment of representation Of
the various nations, and further consid-
GRAFTON as to whether Russia should have
delegates in the larger body These mat
ters are expected to be entirely disposed
of by Saturday, when the first sitting of
the peace conference viii be held.
The program commonly agreed upon
calls for primary consideration of the
forming of league of nations, and the
congress viii work on this to the ex-
elusion of all other subjects. The effort
seems to be to bend all energies to the
laying OF the foundations Of the league,
so that the conference may proceed 10
the actual making of the peace treaty
in the early spring, even if it be only
preliminary one which will dispose
Of the pressing question of demobiliza-
tion and the return of the warning coun-
tries as nearly as possible to the eco
nomic conditions of peace. This is rec
ognized by all the statesmen as of the |
utmost necessity.

Expressed for Bulgaria, Said
to Be Deeply Rooted in

Paris, Jan. IA (by the Associated

conference memorandum signed by Pre-
mier Venizelos setting forth the situa-
tion of Greece and her claims i'm the set.

says the Hellenic nation consists of S.
$4,000 persons, of whom So per cent
live in the kingdom of Greece and the re-
nainder outside its limits. Half mil
lion Greeks in America are included in
the figures submitted.
Wishing to reunite the Greek popula-
tion in the Balkans, Asia Minor and the
islands adjacent to the kingdom, Greece
asks, first, nothern Epirus, which con
tains 10000 Greeks against $4,000 Al
banians. 1t says that "the former, be-
sides being in the majority, also pos
sess a 'higher form of civilization"
AS a second demand, Greece asks for
Thrace, without Constantinople, Thrace,
according to the memorandum, is peopled
largely by Greeks.
"Since Constantinople, according to
the 18th point of President Wilson's pro-
gram, cannot remain under Turkish
rule the memorandum declares, "the
natural solution would be to award Con-
stantinople to Greece and to establish
international guarantees for the freedom
Of the straits"
It is pointed out that the principal
native element of Constantinople is
Greek, being numerically greater than
"all the other nationalities put togeth.

But if a society of nations be estab

continues, "ConstantinopIe might, in con-
sequence of great international interests
connect with the possession of the
straits, be formed as a separate entity by
the society of nations, which would nom
mate its governor for certain fixed pc
riods.'
The third territorial claim made by
Greece is for parts of Vilayets in Asia
Minor. These have a population, it is
said, of l,lSS,000 Greeks against 1922
