THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1919. 17RITER ASSERTS i: BOLSHEVISM IS : - GEHOflll fIDE Isaac F. Marcosson Speaks in Omaha; Declares Monster Discord Threatens the World's Safety. "We must have a pface treaty with fangs in it that will put the v, German in his place and keep him there. It must be a peace of ac ' tion and result, not a peace of phrases. We should use the big stick, not the "soft, humane word, for the tragedy of the war is thai the Germans have not been beaten badly enough." These are sentiments voiced to day by Isaac F. Marcosson, noted . writer and lecturer . on economic subjects, who addressed the Fine Arts' society ,in the Fontepelle Friday on "The War and After." Marcosson,. returned from Europe six weeks ago. "Find jobs at once for returned '' soldiers. If we don't, industrial un rest, coupled with German propa ganda, will spread bolshevism, the . world menace, so fast in this coun try that nothing can stpp it," he w arned. ' ' Propaganda is Reptile. ' "German propaganda is a reptile that merely lies stunned. Bolshev , ism is one of the prize packages of , discord that is handed out to the , ' world. This whole monster of dis cord was virtually framed and financed in Germany," he said. . "I was in Fetrograd.a year ago when Lenine opened his Pandora box of discord and I have watched its' poisonous fumes in half a dozen countries since that time. Wherever you find bolshevism there you also find the German box office and the German agitator. Unless we scotch that snake now, we will have its hideous head reared in our midst." ; Marcosson, who was sent to Rus isia, where he also met Kerensky and Trotzky, by Lloyd-George on a - British destroyer, advocates an army ' 'of .occupation in Russia. . Maybe God Can't. i ; "No one but God can save Russia "and sometimes I doubt whether even He can," said Marcosson. "Colonel Roosevelt told me ,, ; shortly before I went to Russia, that " he could' clean up the whole situa tion there-with two divisions. It 'could have been done then if Ker ensky had been a strong enough ; character but he lacked power and decision."? " Marcosson' exoeriences and eco nomic observations in his tour of I European countries during wartime are embodied in a series of articles now being published in the Satur day Evening Post. His first visit to Omaha in 1905 was while he was connected with World's Work. Mr. Marcosson passed the morn . ing in company With Victor Rose- , water, editor of The Bee, a friend of many years' standing. Directors of' the Fine Arts' so- ciett entertained Mr. Marcosson and ' leading newspaper men at luncheon ' afthe Fontenelie, " ' 1 - " ' Rokrt H. McGaffln J 'Almost Struck by Body p1; of -Failing Woman Robert H. McGaffin, chief clerk in ' Sheriff Clark's office, was almost struck by Mrs. Dovey Heitiman when she leaped to death from sevehth-story window of the Bran deis building to an . alley . through which McGaffin was walking. McGaffin was only a few feet in advance of the spot where the woman struck. He heard the thud in his rear and turned around to view 4he gruesome sight, i "I was walking down the alley to a 10-cent store and it was a matter of about two steps from the scene of the fall to where I heard the thud," he stated. Mr. McGaffin is a member of the St. Andrew's Amublance society of Glasgow, Scotland, an organization for volunteer first aid and relief. He was the first person to examine the body of Mrs. Heitzman, finding her dead and covering her face with a coat. He suppressed a dog fight which occurred within a short dis tance of the body.

(WUtanW Jfeaij OwBT ! i It would be interesting to trace the origin of most of the catchy phrases and expressions in such general use in this big land of ours. The above head line doubtless came into use through a remark of umpire captain or onlooker just before the end of a stubbornly, contested game, perhaps of base ball or foot ball. The phrase-maker saw the inevitable ending and felt that nothing was lacking but the shouting of the victors. We have been battling with yardstick and pencil,' measuring and counting, day after day, all the myriad mountains of merchandise in this Mam moth Dry Goods Store, and now we see the end It's "all over but the shouting" and on.
