ALLIES CONCEDING NOTHING ironic Replies to Brockdorff-Rantzau's Notes Displeased American Ex- pert s Resign Wilson's Stand on Wartime Prohibition Arouses Storm Suf. frarje Winning In Congress. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Stalling and playing for time hy hnndlng In many voluminous protests nnd promising to produce many more, the German delegates to the peace con ferenec succeeded last week In gaining n extension of time to May lit) for making their full reply to the treaty terms. To expedite the work Brock-dorff-Rantznu naked leave for a spe clul train to tnke printing presses nnd printers to Versailles. Among tho notes, ho snld, that nre to be presented to the nllles were thoso dealing with Alsace-Lorraine, with the decupled territories, with the extent nnd discharge of tho repara tions obligation undertaken hy Ger many, with lnhor Inws, with German private property In enemy countries, and with territorial questions In tho east. Tho nnswers of the nllles to the notes already submitted by the Ger mans could not hnve given the latter much encouragement as to results. When they complnlneil of tho taking of mines nnd nitrate beds they were told the treaty did not prevent their buying minerals nnd nitrates from other na tions; when they objected to the loss of their mercantile shipping nnd the consequent loss of employment for their pallors, they were reminded thnt the nllles were not tHus nearly com pensated for their losses due to sub marine rnvnges; nnd when they said Germany would be unable to feed her populntlon If deprived of ngrlculturnl lands, they were told the reduction of populntlon through the loss of territory left her fewer mouths to feed, nnd tho Germans could easily obtain agricul tural products from other countries. The attitude of the nllled delegntes Is that their countries hnve suffered far too much already, nnd It Is tho turn of Germany, nnd they nssert the Germnn people cannot shirk the re sponsibility for tho war because of n pnrtlnl nnd perhnps nomlnnl change In their form of government nnd In Its personalities. Such, Indeed, wns the substance of the reply of the council of four to tho Germnn note regarding reparations, In which the Hun dele gntes declnred Germany would not ad mlt responsibility. They were told It wns too Into to tnke such n position ind that It was Impossible to disasso ciate responsibility from reparation. Having asserted the Germnn peoplo would not have undertaken n war of Aggression, they nre reminded thnt they approved of Secretnry Lnnslng's note of November R, 1018, In which It Vas stated thnt the obligation to lake reparation "arises out of Ger many's aggression by land, sea nnd tlr." The Germans asked that the re port of the commission on responslbll ity be communicated to them ; this was peremptorily refused. Of course It Is apparent that In try ing to disclaim the responsibility of the German people for tho war of ag gression the Berlin delegates are rely Ing on President Wilson's early conten tion that America wiib making war not on the German people hut on the military autocracy thnt was oppressing them. After n while he admitted he was disillusioned hy realization that the German people heartily supported their government as long bb they were winning battles .and then he directed the exertion of "force without stint or limit." However, the Germans choose to remember rather his former stand, and on that and the Fourteen Points, they bnse most of their objections to tho treaty terms. Those points are especially emphasized In the statement Issued last week by the Scholdemnnn cabinet which says Germany cannot possibly accept tho treaty as formu Intcd. Whnt the Germans really will do nbout the trenty Is still the subject of much speculation. Opinion In Paris that they ultimately will sign Is un changed, nnd Is supported by advices from Ilerlln to the effect thnt n power ful party Is growing there In favor of submitting to the allies nnd gaining pence that will permit tho resumption of business. In this the Independent Socialists are Joined by bunkers, mer chants nnd many others, who say that anything would be preferable to bol Micvlsm. In Washington It is believed thnt the Elfcrt government may retire temporarily In order to let a dummy government approve the treaty. The dummies thereupon would be ousted' by public opinion and the Khert crowd could return, but the trenty would have been signed. It may be that flnal ratification of the treaty will be delayed by tho ac tion of the United Stntes senntc, which hns begun debate on the lengue of nations covenant. Some Republican lenders wish to notify tho pence con ference formally thnt tho covenant must he nmended nnd should be sepa rated from the peace treaty of which It Is now nn Integral pnrt. It is certain, too, thnt the pence terms will be scru tinized nt length by tho sennte. Sen ntor Hitchcock nnd other supporters of tho government nre convinced that both the treaty and the league cove nant will bo ratified by the sennte. An Interesting fact concerning the peace negotiations has Just developed. A number of tho experts attached to the American delegation hnve resigned, declnrlng the trenty Is unacceptable to them In many respects. They were tnken over to gnther historical, racial nnd other dnta, nnd they nssert that tho mass of Information they handed In has not been used or even rend by the delegates. They more than Inti mate that the framing of the pence trenty degenerated quickly Into n proc ess of bnrgnlnlng nnd thnt Mr. Wilson wns compelled to surrender his Idenls, one nfter nnother, In order to put ncross his mnln Idea of a league of nations. According to these mnleon tents, the settlement of the Snar basin, Danzig, Shantung nnd other problems wns nil wrong, and they evidently hnve no confidence thnt the Italian muddle will be cleared up properly and Justly. What shall ho done with Turkey? wns n question thnt occupied the atten tlon of the council of four last week, President Wilson acting rather In nn advisory capacity since Amerlcn was not nt war with the Porte. Some of the delegates wish the sultnn to be re moved to n smnll territory In Asia Minor nnd Constantinople turned over to the United Stntes under mnndnte. The Indlnn delegates, however, fear that to force the sultan to quit Con stantinople would cause great trouble In the Mohammedan world, and there fore the British prefer that he be left there hut with only spiritual powers. Though It seems to be accepted that America shall be the mandatory for Armenia, it Is not nt nil certain that the American people would be willing to take charge of the Turkish capital. Continued lighting between the Poles and the Ukrainians gave the delegates added trouble, for the Ukrainians, who were losing ground In Gnllcln, com plained bitterly, blaming the "Insane policy of the allies In supporting tho Poles." Pnderewskl apparently cannot compel his countrymen to cease hos Mlltles, and the council of four took under consideration the wisdom of giving further support to nny people who refuso to obey orders from the conference. Jews throughout the world nlso have been aroused against tho Poles by reports of bloody pogroms In which thousands of their race havo been slain, and mass-meetings of pro test were held last week In the larger American clUes. The lenders of tho Poles deny the accuracy of tho stories and point to the fact that their relief organization is supplying food nnd clothing to .Tew and gentile alike. Recent news from the near Knst says Lenlnc and Trntzky hnve established airplane communication with the Hun garian communists ami are urging Bcln' Kun to hold out at all costs, promising nld ns soon as they got possession of Roumanla. The Red army, It Is assert ed, has orders to bum Budapest and scatter If too bard pressed. Meanwhile an anti-communist government has been set up at Arad. Hungary, and the belief that It has the backing of tho nllles Is continued by the arrival thero of Gen. Frnnchet d'Esperey for tho purpose of directing n new "movement against Budapest. Lenlne Is quoted ns declnrlng ho will make class warfare until capitalism Is destroyed nnd tho whole world Is one In brotherhood. Admiral Kolchak has been notified that the allies will recognize the gov ernment at Omsk as soon ns It Is firm ly established and a constituent ns sembly Is formed, and he hns replied that ho Is striving hopefully toward that end. It Is said only 50,000 of tho Czeeho-Slovnk troops who went to missin are iert, and these are making their way to their homes In Bohemia. The International womnn's congress at Zurich, nfter registering Its oppo sition to the peace trenty, has adopt ed n resolution declnrlng thnt the women of tho world will go on strike tho moment nnother war stnrts, wheth er or not It Is ordered by the league ot nations. President Wilson's messnge cabled from Paris and rend to congress as sembled In extraordinary session, made vnrlous recommendations for do mestic legislation, most of which had been anticipated by tho caucus pro gram of the Republicans, who control both houses. These Include tho ques tion of labor, the revision of taxes, the stimulating of foreign trade, the return of telegraph and telephone lines to their owners, the settlement of the railroad question and the adoption of woman suffrage. Mr. Wilson added the advice that the war-time prohibi tion Inw, which goes into effect July 1, be nmended or repealed In so far as It npplles to beers and wines. For n day or so the "wets" were Jubilant over this part of the messnge, but the "drys" promptly declared their Intention to prevent any such action ns the presi dent recommended, nnd took steps to put Into effect the mensure ns It stands. Temperance nnd church bod ies nil over the country Joined In de nunclntlon of Mr. Wilson for whnt they termed surrender to the enemy. Sheppnrd of Texas, Introducing In the sennte n bill providing means for en forcement of the law, said he knew of no senator bravo enough to Intro duce n bill repenllng the mensure, nnd In nny event such nn nttempt would be certnlnly defented. He attributed the president's attitude to representa tions made to htm of widespread un rest among labor as to enforcement ol the lnw. The suffragists nre nbout to renp the reward of their years of strenuous effort. Tho house last week passed a resolution for n suffrage amendment to the Constitution, and there seems to be no doubt thnt the senate will take similar notion, for enough votes nre pledged. The vote In the house was 301 to 88, most of the opposition coming from the Southern Democrats. Speetaculnr success and tragic fail ure marked the week's doings In aerial navigation. Three American navy sen planes, after making tho flight to New foundland, sailed away for the Azores along n course dotted with navy ves sels. One reached Its destination safe ly, one was lost nenr the Islands, though the crew was rescued, and tho third, after landing on the water, "tax led" 205 miles to its port a wonder ful achievement. The successful plane war prepared for further flight to Portugnl and thence to England. Pilot Hawker and Navigator Grieve, In'thelr Sopwlth plane, undertook their long-planned flight direct from New foundland to Ireland, and met the fate of so many pioneers. They never reached land, and Just what befell them probably will be forever a mystery. Tn splto of the fnct that Buffalo county supervisors refused to set nsldo funds for tho exhibit of Its products nt the. State Fair this fall, the county will bo represented a Kearney business man having agreed to stand the responsibility of raising the "necessary" to finance the ven ture. According to reports reaching the Siato Agricultural department nt Lin coln, farmers In a great many conn tlos of the state are not rnNIng the normal number of pigs this year. Cool weather, which catiued heavy losses fiom pneumonia, anil high pries of grain nn said to be responsible. Three Donne college students, Francis Wjilkln, Royal McDonald nnd Evelyn Mnsek, were drowned In tho Blue river nt Crete when a canoe In which they were riding capsized s the occupants were changing seats. Suffrage leaders nt Washington count only three U. S. senators west of the Mississippi as being opposed to the Anthony amendment. They aro Hitchcock of this state, Reed of Mis fcourl nnd Borah of Idaho. The attorney general of Nebraska hns ruled that members of the state legislature nre not eligible to seats In the constitutional convention un less they resign their membership in the former body. A number of fanners' unions in the vicinity of Ornml Island have formed n co-operative elevator association, known as the Farmers' co-operative nnd educational union of Grand Island. A movement Is on foot nt McCook to construct n new, up-to-date hotel. McCook has long needed a modern hostelry nnd It is now thought the right men are behind the project to make it a go. The actual value of railroad proi erty In Nebraska, for taxation pur poses, has been fixed by the stnt. board of equalization at $2S l.150,0S5. which Is the same as n year ago. The state highways commissioner has sent out notices to the sheriffs 'Jif every Nebras'.a county, requesting them to round up automobile drivers still using a 101S licence tag. As the result of an Increase In rate granted the telephone company nt Fremont by the state railway commis sion, many citizens are talking of having their 'phones removed. Citizens df Burwell nre not waiting for cheaper building material to begin construction work. Already permits have been Issued this spring for pro jects costing around $50,000. The Omaha Flying company, the second nerlnl navigation firm to be organized in Nebraska since the war, has tiled articles of Incorporation with the secretnry of state. Every town and district In Cedar county oversubscribed their quotas in tho Victory loan campaign. This, It Is believed, Is a record unequalled by nny county In Nebraska. A detailed roll call on the adoption of the woman suffrage resolution in the lower house of congress last week showed every Nebraska member voted In favor of It. Dr. Brewster of Beaver City made two successful flights in his airplane during the past week to visit patients, one to Herndon, Kans., and one to McCook. A movement to erect n publlc'bulld Ing in Box Butte county ns a memor ial to the soldiers nnd sailors of the district Is gaining favor rapidly In the county. The names of nbout lf0 wenlthy Plntte county men who fnlled to take their quotns of victory bonds are to be furnished the government. A Community club has been organ ized at Wahoo. Any resident of Saunders county Is eligible to Join tho now organization. Plans nre being perfected for pav ing approximately fifty miles of the Lincoln Highway In enstern Ne braska.

Dry forces of Nebraska are plan ning to besiege representatives of congress from this state with pro tests against any action looking tovvnrd the repeal of the war-time prohibition net ns recommended in President Wilson's message. Nebraska will produce twice the amount of winter wheat this year that It did in 1018, latest estimates plac ing tho yield at 70,700,000 bushels. Despite tho fact that pastures aro the finest ever known In the state, hay Is selling for $45 n ton In many districts, and hard to get- at that.

Obcdlonc. und Its Itrunrd. , Obey nml How. ' Hi:.Mrm AMU .nniM. :-nr.. . .. enco a. Test of Dlsclpleshlp. I. A Notable Example of Obedlenco (Gen. lli:l-4). At the commnnd of God Abraham went out not knowing whither he went (Hob. li:S). His was not tho obedience of convenience or prudence. To separate from home and kindred and take up the life of a pilgrim wns not easy. Abraham did not stop to ask why, or what he would got" out of It. The obedience that asks why Is not obedience at nil. II. The Motive of Obedience (John 11 :21-24). The grand Incentive of obedience Is love to God. The obedience that Is the result of fear or the hope of re ward Is not true obedience, therefore has not the approval of God. Only the child who reverences his father and affectionately strives to obey him enjoys his loving favor. The obedi ence which springs out of a heart of love Issues In a life of Joy and friend ship with God (John 15:10-14). III. The Solemn Obligation of Obe dience (Matt. 7:10-20). 1. Warnings against false prophets (vv. 15-20). (1) Their real existence. Ever since God has had n people false prophets and teachers have appeared among them. This need not surprise us, for Christ predicted Unit such should lie the case. (2) Tlielr nnture (v. 15). (n) Hypo critical? The devil .does his most suc cessful work by masquerading as an migol of light (II Cor. 7:14. 15). His ministers appear hi this way and turn people from the narrow to the hroiul way. (h) This Is suggested hy their being "ravening wolves." It Is When the wolf Is in sheep's clotting that ho dofs his most destructive work. The enemies of Christ posing ns Ills min isters nre most destructive. CD The unfailing test (rv. 10-18). Tlielr fruits. If one gives sufficient time for development tho fruit can be discerned. Every tree bears Its own kind of fruit. Nature is Inexorable In her law as to this. You may search the universe In vain for an exception. It is equnlly true In tho spiritual world. There Is n vital connection between the faith of n heart and the fruit of a life. Thnt which comes out. In the conduct was first In the heart. A right heart Is essential to right con duct. Give the false teachers suffi cient time and observe closely and you will find that their lives will prove the teaching. (4) Their end (v. 10). All falso teachers shall finally be punished by being cast into the fire. Although God bears long he wlil see to It that thin wickedness docs not go on forever. 2. The dangers of empty profession (vv. 21-2H). Calling Christ "Lord" will not an swer for disobedience to his will. One may even be a Sunday school teacher or preacher, and even perform many mighty works, as casting out devils and healing the sick nnd yet hear the awful declaration of Jesus Christ, "I never knew you," "depart from me." 3. The one and only snfo wny (vv. 24-20). (1) Ilenr the snylngs of Christ. To do this, one must prayerfully nttend to rending the Word of God nnd medi tate upon the snme. (2) Do whnt Christ commands. Hearing and doing the teachings of Christ Is building upon solid rock. Such building can never be destroyed by flood and storm. Hearing and not doing Chrlst'B snylngs Is building upon the sand which In time of the storm of God's wrath and judgment will be utterly destroyed. Obedience must follow hearing Christ. The Need of God. People nre asking In these days of upheaval and chaos, "What is w'rong with the world." It needs God; It needs the religion of Jesus Christ and It needs that religion 'practically em bodied In the lives of men. We see it In the lives of these men of the gospel. We need men like that mul tiplied mnny-fold In every church. We. need men like that multiplied ten thou sandfold In our land. Rejoice! O God, animate us to cheerfulness I May we have a Joyful senso of our blcsjlngs, learn to look on tho bright circumstances of our lot, nnd mnln tnla n perpetual contentedness. Channlng. Every Want Supplied. Precious to us, 0 Lord, Is tho death of thy saints, which mnkes us heirs pf so grent n wealth : which leaves us furnished with so great variety of ex amples, that every want Is abundantly pijruillod.
