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

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.

Nearly All Grammar
School Graduates to
Go on to High School
A trend toward more education is
seen by Superintendent of Schools
Beveridge in the proportion of
eighth grade graduates who intend
to continue their studies in higher
schools. .
The first semester ends Friday and
there are 56S graduates from the
eighth grades of the city schools.
Of this number 524 have signified
that they will continue to the high
schools and Other institutions and
only 41 will quit school.
This is believed to be a much
greater proportion going on to high
er schools than ever before. Super
intendent Beveridge has made ad
dresses in the eighth grades, urging
the pupils to get all the education
they can, pointing out that education
pays eveu in the monetary sense
in the long run.
The enrollment in the Central high
school is the highest it ever has
been. With those coming in from the
eighth grades Monday the total en-i
rollment for the year will be more'
than 2,100. -
The four weeks lost because of the
"flu" have been more than half
made up by adding ,15 minutes to
the daily sessions. ' '

Ayear ago Mr. Powell tried to get

Washington said no; that none exr
cept those connected with its de
velopment and manufacture and use
could see it.
Two months ago' Mr. Powell de
cided to try again. Washington
again hesitated. Then Mr. Powell be
gan pulling wires.
"It's the biggest automobile show
attraction we've ever had," said Mr.
Powell. "It's something- everyone
of us has wanted to see for several
years. Now we're going to have it."

in Behalf of Drive for
Near East Relief Fund
C. F. Harrison, chairman of the
Armenian fund committee of the
Omaha realtors, and E. M. Slater

to putting over the top the work
they have undertaken in behalf of the
thousands of starving victims of the
Germans and Turks in the near east.
Early the real estate men began
to sigrl their names on the dotted
line generously, and with a good
will which always marks their ef
forts in a good cause.
This is the second week of the
campaign to raise $53,0O in Omaha

half the amount has been subscribed,
and the indications are by the first

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.
