OTHER POWERS WILL PUT PACT
 INTO EFFECT

London, Nov. 21-"The inability of the United States representative at
 Paris to deposit President Wilson's
 ratification of the German treaty at
 the same time those of other powers
 are filed will not prevent the Allied and associated powers from proceed
 ing to carry the treaty into effect"
 said Andrew Bonar Law, government
 leader in the House of Commons to- day. in answer to numerous questions
 regarding the status of the treaty as i j result of the American Senate's ac-
 tion.
 In answer to a question from Sir Donald MacLean, MT. Bonar Law said:
 Without doubt there will be no slackening in the determination of Great Britain to do all in her power
 to take the lead in seeing that the League of Nations become an effect i've instrument of human progress. I think would be mistake to assume that all possibility of help from the l United States is gone.'' Referring to the possibility \ an alteration in the date of formal rat if1catton of the treaty (which has been tentatively fixed for Dec. D Mr. Bonar Law said:
 That must depend upon whether there is a possibility of a change in the view of the Senate at its meet l ing in December"
 Asked whether the action of tn Q | United States would affect the Anglo French American treaty, the govern ment leader declared:
  | which so far has been unratiffed by | the United States, was contingent upon it's also being carried by the I United States. Another situation
 might create a new condition of af- | fairs.''

plain their determination to fight to
the last ditch" against rurther revision
of the devotional service and, it is
said, their stand is having strong in

THE general convention has gone as
far as it can on revision OF the book
of prayer" said one Virginian. IF an
attempt is made to force the issue on
the reservation of the sacrament and
it is successfully pushed the Virginia
delegation will meet the situation. The
Virginia church was out of the general
convention four years (the civil war

can stand alone again."
The Virginia delegates, opposing the
