Today And Xou', Firpo. The Franc. Bonus. Politics. The Bareback King. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ *TB fight no more,” says Firpo, Riant of the pampas, “after this one fight with Reich.” The Argentine giant means to live his own life and leave the at mosphere of the prize ring, which does not please him. He even re <uses the possibility of making n*lf -.Won by one more fight in the ■United States. Damon Runyon, from whom the sport world has no secrets, says Firpo has met “a worse knockout than Dempsey’s.” A lady from Paris, who acts, wants Firpo to go to France. Who was it betrayed the capitol? —A woman! ■ Who lost Mark Antony the world?—A woman! Who was the cause of a long 10 years’ war, and laid at last old Troy in ashes?—A woman! And now it’s Firpo’s turn. The French franc, worth a little more than 3 cents the other day, went above 5 cents yesterday. That’s excellent news, also. Shorts have been badly squeezed and have lost many millions. They know now, what has often been said here, that it is dangerous to sell France or its money short. The house of representatives passed the bonus bill yesterday by 366 votes against 64, big enough to pass the bill over the president’s veto in case he should feel bound to veto it. That’s one good thing accomplished. The senate will be heard from next. -• i North Dakota had a statewide primary yesterday to discover presi dential preferences. McAdoo had the democratic fight to himself. Coolidge and Hiram Johnson Were alone on the republican ballot. At the last minute a “sticker” cam paign was started for Senator La Follette. That will prevent a full record of La Follette’s strength. Hiram Johnson is expected to win by those that understand sentiment in North Dakota. ... A maft old too soon, only 60, incurable soon to die, although doesn’t know it, lies in the hospital. “This shook the hand of the king of Greece,” he says, raising his right hand. "They know me in the newspaper offices.” The man is Billy Showles, once champion bareback rider in the world, and king of Barnum’s cir cus. Long years ago he had to give up that work. Soon he will be dead at an age when real work should begin. Too violent exercise does not pay. Government statistics show that there are 1,500,000 more married women working for a living than there were 30 years ago. “Many work in very low paid, undesirable positions because of double demand on their time.” They are more ir regular. They have to look \ after husband and children and work as well. Not much of a com pliment to 1,500,000 proud Ameri can husbands. (Copyright, llil ) U.S. Road Aid Boosts Traffic Federal highway aid has Increased automobile traffic on main highways tor the state, according to Roy Cochran, state engineer. In address before the American Association of Engineers, Tuesday night. “The Increase has been 1,200 per cent In the past 10 years," he said. Thirty-six contracts now awarded and 6* more to be let shortly will bring Nebraska up to other states In good roads. The speaker commended the sys tem of states numbering continuous roads with the same number In each state. * Chemists to Go to Spring Meet Delegation of Nebraska chemists will attend thea prlng meeting of the American Chemical society at Wash ington, D. C-, April 21 to 21. The delegation will Include mem bers of the state and local sections of the society. S. B. Arenson of Lin coln and R. N. Perkins of Omaha are making arrangements for the Nebras ka representation. Drainage Ditch Bids Rejected Three bids for excavation of the Fensler drainage ditch were rejected at a Joint meeting of the boards of county supervisors of Harrison and j Pottawattamie counties held In Coun cil Bluffs this morning.

By Anwlalfd PrfM. Washington. March 19.—With both the tax reduction end eoldier bonue bills In the hands of the senate today an early decision is expocted on a pro gram for their consideration. The senate finance committee has been considering the revenue bill for two weeks, and John Thomas Taylor of the national legislative committee of the American Legion, announced to day he would ask for immediate dis position of the bonus bill, which it also must pass upon. The new bonus bill providing for paid-up 20-year endowment life in surance policies and cash payments to veterans not entitled to more than $00 in adjusted compensation, passed the house j'esterday The old bill provided also for op tions of vocational training or farm and home nid, with cash payment and deferred payment certificate provisions corresponding to the pro posals embodied In the new measure. The change in the bonus is expect ed to extend consideration of it In the senate since many members are pledged, acording to the American Legion, to support of the scheme worked out in the old bill. ! Decay of Present Civilization Feared by John Haynes Holmes "Civilization Is going to piece*. The world le dying little by little. "A* we had to feed starving Rus sia two years ago, a* we are being called upon to feed starving Ger many today, so we shall be asked to feed starving France three years from today if the world keeps on Its pres ent course. "The spirit of political autocracy la more present In America today than It has been at any previous time "The treaty of Versailles will be known to history as 'the great be trayal.’ "Germany was responsible for the war. but only as the outstanding mem ber of a group. Our whole social sys tem Is wrong and is responsible. What is called capitalism at home Is Im perialism abroad; what Is called com petition in the economic phase is war in the military phase. “War doesn't do the Job. The weapon always comes back and enters Into the heart of him who threw it." These are a few of the key phrases from the Jeremiad delivered by Dr. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community church in New York city, In an address entitled "Five Years After the War,” delivered at the First Unitarian church Tuesday night. “The one outstanding event of the present hour,” said Dr. Holmes In brief, "Is the destruction of the Ger man government and people. To most this will bring only satisfaction. It la the consequence* which w# en deavored to bring about during the war, and which was only partly achieved in 1918. “To me it seems Infinitely terrify ing. speaking as a person not Inter ested in the welfare of any one na tion anywhere, but profoundly inter ested in the welfare of all nation* everywhere. The impending destruc tion of the German people la an un mitigated and almost Incredible ca tastrophe." Dr. Holmes said that the condition of Germany under the treaty of Ver sailles. which he described as "the great betrayal," ^could be compared only to that of the Israelites In Egypt, when they were required to make bricks without straw, or to that of the Carthaginians when the city was be ing destroyed by Rome. “If Germany were the exclusive author of the militarism which caused the war, these things would cease to be when Germany was destroyed. Ger many has been destroyed as a political and economic factor. Look at Europe There are 1,200,000 more men under arms now than in 1914. French mili tarism, which has replaced that of Germany, Is a little more terrible, a little more efficient, than that of Ger many ever was. The German politi cal autocracy is gone. But In a dozen places where there used to be demoo racy, autocracy now reigns. Italy, Poland, Hungary, Spain and Jugo slavia all have political autocracies. Bossie s Trouble Has Just Begun, Warns Wife No. 1 “Maybellc McKean Started It; I’ll Finish Job,” Declares Mother of Ex-City Clerk’s Two Children. Claude F.

"My divorce from Bossie, which was granted in Denver in October. 1910, is not legal. It was obtained by collusion into which I was cajoled. I did not want a divorce from him. I have never remarried for the reason that I expected some day to take action to have the divorce set aside. Now the time haij come. "I don’t want him back to live with me, but I Intend to protect my two children. They are entitled to a share of their father's property, even if they haven't had his support since they were very young.” Second Marriage Illegal? The two children are Crawford A. Bossie, who lives with his mother, and Mrs. Claudia Lois Ernest of Denver. According to the Denver Mrs. Bossir the marriage of B«aa|a to Maybelle McKean, a New Tork chorus girl, in Omaha, In September. 1911, was Illegal. Mrs. Boalaa No. 1 charges that her preliminary divorce decree from Bosnia was granted in Denver in October. 1910, and that the Absolute decree was not effective until a year and a day later. Thus, she aserts. Bossle was not free from hla marital bonds In Denver when he mar ried the second woman.

"She want ed to keep BosSie from going to Italy with the Wamsley woman." Mrs. Bosaie No. 1 said, "for the feared the Wamsley woman would get the money aw ay from BoBsle." "Now that the McKean woman has started It." the Denver Mrs. Boasie continued. “I will finish up the job and see that neither one of them gets any of the money, if it is pos sible to do so. I have been fighting for my children for 16 years, and I am not going to quit now."
