THE FEDERATED CHURCH

Next Sunday the anti-saloon league of America requests that each church mention the great fight which is still being wages by the liquor forces. We will be glad to do it and we want to say that the fight to enforce prohibit tion is hard one and we should stand right by our state and local officers in enforcing the laws.
 Our offer to preach special sermon to the young people last Sunday morn- ing was responded to by large num- Der. The evening service was well at tended considering that it was raining. There is no question as to the splendid meetings which all three Christian Endeavors are having these days. You are really missing something ex- tremely good if you do not come. Our mid-week service is we'll atteded; come and help us. We are seeking to make Friday night social as well as an educational event. We will have pictures of interest and a surprise this Friday evening. All are welcome. Some important changes were ar ranged for at the S. S. board meeting last week and some new teachers were secured. We are seeking to make our Sunday school an organization worthy of the name. If there are any child ren or young people or anybody else that you know of who do not attend Sunday school, we wish you would invite them. Last Thursday evening three car loads of people drove over to Williams to attend the revival meeting which Rev. Haudenschield is holding in the M. F.. church. Several people came forward at the close of tho service, thus showing their desire to become followers of Christ. Some people seem to think God has to hide his face from the extreme sin of the times but if you would only seek to keep yourself informed on the matter, you would see that God is working in mighty power in the lives of people these days. The opportunity that God is seeking is an opportunity of work ing through humanity.
 You are welcome to all our services.

WOMEN WILL NOT BE BOSSED
 IN POLITICS, SAYS MISS TOLES

"Women will not submit to be being politically bossed," Elsie Toles, elected superintendent of public instruction by Arizona voters, told group of women when she addressed the College club on the subject of "Women's Citizen ship" in Phoenix last week.
 The program presented by Miss Toles was continuation of the series inaugurated at the initial meeting of the club by Mrs. H. A. Guild, who out lined the beginnings and development of women's organizations.
 Miss Toles reviewed politics from precinct to national convention and ex- plained that woman was involved in politics even though she hid in the home and only looked out of the win dow.
 She spoke on the uncertainty of es- tablished politicians who are prone to wonder which way the cat will jump out of the bag-whether women will feel party loyalty, form a sex party or think and decide for themselves. It was at this point in her argument that Miss Toles declared "Women will not be bossed politically"
 Miss Toles touched upon the extent to which politics should function in government. She opposed education being controlled as a matter of politics and advocated that the penitentiary and reform school be removed from politics.
 Featuring her talk with women in politics, Miss Toles said that women although novices ''in the game" were not amateurs. She touched upon the bills pending in congress in which wo- men are particularly interested and spoke of the need of having clear thinking women members of that body.
 She advocated a live practical course of civics in the schools as the first step in the preparatory course of citizenship. In conclusion Miss Toles read an excerpt from an article in well known magazine, Fifty Cues tions for the Woman Voter; A Test of Intelligent Citizenship" by Ida Clyde Clark

BERLIN WON'T NEGOTIATE
Simons Tells Reichstag Of Attitude
On Rsparations.

Berlin, Feb. I.--Dr. Walter Simons,
the foreign minister, declared in the
rcichstag today that the government
would refuse to negotiate on the basis
of the entente decisions regarding
reparations \ and would formulate
counter propositions. His position
was supported by all the party lead
ers except the Communists; who
heckled and jeered him when he con-
cluded speaking.
DR.. Simons said the German gov
crnment was unable either to refuse
or to agree to participate in the forth
coming London conference because it
had not yet been invited to send rep
resentatives.
DR.. Simon's declaration of the Ger
man government attitude consisted
of lengthy criticism of the terms,
and concluded as follows:
Not having received as yet an in
vitation to the London conference, the
German government cannot accept or
refuse to participate in it. but declares
in the meantime that it refuses to ne
gotiate on the basis of the entente de-
cisions and that it will formulate -coull-
ter propositions"

FIX GERMANY'S DEBT
The Allied Supreme Council Accepts
II Reparations Plan Submitted by
N Committee.

AS Paris, Jan. 2o--The German repair
.ations plan, as drafted by the special
Committee of the supreme council of
the allies, was signed by the council
members tonight --"
II The German disarmament agree
1I1ent also was signed.
Nm The disarmament agreement pro-
yides for the complete disbandment OF
Ahe Einwohnerwehr and other So
called civic guard organizations not
permitted under the treaty. of YER
sailles. The disbandment must be
completed by July I next. The penal
ties for failure, Premier BRAND said,
are stronger than those arranged for
at the Spa conference.
The council agreed to forego pay
ments for reparations and other debts
from Austria in. order to enable her
the better to negotiate for outside aid
The penalties provided in the rep
arations plan are in general the same
as under the Treaty of Versailles, in
Guiding both military and economic
measures.
Germany will be required to pay 226
billion gold marks in forty-two annual
iAstallments. The first two INSTALL
iaents would be billion marks, the
next three 3 billion, the next three 4
Billion, the next three billion an1
the next thirty -one 6 billion each.
\ In addition. Germany would be re-
asiired to pay IN per cent tax on
Her exports. This tax, calculated on
the basis OF German exports in 1913,
would total 4 little more than / I-2
billion gold marks.s The plan would
place the task for collecting the tax
on the allied reparations commission.
AS q guarantee against Germany
defaulting on her payments the COM
n1ittee recommended that in suci, an
SSeut German customs might be
neized and new or increased taxes be
iAposed without prejudice to any
measure the allies might take If this
plan proved inadequate. Finally,
Germany would be forbidden to con-
tract any foreign loan without per-
mission from the rcparations cominis-
sion.
