    BRITISH AND FRENCH
PRESSON WILSON
Manchester Guardian Calls the
Speech "Splendid Policy
Nobly Expressed."
PARIS
PAPERS
s
SKEPTICAL
London, Jan. 23. The Mancheslrr
Guardian, commenting on President
Wilson's ipeech to the senate, calls it
"a splendid policy, nobly expressed."
The Guardian says:
"The speech in form was addressed
to the senate, bat it equally concerns
ourselves and our adversaries in the
war. The president has no intention
of taking any .part in the actual ne
gotiations of terms of peace; that he
leaves wholly to the belligerents. He
simply comes forward now to state
in unmistakable terms, both for his
own people and the' other people of
the world, every one of whom is
directly concerned what kind of peace
it is he will consent to call upon his
countrymen to approve and sustain."
After quoting the chief points in
the president's speech in regard to
the conditions on which peace must
be baaed, the Guardian continues:
"It is a splendid policy, nobly ex
pressed. How will it be received? By
the people everywhere we cannot
doubt joyfully; by men of good will
and enlightenment everywhere not
less joyfully and with a clear percep
tion that this is no vision of Utopia
but 'a well-thought-out and justly
framed scheme of a man in a great
position and versed in great affairs."
Autocrats Will Dislike It
Asking how the belligerents will
regard it, the paper thinks its prin
ciples and phrases will be hardly pal
atable to autocratic rulers or easily
reconciled to their traditions and
methods of government,
"But yet, if the people hear them
gladly, perhaps the government also
. may find it wise to find in them a path
of safety. At for ourselves they are
our terms, or if they are not they
ought to be and the mass of the na
tions will do well to see that their
rulers render to them every possible
favor, and support"
Referring to the president's "noble
concluding words" the Guardian says:
"These are words which will find an
echo in many hearts and words are
sometimes deeds."
... French Press Skeptical.
Paris, Jan. 23. President Wilson's
address to the senate ia printed in
full in the moat prominent place by
all the morning papers and comment
as a whole is sympathetic, but skepti
cal. The Petit Parisien says: "It
seems that President Wilson, as in
his previous note, has mistakenly
placed the states attacked and the ag
gressors on the same footing when
the distinction was an easy one which
he was in conscience bound to make.
With that stipulation we can only
subscribe to the formula which the
president sets forth as a basis of fu
ture peace. None of hit conception!
can offend, us. They are ours. They
were ours long before 1917. We
certainly will not oppose them. It
"i.gives . us only pleasure to see these
pians tor iiDeny mu juiivc elo
quently upheld by Mr.. Wilson.- nut
what will Germany and Austria say?"
The Matin aays: "In entire agree
ment with President Wilson as to the
principle! enunciated by him, we
nevertheless shall believe, until more
fully informed, that there ii a portion
of humanity upon which these prin
ciples must he imposed by force; for
it would be erroneous to suppose
they could be led to accept them
from conviction." m '
Dominated by Noble Chimera.
The Journal savi: "Mr. Wilson is
obsessed with the idea of inaugu
rating for the world a golden age of
universal brotherhood. His whole
message is dominated by that noble
chimera and that must be invoked as
an excuse in order to attenuate the
impression which this extraordinary
manifesto cannot fail to make on the
allied countries. Mr. Wilson's scheme
is simplicity itself, except that it re
quires a new type of man. Since the
world has been the world human pas
sions have caused conflicts to arise
in every stage of its organization in
families, tribes, nations, groups of na
tions. Does Mr. Wilson intend to
change human nature?"
Gustave Herve writes in the Vic
toire: "What a pity it is this masterly
page of social philosophy is marred
and almost disfigured by those three
little words, 'Peace' Without Vic
:i tory.' "
The Humanite says: "President
Wilson has set forth a great pacifist
i program which reveals to the world
J the same lofty inspiration that die-
I tated the note of December 18."

DEWEY AHEAD ON
THE FIRST ROUND
Gains Two Votes on Kelpin,
Who is Contesting Right to
County Clerk's Office.
INCUMBENT'S LEAD HEAVY
The opening round in the much
heralded Kelpin-Dewey election con
test which was fought before Judge
Crawford of the county court, didn't
result very favorably for the contest
ing, unsuccessful candidate for the
county clerk's job at the last election.
As a matter of fact County Clerk
T wey gained two votes when the
first batch of ballots were recounted.
His majority is now 2,290 votes.
Counsel for the county clerk ap
peared before Judge Crawford and
made formal objections to reopening
the ballot boxes, 'contending that, in
view of Dewey's comfortable major
ity and the fact that the contest -uit
was broug'it solely upon allegations
by C E, Kelpin, democrat, who was
defeated, that there had been mis
takes in the counting of the votes,
there was not sufficient evidence to
proceed with the contest.
The judge pointed out that the stat
utes provide that a contest suit may
be brought no mattei if the .winner's
majority is overwhelming, In other
words, he showed where a defeated
candidate, nO matter how badly he's
defeated, can force the officials to re
count alt the votes. ' So the ballot
boxes were ordered into court and the
fight was on. ,
There will be more than one loser
when the ballots are finally recounted.
tor one thing the county will be
"out" several hundred dollars, The
loser, according to law, must pay the
county $1 a day for the time the votes
are being counted. The osl of the
suit to tbe county will be at least $10
a day, leaving a daily iehcit ot $y. it
is believed that it will require several
weeks for Judge Crawford and his
assistants to count the ballots.
Wilson's Ideals Mean the
Early Extinction of Tyranny
London. Jan. 23. President . Wil
son's speech in the senate yesterday
on participation by the United States
m a league oi peace maintaincu us
position as the chiet news event in
the British newspapers, which devote
their front oases to the text and
comment from the morning papers of
London and Paris under headings
snch as "President Wilson s Millen
ium" and "The Washington bensa
tion." The Westminster Uaiettc asks
whether, if President Wilson had
suffered what the entente allies have.
he would patiently have listened to
a third party telling him he must be
content to end the war without win
ning it and to forego penalties against
the enemy who nad sprung tne war,
torn up treaties and committed "un
heard of crimes against humanity."
The Westminster Gaiette says it is
a reasonable inference from the presi
dent's mention of the German inten
tions that he "knows something that
we don t know and concludes:
Mr. Wilson has something fur
ther in view than rhetoric" and sug
gests that "his most practical step is
to tell us what the German terms are
or, if he does not know, to induce the
Germans to disclose them. We shall
then be able to attach a definite mean
ing to words and phrases that are now
quite vague and to discover whether
the suggestion 'Pesce without victory'
is a peace which would stop short of
'crushing' the enemy in the sense of
inflicting on it political extinction,
which we disavow.
"The ideals which President Wilson
sets before us are so remote from
Prussian militarism that their realiza
tion necessarily carries with it extinc
tion of German tyranny. His general
idea of a world at peace with a Teign
of law established and all nationali
ties, great and small, living in free
dom and security is such that he can
get what he wants if we at the same
time get what we want."
The Standard refers to President
Wilson's speech as astounding and,
speaking of German claims of vic
tory, continues:
"In other words, mediation is pre
mature, and if persisted in could be
interpreted only as a desire to help
the party which already claims to
have won. Moreover, it is not clear
by what title, legal or moral, Presi
dent Wilson assumes that he has
some right to shape the destinies of
the European continent.
"He did not protest against the in
fringement of the Hague conven
tions. He has never' expressed the
smallest sympathy with the suffer
ings of France, Belgium. Serbia or
Poland. We have heard his voice
raised on behalf of suffering human
ity only since Germany seemed visi
bly on the decline."
THE' BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1917.
GIRLS DISPUTE
MRS. KOSTER'S WILL
Mrs. Julia Limbaugh Would Be
Administratrix, Saying Her
Mother Left No Will.
TWO WILLS ALREADY FILED
On the same day that one daugh
ter filed a petition asking for the
probating of her mother's will, an
other daughter filed a written request
with the clerk of the county court
that she be appointed administratrix,
asserting that the late Magdalena
Rosters, a pioneer umana woman
who died on Tanuarv 17. left no will.
But there are two wills in the files
of the clerk of the county court, one
having been made ten years ago and
the other dating back seventeen years.
The later will has been opened.
Mrs. Julia Limbaugh is the daugh
ter who wants to be appointed ad
ministratrix. She says that her moth
er left $75,000 worth of real estate
and personal property to the amount
ot ?!UO. ihe petition niea py Mrs.
Limbaugh states that she acted as her
mother's guardian.
Bulk to Miss Kosters.
Sarah Etizaheth Kosters asks that
the will deposited with the clerk of
the county court on July IS, 1917, be
probated. The petition of the latter
daughter sets forth that the estate of
the pioneer Omaha woman, who was
89 years old at the time of her death,
amounts to only about (5,000 in real
estate and $1,000 worth ot personal
property.
The bulk-of Mrs. Kosters' property
was deeded to sarah Elizabeth Kos
ters since the will was made. This
is the property at Tenth and Howard
streets, considered to be fairly valua
ble.
The following heirs, all sons and
daughters, with the exception of a
grandson, and whose ages total
nearly 500 years, are involved in the
settlement of the Kosters estate:

CONGRESSMEN TELL
ABOUTFREE SEEDS
Attitude of Number of Nebras
kans Explained on Receipt
of Resolution.
MANY VOTED AGAINST
Washington, Jan. (Special Tel
egram.) Having been advised
through the press of Nebraska that
the legislature had commended Con
gressman Reavis for his stand against
free garden seeds, the representatives
in congress lrom tne prairie state rein
with much interest the official resolu
tions n( the legislature received today.
1 have always voted against tree
garden seeds, said Kepreseniauve
Stephens. "I am in hearty sympathy
with experiments along the lines of
agricultural development, especially in
the development ot grass seen, out i
never could see any reason for the
free seed distribution' that congress
has favored for years."
How It Is In Fourth.
Representative Sloan, who repre
sents a big agricultural district, when
asked about the commendatory reso
lution of the legislature regarding
Representative Reavis' position as to
free seeds, said he voted against the
free garden seed item one vear ago
and the item was stricken from the
bill.
However, the senate reinstated it
and in conference it was retained in
the bill. Again, on January 5, 1917.
he voted to strike out the item from
the present agricultural appropriation,
but by a vote of 42 to 44, on division,
and 44 to 73, by tellers, it was retained
in the bill which now has gone to the
senate. Mr. Sloan said that his vote
represented his attitude toward the
free seed policy.
However, when congress voted the
item it conveyed to my constituents
about one-sixth hundredth part of all
the seeds so appropriated for, and 1
shall not refuse to distribute to mv
constituents their own property,
which if they did not obtain would go
to other constituencies.
Kinkaid's View.
Judge Kinkaid. speaking of the res
olution, which singled out one mem
ber ot the delegation for praise be
cause of his stand against free seeds.
said: 1 voted three times to strike
out the item in the appropriation bill
with reference to free seeds. We were
outvoted. I did this on recommenda
tion of the farmers organizations of
Nebraska, through a letter written bv
President Oustatson. If the senate
passes the bill with the free seed ap
propriation intact, I shall deem it mv
duty to distribute my quota rather
than to dcline to do so with the cer
tainty that they shall be distributed
in other congressional districts.
I was not present when the vntr
was taken on the garden seed item. I
am in favor of using the money now
spent for inconsequential items in de
veloping seeds that mean something
to the farmer in the way of diversify
ing his grass crop," said Representa
tive onaiiennarger.

VERBAL BOMB IN
SUFFRAGE RANKS
Debate About Congressional
Union Waxes Warm and In
volves Prominent Women.
MISS AMEDON STABTS TILT
"Are you for or against the Con
gressional union?"
That's the query par importance, the
''third degree" test, as it were, that
is being applied to all local suffragists,
imffrage circles are charged with spirit
for and against the hitherto locally unrecognized-
offspring of the National
Woman Suffrage association. An ex
plosion seems impending.
The reason is the presence in
Omaha of Miss Beulah Aniidon, Con
gressional union organizer and ad
vance representative for a conference
the Congressional union is arranging
for Omaha on February 6. Miss Elsie
Hill of the Washington, D. C, staff
will come to speak at the conference,
which will probably take the form of
a luncheon at the Fontenelle.
Already Mrs. Charles T. Kountze.
whose sister-in-law, Mrs. Meredith
Nicholson, is on the advisory council
of the Congressional union; Mrs. D.
R. Mills, Mrs. A. C. Anderson and
Miss Helen Sorenson have lent their
names for the local committee of ar
rangements for the conference and
other names of prominent suffrage
"regulars" are to be forthcoming
within twenty-four hours.
Mrs. Draper Smith, former state
president; Mrs. H. C. Sumney, Miss
Myrtle Kelley, Mrs. James Richard
son and Mrs. C. S. Stebbins are among
those lined up against the intrusion
of the rival suffrage organization.
Not only is the question of approval
or disapproval of Congressional union
methods, the rock on which the two
organizations split, the sole source
of friction, but another interesting
point is brought to light by Mrs.
Sumney.
How can members ot the National
Suffrage association consistently ally
themselves with the Congressional
union, when the last convention voted
that no one could hold oltice in the
national who was active in the Con
gressional union? That states the
attitude of the national organization
well enjugh.
Miss Beulah Amidon. the pretty
young organizer, disclaims that fric
tion will result between the two or
ganizations. Women can -lly them
selves with both organizations, sne
claims.
Mrs. Sumney is "agin the Con
gressional union also for coming into
Nebraska without the consent ofstate
suffragists. "That's more than our
own national organization would do.
Mrs. Catt would never start a cam
paign in Nebraska without the wish
of the suffragists here."

O GL Ounces for O
Try This If You
Have Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been known to
fail. Advertisement.

CAPITAL BEHIND
DEFENSEAGITATION
Des Moines Editor Says Pre
paredness Sought to Crash
Revolt, Not Invaders,
0DELL 07 OMAHA TALKS
New York, Jan. 23. The memory
of frontier days "when self-defense
was most taught and practiced and
assaults were most common," makes
the middle west hesitate to throw it
self into the movement for prepared
ness, owing to the belief that prep
aration would not be for defense but
for war, it was declared by Harvey
Ingham, editor of the Des Moines
Register and Leader, at the conven
tion of the National Civic Federation
here today.
"One hundred submarines," he
said, "would make the invasion of
America as impossible as the invasion
of the moon. Representatives of
capital, who fear our democratic in
stitutions are not going to stand the
strain when time comes, believe in
preparedness more to quell domestic
insurrection than to repel foreign
invasion," he said
Mr. Ingham's remarks about the
west were resented by Henry A. Wise

L. B. Schram, chairman of the meet

aloof from partisan discussions
Further defense of the west was
voiced by Frank G. Odell of Omaha,
executive secretary of the National
Conservation congress. He said that
more "treason can be heard in Madi

than in "a journey of 10,000 miles

The west, he said, furnished more
