CITY FILES NEW
SUIT AGAINST
STRICT CAR CO.
Amended Petition Seeks to
Have All Property Turned
Over to Omaha; Based
On New Contention.
A court decree ordering the Omaha
and Council Blutfs Street Railway
company to turn over to the city its
entire street railway property in the
city of Omaha, instead of merely an
accounting for a portion of its value,
is sought in the amended petition
tiled by Corporation Counsel Lam
bert. A judgment against the street
car company for its earnings since
January 1, 191, is also asked.
The original petition was based
upon the theory. that approximately
SO per cent of the value of the preseiif
street railway system was traceable
to the old Omaha Horse Car Railway
company property which, by its fran
chise, became tiie property of the city
on January 1, 1917. Judges Redick
Troup and Day recently. Vuled that
this property value could not be
traced in the present street car prop
erty. New Allegations Made.
The amended petition is based upon
a new contention and introduces a
new set of facts and alleges that the
city is entitled to all the street tail
way property under the provision in
the Jlorse Car Railway' company's
franchise providing for a reversion to
the city in 1917.
The amended petition alleges that
the Omaha and Council Bluffs street
railway company operates in Omaha
only by the authority of the old Horse
Car company franchise granted in
1867 and enlarged in 1889. This, it is
claimed, is the only valid franchise in
existence among all the companies
consolidated into the present system.
Operating under the old Horse Car
company franchise, under which 3b
miles of track, stations and equip
ment were installed on the streets of
Omaha, the company added to its sys
tem the property of five other street
railway companies., uir vamc i i am-

NEEDS OF ARMY
$6,610,000,000
Washington, Dec. 21. The army
appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year, on which the house military
committee was to resume hearings
January 3, probably will carry close
to $5,000,000,000 for the whole military
establishment, exclsive of fortifica
tions and field artillery guns, which
will be provided for by the appropria
tions committee. The bill is ex
pected to be ready about February 1.
The total army appropriation esti
mates sent to congress by the War
department aggregates $6,610,000,000.
"The military committee will give
the War department everything that
the department reasonably can con
vince the committee that they need,"
said Chairman Dent today. "We call
up the bureau chiefs and then ask
Secretary Raker to appear" to go
over his military policies. The ses
sions will be executive, because of
the military secrets involved."

"Well, cook, what can I do for
you this morning?" asked the
doctor.
"Seven of us out here want to.
get Red Cross memberships. The.
smallpox patients can not get down
town just now and they asked me
to arrange the matter for them,"
replied the cook.
"Have you got the money?"
queried the doctor.
"I have," answered the cook.
"Well, I will arrange for the
memberships and you can leave
the money at my office next time
you come downtown," answered the
doctor.
CLOTHING FOR
MILLION TROOPS
General Sharpe Testifies That
Full Equipments Were Con
tracted for in Advance of
Appropriations.
Washington, Dec. 21. Without
waiting for congressional appropria
tions,, the War department authorised
orders tor supplies for 1,000,000
troops before the United Slates went

HERMAN EMPIRE
SORELY WOUNDS
THE ARGENTINES
Last Disclosure of Teutonic
Trickery Makes Rupture
Almost Certain is View
of Diplomats.
Washington, Dec. 21. Declaration
of war against Germany by Argenna
was regarded as almost certain in
Latin-American diplomatic circles to
day as the result of new evidences of
German trickery disclosed simultane
ously in Washington and r.tienos
Aires last night by publication of an
other series of telegrams between the
notorious Count Lujsburg of "spurlos
versankt" fame and the Berlin for-
n office. . ,
Luxburg, fan&er charge in Buenos
Aires, in a message dated August 1
last, informed his foreign ofhc that
President Iriftuven of Argentina had
at hst made up his mind to negotiate
a secret agreement with Chile and bo
livia for ' protection against North
America. Another telegram intimated
an citempt would be made to include
Peru, and the plan was to be per-
Mcted, according to Luxburg s com
munication of August 1, "before the
conference idea is taken up ugain."
The "conference idea" is assumed to
be the proposed Latin-American neu
trality conference, advocated by rres
ident Carranza and widely discussed
in South America. The secret agree
ment referred to may explain recent
South American reports of President
Irigoyen's proposals for a league of
South American nations.
Denounced as Falsehoods.
The messages, 40 in number, wcr
made public by the State department
through an agreement with the Ar
gentine government and were accom
panied by a statement by Foreign
Minister Puerreydon, in which he
says the "inaccuracies" of the Ger
man charge's report are so surprising
that no epithet will fit them.
The messages were sent to Argen
tina soon after the State department
I gave out the first series, in which Lux
I lung advised his government to sink
Argentine ships without trace, hut
heretofore demands for their publica
tion have been in vain. The first
series were transmitted through the
Swedish legation at Buenos Aires, but
the means of communication used for
the latest batch sent during July, Au
gust and September was not disclosed,
except that ome of the first series
telegrams were included in these made
public last night.

world, so that the shells would fall on
open ground at the targets. The fir
ing continued all day, the terrific ex
plosions shaking the houses in. the
territory and being heard at a dis
tance of many miles.
After a certain period the American
gunners will begin firing with the 400
milimeter pieces so that by the time
they get into action they will be as
familiar with the gun as their com
rades now are with the 75s.

Among the heavy guns with which
the Americans have begun working
are big howitzers of a certain caliber,
which are declared to be among the
most powerful weapons the war has
produced.
Opposition to the Bolsheviki ap
parently is increasing in Russia as
reports of German support of the
Maximalist government become more
pronounced and the situation in Rus
sia grows more chaotic, while the Bol
sheviki endeavor to arrange a sepa
rate peace with the central powers.
The Ukraine, in its hostility to the
Bolsheviki government, has been
joined by the Russian staff on the
southwestern frqnt and General
Stcherbatcheff, the commander in
Roumania, has been appointed head
of the Ukrainian forces reported to
be marching against the Bolsheviki.
Another report reaching London
says that the Roumanians have join.. I
the Ukrainians, while other dispatches
declare that former Premier Keren
sky is marching against Moscow and
that Grand Duke Nicholas is raising
a royalist am. in the Caucasus.
Meanwhile, diplomats of the central
powers are hurrying to begin peace
negotiations with the Bolsheviki. On
leaving Berlin the German emissaries
were urged by the populace to make
"a strong peace."
The Izvestia at Petrograd, a Bol
sheviki organ, publishes what it says
is the textof the secret treaty drawn
up last yelr providing for joirt ac
tion y Russia and Japatr to prevent
any third country from achieving po
litical dominance in China. The treaty,
dated July .1,, runs for five

Soldiers Rioting in Petrograd.
Petrograd, Thursday, Dec. 20. In
cessant fighting has occurred in many
parts of Petrograd in connection with
the efforts to check drunkenness and
prevent the raiding of wine cellars.
A mob raided one distillery where
I s soldiers drank themselves to death.
Fifteen persons were killed and
wounded when an armored motor
ear attacked the distillery, which was
set on lire.
The lire department was prevented
from extinguishing the bjaze by
rowdies, and many persons were
burned before the situation was
brought under control.
The streets arc running with wine
in many sections, where the soldiers
arc pumping wine out of the cellars
to prevent disorder.
Treaty Not Directed at U. S.
Washington, Dec. 21. American
official;) said today they had no
knowledge of -the so-called secret
treaty between Russia and Japan de
scribed in the Petrograd dispatches,
but they considered that to describe
it as contemplating "joint armed dem
onstration against America and Great
Britain in the far east" was not borne
out by the text of the published ar
ticles. There is a possibility that the
treaty referred to is the special con
vention concluded between Russia
and Japan at about the same time as
the so-called secret treaty. It was
generally assumed here that the
treaty contained some secret pro
visions, but its purpose was described
as being to safeguard the rights of
Japan and Russia in the far east; to
reconcile all outstanding issues be
tween them , and generally to follow
the lines of the Anglo-Japanese al
liance. At that time it was supposed that
the secret articles provided for the
sale by Russia to Japan of all of the
Mauchurian railroads south of Har
bin; the transfer to Japan of naviga
tion rights in the Sugari river and the
extension of fishing rights off the
coast of Siberia.
Will Not Ask Explanation.
It is improbable that the United
States government alone will make
any effort to secure an explanation
of the meaning and purpose of these
secret treaties from the principals,
but it is rather expected that one of
the other of them voluntarily will
come forward with a statement.
