Ottawa, Jan. 16. --Sir Wikrid Laurier's address before the East: érn Ontario Liberal Association last night followed mainly the lines of resolutions already presented 'and accepted by the convention in that he attacked the Union Government on the grounds that it governed hy order in Council, that it had failed to make proper provision for re. turning soldiers, and that it was * making a reactionary step im ar-| ranging for a federal voters' list in place of the pre-war franchise based on provincial lists. He referred to the Union Govern- ment as predominatingly *'Tory," and the Liberals in it. he- compared to the smiling Imdy once going for a ride on a tiger, the latter return- ing with the lady inside and the smile on the fdce of the tigers. Yet later in his address he held out the olive branch to Liberals who had joined the Union Government, claiming that conseription was now a thing of the past, since Lloyd George had pledged himself and the British people: to securing the abo: Htion of it everywhere. He referred towards the end of his speech to his. own leadership and hig iner 1 age, stating "his readiness to a gver the lead to younger hands nl to serve in the ranks, 'but concluding amid 'ap- plause: "Though my health is not as good as it was at one time, God, 1 believe, hag left 'in me a kick which I can.

BOLSHEVISM IS FINALLY ENDED The Conflict ap- + Berlin, Jan. 15.--Berlin's long week of Bolshevism. is finally ended. Here and there scattered despera- does, mostid youths, still fire ocea- stonally from some thousetop and duringeaights attempts are made by small bands of followers of Dr. Karl Liebknedht to revive the reign of terror. They are insignificant how- ever, compared with what has pass- ed. Dr. Liebknecht's sister was ar- rested yesterday and several hundred rebels ard locked up awaiting trial, which, inasmuch as martial law was not proclaimed, must be left to the regular courts, The losses inflicted on eagh side during the past week are - yet estimated only roughly but it is believed that they will greatly exceed 200 dead and a thou- sand wounded, The overwhelming majority of these are Bolshevists, THE POPE TO URGE LOYALTY OF CATHOLICS ann.

WORKING ON TWO PLANS For Making Effective Propasals of the Coming League of Nations. SEEKING COMMON GROUND WHAT «- MEANS WOULD THEY TAKE IN CASE OF NECESSITY; -- i Present at the Wednesday. "onference of the Peace Congress. A Four Big Allies Represent~ ed, (Canadian Press Despatch) Paris, Jan, 15.~--With the resump- tion today of the meetings prelimin- ary to the peace conference it is ap- parent that the movement to create a league of pations.is being carried on by two forces- having the same object but differing-as to the means for making effective the decisions of the proposed world society. One of thesa represents tlie contention that the decisions of the league-must he backed by its combined physical forces, while the other represents the view that its findings can be enfore- ¢d without the aid of the common world police force. Diplomatists, watching the movement of two ideas as they come into bearing before the conference, seem impressed with the 'view that both are moving toward a common ground which, for example, might provide that the nations could reserve for each individual case their decision whether they would utilize an armed force or avail themselves of other means. When the supreme council of thé at 10.30 o'clock today, there were Ig attendance, Premier Clemenceau and Foreign Minister Pichon for France, President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing, United States, Prem- ier Lloyd George and Secretary Bal- four for Gréat Britain, Foreign Min- ister Somnino for Italy and Viscount Chita and Baron Matsui for Japan. - ~The' Claims of Greece.

There has been much speculation as to the possibility of political de- velopments during the session. Some political prophets have pre- dicted early dismyption of the pre- sent Union Government. have foreseen the postponement of that catastrophe until after the com- ing session, and others again until a still more remote date. The pre- sent conditions would seem to favor the contention of the® last mention- ed class. The members of the Gov- ernment Nave, it is asserted, been working together harmoniously and their efforts to meet the post-war conditions new looming up, to- gother with the example of tHe electors of Great Britain, have, it is reported, strengthened the view that the political union formed for the prosecution of the war should be continued fot the solution of the problems of reconstruction. Lively passages will undoubtedly oceur during the coming session, but 'poli- tical upheaval now seems decidedly unlikely. rier . Liberals, nevertheless, are organizing and preparing for the the general party convention to be held, probably during the com- ing session. Yesterday delegatess from~23 astern Ontario constitu- nil 3 fae. of the delegates' in their leader, Sir Wil- frid Laurier, announces with re- markable optimism that '"'the ranks of Liberalism are napidly re-unit- ing." While this resolution inti- mates a belief that peace is effacing the memory of the war record by the Laurier Liberals, , others indi- cate the Hebi packs to be made, probably during" the coming session, upon the course of the Government during the war. These include con- demnations of legislation by order- in-council and: of the War Times Eledtion Aet and a demand for an investigation by a parliamentary committee of all expenditures on war account, 5 .

Ottawa, Jan. 15.---That the Fed- eral Government should assume the [ expense of providing local memor- ialls to the Canadians who served and fell in the great war is being urged by Gen. Sir Sam Hughes, Sir Sam, who was in Ottawa to-day, says that all sorts of eobganizations all over the country are now start- ing to raise funds By private sub- scriptions . to erect monulaents or other memorials to perpetuate the name and fame of those who fought. Instead of these haphasard and of- ten conflicting local schames Sir Sam believes it would be wiser to 'design three or four artistic and en- during types of ing 'ble or bronze shafts or other suitable monuments which could be donated by the Gov- ernment to each. municipality or county, with space for enscrolling on dne side the names of those who gaves their lives 'for iwercy; and space on the other side for all who enlisted. The designs could provide for three or four sizes, and be diss tributed according to the number of local enlistments. Sir Sam declares that Cangda as Ps whole owes fitting memorials to her soldiers, that the cost savuld be shared equally by all the people, and that only by some such plan can the present rivalry and confusion of local schemes be obviated.

'"The embargo has been placed be- cause the British and French ports have at present 'more traffic than they can handle. The British Min- istry of Shipping has advised us that ships cannot be accepted. That means they cannot be loaded.

Dr. H. J+ Cody, Minjster of Education, yester- day. They asked what the Govern- ments intention was in the matter.

Addresses by Rev. Dr. Pidgeon aud John A. Paterson, K.C., Toronto; Rev. Walter Gall, Returned Mis sionary, and Others. "Not a forward movement oily, but an upward movement. Prayer is the lever. Service is the basis. Rise and use your power to lift up the world. The higher we lift oth« ers, the nearer we get to God." St. Andrew's church 'was the scene of two most important meei- ings on Tuesday, when a. special Presbyterial conference, having for its object a "forward movement" session was altended very largely by members of the Kingston Pros- bytery and members of the Presby- tertan church in Kingston and this district. A number of most inspir- ing addresses were delivered. The Moderator of the Kingston Presbytery, Rev. John T, Hall, of Stirling, presided ' at the evening meeting, when three addresses were given. Mrs John T. Hall, of Stir- lin, president of the Presbyterial Women's Missionary Society, de. lvered an iNuminating address, dealing with the part women are to take in the forward movement; John A. Paterson, K.C., of Toronto, spoke on "Stewardship and Ade- quate Pension Funds," and Rev. Dr. George G. Pidgeon, of Toronto, dealt with the subject, "Social Ser- vice and Recruits for the Ministry." Rev. Dr, Malecolm Maogiiivray of- fered prayer. Mrs. Hall appealed for the sup- port of the ministers in the work the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church is carrying on. The idea is to have every child and every adult member of the church take an active part in the work. The present day eq for Fservice. She appealed rayer and service for a needy Sci Appeal to Carry On Mr. Paterson said we were not away from the war yet, and ed to his hearers to "carry on." In saying this he referred to every branch of church work. It was for the church to press forward, and if the church did not "carry on" it was not obeying the command. "It is all veyy well for us to go to church, to Be preached to, and to hear eloguent sermons," d the speaker, 'but we, the laymen, have got to do our own job. We cannot all be preachers, but something we can do is to practice the gospel. When I speak of stewardship I mean more than money, Give your life to the work and the ° money will come afterwards. We must 'go ov- er the top.'" The speaker said it was up to the members of the church to do some- a> thing worth whilé for the funds of' t rch. There must be a more- generous response to the various funds. Rev. Dr. Pidgeon said the key~ note to-day was thiat of "service." It was the watchword and rallying ery for those both inside and out- side of church. The speaker referred the noble stand taken by the boys overseas. '"This is all for Canada," ere the dying words of ohe young snan on the battle field. There was much work to be done, and the opportunity came to the church do Atg share. There was great need of God dh the busi- ness life of to-day. THe power of the apirit of God was needed in our modern Iie. We must glaim 'the entire world for Christ.
