French diplo c matic service and financial advisor to the French high commission in the lUnited States, arrived in Omaha Fri day morning and will r?mam here un til Saturday evening. He is accom- ... panied by Lt Paul Verdier, . military attache, who' was a San Francisco merchant before the war. M. Casenave is, the polished diplo mat with hearty laugh, ready jest, palm beach suit and cane. He has been in the French diplomatic service in Paris, Greece, Japan, Germany and Russia and was charge d'affaires in ' China for 12 years. They arrived in Omaha a day ahead ; of schedule because the person who - arranged the schedule of the trip thought it took two days to travel from Denver to Omaha.

Casenave will speak at the Chamber of Commerce ' , . on the financial aspects of the war. When the heat today rtras men tioned to the diplomat at an inter view, he said: "This is warm, but in , Peking, China, where I was for 12 summers, ah, there it gets really hot. . I experienced a little of such heat as we passed through, the desert of , Arizona a few days ago." He was much interested in the pic- ture of Logan Fontenelle in the hotel lobby andMn the narration of the : part the Foritenelles, the La Fleschs and other Frenchmen played in the country's early history. "In the first place," he laughed, before interviewers had asked him a ' question, "I wish to state that allied : Intervention in Russia is imperative. Requires Policeman. "Russia requires a ooliceman," he aid, "and if the allies 'do not be the policeman the Germans may be. But the Russians hate the Germans. Ig norance on the part of the Russian peasantry, however, must be reckoned with and it is impossible to say how v the German rjight play on this ignor ance if they are given a free hand." . Lieutenam Verdier spoke in highest terms of the American soldiers at the 1- front. . "Their presence added so much to the morale of our troops,"' he declared. "We get the newspapers every day in the trenches and every dav we would " read that the Americans are coming. In the last two( months we have seen them and' the latest battle shows that they are real fighting men. At last we have the offensive. J would three times rather be on the offensive than - cn the defensive. The morale of the troops is better and the losses are smaller when the army is on the offen-i live that when on the defensive. "The French army .today is nearly as large as it owas when the war started. Our losses in the early ! months were comparatively very large j because we were not prepared. it . was two years before we had suffi cient guns supplied. We have mobil ized 7,500,000 .men from our popula- tion of 38,000,00, About 2.500.000 have i been killed or maimed and we have now about 4,000,000 men in the field." barber's Arrest Explained By Commissioner Ringer An investigation by City.
