To Hold Nation Together Paris, Sept. 27.—Grave fears are entertained here in high circles that Germany may he forced to declare war against France and Belgium In sheer desperation, in order to hold the reich together, and prevent separa tist movements in Bavaria, the Rhine land, Schleswig and elsewhere from developing. This fear is revealed in an editorial in tonight’s semi-official Temps, which says: ,"In its proclamation the Germnn government warns that if the allies do not agree to peace as Germany con ceives it, they will bring about in evitable consequences which follow the dislocation of relations between peoples. “What else can this mean but rup ture, or war? "It can be explained by viewing the actual situation In Germany. Stresemann fears that he will be un able, soon, to pay the army of func tlonaires. How then will he be able to maintain order except by directing the wrath of the people against the nllies and declaring a sort of holy -k*r?’’ "We have taken all measures in case there are disorders,’’ says the Intransigeant. "Although there now seems to be a ceasing of passive resistance, that does not mean that Germany Is ready to give in to the allies,” says Liberte. Meanwhile, a new worry hns arisen in the Ruhr, as to how the Ruhr workers are to be paid when they re turn to work, now that the govern ment cannot keep up the industrial subsidies. Experts agree that France and Belgium may be called on to pay billions in salaries for months, ne cessitating new loans. Arbor Lodge Is Given State by Founder s Son Special Dispatch to The Omaha Be*. Nebraaka City. Neb.. Sept. 27 —Joy Morton, son of the founder of Arbor ■Lodge, in presenting his gift to the state, reviewed his father's life In Nebraska and activities, after which he said; "In these grounds the fertile soil has produced the magnificent trees which surround us—none of them over 60 years old. Thirty-two years ago the pine grove near by was set ■wP—tiny trees—smaller than a potted geranium. The catalpas on either side of the driveway were sent by Governor Robert Furnas to my father on his 50th birthday—41 years ago— ns saplings. What has been done here in arborculture can be done any where in the state, and some day our farmers will realize, as do the farmers of Kurope. that for rough, broken grounds, hillsides and creek banks, trees are a profitable crop. "Arbor Lodge is given, not as land and chattels, but as an achievement. The sturdy and beautiful trees that surround us here now are all Ne braskans. They should point the way to other homes not yet begun, and if this place be maintained by the state as it has been cared for during the last quarter of a century the republican and democratic admin istrations which began and ended this transaction, and the legislature which made it possible, will have deserved well of their fellow citizens. In the library of the home Is the abstract of title to the ground we stand on, symbolized in portraits. First, the buffalo; next, the Indian; then Napoleon stands for the claims of France—he sold an empire destined to be greater and richer than France, to Uncle Sam, the fourth owner; fath er’s portrait completes the group. Now it passes to the state of Ne braska forever, with the earnest hope that the work begun may be con tinued. that new varieties of tree and ^plants adapted to this climate may studied and developed here and that its greatest usefulness has but lust commenced. "The spirit of Arbor Lodge Is faith, and work, and self-reliance. Faith without work is a dead thing. The most fertile soils, the greatest of na ture's bounties, are useless unless de veloped by Intelligent effort. The solution of most of the -world's troubles can be found only In self reliance and hard work. Prosperity by legislation will no more succeed today than it did 65 years ago. "The family of Arbor I.odge has passed through all kinds of 'hard times’ only a few of which I have referred to herein. Its experience has been that of most of the qld settler families—without whose faith, work and self-reliance this state could nev er have developed. The lot of th* farmer is not an easy one, but I (Irmly believe that a mpch larger per centage of those who have farmed the land of this state have achieved suc <csn than Is the case In general busi ness In the United States, besides lead ing lives fuller of those blessings which come from healthy avocations and a normal life. "That Arbor Lodge may be an In spiration to all Nebraskans for gen erations to come is my earnest wish." More Than 15,000 Attend Cowhoy Show at Norfolk Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

By A. K. DONOVAN, Stuff Correspondent of The Omaha Bee. Nebraska City, Neb., Sept. 27.— Arbor Lodge is now owned by the citizens of Nebraska. Standing on the north portico of the spacious Morton mansion, Joy Morton of Chicago formally presented the lodge to the state. It was accept ed by Governor Bryan. A natural amphitheater provided seats for the thousands who congregated to attend the ceremony. Four amplifiers were used to carry the message of the speakers to the utmost limits of the crowd. , The grandeaur of this beauty spot of Nebraska, made all the more sol emn by theeulogles of J. Sterling Morton, founder- of the now almost nationally-recognized Arbor day, and whose foresight provided this park which was transferred by his oldeBt son. It was more than transfer day to Nebraska City. Sons and daughters who have wandered from the scenes of their childhood made the occasion a homecoming. It was. "Hello. Frank; How are you. Bill; Where did you come from, Tom," and similar expressions on every corner of the city. Omaha was the outstanding feature of the day's activities. Extra coaches were provided on the Missouri Pa cific for the homecomers, who were accompanied by the Tangier Shrine band. Following this train was a special train carrying members of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce wearing white hats with the Ak-Sar Ben colors om the bands. The Shrine band led the history pageant parade. It was followed by the Omaha homecomers and the Chamber of Commerce. The Platts mouth band led a division of floats showing the various phases of prog ress of transportation, music, horti culture, food products and educa tion. A thlr<J division, led by a fife and drum corps from I.lncoln, contained soldiers from the civil, Mexican, In dian, Spanlsh-Amerlcan and world wars In the uniforms of their day. “Winning of the West" was vividly described on floats and by footmen, from the early ox team to the most modern automobile travelers. Every detail was perfect to the Importation of real Indians. Other titles worked out in this section from the early days to the present, were light buildings, farm Implements, fair women In cos tumes of the various periods and the fire department. The fourth section, led by the Ne braska City band and the Peru band, contained decorated floats. The Sev enteenth infantry from Fort Crook .made up a section of the parade, head ed by its own band. X light rain which fell in the morn ing failed to delay the festivities, but it is estimated the attendance was cut at least 40 per cent by the weath er. Nebraska City was taxed to ca pacity to care for the crowd and of ficers in charge of the celebration were satisfied to have the attendance reduced, although sorry that all could not have been accommodated. _^_________ Morton Enthralled by Vision, Bryan Says Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Nebraska City. Sept. 27.—"J. Ster ling Morton, when he came to Ne braska, looked toward the sunset and caught the vision of the futue, when that almost endless stretch of prairie would Ire changed from a treeless plain into a beautiful and varied land scape, and he lived to see the vision in a large measure realized,” said Oovernor Chas. W. Bryan this after noon at Nebraska City In accepting, as chief executive and chairman of the state park board. Arbor Lodge, the home of the late J. Sterling Mor ton. which has been presented to the state by his son. Joy Morton. Governor Bryan briefly outline^ the history of Mr. Morton since his ar rival In Nebraska In 1855, and gave conclusive proof of the authenticity of Mr. Morton's claim ns the author of Arbor day. "Afterwards, Governor Bryan said, "the legislature of 1885 changed the date from April 10 and set apart April 22. Mr. Morton’s birthday, as Arbor day and made It a legal holi day.” Governor Bryan then announced the decision of thp state park board "to use the mansion house for state museum purpose* and for the custody of historical record* and such prop erty of the state historical society as may be authorized by the state park board." The speaker then alluded to a visit once paid to the mansion by former President Cleveland and of an Indian conference held under It* roof at which the red man signed away his rights to the land* of Nebraska. Joy Morton. Morton Was State’s “Greatest Citizen”—Kroh Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Nebraska City, Neb., Sept. 27.— "J. Sterling Morton stands out prom inently aa Nebraska’s greatest citi zen, for hla broad vision, sound eco nomlo judgment, his ability and brilliancy as a newspaper man and writer, and his leadership In politic1! —but he has been acca'imed one of the world's great men because he. and he alone, was responsible for the establishment of Arbor day," said J S. Kroh of Ogallala, president of the Nebraska Press association, in his address this afternoon at serv ices marking the gift of Arbor Lodge to the state. "When we recall the many millions of trees growing in this and every other state and In many other coun J. S. Kroh. tries of the world under the Influence of his organization ot Arbor day, we will acknowledge this his crowning achievement. "J. Sterling Morton's biography can not be encased within the covers of a book, but is a living vital thing, and like the shot heard round the world. Arbor day, with Its educating influ ence, will penetrate to every corner of the globe where man's wisdom and foresight will realize that the happl ness and welfare of posterity can only be maintained through systematic forestration. “ 'For to plant a tree is to offer to Nature and to Nature's God an invo cation In which Faith is made incar nate by the act itself. That this tree may grow—that It may be a thing of beauty and use forever. Is uttered by the heart, the head that confides, and the hand that commits It to the earth. It is answered by all the in visible forces that, in their viewless strength, convene from the laboratory of God, and concentrate ujton rootlet and fiber, the silent and vitalizing chemistry of earth and sky. to mould into sturdiness and loveliness the trunk and the foliage of the sylvan glory.’ ”—Morton. _ Extradition Is Asked for Alleged Swindler Lincoln.

Wells WILL WRITE AN IMPORTANT WEEKLY ARTICLE for The Sunday Bee on vital matters of universal interest—sometimes political, sometimes philosophical;• always human; often of immediate news value— AND SENT BY CABLE This is one of the most exceptional series any news paper ever has been able to offer its readers. BEGINNING SUNDAY, SEPT. 30 ORDER NOW Ward Will Know Fate on Birthday Charge to Jury Trying Weal thy Baker for Slaying Marine Will Be Read Today. State Scores Defendant White Plains. N. Y., Sept. 27.—To morrow Is the 32d birthday of Walter S. Ward, and the young millionaire baker probably will spend the morn ing listening to the charge to the jury that is trying him for the mur der of Clarence Peters, the penniless ex-marine who was killed May 16. 1922. Justice Wagner of the supreme court will read the charge which means life or death to Ward, and by nightfall It is believed that Ward will either be under sentence of death in the electric chair, on his way to a long term in prison, or « tree man, back home with his wife and two email children. The summing up of the state to day was a dramatic event in which Attorney General Carl Sherman, him self but slightly older than Ward, thundered malediction upon the young millionaire who has "slain an unarmed man, a cowardly murderer." “Life for a Life." The packed courtroom thrilled t» the drama of the state’s demand for a life for a life, and the Jury sat as though frozen while the attorney gen oral tore at the defense, or rather lack of defense, on the part of the accused man, or acted in tragic silence, with his deputy. Thomas O’Neill, the killing of Peters a* claimed by the state. Sherman pivoted the whole case of the state on the declaration that the revolver, which Ward claimed had been used by Peters to fire at him before he killed the marine, was in reality the property of Ward, having bean given to Ward by Police Chief Cody on Christmas, 1921. "If this is not the gun that Chief Cody gave Ward.” cried the attor ney general, his long slim fingers .passing back and forth over the weapon held over the rampart of the Jury box, “then why did the defense not produce that gun? "Walter Ward lied. He planted his gun. Peters wag unarmed. Ward shot him down without warning. "Again, I remind you. this case Is undefended. He said he wanted a trial. We gave It to him. Why does he still fear the truth, as he has al ways feared it? First Degree Sought. "I am not here because of a situa tion I created. When I examined the evidence against the defendant. I de termined Walter Ward should be brought to trial on that evidence, and I recommended that. "Gentlemen. I can ask for nothing save a verdict of murder in the first degree. "I do not believe Wnrd.an innocent man. Where would an innocent man head his car within an hour after the shooting—yes, sooner? To the nearest authority in law. "Was it guilt or innocence that kept Ward from coming forward un til four days after the crime? What finally forced him in? Why, the identification of his victim. Every paper was removed from Peters’ body. Why. if he had not been identified by the authorities, do you doublt this man. Ward, would have let him go to his grave unknown, unidenti fied. Just an inconsequential person he, Walter Ward, had found it neces sary to shoot through the heart and remove from his path?” The attorney general spoke lor three hours and a half, interrupted now and then by violent objections from the defense counsel, but Justice Wagner Invariably ruled that the matter of evidence and facts rested wholly wit'll the Jury and Its recol lection of the testimony and the bear Ing of various Incidents upon the main fact, the killing of Peters In closing, Mr. Sherman said: "If Ward's father, George S. Ward, was conducting an Investigation of the alleged blackmail plot, and if that Investigation was helpful to his son. whufrn't George 8. Ward here?"
