>><>vrKno« , GREAT INTEREST IN
Any Of Ihese Men. ^IJQQNSIN PRIMARY
The interest taken in Christian
Science by all classes of people was
evidenced on Sunday afternoon by the
large and appreciative audience that
greeted Mr. Clarence W. Chadwick
on the occasion of his lecture at
Chapel Hall, University of Oklahoma,
the large hall being completely filled.
For an hour and a half Mr. Chadwick
held the attention of his audience with
one of the clearest and most logical
expositions of the principles of
Christian Science ever delivered in
this city. The i,c..utiful day was con-
ducive to a large attendance, many
Scientists of Oklahoma City coming
down by special interurban trains
and by automobiles, and many were
present from other towns and cities.
Hi. Chadwick was introduced by
Mr. Jos. Coffer, First Reader of the
First Church of Christ, Scientist, of
Oklahoma City, who said:
"The lecture this afternoon is giv
en under the auspices of First Church
of Christ, Scientists, Norman, _ on
whose behalf a most cordial and lov-
ing welcome is extended
"In extending an invitation to the
public to hear a lecture on Christian
Science, it is the purpose of the local
church correctly to present the sub-
ject through authorized channels,
thereby correcting false views, er-
roneous thoughts, or misunderstand
ing that may have been projected in-
tentionally, or thoughtlessly.
"Your presence here this afternoon
warrants the presumption that you
have accepted the invitation as seek-
ers of truth, desiring to broaden your
vision of things spiritual, and come

CONTROL IN ROSSIA

P«trograd, March 17.—Two Bol-

cabinet, in addition to the four social
revolutionaries of the Left, as a re-
sult t.f the Pa'"-soviet's ratification

marine the food ships.
The navy department has put
guards on the Dutch craft temporar-
ly and will man them with sailors if
the shipping board desires. However,
it is anticipated that a number of the
present crews will consent to remain.
Addition of the shipping will be a
considerable help, especially as now
America is straining her resources to
the utmost in order to speed up troop
shipments abroad. Her work to date
is meeting with success and hence
every added ship is of material aid.
| The Dutch problem offers delicate
I possibilities in view of Holland's sit-
uation between "the devil and the
deep blue sea." She wants to remain
neutral for if she localizes with either
side' penetrating her territory, the
little nation will soon become a
shambles as Belgium was.
And while the Holland situation is
difficult, the northern European neu
trals are on edge. Sweden particular-
ly is wrought up over the Finnish
problem and is so resentful of Ger-
many's attitude that hostile action is
quite possible.
In line with this situation in the
protest of Norwegian shipping asso-
ciations sent to the German people
and made pubic here today. The pro-
test over sinking of a convoy led the
signers to "express directly to the
German nation this most deep abhor-
rence of the German navy's conduct.

Mr. Chadwick spoke as follows:
Christian Science is attracting
world-wide attention. For more than
half a century it has been winning its
way into the consciousness of human-
ity. Countless thousands ha^e accept-
ed Mrs. Eddy's discovery as the re-
vealed Word of GoJ to this ace. And
why? Because they have heard its
message of "on earth peace, good will
toward men;" have fe't its healing
touch of Truth; have experienced the
influence of the "quickening spirit
of divine Love\ lifting thought to
higher planes of thinking and living;
and are supremely happy in having
learned how to make practical appli-
cation of the Master's teachings,
thereby to work out their own salva-
tion.

SUBTLE PEACE DRIVE
NOW GERMANY'S PLAN
By ED. L. KEEN,
(United Press Staff Correspondent*
London, March 18.—Germany has
substituted its most subtle peace
drive for its long prepared western
offensive.
The results of this move depend oil
the ability of allied statesmanship to
show the German people that the war
lost—and will merely be repeated
if the allies are induced to trade their
advantage in the west for Germany's,
obvious advantage in the east and
make peace on these German terms.
There is every indication that the
recent German peace feelers soon
will assume tangible form including
not only complete restoration and rep-
aration for Belgium and France, but
a compromise on the disposition of
Alsace and Lorraine, besides an
adroit offer to assume liability for
the big French loans to Russia, which
the Bolsheviki repudiated—provided
Germany is given a free hand in the
east.
The messages of President Wilson
and other Americans to the Russian
pan-soviet congress at Moscow are
regarded as a timely influence.
An interesting development is the
fact that many responsible British,
hitherto classed as pacifists, are out-
spoken in their denunciation of such
a peace, considering it not only dis-
honorable but calculated to strength-
en Prussian militarism for a more
formidable onslaught against west-
ern democracy a few years later.
The greatest interest is displayed
in next weeks meeting of the German
reichstag, which will discuss the Rus-
sian peace treaty.

own words, only a scribe echoing the

Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 115);
consequently, she had no excuse to of-

debt of gratitude to this noble woman
for what is contained in this most
unique book. Many thousands will
