Kill for Soldiers Kontn.
A measure lias been presented to
tho house at Washington providing in
a comprehensive way for further pay
meat to the soldiors for their sorvlcos
In war. Introduced by Chiilromn
Fordncy of tho vns and means com
mittee, it nmy be accepted that the
measure has had tho careful scrutiny
If not tho full approval of that Im
portant body, from which must come
tho lawH that bring tho revenue. This
fact will gtvo tho moasuro consider
able weight In advance- of detailed dis
cussion. Mr. Fordney has ovidontly tried to
reconcile a number of conflicting
views, and to embody several plans
that have- boon proposed for giving nd
diltotial compensation to the soldiors.
Fifty million dollars a year for a
period of ten years Is to bo dovotcd to
carrying out tho land settlement Idea,
to enable former service men to bring
into usefulness Borne of tho present
wasto area oftho country. Fifty mil
lion dollars will bo available for homo
loans, giving tho boys a chanco to
acquire with government assistance
tho home each one ought to have. Vo
cational training and education get
$5,000,000, and provision is made for
carrying out tho purpose of tho act.
As an alternative proposition for
either of these, tho bill allows pays
at tho rnto of $1.50 per day for each
day served between April G, 1917, and
November 11. 1019, or one year beyond
tho declaration of tho armistice, and
Including all the time the great army
was in existence. This payment U.to
be made within a year.
Tiiis bill fairly meets the demand
of all. Thoso who propose farms for
the soldiers have a chance to get them.
Those who want a home In a city or
town, can have It. ICducntlon and ox
pert training will be put vlthln the
roach of any who seek assistance in
order to be able V cam a bettor liv
ing, and those who would profor a
casli settlement can havo It. Loglon
alres and others have not wholly ngro
ed on what form tho compensation Is
to take, so tho Fordnoy bill Includes
the four lending suggestions.
Congros now has n chanco and can
do nothing bettor thnn1 eond this bill
along with something of tho speod that
marked tho passago of tho big war
measures that wont through with a
whoop. Omaha Boo.

Where Wood Stands
In Characteristic, Frank Manner Leonard Wood
Speaks Out on Principles and Policies
of Our Government.
"Our government must be put
on a budget system. Only by
carefully estimating our expen
ditures and seeing to It that all
departments keep within lliolr
appropriations can we hope to
curb the criminally Insane waste
of any administration. Washing
ton must cense to be the spigot
from which tlows all the foolish
expenditures of tho nation.
"I- firmly believe that the Irk
some war taxes which retard
trade anil prosperity and make
life a burden for the small busi
ness man, farmer and household
er should ho spread over a long
er term of years. It Is not fair
that tho people who worked and
fought lo save America for pos
terity should have to pay all the
bills, loo.
"America's most precious trust
Its children are In the hands
of .woefully underpaid group of
hlg'h-souled citizens, our teach
ers. The educators of our coun
try, highly trained for their
wrk, hold at their dis-posal the
greatest asset wo have against
bolshevism and the red menace.
They mold the makeup of our
next generation. We must see
to It that they ure puld a better
wage.
"Relations between capital and
labor between those who work
and those who direct must bo
on the basis of a square deal to
labor and a square deal to cap
ital; a wage which, with thrift
and Industry, will enable a man
to live and save. We must pro
vide the necessary machinery
promptly to investigate condi
tions at Issuo In strikes and for
making the sumo public. Wo can
largely control these conditions
through sound public opinion ;
but sound public oi.jlon cannot
be created without intelligent
and frank publicity. We must
strive to Increase the human ele
ment In the relations between
employers and employees. Wo
must see that labor has suitable
working conditions. We must
abolish child labor. We must give
nn- honest day's wage for an
honest day's work, and In turn
labor must give an honest day's,
work. Wo must not only let live'
but help to live.
v
"I believe in developing a de
partment of agriculture thai ful
ly and Intelligently co-operates
with the farmer and the great
farm organizations, with one at
tho head who knows and ap
preciates the farm needs from
experience.
"The nation must be made to
realize the Importance of tho
farmer; and the government you
establish In Washington must
know what the hard-working
producers of our country need.
"I have no apologies to make
for the American uniform. If I
had, it would be an Insult to
every soldier who died In Franco
or in any previous war we huve
waged.
"Let us build up an Intense
American spirit solllsh but
helpful to a world In tronble,
backed by tho right kind of nn
American conscience. , Fight
loose-llbered Internationalism as
you would death, for It means
national death. America has a
groat mission In the world, one
which she can only perform by
being a strong, united peopl."
The Nation Needs Such a Man
General Wood has, as an administrative official, held re
sponsible pesltlons "d has never been found wanting. He Is
absolutely safe and sane on fundamental principles of our con
stitutional government, his feet are always on the ground, and if
elected president, will settle questions for the untrl welfare
regardless of Its political affect. The nation needs such. a man
In the white house.

Former North Platte
People Held Up by
Bandits in Chicago.
( From Chicago Kxnmlner Mutch 26)
The following account of a robbery
In Chicago In which tho victims wore
former North Platto pooplo,, will be of
interest to our roadors!
Hrazenlywalklng Into tho parlor of
a private home in tho middle of the
forenoon today, three woll dressod
young bandits, with tho npponranco of
college students, thrust pistols In tho
face of Mrs. William L. Park, wlfo of
the vico president of tho Groat West
ern railroad, hor sistor and daughtor-In-lnw,
forced tho throo women Into
tho kitchen with two maid servants
and robbed tho houso of more thnn
$3,000 worth of jewelry and $4 In
cash.
William Park, Jr., 21 years old. who
'iu oponulng a typewriter on tho
third floor of the houso. at f)T20 Wood-
lRwn avenue, did not know of the rob
bers' visit until after they had left.
lhe bold oxplolt of the youthful
bandits occurred at about 10:30
o'clock, airs. Park, her slstor-In-law
Mrs. Mary Dill, and hor daughter-in-
law, Mrs. P. J. Park, were sitting in a
front parlor when tho door boll rang.
Airs. William Park wont to the vost-
ibule. Three young nion natlly at
tired, two of thorn wore caps and yie
third a fedora, stood in the door way.
one of tho youths was writing busily
in a notebook.
"Is Mi4. Park at homo?" lnnulred
one of tho men politely. .
"No," replied Mrs. Park.
"Is Mr. Park, junior, at home," he
asked.
Uoforo Mrs. Park could reply a
second member of tho trio pushed past
tho Hpokosman, thrust a pistol in Mrs.
Park's fneo and commanded sternly:
"Walk back in tho house and don't
say a word!"
Trembling with fright Mrfc. Park
complied. Tho three men followed,
all showing pistols ns they reached
tile door of the parlor. Tho two wo
men sitting there arose at the strange
spectacle with which thoy suddenly
wore confronted.
'Keep your seats," commanded one
of the men sharply .menacing one of
them with his weapon. Mrs. William
Park also was ordered to tnko a chair,
while tho robbers hold a brief whis
pered consultation, keeping, mean
while, a threatening watch on tho
orrorlzed women.
"Where's your jewelry?" finally de
manded one of tho men, turning to the
younger Mrs. Park.
" I haven't any, she replied faintly,
"I have just recently been married."
"Where's yours?" ho barked, turn
ing upon Mrs. Dill.
t-ho replied that she also had none.
The question was put a third time to
Mrs. William Park, who In reply ex
tended her lunula and arms bare of
any ornaments.
"All right, lot's look around," broko
in another member of tho three.
The robbers then ordered the three
women Into the rear of tho house.
With the utmost coolness they herded
their captives into the kitchen, order
ed tho two maids thoy found there to
mako no outcry under pain of bolng
shot, and leaving one of their party to
guard the women, the other two went
up stairs.
A few minutes later they returned
"Well, wo couldn't find anything,
calmly announced one. "Let's get out
of hero."
Thoy started toward tho door, then
as they wero departing, one, of them
flourished his pistol toward tho
frightened women, huddled In a ter
rified group In a corner of tho room.
"You don't need to say much about
this," ho warned them. "We don't
wnnt too much talk. If we get caught
wo will get about ton years so don't
say anything more about it. We did
not get anything anyway."
The youths hurried from the houso.
turned he corner of Flfty-scvonth
street and disappeared.
The Ilydo Park police and detec
tives from tho bureau under tho
leadership of Chief Moonoy responded
at once to the hysterical alarm of tho
women, and started to beat through
tho neighborhood in search of tho
daring trio.
Investigation revealed that the rob
bers took four- diamond rings, a dia
mond brooch, a pearl necklace and
two watches from a' dresser in Mrs.
Park's room.
Among tho rings was one sot with
a diamond of one and one-half carats,
valued at ?i00, another set with a
stone of throe-fourth carat valued at
$300, a ring with a cluster of nine
diamonds valued at $200, and a dinner
ring set with seven diamonds.
Tho brooch was In tho form of an
owl's head, with two small diamonds
sot In tho eyes. The other was a Jap
anese design, bearing dragons traced
in tho gold of tho case. Four dollars
in cash was also missing.
In all tho jowelry was valued at
omre than $3000, Mrs. Parks mild.
None of tho robbera appeared to be
more than 20 years old, she told the
police, and all wore overcoats of fash
ionable mako.
"I asked the lender if ho wasn't
ashamed of himself," Mrs. Parks said,
"and ho answered that lie wasn't bo
causo thoy wero bandits. Thoy used
good languago in their conversation,
and when thoy loft thoy said nothing
to us, but walked out calmly into the
street."

The Forces of the Church of Christ
Will Gather To Face the Facts
m
IN 2000 counties in the United States "tho pastors
and laymen of 30 great denominations will meet
in conference this month.
It is the kind of conference that generals hold
before a critical engagement; that business men
hold before entering a new market. A conference
of judgment, not emotion; a clear-eyed facing of
the facts.
A Survey that Business Men Must Admire
For more than a year hundreds of workers have been
quietly engaged in making a scientific survey of.tho mission
fields, and of America county by county.
The facts developed are startling. No such picture of
America's religious situation has ever before been drawn.
On the basis of these surveys thirty Protestant de
nominations are uniting in a
Nation Wide Cooperative Campaign
Each of the thirty denominations has its own "For
ward Movement" organized and officered. The Interchurch
World Movement is the clearing house for all of these.
It is the agency which the churches have created to,
avoid duplication, to foster cooperation and make sure that
every man and dollar render the utmost service possible.
The month of April will bo devoted to making
the facts of the survey known to America; in tho week' of
April 25th -May 2nd, will come a united simultaneous
financial campaign.
Whether You Are Inside the Church or Out
To every man and every woman who loves his country,
these 2000 county conferences are vitally important.
For 'the facts developed by this great survey show
vividly what forces are at work in America and what kind
of a country this country is to be.
See that the pastor of your church appoints
delegates. Any pastor can tell you the con
ference place and date. Or write direct to the
