BORAH ATTACKS
WILSON'S WORLD
LEAGUE PROJECT
Idaho Senator Insists U. S.
Should Cling to Ameri
canism as Defined
by Roosevelt.
Washington, Feb. 21. Criticizing
.lie league of nations as "the most
radical departure" from President
Washington's policies and as spell
ing the end of the Monroe doctrine,
Senator Borah of Idaho, republican
member of foreign relations commit
tee, declared today in the senate
that before the plan was adopted
the American people should be al
lowed to give a verdict on it.
The Ickho senator, who recently
declined President Wilson's invita
tion to a White House conference
next Wednesday to discuss the
league constitution, insisted that the
United States should steadfastly
cling to Americanism as established
by the fathers and as recently de
fined by former President Roose
velt. He charged that former Pres
ident Taft made misleading state
ments about the effect of the league's
plan on American policies.
Congratulated by Colleagues.
When Senator Borah concluded
an unusual demonstration occurred.
While crowded galleries applauded,
senators and visiting representatives
crowded around the senator seeking
to congratulate him. Among the
senators were several democrats, in
cluding Thomas of Colorado; Gore
of Oklahoma, Smith of Georgia and
vardaman of Mississippi,
Before Mr. Borah spoke Senator
Sherman of Illinois, republican, in
troduced a resolution proposing that
the senate request President Wilson
not to discuss the league until after
he confers with the senate, the co
ordinate treaty making branch, and
to "preserve an impartial and un
biased mind" on the subject
Hitchcock Preparing Address.
Tomorrow the attack on the
league in the senate is to be con
tinued withi Senator Keed of Mis
souri, 'democrat, speaking. Sen
ator Hitchcock, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, and Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois, democratic
whip, are reported planning address
es in support of the league early
next week, when Senator Cummins of
Jowa, republican, may also make an
address.
Senator Borah said he made his
speech today especially because of
what he termed misleading state
ments of former President Taft. He
disagreed with Mr. Taft's assertions
that the league does not conflict
with the Monroe doctrine or Wash
ington's injunction against entan
gling alliances.
Declaring that America would be
outvoted five to one by England
alone, because of the recognition
of British colonies, Senator Borah
said the league constitution was "the
greatest triumph of English diplo
macy of three centuries." He added
that the English press and other
foreign authorities concede that the
plan involves the end of the Mon
roe doctrine.
Omaha Waitress Becomes
Heiress to $400,000 Estate
From a poorly paid Omaha
waitress to an heiress worlh $400,
000 is the transition throuRh which

las street, is going when she re
ceives the legacy left her by her
aunt. Miss Morris has just been

"Calling Down" From M. P.
Fur Collars and Canes Are in Violation of U. S. Army
Uniform Regulations; Generals, Colonels,
' Chaplains and Privates, All Look Alike
To Sergeant.
London, Feb. 21. (Correspond
ence of Associated Press.) Major
General Biddle, commanding Amer
ican forces in England, has been
good-naturedly but firmly reminded
by a sergeant of the military police
that he was not conforming to regu
lations of dress. Likewise Bishop
C. H. Brent of Boston, an army
chaplain, and Col. John C. Groom,
at one time head of the military po-
! lice in France, have been numbered
among officers who have been
"called down" for not adhering
strictly to uniform regulations.
Fur is not allowed anywhere on
the American uniform. But in
choosing a new raincoat General
Biddle selected one with a very
comfortable fur collar. The first
time he stepped out of the entrance

Polish Premier Appeals to
Parliament for Vote of Con
fidence; Pilsudski Made
Head of State.
Paris, Feb. 21. Official announce
ment was made today that the rep
resentatives of the allies ai their
meeting at the Quai D'Orsay today
decided that the allies should recog
nize the Polish government, headed
by Ignace Jan Paderewski.
Warsaw, Feb. 21. The second

subject to the approval of the diet.
Ignace Jan Paderewski, the premiei
informed the parliament of the
country's situation and asked for a
vote of confidence in the ministry.
The presence of peasants in na
tional costume, with here and there
priests and rabbis, testified that the
assembly was not ruled by a clique
of landed nobility.
Asks For Large Army.
'Premier Padcrewiski in a lengthy
address, declared that the country
needed a large army and compulsory
service to fight bolshevism. Second-
lyv he said, another effort must be
made to promote the prosperity of
the workers and give them better
homes. Land must, be secured to
peasants who had none and more
given to those who had only a little,
but land reforms must not be car
ried out too hastily. Equal rights
must be given to all Polish citizens
and freedom of speech guaranteed.

deepest sorrow and condemnation of
these shameful acts of murder.
Nothing shows the breakdown of
order more clearly than when mur
der becomes a political weapon. If
the sacrifice death of Herr Eisner
has good results, they will be in
bringing us all together to do away
with evil conditions. It would
mean the ruin of Germany if all did
not take this view and join in this
condemnation." ,

Storm Police Station.
, Copenhagen, Feb. 21, Spartacan
forces on Thursday stormed the
police-station and arrested the chief
of police and several cither persons
according to reports from Berlin.
The government force3 attacked the
Spartacans and by 7 o'clock in the
evening had recaptu ed all public
buildings.
Several soldiers were wounded in
the fighting. Sailors who formed
the Spartacan garrisons under the
name of the "Committee for Pro
tection" were arrested.
Early in the day the Spartacans
had arrested the secretary of Pre
mier Eisner and two members of
the workmen s council, in addition
to the chief of police. All those ar
rested were released.

the military policeman at the door.
"General, I must inform you that
the fur collar you are wearing is a
violation of uniform regulations,"
the sergeant said.
The best the general could do was
to smile and hurry into the car, as
he was late for his appointment, but
the fur collar is no longer on- the

Bishop Brent also erred as re

under 21 years of age from securing
it in any form.
They contended that they were
sincerely engaged in an effort that
would be constructive legislation,
that the present law was nullified
because it was not backed by pub
lic sentiment and that it was a
menace to all law because it had no
qualities which the public could
respect.
They called the attention of the
members of the house to the fact
that the senate of the state of Iowa
had passed a law similar to the one
they advocated, after Iowa had had
experience with a law like that on
the Nebraska statutes which was
not enforceable.
They agreed that to all intents
and purposes there was now no
law on the subject of the regula
tion, sale of or gift of cigarets, be
cause the present statute was a dead
letter and they were greater friends
of the movement toward prohibi
tion of the use of cigarets by per
sons under 21 than the persons who
opposed the passage of the bill.
Larsen of Douglas, offered a mo
tion to prohibit the sale, manufac
ture, gift or use of cigarets in any
form in this state by any person,
but this was also voted down.
It was brought out during the de
bate that the law as amended has
been sanctioned by the attorney gen
eral, who has assured the sponsors
that It will be a workable and en
forceable law, because it will have
public sentiment behind it, and that
this department will see to its en
forcement. Rodman of Kimball, made a
masterly speech in favor of the bill,
declaring it was a step forward and I
a conscientious and sincere effort
toward effective regulation.
Congress Recognized
Insurance as a Big
Business Feature
"The recognition of insurance as
one of the leading lines of business
receiving consideration by the Trans
mississippi Readjustment congress
is in line with the progressive char
acter of the entire undertaking," said
H. H. Lovell, insurer, in speaking
of the congress just closed in Oma
ha. "The spirit of the congress has
been largely the recognition of ne
cessity to halt a growing tendency
towards centralization and bolshe
vistic paternalism in all lines. The
cabled news from Russia of the tak
inu over without recompense of the
entire assets of all insurance com
panies of the soviet government,
had it come a day earlier might
have strongly emphasized to the
congress the necessity of halting a
similar tendency by the unpatriotic
and ultra-socialistic elements in this
country.
"The congress was not represen
tative of either extreme capital in
terests or the opposite, but of sub
stantial, honest and aggressive busi
ness interests, and the strong recom
mendations included in the resolu
tions expressing the combined
thought of the conference along the
line of independence of individual
effort and initiative, -the depreca
tion of unfair treatment of public
utilities by governmental agencies,
and against condemnation and un
fair publicity by unproven charges
against business organizations can
not apply nor be more helpful to
any interest than to the interests of
insurance.
"The entire trend of public
thought influenced by the broadly
educational discussions of these
problems is sure to be 1 conducive
of broader and more' considerate
recognition of the infinitely exten
sive relations between insurance and
other industry. The conference
cannot fail to be most beneficial
in continuing prosperous business
activities, and insurance is so close
ly related to business and business
so dependent upon it that the gen
eral good to general business will
be shared by all lines of insurance
endeavor."
