HOLY SEE TO IGNORE
PAN-CH RISTI AN CONGRESS.
- Rome, Aprit 13. It is stated semi
: officially on behalf of the Vatican
' that the holy see has not given its
adherenceto the Pan-Christian con
gress which it is proposed to hold
shortly, as the Catholic church, con
sidering her .dogmatic character,
could not join in the congress on
art equal footing. ,
The feeling of the Vatican?" says
the semi-official expression, is that
all the other Christian denomina
tions seceded from the Roman
church, which descends directly
from Christ, and that, therefore,
Rome can not go to them, it being
. for them to return to her bosom.
',- Tht pope, the expression adds, is
ready to receive representatives , of
i dissident churches with open arms,
"as the Roman church has always
' longed for the unification of all
Christian religion. '
Pope Leo XIII, it is pointedout,
'was-aeeply interested in the ques
' tion and wrote two famous encycli
cals on the subject of the unifica
tion of the Christian churches.

CONSIDER
DATE FOR
GERMANS
"Big Four" Concluding Details
of Draft of Treaty; Lloyd
George Returns to Lon
don Today , f
V .
Paris, April 13. (By The Asso
ciated Press). Quite , unexpect
edly a meeting of the council of
four was held at 6 o'clock this eve
l with IViivitnr'.' U'ti.'on ;u at
tendance. The call for the meeting
resulted from Premier Lloyd
George's determination to return to
London tomorrow.
.The British premier .will, remain
in his home country for a week and,
because of his lengthy absence from
Paris, he and his colleagues decided
to request a final meeting today for
the purpose of closing certain
phases of the discussion, which the
premier considered best for him to
attend to personally, instead of leav
ing the task to Arthur J. Balfour,
his substitute in the council.
Wilson to Issue Statement.
The session, which began at 6
o'clock, ran well into the dinner
hour and broke up after 8 o'clock.
The discussion covered the general
situation,, among other questions
the date it ' would be possible to
conclude the draft of the treaty and
summon the German delegates to
Versailles.
It is understood that Mr. Lloyd
George- attached great importance
to the question of the probable date
of the termination of the work of
the conference, desirous of being
able to give the house of commons
some' idea when tbe long-drawn out
labors of the conference will be n
jshed. If any definite notion of this
"was reached at today's conference
it did not transpire.
No statement -was given out, but
it was announced this evening that
President' Wilson will issue a state
ment tomorrow, presumably, refer
ring to the accomplishments of the
council oi four and of the general
situation to date.
The Italian and Jugo-Slav ques
tions will come before the council
tomorrow, Arthur J. Balfour sitting
in place of Mr. Lloyd-George.
, Wilson's. Health Restored.
During the early hours of the day
the president remained at home, but
later went driving with Mrs. Wil
son,. The bright sunshine after rain
n: the forenoon had filled the streets
with Parisians to 'whom the sight of
the Fresidenrs car has become
familiar. ' .
Little trace of the president's re
cent illness remains, but the large
amount of work of the past week
fatigued him so much that he de
clared he would do absolutely no
work todav.
The only callers were the former
American ambassador and Mrs.
Shaip, wlfo came to say good bye,
as they are leaving for the United
States Monday.
Argument Over Size
Proves Expensive to
Salt Lake City Man
William W. Meyerhoffcr, wealthy
salt Lane city business man, and
member of the Salt Lake City Ath
letic club, is proud of his physique;
so proud, in fact, that it cost him
$100 yesterday.
According to the story he told
the police he met two strangers
on a Northwestern train from Chi
cago. Both men, he said, wfre big fel
lows, weighing probably 190 pounds
each. And when they fell to.brag
giiig of their size Meyerhoffer of
fered to bet he "had 'era topped.'.'
The three pulled off their coats
and -measured their svelling biceps
and arching chests.
ft wasn't until after Meyerhoffer
had written his name and ad
dress for the men at their prom
ise to send him some literature
relative to land they said they
had for sale and had left the train,
that he realized that while one of
them had measured his biceps the
other had measured his wallet in the
coat he had discarded.
Meyerhoffer said he lost $80 in
traveler's checks and $20 in cash
by the measuring process.

Copenhagen, April 13. Herr Neuring, war minister in

FRANCE TO HAVE
USE OF MINES IN
SARREJALLEY
Reparation Question Settled
on Satisfactory Basis,
Clemenceau Assures ,
Radical Socialists.
Paris, April 13. (Havas.) Pre
mier Clemenceau told a deputation
of the radical socialist group which
called upon him today that the ques
tion of reparation by Germany had
been settled among the allies a f'w
hours previously on a basis that
would satisfy theSeslres of the dep
utation as these had been presented
to him, and that the same could
be saidfor the negotiations con
cerning the Sarre valley.
The deputation was headed by
Deputy Rene Renqult, who set forth
to the premier that the group con -
sidered it of great importancetharfl
the league of nations should be or
ganized in -such, a way as 'to pre
vent, in future, any attempt against
the security of the world and the
independence of its people.
Guarantees Demanded.
"The group, said its spokesman,
demanded no less hopefully, the
granting of immediate material
guarantees that France should be
protected from any fresh aggressiou.
To reach this end the group cou
Mdered two things necessary a
strongly organized frontier and the
disarmament of Germany, the per
manency of which should be secured
by continuing control.
Concerning reparations, tne mini
mum requirements formulated by
the group comprised placing the
coal mines of the Sarre basin at the
disposal of France, while it con
tended that complete reparation
must be obtained for all damage to
persons and 'property and provision
made for the payment from enemy
funds of all war pensions.
Fremier Clemenceau replied that
he agreed with M. Renoult. They
were animated by the same feeling,
the . premier declared, and it gave
him great joy today to be able to
announce that since the day previous
the question of reparation had been
settled between the -allies on, the,
basis which - the group considered
necessary for France. The same
was true, added the premier, of the
negotiations concerning the Sarre
basin. ,
Delegates Satisfied
At the end of the interview the
delegates of the group declared
thev had every reason to be satis
fied with M. Clemenceau's declara
tion. The impression was given that
the work of the peace conference
iwas at the point where a conclusion
was in sight and that in a few days
the 'public would be fully informed
of the decisions that had been
reached. Until that time it seems
improbable that the government will
accept a parliamentary debate,
either at a public sitting of the
legislative body or in caucus.'
-The Paris Chamber- of Commerce
passed a resolution yesterday de
manding that the government ob
tain complete reparation from. Ger
many. A similar exprfssion came
from the civic league, which issued
a manifesto -demanding the entire
reimbursement by Germany" of the
damage done and the cost of the
war. - s -

Smaller Than Expected.
The size of the loan was much
smaller than had been anticipated
by most financial . observers, who
looked for anrssue of about $6,000.
0(10,000, particularly in view of Sec
retary Glass' past statements that
the loan would be five or six billion.
This, will be the last Liberty loan
Secretary "Glass explained, although
there will be other issues of govern- '
ment securities to finance Teltd
war expenses. Thesewill not ' le
floated by popular campaigns.
None of the past issues of Liberty
bonds are convertible into Victory
loan notes, and there are no specitic
provisions in the terms of the Vic
tory issue serving to maintain
market prices on past issues.
Campaign Already Begun. .
In many communities the selling
campaign already has begun active
ly, without formal acceptance of
subscriptions, said reports today o
the treasury, although the official -
opening date is April 21, oneweek
from tomorrow. The drive will con ,
tinue three weeks, until May 10.
. "In fixing the terms of tbe issue,"
said Secretary Glass' announcement !
of the Victory loan, "the treasury
has been guided largely bv the rie-
Lsire to devise a security which will
not oniy prove attractive to the peo
ple of the country in the first in
stance, but the. terms of which
should insure a good market for the
notes after the campaign is over
and identical prices for the two.se--!!
rics, and should not affect injuri- V
otisly the market for the existing .
bonds ofthe Liberty loans."
