CITY EDITION y ym, V?A — OMAHA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1924. * TWO CENTS10 '——-7 Coolidge Suggests Peace Plan ^ Dedication of Armistice Day to Outlawry of War Is Idea of President in Letter to Legion. Occasion Is International Washington, Nov. 2.— Dedication oC armistice day, November 11, to the establishment ut permanent peace and the outlawry of war is suggested by President Coolidge In a letter ad dressed to James A. Drain, national commander of the American Legion. "Growth of sentiment for the out lawry of war from this earth,” Cool idge said, "has been an impressive fact of recent times. Men and women everywhere have been giving their best thought to bring tills end into full realization. "The inclusion of armistice day in the list of dates commemorating great events In our national history,” the letter said, "marked a significant change in our world relationships. Prior to that first armistice day which America greeted with such en thusiasm, our historic anniversaries had all been of exclusively national character. They recalled events of supreme Importance in our nation s life but of small value as links be tween that life and the activities of the outside world. J Makes Common Bond. “When, by common consent, armis tice day was added to our calendar of memorial dates it took its place as the one in whose celebration we will always be drawn closer to other peo ples who stand for liberal institutions. Celebrated in many lands and by many peoples, it will remind them of their united efforts and common sacrifices in the bitterest crisis of civ ilization’s history. “It will always recall the fact that humanity has far more reason for unity than for discord. It will em phasize the common ideals and aspi t rations which must at last draw all men into fraternity and set their feet in the way of pence. It will give an impetus to the ever growing convic tion that hatreds are needless, and that rivalries ought to be only in good works aimed for the general ad vancement. Thought of Peace. “It is desirable that armistice day observations should impress these considerations of common concern and essential accord. They have in past years been thus directed, and we must all hope (hat they will he simi larly directed this year. The growth of sentiment for the outlawry of war from 'this earth has been an impres r- sive fact of recent time. Men and women everywhere have been giving their best thought to bring this end into full realization. "We shall make our greatest con tribution to human welfare if we shall on this international anniversary of peace restored, turn our thoughts and endeavors to the ideal of peace per petuated, assured and established as a universal benlson. We shall not fail in acknowledgement of our obliga tion to those whose noble success won the victory and established our com plete independence. But along with this, we should have in mind the thought of peace gained for all the world and all time through coopera tion of the same liberal forces that brought the victory.” STONE SOUNDS BRYAN WARNING Boston. Nov. 1.—Declaring a dead lock in the electoral college will mean elevation of Charles W. Bryan to the 1,residency. Attorney General Stone told the voters of Massachusetts in a speech here today that the paramount issue of the campaign was a choice between Bryan and Coolldge. “Do tlie people of the United States want Mr. Bryan for president, or even for vice president?

Davis, democratic candidate for presi dent, his platform campaign ended, rested at his home in I.ocust Valley today, confident that Tuesday's bal loting would spell victory for the democratic national ticket. Nothing of a political flavor, how ever, was allowed to interrupt the day of rest. At Davis' own request, callers at his home were informed that politics and kindred questions were banned until tomorrow. The fight the candidate has made, his strenuous campaign tours through 17 states, the delivery of more than 200 major speeches, and the multiplicity of duties that fell upon him for personal discharge, had left their mark. It was to eradicate this and to prepare himself for the final event of the contest, the deliv ery of a 30-minute address Monday night to a nation-wide audience of radio listeners in, that Davis set apart today and gave himself up to virtual complete relaxation. Wu Pei-Fu Will Seek Safety in Flight, Report Ousted Field Marshal Now Realizes He Cannot Regain Power C rested From Him by Feng. By Asiiociattd Prrta. Tientsin, Nov. 2.—General Wu Pei-Fu, ousted field marshal of the Pekin government armies, who has been marching on the capital to re gain the power wrested from him by the coupe of his former subordinate, Feng Yu-Hsiang, “the Christian gen eral,” now realizes the game is up and is considering the best means of flight. By AiioHafol Press. Tientsin, Nov. 2.—Troop ships from Chinwangta, the Chihli port on tho Manchurian border, still were com ing up the river from the Gulf of Chihli this afternoon, necessitating the employment of many foreign troops, to prevent the landing of more sold ers of Wu Pei-Fu, the ousted Pekin commander, who has taken tho field to regain the capital, lost to him by a coup d’etat. An American destroyer is at Hsinho trying to prevent trouble. It is quite clear that Wu Pel-Fu will be unable to fight In this vicin ity with any prospect of success. The only speculation now is where he will go. It is reported that he is attempt ing to arrange an armistice to dis cuss peace with his former subordi nate and present enemy, Feng Yu Hsiang, “the Christian general." Although Wu has ordered his train to he in readiness to depart for Tangku, on the gulf, the fait that he has sent many troops southward, down the Tientsln-Pukow railway jus tif.es the supposition that tie may re tire toward Shantung province if peace is not concluded, A ship lo,id of his Chihli troops, off the British concession on the Tientsin bund this morning, were disarmed under supervision of British and Chinese police, escorted into the eitv and handed over to the Chinese authorities.

Americans in France Celebrate Election, No Matter Who Wins Society at Montmarte Seize Upon Opportunity for Good Time; Women Plan to Wear Special Election Dresses for Occasion. By C. F. BERTELLI, I nlver-nl Service Mnff Correspondent, Paris. Nov. 2.—Whoever wins In the American elections Tues day, Montmartre's happy hunting grounds will win. judging from the number and size of the election parties being arranged by society, which sees In the election just an other excuse for a good time. Hundreds of wealthy taxpayers who have not thought it worth while to go home to vote, will nevertheless be ardent celebrators Tuesday niglit, when the 1lrst re turns begin to arrive here around midnight. Two straw votes recently taken among Americans in Paris both give President Coolidge as the winner, but the New York bar's poll, which has been going on for a month, gives La Follette, 1,219; Coolidge, 1,064, and Davis, 163. Tlie the Embassy club, where a brilliant society crowd gathered last night, the proprietor, Oscar, passed around a ballot box. Tho vote gave t’oolidge, 60; La Koliettc, 31; Davis, !). In announcing the ballot, Oscar drew attention to the fact that the vote was more sig nificant than it appeared to be, as among the voters were five Ameri can millionaires, four American princesses and numerous expatri ates. Special “election dresses'’ are be ing ordered by many American women here for Tuesday celebra tions. Mrs. Loranda Hutchinson calls her dress a "Coolidge dress,” because it is a drab grey dashed with green, the “color of New Eng land weather.” Among noticeable features of the week was tho resurrection of tlie white gloves of before the war for evening wear by men. The recur rence of maseulisni among the flap pers is shown by the disappearance of jeweled powder boxes in favor of powder pouches, which, hung at the waist, look as though they might contain tobacco.
