SITUATION III
POLAND BEFORE
COMMISSION
UKrainians Threaten to Burn
Oil Wells If Forced to Re
treat; Government Re
fuses to Negotiate.
Warsaw, Feb. 20. (By Associated
Press.) The inter-allied commis
sion appointed by the peace confer
ence to investigate the situation in
Poland is rapidly Retting settled and
is preparing to face many problems,
the most important of which are the
food supply and the differences be
tween the Poles and the Ukrainians
regarding the oil region near Lcm
berg, Galicia.
In regard to the oil dispute, the
Ukrainian government announces
that it will not negotiate with the
Poles as long as the Poles occupy
any disputed territory.
The Ukrainians threaten to burn
the oil. wells in their possession if
they are forced to rereat.
Millions Invested.
It is estimated that 500,000,000
francs of French, British and Bel
gian capital is invested in the dis
puted oil fields. The Ukrainians are
obtaining arms by the sale of oil in
Budapest and other places.
The American members of the
mission believe that after first aid in
the form of food and clothes is given
to Poland,, credit sho'uld be extended
to Poland so that the relief work
can proceed along regular lines.
The inter-allied mission must fix
the boundaries of Poland and neigh
boring states so that there will be no
more disputes between neighbors.
It must also organize finances in
Poland and consider plans for the
improvement of roads, railways and
waterways. Other problems ' con
cern industrial development and ag
ricultural reconstruction.
Flour Ships Arrive.
Three vessels loaded with flour
from America have arrived at Dan
zig and the first trainload of this,
flour is expected here tomorrow.
A Polish relief ship from New
York is expected at Danzig, Febru
ary 24, while a relief train of 19 cars
arrived here today from Switzer
land. Eleven of the cars were loaded
with milk, food, clothing and medi
cal supplies from the American Red
Cross, which will be distributed in
Lemberg, Warsaw and the mining
districts.
Poland is willing to pay for food
relief, but she has as yet no exten
sive credits and these must be ar
ranged. It is planned to introduce
a new monetary system witn rne
un:t being the lech, which is similar
to the France franc, but, according
to Americans here and Stanislas -'ar-lowski,
director of the Handlowgo
bank, this money must be stabilized
by foreign credit to protect the coun
try from bankruptcy.
Adjust Territorial Disputes.
' The inter-allied mission ' also is
considering plans to adjust territor
ial disputes between the Poles and
the Germans, the Poles and the
Czecho-Slovaks and the Poles and
the Ukrainians; so that Poland vill
have no enemies at her back and will
be able to present a united 'ront to
the bolsheviki. In the Teschen dis
trict the Poles and Czecho-Slovaks
are resting on their arms pending
the report of the mission.
The Polish campaign against the
bolsheviki and peasant bands be
comes more active each day. The
Poles found a large quantity of mu
nitions at Brest-Litovsk. T'. ey are
getting guns and rifles from the re
tiring Germans and even from the
bolsheviki.

tion of the long-delayed conference

coal, phosphate and sodium lands

the senate today, but opposition by
Senator Smoot of Utah, one of the
conferees who had declined to sign
the report, prevented final action.
Senator Pittman of Nevada, chair
man of the senate managers, said
he would call up the report again to
morrow. Senator Smoot, who charged that
the conferees had inserted new mat
ter in the bill as finally agreed upon,
opposed the general leasing plan.

HOW TO AVOID
If your child has a cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of school and keep him off the
street until fully recovered, as there is much more dan
ger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures
the cold and lessens the danger of diphtheria, or any
other germ disease being contracted.
"VIRTUOUS WIVES'
CHAPTER XXXII.
They were seated in a little bowef
of wistaria. Amy Forrester and Mrs.
Bracken, and, by the gravity of their
expression, the conversation muy
have been serious. Behind them,
the low white bulk of the Colonial
house shone over the lawns rich
with the deep green tinge of early
May. Before them an old-fashioned
garden, with early note of crocus,
tulip, and narcissus, wound in
pleasant surprises out toward the
fields, where the farm hands were
harrowing the red soil for the early
planting. In .the paddock to the
left Allan Bracken was giving the
first lessons to Bob, aged 8, bal
anced on the back of a fat pony,
while the three younger children,
perched on the fence, were watching
with tense admiration. Above them,
in the arbor, the first clusters of
wistaria were swelling in the bud.
A weeping willow and 8 grove of
maple trees in full leaf caught the
slight impulse of the young breeze,
redolent with the perfume of bud
ding time. A lazy, fluffy cloud hung
motionless against the blue span. It
was pleasant to every sense, vaguely
troubling to the imagination. It
was in the full awakening country,
and it was spring.
"I envy you more than any wom
an I know," said Amy Forrester,
glancing toward the distant roll of
hills, where the blue flash of the
bay came rippling up with a myriad
glancing helmets. "1 wish I could
live like this away from New York,
out among real things. I used to
and," she added, with a laughing
glance at her striped skirt, her chif
fon blouse, and arched white slipper
that gave her the air of a Dresden
shepherdess, "and I used to dress in
Overalls and ride home on the hay
wagons."
"I wonder if you'd be happy
now," said Mrs. Bracken frankly.
She was'iii heavy boots, khaki skirt,
and broad-brimmed hat, and her
knitted sweater was covered with
green remnants, while her hands
were stained with the flowers which
she was sorting in her lap.
"I wonder," said Amy, pensively.
She stirred up the gravel with the
tip of her lace parasol without look
ing at her companion. In the two
days she had spent at the farm she
had more than once been on the
point of taking Claire into her con
fidence. Yet each time she found
the opening difficult. "I don't see
why you like me," she said at last,
without warning.
Claire Bracken laughed her hap
py, whole-hearted laugh.
"In the first place, because you are
a lovable person," she said directly.
"I think I am all wrong," said
Amy, frowning.
Mrs. Bracken studied her a mo
ment, trying to make out how
genuine was this confession. Then
she said, smiling,
"Yes, I think you are."
"What! You do think so?" said
Amy, startled, for she was far from
thinking so herself.
"Yes; but you are no worse than
all the rest and the pity is with
you, there is so much real good in
you. You really ought to count."
"If I only had a home like this,
heavens, how willingly I'd give up
all the rest!" said Amy, impulsively.
"I'm not so sure of your repen
tance, pretty lady," said Claire,
smiling.
"Why not?"
"I think you've come up to a
great climax, and now everything is
relaxed a little tame perhaps. It's
the end of the season, but the ap
petite will return."
Amy laughed in confusion.
"Heavens I It's much easier fac
ing my conscience than facing you!"
"Well, am I right?"
"Yes, I think you are," she admit
ted, serious all at once. "I've had a
taste of excitement, and I crave it.
I suppose it's my destiny and I'll
go on burning myself out. And yet
I'm restless I'm not really
happy!"
"Why don't you have children?"
said Claire. f
"So soon?" said Amy, aghast, for
she was far from expecting this an
swer. She started to defend her
self by falling back on Andrew, but
she was in the mood of confession,
which also is a dramatic impulse of
the coquette. "Frankly, I don't want
them now because I'm selfish, be
cause I want to enjoy my youth.
Now you know the worst about me.
I adore society; crave excitement,
and I can't give it up. Can you un
derstand a selfish little beast like
myself?"
"I can understand a good many
things," said Claire calmly. "I think
I may see you better than you do
yourself. You are the kind that
can do a lot of harm in this world or
a lot of good."
"I once felt the way you do
when I was first married I wanted
children, but Andrew, my husband,
didn't want them." ,
"Why?"
"Because he was foolish enough
to want me to play!"
"And yet you are not happy?"
Marshal Foch is Expected

No Rail Legislation Till
the Next Regular Session
Washington, Feb. 20. Congress
will attempt no legislative solution
of railroad problems until the next
regular session, members of the sen

said today when open hearings,
conducted since early in January,
were practically concluded.
DIPHTHERIA
THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1919.
'(Copyright, 1618, by LitUe. Brow a ft Co.)"
Amy shook her head, then the
corrected herself.
"That is, I am restless."
At this moment, across the fields
came the galloping thud of horses'
hoofs. Monte Bracken and Fifi
Nordstrum came racing up to the
paddock with the result that Mas
ter Bob, in the excitement, went
sprawling onto the sod.
"He's fallen!" exclaimed Amy,
jumping to her feet.
Mrs. Bracken glanced up without
agitation.
"Bob'a a good soldier," she said
simply. "The sod's soft"
The next moment Monte Bracken
had swung the youngster ua into the
saddle in - front of him and came
cantering along the fence.
"All right; no bones broken. A
chip of the old block," he said, wav
ing his hat in delight at the laugh
ing youngster. Then, wheeling, he
rode back to where Fifi, who had
rounded up the fat pony, was wait
ing. "I wish Monte would marry your
cousin," said Mrs. Bracken sud
denly. Amy opened the parasol and
closed it again, her eyes on the pad
dock. Just why this should throw
her into confusion surprised her.
Since the ball she had carefully
avoided Monte Bracken, and, despite
the intimacy of the house party, she
had maneged never to be left in
tete-a-tete. Yet she found herself
resenting Mrs. Bracken'a sugges
tion. "They will never fall in love with
each other, I'm afraid."
"Why not?"
"They are too much alike and
too good friends," she explained.
"But you do surprise me. I thought
Fifi would be the last person you
would pick out with your ideas. I
thought you would look on her as a
wild, harum-scarum tomboy, who
would never settle down." She felt
that she was putting too much emo
tion into her objection, so she add
ed, "That's not my belief."
"She has two qualities that will
make her marriage a happy one,"
said Claire, without looking at her
companion. "She is loyal, and she
has pride. Whatever belongs to her,
she will make a success. I like Fifi
very much."
"Is this aimed at me?" thought
Amy. She hazarded a glance. Mrs.
Bracken was bending over her flow
ers. "Perhaps you are right about Fifi.
The trouble is I don't think she
would ever think of marriage unless
she were head over heels in love
or your brother-in-law either."
"That is the trouble. It's a pity.
They are so suited to each other.
She would be a real force behind
him. Afterward they would grow
together.
"That's rather the continental
point Bf view than ours, isn't it?"
said' Amy, smiling.
, "There is a middle ground be
tween the two. Do you wish me to
speak frankly?"
Amy hesitated, and again the
point of her dainty parasol traced
arabesques in the gravel.
"I am a little afraid of you," she
said, raising her glance. You are
too happy."
"You need never be afraid of me,
whatever happens," said Mrs.
Bracken; She leaned over and laid
her hand on Amy's with gentleness
in her eyes, such as only those who
have borne a secret cross can
know. "We have wanted to talk to
each other from the first, haven't
we? Why not now?",
"It is very hard just now," said
Amy. Her eyes filled with tears.
She rose, took a few steps, and came
back. "I am very foolish. Don't
mind me." She sat down, stared
ahead a long moment, and then said
slowly: "Mrs. Bracken, what is a
girl to do who has married blindly
and then suddenly wakes up to the
fact that there is no longer any
thing in common with her husband,
neither love nor sympathy nor un
derstanding of any sort? What is
she to do with her life and par
ticularly if the moment comes when
she meets some one else who she
knows would mean happiness in
every way if she had only known
how to choose? What is she to
do?"
"You are not there yet."
"No, no but it will come; of
course it will come. A woman
really must love sometime 1" She
turned, terrified at what she had
said. "Do you know it's horrible
what I've told you? I've never even
thought it myself."
"I don't admit that things are so
bad," said Mrs. Bracken shaking
her head. "And I don't think you
are right in your estimation of your
feelings toward your husband.
"I am I am," she said ob
stinately, her eyes obscured.
"You teel too much what you say
not to care," said Mrs. Bracken
quietly; "and as for him, I know he
loves you." She came near adding,
"By the look of pain I've seen in
his face," but unwisely she refrained.
"Good heavensl We are 1,000
miles apartl Amy sprang up again
and stood against the, arbor, tearing
off the young buds and twisting
them in her fingers. "I can't talk
about it just now. I can't go into
details as I would have to," she said
hurriedly.
"Then don'rAiy dear. When you
are ready "
"Yes, yes; some later time," she
answered. She was not ready yet
to face such a clear-eyed judge, not
yet sure of the verdict.
"Let us avoid personalities, then
said Mrs. Bracken, and, for the first
time, her glance rested on the young
wife with a touch of uneasiness. "Let
me see if I can make you under
stand my point of view about mar
riage," she continued, in a quieter
tone, which brought Amy gradually
back to calm. "I may seem to you
old-fashioned. I don't believe in the
modern women the women of the
world, that is. I don't believe in the
way young girls are brought up to
feel that they owe nothing to life
but to accept the sacrifices of others.
I don't believe in the disorganiza
tion that a young girl of 18 is pitch
forked into in what is called her 'de
butante year.' I don't believe in
cramming into a few months all the
pleasures which should come natur
ally fnrough life and be enjoyed
naturally. I don't think it's fair to
the girl or to the man who has to
marry her. I " don't believe in a
woman being freed of all responsi
bilities as a wife or a mother, exist
ing only to enjoy what her husband
makes, without sharing his worries
or helping in the economy of his ex
istence. Moreover, I don't believe
Own Johnson's Sparkling So
ciety Novel, which is making
such a hit in tba moviet.
in the modern wife, after a year or
two, a baby or two, taking up again
the same life of flattery and adula
tion she has had as a young girl."
Amy felt her cheeks go red. '
"And yet you like me!" she said,
with a gasp.
"It's not the woman's fault that's
the pity. It's the American senti
mentalization toward us. It's we
who are cheated."
"What do you believe in then?"
"I believe in bringing up my girls
to marry, not in a mawkih, senti
mental outburst, but with a know
ledge of the theings they expect in a
husband, whom they wish to admire,
cherish.and assist. And I am going
to bring them tip to be prepared to
play a great part in that marriage,
to know the conduct of the house
hold, to develop their executive
qualities, and- I am going to bring
them up to a belief that the high
est ideal is to be a wife and a moth
er and to know how to maintain that
ideal in the eyes of their husbands
and their children. I'm going to do
that, because I want their happi
ness." "Yes butTvhat ideal?" Amy mur
mured, drawing a deep breath.
"The ideal of duty, naturally," said
Mrs. Bracken.
"Oh, duty!" exclaimed the young
er woman, in a burst of revolt. "It's
always thatl After all, what is
du.&?" .
Duty, myvjear, is simply self
respect," said Mrs. Bracken gently.
"It means that what a woman does,
does not depend on any such phil
osophies as you and I hear every
day if my husband does that, I'll
do it, too. It means that you are
brought up first, last and always,
with the need of respecting yourself,
and, whatever comes, you will never
soil that ideal. You see, I belong
to a family that doesn't simply go
to church," she added, after a
moment, "but makes its religious be
lief in the reason of its conduct."
"Oh, yes; if you believe I under
stand," Amy said, in a low voice.
"And if you don't what are you
all seeking? Happiness, of course.
Do you think Irma Dellabarre or
Gladys is really happy? Are you?"
"Mrs. Bracken, it must sound ter
rible," said Amy, and the tears came
to her eyes again; "I think I am
happy, I truthfully think I am. I
might say no in some moods. A
dozen times since I've been here and
loved your life and all that, I could
have said no, but at the bottom"
She rose and shook her head, "Yes;
I want the life I lead."
, "Answer me in a year."
"Life is easier for you," Amy said,
hurrying on. "You have made no
mistakes. Don't be too hard on
others. Don't judge me too severe
ly." "I don't," said Mrs. Bracken, ris-.
ing in turn. She came and stood by
her side. "And the proof is I am
going to ask something of you."
"I will do anything in the world
for you, Mrs. Bracken anything
you ask," said Amy 'impulsively.
"Will you?"
"Anything if" you'll only be my
friend!"
"I want Monte to marry your
cousin," said Mrs. Bracken. "Don't
do anything to .interfere with it, will
you?" : . '
"But why " For a moment she
could not get her breath. Then she
said hurriedly, "Why, Mrs. Bracken,
such a thing why, 1 have never "
"Don't!" said Mrs. Bracken, look
ing' at her and, before that clear
look, Amy's glance fell. "You at
tract him very strongly. I saw that
from the first night. There is much
that is fine in him. I want to see
him happy. He means so much to
us. ....
Amy looked at her in wonder, and
this time it was Mrs. Bracken's
eyes that turned away. ,
Something caught her like the
closing cruel fingers 'across her
heart. A sob rose in her throat, be
fore something she could not see
clearly. , She caught Mrs. Bracken's
hand and kissed it.
"I promise," she said hastily. "I
promise I will do everything I can
to help."

REGOMMEflD FINE
A! PRISON FOR
ALL ANARCHISTS
Would Use Drastic Measures
to Stop Display of Flags
and Emblems of
Violence.
Washington, Feb. 20. Legislation
to punish anarchistic activities or
propaganda and the display of flags
or other emblems of violence was
recommended unanimously today
by the senate judiciary committee.
The committee drafted and or
dered favorably reported a measure
combining the "red flag" bill of Sen
ator New -of Indiana and other bills
designed to check unlawful agita
tion. Meet Senator's Demands.
The committee acted without
awaiting the outcome of the inquiry
into radical propaganda now being
conducted. The new bill, which is
expected to meet the demands of
Senators New, Jones and others,
who have insisted upon action to
curb I. W. W. and other radical ac
tivities, follows:
"Section 1. That the display, or
exhibition at any meeting, gathering
or parade, public or private, of any
flag, banner, or emblem, symboliz
ing or intended by the person ot
persons displaying or exhibiting the
same, to symbolize a purpose to ov
erthrow, by force of violence, or by
physical injury to personal property,
or by the general cessation of in
dustry, the government of the
United States or all government, is
hereby declared to be unlawful.
"Section 2. It shall be unlawful
for any person to advocate or in
cite or to write or with intent to
forward such purpose to print, pub
lish, sell or distribute any docu
ment, book, circular, paper, journal
or other written or printed .com
munication in or by which there is
advocated or incited the overthrow
by force or violence, or by physical
injury to personal property, or by
the general cessation of industry,

States or all government
"Section 3. That any person or
persons convicted of violating any
section of this act shall be fined not
more than $5,000 or imprisoned for
not more than five years, or both."
A sub-committee consisting of
Senators Walsh of Montana, King of
Utah and Brandegee of Connecticut,
was authorized to add an additional
section extending the bill's provi
sions to transmission through the
mails of the proscribed propaganda.
Army Colonel Discredits

Washington, Feb. 20. Col.
George F. Stewart,, commanding the
