DEBT TO FRANCE
FOR HUN DAMAGE
SI 3,000 000,000
Wreckage in Germans' Brutal
Trail Shown by Official
Report of Red Cross"
Research Service.
By ROBERT WEILES RITCHIE,
Staff Correspondent of Universal
Service.
(Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris,. Jan. 8. The first published
engineering estimate of the total
damage done in the French dev.
astated regions is made by Maj.
George B. Ford, head of the Red
Cross housing research service, after
a survey made since the signing of
the armistice. It places the total
1 bill which Germany ought to pay at
something under $13,000,000,000.
Major Ford, who is a well known
American engineer, says:
"We have checked most of Jhe
figures reported by thj; . French
budget committee to the Chamber
of Deputies and we find its estimate
somewhat high."
" Major Ford's own report is now
being used by Major McKinstry's
engineering board, which is prepar
. ing its estimate under the guidance
of the peace commissioners. French
insurance companies also are highly
commending accuracy.
: Major Ford estimates that Bel
gium alone suffered from destruc
tion to the amount of $2,000,000,000
and more than $1,000,000,000 in loss
of machinery stolen by the Germans-
' "
The French devasted area is equal
- to Connecticut and Rhode Island.
iialt a million buildings are dam
aged, of which 25,000 were totally
" destroyed.
Xhe cost of building, is two and
a half times greater than it was be
; fore the war. As a result the total
building destruction is estimated at
6.000,000.000. .
The total cost of replacing de
stroyed public works and railroads
is given at $2,000,000,00(1 The Nord
railroad alone lost. 1,731 bridges and
jJK stations. :
' ; Twelve hundred churches, 500
schools, 1,000 manufacturing plants
and 500 public buildings have been
obliterated.
' Slightly more than 1,000 towns
hive- suffered 80 per cent destruc
tion. Noyon, Ham, Soissons, Dor
mans, Peronm;, Bapaume, Rheims
and Verdun have "been destroyed to
an extent of 90 per cent.
Approximately 2,000,000 inhabi
tants have lost their furniture. Cot
ton and woolen industries lost $6.
,500,000 as a result of the theft or
destruction of spindles. le loss
in linen amounts to $500,000.
Of the total of 210 sugar refineries
140 were destroyed, including a loss
of $25,000,000 in machinery. Brew
eries suffered to a similar degree.
Through German destruction and
battle France lost 10 per cent of its
tininer ana oyt per cent or. us nre
wood. ,.
Jlefore the war 750,000 men were
employed in the ( building trades.
The total building done in any pre-
war year amounts to less than 7
per cent of the construction neces
sary to restore the devastated dis
tricts. , If no building were to be done
anywhere else and half a million
men Were available, it would take
more than 20 years to restore those
districts. . 1 . .
Seeress Doesn't Make
Direct Accusation of,

S.: Glynn, 3612 Jones street, father
of the murdered man, and his son-in-law

Mar, seeress, -who is at the Orpheum

"Someone ia being shielded," Miss
LaMar confidentially told Mr. Glynn-,
"and , some authority .'high up' is
wieWing influence or rather has
wielded influence in . the case. A
mor thorough investigation must
be Conducted. I see four minds in
' action centering about the murder,
and. the whole affair, including the
investigation and hearing of those
arrested, was over . too soon." I
refrain from accusing anyone out

Pillagers Overrun ' Poland
. As Prisoners Are Released
Magnificent Heroism Shown
by Women and Children in
Standing Guard With
; Their Men Folks.
Washington, Jap. 8. Stories of
terrible conditions in Poland have
been -related to the Polish national
committee - it Paris by couriers
from Poland, according to informa
tion received today at the Polish
bureau here.
"Murder and rapine , are now
filling the land," said a. statement
by the; bureau, "and. the social dis
orders consequent' upon bolshevism
in the territory have become secon
dary to the stories of bodily tor
tures which are being inflicted on
the people. "Faced with constant'
appeals for aid from the Polish
populations in vilna, Grodno and
Lemberg, the Polish military com
mand in Warsaw finds itself in the
position where, with . but scant
military force and relatively small
quantities of military supplies, it is
obliged to ignore the demand of
many, casting its strength where
the chances of doing good are most
pronounced.
Meanwhile, throughout the coun
tryside, in the entire area north
east and south of Warsaw, Russian
prisoners of war, released by Ger
many and the German soldiers mak
ing . their way back into Germany,
ate spreading a reign ot terror in
the various hamlets where they are
commandeering the fragments of
Lfood, the clothes, and the bedding of
tne people, jews ana geniues are
suffering alike in this terrible cru
sade which is being waged against
them.
"The tragic stories which the
couriers have brought are lightened
only by the reports of the magnifi.;.
cent heroism which not only the
Polish women, but even the Polish
children, are showing in standing
guard with their menfolks in repell
ing the invaders.
"The terrible feature of the situa
tion is that as yet no intimation has
been given by the representatives of
the allied powers that actual mili
tary aid is to be expected.
, "The reports on the food situation
in Poland are equally disturbing.
While surveys' made are naturally
of a most cursory nature the final
report gives it as the opinion of the
Polish officials in Paris that there
are great areas of the country where
hardly more than two or three days
of food rations is available."
BLUFFS POLICE
PASS ORDEAL OF
BOOZE INQUIRY
Investigation Brings Out Only
Rumors and No Evidence
of Officers Being in
Liquor Deals.
Nothing but a few bubbles were
disclosed by the fire and police
board hearing ; yesterday when the
sweeping charges made against the
Council Bluffs police department in
connection ; with alleged laxity in
administering anti-booze laws, were
investigated. When exposed to the
air they burst without leaving a
smirch on police uniforms.
The work, however, was not offi
cially declared finished, for the
board adjourned the hearing until
next Monday,
Witnesses were able only to re
peat rumors that had come to them,
generally with the confession of in
ability to recall the names of the
rumor vendors.
i Had Heard Rumors.
W. R. Orchard, Fred Shoemaker,
Summer Knox, Chris Hansen, John
Henry, Bill Hathaway and Mrs.
Bradbury were the witnesses. Shoe
maker is deputy United States mar
shal, Knox is connected with fed
eral secret service work in Omaha,
Hansen is an employe in the office
of Robert Wallace, Mr. Henry is
city editor of the Nonpareil and Mrs.
Bradbury has rooming apartments
over 32'i Broadway. All had
heard rumors, and City Editor
Henry said men had come into his
office and -asserted that firemen at
No. 3 station had been handling
booze.
" Shoemaker had not even heard the
rumors. Knox declined to take the
witness oath rmleii accepted with
the qualification that he would re
fuse to answer any question that
might disclose his work in the de
partment. He was merely able to
say .that rumors had come to him
but were of such a character as not
to be tangible enough to be taken
seriously. ... . .
, Mrs. , Bradbury said one of .her
roomers told her all she .had to do
to be able to handle booze was to
buy up Police Captain Shafer.
"And did you try to buy him?"
was asked.
"I should sav I didn't I was
afraid to speak to him," she respond
ed. '
No Names Disclosed.
It was expected the hearing would
disclose names of some of the sus
pected police officers, but not a wit
ness was able to mention a name.
No police officers were present.
Chief Jensen was the only represen
tative of the department in the
room. i
Explanation of the origin of the
rumors is available. Hundreds of
men have been stopped at railway
stations and suspicious-looking erios
examined by the police booze squad.
Many came through ' clean, . but
scores were caught wfth the goods.
All thus interfered with were more
or, less resentful and wanted to "get
even" with the police. 'Hence thev
made all kinds of innuendo
charges. . t

RINGER TO KEEP
HOSPITAL GOING
FOR WOMEN HERE
Police Commissioner Indicates
He Will Keep It Going Re
gardless of Lack of
. Funds. .
Police Commissioner Ringer says
in guing luitontinue operation
of the women's detention hospital in
spite o the fact that city council
tailed to grant him funds to run it.
"Council said to me: 'Go ahead
and run it if you can with the funds
from your regular department,'"
said Mr. Ringer. "They declined to
grant the $iU,0U0 that I asked to
support it. I must do the best I
can."
Mayo Smith said: "We 'lumped'
the whole health department fund
in one this year, and in it we think
there is enough so that the deten
ti:i hospital can be continued if
Mr. Ringer wants to continue it.
The hospital will be moved within
a few days from its present beauti-
tul location at 1 wenty-second street
and bt. Marys avenue to the old
county jail building at Eleventh and
Dodfe streets. This will save rent
and the inmates will reajly be safer
tlian they are at the present loca
ticn. The present location is re
garded as a fire trap, while the old
county jail building is fireproof.
1 don t know yet how many we
will be able to accommodate with
the possible funds," said Mr. Ringer.
"I know that the county jail build
ing has accommodations for 100,
while the detention hospital in its
present location has accommoda
tions for only 46.
"At the county jail the women
will sleep in double deck cots. The
surroundings there are not very
beautiful, but everything is sani
tary."
As there will be no rent to pay at
the new location and as the federal
Eovernment will supply the princi
pal medicine, salvarsan, free of
charge, and as the head physician
gives his services free, the expense
of operating' the hospital will be
low. '

spondent telegraphs:,
a ineno. ot mine, rrince ai., who

daughters were still alive and that
the emperor had not been shot.
"The bolsheviki officer, who was

a matter of indifference to him who

Mabel McAndrews Saves Day
and Enables High School
Seniors to Go on
With Play.
Miles Standish, brave and hand
some, will fight Indians and make
love at the South High school senior-
class play which will be given
Wednesday evening, January 22, at
the South High school auditorium."
But who was to take the part of
Miles for some time has been a
burning question. i
The graduating class is composed
ot 13 girls, and Miles was always
considered a very masculine sort of
man. At last Mable Mc Adams was
chosen for the part.
It is rumored that a boy from
another class has been "borrowed"
to take one of the parts! So "The
Rose of Plymouth Town" as pro
duced by the South High class will
not be a burlesque, but a regular
production of the famous and well
loved play.
South High Prepares to.
Turn Out Many Graduates
Students are registering at 'the

students entering the high school
from the grade schools to register
between 2 and 4 o clock on the
afternoon of Thursday, January 2i

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thine to use is just plain

pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex
pensive soaps or anything slse all to
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months,
Simply moisten the hair with wa
