Washington, Nov. 5. Victim of
defenselessneis but glorying in an
age-long pacifism, China comes to
the international conference on, the
limitation of aramaments seeking a
nrotective agreement of the powers
which will permit her to develop
without providing for self-defense
.Ihe United states alone ot tnc
great powers has not sought to de
spoil China ot either territory or
resources and has frequently inter
vened with success to curb the ra
pacity of aggressors upon the an-
cicnt Asiatic nation, notably when
John Hay obtained the assent of the
cowers to the open door principle
and when President Wilson halted
the imposition by Japan of group
five of the 21 demands which would
have made China a political depen
dency of Nippon.
China Looks to U. S.
Hence it is the United States that
- China looks to specially for aid. to
achieve a new dispensation of pro-
," tection. What China hopes to at
tain was revealed today by Dr.'Al
fred Sze, Chinese minister to the
United States under a memo of the
Chinese delegation to the confer
ence. "China is entering this conference
whole-heartedly with full confidence
In the motives of the American peo
ple in their attempt to bring about
better conditions in the Pacific and
the world generally," said Dr. $ze.
"America's policy toward China has
"' always been friendly and construc
tive. We have a full appreciation of
, America's altruism toward Asia, be
, cause one of the only two foreign
. policies which the United States has
' ever developed since it became a na
tion, apply to Asia. I refer to the
open door policy of equal oppor
tunity which waj announced orig
inally by Mr..-John Hay, secretary
of state a quarter of a century ago.
"The open door policy has been
happily likened to your Monroe doc
trine which applies to the young te
puhlics of the 'new world. As I
' "understand your Monroe doctrine, it
simply means that the new repub1
lies of the new; world are to be pro-
,f tected from foreign agression while
they work out their self-develop
ment. In-assisting in this develop
ment of the republics of the new
world, you do not claim monopolis
tic privileges to the exclusion of
Others. v . ,

"You are quite willing that all na
tions of, the world shall compete
with you in the business and indus

continent. Now that is a doctrine

same thing. ' , "

they attempted, to stop a Ku Klux

of October-1,' was contained in the
final report of the McLennan county

The section of the report dealing
with Sheriff Buchanan said:
' "The sheriff went to Lorena with
the avowed purpose of stopping the
parade and so announced on his ar
rival. The citizens 'had gathered to
witness the parade and some of the
most substantial ones offered to be
responsible for the lawful conduct of
the Ku Klux Klan, but the sheriff
refused td accede to their request,
declaring that there would be no
parade unless they marched orer his
dead body. -. .- .
"We desire to go on recwd as

Chicago, Nov. 5. The great heart
of Chicago went out to Marshal
Foch today, that wiry, military fig
ure who out-thought and out-fouglit,
with the help of American dough,
boys, the German military staff with
its green-gray devastating hordes.
There was nothing of triumph in
the attitude of the great French
f.ero. 1 . In his grey face, with its
sunken cheeks and deep-set Vyes,
there are marks of suffering. His
eyes do not smile, neither do his
lips. : In facial expression, he re
minds one of Lincoln. In a way
he symbolizes the great war, the
mothers' tears, the sacrifices ot
heroes, the tragedy of broken homes.
He saw the miles and miles of bil
lowing flags, the American emblem
and the tri-color, but he seemed to
be looking beyond all that to, the
hundreds of thousands of graves
which dot the hillsides and valleys
of France.
Chicago turned its keys over to
him and greeted him with joyous
heart. For two days he will be the
guest of this city two busy days,
crowded with receptions, dinners, pa
rades, the bestowal of university hon
ors, the dedication of the great Hincs
hospital for wounded soldiers and

ing that the house instruct its con
ferees to accept the senate surtax
rates instead of insisting upon the
minimum of 32 per cent as provided
in the house bill. .
Senator La Follette, in addressing
the senate, made an attack upon
Secretary of the .treasury Mellon.
He declared the secretary should be
retired from office because of an
"impudent and brazen assertion that
wealth will not bear its full share of
tax burdens and that congress
might as " well accept it as a fact."

testimony by Secretary Mellon be
fore committees in connection with
the contention of the treasury that

No War Ravages.
' By E. C. SNYDER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee,
Washington, Nov. 5. R. B. How
ell arrived here this forenoon from.
New York, and will leave for home
Monday evening. He is accompa
nied by Mrs. Howell. They are re
turning from a six weeks' tour of
Europe. - ' '
Mr. Howell says that they had
pleasant sea voyages and a busy,
but , restful, visit through the Eu
ropean countries. ' They spent most
of the time in Germany, Austria and
Huneary. but were several days in
France and Eflg!anijff'5jbcy- fourth
France in a state of unrest over the
war artd especially over what they
claim is the failure of Germany to
pay proper .indemnities. .
In Germany there was little sur
face indication that there had been
any war. , Business was going on as
usual, streets were crowded, hotels
so .filled that reservations' must be
made days in advance, and theaters
packed to capacity every night. The
great inflation of paper money had
brought the German mark down so
low that one dealt in thousands and
tens of thousands.
American Money Powerful.
The American dollar will buy four
times as much of necessities of life
as it will in America. The inflation
has, resulted in an actual increase in
wages. Hotel rates in Berlin- are
about one-tenth of the New York
rate and based on the American
dollar real estate is selling at about
one-tenth what it was worth before
the war.
This is because the rentals are
regulated by the government and will
no more than pay the taxes and
upkeep. i . "
In England the sentiment jeemed
to be unanimous against giving up
Ireland, but the people did not care
to discuss the question except to
say that they supposed the Irish
would fight, they always had. The
English are more concerned over
the "Dole," the payment that is be
ing made to the unemployed.

Attendance at the Gipsy Smith re
vivals the last three weekshas been
estimated by an Omaha minister as
being more than 100,000. There have
been 18 nicht meetings and four aft
ernoon meetings at wnich the attend
ance has averaged 5,000 persons, i he
ministers are elated over the regular
attendance during the past three
weeks. Two nights last week the
weather prevented capacity houses
or the attendance would have reached
a much larger figure, ministers say.
The revival has had more than a
local influence. Men antl women
have come from five to SOONniles to
hean the evangelist and fiis great
choir tinder the leadership ot Wee
Willie McE wan. Many states and
cities have been represented.
The attendance this week the last
one of the four weeks' campaign
is expected to increase, as the best
of the evangelist's sermons are to be
delivered. His grat lectures, "From
the Gipsy Tent, to the Pulpit" and
"Mv Life Among the Gipsies" 'will
be delivered some night this week.
The evangelist refuses to announce
what night they -will be delivered.
"Come ' every night," he tells -his
audiences," and then you won't miss
them." ' .-;. . in,.v
Collections Fall Down.
Up to the present time the collec
tions haven't been as liberal as ex
pected. The expenses of the cam
paign and for the "followup" cam
paign to be waged after the revivals,
amount to $18,000, of which approxi
mately $15,000 has been pledged or
collected, according to J. R. Cain,
jr., financial chairman of the cam
paign. ' " ' v.;,,'
Conversions have been many, and
the ministers believe that the revival
will result in a general "back to the
church" "movement in Omaha. Thou
sands of names have been handed in
on the pledge cards passed out by
the personal workers at every serv
ice. These have all been compiled
and sorted, into the denominations to
which they belong. The cards are
to be turned over to the various min
isters following the revival.
Mothers' day last Thursday after
noon was the peak of the special
days. More than 6.UU0 women, most
ly mothers and grandmothers, at
tended the exercises and enjoyed the
splendid addresses on the duties of
mothers by Mrs. Carl Gray and Gip
sy Smith. i
No Special Days This Week.
The special meetings for women
last Sunday and the one for the men,
the preceding Sunday afternoon were
also meetings which were filled with
inspirational messages.
Following a general prayer meet
ing by all the ministers at the Y.
M. C. A., Friday afternoon, the Rev.
Titus Lowe announced at the Friday
night meeting that the whole city
of Omaha would be called upon to
pray this week, that the campaign
would end in a blaze of glory for
Christ. , " '
The noonday meetings at the Bran
deis theater have been well attend
ed by the business men and women
of the city. Preceded by a local
minister each noon, the evangelist
has given some valuable spiritual
as well as practical advice to his
hearers each noon.
No special meetings have been
planned for this week although dele
gations representing many organiza
tions have applied for special reser
vations. The last week of the cam
paign will see the campaign grow
more intense and with attendance
surpassing that of any previous
week, ministers predict.

Threat of
Rail Strike
Renewed
Brotherhoods Declare Vote
Will Be Revived If Wage
Board Fails to Keep .
Promises.
Coercion Is Charged
Cleveland, O., Nov. S.-The "Big
Five" railroad brotherhoods will
vive the strike vote and use it if
necessary if the promises of the rail
road labor board made to the broth'
erhood chiefs just before the threat
ened general railroad strike was
called off last week are not carried
out, according to a memorandum
which has been mailed to all general
and local chairmen and members of
the five organizations, it was learned
today.
The threatened strike was called
off, the memorandum asserted, when
it became known that unless that ac
tion was taken, not only the execu
tive officers of the brotherhoods, but
the general chairmen and local chair
men would be arrested on charges
of conspiracy.
Coercive Measures Used.
"Due to the memorandum of the
labor board, asserting that working
rules and disputes would be disposed
of before further, wage reductions
were considered, and the further
fact of the imminent arrest of the
leaders, it was deemed best that the
strike be called off," said the cir
cular. "It may be claimed by some that
the promises made by the labor board
will not be carried out," the circu
lar continued, "due to coercive influ
ences, and in case this should come
to pass, we would be in exactly the
same position we were in after the
enactment of the Adamson law in
1916, and the strike vote which was
called off, will be revived and used
if necessary."
Members Deny Promises.
Chicago, Nov. S. The railroad la
bor board made,no promises official
ly to the trainmen and did not figure
in any official capacity in the decision
to call off the threatened rail strike
last week, it was pointed out today
by board members when they heard
of the circular being sent brother
hood members concerning a revival
of the strike vote. ,
" A resolution adopted by the board
which would place further wage re
duction request's by the roads at the
end of the docket, undoubtedly played
a part in the labor chiefs determina
tion, it was pointed out, : but . no
promise of delay in acting on such
requests was made. .
