Woman Wanted on White Slavery Charge, Escapes Dressed in Male Attire, Anna Stanley Eludes Police Of ficers by Thirty Minutes. Miss Anna Stanley of the Howard apartments Twenty-first and How ard street, beat the police and juvenile officers about 30 minutes in taking unceremonious leave on Wed nesday morning. She is believed to have accom plished her escape in male attire, walking naively away in the guise of a well dressed young man. Miss Stanley, who is 25 years old, is wated on the charge of "white slavery." One of the cases against her involves the ruin of a beautiful country girl who came to Omaha a few months ago from a small town of this state. The girl, Irma, is 18 years old, and came to the big city with the usual visions of opportuni ties which are not afforded in the smaller communities. She began her city career as a waitress in restaur ants. Her large brown eyes and auburn tresses soon became the mark for the designs of Miss Stan ley. The Stanley woman used her wiles under the cloak of friendship, bestowing spurious sympathy for the country girl among strangers. Irma accepted an invitation to visit Miss Stanley at the latter's apartments, it is charged. Miss Stanley then inveigled a 17-year-old Central High school youth into her lair, the authorities claim. The boy's reason was dethroned by the bewitching beauty of the coun try girl. He vowed that he would follow her to the end of the world and back again. He pleaded with his parents to allow the girl to re main at their home until she could re-establish herself on a proper basis, but to no avail. Irma is being cared for by the Society for the Betterment of Girls and Boys, while the high school boy is unable to apply his mind to his school studies. The authoities of other cities have been notified to arrest and hold Miss Stanley for the Omaha complainants. Fire in Grand Island Hospital Basement Does Slight Damage Grand Island, Neb., Dec. 18.

Washington, Dec. 18. Declaring that the widest diversity of opinion exists regarding formation of a league of nations and on the defini tion nf frcpflnni of the seas. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, formerly secretary of state, in an address to the senate today, urged postpone ment of these questions until after the peace conference. Just before Senator Knox spoke the foreign relations committee had decided to delay action until Satur rlav on his resolution which would record the senate in favor of such postponment, and also call for the withdrawal of American military and naval forces frorn Europe and abrogation of the president's extra ordinary war powers. Chairman flitchcock said later that division of opinion in the com mittee on the resolution was not confined to party lines. He would not predict what action finally might be taken. The function of the peace con ference, Senator Knox declared in the senate, is to settle issues willl the enemy. Revision of the marine laws and a league of nations, he said, "are issues between the allies them selves" and neutrals, and should not he complicated with "simple de mands" of the peace treaty. Instead of a league of nations, Senator Kncx suggested a "definite entente, provided it -be a small and natural one, bringing only Imitetl and appropriate obligations. Ihe league of nations, he said, should "await exhaustive consideration." "Even without an entente," the senator said, "the United States can, without 'entanglement' what ever, place in advance at the service of the world's peace, if seriously threatened, the whole of its influ ence and of its potential power. This can be done by a declaration that k menace to the liberty of Europe is a menace to America mid that .uerica will consult its friends and prepare tor action if ever such menace shall arise again."

Author- ities everywhere agree that those in j a temporary state of "low vitality' I made up the major portion of fa talities. ' If you are a fatalist, you will not : believe in preparedness, but if you are a "fighter" you will see the wis dom of keeping your body and ner vous system strong so that disease i will not find fertile soil in which to ! carry on its ravages. 1 Medicine rightlv used at the right time is like the "Big Guns in War." If your vitality is low, you "catch : cold" all too readily, you are weak, ! nervous and ailing with aches and pains of unknown origin, you tire 1 easily and are irritable and often 'sleepless at night; digestion is i faulty, liver and bowels irregular, appetite fickle and you never feel j bright and happy as you once did. j Strange tremors seize you, memory ! seems failinc nnd manv of the lovs ! of life are denied you, through lack of energy ana ambition. Three grain Cadomene Tablets were formulated by a brilliant med ical man, just for the treatment and restoration to health of those who suffer as perhaps you do. Millions of packages have been sold in the past few years, and your druggist can supply you, and help you fight disease conditions. Adv.
