foreign ministers of the allied and
associated powers and the Japanese
representatives met at the Quai
D'Orsay between 3 and 5:30 this
afternoon and approved the propos
al of President Wilson, which read
as follows: .
"The single object of the represen
tatives of the associated powers have
had in mind since their discussions
of the course they should pursue
with regard to 'Russia 'has been to
help the Russian people, not to hin
der them or interfere in any manner
with their right to settle their own
tfairs in their own way.
Regard Russians as Friends.
"They regard the Russian people
as their friends, not their enemies,
and are willing to help them in any
way they are willing to be helped.
It is clear to them that the troubles
and distrust of the Russian people
will steadily increase, hunger and
privation of every kind become more
and more acute, more and more
widespread and more and more im
possible to relieve, unless order is
restored and normal conditions of
labor, trade and transportation once
nore is created and they are seeking
ome way in which to assist the
Russian people to establish order.
" 'They recognize the absolute
right of the Russian people to direct
their own affairs without dictation
or direction of any kind from out
ride. They do not wish to exploit
r make use of Russia in any way.
Support No Faction.
'' 'They recognize the revolution
without reservation and will in no
way and in no circumstance aid or
nive countenance to any attempt at
i counter-revolution.
" 'It is not their wish or' purpose
io favor or assist any one of the
organized groups now contending
tor the. leadership and guidance of
Russia, as against the others. Their
sole and sincere purpose is to do
what they can to bring Russia peace
md an opportunity to find its way
jut of her present troubles.
"'The associated powers are now
fitgaged in the solemn and respon
sible work of establishing the peace
i.i f Europe and of the world and they
are keenly alive to the fact that
Europe and the world cannot be at
peace if Russia ts not. They recog
nize and accept it as a duty to serve
Russia as generously, as unselfishly,
lis thoughtfully, as ungrudgingly as
they would serve any other friend
and ally, and they are ready to ren
der this service in the way that is
most acceptable to the Russian peo
ple. .
Invite Delegates to Conference
" 'In this spirit and with this pur
pose they have taken the following
action: ' , '
"They invite ' every organized
sroup that is now exercising or at
i erupting political authority or military-control

ing what their agents are proposing
to do before it is too late to pass
effective judgment upon their decis
ions. Mr. Wilson stated to congress in
his address on .December 2, that it
was his paramount duty to go to
Paris in order that the allied gov
ernments which had accepted the
basis of peace outlined to congress
on January 8, 1918, "the fourteen
points," might have the benefit of
his personal counsel in their inter
pretation and application.
It is an amazing circumstance that
the very first act of the conference
was to violate, with Mr. Wilson's
consent, the first article of those
points, and to propose to reach
"covenants" of peace by secret
conference..
Mr. Wilson, in his speech of
September 27, after emphasizing his
views as to a basis of lasting peace,
and analyzing the international sit
uation, stated that he did so "not
because I doubted whether leaders
cf the great nations and the peoples
with whom we are associated were of
the same mind and entertained a
like purpose, but because the air
every now and then gets darkened
by mists and groundless doubting
and mischievous perversions of
counsel, and it is necessary once
and again to sweep away all ir
responsible talk about peace in
trigues and weakening morale and
doubtful purposes on the part of
those in authority and say things in
the plainest words that Can be
found even when it is only to say
over again what has been said be
fore quite as plainly, if in less 'un
varnished' terms."
People-Should Know.
Such a time is now here. The air
is full of rumors of international
jealousies and conflicting ambitions.
It is stated on what appears to be
good authority that President Wil
son proposed to urge upon the con
ference the neutralization of all in
ternational waterways, including the
Panama canal; that France 'is put
ting forward claims to suzerainty
over Syria that are most unwelcome
to some of the inhabitants of that
region; that there are more secret
treaties among the allies which sup
port Italy's claim to the Dalmatian
coast; that Mr. Wilson proposes to
compel an agreement for general
disarmament by using the threat of
building a srreat American Bavv.
The people of the world have a right
io kuow me iacts aoout all of these
matters. As a preliminary, every so
called secret treaty made during the
war ought to be laid unon the. re
ference table .and submitted to the
impartial judgment of the world,
so that public sentiment may deter
mine whether or not such bargains
should be carried out or rescinded by
mutual consent," compelled by the
same public sentiment. However; it
is being found extremely difficult to
get to. an impartial world a full
tun statement of the facts of what
i3 iiaj'jjcumg ill rans,
Some Press Experiences.
President Wilson, in his address
to congress on December 2, last,
stated that at his request "the
French and English governments
have absolutely removed censorship
oh cabled news, which until within
a fortnight they have maintained:
there is now no censorship whatever
exercised at this end, except upon
attempted trade communication with
enemy countries."
This condition no longer prevails,
as recent experiences with a cable
dispatch of the New York Tribune
correspondent has revealed. Dis
patches sent by the press, I am told,
are censored by the French Dress
censor. The drspatch -referred to
was taken by M. Clemenceau to the
chamber of deputies, and made the
subject of a statement bv hrm to the
effect that he had shown it to Presi
dent Wilson, who had authorized
him to deny the truth of the state
ment in it, which statement by the
way, did not reter to trance, and
it was not until two days later that,
perceiving the absurdity of denying
the truth of a dispatch which had not
been forwarded and not published,
the French government permitted
the cable to go forward.
These hampering conditions sur
rounding the obtaining and trans
mission of information inevitably
must complicate the work of those
who are charged with making known
to the world the facts concerning the
deliberations of the conference and
of interpreting- its action in order
than an informed public sentiment
may be created respecting it. If this
present system be a method of open
ly arriving at open covenants of
peace, it would be interesting as a
aeiimiion.

RADICAL VIEVS
Government Official to Give
Their Names to Commit
tee 'Investigating
Propaganda.
Washington, Jan. 22. Archibald
Stevenson of New York, a rep
resentative of the military intelli
gence service, testifying today be
fore the senate propaganda investi
gating committee, declared a large
number of professors in American
colleges and , universities sub
scribed to radical and pacifist views.
This, he said, was particularly true
of professors and instructors in so
ciology, economics and history.
I he witness said he would give
the names of such professors to the
committee.
Senator King of Utah remarked
that it was time to "weed out and
drive out of our university these
pernicious teachings."
Ihe committee decided to discuss
in executive session whether the
names! of the professors should be
made public.
Keternng to the rord peace par
ty, Mr. Stevenson said Rosika
Schwimmer, who aided in the
movement, and accompanied the
peace ship to Europe, undoubtedly
was a German agent.
The Nonpartisan league' was
characterized as a pacifist move
ment. Mr. Stevenson said the or
ganization was financed by the dues
of its members, some of which were
paid in cash and others in notes,
which inoney was advanced by
Rudolph Paeenstacher. a New
York banker.
Another Peace Envoy
For United States
May Be Appointed
Paris, Jan, 22. While the peace
congress is getting into action the
question of President Wilson nam
ing a fifth delegate to act on he
American mission when he, himself,
departs for home has again arisen and
the names of William H. Taft and
Elihu Root have been mentioned. Mr.
Wilson's decision as to the appoint
ment of another delegate depends
wholly upon whether he will con
sider it necessary to return -to
Europe after the adjournment of the
American congress in March. There
is absolutely no question that he
feels he must return to America in
time to sign bills that have been
passed at Washington. He has no
thought of signing them here, on. the
theory that the embassy is Ameri
can territory.

Lincoln, Jan. 22. (Special.) Two

ginning wages of $55 to $80 a month

same convoy as the "City of York,"
on which the Omaha boys sailed for
France,' September 25. The wreck
took place off the coast of the Isle
of Islay and the wreckage was
strewn about the waters.
Spirit of Wounded Men.
The firsts ight which greeted the
boys on their arrival at Le Havre
was the boatloads and trainloads of
wounded men.
"It made our blood boil. We could
hardly wait to get into the fight"
said James Gaffney, 812 North
Forty-eighth street. Gaffney's
brother, M. L. Gaffney was in Bel
gium but the brothers were unable
to meet while in overseas service.
George A. Sanford of Fort Crook,
Elwood Peters, Odell C. Demoor

Hoof and Mouth Disease
Breaks Out in England
Washington, Jan. 22. Upon noti
fication from British authorities that
foot and mouth disease has broken
out again in England, the bureau
of animal industry has canceled all
permits for importation of cattle,
sheep and swine from that country
and is taking special precautions for
the inspection and quarantine of
such animals now en route to the
United States. British veterinar
ians are said to have the outbreak
under control.
New York Produce Exchange
Wants Price Fixing Stopped
New York, Jan. 22. The New
York Produce exchange went on
record today as favoring retention
of the prices and regulations con
trolling the 1918 wheat harvest as
applied to hogs, coarse grain and
other foodstuffs. The exchange di
rected its board of managers to
appeal directly to the president to
lift the wartime restrictions upon
hogs and the grains.
Red Flag Taboo.
Salem, Ore., Jan. 22. Display of

"I was ,in 'sunny France,' for more
than three months and never saw
the sun once," said Leroy Baker,
2813 North Fifteenth ave. They
don't believe water was made to
drink in France. The French only
drink cognac and vine blanc (white
wine) which tastes like sour vine
gar. I never want to see grapes
grow again," he continued.
A vivid description of ''pullman
de box car," traveling a la mode in
France was given by Julius Drolick,
2206 North Twenty-first. "Forty
Hommes or eight chevaux," 40 men
or eight horses, each box car was
marked. We scarcely had room in
which t stand up," he said.
"The average doughboy thinks it
his duty to teach some French girl
English," said Levere Goodin, 6523
Mample street, Benson.
"Chante, Oh, Johnny! Bon Chan
te!" the French girls entreat the
Yankee soldiers, according to. Har

The Yankees don't waste much
time waiting to learn to speak
French to greet the French girls
"Ou lal La la!"
"Ou la la!" we exclaim and that's
enough 1" the boys say. ' .
The boys won't easily forget the
exorbitant prices asked by some
French merchants for their wares.
Twenty francs for a ten-cent bar
of sweet chocolate was the price
asked of James Gaffney. One franc
was the normal charge.
"France is 1,000 years behind the
times in the manner of living es
pecially," the boys say.
Rabbit with garlic dressing is one
of the dainties with which French
housewives tempted the American
boys' appetites.
"It was awful," they voted.
When the boys were arrived at
Claremon-Ferrand, most of them
were billeted in the stables of Na
polean. .
Monarchists Take Town in

Paris, Jan. 22. (Havas.) Valen

Washington, Jan. 22. The present
revolution in Portugal seeking to
restore the monarchy is the second
movement of its kind ' within two
weeks, it was learned today at the
State department. ' Information

It is no objection to the proposed
plan of a memprial to say that the

stand art. We appreciate , many
things that we do not understand.
Thousands of "people are held en
tranced and their deepest emotions
are stirred by the appeals of music,
who are entirely ignorant of the
principles of melody and harmony.
The majority of people will greatly
enjoy the beauty and coloring of a
painting, who have no knowledge
of the technique by which the artist
produced it.
"I would give all the people an
opportunity to visit the war museum
and there see object lessons, teach
ers of history of the greatest of all
world wars, and which has brought
liberty to untold millions. I would
give our people an opportunity to
go to the music hall and there listen
to the strains of music which stir
the deepest emotions of the human
soul. I would give our people an
opportunity to visit the productions
of the sculptors and see dreams of
beauty such- as had never come to
them except in their sleeping hours.
I would give them an opportunity
to visit the gallery of art, where, by
means of the palette and the brush,
the genius of the artist has pro
duced ideals to which we should
ever aspire and which will add to
the melody and harmony of life."
