 Sharp q differences have arisen among the members of the German peace delegation over the peace treaty, and Count Won Brockdorh- Rantzau, head of the Teutonic pIenipotentiaries, may return to Berlin to discuss with the Ebert government whether the terms pre- sented by the allied and associated governments shall be signed. He has already reached Spa and con ferred with technical experts.
 A majority of the delegates, in- cIuding the financial experts, are asserted to be strongly against submission to the terms, and so marked has become the division be- tween the opposing factions that 1t is quite probable Count Won Brock dorff-Rantzau will not agree to re- main a party to the negotiations.
 Unofficial advices from Spa are to the effect that the count already has asked to be relieved of his arduous task. The departure of the head of the German delegation will not necessarily cause an interrup- ton of the negotiations, however, asNsthese may be conducted mean time by those members of the party remaining at Versailles.
 The independent socialists of Gerpany are still in favor of sign ing the peace treaty, in the face of strong opposition on the part of the nonsocialist supporters of the gov ernment. In this connection one member of the delegation ranking as counsellor of the delegation is quoted as having said;
 "We will sign despite all, because we will be hacked to pieces if we return to Berlin without signing."
 The failure of the Hungarian del- egates to arrive at St. Germain and uncertainty as to conditions in Hungaria are holding up the pre- sentatiOn of the treaty to be hand ed the Austrians for signature. It is expected now that the document will not be handed to the Austrian p1enipOtentiaries until late in the present week.
 Thus far the only business trans acted by the Austrians at St. Ger main has been with the inter- allied representatives in connection

 How much money is to be raised?" What amount is to be spent on home missions?" How much does it take to maintain Bible woman in foreign countries" 2" When the subscriptions to the centenary are to be paid?' How the subscriptions are to be paid? How much money does 1t require to maintain an evangelist in foreign fields?" What the greatest and most fertile field in the world is for mis- sions2'' E self-sacrihcing neces- sary?" And dozens of other questions were propounded all of which pr. Wells answered, eloquently and earnestly, showing that he has mastered the sub ject of the centenary completely. Asked what part he had in "the cen- 'tenary movement pr Wells declared that he had always hated stacker in anything and that he had done his bit" in every patriotic movement dur ing the war; that he could not have looked our soldiers in the face when thew returned if he hadn't done his share; and that he and his family would do their bit'' in the centenary, which would amount to about 5000 or more. This statement ellclIeu hearty applause from the entire congregation.
 pr. Wells announcement that Lonnie Munger had been elected treasurer for the centenary fund for Highland Methodist church, paying MT. Munger many beautiful and highly deserved compliments, was also received most cordially and with great applause.

 Instead of preaching the regular ser mon, Dr. Wells introduced "the open religious forum at the morning ser vice-the form of service which .has been so popular for the past few weeks at the regular evening service at High lands Methodist church-and it met with instant and spontaneous cordiality by the large number of people present.
 Dr. Wells announced that he would take text apropos to the centenary movement from the 2Sth chapter of Matthew, but he would not preach a sermon. Instead, he would endeavor to answer any questions regarding the centenary movement which might be asked by any one in the congregation. Tn fact" said Dr. Wells, T feel pretty certain that I can answer all the ques- ions"
