Today It Would Scare Pandora. Trotsky's Latest. We Get the Echo. Nature Fighting Man. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE J German food rioters attack the stock exchange and the city hall in Berlin. Bayonets hold them in con trol. Dr. Sauerbruch, noted Munich surgeon, has left in a flying ma chine for Moscow to treat Trotzky for cancer of the stomach. That’s the latest Trotzky news. '' You will probably hear tomor row that he is organizing another army. Soviet leaders are not eas ily killed, apparently. Stock speculators had a bad day Tuesday. We get the faint echo here of Europe’s troubles. Hun dreds of millions of Europeans, formerly our best customers, are shivering on the edge of, they don’t know what. It may be bank ruptcy on a new scale, revolution all over Europe, more war. Any thing may come. In Germany, the price of the loaf of bread jumps 440,000,000 marks in a day. That number of marks would have been $110,000, 000 before the war. No telling what will happen to men, when their money goes as crazy as that. Even nature seems to be fight ing against miserable men. In South Africa, a deadly drouth and scorching wind storms have dried up the water supply, while locusts, in swarms, have destroyed green plants. It is feared that all cattle will die. War, disease, earthquakes, drouths, money panics, tidal waves, and, worst of all, human beings and nations intent only on robbing and killing each other. Certain philosophers have thought that among planets there niight be some very sick, as there are sick individuals among human beings. This must be one of the sickest planets. Doctors in Paris announce the discovery of a microbe that causes measles. It is shaped like a cork screw, as is the germ of the most dreaded blood disease, and can ex ist only where certain other bac teria exist. Wonderful discoveries we are making. If some doctors would find the germ that causes war, and an anti-toxin to conquer it, that would help Europe even more than ending measles. Poles and the Turks have signed a treaty of “perpetual peace” and the document was probably signed on both sides without a smile. It’s a good treaty for the pres ent, however, for with Russia get ting stronger and wanting Poland on one side, the Dardanelles and the door into the Mediterranean on another, Poles and Turks will hang together or take the chances separately. A fight in the bootleggers’ trust cuts the price of moonshine whis ky to $4 a gallon in some parts of Pittsburgh. Whisky at a dollar a gallon may come if the price war keeps up. That’s dangerous news to American stomachs. Whisky has been made for less than 30 cents a gallon, actual cost. Conditions may become worse than in the days of Thomas Jef ferson. He advocated light wines and beer as a remedy for drunken ness. We are trying prohibition, and won’t know for a generation how that will work. A serious discussion among our Jewish fellow citizens on the sub ject of Zionism ought to enlighten idiots that have talked about a great Jewish conspiracy to rule the world and everybody in it. Israel Zangwill, who thinks, but doesn’t know, says the Jewish peo ple in Jerusalem can never be politically successful. That i*- prob ably what anybody would have said about the Irish nation, at any time during the last 700 years. But the free state is established. More able mentally than any other races, perhaps, are the Jew ish and Celtic races. Those of the duller minds are protected by the fact that Jews and Celts rarely agree among themselves. H. G. Wells, who loves peace and fights for it constantly, is wor ried because Great Britain is build ing a base at Singapore. He calls it a blood-thirsty demonstration. It is, on the contrary, a wise step to protect Australia and New Zea land, first of all, and the rest of the British empire, from anything that may happen in Asia, particu larly in Japan. This country would have been wise had it established a similar base in the east, instead of enter itis into that mushy Washington conference. The weak spot in the Singapore scheme is the planning for battle ships. Except ns a flying machine and submarine headquarters, Sing apore. within a short time, will have little military importance. .But, as a well-defended stra tegical point, whence flying ma chines and submarines may start to do their work, Singapore may mean the survival of that part of the white race represented by the British empire. __(Copyright, 1921.) p— If You Are Seeking HEALTH Investigate Chiropractic ■ No matter what your disease may be, you can investigate with safety, as no qualified practitioner will ac cept a case he cannot help. 1712 Dodge, Gardner Bldg. AT lantic 1293 Dunn Starts to Promote Policemen Danhaum and Palmtag, Hayes and English, Reduced by Butler, Already Re turned to Detectives. Fred Palm tax, the atormy petrel of the police department, was the first patrolman to be advanced to the rank of detective by Police Commissioner Henry W. Dunn Wednesday morning. Palmtag was demoted and set to walking a beat shortly after former Police Commissioner Butler took charge of the department. Other former detectives restored to their former rank are Ben Danbaum, at one time Palmtag's working mate, and Detectives Hayes and English. Commissioner Dunn said that he has not yet considered the cases of former Detectives Killian and Davis, who were reduced following an al leged ‘'framed’’ holdup of a grocery store on St. Mary avenue, in which four boys were arrested, but that he will do so. All restorations to rank are effec tive Immediately. Names of the of fleers so elevated, will appear, with their new rank, on next month's de tail sheets. Sigwart on Traffic. Commissioner Dunn announced that. In addition to restoring the vol unteer traffic police, he will again ac cept membership cards in the Omaha Automobile club as ball bonds, a prac tice discontinued by Commissioner Butler. Ha will again place Sergeant Big wart on traffic work, relieving Sergt. Phil Wentz. Appointment of a morals squad will require considerable time, he Intima ted. He declared, however, that In his opinion, Frank Williams is the best head the morals squad ever had. Most of the morning was occupied by conferences between the commis sioner and various police officials. Bark on Foundation The city hall settled back on Its foundation this morning, with no out ward evidence of the upheaval which occurred yesterday morning In the city council chamber. Commissioner Butler was back at h!s old desk in the department of accounts and finance. The only change In the personnel of this de partment is the return of William Minogue who went with Mr. Butler when he took the police department last March. Arthur Shields went from accounts and finance with Commis sioner Bunn as secretary to the police department. No Pardons for Motorists As commissioner In charge of ac oounts and finance Mr. Butler re sumes his status as acting mayor dur ing any absence of the mayor. Mayor Bahlman is In a hospital and probably will rest for several weeks before re turning to his office. "I wish to state that as acting mayor I will issue no pardons for motorists who have been sentenced to Jail by the municipal court Judges,1' Commissioner Butler announced. “Under no circumstances will pardons be Issued by me in this class of cases.” I Preserve for Sale.

Fate.) to cause Plnchot’n friends to organ ize and fight, there Is no possible doubt that he would have an ex tremely Impressive group of dele gates. If the events of the next few weeks should continue to dramatize Plnchot as contrasted with Coolidge on the Issue of enforcing the prohibition law, it would be difficult to over-esti mate the strength Plnchot would have. On a clearly visualized issue of Plnchot promising effective en forcement of prohibition and Coolidge falling lneither the will or the capac ity to enforce, there could be little doubt of the result. In a fight restrained to that single issue It Is not too extreme to say that Plnchot miht readily carry ev ery one of the direct primary states, except two. On that Issue thus staged Pkichot might even carry New Jersey. Action Cp to Coolidge Pinehot has already carried his own state of Pennsylvania on sub stantially that issue, and if Pennsyl vania. why not New Jersey? In short, It would be almost fatal to Presi dent Coolidge to let this issue arise between him and Pinehot. Undoubt edly he will try to prevent it. Prob ably he can prevent it if he tries hard enough, but it is going to take con siderable energy and initiative. It must be remembered that what Pinehot and the church conference demands is not mereljf the assurance of Coolidge that he will enforce the law. They already have that assur ance and they don't charge Coolidge with any degree of lack of good faith. But what they demand is something more. The only thing that will satisfy and disarm the church people behind Pinehot is a definite change in the degree of effective enforcement at tained by the federal government. They will only be satisfied if Cool idge’s administration makes during the very near future a record of en forcement conspicuously more effec tive than the federal government has ever yet attained. The question is, can Coolidge show results In so short a time? To make such a record in so brief a time is no easy task. For Coolidge to disarm the church people It will be necessary for him to be as drastlo throughout the country as Pinehot has been recently in Pennsylvania. It should be added that all that has been said here about Plnchot’s poten tial chances, other than in his own state of Pennsylvania, depends upon political organization in his behalf. There is already church organization but political organization is a different matter. Up to date there is no sign in any state other than Pennsylvania of any political organization aimed at making Pinehot president. With the sentiment that exists, however, or ganization would be comparatively , easy if Pinehot should say the word. Flood Fails to Rejoin Pair. Hopes held out by citizens of Louis ville that as a result of the flood which ruined the home of Mrs. Susie Urwin that she and her husband, George, would become reconciled have proved futile. Mrs. Gertrdue Schmader, a daugh ter, stated Wednesday she had been authorized by her mother to announce that a reconciliation had not been ef fected. Admits Killing Sheriff. Logan, Va.. Oct. 17.—Edgar Combs, Union miner charged with the murder of Deputy Sheriff John Gore In the 1921 armed march, pleaded guilty In Logan circuit court here today after Judge Robert Bland refused a change of venue for his trial.

Bingham. Utah, Oct. 17.—In full \ lew of, and almOHt within reach of the rescue party the battered and mangled body of Dan Eden, 50-year old foreman of the Utah Apex metal mine, at an early hour this morning, was still in the grip of the huge rock pile which crushed it at 4 o’clock yes terday afternoon and which at the same time killed or entombed, alive, the five companions of the foreman. No signals have come through the gigantic rock pile and whether or not the rescuers will be greeted by trembling, thankful miners or by stark stiff bodies is a matter of con jecture. The rescue party itself, hampered by lack of room and by bad ground, has been forced to flee for safety while minor caves have undone their work of hours. Eden's body is wedged in such a manner that It is impossible to move it without biliiging down upon the heads pf the rescuers the tons of loosened rock which rests on the very stones which hold the body fast. The men entombed and whose fate is unknown are Joseph Neerden, su perintendent; Richard Armstrong, C. C. Nelson, Joseph Ratalza and Charles Carsons.
