Strasbourg, Ful mar anil the entire Al.\u-e district will be the scene of the first open conflict between church and state in a strike which hut been steadily becoming more and more acute in recent weeks. The positions which the religious and governmental authorities have taken after mature reflection are well rle fined and unless one side or the other recedes trouble is %p\ tain to occur Monday when the school bells ring. Monsignor Kuch, bishop of Stras bourg hat issued a proclamation di recting school children to'refrain from attending school Monday in Stras bourg and Colmar. Prefect Barr omee, acting under governmental instruc tions has sent a circular to all the mayors of his department to enforce the law and prosecute the parents of those parents of those children whd are not present in the schools as usual. Jail Terms Threatened. In the circular, the prefect savs: “I Invite you to draw the attention of parents to the illegal character of *' the action demanded of them, which, • should they obey exposes them to all the consequences set forth by the law (jIf April 18, 1871.** 'Phis law provides for a fine and a jail sentence for parents keeping children from school. While “open warfare,” appears to • be confined for the time being to » Alsace, repercussions of the cardinals’ 1 manifesto issued March 12, on the j “so-called nondemoninational laws and « the measures to be taken to combat J them,” are still being heard in the senate and chamber. One radical • group of the chamber yesterday • adopted a resolution declaring that j this manifesto of the cardinals and \ bishops was “an appeal to insur j icctlon against law and an appeal to > civil war.” The radicals called upon all repub f lira ns to take up the challenge. Feeling Kilns High. . Whether the strike develops or not. \ feeling runs high among the Catholic* • in the recovered provinces and the ; smallest incident on Monday is likely i to set fire to a powder magazine. Governmental and anti governmen • tal newspapers are each attempting . to throw responsibility for an open ! ’break upon the other. The Paris Solr, a staunch Herriot ’ tug an says: j “The cardinals and archbishops dec la rat ion of war only preceded open hostilities in Alsace by a few hour?.” He ldberte, one of the most bitter opposition organs, says: "The Herriot government's attempts to .strangle liberty and enslave Catho J lies has led to the inevitable oonelu • sion, open war, which the government v is seeking.*” ; HOUSEBOAT SINKS j IN CRASH; 8 ESCAPE n» i mu'rsHi sen ii-e, j Chicago, March 14.- Fight persona S . narrowly escaped death in an un usual accident here today.

Carelessness is responsible for most crime, declares Inspector of Police Jack Pszanovvski , Nine out of 10 rbbberies which are reported to police could easily have been averted if the persons were care ful, said Pszanovvski. After a complete check of the rob beries reported to Omaha police in the last year, Pszanovvski lias decided that if Omaha ns will follow bis ad vice given in 30 ways to cheat crooks, Omaha will have less rub ifies. The 30 wavs given by Pszanovvski to cheat crooks are: DON'T, when you leave home, ad vertise the fact by pulling down the window shades or by leav ing a note in the letter box saying that you will be back at such and such a time, or requesting that goods be delfvered to the janitor. Sneak thieves profit by such advice. DON'T' leave your key over the door or under the mat. DON'T leave you home In total darkness when you leave at night. Thieves do not like to take a chance and enter a home where a light Is burning. DON’T neglect to try your door when you go out, to see if it is really locked. Snap locks do not al ways w'ork properly. DON’T fail to have window fasten ers of an Improved type put on win dows. Those that, can be opened by a table knife are useless. DON’T fail to have your safe, cash register and valuable merchandise ex posed to the plain view of the police man on post: and be sure to have your store partially lighted gu that the po ^ —v— ' liceman may observe and protect your properly at night. DON T think your money or vain a hies are safe when hidden behind picture frames, under rugs, under dresser scarfs, in bric-a-brac or mat ;resses. These are the first places a crook will look for them. DON’T leave your cash tegister locked at night. Kernove the money and leave the drawer open. Many valuable cash registers have been broken open and destroyed by thieves in search of money. DON’T inform venders, such as ice men, delivery boys, peddlers, etc., that you will not he home between certain hours, as they at times give such in formatjon to thieves. DON'T fail to notify the station bonne when you close your home for the summer, or to go away on a visit. DON'T get excited if you have a reason to believe that an attempt si burglary is being made. Don't light the lights, but quietly telephone the police. lKi.N'T admit persons who repre sent themselves to be gas inspectors, delivery boys, canvassers. agents, etc., without .seeing their credentials. If in doubt, telephone their employer before admitting them. DON'T give strangers information regarding the absence of your neigh bors. DON'T receive and pay for <\ O. I>. packages until you hav** examined their contents and are satisfied that tli** goods have tieen ordered by you. DON’T leave your rings in the wash room, IXjN'T fail to count your change. DON’T listen to get rich schemes. Von may l»e talking to a "confidence man." DON'T boy an automobile from a stranger without first finding out if t Is rightfully his. It may be a stolen :a r. DON'T leave your automobile unat ended unless it is necessary, then lock lhe power and transmission. When parked on the street at night select a well lighted spot. DON'T employ anyone until you Have investigated his character and verified references. DON'T be careless when you get nto a crowd. Keep your coat button »d and an eye on your pocket. DON'T carry your money or valua Ides in your hip pocket or in pockets rif your outer garments. Such pockets see. the most accessible to the pick; pocket. DON'T regard jostling or pushing in a crowd as accidental. Be suspi cious of persons who jostle you. DON'T wear valuable jewelry when shopping. DON'T fall to have your safe, con taining valuables, locked dining bus! ness hours to prevent a possible "bold up." DON'T open the safe In your place of business for any purpose while there are strangers present- Make e practice of closing the outer door of your premises at the < lose of business day before putting valuables into your safe. DON'T neglect to notify ybttr local police station if you have a large payroll, giving the time and route when it will he in transit. DON’T obtain your payroll from a bank always at the same time. Ir regularity prevents crooks from plan ning. DON'T carry your handbag suspen ded by a snap from your wrist. Hold it tightly in your hand. This prevents thieves from opening ttie bag or pock etbook and extracting your money or valuables from it. f-% Burgess Bedtime Stories v/ By THORNTON W.

He knew' by John ny’a looks that Johnny was fighting mad, and Reddy had no desire to feei those sharp teeth that Johnny was showing. "Whew!” exclaimed Reddv, as lie watched Johnny out of sight.

By The \%'*o<,intr<l l*r ***«, Geneva, March 14.—Closing the most important meeting in its history with what Is generally admitted to be a constructive move of great sig nlficance for future harmony in Europe, the league of nations coun •II adjourned tonight after expressing i slncre wish to see Germany asso ciated in its labors by ‘joining the league and thus play in the organ iza lion of peace a part corresponding to Germany’s position in the world. If the council was unable to ap prove Germany s request for an ex reptional place In connection with the obligations impoFed by the cove nant it did, by voicing the above sentiment, pay her a great honor, for no country has ever been bid to take a scat in the league and a place around the council table. Everybody agrees that Germany can have a permanent seat, in the council. Today's action is deemed signlfi cant because it represents the first word addressed to Germany by the allies on a. basis of perfect equality. Germans here following the council proceedings are openly pleased at the phraseology of the letter which the council has sent to the Berlin gov ernment. Pride Not Sacrificed. Though the document fails to share Berlin's views that because of her enfeebled military conditions she is exempt from the sanctions duly fixed by the covenant, the hope was ex pressed tonight that the conciliatory tone of the note will enable Germany to find a road leading to the league which does not involve sacrifice eith er of her national pride or of what she conceives to he her national in terests. The next act in the international play, the desired climax which is the discovery of a. solution to the great problem of security, will be present ed at Paris, for thither many atatee men are bound tomorrow' to confer with Premier Herriot on the problem of a pact of guarantees. “Ideals Too Advanced.” Despite the heavy blow delivered to the cause of disarmament by this week's action in the matter of the protocol, the statesmen apparently departed from Geneva with fresh courage to attack tlie huge problem of security. Several members of the council said tonight that^ the real reason why the protocol is lost, so far as its present form is concerned, is that, apart from defects due to hasty preparation, it embodies ideals too advanced for‘the present era. OMAHA PUBLICISTS GET REALTY PLUM The advertising and publicity firm of Bo'/eil and Jacobs of Ornreha were < declared winner* at Chicago Saturday in the competition to decide which agency was to plan and prepare an advertising campaign for the National Association of Beal Estate Board*.

While the bill to repeal the ’ word of mouth'' law is now officially dead as far as the legislature is concerned, a group of Omaha ns have decided to test the constitutlonality of the ex Istlng law.

The resolution was ordered to lie on the table. The resolution says that the senate is prepared to bear "concrete pro posals which the executive may deem it proper at this time to formulate, looking to Hie conclusion of binding International agreements between all Interested American, European and Asiatic powers, f*>r the limitation of preparations for warfare, for the pro hibition of the use of any and all measures of warfare and for the ef fectuation of the substantia! recoin* mendationa of the international com mission on the codification of the rules of warfare.” Isle of Pines Pact Enhances Prestige Son t li American Kepuhlics Pleased by Gesture on'Part of l Inited States. I_—_ By The Aft«oHnfei| V*re««. Buenos Aires, March 16.— Ratifica tion by the United State* senate of the Isle of Pines treaty is the sub ject of editorial comment by the lead ing newspaper* here. They agree that the surrender of the island to Uuba has enhanced the prestige of the United States with Latin-Ameriea and contributed much toward allay ing “the suspicions with which the policy of the United States in the Caribbean was regarded by some I^at in-American countries.” Under the title of “an historical fortnight.” La Xacion in an editorial notes that, ratification of the Isle of Pines treaty, the Brazil-Colombia Peru boundary settlement and the Tacna ! Arica award all occurred within two weeks. "It would he difficult,” says this newspaper, “to record days more suspicious fur justice and the peace of America since the days when in dependence was won.” The “surrender” of the Isle of Pines, it believes, is of greater sig nificance than the other two events, since it “definitely and effectively means recognition of the rights of t he w eak “Confidence in our great sister re public.” the newspaper continues, “therefore is well merited and. con stitutes a foundation for continental securitv.
