The cosmopolitan char acter of the gathering was no less strik- ing than it's atmosphere of democracy. There were gathered at the table Emirs from Arabia, Maharajahs from India, representatives from China and Siam, and mingled with them we're men from South Africa and Australia, and every quarter of the old and new worlds.

FOOD AND CLOTHING

.proyiding clothing and food for fhese additional members, when so much transport was needed for opera ton along the Tigris river, was a mar -yelous achievement Today the camp is organized as efficiently as many western towns. The water supply ana sanitation are perfect and three nos pitals all modernly equipped to meet medical requirements, are in operation. Nearly 1000 orphans have been pro yided for and the whole population CT the camp is beginning to recover rom the horrors of their exodus from their native lands.

 An important new irrigation proo- ect was opened on January 10 at Man '.z,1reyah. on the Dialea river, some 70 miles northeast of Bagdad. Six montas ago the British irrigation department commenced widening the channel of the river there.
 sa1rhe new canal is six miles long and without further work on it, water can be supplied for the irrigation or 300. 900 acres and render cultivation perfect as far as the neighborhood of Bagdad.
 s~The opening ceremony was carrIea out in the presence of many Arab own- CTS who hailed the completion of the work as striking evidence of the good intentions of the British. The increasa in wealth to the land thus irrigated will certainly be considerable and the increased production of food will be of great importance"

DANIEL PROPHEC|ED
 DOOM 0F THE KAISER
Evangelist Martin Speaks to Large Audience on Bible
 Conception

"Our God saw to it that in this critical hour of the worlds history there was a people prepared by experience to be the standard bearers of democracy and hn- erty to the world" declared Irwin M. Mar tin in his lecture at Loew's theatre last night before a large audience.
 After paying a fitting tribute to Bir- mingham and the people of the south MT. Martin detailed his conception Of the great need of all having better understanding of the Bible He stated that the prophecies of the Bible stand out eminent among the unrefutable evidences of the inspiration of the Bible He said in part:
 Twenty-Five hundred years ago Je- hovah, through His prophet Daniel, made known plans that doomed the Kaiser to failure. This prophecy which is recorded in the second chapter of Daniel, outlines the four great universal kingdoms, Baby lon, Medo- Persia, Grecia and Rome, which were to bear sway over the earth and shows clearly that there never can be another world dominion of autocracy.
 This wonderful dream which was given to Nebuchadnezzar and which out lines the history or the WOfid from that day to this was given to that great king in order that it might be made known what was to come to pass in the latter days In interpreting the dream Daniel makes it plain that there were to be four world domnions. History records the fact that there have been four and only four. The iron monarchy of Rome which was the last of these world do- minions, did not fall to be superseded by another, but went into pieces just as predicted by Daniels interpretation of the 10 toes of the image which the King saw in his dream.
 Many great men have tried to break these seven words of prophecy, They shall not cleave one to another.' Charle- mange tried to weld the nations of Flu rope into one mighty people but he failed Napoleon tried it but met his Waterloo. That the Kaiser has failed Is one more evidence that Gods word is true.
 'Our Saviour said (Mat. 241D And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for witness unto all nations and then shall the end come There is a mighty work to be accomplished by the gospel before the end. It is self-evident that this could not be accomplished under the iron heel of a dominion of autocracy. God has placed upon this nation the responsibility of proclaimng liberty to the world that the gospel may go preparatory to the setting up of His kingdom.
 Next Sunday MT. Martin will speak on the subject, Our Lords Own Prophecy of His Glorious Return

PEACE CONFERENCE MUST DEAL WITH
 ARMENIA AND SYRIA
British Army Has Been Sheltering and Feeding Refugees During Period
 of the War
By Associated Press

London, January 19.-Thousands of re- fugees from Armenia and eastern Syria were sheltered and fed by the British army in Mesopotamia during the war, the work being of such a character that it has been made the subject of special report.
 The statement issued here today fol- lows:
 The future destiny of Armenia and eastern Syrian peoples who have taken refuge with the British in Mesopotamia is one of the problems which the peace congress must consider. At present III the British refugee camp at Baquoas 8 miles from Bagdad, the British are providing for 45,000 people of both races. 'sThe work of feeding, clothing ana housing these refugees, when the Brltlsh were still at grips with the Turks not many miles away, was triumph or or ganization. The sudden influx of some S00Oo people into regions already devas- tated by the ravages of war created a situation of utmost difficulty. The camp at Baoubas were hastily laid out and III three weeks the refugees were taken in at a rate of 1000 per day. Sickness was rife and all the refugees were In an

Jurisdiction must be created which
 should be the first instrument of a league of nations, and in which should
 appear exclusively the states which fought Germany.
 The two French jurors prove that the extradition of the former German ruler
 cannot be refused as he is not a politi- cal refugee. The report says:
 "It is anti-judicial to associate war
 with conspiracy. Crimes of war are crimes of public and international law, not political crimes"
 The authors of the report commence by
 establishing that no penalty is possible against nation any more than against
 a company but that the manager or director of a company can be punished. 'TFhe Emperor in the first place"
 says the report, "as King of Prussia,
 is president of the confederation by
 virtue of a special law in which human
 will does not enter. The German SOW
 ereign depends only on God and the sword. With such conception of poweHit would be unjusticiable to the highest degree to allow the Emperor
 to escape responsibility for his &C.,
 tions; his responsibility for the war
 for which, under the constitution, the decision belonged to him alone; his
 responsibility for violation of Belgian neutrality, which was willed by him; his responsibility for acts of terrorism by his troops, which he willed and or Iadered."
 The report quotes letter from the former Emperor to the Emperor of Austria in the early days of the war in which the German Emperor wrote My soul is torn asunder, but every thing must be put to fire and blood. The throats of men and women, chill
 drend and the aged must be cut and not tree nor house left standing. with such methods of terror which alone can strike so degenerate a peo- pie as the French, the war will finish before two months, while if I use hu-
 manitarian methods it may proIong for years. Despite all my repugnance, l have had to choose the first system" The words "I' and "yny" in the letter are italicized in the report.
 Modern law" the report continues, "does not recognize irresponsible au- thorities. even at the summit of hier- srchy. It brings a state down from it's pedestal and makes it submit to the rules of the judge.
 There can, therefore, be no ques- | tion of saving from the judge a man who is at the summit of hierarchy,
 either by the application of internal
 or of international law"

 President Wilson probably will travel by train, having army motor cars meet him at different points for tour of the region surrounding the stopping places.
 It now appears the Presidents visit to Brussels will be deferred until he is ready to depart for home. One plan under consideration is for MT. Wilson to leave Paris on special train which will carry the whole presidential party to the Belgian capital. From there the President will go direct to Calais with out returning to Paris, crossing the Eng fish channel and sailing from some Eng fish port.
