THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, ALLIES PLAIIfllilG TO REDUCE ARMY OF OCCUPATION Commission Will Endeavor as Preliminary Measure to Ascertain Strength of - German Forces. Taris, Jan. 26. An effort to as certain the strength and resources of the German army will be the. first problem considered by the military committee appointed Thursday by the supreme war council to report on the strength of the allied and associated forces to be retained on - the western front during the period of the armistice. ( It was assumed that the Germans now have a'iout 500,000 men under arms, but it is necessary to confirm these figures and also to determine to what extent the manufacture of arms, ammunition and other mili tary supplies is going on. The purpose is to maintain a strength at all times superior to the present or potential strength of the Germans. There are now eight American divisions in Germany and the findings of the committee will determine whatever may be possible to reduce this force and send the men home. The British and French commands share the desire to hasten demobilization, so it is said that the committee will report at the earliest possible moment. The inquiry is not understood to apply to the entente and American forces in Siberia and at Archangel, where they will be maintained pend- ing the issue of the Princes Islands conference. Freight Traffic Body of the Federal Roads Swamped With Business Although in business a little more v than a month the Omaha District Freight Traffic committee of the United States railroad administra tion finds itself swamped. Hearings on applications for new rates and changes of rates are being held daily, but the new cases come at a much more rapid rate than they can be disposed of. Saturday 14 cases were filed, sev eral of which have to do with Oma ha rates and shipments of com modities. Application is made for a switching charge of $4 per car be tween industries in the city and con necting lines and Fort Omaha and the balloon school;, to eliminate, the $2 car reconsigning charge for switching and inspecting hay in car lots in Omaha; to establish storing in transit privileges of six months on hay points west of Omaha, des tined for points east of the Missouri river; to establish a rate of cents per 100 pounds or a minimum charge of $15 per car on cinders shipped from South Omaha to Fort Crook; to include Florence within the Qma- ha switching district. Other applications filed propose a revision of hay and straw rates from Nebraska and other states to the Missouri river and east; to establish -' a 75-cents-per-ton rate on slack coal from Rock Springs, Black Buttes and Point of Rocks to certain 'sta tions on the. Union Pacific; to fix a 19-cent potato rate on shipments frpm Gering and Northport to Den ver; a milling in transit rate to Hardy, Neb., on traffic originating west of this point and destined for . farther east; to establish a 25-cents-per-barrel rate on crude oil and dis tillates shipped from Casper to Greybull, Vyo.; to fix a 6-cents-per-1 00-pound minimum, or a 25-cent single drayage charge between the Burlington and Northwestern de pots at Crawford. Neb. Shock Patients Not Sent to Hospital for Insane Washington, Jan.' 26. Surgeon General Ireland today denied re ports that soldiers returning from overseas suffered from shell shock have been sent to St. Elizabeth's hospital for the insane at Washing ton. The surgeon general said that only two patients "who could possibly be classified as shell shocsc" have been sent to St. Eliza beth's hospital and that "these two presented symptoms of mental dis order of a character to justify their having been sent to this hospital."

"Please treat as serious what I've said," he said sullenly, his glance traveling along the carpet. "I know very well that I can't make you love me. You never have. Put that aside yes, put that aside. You can go your way up to a certain point but be careful, Irma, be very care ful." For a moment his eye rose to hers, and the sudden leap of suffer ing and passion she saw there brought her for the first time in her easy, Superficial existence, a . real emotion a fear a genuine fear of her husband. , Meanwhile Mrs. Lightbody with the boys, in company with the two Miss Teakes who had returned with them for tea, were amusing them selves in the "great baronial sitting loom during the continued absence of their hostess. "What can we do?" said Mrs. Lightbody, a plump, rolling blond of resolute youthfulness, who was in constant state of anxiety before the pursuing problem of being amused. "Let's cut in for a hand of bridge." "No, Kitty, dwr," said Tody Daw son impertinently; "I will dajice with you, I will amuse you in any other way, but I will not play bridge with you you are entirely- too ex-' pensive and I need the money." Laracy, who was at the piano, rat tling up and down the keys, emerged from behind the keyboard; a podgy, placid, smiling, flat-faced figure, af fecting tight check trousers, glowing socks, and fancy waistcoats. "Did Kitty propose bridge again?" he said, with equal impertinence, re ferring to some disaster of the night before. "She should be stood in a corner." "Yob funny, odd boy! You know I don't play half badlv now." "Not half badly, entirely so," said Laracy. "Well, Tody, if we've got to amuse her, better to keep her dancing. "Yes; that keeps her out of breath," said 1 Dawson, getting up with the air of a martyr. He was a sky-scraping type' of youth, with long face and rising yellow hair which, after four years of college education, flowed back without a flurry from the untroubled calm of his well-pleased expression a beau ideal of that tailorable figure which advertising artists depict in heroic postures, resting on tennis rackets or golf sticks. "How about thumb-westling?' "Oh, I dote on that!" said Mrs. Lightbody, clapping her hands and, turning to the colorless and impas sive Miss Teakes, she explained, in excited phrases, the principles of this latest parlor trick. "My dear, lie's simply wonderful; he can wrestle you with one hand and me with another, blindfolded, and beat us both. It's excruciatingly funny." "T. Y. K." said Dawson, bowing, and meaning, in the abbreviating trick of the day, "Thanking you kindly." "Saying which,. Lord Ronald in clined his noble brow and suffered his beautiful violet eyes to be ban daged," said Laracy, drawing forth a red-and-yellow handkerchief amid the titters of an appreciative audi ence. Dawson and Laracy belonged to that new variety of household pet which supplements the absence of ROCK ISLAND YARD MASTER GIVES OUT THE FULL DETAILS Wife Gains Twenty Pounds Taking Tanlac "Wouldn't Be Without It," He Says. . i Still another widely known and popular railroad man comes forward with his unqualified endorsement for Tanlac. This time, it is C. D. Blatherwick, yardmaster for the C, R. L & P. in Kansas City, Kansas, who resides at 341 South 11th street, that city. "My wife has actually gained twenty pounds in weight since she began taking Tanlac," said Mr. Blatherwick, in an interview re cently, "and has been benefited so much in every way that I am glad to make this statement, which I hope will be the cause of others, who may be suffering as she did, getting relief. "She has been in such a nervous, run-down condition for the past two years that she was confined to her bed a great deal of the time. She was subject to frequent attacks of sick headaches and often had spells of dizziness. She also suffered in tense pain from the gas on her stomach, pains in her back and what seemed to be a complete nervous breakdown. She also had a severe attack of Influenza, which left her so weak she could hardly stand up. "She has been wonderfully bene fited by Tanlac. In fact, I consider fit remarkable the way she has been built up, for she is almost like a dif ferent person. She has been re-, lieved entirely of stomach trouble, headache and backache. I am de lighted more than I can tell with what Tanlac has done for her and we would not be without it now for anything. It is by far the best med cine she has ever taken." Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all Sherman & McConnell Drug com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy under the personal direction of a special Tan lac representative.

A woman of fashion counts from two to 10 of the variety in her train, who fetch and carry, run small errands, adore her in a public, harmless way, accompany her to the theater or opera, surround her at the dansants and invent a hundred amusing tricks to save her from the necessity of leading and other forms of boredom. Wise in their generation, they sel dom make blunders, knowing that they are admitted to intimacy only on the basis of absolute docility, and acquiring the knowledge of worldly values, they wait patiently under such patronage the opportunities of what is called a successful marriage. Dawson and Laracy were unusually gifted. They played in masterly fashion all games of chance where a friendly dollar could be sought. They formed a team, which imi tated the latest comic opera favor ites. They spoke a jargon of their own. They danced like profes sional dancers, with really the most remarkable agility, and, from morn ing to night, kept up a running pat ter of story, anecdote, repartee, and picturesque slang which made easy the task of the most desperate hostess. v About 5 o'clock, the older men be gan to return from polo practice.

Dellabarre's was an in stitution in Chilton society, which, like many similar societies, was formed on feudal lines, congregating around one or two established fami lies, with their castles, their retain ers, and their adherents who, by some mystery of hidden economy, attached themselves to the leaders, imitated their luxuries, and scrambled desperately to marry their children advantageously before the impending day of accounting ar rived.

A group watched this demonstration of the newest step with the solemnity of a re ligious contemplation. Somewhere in the obscurity of the deep baron ial living room, Laracy was pound ing out the rhythmic measure with youthful enthusiasm. The music ended with a crash, and at the charming appearance of Amy at the balustrade, there was a sudden hush of curiosity. ' What the voting d'Artagnan ex perienced at fiis first introduction into the brilliant court of the Hotel de Treville, Amy Forrester felt at this sudden silence which was like the rolling-up of a curtain. The new world to conquer. her world, lay below. She felt a quickening and public self. At the same moment, she realized that she was no longer alone but an integral part of the man who followed at her back. An drew, too, was about to he judged, and by a judgment without the slightest mercy, that accepted only what it could not destroy. The thought of her husband threw her into a sudden timidity, and this in voluntary modesty not only was becoming to her but conciliated the good will of her hostess. In a group of men, who were gathered, glass in hand, at a serv ing table, Mrs. Dellabarre was standing with her hand drawn through her husband's arm, in that punctilious public advertisement of her marital felicity which she never neglected and which she used as a whip over the heads of her admirers, as a sort of warning of the limita tions she imposed on their adora tion. She had slipped into a dark skirt and purple sweater,, drawn her -hair tightly back, contriving to make herself both ugly and distinguished, despite the sudden looming prom inence of her aquiline nose. Gladys Challoner, her dearest rival, had said of her: "When Irma gets herself up like a fright before dinner, she is prepar'ng tc dazzle you after." i As she went to meet the Forres ters, by the indefinable subtleties with which women rate one another, Mrs. Dellabarre saw that Amy was of her world.

"We have met btsfore," she said smiling, with a little extra pressure of her hand, "but we are all anxious to meet the man who could carry off the favorit after her first sea son," she added, extending her hand to Mr. Forrester. "It's rare enough to make you quite" a hero." "How do you do, Mrs. Della barre," he said, in his strong", pleas ant bass, stepping forward with eagerness in his eyes. If she had been agreeably sur prised with Amy, she was quite un prepared for the strong attraction which Andrew Forrester exercised over her from the moment of their first handclasp. Like all neurasthenic natures, she responded instantly to the buoyant health of a dominant vitality. So quick was this pleasant sense of -well-being that the easy phrase of welcome passed complete ly out of her mind, and only the me chanical approach of her husband prevented her showing too plainly her perplexity Anfy had . a confused sense of catching names that meajit nothing to her, of seeing so many human manikins grouped about her Mrs. Lightbody's glance set in criticism, a glance that swept her from head to foot, seeking the weak point; an elderly beau offered a glib compli ment, and she was conscious of murmuring something in answer.
