Wireless Used in Farm Strike Farmers’ Union in Norfolk, England. Appeals for Strike Breakers. Norwich, England, March 81.—The farm strike In Norfolk continue* to be accompanied by unusual features. One of these was the use of a wire less broadcasting outfit to circulate the appeal of the farmers' union for strike breakers. Many volunteers ^ have come to the help of the farmers, including women who did agricultural work during the war. The employment of outsiders and the refusal of some of the laborers to leave their duties has brought about ill feeling. In several Instances strik ers are alleged to have turned loose the livestock and to have blown horns to frighten teams with which loyal employes were plowing. Leaders of the strike organization say that funds are coining 1n freely from sympathizers who in some cases sre said to be the farmer* themselves. Many clergymen are supporting the strike.

"More questions sent by the per plexed to Rev. Frank O. Smith are answered here. Dr. Smith's series of seven Sunday evening lectures have taxed the extreme capacity of First Central Congregational church. Questions from those honestly seeking enlightenment on Bible passages or problems of religious life may be sent to the Bible -edi tor The Oinalia Bee and will be turned over to Dr. Smith, his an swers to appear in The Omaha Bee next Sunday. Questions should be sent as early as possible this week. The last lecture of this series will he delivered tonight at 7:45 hy Dr. Smith on "The Mission of Jesus; In cluding the Majesty of His- Life, the Furpo.se of His Death and the Mys tery of His Resurrection.” Questions sent in last week and Dr. Smith's answ'ers are as follows; QUESTIONS. No. 1—Please explain 1 Corinthians xv:40-42. No. 2—Why did Christ preach to the spirits in prison (1 Peter iii:19>? No. 3—Did the thief go directly to Cod's kingdom at his demise? No. 4—How could Japob wrestle with God before any resurrection if God had pot previously been resur rected before this world was and had flesh and bone, Christ being the first fruits of the resurrection (Luke xxiv ;36-43l? ANSWERS. N*»' 1.— In oilier to understand this passage you will need to read what immediately precedes these verses. Paul is trying to explain to the best of his ability the mystery of spiritual existence in a spiritual world: he is trying to explain to perplexed people how it is that we retain our identity and our personality in a spiritual en vironment where flesh and blood can not enter. In verse 39 lie illustrates by saying, "All flesh is not the sapte flesh: but there is one flesh of men and another of birds and another of beasts and another of fishes." Now the bird cannot live in the water like the fish and the fish cannot live in the air like the bird, and the man and the beasts cannot live in either the air or the water like the bird and the fish: that is, each one has a body adapted to the environment in which he lives. Then in verse 40 the apostle says, just like that, "There are bodies celestial and bodies terrestrial." That Is, bodies for this world and bodies for the spiritual world. Read the chap ter on through to the end and it will tie very apparent to any unprejudiced mind that Paul believed that in the spiritual world where we go through the gateway of death we live in a spiritual body that while It preserves personality and identity is yet fully adapted to the spiritual environment In which we then live. , Best to Suffer for Right. No. 2—Again in reading the third chapter of First Peter you must read th« entire chapter in order to proper ly understand it. Peter in this chap ter is arnonlshing those to whom he speaks, not bo afraid to suffer for the faith of .te-tus Christ, pointing out most truly that it is better to suffer for welldoing thin for evil-doing; ilien he turns front our encourage ment to the sufferings of Christ and shows how he, being innocent of anj sin, yet suffered until he was put to death in the flesh: hut this death | ■ f the flesh on the cross had no ef fect whatever upon his undying, im mortal spiritual personality. Now there are two views of the meaning o{ the exact passage ahput which you ask; one is that through this un dying, Immortal spiritual personality <'hi 1st had already preached through the spirit and the Words of Noah to the linregenerate and unrepentant of Noah's time. That It was Christ's spirit uttering itself through Noah that called men to repentance even in those faroff days. The other view is that man at deuth goes into the spiritual world on the same moral plane that he leaves tills world; If he leave* It In sin. In moral bondage, ho must throw off the bondage be fore he tan ever rise into the free J dom anil Idlas of eternal life and tha" he must throw it off through and by a stronger appeal than has ever come tti him in this world late a use it is very clear that tlm whole Bible teaches that there will never ho any time so favorable to man's repentance an l salvation as now This second \ "W is that Jesus In his spiritual per sonality while his body lay In the tomb, went and preached to these im prisoned souls, t if these two Inter pretations you choose the one that np rieats to you the most strongly and tint helps you most. Ileacen is < ondilion. .Vo. 3 -Tlierr has hern n great, deal i of aiieeulation down the renturiea aa to wlint happened to the thief on the c i osa. It Involves the whole rjues tion ns to the difference tietwaen paradise and heaven, if there is a difference, nod a* to whether there nro degrees of happiness nnd progress in heaven arid all of that; things nhollt which we cannot definitely know , at least It so seems to tile TJut there tire certain principle* we can Is- sure of: certain promises and rev elations we can guide hy that will give us a upfficlently definite answer to some of these difficult tilings It seem* very clear then when we study the whole revelation on the subject that heaven Is not only a place hut It \ Is both a place and a condition: Just is earth Is both a place and a romll i tion; some people live very close to get her In tills world both among fh# 'rich anti poor arid one lives hi pence and satisfaction of body, mind and soul while the other lives In torment. Now the teaching is very plain that ! whenever and whatever a man comes i to that great moment In hi* Ufa when \ lie says. "I love the light, t love the i truth, 1 love tiod nnd I love my fel I low men nnd 1 surrender my life to c > inti ninl love and truth and human ’ ity and to eiee^ Influence and evrrv j personality that reveal* to me or helps rue to know Ihxl and light sod love nnd humanity.'' 1 any whenever a man (lots that heaven begin* for him he s already there. “7tie King tloin of Uotl |s within you." And his heaven will grow larger and more beautiful and morew onderful and more satisfying just as by following these great impulses he increases his capacity for heaven. So I thing the thief entered into heaven with his Lord. Victory Through Anguish. No. 4. 1 do not understand that Ja Coh wrestled with a being that was in the form of a man as one man would wrestle with another with his body and bis hands; these old patriarchs seemed to have an unusually clear consciousness of the spiritual presence of God; He seemed as near to them as tlie human beings that moved about them or as the natural objects that were the products of His creative power. They talked with Him in this familiar way. Abraham. Moses. Eli jah, Enoch, all walked and talked with God as consciously apparently as though He were embodied in flesh and blood. Now Jacob had come to a great crisis in his life; all the sins and the transgressions of his past life were coming up to meet him; human wisdom could not help him; human strength could not meet this situa tion; he must have an audience with God that was clearer and more defi nite than anything that had over come to him. Out under the stars, all night long, ho struggled by those great spiritual processes of anguish and yearning that he might be more clearly conscious of God’s presence and power and love and leading in his life; that he might be forgiven and saved from the impending wrath of his brother and that he might for ever live so close to God that he would be daily saved from all that had thus far hindered and marred his life. So intense and prolonged was the spiritual anguish that it took its toll from Jacob’s physical being, but so victorious was it that Jacob came to know God in a why that quite com pletely revolutionized his life, as indi cated by his changed name. To make this great spiritual contest and vic tory more real to the mind of his age. which was more Or less in its reli gious infancy, the ancient writer em bodies the Eternal Spirit that wres tled with Jacob and that forever strives with ail men. and spoke of him as a man wrestling^ with Jacob.

By Ini vernal Sfrrlcf. Paris. MarAi 31.—Modern immoral ity and loose living is directly caused by the fact that in Europe 93 women out of every 1,000 can never marry, owing to the scarcity of men. So states Clement Vautel, French essayist. “Paris has too many samples of the delicious sex," writes Vautel, “so that naturally ordinary beauty has suffered the effects of the law of sup ply and demand is no longer suf ficient to attract men. "Sweet, delicately tinted peaches are luscious to the taste, but it is their rarity which makes their price; when they are Jhrown on the market in quantities they become common—al most .vulgar. “So it is with feminine beauty. Beauty Plenteous. “Not only are there too many wom en, but there are too many beauti ful women. And those who are not beautiful do ot hesitate to adopt all sorts of artifices to make themselves so. "Their vanity Is the undoing of their legitimately beautiful sisters, for, confronted with such an embarrass ment of choice, it is only natural that mera man doea not content him self with monogamy any more. “The tremendous competition among women In Paris for eligible men is one of the most pitiful things in the world. Girls have sacrificed modesty, all the things we used to love them for, to the eternal chase. Bait for Men. “Their short skirts, their invisible waists, their- extreme evening decoj lette, their thin stockings, their every gesture are directed at men. “The legion of honor was taken away from Victor Marguerite because he wrote ‘La Garcone,’ faithful study of the morals of modern girls Tet ] the evidence of truth in what lie ' wrote is all around us.

"Sarah Bernhardt was pleasaht and always had a smile, sociable around the theater, kind to everyone, pos sessed a most wonderful sense of humor, lovable and charitable In all senses: the pathos of her acting often sent me to the stage with tears in my eyes, said Walter Brower, the lone comedian, who makes is first appear ance at the World theater this after noon • and who appeared in Omaha with Sarah Bernhardt on her Or phetim »our in the fall of 1918. Exclusive in Dressing Kooin. At that time she was playing "Du Theatre au Champ D Honneur” (Krom the Theater to the Field of Honor), and the death scene from "Camille." The entire company felt mighty bad when the Orpheum tour was finished. She carried 15 people In her company, w-hen perhaps eight or 10 would have been sufficient, but she was very charitable. An Airedale dog and a Frenchman who did nothing but sp pervise the famous actress' meals and exercise the dog were aim part of the company. She was very exclusive around her dressing room, permitting no one in it except her maid, her man ager and critic. "She spoke not much English, but enough to get by on the several Lib erty loan drives, and entertainment of boys in camp, which were held during the tour in various cities. Sensitive on Being Carried. "Sinuee the amputation of her limb she was carried to the wing of the stage by her manager and a helper, in a sort of a boxlike litter, made espe cially for that purpose, and the very second she was to appear on the stage a cue was given for the curtain to rise ami they remained there until she had finished her acting arid car ried her back to her dressing room. She was more or less sensitive about being carried from her carriage or automobile to and from the hotel and theater, and always investigated to find a side entrance where possible. “She was a phenomenal actress, and 1 guess that’s all I can add," con cluded Mr. Mrawer. Following the completion of this Orpheum tour with Sarah Bernhardt.

Versailles Treatv Seen as 1/ German ‘Death Certificate’ Imposition of Terms and Ruhr Invasion Predicted to End in Disintegration of'Country as Central Unit and Establishment of Military Dictatorship or Reactionary “White Army Rule.” By GI'(iLIELMO FKKKKRO. Foremost Historian of Europe. Hj t Rilfrol SfnW. Paris. March 31—France and Bel gium are rather like masters today in Germany, but also a little like pris oi*rs. because no one can predict when they can leave. I believe the prediction I made two years ago v*tll be fulfilled to the let ter: namely, that to enter Germany will not be difficult, but the difficul ty .will be for France and Belgium to quit. Then, if Germany cannot rid ber *elf_ of th» Invaders either by f- rre or concessions, if France Rnd Bel gium run the risk of having to re main In Germany so much longer than they anticipated, seeing them selves deluded of the satisfactions they sought beyond the Rhine, what will occur? To F.nd in ( risis. The more I examine the s.tuation, it is this: That the «-ost of this new struggle will be assessed against Ger many, and the most probable effect of the Invasion of the Ruhr will be a profound and violent political cr.sis in Germany in which the parliamen tary republic will be overthrown. The German republic is s weak gov ernment because it was hastily im provised after tiie defeat and not pre pared for like th» French republic by on Intense and long cherished desire on the part of the nation. It was the desperate expedient of a people who. .11 ISIS would have thrown them selves into the arms of the devil rather than live any longer under a monarchy responsible for the ghastly war. Situation Seen Hopeless. The heir of defeat and of ruin, the new republic, found little . redlt, a few devoted and sincere friends, and It has been sustained up to the present by two frail forces- (he credit of a deluge of paper money and (he discredit of the monarchtal regime, defamed by the catastrophe, it might howeter. little by little, gain strength, like a delicate child, if It Could lead a tran quil.

Whither (oast Germany? Why should Germany's fate be dif ferent. unlca“ f course, the Germans are really exhausted? Now the mili tary lirtatorship that governs Kurope ' ran is* ela.-M-d into two faniftie*—the \ red and the white—the socialist, like the dictatorship of Unis and Rela Kuhn, and the nationalist, like that of Admiral H rthy n Hungary and Mussolini in Italy. To which of these i two families is it most likely that the future tentative* of Germany incline? I am inclined to !*e!ieve that in Ger many the odds are in favor of the red ! dictatorship. Red Fashion I-ikely. A* I said in my previous article, the middle and working i lasses in Ueqmany have been ruined by the war. The Increasing m sery will ren der them hostile to a white dictator sh.p, which would bring hack the | c'nss that willed the war. A white dictatorship would isolate Germany because the world would see t*-hind It the shadow of the returning mon archy.

Gibeon, manager of the city department of the Payne Investment company, upon his return from,a trip to Kansas City and Chicago. lie reijorts that the prices for va cant lots close in. in those cities, ar« considerably above prices in Omaha. One factor which is bound to con tribute to Ornaha's growth, in Mr. Gibson's opinion, is the airplane serv ice. v "It will be only a short time until airplanes will carry passengers from New York to San Francisco, and there will be only one stop, Omaha,” he said. "Omaha is bound to have the largest airplane lan<Ung station in the United States. Taking the matter as a whole, the general outlook never was better in Omaha."
