RUSSIA'S POLICY
UNCHANGED. SAYS
TERESTCHENKO
Speech Discloses That German
Aim to Separate Allies Was
Reason For Peace
Proposals.
Petrograd, Oct. 29 Foreign Min
ister Terestehenko, in addressing the
preliminary Parliament today, said
a separate peace was impossible and
that defense of Russian territory was
One of the fundamental needs.
The foreign minister said the abso
lute independence of Courland and
perhaps of Poland and Lithuania was
impossible, as it would mean that
Russia would return to the days be
fore Feter. He also asserted com
plete demobilization and disarma
ment and neutralization of canals and
straits were impossible.
Russia's foreign policy had not
changed, the minister continued, since
the first statement enunciating the
principles of no indemnities, no an
nexations, and the right of nations
to self-definition.
War of Nations.
"The people must understand that
the war is being carried on not by
governments but by nations," he
added. "AS the nations began the
fighting so they must end it. Russia
and France first held back the foes,
and so they continue."
M. Terestehenko declared that the
offers for a separate peace and the
sentiment in favor of them were
strongest last May, when they were
followed by the Russian offensive.
"There is a rumor that the allies
wished to leave Russia to her fate,"
the foreign minister continued, "but
I state officially that it is untrue.
Germany Wants Separate Peace.
"Germany's aim is to separate Rus
sia from the f Hies and, if possible, to
.da this by peaceful means, in order to
use Russia economically afterward.
While the other nations at war are
unable to continue civil industry, Ger
many has been so well organized
from the beginning that she has been
able to continue ljer efforts to carry
on trade. She looks upon Russia as
her market. Therefore, the defense
of Russian territory is one of the
fundamental needs now, for if Ger
many gets into Russia commercially
after the war, we shall have no self
definition afterwards."
In regard to the forthcoming con
ference of the allies at Paris, M.
Terestehenko said it must be re
membered that Russia should forget
politics there and be represented as
a nation. He characterized some
points of the peace terms of-the sol
diers' and workmen's delegates as im
possible, saying they could not be de
fended as the nation's terms. It was
in this connection that he made his
references to Courland, Poland and
Lithuania and to the impossibility of
neutralizing canals and straits and
disarming completely.
Much Peace Talk.
"There never has been more p3re
talk in Germany and Austria than
tmiT " viA tlm tniniuter T am ffltl-
fident Germany was insincere in the
reported recent offer for the freedom
of Belgium, without the freedom of
Alsace-Lorraine, and in the intima
tion that this would be its last offer.
It will make more.
"Germany is now concentrating its
efforts to affect its enemies economi
cally. For instance, its attack on
Riga was not strategical, but in pur
suance of a far-sighted policy of strik
ing at our weakest point, noping to
uin the economic life of the coun
"try. Too much importance must not
be given to today's Italian defeat, as
this also is for mere economic ef
fect." M. Terestehenko' s speech was
I cheered throughout by the conserva
tives, but he was heckled more than
'.'applauded by the Bolsheviki.
The American, British and Italian
ambassadors were present when the
speech was delivered.
Kansas City Salesman
Suspected of Forgery
Harry M. Clark, Kansas City sales
man, was arrested this morning upon
suspicion of forgery. Clark had in his
possession checks made payable to
himself and drawn on Tulsa, Old.,
banks.
His arrest followed an order alleged
to have been placed by him with the
Quinby Printing company for a block
of checks to be printed ostensibly for
the Burlington Box company of Bur
lington, la. He displayed a letter from
the vice president of the box factory
thanking him for good work done in
the past and enclosing check for serv
ices. This letter is declared a forgery
by police.
The game worked by Clark, accord
ing to the officers, is forwarding mail
to himself in care of a hotel and upon
arriving open the letter and present
thejeheck to be cashed.
Other cities have been wired for in
formation, as the police believe Clark
answers the description of a man
whose operations have defrauded
southern hotel keepers of large sums.

Upon Promise to Behave
John Polokovic, charged by his
wife with assault and battery, re
ceived a 90-day suspended sentence in
police court. Monday his 12-year-old
sonFran.k, testified against him, tell
ing "Judge Madden of the beatings

Polokovic has been ordered to re

NO COAL SHORTAGE,
KENNEDYREPORTS
Congested. Traffic Which Pre
vents Equal Distribution
Only Difficulty, Says Fuel
Administrator for State.
'"Taking the ut:ntry as a whole,
the coal supply is i:ot below normal,
but congested traiVic has prevented
equal distribution," is the message
John L. Kennedy, federal fuel ad
ministrator for Nebraska, brings to
consumers of this state after a Con
ference with representatives of fifteen
states held in Washington last Fri
day. "Every state is to have its equitable
share of fuel," declared Mr. Ken
nedy. "The coal dealers, wholesale
and retail, are to exhaust their usual
sources of supply, and then appeal to
the fuel administration, through the
state administrator, for whatever
further supply is needed to meet pres
ent requirements. The administration
will direct shipments when necessary,
and all coal passing into a given state
for consumption there will be charged
to the state. In that way, sooner or
later, each state will get its share. In
ease of necessity, coal operators will
be directed to ship to local jobbers
in several states. For instance, 100
cars of anthracite are now being
shipped in.o Nebraska, without pass
ing through the intermediate jobber.
Later shipments will no doubt be
made in the same way."
Boost County Price.
Prices of coal for the coflnty will
have to be increased 90 cents a ton
if contracts arc carried out, C. W.
Hull, president of the Hull Coal com
pany, told county commissioners
Tuesday morning. The coal man ex
plained unusual conditions in the mar
ket and notified the board it would be
impossible to fill the contract at the
prices quoted a week ago wdien con
tracts were let.
The increased prices are due to the
government raise and the war tax. Mr.
Hull declared it was not su much a
question of pric; and profit among
dealers now as it was supplying the
actual needs of the people.
The county board faces the proposi
tion of accepting the Hull contract
at the 90 cents a ton increase or re
jecting it and buying coal on the open
market. Mr. Hull said his company
would not even consider the contract
as originally let by the board.

Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear Klahses?
Are you a victim of eye strain or other eye
weaknesses f If so, you will be glad to
know that according to Dr. Lewis there is
real hope for you. Many whose eyes were
failing say they have had their eyes re
stored through the principle of this won
derful free prescription. One man says,
after trying it: "I was almost blind; could
not see to read at all. Now I csn read every
thing without any glasses and my eyes do
not water any more. At night they would
pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the
time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady
who uned it says: "The atmosphere seemed
hazy with or without glasses, but after using
this prescription for fifteen days everything
ee:n clear. I can oven reid f'n" print

Here is the prescription: Go to any active'
drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tab. '
lets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth
of a glass of water and allow to dissolve.
With this liquid bathe the eyes two to four j
times daily. You should notice your eyes j

If your eyes are bothering you, even a little,
take steps to save them now before it is !

been saved if they hud cared for their i

"Showing
Sister Susie
how to Sew"
is most important, for
Susie's last name is legion.
All over this broad land
she is hard at work sew
ing shirts for soldiers, knit
ting natty neck-warmers,
and often knotty socks
that blister brother Bill's
big toe!
Susie is so willing that
the Red Gross has sent
a committee to Europe to
find out just what kind of
shirts and socks the Sam
mies would like to have.
And this committee
has issued a little picture
book that tells all about
knitting soldiers' socks,
also sweaters, helmets,
wristlets, mufflers, wash
cloths and hotwater bot
tle covers.
This free book tells just
how to do it, what size
needles to use and what
kind of wool to get. Best
of all it has a complete set
of beautiful half-tone illus
trations that explain every
thing. Since the safety of the
soldiers is on Sister Susie's
shoulders she shouldn't
shirk securing this splen
did sewing system.
