terday when class Sunday was held at
the Uniyersalist church. Rev. Stanley
g. Spear, '93, Dexter, Me-, preached the
baccalaureate sermon. The church was
prettily decorated with ferns and wild
roses and the class motto, "In 0mnia
Paratus." The seniors, so in number,
and the juniors marched in, marshaled
by Paul Cate. The music was furnished
by the girls glee club and by some spe-
cial music students from the seminary
The professional, "Festal March," was
played by Prof. w. A. Wheaton. After
the students had marched in the girls

the invocation and the responsive read
ing and another song, "The Good Shep-
herd (Barri) by the glee club, in which
Marjorie Worcester took the solo part. In
response TO the prayer Annie Sargent, a
music student, sang But the Lord is
Mindful of His Own" (Mendelssohnl in

Press Germany to-day requested an
additional As hours within which TO

reservations refused by the entente. The

mier Clemenceau met with Premier
Lloyd George at the latter's house for
consideration of the note The character
of this communication was not disclosed,
however, nntil later in the morning,

German request had been rejected

rached after discussion lasting less
than an hour.

"To His Excellency, the President of the
Peace Conference, Mr.. Clemenceau.
"Mr. President-The minister for for
eign affairs instruets me to beg the allied
and associated governments to prolong
for As hours the time limit for answer
ing your excellencys note communicated

limit for answering the note Of June 10,
1919.
1t was only on Saturday, after great
difficulties, that a new cabinet was
formed which, unlike its predecessors,
could come to an agreement to declare
its willingness to sign the treaty as re-
CARDS nearly all its provisions. The ma
tional assembly has expressed its conf
dence in this cabinet by large ma iority
of votes. The answer only arrived here
just before midnight, as the direct wire
from Versailles TO Weimar was out Of
order. The government must come into
contact anew with the national assem-
bly, in order to take the grievous decision
which Is still required of it in such a
manner as it can only be taken in ac.
eoFdance with democratic principles and
with the internal situation in Germany.
Accept Mr.. President, the assurance
of my highest consideration

granted to your excellency to make
