That tasks for which eye, ear and

northeast of Duquoin. whose death
occurred several months ago.

Newton withdrew nearly $4,000
from bank at Benton. He and his
wife were involved in litigation and
subsequently divorced. After his
death relatives were unable to find
trace of his treasures. A few days
ago bits of currency scattered by
mice were found in a barn on the
Newton farm. Investigation re-
vealed the treasure box hidden in
one of the stalls
The box was delivered to :he ad-
ministrator of the estate and when
opened was found to contain $500

Russia Certain to Return

Policy in Europe on Russian Friendship
Chief Result of Genoa Conference.

German people as condemned GRIM
inals. and Russians as homicidal
maniacs. Reviving old and bitter
memories of German brutality and
Russian treachery. they have found
IL an easy game to discredit reason
able craftsmanship which like mod
crate public opinion in all countries,
was convinced that for the sake OF
Europe, as a whole. Germany must
be given a chance of peaceful de-
velopment and Russia must be
brought back to trade relations
with the rest of the world. 1t Is
easy to see how these two ideas
conflict. Only angelic souls In
France and Great Britain, and there
are not many, can utterly wipe out
the terrible memories of the war.

average human nature to forget and

TURKS WANT PEACE
TERMS DISCUSSED

CONSTANTINoPLE, April 30
The Sublime Porte. in answering
the allied note demanding the ac-
ceptance of an armistice without
condition, accepts the peace propo-
sails, but reserves the right to dis
cuss particulars, and also refuses to
pay the Greeks compensation for the
evacuation of Smyrna.
The note complains of the injus-
tice of the separation of Thrace from
Turkey, and although 1t accepts the
principle of free passage of the
Dardanelles, objects to the allied
proposals. which do not assure the
security of Constantinople.
The note ignores the allied de-
mand for an armistice by saying
that the Sublime Porte is in ac-
cordance with the proposals.
Hence there are no obstacles be-
tween the commencement of nego-
tiations and the evacuation of
Smyrna.

Mr.. President, you are a Chris

you to propose an appeal to the
estranged nations to forget the
past.
You made a splendid beginning
in calling the arms conference, but
what will its work avail IL Europe
is to become again a slaughter
house? And how shall we escape
il Europe again beats her plow-
shares into swords?
You are a man of PRAYER. Mr..
President. I beg you to turn aside

anime the effect of the Genoa con-
ference upon political and trade

possible to disentangle the realities
of the situation from the wild con-
fusion of passion and prejudice
which has almost smothered them.
In Great Britain II is extremely
difficult for public opinion to know
the facts or form a clear judgment,
because all business of the confer
ence has been made a means of at
tack upon the. power of Lloyd
George. His critics and enemies
were out to kill 1t before IL began.
not because they disapproved OF
the conference. but because they de-
sired to destroy Lloyd George.
