Of German property in the United
Kingdom, said yesterday it was their
understanding that any surplus OF Ger

1t was explained that the British
had adopted the clearing house sys-

Britain RenOunces Right.
PARIS. October - tby the Associat-
ed Press The French foreign office
received official notification today that
Great Britain renounces the right OF
confiScation of German property in the
United Kingdom. This has caused
great surprise. which is freely expressed
in Trench official circles. as there had
been no previous intimation that such
a move was probable.
French officials emphasize the gray
ity of this move. as they fear Ger
many will make a similar request of
France. which. it is declared. could
not be granted. However. they point
out that the remuneration by Great
Britain of her rights under paragraph
Is. annex IL. of part VIII of the

ing as reported at first.

 PRIMARY CONTEST

Robert Joseph Diven, divine, civic workers and all-round good citizen of Nenana, has consented to be- come a candidate in the forthcom- ing primaries for nomination as Democratic for member of the low CT house of the territorial legis- lature The declaration of Dr. Div en is now in the hands of Commis- sioner R.

 Dr. Diven is the only resident of the Nenana district thus far to de- clare his willingness to enter the primaries, and his name will add materially to the strength of any ticket the Democrats may place in the field. And his presence at Ju- neau as member of the legislature would be equally valuable to the Interior country.

CONTINUE WORK
ON PEACE TREATY
Spirit Of Optimism Has Con-
pletely Fled at Wash

lBy Associated Press 4

10y ASSOClaIeu FTeSSl
WASHINGTON, Jan. The fate
of compromise negotiations ON the
peace treaty remained in doubt today
after the bipartisan conference had
discussed without decision the pro
posal Of the Republicans not to COM
promise article ten. Another meeting
will be held Thursday.
Democratic leaders replying to the
Republican ultimatum regarding Ar
ticle Ten did not present a definite
refusal to go on with the negotiations.
but expressed great surprise, declar-
ing an Article Ten compromise "al-
ready had been assented to by most OF
the members OF the conferences be-
fore the. Republicans served notice
they would not agree to a Compromise.
Under the proposed Compromise as
made public by Senator Hitchcock, OF
Nebraska, the acting Democratic lead
er the senate would declare by rcser-
walton that the United States would
not employ the economic boycott or its
armed forces to preserve the terri
torial integrity OF any other country
unless Congress acted in each speci-
fic case.
After the meeting which developed
some heated discussion some senators
on both sides professed to see hope
that compromise might yet be reach
ed. The general attitude OF the con-
ferees, however, was not one Of op-
timism.

PLEA FOR BOYS IN
REVIVAL SERMON
Rev. DIR. Gee Says Parents
Are Neglecting Their
Duties.

A pleasing finale to the revival SER
vice in the First Presbyterian church
last night was furnished by a little
boy who wandered down the aisle on
an exploring expedition, held out his
chubby hands to DR.. Stoetzer and was
picked up and passed up to Prof.
Mitchell, whose performance in di-
recting the choir with the other hand
he contemplated with grave, but run-
mfstakably admiring interest.
Another, but more startling incl
dent, was the spontaneous burst Of
applause that followed the lovely
duet 81 Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
sung by Mesdames c. w. Waddell and
Forrest Fankhauser.
And, any one who thinks that
preachers take themselves too seri-
ously would have been amused at the
clash of wits between DR.. Stoetzer Of
the First Presbyterian church and
DR.. Gee Of the Methodist Protestant
Temple. In sizing up the decidedly
smart looking audience DIR. Stoetzer
remarked that they all looked like
Presbyterians, whereupon DR.. Gee
told a story of Presbyterian minis
ter who excused his lack of prepara-
ttop on certain occasion by saying
he would trust in the Lord, but next
week." he added, II expect to do bet
ter"
DR.. Gees sermon, based on the
story of the finding Of the child Jesus
in the Temple disputing with the doc
tors, was a mastery plea for the bet
ter understanding and better care of
boys, who he said are too little un-
derstood. The average man, he said.
does notg rasp the idea that the child
mind is largely imaginative; that the
boy who sits in church showing lack
of interest in his surroundings may
be in fancy sailing the Spanish Main

moving adventures by flood or

DR.. Gee drew lesson from the
finding of Jesus in the Temple by
Mary and Joseph, and told parents
that If they bring their children to
the house of God, in time of trial and
tribulation that is where the children
will look for solace. Where are your
