12 A fHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE:. NOVEMBER 18, 1917. GALLI-CURCI QUIETS VAST , AUDIENCE WITH PATRIOTIC SONG WHEN FLAMES LEAP (Br Anociatcil Prwu.) Chicago, Nov. 17. A bomb, a length of lead pipe filled yith black powder and with a fuse lighted was placed tonight in the front of the main floor of the Auditorium theater just as the performance of Dinorah was begun. t?t cunnTC iid O A half houi later, just before the end of the first act a flame shot up from the bomb, the occupants of the seats on that floor of the building surged in panic toward the exits and Galli Carci, aided by the artists of the Chicago Grand Opera company, started the Star Spangled Banner, the audience joined in, the fuse wis extinguished and quiet restored. The bomb was taken for investiga tion by officials of the fire department ind federal agents at once began an effort to learn who placed it in the building. PROTEST AG AIST WEALTli. Whether it was intended as a pro test against th. extravagance of Grand Opera, the rich gowns and jewels of the theater-goers and the high sal aried vocalists in these wartimer or whether it was a demonstration of an enemy alien's (rightfulness could not be learned tonight. Suspect Three Germans. , Two women who occupied seats near .here the blaze flared up told Hin ton Claba-ghof the federal Depart ment of justice that three men of marked German appearance had sat near them and had left soon after the .auditorium was darkened. An effort is being made to learn to whom the seats were sold. Mrs. George C. Hixon, who occu pied the seat under which the bomb was found went to the Federal build ing and told the authorities what she had seen. "I was intent on the opera," she said "when I saw a little burst of flame under the- seat. This seat, which was on the aisle had been occupied by a man in evening clothes, who about ten minutes before had risen and gone out." ' "The fire startled me and I gave a little tcream, and began stamping the flames, and a man ran in and picked something from under the seat, put it under his coat and ran out. My foot was burned slightly." Smell of Sulphur. Judge Hugo Fam was sitting two rows away. "! was startled by the burst of flame," he saidr'It shot up .at least two' feet and was accompan ied by a smell of sulphur." Two women whose names were kept secret told the federal agents they had overheard three men, ap parently of German descent belittling Americans whuVthey were in the lob by removing their wraps ten minutes prior to the discovery of the bomb. 1 A woman, who was sitting nca where the bomb was found said she remembered stumbling against some object as she passed to her chair. It is believed that the bomb contained some mechanism that caused it to burst into flames when moved slight ly. - .

He resigned at the death of Yuan Shi Kai and when fsun Tung, the young emperor, was put back on the throne last summer, trnder protection of General Chang Jlsun, Hsu Shi Chang was appointed one of the guardians of the emperor. South China has been seriously disaffected since the restoration of the republic. Inter-Allied Negotiations ' Progress Admirably London Nov. 17. The work of the American mission to the inter-allied conference is proving most satis factory from both the American and the British standpoint. The confer ences of the experts have resulted in an exchange of much fuller informa tion concerning the resources and needs of the allies, both in military and economic fields and" the Ameri can ability to aid, than has been ob tained heretofbre. The. experts among the members of the mission have made a strong impression on the British officials by . iheir energy and grasp of various problems. They are discussing both sides and have laid all their cards on the table." said one member of the government, "and we are working together with the sreateft harmony " ,..'.... War's End in 12 Months; Austrians Will Rebel Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 17. Opin ion that the end of the war will come in 12 months as a result of a racial and social upheaval in Austria-Hungary was expressed by Sir George H. Reid, former premier of Australia, in an address here today. "I think the drive on Italy is one of the worst disasters of the war," said Sir George, "and but for it there would have been a quick end to all the trouble. Austria was crumbling. Germany had to sum mon all its power to hold its ally on its feet. But I call on you to notice that when the allies advance on the west front they hold what they gain." FRANCE IN FIGHTING TRIM, SMS VIQNAL Military Attache at Washing, ton Discusses War Situa tion Before Commer- ciaj Club. "I feel it is my duty to explain to you that France is not bled to death, as has been said by some," said Gen eral Paul Vignal, in his talk at the Commercial club at noon. General Vijfnal is military attache with the French embassy in Washington. "France is not bled to death. I can say to you now that France now has 1.000,000 more men in the field than during the German invasion of Bel gium. "I can tell you also that France is equipped with munition works to the extent that we can turn out 1,000,000 shells every three days." Tells of War Activities. The French general gave some vivid descriptions of the activities at tending the retirement of the French before the Germans during the early stages of the war and the final stand they made at the Marne which re sulted in the turning of the tide and the bending of the German-line north ward. General Vignal said General ,Jof fre's orders to the army when he de termined to make this stand were im pressive. They read: "Officers, Soldiers, Men: Your or ders heretofore have hcen to retire. You have done so. It was part of my plan. Now I order you to stop where you are. Face the enemy. If you cannot advance here you can at least do something; you can die where you are." He told of the battle that began the next morning, of the conflict through the confusion of which it soon became apparent that the Ger mans were being bent northward. "Now I can die happy," is vyhat the soldiers said, according to General Vignal, "for I have seen this day when the Germans were turned." The Liege Campaign. , Touching on Belgium and the Liege campaign, General Vignal praised the great heroism of the Belgians and of their king who took the position that though his country was small' and weak he would not allow the treaty to be violate without a bitter fight. "That stand gave France an op portunity to prepare and make pos sible the defeat of the Germans at the Marne," said the general,"and when the monuments are erected at the Marne, the name of the king of Bel gium must be placed by the side of the names of J off re and the others." Bomb Exploded in Chicago ? Theater Not Made to Kill Chicago, Nov. 17. Bomb experts today established that the contrivance set off at the Auditorium theater last night was not of itself expected to do damage, but, was evidently ex pected to start a panic in which many lives would be trampled out The so-called bomb, made of a gas pipe with a little loose powder inside, "would not have killed a fly," accord ing to Chief of Folice Schuettler. The instrument was turned over , to the chief by federal authorities today, and it was examined by experts on ex plosives. A quantitative analysis of the bomb showed that it contained two ounces of powder, two ounces of smokeless powder and some scraps of leather. , Switzerland Is Alarmed By False Reports Washington. Nov. 17. Alarmed that the circulation of rumors saying one set of the European belligerents has asked Switzerland's permission to move troops and war materials through its territory may be seized by the other belligerents as a pretext to forcibly do the same thing, the Swiss political department has hastened -to denounce the rumors as 'a se. Some of the Swiss press, according to cables received here today, regards the rumors as having been circulated by Germany with the design of seiz ing upon .them as a pretext for mov ing troop's into Italy over the Swiss railroads. . British Food Head Thin on War Rations Glasgow, Nov. 17. Baron- Rhond da, the food controller, in a speech today, referring to what he termed were cuspicions that he was not practicing what he preached, said that whether due to rationing or to the anxieties of office, his weight 'had been reduced by ?1 pounds in the lact six months and he felt all the better for it. Baron Rhondda added that all the members of his' department were carrying out ra tioning. - , -v CONSIDER OMAHA AS LOCATION FOR GREATJOSPITAL Report if. Washington Army Surgeons Favor Fort Crook as Site of Big Reconstruc tion Institution. Waahlnftoa Bureau of The Omaha Bee, 1 1311 G Street. Washington Nov. 17. (Special Tel egram.) A story was current today about the War department that Oma ha probably will be selected for one of the reconstruction hospitals, td be erected for the reception of wounded soldiers and sailors. Both Fort Crook and Fort Omaha are under serious 'consideration in the surgeon generals department, with leanings toward Fort Crook. This matter was before the surgeon general some months ago, but was not pushed because of an understanding that the location of these reconstruction hos pitals had virtually been aeciaea upon. It is now understood that Omaha has particular advantages for such a hos pital, and is being strongly urged upon War department officials by members of the Omaha delegation. Survey of Missouri. General Black, chief of engineers, after representations made to him by members of the delegation, including udge Kinkaid and Congressman .obeck that something must be done toward holding the Missouri river in its channel in and about South Sioux City, in Dakota county, Nebraska, has written a letter to Mr. Lobeck stating that the seriousness of the situation relative to the encroachment of the river on the Nebraska side is so press ing that he has decided to order a special survey of the river made, un der the engineer officer in charge of the upper reaches of the Missouri river, whose headquarters are at Sioux City. This will undoubtedly be made as soon as the engineer officer can get to it. Reception to Justice Smyth. At a meeting of the officers and executive committee of the Nebraska association held this tuning, it was decided that the association should tender a reception to Chief Justice and" Mrs. C. J. Smyth shortly after convening of congress in order that the Nebraska delegation with their wives might participate. Broken Bow Man Found Guilty of - Criminal Assault Broken Bow, Neb., Nov. 17.

Retailers to Work With Wholesalers on Food Price A committee of retailers will soon be appointed to work with a commit tee ot wholesalers aireaciy appoiniea and with the state food administration on the pVoblem of fixing prices on the staple commodities' mentioned by President "Vilson in his proclamation some weeks ago. When Mr., Wattles left for Wash ington some days ago his tentative plan on this matter was to have these two committees meet with the state food administration committee in con ference about once a week to fix a schedule . f prices' for the staple food stuffs to be maintained for a week at a time. ' . W. H. McCord is chairman of the wholesalers committee.

The nonsmkable ship, developed by French experts, is said to haye with stood toroedo attacie in a test in which four shots were fired into the hull and the only effect was to de stroy the cargo immediately surround ing the point of attack. Turks Prepare toTace ' British in Palestine London. Nov. 17. The Turkish forces which have been falling back before the British advance in Pal estine are apparently preparing to make a stand north of Jaffa, accord ing to today's official statement on Palestine operations. Gtneral Allenby, in charge of . the British campaign, reported this de velopment to the war office. Th? Turks were said to be attempting to prepare a position paralleling the Nahr Auir river, which empties into (he Mediterranean about four mites north of Jan. Pepper and Sugar Carried Into Fatherland in Great Quanti ties; Church Bell Supply of Brass Exhausted. (From the London Timet.) Do those grumblers among neutral nations ho deplore, the continuance of the waiver pfuse to reflect on the manner in which many of their countrymen are helping to prolong it? Unfortunately it is exceedingly diffi cult to impose a more than partial control on the traffic in contraband for so great is the temptation held out by hungry Germans to needy neutrals that these will run almost any risk and exercise incredible ingenuity in evading it. In spite of the good faith of the S. S. S. (Socicte Suisse de Surveillance), the vigilance of the frontier gendar merie or military police, and the care taken by the legations and consulates of the entente countries to keep the authorities informed of what .s going on under their noses, the quantity ot metals, rubber, pepper, cotton, wine, and silk that is finding its way into Germany even in this fourth winter of war is disconcerting to those whom circumstances compel to look on, helpless to arrest it. Child Like Innocence. As for the small smuggler, he, or more often she, is amusing rather than serious, marching up to the bar rier with a look of childlike innocence, and at times with a smirk of sophistry, and, with luck, getting through with a rucksack crammed with chocolate, tea, and tobacco, all of which will bring a profit of several hundred per cent at the next village. Nominally these bwiss or Germans living on the German side of the bor der, but earning their daily wage in Switzerland, were until recently al lowed to take out as much food as they needed for their own consump tion; but when, better late than never, the Swiss douaniers realized that they must be spending more money on each day's victuals than on a year's clothes, the allowance was appreciably curtailed. Germans Want Pepper. Among articles which have lately fetched the highest prices in Germany are pepper (said to be employed in the manufacture of lachrymatory shells) and saccharine. Both are com monly twisted up in little paper bags and thrown across the frontier to ac complices, though one enterprising cyclist, seeking profit on a higher scale, actually filled the frame of his. machine with pepper. His ingenuity would have met with its reward but for an unlucky jar which released some of the pepper. This found its way, as ill-luck would have it. to the nostrils of a customs official, and the pepper, as the cyclist, remained in Switzerland. Seductive Girls Aid. All manner of accomplices, includ ing dogs, children and seductive young women, wno distract tne attention 01 the sentries, are enlisted in this traf fic, and it is said that at the village of St. Ludwig alone, where smug gling is very captbly organized by the official German censor, 40 families live by it. Cotton and rubber are always wel come. A good deal of the rubber is shot out of catapults, and both the sender and receiver have developed surprising skill after months of prac tice, darkness being apparently no obstacle. For the transit of cotton feminine subtlety is available. Hundreds of young women used, until their little raud was detected, to earn high wages by merely passing the barrier, appar ently without luggage of any sort; ar rived at the appointed cache, they would divest their more or less shape ly limbs of voluminous cotton under clothing supplied by German agents on the Swiss side, taking in exchange such money as had been left for the purpose. All manner of metals, particularly brass and copper, were at all times eagerly sought by the German mili tary authorities, as not even the melt ing of all the fine church bells could keep pace with the demand. Farm Loan Associations Must Use Government Systems Washington. Nov. 17. A warning to farm loan associations against pur1 chase of private accounting systems was issued today by the federal farm loan board. The farm loan board at Washing ton has adopted a system of account ing and bookkeeping for national farm loan associations," said a state ment, "and will require books and ac counts to be kept strictly in accord ance with that system, so that any money invested in these patent schemes will be lost. 1 Oklahoma Men Die in Standard Oil Fire at Tulsa Tulsa, Okl., Nov. 17.
