Washington April S.-Speciiic i'll
structions from President Wilson
that the sailing of his steamer, the
George Washington, be expedited
immediately, wer" received today al
the Navy department through Ad-
miral William S. Benson, chief OF
naval operations, at Paris. AS Ee-
suit the vessel viii leave New York
for Brca. at the earliest opportunity
probabir next Friday.
Admiral Benson's message gave
no reason for the presidents order
and the White House professed to
have no information on the subject
but interpreting it i'll the light OF
press dispatches from Paris telling
of the presidents determination that
delays 1T tn peace conference must
end. most officials regarded it as
significant. Addet importance also
was given by the fact that this was
the second message from the ad-
miral regarding the ships departure,
the first, received yesterday, having
inquired as to the time the vessel
could get under way.
Bv fast steaming the George
Washington should reach Brest by
April II. She would be held there
subject to the presidents orders, it
was said, and thus would be avail
able in the event Mr.. Wilson should
decide to cut short his stay at Paris.
In some quarters it was explained
that without his ship at a French
port the president might find him
self in somewhat embarrassing
position should he decide to leave
the French capital before the treaty
rad been agreed upon.
Hopeful Outlook.
Late press dispatches from Paris
indicated that a more hopeful view
as to the progress OF the peace ne
gotta tons was entertained than had
been for several days and this view
was reflected in a cablegram re-
ceived tonight by Secretary Tu-
multy from Rear Admiral Grayson,
the presidents personal physician,
who reported that the general sit
uation had improved slightly.
Secretary Tumulty said he had
not been advised as to the sltua-
ton which had led the president
to order the George Washington to
Brest and that Admiral Grayson
in sending the message received
tonight was cognizant of the state
of affairs through press dispatches
from the French capital.
Orders Early Sailing.
The George Washington arrived
at New York from Brest March 2S.
after taking President Wilson back
TO France and naval officials de-
cided to lay her up for a few weeks
for an overhauling. Mr.. Roosevelt
explained today that the ship was
not i'll need of any extensive re-
pairs. but that it was regarded as
desirable TO do some work on her
at that time.
When she went to the New York
navy yard officers estimated that
she would be ready to sail again
Aext Monday, but on communicating
with the navy yard yesterday after
receiving Admiral Benson's first
message, Mr.. Roosevelt found that
the vessel could start four days
earlier.

RETURN OF
PRESIDENT

Progress Made by Council Of
Four Leads to Renewed Con.
fidenCe in Early Settle
ment of Peace Terms.

Paris, April 8--President Will
son met with the premiers OF Great
Britain, France and Italy today for
the first time since he became ill.,
The discussion OF responsibility for
the war and the Sarre valley, which
was unfinished today, will be con-
tinued tomorrow.
1t was not indicated whether the
president made any reference to the
summoring of the George Wash
ington.
On account OF the presidents
weakened condition the afternoon
session was comparatively short,
Mr., Wilson lying down immediate
" after its adjournment, although it
was stated at the white house" that
he was gradually improving and ex-
pected to attend all the meetings OF
the council hereafter.
The return Of President Wilson to
the council of four and the progress
made on various questions has re-
moved much of the tension which
existed in conference circles and has
led to renewed confidence in an
early and satisfactory conclusion.
Reparation Problem Settled.
The repiration problem now is
considered definitely settled and
only MINOR details concerning the
functions OF the commission to al
lot the annual installments from
Germany remain to be arranged. The
Polish question, including the status
of Danzig, is also nearing settle
ment on the basil OF International
ization of the city. Danzig as a
free port avoids the necessity Of
recognizing the claims Of either Po-
land or Germany, while the former
will have a corridor to the Baltic to
the limits of the internationalized

THE GREAT MYSTERY I'm.
YELLED.

After careful consideration I
have decided that I am making
such slow progress in getting
the Great Mystery" story be-
fore my readers that I might as
we'll discontinue it. Owing to
lack Of space, the installments
had to be so short that it was
next to impossible for the reader
to keep up interest in them. It
is a great and important SUBJ
ject, but it is rather complicated,
and when bitten off in such
short bites the reader hardly
gets a taste, and then he has to
wait a month for another taste,
and by that time he has forgot
ten what the other taste was
about. A person needs to read
the story right straight along in
order to keep the connection and
grasp the meaning of it. There
fore it is better to have it in
book form. Many books have
been written on the subject,
but I think the one I have been
quoting from (by William A.
Redding) is about the plainest
and easiest understood of any.
You can get this book, "The
Great Mystery Unveiled" by
sending $1.25 to Ernest Loemis,
Peekskill, N. Y.

sion the very day his time was
out. Well, the time passed on,
and of course you didn't try to
kick him out before the time, be-
cause you had no right to do so.
But on the last day of the last
year, when you expected him to
get out, he still showed no signs
of getting out. You went to him
and reminded him that his time
was up and you must have your
house. But the renter got mad
and swore he was not going to
get out at all. He was going to
stay right there. Then what
would you do? You would have
to call to your assistance the au-
thorities of the law and try to
MAKE the man get out. And
maybe that legal process would
consume several months before
you finally got the man out.
And during those months he
would still be occupying your
house. But that wouldn't
change the fact that his time
was LEGALLY out. He was
occupying on YOUR time and
not his own"
Now that exactly illustrates
this great world-situation. God
gave the Gentiles a lease of pow
er over the world for $500 years
just that long and no longer.
And he had the contract all writ
ten down in the Bible, notifying
the Gentiles that they must not
expect to stay in power any
longer after their lease of $500
years was out. But when the
lease was out Tin 1910 the
great Gentle nations were hav-
ing such a big time Of it that
they didn't want to give up. So
they put their trust in big ar
mics and navies and just swore
fat-down that they had the
power and they were going to
keep it. Then what did God do
He began to set the machinery
in motion to MAKE the nations
of the earth obey His will and
get out. They put up a terrible
fight against Germany and they
thought that when Germany
was whipped that would end it,
But that didn't halfway end it,
as they are now compelled to ad-
nit. They are now beginning
to see other dangers ahead even
more to be dreaded than Ger
many was. And the thrones are

We are scared half to death
for fear the spark of Bolshe-
vism will catch and flame up
here in America. There is dan
ger, but why? The answer is,
the living conditions of the poor
working people. The remedy?
Give the workers here a square
deal and a chance to live decent
ly, and you couldn't DOG them
into Bolshevism. But just let
matters drift from bad to worse
like they have been drifting,
with no consideration shown for
the welfare of the workers, and
you will see America swept by a
tidal wave of Bolshevism, in
spite of all your Overman COM
mittees.

CUT OUT THE

Some folks are so bound
and prejudiced toward their old
established views that nothing in
in Il world can change them.
They seem to think it would be an
awful sin to change their views
about any thing, even though con-
vinced that they had been wrong.
They prefer to go on in q way
that they know to be wrong
rather than to acknowledge their
m stake and get right.
But that's not me. If I know
my own heart, / Am entirely free
from prejudice. But it was not
always so. / used to be just as
bide-bound a Baptist as you could
find in forty states. I swallowed
all that unreasonable dope about
the imnrortaisoul going to heaven
when you die, eternal torment,
and all the resi- of it. Why2 Sim
ply because I had been raised that
way and hadn't yet begun to do
any thinking for myself.
However, when [ did get my
thinker to working, I soon discov-
cred that the ready. made creeds
wouldn't do to depend on. Right
there ended my creed-worship,
and right there began my search
for something both sensible and
satisfying. To this good day I
have not found any man nor any
set of men that | am willing to
follow all the way through. Some
have one truth and some another,
but ali have q lot of error mixed
along with it. To feel absolutely
free in my mental and spiritual
life, and to form my own opinions
and change them when they need
changing that is my method now.
The wise man changes, but the.
fool never does. l am going to
edit this paper to day according
to the very best light l have to-
day, while | keep right on trying
to get better light tomorrow. This
old world is moving these days,
and q stationary creed is out of
date.
Now, mister, lie you've got
breadth and hberality enough to
travel with old Pearson along this
road, come ahead.

TRYING TO HOLD ON.

the Gentiles." He was so en-
tirely uniformed on the subject
that it was hard to get him to
see anything. But I was trying
to convince him how VERY
PLAIN the Scripture proof is
that God had marked off a Ger
tain number of years for the
Gentle nations to rule the
world. Of course the actual
number was given in such a way
as to keep it hidden until the
"due time" for it to be known,
but when you once get the full
force of the argument you SIM
ply can't doubt it any more.
The number Of years that the
Gentiles were to rule the world
is plainly set down as $500
years, and there are several con-
verging lines of PROOF that
this number is correct.
Well, then, if the Gentiles
were to rule the world for $500
years, the first thing for us to
do is to find out when this per-
iod began. That is very sim
pie. It was bound to be at the
time when the Jewish nation,
AS A NATION, ceased to exist,
and we have plenty of evidence
both in and out Of the Bible that
the Jewish nation finally went
out of existence in COG B. C. If
you are travelling on a road and
you know where one mile gives
out, you know that the next mile
starts right there at the same
place where the first one ends.
And so the 252O-year period
known as the '"Times of the
Gentiles" started right there at
6O6 B. C.
Having found out when the
1920 years started, it is a very
easy matter to find out when
they must end. Just take the
sos years that were back of the
birth of Christ and subtract
them from the whole number
1920, and the remainder will be
1914. So we see that the
Times of the Gentiles positively
ended in 1914-right where the
Great War started. The very
day that the war broke out
Aug. LIST, 1914-was the divld-
inc line. The Gentle nations
had a legal right to rule the
world right up to that day, but
right there their lease OF power
ended.
But the man I was talking to
couldn't see the sense OF nay ar
gument.
Times of the Gentiles are fully
out, how does it happen that
they are still in power here near
" five years later? Why does
not the new Israel Kingdom you
talk so much about come in and
take control"
"Let me illustrate it to you
this way" said I. Suppose you
owned a house that you were not
needing for yourself, and 50 you
rented it to a man for SEVEN
YEARS The years were to be-
gin the first day of January and
end the last day of December
seven years later. Well, during
those years your renter would
have undisputed possession OF
that house, and you would have
no right to try to get him Out
