Today Armistice Day. Things in Europe. Lloyd George Triumphs Mrs. McFeeley. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ On Armistice day, 30,000 clergymen preached three-minute sermons on peace. In the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the United States was silent for two minutes to think it over. A few probably will think what a good joke it was to talk about “the last war” and “world peace” based on the league of nations. Woodrow Wilson, former presi dent, talked about Armistice day over the radio, “broadcasting on a wave length of 469 metres.” For all we knew that message reached Mars and other planets. They may ask, “Why don’t those earth chil dren stop fighting instead of talking about peace so much?” The crown prince, taking his chances, which are numerous, has crossed the border from Holland to Germany, going to his estate in upper Silesia. Perhaps he thinks it's a kind of “Elba” whence he will come marching back like Napoleon. There’s considerable difference between Elba and Silesia, still more between Napoleon and the crown prince. Before the Bavarian revolution blew up in the air, the French were summoning more men to their army. They may go on with the summons, now that the crown prince is loose. Heaven only knows what Russia has been doing in the way of secretly providing money and arms to Germans, or the exact meaning of Russian massing of troops on the Polish border. Lloyd George, home, is receiv ed as a conquering hero. When he left the English had tired of him. He had only sup plied money, ammunition and brains for the war, which he won more than any other living man. It was something like the case of Aristides and the Athenian who voted to expel him, saying “I am tired of hearing him called ‘the just.’ ” But America says to Eng land, “If you don’t want him, I want him.” So now England wants him. The big question that Lloyd George sees facing Britain is free trade or protection. Baldwin wants protection. Lloyd George is against it. England can no longer compete with Europe in manufacturing. Germans can sell at a profit for less than half what the labor on an article would cost in England. That makes it hard for England in the world’s market. ■ England on the other hand, cannot feed it self, it must have food come in without duty. They must fight it out. What we want here is good pro tection for our workingmen and manufacturing sense enough to mind our own business. Mrs. Carrie McFeeley worked as laundress and charwoman. That’s her real business. The doctor noticed unnatural thinness and pallor in that mother of five con sumptive children. As A “sideline” Mrs. McFeeley was selling her blood for $25 a pint for transfusion in hospitals. The money thus earned she used to feed the tubercular children. You will wait a long time to hear about a “Mister” McFeeley. The female scorpion with her young fastened to her back, pati ently crawls about in the sun light, while they slowly devour her body. When the shell is empty they go off. The scorpion is the Mrs. McFeeley of the insect world. Over this fair land the season for killing things is now open. Millions of gentlemen wander through burrs, briars, mud, swamps, carrying guns and praying that providence will allow them to blow the lungs and fur out of some poor rabbit. Each will walk miles and miles in the day. And in the evening when the wife says, “Could you bring in an armful of wood?” each will ask: “My God, woman, can’t you sec how tired I am?” Nicholas Murray Butler, head of Columbia university, says that liberalism is in eclipse all over the world, and hooded mobs arc destroying American liberties. Many would tell Dr. Butler that his “liberalism” is really ex tremely old-fashioned toryism, and the “hooded mob” perhaps would say to him, “Better a hooded mob than no action.” Old parties and methods have lost their power; until something better is found you will have the “hooded mobs” or “fascismo” or lome other private enterprise seek ing to exercise powers that old parties have lost.

Dlfe, go far as father and son are concerned, is like a football game, with father snapping the hall to his son to carry, Victor B. Smith said at the father and son celebration at Miller Park Presbyterian church last night. "Companionship Is like the line of a football team," he said. "Unless the football team’s line holds firm, the opposing playefs break through a stop the offense of the baekfield, or make the runs and passes on their own account which result in touch downs for them. So with companion ship. Unless father and son are companions, there is little chance for the father to teach or advise his son; there is every chance for other In fluences to creep in and counteract the father's wish. "As a teacher, the father i9 a bit like the quarterback of the football team. He runs the team. His in telligence Is depended upon to tell the boy what to do, what play to try and when. As a teacher, the father may be handicapped by lack of book learning, but he—and he better than anyone else—can become the boy's teacher in the greater fields of citi zenship, patriotism, clean living. "The advisory relationship may be likened to the baekfield of the foot ball team. When the line of com panionship holds firm and the quar terback of instruction does his part, then the baekfield of advice carries the fail forward. Being able to give advice and having a boy willing to accept it is a highly important fea ture of true father and son relation ship. When this relationship Is func tioning properly, the boy develops confidence, powers of Judgment and moral strength. "The inspiration of the father's life Is like the team spirit—the will to win—that spurs a football team on to victory. It counts more than all the rest. It depends first upon the life which the father leads; second upon his ability to Impress the value of that example upon bis son. How many fathers can ask themselves the question, 'Would I be unashamed if my son knew every act and every thought of my life?’ "As President Harding said only a few days before he died: ‘I want boys who can look their dads In the face and tell them everything without being ashamed; dads who will not be ashamed to own up everything to their sons. I want no goody-goody boy, but the real boy, the American boy, the boy who loves life and sport* and all the things that go to make refcl boyhood. A boy can be all those things and be absolutely square with his dad, provided his dad is equally square with him." C. O. Haebich was toastmaster and Ralph A. Newell led the singing. Donald Sellner spoke for the boys and W. W. Kinsie for the dads. Bryan Boosted for Senate. Special IHepatah to TU* Omaha He*.

London, Nov. 12—A central News dispatch from Berlin today sayes it Is generally expected that General Von Seeckt, commander in-chlef of the relchswehr, will be appointed dic tator of Germany.

Munich, Bavaria, Nov. 12.—Demon strative crowds jammed the streets of the city Sunday morning and af ternoon but while attempts to break through the police cordons were fre quent, there were no clashes of any Importance. Much pro-Hitler senti ment was in evidence despite the fact that his immediate followers have been dispersed. In the popular mind the fasclstt leader ts viewed as a victim of Dr. Von Kahr's “treachery.” This senti ment Is widespread, but It does not aa yet constitute a menace to Von Kahr, aa the Hitlerites are without a leader or a chance of reassembling their scattered units.

In the beginning and until certain episodes and passages In the speeches summoned a different emotion, the distinct expression of Mr. Wilson's countenance was that of an elderly man, who in his old age has arrived at a philosophy of life In which great wisdom is lightened hy whimsical hu mor. This whimsicality was clearly the dominant characteristic. As Senator Glass began to read his speech Mr. Wilson seemed to sum mon a deliberate gravity in order to give it close attention. He took his eyes from the crowd and kept them on Senator Glass’ hands. At each of Senator Glass' sentences Mr. Wilson's features registered a corresponding emotion and repeatedly he emphasized his approval by a slight nod. Wilson’s Character Appealing. Throughout Senator Glass' speech Mr. Wilson's features went rapidly through subtle changes of appropriate emotion. He had the air of listening closely in order to make his own subsequent speech one of comment on Senator Glass’ speech. In fact, that is what he did. His own speech was impromptu and based on what Sen ator Glass had said. Throughout all this earlier part of the ceremony, Mr. Wilson's dominant expression was one of whimsical and mellow humor, al most of geniality. You had the feel ing that here was a wise, mellow old man, whom you wrould like to talk to for long hours In his library. Presently came a sentence in Sen ator Glass' speech which caused the first of three or four occasions when a more somber emotion leaped quick ly across Mr. Wilson's features. When Senator Glass said that "a conspiracy of racial animosities and selfish pol itics cheated this nation of honorable participation in the permanent guar anty of peace.” Mr. Wilson's eyes and lips for a fleeting second seemed not far from tears. It was as if he was moved to think: "Oh, what a pity!” and was grieved to the depth of his heart to think what a pity It was. Two or three times more both Sen ator Glass' speech and during his own, this deeper and more somber mood displaced for a second the ex pression of mellow wisdom. The opening words of his own speech were actually humorous an4 brought laughter from a most seri ous crowd. With a gesture and man ner that was meant to wave aside the BENO’S of Council Bluffs Says to You: —Why pay more?

I'H) lllUl ll ll'.Jliui in<u .. to him personally, he said: "Our late enemies, the Ger/nans, call an armistice ‘battenstandsillan" —an armed standstill, and it was the boys that made them stay still." After the aughter and appause, Mr. Wlson continued: "I am proud to remember that X had the honor of being the commander-in-chlef-" At this point someone In the crowd cried out: "The best one on earh!” Mr. Wilson smiled at the interrup tion and then went on: "-of the most ideal army that was ever thrown ogether." Here again, as his memory and imaginaion summoned up the picture of that army, emotion again thrust itself into the speaker’s features. He was conscious of It and said: "Pardon my emotion." Then he went on with a few words about the laurels of victory belong ing nuot to'himself, but to "my hon ored friend, Pershing," and conclud ed by saying: "Thank you with all my heart for yQur kindness." This apparently was meant to be the end of his speech and the band began “How Firm a Foundation." * Then, as If moved by the spirit of this hymn and moved also bythe de termined exultant confidence that had been In evidence In every line of Senator Glass’ speech, Mr. Wilson. the occasion called for: "Just one word more: I cannot re frain from saying It. I am not one of those who have the least anxieties about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools re sist providence before, and I have ; seen their destruction as will come upon these again who utter destruc tion and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.” In these last words, all the whimsi cal humor departed from Mr. Wilson. Also all the temptation to tears. In these last words he was not one lota short of the dignity and Sterne s of an Old Testament prophet affirming his belief In God and his profound reliance In the triumph of his own faith. Not In all the world could one have found a more dramatic or more Im pressive ceremony of lofty dignity and melting feeling. It was In the lower ing gun of a gentle late autumn after noon. Throughout It all, the maple leaves kept dropping in the windless air. The suggestion of a somber and pathetic fate attached itself to M . Wilson, to the soldiers In whose honor the ceremony was held, and to the present state of the world that re fused to listen to Mr. Wilson’s appeal for peace.
