ALLIES MAY GO
AHEAD WITHOUT US,
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Great Britain
and France are considering whether
they are not compelled to carry out
the German peace treaty and ope1 .s
the league of nations independently Of
the United States, pending the de-
cision Of the American government On
its course.
1t is pointed out that matters are
continually arising under the treaty
which need immediate attention, sucn
as plebiscite commissions. and it is
considered that because Of this fact it
it no longer possible to delay making
the pact operative.
The opinion strongly prevails here
that Great Britain will not accept any
reservations made by the U. S. senate
which would necessitate the negotia-
tion Of a new treaty. as the British
government, it is declared, has every
present intention of abiding by the de-
cisions of the Paris conference.
The belief still exists in this capital
that the American government will
ultimately take its place with the
allies. Meanwhile there appears to be
a possibility that Great Britain and
the others will proceed without the
United States

Peace and Righteousness.

Righteousness means victory with
the help of the Spirit of God over our
selves. over our inclinations, our pas
sions, our tempers, our whole sinful
natures. There is no peace without
victory in the spiritual life and l am
inclined to think that holds good be-
tween men and nations. There is no
peace until righteousness is done. The
Prophet said: "They have healed also
the hurt of my people slightly, saving
Peace. Peace, when there is no peace"
There must be Righteousness toward
God and our fellowmen if there is to
be peace and good will on earth

Why Colds are Dangerous

You are often told to beware Fl
a cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as cold
prepares the system for the recep
ton and development of the germs
of consumption, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold, the
less the danger of contracting one
