ment of “Iron Fist”

Paris, March 28.—Louis Loucheur,
most fervent exponent of the plan to
cancel lnter-allled debts, and probab
ly the richest of the French Indus
trial leaders, Is now a member of the
French cabinet.
Yielding to strong business Influ
ences, Premier Poincare this after
noon appointed M. Loucheur as min
ister of commerce and communica
tions.
As completed today, the new cabi

as a guarantee until Germany pays
in full.

Poincare's “Iron fist" foreign policy.
Meanwhile, Jacques Bainville, In

French cabinet is deemed absolutely
necessary because Inside Information

committee of experts. It Is not be
lieved that France can accept the
fundamental clauses of the report.

Mayor J. C. (Jim) Dahlman is known
from coast to coast. Now serving his
fifth term as chief executive of the
Gate City of the West, he is the one
who extends the welcome-to-our-city
hand to thousands of convention at
tendants.
He was schooled in the university
of the frontier, in the days when there
was not much law written in the
books and during a period when men
learned to shoot as they prayed.
Jim Dahlman has always been a
booster for the city that has honored
him five times with election to its
highest public office. Born on a ranch
In DeWltt county, Texas, December
IB, 1856, he came to Nebraska in
1878. The first substantial recogni
tion of his ability was an appoint
ment as cattle branding inspector at
Valentine, Neb., then the terminus of
the Elkhorn railroad. He was elected
sheriff three times of Dawes county
and mayor of Chadron twice. In
1899 he heard the knock of opportun
ity bidding him to locate in Omaha.
During his residence of 25 years in
Omaha, Mayor Dahlman has been
busy in local, state and national poli
ties. He served on the democratic
national committee for eight years,
was chairman of the democratic state
central committee four years and was
delegate to the democratic national
convention at Chicago in 1892, and
also in Chicago in 1896, when W. J.
Bryan was nominated for president
the first time.
During 1906 he was elected the first
time as mayor of Omaha. He served
four successive terms as mayor, was
out three years, and was elected
again three years ago. During the
period he was out of the city hall he
was United States marshal for this
district.
Mayor Dahlman Is now serving as
chairman of the board of directors of
the Metropolitan Utilities district.
It may be said of Jim Dahlman that
in 1895 he was appointed delegate
by Governor Silas A. Holcomb to the
Transmississippi congress at Omaha,
and was one of a committee of five
appointed by the chairman, recom
mending that an exposition be held,
and he arranged with IV. J. Bryan to
lead the fight which resulted In Oma
ha being selected as the city for the
Transmissippi exposition, which was
successfully held in this city during
1898. _

“Good News About God”
Liberal l nristams reel mar mey nave exceed
ingly good news to proclaim concerning God.
The God of the Plan of Salvation does not sat
isfy man’s conscience; our sense of right and
justice protests against that idea of God.
Must we hold that God approves men according
to their beliefs and not according to their moral
worthiness?
Are the children of today being taught a worthy
thought of God? Have you inward fears and con
flicts because of your early instruction as to reli
gion and God?
Which has the greater value for human life—
J the God of theology and the creeds or the God
* of Jesus?
These propositions and questions will be consid
ered in the sermon Rev. Ralph E. Bailey will
present at the hirst Unitarian unurcn, otia narney ei., ounuay,
March 30, at 11:00 a. m.
Thia sermon will be the third of a series of discussions of the
