dead from among the people.
II That the Lord spake unto me,
saying.
/ Is Thou art to pass over through
Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
10 And when thou comest nigh
over against the children of Ammon,
distress them not, nor meddle with
them: for l will not give thee of the
land of the children of Ammon any
possessions: because l have given IL
unto the children OF Lot for a pos

them Zamzummim;

True Path IL Obscure.

Although the atmosphere is

riously considers there is the slight
est chance that the allies will not
keep a united front in the full con-
ference where the Germans are pres
ent. However, to date there Is not
the slightest indication as to where
lies the true path that will lead both
the allies and the Germans out OF
the impasse in which the majority
of persons. who have followed the
conference from the beginning, con-
slider il now stands.
While the Eur opeen Peoples would
undoubtedly follow a master mind, -
as shown in their reception to Presi-
dent Wilson until ii was evident
he was not A master mind" il has
now become quite clear that there
is no master mind" in this con-
ference. 1t Is made up of highly

No signing Necessary.

There is no use in the allies a k
ing the Germans TO sign anything
nt the Spa confer ence because the
Germans have already done all the
signing necessary. They have sign
ed the treaty of Versailles. So what
can the allies hope to extract but
promises. the value Of which re-
mLined exactly tho game in the eyes
OF the whole worlc ever since Au-
gust. 1914?
Among the hoPefuls in cur midst
is Paul CravGth. the New York law

night at the beginning of the con-
ference and inscrihee himself at an
obscure little hotel. He told me
he had been ir London; that he was
here merely to zee a friend in the

from here he thought of going to
Paris. But il was rot difficult to
discover that his trip from London
was indirectly via Berlin also. and
that he was Ilanhing to return
