were commanded to keep the Sabbath
day; but we Christians are not bound

Jeremy Taylor The Lords day did
not succeed in the place of the Sab

Canon Barry-The notion Of a for

the Jewish Sabbath has no basis what

Bishop Warburton The observance
Of the Sabbath is no more Christian

Naturally" the Premier said. "this

ditionally the demand to be permitted

War Cost l97 Billions i'm
Money Alone, Says Baker

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1s.-"The
cost of the war in money alone was
S197 100000, 900, or $11 100000, 900
more than the total property value of
all of North America" Secretary of War
Newton d. Raker told a gathering at

lowing his arrival with General Peyton

army posts.
"The deaths from wounds in battle

Referring to the proposed league Of

"Unless such an organization is

desire for some sort Of preliminary ar
rangement which should at least make
real beginning in peace conditions
and mako 1t promptly was almost in
calculable. But If the desire is uni
vcrsal, recognition Of the necessity Of

quito as generally existent; neither
Lloyd George nor Clemenceau could af-
ford to make issue over a question in
which tho President Of the United
States manifested an infexible deter

Now comes q great question: How
long is postponement Of the prelimi-
nary peace treaty to be expected?
am told by the American spokesmen
that the league of nations covenant can
be in shape on Thursday and that the
whole treaty can be ready for the Ger
mans on April /. am told in certain
other quarters that it will be May
before the preliminary treaty is ready,
although it will at least momentarily
Interrupt British and French demobil-
ization, which cannot go much further
until Germany is disarmed. IF there
be no treaty before May it will mean

five weeks
The American commission expects a
preliminary peace which in all impor-
tsnt respects will be the final treaty
of peace, to be signed by April 7. This
treaty Will contain the covenant of the
leagne Of nations, and no treaty or
ar1nistace without the covenant is to be
signed in the meantime.

European Statesmen Say
E0ery Peace Delay Is Due
To american Objections
{ (csyrtgtn., 1918. Nrw York Trifu1ps Inc,

PARIS, March 17.-The statesmen Of
Europe remark that practically every
delay in the conclusion Of peace has
been due TO objections raised by the
American peace delegation-meaning
the President Particularly has this been
true In regard to questions of repara-
tionss punishment OF the ex-Kaiser and
his fellow criminals and the delimita-
ton Of German frontiers. In every in
stance they have been told that the OBJ
jections Of Mr. Wilson were bascu .n
This they regard as admira oie--l1
the formation OF snch league is Ger

ing agreement between the member
from the United States that there is
strong party there in favor Of a pro-
vlso that any nation may Hisnulaw
from such league at will, and also
in opposition TO the formation of any
league whatever
During Mr. Wilson's first stay here
everything was subordinated to the
drafting of league of nations cove
nant- When he departed with the draft
in his pocket, those who remained. in
eluding Colonel House, addressed
themselves with a great deal Of energy
TO revision Of practical matters lead
ing toward peace with Germany. 1t is
certain Colonel House kept tho Presi-
dent informed Of Developments Mr..
Wilson did not disapprovc when the
military, naval, economic, aerial and
financial terms were agreed upon.
Nor was il al that time suggested
that the Interpretation of these mat

Of nations. On the contrary, the as
sumption was permitted that immehl-
ately pnon the return of the President
to Paris, or as soon as he had been
acquainted with the processes Of their
development, it would be possible to
summon, the German delegates to sign
the treaty,
There is. of course, the possibility
that Mr.. Wilson meant no more than

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 1S.-
Angered at his disagreeing with Presi-

hall during an address by United States
Senator James A. Reed, Of Missouri, be-
fore joint assembly of the Missouri
House and Senate to-day.
Senator Reed stated that the Presi-

"No, mol" came in a chorus from the
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tivcs, mingled with loud applause from
the Republican side and from the
crowded galleries.
Members jumped from their seats and
amid the confusion tho sixteen Repre-

Tonight Representative Tolson an
nounced that the sixteen Representa-
tivos planned to introduce tomorrow
a resolution indorsng the league and

the new capital building heard Senator
Reeds address, which consumed more
than three hours.

seek TO protect it against the indigna-
tion Of the American people by arguing
that the council has only the power to
recommend and that it is then optional
with the several nations to comply or

Let us examine that miserable argu-
ment. IF it be true statement then
the league is backed by no force what
soever and the league is an innOcuous
thing. Why multiply so many words
about armies and navics and force if
there is to be no force?
"1f, however, it is contendcd that the
obligation is morally binding, then in
decd we are worse off--because the
United States will keep its moral obi-
cations, whereas some other nations
might not.
"All these contentious were utterly
destroyed by the President, who. when

Mr. Wilson'S leadership, and the pro-

card.
In the meantime, the work of revis-

begun and will be finished with the ut

Presidents wishes, At. the same time,
decision will be made in all matters
concerning Germany. Austrian, Bull

Once the preliminary treaty is signed
and the league Of nations thus created,
it is the Presidents idea that it will

mandatories, and such other questions
as remain unsettled.

In detail Senator Reed analyzei the
league charter, copies of which ne had
distributed to all members Of the
joint legislative session. Declaring
that the tentative constitution was cf
British origin, he asserted that Amer
ica would be directly entangled IN
European alliances and added:
european diplomats have skilfully
woven their spiders web so that we
may be caught in it's meshes and may
be bound for all time to send our gal
liant sons to assist the dominant ma
tions OF the earth in policing the
world and ultimately to assist some
of them in the ambitions for power
or in quarrels over territory"
Sees European Alliances
Asserting that the charter contains
no provision for withdrawal of nations
from the leage, Senator Reed con-
tinued:
"Those who conceived its structure
did not intend to allow the United
States to escape, once it should fate
fully step within the entaneling web.
"The American people were told that
the constitution of the league had
peen conceived DV american represent

luctant Europe. 1t now transpres that
the entire scheme, from lirst to last,
with some slight notifications, is the

mary treaty. 1t may be, it is granted,
that the President merely wanted
time to study the terms Professionally
agreed upon, and that affairs will now
progress with speed. But there is
grave apprehension on the part of AL
lied statesmen that Mr.. Wilson's visit
to America disclosed to him such a
condition of the American public's
mind that it is imperative, from the
point of view of his own and his
party's political future, to write The
league of nations into whatever in
ternational pact may be drafted
and thus bind a recalcitrant Senate in
advance to an approval of his acts as
the dictator of peace and creator of
new world combination.
If this hypothesis is correct, then
the European statesmen see ahead
wearisome delays and the jeopardzing
of plans for the restoration of order

Control Of Seized
Gables Is Left to the
Conference by British

PARIS, March 18.-The British
delegation to the peace conference, it
was announced to-day, has consented
to refer to the Supreme Council the
question Of the future ownership of
the German cables to America. All
parties interested in the question arc
preparing briefs.
The American delegates to the peace
conference. it. was reported from Paris
on March IL, were cndeavoring to make
a strong presentation of their case
concerning the captured German ca
bles, as it was realized that if Great
Britain's claims to the cables should
be sustained, it would give the British
virtual monopoly of cable communi-
cation.
The two German cables from Emdcn
to America by way Of the Azores were
cut by the British early in the war.
The cable from Monrovia, Lbc ria, to
Brazil, also was cut. The British took
one end of ono of the German Ameri-
can cables to Halifax, obtaining an
other transatlantic line for themselves.
Inc French government received the
other cable, but has not used it. The
british claim had been that the cables
were prizes Of war.
