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.

WORLD LEAGUE
NOT ISSUE NOW,
ASSERTS KNOX
Pennsylvania Senator De
clares Against Action on
Disputed Questions Be
fore Peace Meeting.
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."

London. Dec. 18. (Havas.)

Secretary Balfour have changed

What r1ns suffered most, from
! the epidemic of influenza? 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.
