Pn the Turkish front the advan

Russia and Russia was forced to
give up Ardahan, Kars and Batum
only because Germany was the ally of
Turkey. The responsibility for all
thehorrors which the Armenian pop

regions already occupied by the Turk

German government, which directly
helped Turkey to secure these regions.

VIENNA "EXPLAINS"
LETTER EPISODE
Mi3s:vc, Publication of Which
Is likened to Bomb, Said to
Have Been Written by
Empress Zita.
(From a Staff C'orrtapondviu.)
Washington, April 14. The Aus
trian semi-official explanation of the
peace letter of Emperor Charles, ac
cording to a dispatch today from
France, is that it was written by the
Duchess of Tarma, mother of the Em
press Zita, to her con, Count Sixtus
De Bourbon, and that the emperor
must have added certain lines over his
signature. The Vienna view is that
this explains how Premier Clemen-
ceau was able to say that the letter
was signed by the emperor.
The dispatch from France con
cludes: "The following information was
telegraphed Friday evening from
Berne, which gives us an idea of the
effect which may be produced by the
revelations of Mr. Clemenceau. It
has been possible this morning to note
the impression caused by this publi
cation among the journalists of the
central powers living at Berne. Dur
ing an extremely animated conversa
tion this morning in which several J
- -J A. ! f . . i 1
vjcrnian ami .Austrian journalists iook
part, one of them exclaimed wiih the
approval of his interlocutors 'It is a
veritable bomb that has just exploded.
He will have to abdicate.'
"Before the publication of the text
of the letter the Austro-German press,
conforming it!i the insane lies of
the Emperor Charles I and his minis
ter, had the audacity to declare that
it was a pure invention. The confu
sion produced in the camps of the
central empires rnust be nearly as
great as was their impudence of yes
terday. They will attempt to throw
the responsibility for the famous let
ter upon certain members of trie im
perial family."

Flint, Mich., April 14. Genesee
county authorities have began an
investigation of the tarring and

Harley Stafford at Montrose, near
here.
A party of more than 60 persons,
including a score of women, went to
the home of Mrs. Stafford, where
men bound her husband while the
women took her outside and applied
a coating of tar and feathers.
The party charged Mrs. Stafford

Give First Aid.
While a hurried call was sent to the
Omaha police, to neighboring physi
cians and hospitals for ambulances,
automobilists who were passing at the
time of the accident, helped in carry
ing tne injured to places ot retuge.
All the injured were taken to the home
of Dr. A. B. Adams, where they were
given first aid. Doctors Adams and
Foltz worked heroically in caring for
the maimed. The rooms of the house
filled with injured displayed a pitiable
sight of sorrow and suffering.
Detective Van Deusen happened
upon the scene at the instant of the
accident and assisted in taking some
of the injured to Dr. Adams' home.
Several of the injured were found
in the automobile.
Family In Hospital.
At the Nicholas Senn hospital, the
Rabiolo family, which had already
suffered three deaths, huddled to
gether in the examing room, waiting
for the hospital physician and nurses
to get ready for operations.
Sam Rabiolo, the father of the fam
ily, while badly hurt himself, rushed
iom one member of the little flock
to the other administering loving
wbrds of encouragement. His wife,
perhaps fatally injured, sat in a chair,
while little five year old Charles lay
on a table, unconscious.
Francis Costentino, seven years old,
was at the Nicholas Senn hospital
with the injured. Whether she was in
the automobile when the s,mash came
is in doubt. None of the nurses knew
whence she came, although she was
a friend of the Rabiolo family. She
was not injured, and spent her be
wildrered moments running from one
of the injured to the other, but brave
ly holding back tears.
Little Charles Rabiolo is badly in
jured, while internal injuries may de
velop. Pathetic Scenes.
Relatives and friends of the injured
ew ernotified from the hospital by Dr.
Nigro, who also is an Italian. When
they arrived at the hospital, pathetic
scenes ensued. Nurses and doctors
found much difficulty in keeping them
out of the wards.
Practically all the nurses of the
hospital were ready and waiting for
the ambulances as they arrived at the
nospiiai.- , . . j
As fast as the ooeratint room could
be cleared, the injured were rushed
upstairs for fina.1 dressings and ex
amination.
Mrs. Joseoliine Rabiolo. wife of
Sam Rabiolo, who suffered severe in
ternal injuries, moaned pitifully as
she sat in a hospital chair, attempting
feebly to smile at her little son.
Accepts Gift of Ride.
Sam Rabiolo, who conducts a gro
cery store at bixteenth and Cass
streets, was overjoyed at the invita
tion of Alfred Catania to -take his
family 6ut on the beautiful Sunday
for a ride in the country. They had
been far out in the wood, gathering
flowers and eating lunch and were
nearing the end of a Derfect holiday
when the terrible accident occurred.
Little Carmello Rabiolo. the infant
instantly killed, only Sunday morn
ing, a few hours before the fatal ride
began, was baptised in the Italian
church. It was a proud moment for
the father and mother.
The bodies of little Carmello
Rabiolo, Sam Rina and Mrs. Nancy
Parisi were taken to the Taeeart
undertaking establishment. Marie
Rabiolo was taken to Crosby s rooms.
JJrs. L. A. Adams, or rlorence and

were the first physicians to arrive at
the scene. They administered first
aid.
No Arrests Made.

injured, and taking them to the of
fice of Dr. A. B. Adams. 8406 North
Thirtieth street, Sergeant Carney and

E. Fay, engineer, and W. H. Ehrlick,
fireman, were taken to the Central
police station, where County Attorney
Magney conducted an immediate in
vestigation. No arrests were made.
An inquest will be held as soon
as possible," County Attorney Mag
ney said. "So far, I find the whole
matter purely accidental."
Story of Engineer.
A. K. Limes, engineer on the head
engine, said: I did not know I was
upon the automobile until the train
struck it, and then I applied the
emergency brakes. I saw little girl
lyinsf on the pilot of the engine and
I climbed out after her. She u
found to have suffered only slight in
juries. Members of the train crew
helped pick up the injured. The train
nad just emerged from a railroad cut
and on account of my right side posi
tion in ine caD, i was unable to see
the automobile crossing the tracks
from the north. Kolb, firemen in the
cab with me, shouted to me to apply
tne oraices just as tne tram struck
the car.
"I looked ahead only to see the
automobile knocked aside on the
south side of the tracks"
" Too Lata for Brakes.
George Kolb. fireman on the head
engihe, said: "I saw the automobile
filled with people, and a man driving,
as it was On the tracks. 1 shouted to
Limes to apply the brakes, but it was
already too late. On account of the
layout of the trackage along there, we
are unable to see automobiles coming
until we are on the crossing."

CONCRETE SHIPPING
TO BEGIVEN TEST
President Wilson Approves
Suggestion for Appropriation
of $50,000,000 for Experi
ments; No Opposition.
(By AaaorUted Free.)
Washington, April 14. President
Wilson has approved the shipping
board's suggestion for an appropria
tion of $50,000,000 to experiment with
concrete ships. Chairman Hurley will
confer Monday with Chairman Shir
ley of the house appropriation com
mittee who has promised to introduce
the appropriation bill immediately and
press its passage. No opposition to
the measure is expected in either
house. It is planned to make $15,000,
000 availabls at once.
The president is said to be keenly
interested ir. the new type of con
struction. He has talked several
times with Mr. Hurley, Senator Mc
Cumber, who is urging the appropria
tion in the aenate, and other officials
who believe concrete ships will prove
an important link in the "bridge
across the Atlantic."
Chairman Hurley frankly has said
concrete construction is an experi
ment, but t:i2t the shipping board
does not feel warranted to pass over
any possibility of turning out ships
quickly bectuse the experiment may
not prove a success.

"Recent haDoenines in several oarts
of the country show a deplorable lack
of restraint on the part of the Ameri

take the law in their own hands in
dealing with traitors or supposed
traitors he said.
"Where a disloyal man or an enemy
agent is found he should be turned
over to the proper United States au
thorities who will be found fully pre

manner. Your country expects of
you during the continuance of this
war exemplary conduct in every way,
sober thought and lawful action and I
am confident that you will not be
found wanting."

Daniels Predicts Failure
Of German Drive in France
New York, April 14. Failure of the
latest German drive in Flanders and
France, "the supreme struggle of
autocracy," was predicted by
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, in an address here tonight be
fore the National Democratic club."
The chief speaker at the club's
celebration of .the 175th anniversary
of the bjrth of Thomas Jefferson.
Secretary Daniels said that we now
are seeing fulfilled Jefferson's proph
ecy concerning France and the United
States that "mutual good offices,
mutual affection and similar principles
of government seem to destine the
two nations for the most intimate
communion."
"The mortal conflict between de
spotism and democracy is on," said
Mr. Daniels, "Never doubt the end,
even in the darkest hour. God rules
in the heavens. AH will be well with
the world and the fate that befell the
Napoleons and the Ceasars and the
Hannibals will befall the Kaiser."
Firing Squad Just Due
For Acts of Disloyalty
Sioux Falls, S. D., April 14. The
firing squad against a stone wall at
sunrise" was recommended as the
penalty for acts of disloyalty by Fed
eral Judge J. D. Elliott in the United
States district court yesterday, in
sentencing Henry Homan, a Spanish
American war veteran, who pleaded
guilty to violating the espionage act.
Homan, who was indicted for dis
loyal utterances in connection with
the announcement of the death of
Major Augustus r. oardner, m a
southern training camo. was fined
$1,000. Homan's act, the court de
clared, was inconsistent with the en
tire history of his life.
The firing sauad against a stone
rall at sunrise." Tudare Elliott de
clared, "is the only penalty that is
commensurate with the offense; that
is, if there is nothing more severe."

WATTLES URGES
BETTER USE OF
HOME SUPPLIES
Nebraska Food Administrator
Points Out the Necessity of
Consumption of Home
Grown Products.
"Use home supplies in season. That
is the first'law of conservation," says
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator for Nebraska.
"Compliance with this law will
greatly assist the conservation plans,
and will permit release of flour and
suar for export to the allies.
"Increased consumption of eggs,
milk and potatoes, three of the-great
products of Nebraska will give added
impetus" to the appeal to conserve
flour and sugar, which the allies and
our boys in the trenches so badly
need. Moreover, the use of these
products will in no wise interfere with
the health and nourishment of our
people.
"Milk is in season. Milk is both
meat and drink. It furnishes easy
energy to the system. It has a hun
dred uses. It may be served as a
beverage, as a soup;, it may be made
the foundation of the main dish at
the m'eal, or it may be made into a
delightful dessert. It adds strength
to the body; it furnishes motive
power. It is inexpensive in compari
son with other foods, more often used.
Eggs Are Nutritious.
"Likewise eggs are a highly nutri
tive food. Just now they are plenti
ful, and comparatively cheap. Substi
tution of eggs in the daily diet will
be. of inestimable value to the in
dividual and will permit the use of
much less wheat.
"Then comes potatoes, one of Ne
braska's greatest crops and of which
there is a plentiful supply. Potatoes
may be used to a large degree in the
place of wheat flour and may entirely
replace wheat bread. Potatoes are
cheap, when their food value is taken
into consideration.
"With plentiful use of these pro
ducts, our people will be enabled to
get along with much less wheat:
"You cannot use too much of these
foodstuffs. You are doing a patriotic
service in that you are making pos
sible greater exports of wheat and
sugar; and you are relieving trans
portation difficulties which will per
mit the prompt shipments of the
necessary exportable foods.
On Scientific Principles.
"Very few people know of the de
tailed or scientific investigations that
are being made by the food adminis
tration and Mr. Hoover. The public
hear mostly of maximum prices and
kitchen regulations.
"It will surprise householders to
know that last month 100,000 pounds
of flour and foods were removed from
sailing ships in New York harbor.
This amount the government con
sidered beyond the necessary require
nents of these ships. Consumption
on ships has been eight to nine
pounds per man per day. The food
administration has cut this to six. In
some instance consumption has been
reduced to four and one-half pounds
per man.
Data on High Prices.
"The food administration is col
lecting some remarkable data, show
ing the effect of high prices and the
restrictions upon consumption of va
rious war necessities. These statistics
indicate that the rising prices, which
have been noted for the last 18
months, now show a declining
tendency in many quarters, especially
in wheat substitutes, where there are
enlarged facilities for manufacturing
and distribution.
"Some criticism has been directed
at the food administration for inter
fering with the laws of supply and
demand in regard to sugar.
"At Nassua, in the Bahama islands,
off the coast of Florida, and where
there is no interference, or no food
administration, and in Cuba, under
similar conditions, the price of sugar
is 25 cents per pound.
"That is the answer to Mr.
Hoovers interference and it is a big
answer to the consumer."

International Organization to
Make Germany Political and
Commercial Outcast Ad
vocated by Owen.
(By Aaaotlated Praa.)
New York, April 14. An organiza
tion of belligerent and neutral nations
which would make Germany a poli
tical and commercial outcast among
the people's of the world unless she
agreed to certain elements of inter
national government and "those prin
ciples which -are recognized as true
by the United States. Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan," was ad
vocated by United States. Senator
Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma in ad
dressing a luncheon of the National
Security league here today.
Having declared for these principles
of international government, including
disarmament at the end of the war
and other policies set forth by Presi
dent Wilson, Senator Owen said this
compact of nations should say to these
captains of German industry "You
sought to rob us we do not desire
to rob you, but we say,, to you that
unless you underwrite these great
principles of international government
unless youusc your influence to
bring this war to an end we will after
a limited number of months impose
upon you the following penalties."
Penalties Proposed.
The speaker then enumerated the
exclusion from all ports of the" con
federated nations of all German
shipping; the banning of importation
of German made goods and of the
exporting "directly or indirectly," of
any manufactures or other articles or
commerce into Germany; the seizure
of German-owned property in the
nations of the confederacy and its
sale to indemnify "any of our nation
als who have property in Germany,"
the severance of all communication
with Germany and a declaration that
"we will isolate you as far as we
have the pov;er for a limited time,
until you shall have learned the les
sons that you cannot, by organizing
military force rob the other people
'of the world of their property or of
their liberties."
United States Senator Warren G.
Harding, of Ohio, another speaker,
emphasized the importance of ship
ping. "If we are going to apply the
'taboo Teutonic' to which Senator
Owen so well alluded" he said, "then
we must join, the nations of civiliza
tion in commanding the seas, both
armed and unarmed."
