To Organize Churches.

Denver.-A concrete movement in
Colorado to eliminate UNCONVENTIONAL
lines among churches was initiated at
a meeting of about thirty-fve minis
tiers and laymen from all denomina-
tions, held in Denver this week. A
plan was drawn for the establish
ment of a league of churches which
it is proposed will be an Incorporated
body representing all denominations,
with the power to supervise interde-
nominational churches. The plan is
part of a liberal church movement
which has gained ground in all parts
of the country to eliminate the en-
phasis placed upon UNCONVENTIONAL
control and conserve the force of the
ministry for missionary labors. 1t
is the plan to have services conducted
which will have nothing of denomi-
na~tionalism about them and to have
the churches in charge of broadmind-
ed men who are in sympathy with the
movement, so that the organization
will work in perfect harmony.

Wants Uniform HOnOred.

Washington.-In a general order
published to the army, Secretary
Baker called upon officers and men to
maintain the high regard for the
uniform which has been established
throughout the country. Thru hearty
cooperation and discipline of the Off
GERS and men of the army, the coun-
try has acquired a new respect for
the uniform. You men have main
tanned your high standards, not only
by soldierly conduct in the camps and
bravery in the trenches, but in your
regard for civilian ideals when on
leave or furlough, and in this you
have established record e to all
armies. l confidently expect you to
maintain your standards throughout
the trying days of rehabilitation,
when the tendency to throw off army
discipline and restraints will be
strong"

Paris, Jan. 1S.-All is in readiness
for the commencement today Of the
Peace Congress. At a meeting at
tended by President Wilson and other
leaders of the great powers, the dele
cations which are to sit in the Con-
gress we're completed by according
to Belgium and Serbia three delegates
each and two representatives to the
king of the Hedjas, whose forces in
the Holy Land so materially aided
the British in overcoming the Turks.
At a meeting the question of the ad-
mission of the press to the confer
ences was also acted upon. 1t was
decided that the newspaper men should
be admitted to the meetings of the
full conferences, but that on neces-
sary occasions the deliberations Ct
the conference might be held in Sc
cret.
1t was determined in reaching this
decision limiting the activities of the
press thatswhile not undertaking the
Importance of public opinion, the pro-
cess of reaching a favorable solution
of the task before the Congress would
be hindered if discussion of every dis
puted question were to open by a pub.
lie declaration by each delegation Of
it's own national point of view.
1t has been tentatively decided that
three representatives of the press
each of the allied and associated pow
ers will be admitted to the confer
ence. The conference probably will
be organized in a name similar to
the American Congress, with secret
committee meetings to discuss deli
cate questions, with formal open ses-
sions and with executive sessions, as
in the United States Senate.
The proceedings of a peace confer
ence are far more analogous to the
meetings of a cabinet than to those
of a legislature. Nobody has ever
suggested that cabinet meetings
should be held in public, and if they
were so held the work of government
would become impossible. One rea-
son why cabinets are held in private
is in order that differences may be
reconciled and agreements reached be-
fore the stage of publicity is begun:
The essence of the democratic method
is not that the deliberations of a gov
eminent are to be conducted in pub
lie, but that it's conclusions be SUBJ
ject to the consideration of a popular
chamber and to free and open dis
c~ussion on the platform and by the
press.
