Rev, McNemar neoins Revival,

heVs McNemat Begins REVIVAL.
Rev. l.. A. McNemar and the ac-
tive workers Of the NJ. p. church
here opened their campaign for the
salvation Of souls on Wednesday
night. The attendance on the first
night was light and the Pastor preach
ed q stirring sermon from the test
Who Is on the Lords side.
On the second night( last night
the minister did not preach a sermon
but held an experience meeting.
Many stirring talks were given and
touching experiences and the minister
created mild sensation by declaring
that thers were persons in the audi
ence who had fully made up their
minds not to accept Christ and asked
all such to arise to their feet and the
workers would note them and agree
to let them alone and not bother them.
Needless to say no one arose. There
was q fairly good audience. Much
interest was manifested and three per.
sons cane forward aud gave their
hand to the minister as a token OF
their interest and a desire for prayers
in their behalf.
There is great interest In the meeting
both inside and outside church circles
and confidence felt that much good
will be accomplished.

After the first dance with Chris 4
he had no desire to dance with any
other girl, telling her that three
dances with the right one were more
to be desired than Q dozen merely to
be dancing.
and" finished Tom soberly. I'm
coming tomorrow to call on you and
Dominic and tell you why-may 1? In
the meantime you can ask Jim about
me. Win you7"
"0h, you mustn't talk SO seriously at
q Christmas party. Ill tell Dominic
you're coming. OF course he might be
much more interested II he thought
you would bring himya satnip mouse. !"
But the next day when Tom called
up to learn when she would be in he
was told that Miss Christie was en-
gagged and could see no one. He hung
up the phone out OF sorts and out OF
spirits, and getting into his old line
man toys he determined to spend the
day inspecting telephone lines.
He was our on a side street where
1.-THE snow and slcet had done much
damage and was Just going UP pole
when the Bradford car drew up to the
curb in front Of veterinary office.
"Why hello, Toni" called jim.
Busy? Come over here" Tom was
amazed to see Christie in the back
| OF the car, In tears-a basket on her
Ilap.
"Oh, Mr.. carruthers, don't think me
q perfect little cry.baby," she Inn
Iplored. This is the second time
you've caught me crying over Dom
Iinie. He is dreadfully hurt and We
brought him to see what the doctor
could do for him." And she handed
the basket out to Jim.
"Well, I've got his catnip mouse for
him." said Tom. He can have 1t while
the doctor makes his diagnosis And
gently Tom and Jim took the basket
lin. But poor Dominic had been shot
in the shoulder by some miscreant
and all tho doctor could do was to ad-
minister chicroform.
Nov Please don't CRY, sis,' begged
jim. "Doc will be nice to him and
he'll be out Of his misery" Tom
fastened to add. sAnd nj get you an;
other kitten-but poor old Dominic
was good soldier.
Christice smiled appreciativelys
"No I'll not cry any more. It's the
suffering that simply breaks me up,
YOU know" She met a pair Of clio.
qnent eyes that seemed to be asking
well, can't you save a little SYM
pathy for poor TOMB" Indeed, that
was what he asked later.
And Christie confessed that she
couldn't help loving a man who was
SO tender hearted that he could SYM
gathize with her over her pet kitten
adding mlschievously. Even II he was
only a telephone lineman."

Then she came close to me and her

"But even 80. that's all she is crazy

CLEAR UP DOUBT
CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER IrS
LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVES HIM OVATION
All Doubtful Features Of Pact Are
Explained Away BY President, and
Former Doubters Hasten to Give
Him Their Support.

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train-A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end Of his month daylong
speaking tour In behalf Of the League
Of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city Of Los Angeles, went
wild In its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy Of the League, and 1t was
In that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her United States sena-
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency In 1920, had before the ar
rival Of President Wilson, convinced
. great number Of citizens that tho
League as at present formulated was
not q good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because Of It,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for asserting to
the possession by Japan Of the PENN
sula Of Shan Tung in China.

lion before the Council Of the League
for a period Of six months, and tnen'
II possible, accept the councils advice.
That failing. they agree to refrain from
war for a further period OF three
months and nine months OF cooling
off," the president contended, would
prevent any armed conflict. These clear
explanations satisfied every reasonable
bearer and destroyed the "Bugaboos"
which Senator johnson and others had
raised against the League. Through
rugged Nevada into Utah. the land OF
Mormons, the president swept to ma
that those fine people were heartily
with him for the League and per-
uansnNv Of peace.

But Mr.. Wilson, with clear logic and
with compelling eloQuence, answered
to the entire satisfaction of Califor-
MAS people every objection which
Senator Johnson had made to the
League. And thousands of the states
citizens deserted the johnson stand
ard Immediately and rallied to the sup
port Of the president. More than that.
they came forward and said, I'VE
were against you, Mr.. President, but
you have cleared everything up and
now we are with you heart and SOUL"
Still more than that, they let Senator
johnson know that they were no
longer with him and that they disap.
proved Of the speaking tour which he
himself was making in opposition to
the League and so powerful was the
volume Of public opinion which reach.
cd him, that the senator almost i'm.
mediately abandoned his tour. The
Shan Tung question, because Of the
anti-Japanese feeling which undoubted-
ly exists along the Pacific coast was
the most serious which the president
had to answer. He explained to the
people that he had been powerless to
prevent the rich peninsula from being
given to Japan. England and France,
through secret treaty, had promised
1t to Japan for entering the war and
remaining in 1t. That treaty had to
be carried out Anyway 1t was not
China that was losing Shan Tung, but
Germany, which had seized the terri
tory from China in 1898 and held 1t
ever since. Japan had promised. the
president explained, to return Shan
Tung as soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and 1t was only through the
ratification Of the treaty with the
League of Nations inclusion, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back And she surely
would get 1t back. he declared, through
the ratification Of the League. There
fore. through the same fundamentally
no other nation could again prey upon
the Great, patient. diligent, but help

into any European conflict. The pres
ident pointed out that no direct action |
such as the sending Of troops to any
part of the world to maintain or re-
store order could be taken by the
Council of the League without a unani.

therefore our vote could at once mega

Dur soldiers where we did not want

II you have to Quench a fire In CALI

Relatives Must Apply to
Pershing for Discharges
General to Pass ON ALI Gases of
Sickness and Distress Az
fecting Men in Europe

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 1.-General
Pershing will pass upon all applications
for the discharge of American soldiers
abroad. Such applications, based upon
sickness. or distress at home, must be
made by letter direct to General Per-
shing by relatives. The War Depart
ment has notified Adjutant General
Gilkyson of New Jersey to this effect
and has asked his cooperation.
Soldiers who may be sent to the
United States for immediate discharge
are those who entered the service after
April 1, 1917, and who submit proofs
that there is sickness or other distress
in their families that would warrant
their discharge, or for whom such proof
is submitted by relatives or other in
terested persons.
Officers or soldiers submitting suf-
ficient reasons may be discharged in
Europe if they waive claim for sea
travel allowance. They may, however,
receive allowances for travel to the
port of embarkation and from Hoboken
to the place of their entry into the
service.
Any enlisted man who entered the
service before April 1. 1917, may be
sent home for furlough when sickness
or other distress necessitates his pres
encc with his family.
Relatives of men in the service who
wish to take advantage OF these regu-
lntions must write General Pershing
direct.
