In his last great novel Winston
Churchill says, Modern con-
ditions themselves are tending to
force anew on the workingman
and the business man that Christ

the Saviour and Redeemer of the

which takes no heed Of him can
not prevail. Society, as it changes,
must conform itself more and more
to His teaching"
"Christ, Our Saviour is the

IS THE BURNING QUESTION
OF THE HOUR AT THE
PEACE CONFERENCE.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
SUGGESTS THAT ANOTH-
Err INVITATION BE EX-
TENDED AND THAT OBJ
JECTIONABLE FEATURES
OF THE FIRST BE ELIMI-
MATED.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE attention of
the delegates to the peace conference
is focused on Russia. The failure of
the various heads of government in
that country to accept the invitation
of the allied governments to attend
the conference at Prinkipo has
brought the necessity for some other
action. ..
Winston Spencer Churchill has
proposed that another invitation be
extended and that some of the con-
ditions that seemed Objectionable in
the first be eliminated. If the Su-
preme Council accepts this sugges-
ton it is not certain but that the
conference will be held at some place
other than Prinkifo Islands.
1t is possible that a request will
be made for meeting of represen-
tatives of all the Russian govern
ments and If that will not effect a
conference that negotiations will be
initiated or commissioners be ap-
pointed to get in touch with the op-
posing members to such a confer
ence.

CHINESE DELEGATES
ORDERED DISCLOSE
Contents of Secret Treaties
Between Japan and China
to Peace Conference
ORDERS FROM PRESIDENT

Peking, Feb. 17.-Premier Chin
Nunhsun, under instructions from
President Shih Chang, sent dis
patch to the Chinese peace dele-
gates instructing them to disclose
to the Peace Conference the Sham
tung Railway agreement and other
secret agreements with japan. 1t
is reported that the president is en-
countering opposition from his pro-
Japan cabinet at every step.
The japanese are said to desire
the publicity of the Shantung
agreement in the hope that tie con-
ference will recognize it's validity;
while the Chinese hope that as the
agreement has not been ratified and
it would give Japan permanent
position in Shantung, the confer
ence will recognize it's injustice.

Copenhagen, Feb. 17.-Replying
to a request by Matthias Erzberger,
head of the German Armistice Com
mission, for a delay in the signing
of the armistice terms until today
noon, Marshal Foch declared that
the last hour for signing would be
six o'clock Sunday afternoon, in or
der to be able to issue the necessa-
ry orders to the troops. II not
signed then, Marshal Foch said he
would be obliged to leave Treves
and the armistice would not longer
be in force. Answering Erzberger's
counter-demands, Marshal FOch
said the new armistice terms had
been fixed by the heads Of the asso-
ciated governments and that he was
unable to alter them.
A Weimar dispatch under date Of
Saturday, Feb. Is, says the German
government requested an extel-
sion of "a hours time in which to
reply to Marshal Foch's proposal
for a prolongaticn of the armis-
tice. 1t was pointed out that, ow-
ing to the delay in receiving the ar
mistice commissions report, a reply
could not be returned by o'clock
as fixed by Marshall Foch.
