Today Pershing and Gratitude. You've Heard From Maine. Gay Klanhlavers. Fingers Crossed. By ARTHUR BRISBANE _ _—-—' Distinguished gentlemen gave a dinner to General Pershing in New York last night. It was a nice din ner, General Pershing’s share must have cost 60 cents in the market and $9 delivered on the table. As a dinner it was a success. But ns a reward for a general that com manded 3,000,000 American sol diers in a big war, after serving faithfully for many years before that, it was not much. General Pershing is now retired on a salary big enough to get him a small flat in a cheap quarter. The English do it differently. The imperial government made their General .Haig an earl, and gave him a million dollars. Of course, this country isn’t rich enough to afford anything like that, but it might do something. You get the news from Maine with a bang. You were told here yesterday that the vote for senator forecasts the vote for president. The republican senator won by more than 60,000, according to the latest reports. Four years ago, on September 13, you read in your morning paper: “Republicans sweep Maine by 64,000. The largest previous plur ality was about 48,000, given to the republican gubernatorial nominee in 1896.’’ you also read four years ago the statement by Senator Harding, then running as Coolidge is run ning today, that the result in Maine iqade republican victory certain. It turned out that Harding was even more right than he thought he was. He won with 7,000,000 vdtes to spare. The Ku Klux Klan will probably hold cheerful “klonkaves" to cele brate the Maine election. The democrat so bady beaten there, for governor of Maine, is Pattangall, the stout gentleman who got up in the democratic convention and de nounced the klan, calling it by nafne most plainly, after the demo cratic platform had refused to db! so. _ Thomas A. Edison comes out for Coolidge. He says he will vote for him on account of his “hard sense.” Edison, who isn’t young, has im portant things to finish. He be lieves that Coolidge’s election will allow things to run along smoothly, and keep business going. Edison says, “Coolidge was born in an economic environment, and economics and hard sense were b{>rp in him.” ■ In New York last night Tam many Hall held 87 meetings “to ad vance the candidacy of John W. Davis.” It would be unfair to Mr. Davis not to let him know that Tammany statesmen called those meetings with their fingers crossed. A man running for office wants real news. The real news from Tam many is that there will be a ter rifically big vote for La Follette. Coolidge’s friends tell him to aim his fighting hereafter at La Follette and forget about Mr. Davis. When you read how Jacques Coeur lent the French lung, Charles VII, money to build his fleet, or read of the wide transac tions of the Medici family 500 years ago, you get an early glimpse of the rising power of money. But that fades away in our day when a casual little fire from Paris says that J. Pierpont Morgan has offered to renew the loan of $100, 000,000 to the Bank of France. One hundred million dollars is just one little battalion in the dollar army of the modern American finaqgier. That sum would have beeen enough to buy Jacques Coeur and all the Medici. You have always known about “an old fool.” Thousands of old fools are busy proving how foolish they can be. The strange thing is that a young female can sometimes make an extraordinary fool of her self about an old fool. News comes from Geneva that the beautiful young Hungarian Countess Gabriella Szechenyi shot herself to death because a 61-year otd Austrian archduke named Eu gene insisted on marrying a some body else, a middle-aged widow, with plenty of money. That is a wise thing for a duke to do in these days. But the young countess cpuldn’t understand it. (Copyright, 1124.) >V'» Stricken in Dentist* g Chair.

Makes the Deaf Hear i i - Omaha Investors Clear Fortunes in German Bonds One Makes $33,000 as Market Suddenly Strengthens; At tributed to Dawes Plan. Several small fortunes have been made almost over night by Omahans who Invested In German war bonds prior to the settling of the repara tions question, according to foreign exchange experts of Omaha banks. E. M. Leflang of Omaha, who re cently returned from Europe, Is one of those benefited by the sudden and startling strength of the market on German bonds. At least three other Omahans whose Investments were only a few American dollars are said to have made profits, one as high as $33,000. As a result of this bullish tendency foreign exchange depart ments of Omaha banks report a lively business. Not so long ago German war loan " ' _ ~ ~ - 5 per cent bonds could b# purchased at is per million marks. They are now quoted at $2,900 per million marks. Hence the - Investor of $3 cleared $2,897. German municipal bonds also have Jumped from ns low as $5 per million marks to $100 per million, and the market Is a brisk one, bank ers report. The foreign exchange expert of one downtown bank declared that not more than five Omahans owned bonds which had advanced In value so greatly. He attributes the advance to the adoption of the Dawes plan, and to the fact that the German government Is seeking to buy the bonds back with gold at, according to Mr. Do fiang, about IB per cent of their value. "The courts of Germany held that where bonds were seebred by first mortgages they could not be can celed or paid off with the worthless mark," Mr. Leflang explained. "Date In 1918 I bought bonds worth 100,000 marks. I thought they were prac tically worthless until X was In Copen hagen this summer, when I was of fered $3,600 for them.” Still Found Near Emerson.
