YOUNG VIOLINIST
GIVES THRILL TO
HER HEARERS
Miss Olga Eitner Plays at
Benefit for Mount St.
Mary's Seminary, As
sisted by Hazel True.
A violin recital was given Satur
day evening at the Brandeis theater
by Olga Eitner, assisted by Hazel
True, pianist and the Mount St.
Mary's Choral society, for the bene
fit of the Building Fund for Mount
St. Mary's Seminary, Sisters of
Mercy.
Miss Eitner is one of Omaha's
younger violinists, but she made her
first appearance here many years
ago as a child prodigy, when she
immediately won recognition for
her, extraordinary talent. The last
time we heard her was several years
apo when she played the Mcndel
sslion Concerto in Metropolitan
hall, quite taking our breath with
the broad beauty of her tone and
the freedom of her interpretation.
She has a big t.'ilcnt and a very
musical temperament. and with
proper training great things may be
expected of her in the future.
Miss Eitner draws a sure bow,
and is capable of much brilliancy.
She played with great care last eve
ning, but hardly with the abandon
to be expected from such an un
usual talent.
She opened her program last eve
ning with the concerto Romantique,
opus, 35 by Godard, playing it in its
entirety, gaining a beautiful tone
finality- in the Adagio and working
up to a brilliant climax at the close.
Andate Cantilena from the con
certo in A minor, by Goltermann,
which opened the second group was
also most aceptable, hut Miss Eitner
was at her best in the Gypsy Airs,
by Sarasatc.
Miss Eitner plays with a poise and
assurance which is delightful.
She was enthusiastically received
by the audience and responded with
numerous ' encores. Miss Hazel
True at the piano, followed Miss
Eitner excellently in her unobtru
sive accompaniments.
The Mount St. Mary's Choral
Society proved to be a large society
of attractive young girls, who con
tributed two groups of songs to the
program.
There was a large audience pres
ent and a neat sum should have been
raised by the fund. H. M. R.

Relates Her Experiences
With American Red

Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Cleland, 403U
Nicholas street, are in receipt of a
letter from their daughter, Miss
Effie R. Cleland, formerly a teach
er in the Central Park school, now
stationed at Nogent s'Jt' Marne,
France, with the American Red
Cross. Miss Cleland's letter reads
in part:
Xogent sur Marne, France.
January 29, 1919.
Dear Farents: Although I have
written to you with as much regu
larity as possible under the circum
stances, I will now attempt the
promised account of my trip with
a little more attention to detail.
As you know I arrived in New
York City on November 1 and im
mediately reported at the headquar
ters of the American Red Cross.
Later I secured accomodations at
the Martha Washington hotel for
the period of my stay in New York.
In order to comply with govern
ment restrictions and regulations,
everything in connection with our
sailing was kept a profound secret,
and no inkling of date, ship or even
of our destination was given us.
No Long Trips.
We were advised to take no long
distance trims and in rpnnrr fre
quently at headquarters. Every-Pp'aces such as
tning in connection witn tne move
ment of soldiers, army supplies, etc.
was at this date in a very chaotic
condition on account ot the near

approach of the end, and the coun
termanding of many sailing orders
was a bitter disappointment to
many who still had the hope of
crossing the sea and taking part in
the work on the other side.
Off For Glasgow.
At last for us the fateful day ar
rived and on November 14 we sailed
on the "Britain," a British ship with
every officer on board a British sea
man, for Glasgow, Scotland.
The weather was perfect the en
tire trip. The sea for mine. It
rocked me to sleep at night and its
scenery' one never tires of. The
moon on the water at night was
glorious. I already have many
souvenirs. One day on the trip the
wireless operator, whom we called
Marconi and Sparks, gave me a
copy in French of the day's news
which he had just written down
from the wireless. There was a
piano on board and we had some
wonderful concerts.
We sailed up the River Clyde on
a most beautiful November after
noon, landing at Glasgow.
We were in London three days
and were quartered at the home of
the Spanish ambassador to Eng
land, across from Buckingham pal
ace. I saw London Tower, West
minster Abbey, The House of Parli
ment, London Bridge, The Old
Curiosity Shop, Lincoln's Inn
Fields and many more wonderful
Trafalgar Square
Piccadilly Circus and Hyde Park.
We attended Thanksgiving serv
ices at Westminster Abbey and it
was there, where I had my first
realization of how the people suffer
ed when the old bishop gave thanks
for the American army and Presi
dent Wilson. I was completely over
come. Men and women with tears
streaming down their faces and uni
forms from all quarters of the
globe, was more than I could stand,
I love the English people; they are
so cheerful and polite.
There were thousands of wounded
men on the streets, it seemed to me,
but they consider themselves lucky
if they have only lost an arm or a
leg, unlucky when chin or eyes are
gone. 1 he motto is, don t pity a dis
abled man, get him a job. In spite
of fog, soot, mud and jams, our stay
in London was splendid.
On November 29 we went to
Southhampton, crossed the channel
to La Havre and then to Paris. The
pall of war seemed to hang heavier
over the French capital. For break
fast at a good hotel we had black
coffee, brown bread and jam and
I had to be provided with a bread
card and a permit from the Police
department while in Paris. Up till
the time I was assigned to cuty
saw neither milk, sugar, butter, meat,
eggs or chocolate. While in Paris
I saw the king and queen of Bel
gium and if you can, imagine your
daughter riding on the subways of
Paris and walking through the
king's gardens every day to headquarters.

Organized' Competition by
Small Packers as Proposed
at Chicago Causes Interest
Among Omaha Companies.
Organized competition by inde
pendent packers in foreign markets
proposed at a Chicago meeting last
week, has created some interest at
the South Side market. Represen
tatives of 60 small packers, under di
rection of F. S. Snyder, head of the
meat division of the United States
food administration, met and laid
plans for an "export corporation."
The plan, which was given a tenta
tive approval, provides for the or
ganization of a company, in which
each independent packer is ex
pected to take $5,000 worth of stock.
This organization is to find an ex
port market for the products of
all, but the goods sold will remain
under the label of the individual
packer.
It is estimated that class A pack
ers or packers doing a gross busi
ness of less than $100,000,000 a year.
have been doing approximately oo
per cent of the meat export business
during the war. South Side inde
pendent packers do not come under
the classification of "class A" pack
ers, and as a result the South Side
market will be affected less by this
organization than markets where
"class A" packers are located. The
"big packers" on the South Side
expect to feel little if any effect from
the organization, it is said.

To Discuss Social Hygiene
at Grace Methodist Church
Rev. C. C. Wilson, pastor of the
Grace Methodist church, Twenty-
fifth and E streets, announces that
a mass meeting will be held at 7:30
this evening in the church for the
purpose of discussing social hygiene
as outlined by the government
bureau of health. Dr. Palmer
Findley will be the principal speak
er. The discussion of this topic was
requested in churches by the gov
ernment Sunday, February 9. In
order to observe the Roosevelt
memorial on that Sunday, however,
the topic was left untouched until
today.
Preceding Dr. Findley's address
E. P. Baker will lead the meeting in
community singing.
Friends of South Omaha
Pioneer Give Surprise
Mrs. L. E. Rhyno, 3108 Y street,
a pioneer resident of the South Side,
was given a birthday surprise party
by a number of friends last Fri
day. A delicious luncheon was
served and the afternoon was spent
in music and games. A beautiful
birthday cake with the proper num
ber of tiny pink candles was pre
sented and placed on a pedestal in
the archway leading from the din
ning room to the living room. Cur
tains were drawn, and while candles
were burning Mrs. Rhyno was pre
sented with a gift and the good
wishes of all present.
Negotiations With Huns as to
Peace Treaty to Open Upon
Return of Wilson to Paris
Reduction of German Military and Naval Power to
Impotency Is Part of Allied Plan Enemy
Must Be Forced to Abolish Conscription
Plan for Next Ten Years.
By JAY JEROME WILLIAMS.
(Staff Correspondent of Universal Service.)
(Special Wlrelcn IMntrl).)
Paris, Feb. 22. (By Radio via London.) Optimism
reigns at the Quai d'Orsay today. One forecast has it that
by the time President Wilson returns to France the negotia
tions will have reached such a stage as to make possible the
opening sessions with the German for signing the treaty
proper.
If this is the case it means that peace will be an ac
complished fact by the middle of April or the first of May at
the latest.
Thereafter, however, the allies will still continue to
work over many complex questions that have arisen since
the conference opened here. The reason for the optimism
tonight rests in the agreement on the final armistice terms,
which will form the basis of a treaty of peace.
In this connection, though these
terms must not be confused with
the terms given to the Germans at
Treves by Marshal Foch two days
ago, under the present arrange
ments those terms operate continu
ally in 72-hour stretches with the
allies retaining the privilege of ter
minating the agreement at any time
after the conclusion of the first 72
hours.
The conditions simply constitute
a renewal of the old terms.
Four Main Points.
The main points of the new and
final terms follow:
1 Reduction of the German
navy to impotency to a greater
degree than it has been re
duced by the surrender of the
fleet and submarines to the
allies.
2 Reduction of the German
army to 25 divisions not ex
ceeding 25,000 each together
with an added provision against
its concentration on the west
ern front.
3 Demolition of the Ger
man fortifications on the west
ern front.
A Control of the German
munitions, which will undoubt
edly mean occupation of the
larger German munitions cen
ters by the allies.
Abolish German Conscription.
One proposition, which is at pres
ent being considered, has to do with
Germany's military future, and if
sentiment crystallizes in favor of it,
it will figure in the peace treaty. It
is the argument which favors the
abolition of conscription in Ger
many for the next ten years.
Should Germany lament and say
that this would leave her at the
mercy of het enemies, the allies
answer will be that the league of na
tions offers suftkent protection.
Furthermore, such a provision in
the peace treaty, it is reckoned
here would have a good effect on
France and Italy. Their populations
would see the dissipation of the
menace of an armed Germany and
would gradually realize the futility
of maintaining great standing
armies themselves.
By far the most important fea
ture, though, is the belief that Ger
many after ten years divorce from
swashbuckling militarism would not
consent to take up the burden of
conscription for a great standing
army.
The new armistice terms explain
the howl emitted by Dr. Erzberger
at Treves. He was hot protesting
against the continuation of the old
conditions, but had an inkling of
the new terms.
At the session of the "big five"
yesterday Italy rejected the plan of
arbitrating the territorial question
with Jugo-Slavia. Italy thinks the
peace conference should decide all
territorial claims.
Serbia submitted her demand for
a slice of Bulgaria on strategical
grounds. '
There has been no discussion as
yet of the future of German Aus
tria. The American view inclines
to a union of that people with Ger
many on the principle of the self
determination of peoples.

Federal Co-Operation
With the Employment
Bureaus is Assured
George J. Kleffner, state director
of labor, working under the direc
tion and supervision of the United
States depatment of labor, has re
ceived information which encour
ages him in the belief that the gov
ernment will continue its work of
co-operating with the states and
municipalities in meeting the labor
exigencies of this after-war-period.
The following information was
telegraphed to him on Saturday
from the department of labor offices
in Washington:
The following letter defining the policy
of the Department of Labor toward the
question of Joint control of the Unites
States employment service by the states
and federal government has been sent liy

An Unusual
Investment Opportunity
I am the manager of a well known Omaha manufactur
ing concern.
I invested money in the business for the following rea
sons: The article manufactured is widely known and has been
on the market for eight years. It has a national distribu
tion, is patented in the United States and foreign countries.
It is in everyday use by the general public, invariablv
gives satisfaction and the sales possibilities are practically
unlimited.
It has exclusive features that take it out of competition,
and the margin of profit is large. It is sold through big job
bers and the elemdnt of credit risk is eliminated.
The business is being conducted by experienced, capable
and conservative men in all departments.
, A national advertising campaign is now being planned
that will create an enotmous demand and the article has the
inherent merit that makes it a sure fire repeater.
I believe that an investment in this business is secure
and that it will yield exceptional dividends.
Additional capital is required to finance the enlarged
operations that are planned and a limited amount of pre
ferred, participating, cumulative 8 stock is being offered
for subscription.
This stock is being sold by the'"cmpany and will be free
from promotion expense. All the money received from the
sale of stock goes into the business.
Send me your name and address and I will give you all
the details so that you can investigate the proposition
thoroughly.
