acted, it is expected, the chief of the German delegation will start on his return trip to Versailles.
 The detailed reply, a summary of which was made public in Paris on Monday night, fails to make material altera lions in the fundamental fea- lures of the treaty. There are some concessions, but they appear to be of a rather minor nature compared with the demands made by the Germans in their counter proposals. One of the principal concessions is the admis- sion of Germany to the league of na- uons 'in the early future'' if she full fills her obligations.
 A notable feature of the allied re- ply was the covering letter by Pre- mfer Clemenceau, president of the peace congress. which was a scathing arraignment of Germany for launch- ing the war and conducting hostilities so ruthlessly. It pointed out that the German people supported the war and that the peace of justice demanded must be one of justice not only for Germany but for the other peoples of the world.

THROUGH EYES OF PAINTER
Beauty of Things, az He Has Seen
Them, Are Made Visible for
All to Behold.

When we see the sunsets vaporous
hills towering IN purple and gold, or
the gray road winding between the
flaming furze, or the blue river roll
ing amid the green fields, where the
sheep stand white On The bank and
the red cattle Craze, we feel we are
part Of the scene, and are included
in the web Of wonder. We behold a
new world, whose horizon we cannot
see. and whose messages we do not
clearly understand. Most Of us are
too busy to wait ard worship there,
but ever the painter waits aud wof-
ships. Whatever he painted
contained beauty already, but lie
alone perceived ii and caressed it,
and ont of his love more beauty is
unfolded, so that when we look at
his achievement our eyes become
brighter and brighter and more SEN
sitive, ourselves greater, and we are
able to glimpse that cver-arching
and inexpressible beauty of which
we, and the picture, are only the out
ermost fringe. 1t is triumphant
trio, which will show us the promis-
ing vista. First the visible subject
to be painted, then the painter, and
lastly the beholder.-W. A. Sinclair,
