Attack on High
and Dry Forces
Pro-EIcction Letter Is Made
Public—Move Said to Be
Effort to Square Self
With Wets.
Lincoln, Jan. 14.—(Special.)—Gov
ernor Bryan stated a movement
to make the Anti Saloon league
and Its Nebraska superintendent. F.
A. High, unpopular In Nebraska by
releasing a letter written to Mr. High
during the election by P. A. Baker,
general superintendent of the league,
criticising action of Mr. High and the
league in Nebraska for failure to
endorse the Bryan candidacy for gov
ernor.
The letter released at this time Is
taken here as an attempt of the new
governor to square himself with the
wet element, which was admittedly
double-crossed by Governor Bryan,
when, following his campaign promise
to abolish the state sheriff, he put
Tom Carroll, under a different title,
in the same position held by State
Sheriff Gus Myers.
Baker Write* Letter.
The Anti Saloon league declined to
indorse Bryan In the election because
Bryan entered Into a political tieup
with Senator Hitchcock, a notorious
wet until a few days before election,
when he professed conversion to the
dry cause. The letter written by
Superintendent Baker to High, which
was released by Governor Bryan In
his office today and which on the face
of it. followed a letter of protest on
High's action written by William Jen
nings Bryan, follows:
"Mr. Wheeler lias forwarded to me
the enclosed letter from Mr. Bryan.
It seems to me there must be some
mistake about your statement of Sep
tember 28: ’’We are, therefore, op
posed to any candidate who lends his
support to the nomination and elec
tion of Senator Hitchcock.’ If you
are correctly quoted In this, it Is cer
tainly a moat serious mistake. That
policy would ruin us everywhere.
Men engaged in party politics, may be
all right themselves, but they may
stand for their party ticket with wet
men on the ticket. To adopt
the policy Indicated in this statement
would narrow us down to a very small
per cent of the voters.
Friends of Drys.
"Mr. Charles Bryan has been a good
friend of our movement; through the
Commoner in years past, and he and
Mr. W. J. Bryan have dene herculean
service In our cause. In addition to
that, Mr. Bryan himself gave up his
time and paid his own expenses up to
the time of the ratification of the
eighteenth amendment. Our policy
has always been nonpartisan, our ap
peal has been to our people to vote
for a good man on the opposite ticket
rather than a bad one on our own;
and when both party nominees are
friendly to the things wo are trying
to do, we ha?e carcfulfe kept our
hands off. V
"I hope there' is some fcjstake about
this and would thank you to write mo
at once and let me know if this state
ment is correct. If It is correct, let
me appeal to you to correct It at once
ho that the benefit of,the correction
may be known throughout the state
before election day. If the statement
is correct and Is not corrected as a
league policy, Mr. Bryan is justified In
the attitude he assumes. I under
stand that Senator Hitchcock has
agreed with Mr. Wheeler to stand
against all weakening of the Volstead
law.”
Mr. High was reported to be In the
east today.
A provinc* in central Europe lias a i
traveling dental clinic. It visits the

up aa a dentist's office and In charge
of an expert dentist. During the stay

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub

colored tablets are the result of Dr.
Edwards’ determination not to treat liver

The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no lad after
effects. They don’t injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. It is best not to take calomel.
Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its
place.

Rhine Headquarters Resembles
Court of Domestic Relations i
_ 1
Scores of German Women Bent on Airing Love Affairs With
American Doughboys—Every Man in Guardhouse
Has Sweetheart on Outside.
Coblen*. Jan. 14.—By A. P.)—Amer
ican military headquarters here has
been overrun In the last three days by
women bent on airing their love af
j fairs with American soldiers who have
departed or are about to depart from
Germany, ajid are turning the place
Into a sort of a domestic relations
court. Some of these women want
American soldiers already In the
United States to be returned here
so they can marry them; others want
to go to America to get married. Still
others say they are willing to marry
soldiers here, but first want assur
ance they will be taken aboard the
St. Mlhiel.
Nearly every man unfortunate
enough to be in the guardhouse Is
fortunate enough to have some Ger
man girl asking that he be released
so that he might marry her. All
sorts of complications have arisen
from these soldier marriages or prom
ises to marry and other domestic re
lations formed on the Rhine.
Will Ijiy Down Law.
Headquarters is about to issue a
bulletin on the subject, laying down
the law. The bulletin will explain
to the soldiers first, that the laws
of the United States do not permit
a woman to acquire American citi
zenship by mariage aud calling at
tention to the law limiting the quota
of immigrants; second, that the quota
of Immigrants from Germany Is un
derstood to be filled: that a soldier’s
wife must have a passport and,
fourth, the responsibility for getting
his wife to the United States must
be assumed by the soldier husband.
The chaplains have been trying to
straighten out these affairs; they run
across many romances and some at
tempts by the older and mercenary
women to take advantage of inexperi
enced young soldiers to force a mar
riage.
Love and marriage have often given
headquarters something to worry
about, for the American doughboy
has always seemed to the German
girls a good catch, psrticularly since
the depreciation of the mark has made
the Americans millionaires.
Thousand Soldiers Married.
The soldier marriages caused MaJ.
Gen. Allen, last April, to issue a cau
tion to the troops; it is estimated that
1,000 soldiers entered into the mar
ried state in the occupation area dur
ing the year ending last June and
some outside of that area withput
the knowledge of the officers. Many
of those families proceeded to the
United States when the American
fores were reduced.
The St. Mihiel, It is expected, will
take with the troops only the wives
and families of officers and enlisted
men above grade IV. This would In
clude the wives of only about 40 en
listed men and 12 children, but it Is
understood that as soon as the space
available on the ship has been allot
ted, whatever room is left will be de
voted to the carylng of the brides.
The wives of the officers number 70
and the children 85, but many of
these will return on commercial lin
ers.

D. J. Dolan Addresses
Philosophical
Declaring that there are Two sorts
of conscience, social and Individual,
D. F. Dolan appeared yesterday after
noon in an address before the Omaha
Philosophical society in the Patter
son block.
"The individual conscience is based
on self-interest," he said, "while the
social conscience is not only interest
ed in Its own welfare but also in the
happiness of its brother man. It
Is right in principle and exerts a salu
tary influence in practice.
"The individual conscience has
been largely cultivated in this coun
try, because of our environment.
"Christian men and women are in
terested not only in promoting the
prosperity of the IndividAl, but also
the public welfare. Commulties ani
mated with this spirit are the most
desirable ones in which to live. The
social conscience is the foundation
upon which civilization rests.”
Unde Sam Says:
One-Register Furnaces.
The principle of the one-register
system of warm-air heating which has
comq into prominence during the last
few years, is by no means new. Some
50 or 60 years Ago a patent was
granted for a stove with a jacket
. around it, to be placed in the base
| ment, which it was claimed, would de
lii'er enough heat through a single
opening in the floor above it to heat
an entire house. The original idea,
however, provided no means for re
moving from the rooms the cold air
which the heated air must displace in
order to warm the houso properly.
Consequently, success never crowned
the efforts of the original inventor.
The Bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agri
culture has made an extended study
of the construction of one-register
furnaces, found their limitations and
have embodied their findings in a
booklet which explains the system,
illustrates the circulation of cold and
warm air in the rooms, and points
out conditions under which satisfac
tory service can be expected.

his brother as having been recognized
as a member of a black-hooded kid
naping band, another seized and lec
tured by the "black hoods" and the
third telling of his anxiety to leave the
community because of Ku Klux Klan
activities—with the collapse of plans
for a conference between A. V. Coco,
state attorney general and Capt. J.
K. Sklpwith, klan leader, furnished
thrills In the state's Investigation of
masked band depredations in More
house parish.
Fred Cobb, who hails from Texas,
where he says men fight square, told
of being seized by five hooded men,
one of whom he declared was Laurie
Calhoun, named by other witnesses as
a klansman. Cobb said he was taken
to a woods and given a lecture by

Cobb on the stand was A. L. Smith,

Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti-saloon

"dry" point of view in a prohibition
debate at the National Republican

Augustus Thomas, playwright, and
Ransom Oillett, who upheld the

by boisterous applause.
Mr. Wheeler declared that prohi

Messrs. Thomas and Olllett urged

Voice of Angora
Stirs Delegates
at Peace Parley
*
Stand of Hassan Bey Leaves
Members Wondering as to
Final Outcome of Lau
sanne Conference.
Lausanne, Jan, 14.—(By A. P.)—
The voice of far away Angora, heard
through the mouth of Ilassan
Bey, who has just returned from the
capital, was so discordant to the al
lied representatives that many were
wondering tonight whether the near
east conference will over progress to
ward peace.
Ismet Pasha, who backed Ilassan
Bey, could neither be threatened nor
cajoled Into seeing the financial ques
tions HfTecting Turkey as the allied
delegates wanted him to see them,
lie said the Turks had made conces
sions ever since they came to Lau
sanne and that it was now about time
the allies reciprocated.
As some of the allies feel they have
gone far enough In the matter of
conciliation, they did not seem to
know whether to accept this as a
serious declaration, but Ismet laughed
outright for the first time since the
inauguration of the conference and
most of the European diplomats got
the Impression that Mustapha Kemal
Pasha’s favorite general was having
his little joke.
Working Together.
Far from being split asunder by the
Paris reparations differences. Franca
and England seem to be working even
closer together at Lausanne, appar
ently with the supreme object of set
tling the peace In the near east as
soon as possible so they may be free
to concentrate on the greater problem
of the reconstruction of Europe as a
whole.
The Turks, who are good psycholo
gists, immediately scented this policy
and are not disposed to hurry.
The conference leaders summoned
a meeting of the full commission on
economic and financial questions to
act on the report of the subcommit
tee concerning the Ottoman debt, war
damages and the expenses of the al
lied occupation of Turkey.
This subcommittee recommended
that the Turkish debt, up to the time
of the world war, should bo appor
tioned among the territories detached
from Turkey, such as Syria, Mesopo
tamia, the kingdom of Hedjas, Pales
tine and Albania, but the Turks in
sisted that all debts incurred by Tur
key during the war should also be dis
tributed among the so-caJled succes
sion states. These debts, they said,
were incurred for the good of all the
former Turkish empire, iucluding '
those parts now detached.
Curion Issues Warning.
Marquis Cunton, for Great Britain,
maintained that the date to be taken
should be the beginning of the war
and warned the Angora delegate* that
they gave the Impression of deliber
ately putting an obstacle In the path
of the peace for which all were striv
ing. After emphasizing that the
Turks had done nothing but make
concessions, Ismet Pasha said:
‘‘We are only asking for a minimum
in everything,” then he laughed heart
ily.
Lord Curzon remarked:
"Now that Ismet Pasha has had his
little Joke, I think it is time he made
his concession."
But Ismet Pasha replied:
"Excuse me—we are very poor at
Angora.”

this morning, although the erection
of the zone was purely an American
idea, suggested by Woodrow Wilson at
the Paris conference.
The Urosswardein situation Is more
than serious, especially in view of
faselstl activities in Hungary, and is
avowedly aimed to reobtaln for the
Magyars all territories lost under
treaties. J.jeutenent Hajas, a popu
lar hero, who fought to retain Burg
enland from Austria last year, Is re
ported to be heading irregular front
ier troops in the Urosswardein fight
ing.
The Budapest government denies
thte concentration of troop* on the
frontier, but it demands that allies
force the Rumanians to respect Its
boundaries and to send an Investigat
ing commission to the spot. The Buch
arest government rejects the propos
als, asserting that the Rumanians
are not to blame for the affair and
threatening to take strong measures
if Hungary is not able to quell the
trouble Immediately.

If he were a really sincere friend—a chap who
wished you well—you wouldn’t wave “Hello”to
him one morning and “pass him up” the next.
Of course not! You’d say “Hello” every day.
Same with prunes. To “warm up” to them one
morning and give them the “cold shoulder” the
next is hardly fair. For prunes—and, more per
sonally, Sunsweet Prunes—are the finest fruit
friend you have. •
Quick-to-use energy comes to you from their
rich fruit sugar. Body balance springs from

elements. And don’t forget that Sunsweet Prunes
are a natural corrective—a body-regulator that
Nature needs to keep you fit-and-cheery.

Prunes, in one delicious form or other, everyday.

ing terms” with your finest fruit-friend—
