PRESIDENT HIMSELF
TO BE HEAD OF U. S.
PEACE DELEGATION
Other Members: Robert Lansing, Secretary of State,
Col. E. M. House, Henry White, Republican, and
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss; Wilson Not Expected
to Remain Throughout Conferences.
' Washington, Nov. 29. President Wilson himself will
head the American representation at the peace conference.
This was announced officially tonight at the White House.
The other members of the delegation will be:
Robert Lansing, secretary of state.
Col. E. M. House.
. Henry White, former ambassador to France and Italy.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, former chief of staff of the army
and now American military representative on the supreme
war council at Versailles.
member.
In the absence of any official ex
planation it was assumed that the
president goes as president of the
United States and that Secretary
Lansing, Mr. White and Colonel
House and possibly also General
Bliss will be delegates with -ambassadorial
rank.
Bliss Added at Last Moment.
There was only one surprise in
the statement the appearance of
the name of 'General. Bliss as one
of the representatives. It had been
taken for granted that the general
military representative of the United
States on the supreme ..war council
would take part in the discussions
at Versailles, but the general idea
bad beet, that the general was at
tached to the delegation in a mili
tary capacity just as Admiral Ben
son probably will be "presenj as
spokesman for. the navy irt;the great
naval problems to be solved.
Only yesterday callers at the
White House gained the distinct
impression that there would be but
three accredited delegates of full
rank. It was suggested tonight that
the name of General Bliss probabi?
was added at the last moment upon
receipt of information that the allied
powers would include a military man
among their representation.
Root Unwilling To Serve.
In early speculation as to the
probable personnel of the peace
delegation Elihu Root, formersec
retary of state, and Louis Brandeis,
associate justice of the supreme
court, were considered in well in
formed quarters almost certain to
be chosen. Recently it has been
said that Mr. Root did not care to
undertake the mission and that Jus
tice Brandeis would not be able to
leave the country because of his
work in the court.

MOTHER AND HER

Fjre With Kerosene;
. Rescuer Too Late; :
V- . y. ,v ' V
In attempting , to make a fife' with
kerosene in a small heating stove
yesterday morning, Mm. Anna Dro
bens, 1248 South Fourteenth street,
and her 18-mcnths-old baby, Olga,
were fatally burned. The baby dieB
in a short time, and the mother a
few hours later.
It is believed - Mr- ' Drobens
poured' kerosene on some kindling
in the stove, and, holding the kero
sene can in one hand, attempted to
light the kindling. She spilled oil on
her dress, which became ignited. '
With her clothes aflame, Mrs.
Drobens ran out of the house call
ing for help. Frank Nemec,
a neighbor, rushed to her rescue,
and rolled her in snow until her
burning dress was extinguished.
The baby daughter, who had been
playing on the floor near the stove,
was fatally burned before Nemec
could rescue her.
Both the mother and child were
taken to the St. Joseph hospital,
the baby dying almost immediately,
and the mother several hours later.
Mrs. Drobens is survived by her
husband, Carl, and a daughter,
Mary, 3 years old. She met her
husband in Minsk, Russia, just be
fore he sailed for America. Shortly
after he arrived in America he
wrote her to come to America and
share his new found paradise. They
were married in Omaha five years
ago, shortly before the outbreak of
the war.
Mr. Drobens, employed at the
Burlington freight depot, was noti
fied of the tragedy shortly after its
occurrence. His sorrow is so great
that he scarcely has uttered a word
since.
The sntall Drobens home, which
was a continual source of joy for
the young wife and husband, was
little damaged by-the flames.
A double funeral will be held
Sunday afternoon at the Janda Un
dertaking establishment.

Wonderful Change Wrought
in' Germany by Revolution
Berne, Nov. 29. The amazing
changes in Germany, especially to
those who know the stern system of
former days, are illustrated by many
stories brought to Switzerland from
Germany by travelers.
A Dutch diplomatic, courier' tells
of his first trip after the breakup
of the empire. He was unable to
get farther ' than Cologne because
there was no room in the railway
trains. He went to the workmen's
and soldiers' council to apply for a
seat on a southbound train. He
found a group of common soldiers
seated in a big room, joking and
smoking and spitting on the floor.
The leader of the soldiers asked
the courier what kind of treatment
the German couriers received in
Holland. On learning that they
were given an entire railway com
partment, the soldier said he guess
ed the Dutch should have the same
privilege in Germany.
He told the courier to go to the
military commandant's office. There
the courier found an old-time officer
who, at first, sternly refused per
mission. He granted it instantly,
however, when told that the soldiers
had given their permission.
On the train the courier found a
general at a table. Soon three com
mon soldiers entered and seated
themselves at the general's table.
Without saluting, or even noticing
the general, they began to eat.
Another new arrival in Switzer
land is a Russian who entered Ger
many by way of Brest-Litovsk and
Warsaw. He was worried lest hiS
marked Russian accent malte trou
ble, so he did not talk for hours.
Finally, however, speech became ino
perative. His fellow travelers de
manded his identity and when the
Russian revealed it, they fairly de
luged him with attention.
The Russian reached Switzerland
convinced that the Germans in over
turning their government also over
turned most of theirv customs. He
said their habits of thinking had
changed as no one ever had be
lieved possible.

Suit Costs $500 in Vienna;
Shoes $60 to $90 Per Pair
Berne, Switzerland, Nor. 29.
Food was so expensive in Vienna
that a meager, unpalatable and un
satisfactory meal cost from $4 up.
Clothes were so scarce that a me
diocre suit cost $500, and shoes, $60

OMAHA OFFICERS
MAKE FLIGHTS
AT WASHINGTON
Major Ashton, Captain Palmer
and Lieutenant Thummell
Do Sensational Stunts
Over Capital City.
Maj. Fred W. Ashton of Grand
Island, Neb., Capt. Harry O. Palmer
and-Lt. George Thummel, both of
Omaha, all made J airplane flights
over Washington last Tuesday." The
Nebraska officers were taken up
from Boiling Field, near Washing
ton, in three airships and ascended
2,000 feet into the air. The pilots
performed stunts and the local men
participated in real acrobatic flying.
Lieutenant Thummel's pilot was
Lieutenant Post, son of Captain
Post, famous balloonist who was
formerly an instructor at Fort Oma
ha. Takes Real Flight. i
Captain Palmer tells the story:
"As we left the ground my pilot
asked, 'Do you want a real flight?' I
nodded and, believe me, he sure
gave me all he had. We did every
new turn my pilot knew. I thought
I was getting something that the
major and Thummel were missing,
when I looked down and about a
thousand feet below us Pilot Lieu
tenant Boggs was doing a loop the
loop with Major Ashton and near
us Thummel was going down in a
spinning nose dive.
"While we were humming along at
about 4,000 feet the propellor seem
ed to slow down suddenly and then
almost stopped. I heard my pilot
asking, 'Are you cold, Captain?' I
shook my head and he added, 'I
thought if you were we would just
slide along like this for a while.'
Then like a shot he dropped about
a thousand feet, looped the loop, did
a slide slip and a fallen leaf, then
: righted and sailed away again.
Then Came Loops,
j "The next time he stopped the
1 motor he told me that he had done
the same thing with Lewis Burgess,
, (son of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Burgess
: of Omaha,) the day before. Then he
added. You Nebraskans seem to like
! this air sport?' I nodded and he said,
Now we 11 jazz a little, and we sure
did jazz. We Immelmanned and
dipped and looped and then descend
ed to about 900 feef and as we were
coming down I saw Major Alton's
ship narrowly escape being smashed
by another flyer who missed him
by only 10 or 12 feet. It, was some
experience and the pilots seemed to
enjoy shaking us up." s
Epirots Ask Release from

New York, Nov. 29. The Italian

miers Clemenceau, Lloyd George and
Venizelos by the Pan-Epirotic union
in America of which Dr. John Gat

Germany must pay the cost of th '
war to the limit of its capacity, Pre
mier Lloyd George declared.
The submarine pirates must bi
punished, the premier added,, and
whoever devastated the lands of an-,
other country ought to be respon-'
sible for it. 1
Plan Stern Investigation.
Referring to the culpability of the
authors of the 'war, Mr. Lloyd
George said the government intend
ed that the investigation to be con
ducted should be a perfectly fair but
a stern one, and that it should go
on to its final reckoning.
"I mean to see that the men who .
did, not treat our prisoners hu
manely be made responsible,'! the
premier declared. ..He added that he
did not wish to pursue a policy of
vengeance, but declared:
"We have got so to act that men -in
the future who feel tempted to"
follow the example of the rulers who
plunged the, world into war . will
know what" is waiting for them at
the end."
Germany, Mr. Lloyd George said,
would not be allowed to pay her in-,
demnity by dumping cheap goods in
this country. ' ! ..
Punishment Merited.
"We are now approaching the
peace conference," the premier said.
"The price of victory is not ven
geance, nor retribution. It is pre
vention. First of all what about
those people whom we have received
without question for years to our
shores; to whom we have given
equal rights with our own sons and
daughters and who abused that hos
pitality to betray the land, to plot
against security, to spy upon it and
to gain such information as enabled
the Prussian war lords to inflict, not
punishment, but damage and injury
on the land that had received them
as guests? Never again" .
Mr. Lloyd George said, the in- '
terests of security and fair play
demanded that it should be made
perfectly clear that the people who
acted in this way merited punish
ment for the damage they had in
flicted. Huns Must Settle Cost
