THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1917. .
U. S. IS WATCHING
RIO GRANDE BORDER
Detain Suspicious Characters
and Probable Mexican Revo
lutionists Seeking to Cross
Into United States.
Presidio, Tex., Nov. 20. Six al
leged suspicious characters have been
detained here in efforts to cross the
Rio Grande since Villa captured Oji
naga, the Mexican town across that
stream from here. Military and other
federal officers have been examining
all who pass in and out of Presidio in
search of Mexican politicians aligned
with the Villa movement.
One of the six men detained here
came to Presidio asserting he was a
cattle buyer from southern Mexico.
He admitted he was a member-of the
conventionist party. Another man
teld here said he was from Jalisco.
He is believed to be an emissary of
Emiliano Zapata, a southern rebel
:hief. "A third was from Oaxaca and
declared he was a dealer in straw hats,
who came to the border to sell hats to
the federal forces in Ojinaga. Still
another was a colonel in Zapata's
forces, sent here to represent his chief,
according to his statements. Two
were from central Chihuahua.
The statements of all these men
igreed in that they recognized Villa
is the logical leader of the new move
iient and claimed he had strong fal
lowings in the states from which they
came. One admitted that the move
ment had for its essential purpose the
elimination of Carranza and the re
cstablishnient of the old Diaz federal
government with Villa in control in
the north.
The examination of all suspected
persons is being continued under the
direction of Captain Roland Taylor
to prevent any thought to be emis
saries from crossing the river. George
Holmes of El Paso, formerly Villa's
rattle: buyer and close friend, came
here yesterday with the expressed in
tention of crossing the river to see
Villa, but was not given the necessary
permit. A number of Villa partisan
are known to be gathering in El Paso.

RUSS OFFICIALS
PROTEST METHODS
OF BOLSHEVIKI
(Continued From Page One.)
ment today from Tornea, on the
Swedish frontier, say passengers ar
riving there from Russia'declare the
Russian situation is controlled by
General Kaledines, the Cossack com
mander, who holds the country's coal
and bread supply in the Don Cossack
region.
A similar view is taken at Stock
holm. A message from there, dated
yesterday, tells of the belief that
Kaledines is the man of the hour
and that Petrograd is at his mercy.
A dispatch from Tornea, dater yes
terday, reports the arival there of
several Americans from Petrograd in
advance of the large party being sent
away by Ambassador Francis. Petro
grad was said to be quiet, with
theaters open and trains runi.ing.
boldiers were parading the streets
of the city bearing banners stating
that "Russia does not want separate
peace" and demanding constitutional
assembly for all Russia, and declar
ing that the Nicholas regime was
never so tyrannical as that of the
Bolsheviki.
New Rule Cannot Last
The passengers were of the opin
ion that the present - revolutionary
government cannot last because it
lacks support of all the parties, in
cluding the extreme socialists.
Kerensky is again reported to have
escaped capture and to have gone to
the front in an effort to get support.
According to Swedish newspapers,
an army corps in marching on Petro
grad under command of an army com
mittee determined to end the Bolshe
viki power.,
Some one would like to rent just
the kind of room you have vacant.

NO INCREASED FEE
FOR CATTLE GRAZING
Secretary Houston Decides
Against Advance to Encour
age Cattlemen in Filling
Demands for Beef.
Washington, Nov. 20. Secretary
Houston announced today that
despite his conviction that the gov
ernment fees charged this year for
grazing privileges on the national for
ests are below the real Value of the
forage, there will be no further ad
vance in those fees for the present.
This assurance and a statement that
there will be no substantial change in
the existing regulations governing the
issuance of grazing permits for more
than a year were made in a letter Jie
sent to the secretaries of the Ameri
can National Live Stock association
and the National Wool Growers' association.
On account of war conditions, Sec
retary Houston said in his letter,
stockmen have been called upon to
overcome many difficulties in order to
keep up the suddIv of beef, mutton
hides and wool for this country and
the allies, and for that reason he. has
decided that grazine fees now in
force will be continued, "with the ex
ception of such minor changes as may
seem advisable to adjust and correlate
the fees between certain "forests or
groups of forests.
The secretary said that he feels the
matter of issuing five or ten-year per
mits also should be deferred for con
siaeration later, tne demand tor in
creased meat production tending- to
make the issuance of such permits in
advisable.

London, Nov. 20. The British

was followed today by the' rapid dfi-1
posal of many important resolutions
upon which the anti-war party had
been expected to show fight.
Resolutions relating to labor supply
to meet war conditions were adopted
after brief debate. The creation of
an emergency supply commission con
nected with the federal Department of
Labor, provided for in a. resolution
offered by a western delegate, and the
report of the executive council on the
proper distribution of labor were cov
ered jointly in a report from the reso
lutions committee.

the incoming executive council take
up with the presidents of all affiliated
organizations and the proper govern
ment officials any question that may
arise in connection with labor supply
during the war.

Congress Non-Skid Tires
Hold the Road
mi Urn
ill im
THEY answer the steering
wheel without slip or slide
because they grip the road. They
reduce the possibility of skidding
to a minimum making motoring
safer and driving a pleasure in
stead of a task.
The cupped studs combined
with reinforced bars and bands
provide a direct and positive re
sistance to slippage in any direc
tion. This minimizes friction and
keeps your -power cost at the
lowest possible mark.
And the Congress Non-Skid
sjives a smooth, even riding con
tact with the , road. The bars
and bands bridge the small gaps
between studs, thus eliminating
all jolt and jar common to .non
skid tires. .
But this "hold the road" qual
ity of Congress Non-Skid is due
not alone to the tread. Rather
to the M balance" in design and
materials, and to the ex' silence
of construction, which are nota
ble characteristics of the Congress
tire structure. All these make
for tire "readability and conse
quently for the exceptional dura
bility of Congress casings.
