HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT

Germany Finds That Lord Curzon's
Speech Holds Out Hope-Must
Have Rhineland Back Again.
Berlin, April 23 (By the Associated
Press)-Dr. Gustave Stresemann
leader of the peoples party. told a
public gathering here yesterday that
Lord Curzon's speech in the house of
lords last Friday had created a new
political situation which the German
government would take at its proper
value. What Lord Curzon said about
settlement of the reparations ques-
ton, he asserted, formed a suitable
basis for a continuation of inter-allied
discussion.
An understanding could be reached
with Germany, DR.. Stresemann added,
regarding German reparations "for
our life and death does not depend on
whether we pay a billion gold marks
or less.
'They do, however depend on the
Rhine and the Ruhr remaining Ger
man." he continued, there can there
fore be no understanding about the
surrender of the German Rhineland.
'If Lord Curzon wishes to be an
honest agent between Germany and
France he must base his attitude
on the fact that German sovereignty
over the Rhineland is regarded by
every German government and every
German party as an obvious condition
to any definite peace settlement"

REV. JOHN |, DAVIS
ON CLEAN HEART
Visitor From Shantune Signs
E. B. G. Book in Chinese

when a man goes after the Other
fellow and can back up his testimon,
with his own life, then he Is sure &c
make the other fellow believe" said
Rev. John l.. Davis yesterday tc
Everyman's Bible class. In a sermon
on "a Clean Heart"
The speaker continued, when we
have such a heart we will not be
afraid to show what Is In our heart
and our life. We will have that cour-
age which comes from purity. Most
men are afraid because they are not
right at heart. They would be afraid
to have their records read before the
world.
"A clean heart is not all a man
needs, he needs clean spirit. ]
know some people who have clean
heart but not right spirit. II Is a
shame that a right spirit does not al
ways go with n clean heart Some OF
the best people ever knew, faithful
to church. always prayed, believed IN
God, believed In the scriptures and
would stand up and argue for the doc
trine of the church showed by the
very spirit of the way in which they
argued that they could not influence
others.
There are people who go around
preaching religion with bottle OF
vinegar in one hand and a lemon In
the other, ready to sour others. 1t Is
one thing to believe in the church,
the Bible and all that but you can
stand up and fight for the Bible In
such spirit that will drive everyone
away. You have clean heart but
have not the right spirit. Don't
think because you have a clean heart,
you have everything. You cannot win
men to Jesus Christ that way. We
have got to be kind and sweet wheth-
err we want to be so or not.
EVERY man speaks two languages.
One is the language of tone and the
other the language Of words. There
are lot of people going through
life who don't know that. The very
spirit in which they speak drives 9TH
ers away They do not know why
other people do not like it. That
is the reason. Go and think 1t over,
the sweet spirit. Every institution,
every church, every manufacturing
establishment has its spirit.
IF God withdrew his influence from
men where would we be today? /
knew certain people in life and they
were people who had no desire to be
good. Thank God that His spirit is
with you today and pleading with you
not to drive it from you.
Some people have just enough re-
ligion to make them miserable. If
you are going to be religious, be re-
ligious. Give yourself entirely to God
and 1t will be the greatest thing
you ever had in your life.''
There were $40 men present, 81 of
them being members of the P. o. s.
Of A. Among the visitors present
were Frank Mascot of Chatham, N.

SELLS-FLO7O
CIRCUS
Hundreds Pack big Top on
Opening Day Of the
Show.

Camp Meigs wasn't lonesome last
night, when thousands Of feet of all
sizes trudged the tanbark to the
main entrance of the big top" of the
Sells-Floto circus.
When hard-headed business men
tread upon each others toes at the
pink lemonade counter and flushed
matrons of the settled" type
clamor for, purple balloons. some
thing is wrong-or right. Very adj
mirably did the Sells-Floto outfit
perform the peculiarly American
miracle of reducing age and> dignity
to the level OF ten-year-old.
With mouths, which often opened
wide in wonder, stolid Washingto-
mans mechanically munched pea
nuts, in accordance with the time
honored circus rite, and dropped the
shells down inside the 1412 collar OF
the equally enthralled customer on
the seat in front.
Over the great colorful panorama
of humming activity arc lights
glowed and sputtered in occasional
haloes Of moths.
Many were the hearts that stopped
for a moment in dreadful expecta-
ton as the Ward family Of acrobats
made fun Of the dangers Of space.
If you're surprised at the number OF
stiff, sore necks in Washington to-
day, recall that a great audience
watched Erma Ward performing
aerial somersaults while hanging
from a rope by one hand. Her rec
ord Is 216 turns.
Joe Hodgini drew heavy applause
with his trick riding. as did the
equestrian fears of the Hobson
troupe and the Kimball sisters. An
other act of great interest was Irene
Ledgett's company of trained ele-
plants.
The opening performance was pre-
ceded by a street parade. The show
will be repeated this afternoon and
tonight.

The death of Wilckens ended the

Varela was leaving his home. Wick
