President About to Start on His
Trip to Tell People About
the Peace Treaty.
LIVING COST IS INVOLVED
Opponents of Pact Propose Many
Amendments to Keep America
From "Foreign Entanglements"
Montenegro Revolts
Against Serbian Rule
Palmer Predicts
Lower Prices.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Being satisfied that economic condi
tions Uie world over absolutely depend
pn the ratification of the peace treaty,
find decidedly disturbed by the violent
assaults on that pact In the senate
commlttco on foreign relations, Presi
dent Wilson determined that his speak
ing tour of tho country could not be
much longer postponed. He announced
that he would start on Wednesday,
September 8, nnd would visit nbout 50
ef the principal cities, being absent
from Washington about 25 days. At
San Francisco he will review tho Pa
cific fleet. It was said In Washington
that tho president considered tho trip
of greater lmportnnco than any func
tion nrranged for tho reception of
Genernl Pershing, who Is about to
come home.
The peace treaty Is by no meuns the
only subject on which Mr. Wilson will
address the people. He Is much exer
cised by tho lubor sltuntlon, especially
as It applies to the railroads, and will
take the opportunity to try to Impress
on the workers the wisdom of avoiding
strikes In order to allay unrest and
restore normal conditions and thus
help bring down the cost of living.
Washington to the effect that the
Shnntung affair has caused a brench
between the president and Colonel
House. It Is said Mr. Wilson took the
ndvlce of House In the matter, reject
ing that of the other members of the
Amerlcnn delegation, nnd that now the
Texan Is In disfavor and Is resting In
London preparatory to coming home.
Nuturnlly, those close to the president
denied the tale, saying House was In
London helping tho British ofllclals In
tho organization of the League of Na
tions. The nenr East docs not surrender Its
supremacy among trouble-making re
gions. Tho Turks continue to mas
sacre the Armenians; tho Bulgarians
nnd Greeks are nt swords' points over
Thrace; the Jugo-Slavs and Italians
are getting ready to fight over the pos
session of Flume, nnd now the whole
of Montenegro has broken out In re
volt against the rule of the Serbians.
The latter are using strong mensures
to suppress the revolt, but the na
tional spirit of the Montenegrins lias
reawakened and fighting Is genernl
throughout the country. Just how tho
forced Inclusion of Montenegro in the
new state of Jugo-Slavla, against Its
will, Is squared with the principle of
self-determination never has been ex
plained to the world.
Renr Admiral Bristol, commander of
the American naval forces In Turkey,
warned the Porte not long ago that"
tho mnssacres of Armenians must
cease. This uctlon nroused some criti
cism In the supreme pence council, bo
cause the United States has not yet
accepted the mandate over any parts
of the Turkish empire; but the vexa
tion of the French nnd British was al
layed when Mr. Polk explained that
the wnrnlng, though It enmo from
President Wilson, 'was unofllclnl nnd
wns transmitted In an Informal way by
Admiral Bristol. The British troops
are being withdrawn from Armenia
and it Is predicted that unless the
country Is strongly policed by foreign
troops several hundred thousands of
Armenians will either stnrvc or be
slaughtered by the Turks, Kurds, Tar
tars and Georgians. Even now these
peoples nre greatly hindering the work
of the American relief commission.
Genernl "applause wns accorded
President Wilson's nctlon In refusing
to grant to tho railway shopmen more
than n slight Incrense of wages, nnd
his statement explaining his course
and appealing to the mciir-and to all
workers, to stop striking nnd get to
work to Incrense production nnd there
by help reduce the cost of living. He
declared It vital to public welfare that
demands for higher wages, "unwisely
mnde nnd passionately Insisted on,"
should cease, and that there should be
a truce In Industrial disputes until In
telligent settlements enn bo made. In
this he was supported by Warren S.
Stone, chief of tho engineers, whose
statement Implied that the shopmen, If
they Insisted on striking, would not be
helped by the four great railway broth
erhoods. The leaders of the shopmen
rejected the settlement offered by
President Wilson and ordered that the
locals take n vote on the question.
In his statement Mr. Wilson called
tho present n "temporary situation
which will last, In nil probability, only
for n limited time," and In so far as
the cost of the necessaries of life Is
concerned Attorney Genernl Palmer
agrees ,wlWi him. Mr. Palmer believes
the price of almost every necessity will
be lower next year than this, and that
persons who buy clothing and other
articles now for next yenr will be
fooled nnd nre only helping to keep
prices high. Reduction will be
brought about, he thinks, by the activ
ities of the government ngulnst prof
iteers nnd hoarders, the operation of
fnlr'prlce committees, and especlnlly
by Increased production. He sees In
tho arguments that Induce people to
buy now nn organized propaganda pro
moted by greedy dealers.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 14
Allinnce's new theater, built nt n r'se their rate.
Some half n dozen of the most stub
born opponents of the pence treaty In
the senate also will leave Washington
during the week to appcnl to the coun
try to uphold them In the position they
have taken. Among them will bo Sen
ators Johnson, Polndexter, Borah and
Reed. They are not going to trnll the
president, but will expend their ef
forts mainly In stntes whose senators
are classed among the mild reservn
tlonlsts. These senntors, they hope,
vim be forced to Join the group of ex-
remlsts. The hitter are now openly
trying to defeat not only the League
of Nntlon's covenant but the main
body of the trenty. With this end In
view the foreign relntlons committee,
which they control, has adopted a
series of amendments to the trenty of
fered by Senator Fall. These not only
would restore Shantung directly to
China, but would exclude the United
States from all the Interallied com
missions sot up by tho pact except
thnt on repnrntlons. Lodge nnd his
followers hold that the treaty, even If
drastically amended, would leave the
United States liable to become em
broiled In tho controversies of Europe
nnd Asln.
This nctlon of the committee was
bitterly assailed In the senate by Dem
ocrats nnd by Republicans of tho "mild
reservation" group, nnd It was pre
dicted thnt the amendments would not
be accepted by tho senate. Scnntor
McCumber especially attacked the
Shantung amendment, declaring It was
the greatest blow that could he struck
at tho real Interests of China. Sena
tor Borah replied that the Shantung
nettlemcnt wns Indefensible from the
standpoint of International morals
and common decency. .
s In this connection tho fact that Dr.
Paul Relnsch, our minister to China,
has JuHt resigned Is significant. It Is
understood In Washington that he
found his position In Peking untenable
on account of the approval of the
Shantung settlement by the American
peace delegates, since, according to the
general belief, he had a good deal to
do with iraundlng China to enter the
Mar ou promises of American support.

THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS.
LESSON TKXT-Miitt. 25:31-41"..
GOLDEN TEXT-For wo must nil ap
pear beforo tho Judgment scat of Christ,
-II Cor. 5:10. ,
Tho subject selected by tho lesson
committee Is "Tho Future Life." but
nt. best such a statement would be
the use of tho term In an accommo
dated sense. According to legitimate
textual nnd contextual signification It
Is the Judgment of the living nations
which lies still In the future (v. U2).
The Idea of n general judgment
which Is of such frequent occurrenco
In religious lltcrnture nnd teaching Is
n fundamental error. It Is not onco
found In the Bible, neither the Idea
which It Is Intended to convey. Doc
tor Pentecost most distinctively says,
"It Is a mischievous habit that has led
tho Christian world to speak of tho
Judgment ns being one great event
taking plncc nt the end of the world,
when nil human beings, saints, sin
ners, Jews nnd Gentiles, the living
nnd the dend, shall stand up beforo
the grent white throne nnd there bo
Judged. Nothing enn be more wide of
tho Scriptures." The Blhlo speaks of
different Judgments, differing In re
spect to the subjects to be Judged, tho
place of judgment, the time of Judg
ment nnd the result of the Judgment.
This Is not the Judgment set forth
In Revelation 20:11-14, but precedes
that one at least one thousand years.
I. The Judae (v. Rl.L
It Is the Son of Man, tho one who
camo and died to redeem the human
race, and who now being clothed with
majesty and power will act as Judge.
Those who accept him now shall not
come into the Judgment (John 5:24).
II. The Time (v. 31).
This will he when the Lord comes
In his glory, accompanied by a retinue
.of glorious angels. This will take
place after he has gathered the elect
remnant of Israel. There will be no
resurrection In connection with this
Judgment v --
III. The Place (v. 31).
It'wlll be on his glorious throne.
This thronewill bo most sorely In the

Jacob forever, nnd of his kingdom
there shnll be no cna." (Luke 1:31-33).

IV. The People Judged (w. 82-45).
These will be the living nntlons up
on the earth after the church has been
translated (I Thess. 4:10, 17). These
nro the nntlons io whom jho gospel of
tho kingdom shnll be preached, Just
prior to tho coming of the end. "And
this gospel of the kingdom shnll be
preached In nil tho world for a wit
ness unto nil nntlons and then shnll
the end como" (Matt. 24:14). This
gospel Is distinguished from the gos
pel of tho grace of God which Is now
being prenched. The preachers of this
gospel will be Jews (Rev. 7 and Rom.
11). Theso are tho brethren In tho
flesh, of tho Lord, they that move
among tho nntlons of the world with
the startling messnge of tho news of
the Lord's nppronchlng kingdom.
Seme of the nations will gladly re
ceive the messago nnd most kindly re
ceive the king's messengers, giving
them clothing, food, shelter, etc. Oth
ers will persecute them, thrusting
them Into prison, etc. Here tho for
mer will visit theso messengers of tho
king nnd provide for their wunt,s. At
this tlmo the Judge will scpnrato tho
nations, placing the sheepLon the right
nnd the goats on tho left. Tho "sheep"
nre those who have given proper treat
ment to Christ's brethren. The goats
nro those who rejected and Ill-treated
his brethren. If theso three classes,
tho j'shcep," "goats," "brethren," be
kept scpnrato all confusion will be
avoided.
V. The Issue of the Judgment, (v. 40,
cf. 34-41).
1. Tho sheep enter upon tho Inheri
tance of n prepared kingdom (v. 34).
2, The gonts go Into nn everlasting
flro prepared for tho devil and his
angels (v. 40). This Judgment Bhnll
determine their destiny.
