Premier Declares Before First
Session cf War Leaders Men
Needed in View of Rus
sian Collapse.
(By AMWItd I'to.)
London, Nov. 21. "The collapse of
Russia and the recent reverse of
lialy make it even more imperative
than before that the United States
should send as many troops as pos
sible across the Atlantic as early as
possible," said Premier Lloyd George
before the meeting today of the Amer
ican war mission and the British war
cabinet
"I am anxious to know how soon
the first million men can be expected

The premier explained that British
hipping now was wholly employed in
war work, partly for the allies, partly
on British account, adding:
DEPENDS ON U. S. SHIPPING.
"Assuming that the submarine sit
uation gets no worse, the easing of
the position of the allies depends en
tirely upon the dates on which the
American program for the launching
of 6,000,000 tons of shipping, promised
for 1918, comes into practical effect.
"I have no doubt that with the
largest industrial resources of the
world, a most highly trained and
adaptable industrial population and
an exceptional national gift of organ
ization, the accomplishment of Amer
ica in the matter of ship building will
astonish everybody."
Take Stock of Resources.
The general work of the meeting
consisted in taking stock of the re
sources and needs of both countries
and, to some extent, of the continen
tal allies.
The premier said he wished to rec
ognize the eager earnestness with
which the people of the United States
are throwing themselves into the
great task.

"War, nothing but. war.
"A censorship shall be maintained
for diplomatic and military informa

disturbing peace at home, up to the
limits of respect, for opinions. A
press bureau will give advice, nothing
but 'advice, to all who solicit it.
"Some day, from Paris to the hum
blest village, shouts of acclamation
wilt greet our victorious standards,
stained with blood and tears and torn
by shells magnificent apparition of
our noble dead. That day, the great
est day of our race, after so many
other days of grandeur, it is in our
power to bring forth."
Premier Clemenceau read his dec

he spoke of France's debt to the dead,
his emotion was evidenced by trem
bling of the sheets in his hand. His
peroration was acclaimed by the whole
chamber with the exception of cer
tain unified socialists,
Three deputies of the right later
withdrew their interpellations on the
scandals, which now are being inves
tigated. Greeks Faithful to Allies, '
: Says Venizetos in Message
Washington, Hovi; 21. Elipthe-
rfous(Vlnizelos, the Greek premier,
now in London for the inter-allied
conferences, issued a statement today
to the Greeks of America. It was re
ceived here by cable as follows:
"I am happy at being able to ad
dress greetings from the capital of
the British empire to the Greeks over
the, seas, who in this most tragic
period of our national history, have
shown moral strength and faith un
shakable in the oolicv which draws its
principles from the very traditions of
the Hellenic race, The principles were
always in harmony with the ideals of
freedom of the great republic of
America. 1
"United Greece is faithful to the
compact entered into with the allies
and this unity is not impaired by
mischievous, isolated rumors and the
doings of a few organs which in some
parts of the world continue to sere
the fallen regime. We will now re
conquer those Macedonian provinces
which a treacherous policy handed to
our enemies.

Rio Grande Do Sul, Nov. 21.
Prominent German agitr.tors, includ
ing leading business men in this city,
are fleeing into Argentina.
Before martial law was declared
one of the first persons to leave was
a man named Bromberg, - wealthy
business men. Christian, Meissner,
the Austrian consul, whose attempt
to smuggle out interned German sail
ors led to the declaration of martial
law, has escaped into Paraguay
through Argentina.
Reports received here from Rio
Janeiro say the government is plan
ning wholesale arrests of spies in this
state. German schools are being
closed and German priests in Catholic
schools are being replaced by Bra
zilians. Keports of German unrest in the
states of Santa Catharina and Rio
Grande Do Sul are frequent, but the
government evidently has the aliens
well in hand and is in a position to
prevent a widespread revolt, unless
threatened by invasion by South
American neighbors, a contingency
which is widely rumored and gen
erally feared. In the western part of
this state the army is being increased
rapidly.
The Germans in this city and in
Porto Alegro have been quiet since
the destruction of their property last
week by enraged Brazilians as a re
sult of their continued agitation and
open insults to the Brazilian govern
ment after its declaration of war on
Germany.
Omaha Bridge Men Urge
New Rail Classification
(From a Staff Correponde,it.)
Washington, Nov. 21. (Special Tel
egram.) James M. Kelly and W. L.
Carey of the Omaha Structural Steel
Co., were in conference today with
Chairman Willard of the transporta
tion board urging that steel entering
into the fabrication of bridges, sugar
factories and other enterprises in
which the farmers are most vitally in
terested, be put in class B, class A
being devoted to munitions of war,
ship plates, armour, etc., being of the
very first importance and necessarily
taking precedence over every other
fabrication in their movement by rail.
The Omaha men, however, urged
that the building of sugar factories in
which steel is used, also in the con
struction of new bridges and the
strengthening of oi one is also ot
great importance especially to farm-
r. s I e
ing communities ana snouia ineretore
be given priority of movement over
material not especially needed in these
war times.
, It is thought the plea of the Omaha
men will have great weight with the
transportation board in making their
classification.
America Fin'ds Substitute
For German Salvarsan
Philadelphia, Nov. 21. Dr. Simon
Flexner, head of the Rockefeller in
stitute, today told the National Acad
emy of Science, in convention here,
that the Rockefeller institute had dis
covered an improved substitute for
salvarsan. The new chemical agent,
he said, is still unnamed. Soon, he
added, it would be given the medical
profession free.
"The new chemical has many ad
vantages over salvarsan," said Dr.
Flexner. "Where salvarsan formerly
cost $3.50 a dose, the improved sub
stitute costs about 5 cents a dose."
Salvarsan was a German product
under the control of German manu
facturers. Since the war it has been
impossible to import it, J

IN OIL DISTRICTS
Total Arrests May Run Into
Hundreds; Examine Men to
Ascertain Whether They
Evaded Draft.
(By Associated Pre.)
Kansas City, Nov. 21. Federal au
thorities began a roundup of Indus
trial Workers of the World agitators
in the middle west today. Official re
ports have been received here from
only one raid, thac at Augusta, Kan.,
where 22 were arrested, but unofficial
reports indicate numerous other ar
rests in the 1 Dorado and Augusta
oil districts, considered the focal point
of agitation that led to the placing of
armed ruards about oil properties.
Federal officers have intimated the
total of arrests may run into the hun
dreds. In preparation for the round
up, Oscar Schmitz, a special agent of
the Department of Justice, was sent to
Augusta to construct a large "bull
pen" in which to house the prisoners
and he reported the structure was
ready today.
Every man arrested will be ex
amined to determine whether he
evaded the draft regulation, it is
said, while those who can show they
are not membera of the Indus
trial Workers of the World will be re
leased. Those fho cannot show they
have business in the oil fields will be
handled by local or state authorities,
while any considered dangerous will
be dealt with by the government, the
officers stated.
The activities of the Industrial
Workers erf the World in the oil fields
of Kansas have been under observation
by Department of Justice investigat
ors for several weeks. The shipping
of Industrial Workers of the World
members to Tulsa, Okl, augmented
the Industrial Workers of the World
forces from Oklahoma and stickers
bearing the picture of an angry black
cat and the word "sabotage" appeared.
This was followed by several myste
rious fires and the placing of the
armed guards.
Omahans in Capital.

New York and Charles L. Dundey of
Omaha are in Washington on busi
ness before the patent office.
E, P. Peck and .E. H, .Westbrook,
well known grain dealers of Omaha,
who arrived in Washington yesterday,
were in conference today with officials
connected with the food administra
tion. They left tonight for the west.
A
movement of small coins will continue
through December to accommodate
holiday shopping demands in eastern
cities.
Within the six weeks ending Novem
ber 15, 62,600,000 new pennies and rail
lions of new nickels were put into
circulation by the treasury. The per
sistent shortage of these coins, even
making allowances for the heavy de
mand for cents caused by war taxes,
has caused officials to suspect that a
number of retail merchants are hoard
ing "change" for the holiday rush.

New York, Nov. 21. Disheveled
long haired and unshaven, Charles

age, found in a cellar where he had

brought into the federal court today
for evading the draft, said to the
judge:
"I evaded the draft because I am
afraid to go to war."
Regan appeared delighted when
he was sentenced to jail for six
months.
T. R. URGES SUFFS
TO SUPPORT WAR
Big Mass Meeting Celebrating
New York Victory Reminded
of Duty Which Vote
Entails.
(By Associated PreM.)
New York, Nov. 21. Responsibil
ities the women of New York state
have inherited through their enfran
chisement were outlined by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt at a mass meet
ing tonight in the Metropolitan Opera
house in celebration of the recent
woman suffrage victory. Governor
Whitman and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw
were other speakers.
Colonel Roosevelt aroused the en
thusiasm of the women when he ex
pressed the hope that the federal wo
man suffrage amendment would soon
be adopted. Then he said he would
speak to them about their newly ac
quired "heavy responsibilities."
"Hitherto my appeal has been that
you be given a right," he said, "to
which in my judgment you were en
titled. Now you have been given
this right. Now my appeal is not for
you, but to you. Now I most earnest
ly and solemnly ask that you will well
and faithfully perform the duty which
the giving of the right entails."
Women commit "moral treason"
against the United States, who do not
insist that the war be fought to a vic
torious conclusion, Colonel Roosevelt
declared.

Washington, Nov. 21. Small coin
for the shopping public is being

ment will continue until the holiday
rush is over next month.
