W. T. MAtON NEW YORK, Nov. 14. —Germany is continuing with subtle persistence her effort to secure the support of the Unit ed States as special counsel at the peace table. Bv trying to create the Impression that in the United States Germany has z a lenient friend at court, the govern ment at Berlin Is seeking to start con troversies at the peace conference be tween America and the other democratic nations. There is undoubted danger to America's world prestige in this ef fort of the Germans to isolate America from the allies. Hitherto, world pres tige has had little interest for Ameri cans, but now that the United States may be destined to play the dominant part in the forthcoming league of na tions. the inequalities of International leadership have a new value for this country. Leadership among the nations Is a matter of character, strength and an intuitive ability to do the right thing at the right time. Germany is trying to develop the notion that American leadership means America must be addressed as a favored nation apart from other nations and as the world’s commander-in-chief. In this idea lies the germ of destruction of full co-operative effort between Ameri ca and the allies at the peace confer ence. America cannot allow Germany to single this country out from among the world's democracies for the purpose of addressing her notes and petitions ex clusively to Washington. International suspicions and jealousies are as easily aroused as personal suspicion and Jeal ousies. Germany has traded on this for years. It is wholly to her advantage to continue doing so now. What Germany must beg to feed the nation that so lately had spent all its energies to overthrow democracy should be asked from the world. What Ger many has to pledge in mitigation of the sentence for her terrible crimes against humanity should be spoken not to ’America as an intercessor, hut to all the victims of German lust and cru elty. If the Berlin government re vives encouragement in its plan to ignore Europe and deal as exclusively as possible with the United States, Ho he-'zoflern in hts Dutch waiting place, will grin with sardonic satisfaction. The most difficult work of a coalition is not making war. but making peace. Manv a beaten nation has saved itself bv dlstruptine coalitions at the peace ''•inference. The stake is too large for Germane to neglect any gamblers’ de vice that holds a similar possibility of success now. NEWS PRINT PAPER CONDITIONS ARE STILL SERIOUS CHICAGO. Nov. 14.—That news print piper conditions are still serious and that there is little likelihood of any reduction of prices was the opinion ex pressed here today by Thomas E. Don nelly. chairman of the paper commit tee of the war industries board. ‘Book ]>apers have a better tone now.” saird Mr. Donnelly, ’’but some manufac turers claim that their prices as fixed by the board, are too low on news print. We do not expect to make any decisions on lifting the ban on the establishment of the new newspapers until news print conditions are better. All paper prices are about as low as they can get at this time. I am of the opinion that for the present news print prices will remain stationary.” Mr. Donnelly left today for Washing ton to attend a meeting of the paper section which will consider book paper and conditions. METHODISTS DISCUSS• RAISING GREAT SUM ffl MIM WORK “Too Much Cash in Christen dom, Too Little in Heathen-! dom," Says Bishop Candler, in Sounding Slogan ' The North Georgia conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, in session In Wesley Memorial church, de voted Thursday to a discussion of the centenary movement, under which a minimum of $7,000,000 a year is to be raised by American Methodists during the next five years for missions and kindhed activities. The keynote of the findings at the morning session, as summed up by Pre siding Bishop Warren A. Candler, was that there is “too much money in I Christendom and too little Christianity ' in heathendom.” Propose to Remedy This Such a condition the Methodists pro pose to remedy by converting Christen dom’s cash into Christianity for heath ens. A simple process of equilization pro vided money and missionaries can be ; obtained. And, according to the senti- ' rnent expressed on all aides, Method- ■ ism is going to rise to th eoccasion and supply both. In order further to stimulate inter est In the missionary centennary move ment, all three of the Thursday ses- ‘ sions were aurrendered to this cause. „ Maps Effectively Displayed The Thursday session opened with a swing to the tune of "We’re Marching Upward to Zion, the Beautiful City Above.” Great maps suspended above the pul pit and flanked by u gigantic American flag on one side and a service flag on the other suggested a study of war until it' was noted that most of Europe was in conspicuously pictured. Long pink i lines stretched from Georgia to bright pink spots lettered Cuba, Mexico, Bra zil, Belgian Congo. China, Korea and Japan—far-off lands where men *rom this church are spreading the gospel— a mute appeal for contributions for missions. . Dr. S. R. Belk, of Athens, prayed fervently for “the faith of Joshua and Caleb that we may go up and possess the land.” Here the conference buzzed with ani mated conversation which provoked Presiding Bishop Warren A. Candler to an exhortation that “we worship when we worship and work when we work and then we’ll get through.” The words fell on deaf ears, where upon a resounding whack of the gavel snapped the conference to attention. “I’m not going to conduct worship in confusion,” said the bishop. “Os course your communications may be more Important than this worship." He sat down. Five seconds and the conference was as still as the proverbial doormouse. The bishop then conducted the worship, making an exhortation for Christianity to cover the world. He likened the “man who preaches that all religions must be put in the melting pot and give out to the world a sort of theological hash” to “a tadpole in a (Continued on Page 2, Column 6 ) ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1918.

And, while prior ity of return will not entirely follow, priority of original shipment, these two divisions are likely to get back first. The war department, however, has » made no announcement yet as to the probable time of return for ’ any unit and its plans are unsettled. The war plans section of the general staff is giving serious attention to the matter of a standing army after de mobilization and also to the prdblem of universal training. These, subjects have been before the section for a long time and probably will be presented to Secretary Baker soon. According to Baker's interpretation of | the present military status, all enlist- I ments will close wdth the end of the I war emergency, unless congress acts be ! fore that time. Hence, it is believed j that the war plans section decisions will i be embodied in legislation for congress ; soon. ; Congress will determine in the last : analysis how great a standing army the ■ I’nited States should have and whether | or not universal military training should . be followed now that the war is ended. I she regular army establishment, prior I to the war, amounted to about 200,000 I officers and men. I War department officials believe unl ; vcrsal military training should be in stituted. but they are doubtful about | he tone of public opinion and incline j to the belief that the public will prefer , to settle back to the pre-war status.

PERSHING PINS MEDAL ON BREAST OF MARSHAL FOCH PARIS, Nov. 14.—(rfavas.)—The municipal council of Paris has initiated a plan, with the help of Premier Clemen ceau, to hold a ceremonial meeting at the ctiy hall in honor of Marshal Joffre and Marshal Foch. During the meeting it is planned to present commemorative medals to the two great soldiers. PERSHING DECORATES FOCH IN NAME OF WILSON SENLIS. Tuesday, Nov. 12.—General Pershing today conferred upon Marshal Foch the American distinguished serv ice medai. The presentation was made in the name of President Wilson at the villa where Marshal Foch has his head quarters and was an impressive cere mony. A guard of honor was drawn up at headquarters and trumpeters blew a fanfare as Marshal Foch with General Pershing on his right took position . few paces in front of the guard. Gen eral Pershing, addressing the general issimo said: "The congress of the United States has created this medal to be conferred upon those who have rendered distin guished service to our country. Presi dent Wilson has directed me to present to you the first o£ these medals in the name of* the United States government and the American army as an expres sion of their admiration and their con fidence. It is a token of the gratitude of the American people for your achievements and for the great service you have rendered to our army. I am very happy to have been given the hon or of presenting this medal to you.” General Pershing then pinned the medal on Marshal Fogh’s breast and the two stood with their hands clasped as the trumpet sounded once more. In accepting the decoration, Marshal Foch said: "I will wear this medal with pleasure and pride. In days of triumph as well as in dark and critical hours, I will never forget the tragical day last March when General Pershing put at my disposal without restriction all the resources of the American army. The success won in the hard fighting by the American army is the consequence of the excellent conception, command and organization of the American general and staff and the irreducible w ill to win of the American troops. The name ■Meuse’ may be inscribed proudly upon the American flag.” "I want to say to you that I shall never forget that tragic day in March when, stirred by a generous impulse, you came and placed at my disposition the entire resources of your army. To day we have gained the greatest battle in history and saved the most sacred cause—the liberty of the world. “An important part is due to the ac tion undertaken and well cartied through by the American army upon the two banks of the Meuse. For the last two months, the American army has fought in a most difficult region a fierce and ceaseless battle. The com plete success of’ this struggle is due to the fine qualities displaced by all. “I do not forget the breadth and clear ness of conception on the part of the generals, the method and ability on the part of the staffs and the ceaseless en ergv and indomitable courage of the men. Nor do I forget that at the mo ment when this vital battle was being fought by vour principal forces. Ameri can divisions weer reinforcing the armies of their allies on other fighting fronts where their conduct evoked the admiration of us all. “General. I thank you with all my heart for the aid you have brought us. For all time the words ‘La Meuse’ can be borne with merited pride upon the standards of the American army. 1 will keep in my heart the recollection of those great hours, often very difficult, but now crowned with glory, during which we fought together for liberty, justice and civilization.” Accompanying General PersbLig to (Continued on Page 2, Column 2) HINDEOHG STILL REMAINS HIGH CHIEF OF GEBN'IW Allies Will Enter Strassburg and Metz Sunday President Poincare and Clemenceau to View the Proceedings LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 13. —Field Marshal von Hindenburg remains as head of the supreme German army com mand, according to a German wireless message received here, which gives the text of the message he has sent to army commanders ordering them to lead troops home in order and discipline.

Th chief of the high seas forces, Ad» miral Hipper, is taking part in the ne gotiations as expert adviser for the dc- Lberations concerning the execution of the naval conditions of the armistice. PARIS, Nov. 14.—(Havas.) —A. J. Bal four, the British foreign secretary, and Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign min ister, will arrive in Paris today, The Journal says. Premier Lloyd-George and Premier Orlando will follow the foreign secretaries shortly. On their arrival, it is added, discussions will be gin to prepare the preliminaries for peace. LLOYD GEORGE OPPOSES PEACE OF VENGEANCE LONDON, Nov 14. —Premier Lloyd George, in an address here November 11. declared in favor of a league of nations > and against a peace of vengeance. “One off the principal issues at the forthcoming general election will be the nature of the peace settltment.” de clared the premier. “It will mean the settlement of the , world. What are the principles on which that settlement is to be effected? Are we to lapse back into the old national rival ries and animosity and the competitive armamen'.s, or ars ire to initiate the teign on earth of the prince of peace? What are conditions of peace? They must lead to settlement which will be * fundamentally just. No settlement that contravenes principles of eternal justice ' will be a permanent one. “We must not allow any sense ©f re venge any spirit of greed or any grasp ing desiie to override the fundamental principles of righteousness.”* • Premier Lloyd George said that the league of nations was more necessary now than ever and pointed out that con ditions that prevailed' in the Balkans before the war were now affecting two thirds of Europe. “A large number of small nations have been reborn in Europe and these will require a league of nations to pro tect them against covetous, ambitious, grasping he declared. “In my judgment a league of nations is ab solutely essential to permanent peace. We shall go to the peace conference to guarantee league of nations as a reality. I am one of those who believe without peace we cannot have prog.-jss.’’ WILSON ALSO LN FAVOR OF JUSTICE WITHOUT REVENGE WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—President Wilson -and Lloyd George stand square ly together .on the main problem of peace—“justice without revenge or greed.” ’ And, at the same time, their two na tions are working out separately, but in many respects with the same ideas at the tore, .me problems of reconstruction. As revealed *oy Lloyd George's latest utterance and as known from president Wiison’s speeches, the, league of nations idea will be put forth vigorously in the peace conierence. The British premier stands with the president on his four teen principles. And particular stress is ueing laid, 'both by tne British premier and the American president, that the • o reat peace must avoid "base, sordid, ideas of vengeance and avarice," Both the premier and the president are now busying themselves with recon- • struction mutters. Premier Lloyd George has declared for big housing schemes, tor creation of the minimum wage, for i reduction of hours and for increased production from the land. Reconstruction Commission President Wilson has not yet declared himself on the program of the future. But he has under consideration the cre ation of a reconstruction commission, which should be a group of experts act ing as a clearing house for the financial, labor, construction problems. These moves by Great Britain and the United , States are part o*f the big fight now un der way to curb Bolshevism in the world. "Big business’’ is anxious for a pro nouncement of policy. Labor wants to know what its future shall be. These things are pointed out in a letter writ ten the president by the United States chamber of commerce, which shows, particularly, the need of a unified sys tem with respect to cancellation of war contracts ami transition from war to peace-time industries. The government has found itself tem porarily staggered by the suddenness and immenstiy oi problems presented by peace, but is now getting its second wind and preparing for systematic handling of the problem. Premier Lloyd George says that Boshevism is not feared if the problems are handled aright. This nation, too, is striving to avert the curse of Bolshevism, and hence it. proposes to have a sound re construction policy at the earliest pos sible time. Standing With England The unanimity between Great Britain and the United States is considered im portant, since many see that Germany is trying to get softened peace condi tions by playing the "sympathy game’’ now. President Wilson has cabled King George that America is glad to be al lied with England “upon whom we are so sure we can count for co-operation that the high purposes of the war may be realized.” Whiie the revolution in Germany has proceeded with comparative orderliness so far, the real fear of this government is that hunger will spread the trouble and cause a reign of terror. Were it rot for hunger, it was said at the state department, the gove-”ment would have no fears about the situation. DEMAND HUNS SETTLE SCHLESWIG QUESTION COPENHAGEN, Nov. 14.—North Schleswig newspapers are publishing an appeal signed by? 02 Danish associa tions demanding that Germany at tnc peace negotiations settie th*z north Schleswig question on the basis of the right of self-determinatihn by all peo ples.
