Castelanu With 600,000 Americans and French Ready for Drive When Fighting Stopped. , Paris, Jan. 4 (Havas.) Germany hurried to request an armistice when saw that a new allied offensive was to be launched on the Lorraine front November 12, by 600,000 men under command of General de Castelnau, sayi Excelsior. American and French troops, it says, were concentrated on the front between Briey and Chateau Salins. They were supported by 3,000 guns oj all calibers and had 300 tanks available on a front of, about 45 miles. Duke Albrecht of Wurttem berg, the German commander on this front, had available only 25 di visions of inferior fighting quality. - These divisions contained approxi mately 160,000 men. He had only 1,000 guns. This allied attack, the Excelsior continues, would have carried the war into annexed Lorraine and into Rhenish Prussia, threatening to cut off the German army in Belgium and in the Ardennes from its bases. German general headquarters, realizing that the divisions on other sections were exhausted and that its forces were demoralized and worn out, averted a catastrophe by pleading for an armistice. The Ex celsior concludes: "The success of the offensive was assured, but it could not have made victory more complete than it al ready was because Germany accept ed all our conditions. Marshal Foch deemed it useless to cause further shedding of blood and consented to stop hostilities although Germany was then in a desperate plight." ffc: turning After :iv.

As to the proposal for a league of nations, Mr.. Baker said it was not such a scheme as the holy alliance suggested by some of its critics. "It is not proposed out of cabinets cf absolutue ministers," he said, "but is rathter the passionate demand of the man in the street, the simple ?.nd the unsophisticated who know little of the intriguej and Wiles of statecraft, but who know a very great deal about the suffering and sacrifice which .war entails." "America Given New Vison" The war had given America a new vision of its own strength and power, Mr. Baker declared. It was the spirit of freedom and right that animated the American army in France, the war secretary declared. "Hindenburg lines crumo- led like houses of cards in the face of that spirit," he said, and after the taking of M. Mihiel salient jn Sep tember, "an American genera with two million American soldiers at his back drove through the Argonne for est, took bedan and so shattered the whole German system of military operations that surrender mora com plete than unconditional was accept ed by Germany at the point of the sword when the armistice of Novem ber 11, was signed." Mr. Baker made only one refer ence touching subjects of criticisms of the War department recently voiced in the senate. Although there is much talk of the United States having to rely upon Great Britain and France to supply its armies with heavy artillery," he said, "neverthe less, American industry did, in fact, supply Great Britain and France practically an equivalent to that made available to us from them. American industry was able to meet the demands made upon it, and on the day the armistice was signed our army abroad was thoroughly equipped with American made rifles and machine guns, some heavy ar tillery had been shipped and the stream of supply of all types of ar tillery, ammunition and equipment was beginning at such a rate as would have supplied our own -ast forces entirely from our own sources within a few months." Captain of Steamship Which Fired First Gun for U. S. in War Dies New York, Jan. 4. Capt. Emery Rice, born in Boston 40 years ago, who commanded the Mongolia, the first American steamship to sink a German submarine and who made 41 voyages across the Atlantic during the war, died today at the New York navy yard hospital of pneumonia following influenza. He was ill only a week. . It was on April 19, 1917, a few days after the United States entered the war, that the Mongolia's naval gunners, who sighted in British, wa ters a submarine about to attack the great steamship, shattered its peri scope and sank it.

Captain Rioe wig wagged fromithe bridge of that Ves sel the signal which brought Rear Admiral Sampson at full spied to attack Admiral Cervera's squadron. Later he was decorated by the em peror of Japan for rescuing the crew of five from an overturned sampan in the Yellow sea at a risk to his own vessel. Germans Decide to Fight Polish Invasion in East Berlin, Jan. 4. The German cabi net today continued its consideration of the Polish question but no an nouncement has been made. The Tagetilatt says the govern ment is believed to have decided that military action is necessary in order to check the Polish invasion. The cabinet also is reported to be con sidering military measures to . pre vent the irruption; of the Russian bolsheviki. Special dispatches report that a Polish invasion is feared in the coal mining region of tipper Silesia. The Poles, it is declared, have captured the, railway junction of Nakel, west of Bromberg, and the in vaders also threaten Schneiderouhl and Beutscher. In southern Posen the Poles threaten Kosten. Farther north they have taken Mofilno and Znin. 1 Thirty-One Destroyers on Way Home from Europe Washington, Jan. 4. Thirty-one destroyers and seven submarines have sailed from Europe and should reach their home stations within the next ten days or two weeks. The destroyers, the Navy department an nounced tonight, are proceeding to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk and Charleston, while the submarines are enroute to Philadel phia. Anyhow, Weather Will Be Warmer Late Next Week Washington, Jan. 4. Weather predictions for the week beginning Monday, issued by the weather bu reau today, are: Upper Mississippi and lower Mis souri valleys: Generally fair weath er with temperature near seasonal average.

Better Understanding Now. Jerry Burnett, national organizer for the street railway employes, gave out the following statement which was "concurred in by members of the executive committee of the local street railway employes union: "We really did not get all that we expected to get at this time, but the war board has instructed the com pany to receive our committees,, and since we have the understanding that was reached at this hearing on the 2d and 3d, I feel there is a much better understanding between the company and their employes than has ever existed before, and through this better understanding I feel that the employes through their committees will be able to adjust the several grievances that they have between them and their employing company. "While it is true the employes in the contract presented to the com pany sometime ago asked for a closed shop agreement, this award does not give them a closed shop, but gives them an open shop and the right to bargain collectively through their chosen committees of their organization. Looks For Adjustment. "It is recognized in the award that the employes have a 90 per cent organization, and I am proud to say that we have a 100 per cent organization on the east side of the river, and a 95 per cent organi zation on this side of the river. "With the understanding that I feel has been reached between the company and their employes the grievances that we have and griev ances that will arise from time to time can be amicably adjusted. "The war board award can be opened February 1 by either party to adjust any and all qustions that are not settled between the employes and the company before that time. It was made very clear that all male employes of the company should get 42 1-2 cents per hour as a minimum wage, that is, other than platform employes, who are re ceiving since July 17, 41 cents per hour for the first three months, 43 for the next nine months and 45 cents thereafter." Local Union Controls. Mr. Burnett also said: "The com pany need not fear any interference from the international union, as only on appeal from the local division will any man be sent here and then only to avoid trouble or as a peace maker." t When pressed further for a state ment of what the next steps taken by the men would be, he added: "The committee wiH negotiate with the company during the next few weeks in adjusting complaints and grievances, and all indications point to their arriving at a -decision that will eliminate many of the griev ances complained of. Points upon which no decision can be arrived at will be referred to the examiners." Oil Man Plans to Give Great Sum, Long in Law Suit to Charity Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 4. Charles Page, who recently won the famous Tommie Atkins suit, in which was involved a valuable oil lease in an Oklahoma field, has announced that as soon as the title passed to him. he intended giving the entire prop erty over to philanthropic purposes, one feature being a ten-story build ing with club features to be erected here for the working people, it be came known yesterday. The Tommie Atkins' lease passed through the United States supreme court and the case was decided some months ago in favor of Mr. Page and is estimated to have in volved $3,000,000. Legislature Requested to Investigate Mooney Case San Francisco, Jan. 4. Resolu tions asking the state legislature at its coming session to investigate all phases of the Thomas J. Mooney case, with a view of obtaining a new trial for Mooney were adopted by the San Fiancisco labor council at its meeting last night, it was an nounced here today. The resolu tions asked also ' that Warren K. Billings be granted a new trial. Both are serving life terms follow ing their conviction on charges of murder in connection with the pre paredness day bomb explosions here on July 22, 1916. Held on Larceny Charge. Wanita Wilson, of 1715 North Twenty-first street, was arrested by Officer Finn, of the Brandeis stores, and booked on a charge of grand larency at the Central police station last night. , Finn alleges that Miss Wilson attempted to take a ldress valued at 4i . - ,m ; ; ' RAILROADS TO PROBE LENIENCY 0FU.S. JUDGE (Cantlnued Frem Page One.) presentative who came to Omaha, wanted to be advised as to what co operation we were having with the police department and in the courts." C. Ready, district special agent for the Northwestern west of the Missouri river and western Iowa, also confirmed the information that such a report had been mailed to Flynn, and that a report had been asked, for by Mr. Mitchell in behalf of Mr. Doherty. Special Agent E. Jkf Matthews of the Burlington, who is also chair man of the law committee, said: "Myself and the rest of the com mittee made up this report from the records in the federal building. Sub sequently H. Paul of the committee was transferred to Memphis and his place taken by F. M. Bradley. Mr. Bradley then went over the records, making a special investiga tion to satisfy himself that the re port was correct." Reports on Court. "Your committee deems it advis able," so the report begins, "to ac quaint you with the proceedings had in the United States district court, presided over by Judge J. W. Wood rough, from July 8 to July 16, 1918, that you may he fully informed be fore' arriving at your conclusions and deciding what action, if any. you desire taken." The cases cited, of which the rail road officials complain, were all on indictments returned by the federal grand jury in June, 1918, coming before Judge Woodrough the follow ing July. From the report these extracts are taken: "On March 12, 1918. Carl Rose and Harry Kratky, both confirmed box car thieves, were arrested for having broken the serl of a car mov ing under interstate billing from Omaha to LeMars, Iowa. On June 1, 1918, both defendants were indi cated by the United States grand jury. The indictment charged that they 'did then and there, with in tent to commit larceny therein, un lawfully, forcibly and feloniously break a certain seal, consisting of a combination of tin and lead, hen nad there fastened and attached to a certain railroad car, and which railroad car then and there con tained interstate freight.' On July 8 these defendants before Judge Woodrough pleaded not guilty. Was Three Time Deserter. "On July 11, with their attorney, Frank Keegan, they came before the court, withdrew their former plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to the charges contained in tre indict ment. To the surprise and disgust of every one concerned with the prosecution, they were fined $1 each. Assistant United States Attorney Saxton expressed his feelings some what forcibly after this travesty against justice had been concluded and the judge justified his action by saying that he did not know that they had gotten the door of the car open. Giving him the benefit of the doubt on that point, it was his duty to know what the indictment charged and that indictment charged that they had broken the seal with intent to commit larceny and on that charge they pleaded guilty. The court knew that Rose had an ex tended police record, that he was a three time deserter and had. been dishonorably discharged from the army for desertion. The court also knew that Kratky was a paroled in mate of the Kearney, reform school, having been sent there for box car robbery. When the Rose and Kratkv case came before United States Com-, missioner Neeley for preliminary hearing, the court's bailiff, Anton Gross, became actively interested in their behalf." Others Indicted. The report also cites other cases of men stealing from interstate ship ments, indicted at the same time Rose and Kratky were. Homer C. Williams, for stealing a case of gin was fined $35 and given until August 1 to pay the fine. Richard White was arrested for "theft of rear wheels and tires, one rear wheel casing and set of tools, valued at $65, from a Maxwell au tomobile, then moving under inter state billing from Detroit, Mich., to Omaha. On July 12 he appeared before Judge Woodrough. pleaded guilty to the charges contained in the indictment and was fined $5." After- going into the details in several other cases handled in the same term of court, about 15 in all, the report closes: "We call your atention particularly to the case of Richard White, who was fined $5 for stealing merchandise valued at $65, and the case of Homer Wil liams, who was fined $35 for steal ing merchandise valued at $12; the case of Edward Riter, who was fined $100 for stealing $2 worth of coal and the case of Rose and Kratky, fined $1 for breaking a seal with in tent to commit larceny." Fault of Leniency. Friends of Judge Woodrough in sist his greatest fault in this con nection is simply a matter of lenien cy, and to prove it point to his many decisions and sentences in the sedi tion cases brought before him. In three cases in the North Platte dis trict, two of which were violent threats against the president's life, and in all of which the statements made against the government were of the most violent character, only short jail sentences were imposed. In the most violent case, the de fendant was given one year, almost immediately modified to 30 days. The same, they say, is true of the sedition cases in the Omaha district, wherein only short jail sentences or money fines were imposed; also to his decisions in the white slave cases and bootlegger cases. Woodrough Had Not Heard. Judge Woodr6ugh, when asked if the report of the Association of Special Agents had been called to his attention by the United States Rai way Administration, said that it was news to him. "I have not heard of any such report" he said. He did not care to make any comment .until he knew more about it. PRESIDENT IS RECEIVED BY THEPONTIFF (Continued From Face One.) the part America was playing in the efforts to achieve it and voicing his confidence ii the continuing and in creasing influence of the United States in the world's affairs. The president, while here, con tinued the discussion of Italy's claims before the peace conference, but the measure of the American support of them has not yet been fully dveloped and seems not likely to be before further conferences. Arriving at Genoa at 8 o'clock to morrow '.morning' a three-hours visit for the president is planned. Wreaths will be laid on the statue of Columbus tbat was built from con tributions from the Italians In America, while at Milan a civic re ception on a large scale has been arranged. The president will be ban queted as the guest of the city and also attend a portion of the per formance of the opera Aida before leaving for Turin, where he will ar rive Monday morning. The program for his stop in Turin has not yet been full arranged. The present plan is for the presi dential party to reach Paris Tues day forenoon. The president's visit to Brussels and the regions devastated by the war, it now has been determined, will not take place until just before his-departure for home, the middle of February. Busy Every Hour. President Wilson yesterday had probably the hardest single day's program since he came to Europe and he accomplished it while thou sands of Romans and citizens of other parts of Italy looked on and cheered. After the procession from the station to the Quirinal, the presi dent visited the queen mother, had conferences with Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino, gave an audience to the councjl of the royal academy of sciences, was re ceived at the house of parliament, was the guest of honor at a state dinner given by the king and ended the day with a reception at the capitol, where he received the citizenship of Rome. There appeared to be more on lookers than there were leaves on the palm trees of Rome. There were too many people for the streets, too many people for the great squares and too many for the trees, build ings, monuments and other points of vantage. The atmosphere was that of an average American town on a holiday to which was added the Latin touch so familiar to American tourists. This, however, had been multiplied in the imagination by about r.OOO. The result is a fairly accurate pic ture of Rome as it was today. After one month of rain, sunlight had come to brighten the parks and the garden and the city was fresh and glistening when the president arrived. Many bands were1 in the streets and the American flag was. everywhere. Long lines of Italian troops just returned from, the front guarded the streets' and counter-marched. At several places along the ' president's route there was a sprinkling of American, French and British officers to give the picture an international touch. N Member of Academy. President W'ilson was made a member of the "Reale Accademia De 'Lincei" or Royal Academy of Sci ence, this morning. The president, with Mrs. Wilson, was seated between the king and queen, while among others present were the American ambassador, Thomas Nelson Page, and other members of the diplomatic corps and many distinguished Italian officials and scientists. Senator D'Onidio, who ia presi dent of the academy, hailed the presi dent as the worthy representative of the culture of the new wdrld, which now vevivifies the ancient culture of the old world. Sulzer Makes Fraud Charge in Connection With Alaskan Election Washington, Jan. 4. Alaska dele gate Su'zer, democrat, speaking in the house today under considera tion of a committee report holding that he is not entitled to his seat in congress because the 1916 election was won by James Wickersham re publican, argued that he was legally elected, criticised the committee re port and denounced his opponent. Final action on the report is expect ed tomorrow. Mr. Sulzer said Indians living in tribal relationship are not entitled to vote but that the report "prac tically makes them voters, because it counted their votes for Wicker sham." He also charged that his op ponent had "knowingly taken ad vantage" in the contest by submit ting in rebuttal testimony which should have been included in the evidence in chief, thus preventing a reply to it. LAST WOUNDED VETS TAKEN OFF STRANDED SHIP Story of Off Shore Reserve Work by Sailors Is With out Parallel in Annals of American Shipping. - Fire Island. N. Y., Jan. 4. Weary sailors manning the stranded trans port Northern Pacific, who shared with coast guards and the crews of rescue ships in the unparalleled task of sending safely ashore through the breakers 2,500 well and wounded soldiers, climbed into their ham mocks tonight free, for the first time in four, days, of anxiety over the safety of the army veterans home ward bound frm Europe. The last of the troops aboard went over the side today. Twenty soldiers, so seriously wounded that it was necessary to carry them on stretchers down a stairway swung over the transport's side, made up the final contingent of passengers to leave the vessel. As the submarine chaser which car ried them headed for the hospital ship Solace a sailor on the Northern Pacific signal platform wigwagged to shore an officer's message that none but navy men remained aboarxj the liner. . Rescue Unparalleled. Thus, at 2:30 o'clock, after three days of cold, wet work in a biting wind that veered only a few degrees from the northerly quarter, the sail ors and officers wrote "finis" to a story of off-shore rescue work con sidered without parallel in the an nals of American shipping the re moval without loss of life of 2,500 persons, nearly 300 of them badly wounded, from a stranded vessel. The sun, which cheered the liner's company today after the hours of mist, raih, snow and cutting wind, had hardly dropped below the hori zon when the slender arc of a new moon appeared above a bank of red tinged clouds in the west, giving promise of fair weather tomorrow for the removal of half the grounded vessel's crew. Crew to Assist Salvagers. While a watch of 10 or 20 men would be sufficient to hold title to the transport against salvagers, Cap tain Connelly decided to retain a skeleton crew of 25Q to assist the wreckers, whose efforts to release the big ship have, failed thus far to budge her from the bed of sand piled around her hull. Captain Connelly reported to Cap tain Sterling, chief-of-staff .of the third naval district in command on the beach, that his vessel was taking no water. The ship, he said, was in excellent condition and the crew in good spirits, though anxious to get ashore. Liberty Bonds Slump Partly Due to Sales by Income Tax Dodgers New York, Jan. 4. Charging "big cross order" sales oT Liberty bonds by income tax dodgers, trans actions in one day exceeding $40, 000,000. Assistant District Attorney Brogan, in a report to the county district attorney today, urged the need of an inquiry by the stock ex change to ascertain the names of wealthy men suspected of thus caus ing the decline in the price of the war securities sharply below par. "It is generally conceded." said Mr. Brogan's report, "that the low prices obtaining for Liberty bonds at the end of the income tax year was seized upon by a great many to sell their bonds with a view of establishing losses to offset profits which would have to be shown in making their income tax reports." Small investors, he said, have been persuaded to exchange their Liberty bonds for worthless stocks. In one western state, he said, $20,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds of the first and second issues had been wheedled from gullible investors and it would be a fair estimate to place the amount thus obtained by swindlers a$250,O00,000 to $500,000,000. Germany's Newest Warship to Be Turned Over to Allies . London, Jan. 4. Germany's new est battleship, the Baden, will be surrendered at a British port within a few days in accordance with the terms of the armistice, according to announcement here. The Baden has a displacement of 28.000 tons. Owing to the fact that this ship was completed after the war began little is known as, to its armament. It has been reported that ships of this class had been armed with 16.5 or 17-inch guns, but information on this point has bien meager and unreliable. Polish Battalion Sails. New York, Jan. 4. The French line steamship France, which sailed today, carried a battalion of Poles, numbering 1,554 men, recruited in America for the Polish army. PRESIDENT ASKS LARGE FUND FOR FAMINE RELIEF Appropriation of $100,000, 000 Sought, in His First Communication to Con gress from Abroad. Washington, Jan. 4. President Wilson's first legislativcjecoinmcwl ation based' on his study of condi tions in Europe iooks to the relict of the distress of populations "out side of Germany," which are threatened with starvation. Request for immediate appropria tion of $100,000,000 to supply food to liberated peoples of Austria, Tur key, Poland and western Russia who have no recognized govern ments and ar"e unable to finance in ternational obligations, was trans mitted today to congress by Secre tary Glass on cabled instruction! from the president. Mr. Glass went personally to the capitol for a long conference with democratic leaders of the house and legislation to carry out the president's recommenda tions will be introduced by them after conferring with republican leaders. The president's message said that food shipments worth $1,500,000,000 must be made from the United States to Europe in the next seven months. An international organiza tion directed by Herbert C. Hoover will supervise the distribution of the supplies, most of which will be paid for by persons able to find the necessary resources. The appropria tion requested by the pres.dent will take care of the population in other districts, notably in eastern and southern Europe, which have been ravaged by war and where freedom and governments will emerge oniy "slowly" out of chaos. In appealing "to the great sense oi cnarny ana gooa will or inc j tuiviik.au ivyiv lunaiua I'll, auutl- ing." the president said: "While the sum of money is in itself large, it is so small compared to the expenditures we have under taken in the hope of bettering the world that it becomes a mere pit tance compared to the results that will be obtained from it and the lasting effect that will remain in the United States through an act of such broad humanity and statesman like influence." 'smmmmmmmMMMBMmm To reassure you about the price . of the Standard Eight Peace reductions in automo bile prices have begun. Their general object is to offset the up ward jump made in prices dur ing the war. The effect has been to make the prospective buyer wait.

But this question of price, and the future prices, need not cause the Slightest anxiety to the man or woman who contemplates buying a Standard Eight. There will be no reduction in the Standard Eight price.
