The report had twice been asked for by the senate, first last November and then under a resolution adopted several weeks ago. The commission made no recommendations as to the United States assuming a mandate over Turkey and Armenia, but its report contained extensive arguments for and against such action.

Some regard this move a renewal of war against Germany, but the' attitude of the French government in the present German crisis is defined and explained In a note issued Monday night. After reiterating that the government ' has no hostile designs toward Germany, desiring, op the contrary, the resumption of normal relations with that country, and expressing realization of the difficult situation of the Berlin government, the note declares the German .government has given way to pressure by the militarist party, not fearing to Infringe the imperative and most solemn stipulations of the Versailles treaty. The situation created by the abrupt offensive of the German troops in the Iluhr obliges the French government to consider military measures, the execution of which cannot be deferred. The sole 'object of these measures is to bring Germany to due respect of the treaty and they are exclusively of a coercive and precautionary character. All officers and soldiers on Easter holiday leaves have been ordered to join their units immediately.

The principal arguments advanced in favor of the United States accepting a mandate were that the influence of the United States would tend to avert wars; that the inhabitants wanted American protection, and that this give the United States an opportunity to do a great humanitarian work.

The ninetieth annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints opened at the Tabernacle at 10 a. m., on April 4, President Heber J. Grant presiding and delivering the opening; address. At the morning and afternoon sessions, the Tabernacle was. filled to overflowing, it being found necessary to hold overflow meetings. Congratulations on the spiritual and material progress of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da-y Saints as an organization, as evidenced by the unprecedented attendance; reaffirmation, with emphasis, of his previous statements regarding with disapproval labor unions which seek to interfere memwith the liberty of bers, and presentation of evidence tending to show that the attitude of men high in national and financial had of circles toward Mormonism late undergone a decided and favorable change formed the principal themes of the address delivered by President Heber J. Grant, at the open, . ing of the conference. y President Grant also spoke at some length of the occasion as being of special significance in the life of the church organization, marking the centenary of the receiving of the first vision by the Prophet Joseph Smith, then a mere boy, this vision leading to other manifestations of Gods favor, culminating in revelations that led to Saints thev founding of the Latter-daehuf-el-i with its mission to carry the restored gospel to all thp peoples of the eith.i y . tin Lund tot ; the. first presidency maue the secontr anfTfinai dess ef the mofnng session. His remarks were hi the main theological, .beiiig devoted to an exposition of the significance of the vision received by the Prophet Joseph Smith, the doctrine of the resurrection and the lqw of , , tithing. Charles W. Penrose of the first presidency made the extended address in the tabernacle at the afternoon sesnon-uni- y sion. , After stating his gratification over the indubitable evidence of the presence of Gods spirit as manifest in the discourses of the morning session, President Penrose said that this was but another proof of the eternal truth upon which the church was founded, indicative that the prophecies made in the beginning were "being fulfilled to the letter. At considerable length he discussed the visions and revelations received by the Prophet Joseph Smith, going into the question of knowledge of spiritual insight and holding that Saints many thousands of Latter-da- y had received positive assurances that the youth was the true prophet, bearing Gods message to the world. In response to direct summons from President Grant, Apostle MelvimJ. Ballard took the speaker's stand. He voiced his testimony in strong words and said that it was with emotions of pity and sorrow that he saw so many other denominations who could not understand the views held by the Latter-daSaints. Apostle Richard R. Lyman was the last speaker of the session. His address was almost entirely theological, dealing with the significance of the 'prow phets first vision. E. declared James Taimage Apostle at the Monday morning session that the L. D. S. church will not participate In the interchurch world movement, although the Saints wish the participants well. He declared that intimations had been made that the L. D. S. church was endeavoring to join the interchurch yvorld movement, but that these were entirely false. Apostle Stephen L. Richards declared that solutions to all the problems now confronting the world could be found in the gospel. He said that the gospel would bring happiness and joy both on earth and in the after life, if closely followed. Apostles Anthony W. Ivins and Joseph Fielding Smith dwelt at (length upon the first vision of the Prophet: Joseph Smith nearly 100 years ago, declaring that he was the true prophet of Christ the Redeemer. conference of the The Deseret Sunday School union was held Sunday night at Jhe tabernacle.
