SUNDAY STARRED
ON THE DIAMOND
IN YOUNG DAYS

Billy Sunday was no bush
Lacquer when he toddled about the
bases 81 years ago. Choirmaster
Homer A. Rodeheaver recalled
some whiskered sport dope-yester-
day evening at the regular meet
ing, when he told the high school
AMI college students of the record
madc by Sunday with the White
SOE.
"Rill broke the record" he said
HE made the round of the bases
from home and back, dis
lance of 140 yards, in an elipse, in
IA seconds. Any of you who have
tried that can see what that means.
He was no SLOUGH. Bill Sunday
was rated among the topliners in
BASEBALL. and Ty Cobb or none Of
the rest had anything on him"

fence to tears. By this time Mr..
Sunday had taken second good
look at the singer and discovered
that he was none other than ivan
Williams, the noeed singer, who
has thrilled great audiences for
many years with the magic Of h.
voice. but who has lately died.
Mr.. Matthews also spoke OF the
similarity Of simple songs of
more or less popular nature to sa-
cred hymns. This is especially
true on the Hawaiian national
hymn, which has as the founda-
ton for its musical setting the
hymn Pass Me Not On Gentle Sa-
vior" In playing the two musical
numbers the audience could at once
hear the similarity.

expected that this program will be
followed throughout the series.

One service will likewise be held in
Moline tomorrow morning, though

the military terms of the preliminary
peace treaty with Germany will be-
taken up this afternoon at the meet
ing of the supreme war council. It
is believed that the treaty will be

England He is expected back in
Paris in a week.
While the forthcoming treaty is
termed preliminary it will contain
most Of the features of the final
treaty, fixing Germany's military
and naval and defining the bounda-
ries of that nation. It will also dis
pose Of the questions of economic
freedom and reparation.
The allied nations will be given
40 to so days in which to ratify the
treaty but ermany will be given
much shorter time. The preliminary
treaties with Austria, Turkey and
Bulgaria viii follow the German
treaty cleaning up the loose ends
and co-ordinating the separate pre-
liminary treaties will finish the work
