U A Indoor iifcpi" n aa0 TAitex LIBERTY BONDS ARE BEST INVESTMENTS Lawrence Chamberlain, Lead ing New York Bond Author ity, and Dwight Hillis Talk to Commercial Club Men. Washington, June 9. With only a week left in which to subscribe to the Liberty loan, subscriptions must come at the rate of 1100,000,. 000 a day to make up the total of $2,000,000,000. The daily average of subscriptions has been only $54. 000,000. "This is a national crisis; the soldier must protect the state; the business man must equip the soldier, otherwise the republic and our allies cannot survive," said Rev. Newell Dwight hillis of Brooklyn in his Liberty loan talk to Commercial club men at the club rooms at noon. "It is America's best investment. Everyone should buy a bond. The pri vate investor must take a good share," said Lawrence Chamberlain of New York, recognized authority on bonds, in his talk on the same subject. . The men are traveling together. Their itinerary includea thirty cities in eighteen states. They are holding , mass meetings to stimulate the pur chase of the Liberty bonds. Judge W. D. McHugli presided at the luncheon. . Crisis Upon Us. "Like an advancing storm, suddenly a crisis has come upon our beloved country," said Rev. Mr. Hillis. "Not since Fort Sumpter ,was fired upon has the sky been so black. With France and England we have now entered upon the most terrible war that ever shook the earth. "One hundred and forty years ago our fathers founded this republic, dedicated to independence, equality and self-government In 1776 three millions of people, controlling a little fringe of land on the Atlantic coast, founded our free institutions. Socn France and Switzerland followed our lead, until today there are more than twenty republics, including eleven hundred millions of people, control ling nine-tenths of the land of the globe. Over against the democracy of the free people, with their manu facturing life, stands the autocracy of Germany, with her military life. In this terrible war autocracy and dem ocracy are in a death grapple. Against Free Peoples. 'Today we behold a nation using every power of the intellect, every secret of science, every form of or ganized efficiency, not to build up and better the Germans, but to strike down and ruin peaceful Belgians and the French peasants. "Over against the free peoples, em phasizing industry, stands autocratic Germany, that has turned its land into a military machine, and for years prepared for a calculated and re morseless use of steel, fiery gas, dyna mite,, torpedoes, for killing any people whose industrial prosperity either ex ceeds theirs or stands in the way of their ambitious schemes. "Once Rome was rover against . Carthage, like two castles over against each other, with cannon shot ted to the muzzle. Today, German autocracy and militarism is over against the free peoples as a castle with cannon belching flame is over against a cathedral or the library of Louvain, the picture gallery, the fac tory and the home." Loyalty Bids Support The speaker declared that loyalty to our fathers bids us support the Lib erty loan, and that even self-interest urges support He pointed to the sit uation in Russia in which democracy, 10 recently born, has given place to mobocracy," which brought about the collapse of Russia. He concluded by saying; "The vic tory of the Liberty loan and this war, safeguarding democracy,- is to be the most glorious victory that has ever blessed the human race." Mr. Chamberlain urged that a large percentage of the $2,000,000,000 Lib erty loan bonds be taken by private investors. He held this to be es sential. He referred to the $25,000,000 bond purchase made by the steel corporation, and held this to be ex - cellent, but cautioned, "It is sound and proper, within certain limits, that in stitutions such as that to which I have referred, shall join in these subscrip tions, but if they buy too much, the money thus employed is diverted from the ordinary channels of busi ness with detriment to the national ( prosperity.

ROYAL ROBES FOR PRINCESS ZEODITI At Adis Abena, Yossou Crowns Daughter of Memelek Em press of Abyssinia. MUCH POMP AND SPLENDOR (Correspondence of Tha Associated Prats.) Adis, Abena, Abysinnia, April 15. The coronation of the new empress of Abyssinia, Zeodito, was marked by a week's holiday for everybody in the country. It was particularly an occa sion of rejoicing for those who owed the government a good-shred tax bill, for the empress in a special corona tion day edict exempted all taxpayers from arrears and pardoned all crim inals who were still at large. The outside world was represented at the festivities of coronation week by the ministers of the entente pow ers and a handful of Europeans living in Adis Abeba. No European was al lowed to be present at the actual crowning, which took place at the un usual hour of 4 a. m. at the state Cathedral of St. George. The cere monies here were somewhat protract ed, and it was 8:30 when the empress wearing her crown emerged from the cathedral and took her seat on a throne in the courtyard of the cathe dral. Here the diplomatic corps and foreign guests were seated on one side of the platform, while the native chiefs and ministers of state occupied the other side. Two princesses had places of honor on either side of her majesty, while on the steps of the throne stood the regent, Kas I atari, and Ras Kassa, a cousin of the late King Menelek. Bishop Delivers Oration. The diplomatic corps, followed by the European colony and the Abysin- tan chiefs, passed in single hie beiore the empress, bowed ceremoniously and resumed their seats. Then the bishop of Abyssinia made the oration of the day, describing the events that had led to the dethronement of Em peror Lidj Yassouand the proclama tion of Princess Zeodito as empress, and expressing the hope that the reign of "this illustrious daughter of the illustrious Menelek" would be marked by prosperity and peace. The empress replied by reading a S reclamation inviting her people to ring their complaints to her personal attention. Procession is Spectacular. At the close of the speech making there was a spectacular procession from the cathedral to the royal palace. The distance is nearly two miles, and the procession took two and a half hours to cover it. The whole route was splendidly decorated with tri umphal arches erected every few yards. A detachment of cavalry, led by the ministry of war, marshalled the procession, followed by a military baud, infantry and artillery. The state coach, drawn by eight white horses, was preceded by carriages bearing the maids of honor and the women of the legations. On each side of the coach stood a page, whose duty was to receive and return all the salutes of the crowd, thus sparing the empress a certain amount of trouble. The carriage was escorted by three men on horseback, the three most powerful nobles in the empire. Behind the state carriage came the bishop and then the diplo matic corps and guests, all on horse back. The parade reached the royal palace m time for a four-hour banquet, con cluding the festivities of the first day. German Missions Close For Lack of Ministers (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, May 3. Bishop Mont gomery, in his report at the 216th annual meeting of the Society of the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, expressed regret that the Ger man missions throughout the world had collapsed as a result of absence of hundreds of German pastors, who were faithful, as all good missionar ies are, to their flocks. It is deplorable mat irom political causes, tne close association of our society with the German missions in India , West Africa and Lebanon should have had to cease " j . - THE OMAHA CnpyrlKht. 91. International Nt-wi Brvlcw NEW JEWISH EPOCH, DECLARESSIR MOND Cabinet Member Says Russia and Palestine Now Offer Race Complete Freedom. WILL END THE MIGRATION (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, April 30. "The news of the past few weeks, both from Russia and from Palestine, points to the opening of a new era for the Jewish race," declared Sir Alfred Mond in an interview tocky. Sir Alfred, who holds the post of first commissioner for works in the Lloyd George cab inet, is the only Jewish member' of the present ministry. " "In Russia," he explained, "the revolution brings the promise of com plete political emancipation; in Pales tine the British advance indicates in the near future the realization of some modified form of a national ideal which most Jews have held dear for centuries. "Of the two events the revolution in Russia is much the more important development so far as Jews are con cerned, for it applies to 5,000,000 of my race. Nothing like this number could possibly be affected by the ma turing of the Palestine ideal. "With the advent of a liberal regime in Russia the sentiment of America has changed, and Jewish influence, which was exerted on the side of anti Russian feeling in America, is now pro-Russian a very remarkable but quite natural transformation. immigration Will Diminish. "Jewish emigration from Russia to the United States will now diminish, for the conditions that made for this emigration no longer operate. Under the new era the Russian Jews should shed the characteristics which are largely due to repression, to exclusion from the life of the nation. "Em braced in the nation, they will be moulded by the national genius of the Kussian people while rctaininz their own individuality. Russia will find now that its new born Jews are a tremendous asset. Wherever the Jew has received full liberty, as, in England and the United States, he has proved himself an en ergetic, enterprising and loyal citizen. In many branches of industry, finance, law and medicine he has ex celled. "When I was in New York the tre mendous zest for educational prog ress even among the most illiterate of the Jews who had emigrated there, was one of the many things that im pressed me. I visited an extremely tine technical school, built by the mu nicipality of New York, one of the finest institutions of its kind I have ever seen, and there I was told that a very large proportion of the pupils were children of the poorest Jewish parents who had come from Russia. Jews Not Hostile. "Jews in Russia have never been hostile to the people of Russia, but only to the despotic form of govern ment there, and this hostility un doubtedly played a great part in feed 21 Stylet and Sizes Up From $35.00 We Carry A.

Turning'to the opportunity opened up for the Jewish race in Palestine by the entrance of the British armies, Sir Alfred said: "Are the Jews suita ble for the agricultural life which must be the basis of the development of, this sun-enriched soil? Reference to the Jewish agricultural colonies established in' Palestine in recent years gives an affirmative answer. These colonies have achieved remark able results and seem to .point to the survival of the old pastoral instinct of the Jews.

FRENCH BOUNDARY UNESDESTROYED Records Are Burned and Land marks Are Missing From Region Devastated by Germans. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Paris, May 6. Such preliminary measures a-s have been taken for the reconstruction of devastated regions in France have developed many dif ficulties, the greatest of which, par ticularly in the region of the Sommc and the Oise, recently evacuated by the Germans, is to establish the boun dary lines of property, from which not orrly the buildings have disappeared, but from which every land mark has been torn. Deeds of record and all other pa pers that would aid in reconstituting titles to property, with plans of towns and public buildings, have been burned with departmental archives in a great many towns and villages. Brooks and rivers, rrom which bear ings might be taken, have been di verted from their courses.

The small French landholder is much attached to the soil and jealous of the slightest parcel of land upon which his labor has been expended. He will fight to the last ditch for what he considers his landed rights. Consequently it is feared that there are innmerable" lawsuits in prospect. Property boundaries also have been modified since the war began by pub lic works executed for the purposes of the army. Many new railroad lines constructed for strategical purposes will be found so useful that they will become permanent. "The geographic reconstruction o"f the entire region of the battle, of Ar ras, the battle of the Somme, the bat tle of St. Quentin and the battle of Lens," said M. Accambray, deputy for the department of the Aisne, to a cor respondent of the Associated Press, "as well as of other regions along the front in the zone that has been bat tered for nearly three years by heavy artillery will be a long, minute, labori ous task, developing countless' con tests and, it is feared, interminable litigation. We can only hope that the Germans will be made to disgorge the booty they carried away from these regions and that in it will be docu ments andvrccords that will help us in this complicated labor. wssvNaN v-uj,' (. teMillionsoMiies ! 3 A B BTV-T BEAFft S I lM i - b r n MILLIONS of miles the worst roads of Goodrich Black TESTED TIRES ir --ifrsW"- Millions of miles of mauling against the teeth of the road confirm Goodrich's UNIT MOLD, unbroken cure, as the BEST construction for fabric tires.
