When it was made plain by the Teutons that ths price of a reparated free Belgium was "leaving Turkey to decide the fate of the Arabs, Armenians and Syrians, and the restoration of Germany's South African colonies." Count Czernin is vague, . Lloyd- George asserte4 "does, he mean that Rumanian, Montenegro and ' Siberia are, to be as independent as -Ger many and other nations?

He added specifically, he had conferred with former . Premier Asqufth and former Foreign Minister 'Grey, and it was understood unofficially tonight, had likewise conferred by letter with the Irish leader, John Redmond. Further, emphasis was laid ' on Lloyd-Qeorg'a speech and particu larly his phrase as ' to "reconsidera tion of the great wrohgi done to franco in 1871," in covering the mat ter or Aiace-Liorraine by the fact that the British Premier has Just re turned from a visit to Paris, where he conferred with Premier Clemen eeau and other French officials.

Tomorrow the famous evange list will open his soul-saving campaign in the huge tabernacle erected espe cially for the purpose.

When the Sunday campaign is concludedx it is planned . by a citizens committee to take over the" tabernacle and convert it into a social hall for the thousands of ; soldiers in Washington and vicin-. ity. , , Opinion differs as to the measure of succels with which Mr. Sunday will meet in his campaign In Wash ington. Just at present the capita is so engrossed in war work that it would seem to be an impossibility for the people to become enthused over anything not directly relating to the war.
