n5 BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 18. 1919. GOVERNMENT OF GERMANY NOW IN IIANDS0F ARMY Monarchist Reaction Reported "Growing1 in Berlin and Military Controlling the . New Government. London',' March 17, Special dis patches from Berlin report that the suppression of the recent Spartacan outbreak there has shown thai a military aruj monarchist reaction is growing and overshadowing the new government. The Berlin correspondent of the Mail, who on February 27 sent a dispatch, , outlining plans for a monarchist uprising in Germany, has arrived in London, having left Berlin on March 14, after a resi dent there of three months. He reiterates the statements made in his dispatch, saying that President Ebert, Chancellor Scheidemann and Minister of War Noske are merely puppets. He declares - that for the purpose of retaining power they nave allowed menibetrs of the mili tary caste to reappear as organizers of the new republican armies. "These men are the real gov ernors of Germany," he says. ''They make the edicts and Chancellor Scheidemann and his colleagues willingly sign them." Army Rules Again. j Similar testimony is given 1 y other correspondents in telegraphing from Berlin, some stating that the cap ture of the suburb of Lichtenberg lias been intentionally prolonged with a view to exterminating the Spartacans, whose treatment at the hands of government troops is said to be sharply condemned. While alleged atrocities are attributecT to the Spartacans, details which have teen given are doubted or denied. be much exaggerated'. The corre spondents concur 'in the statement that extreme bitterness has been ere. ated against the government troops and that further trouble is inevit able. According to a dispatch to the Mail, the Spartacan revolt will cer tainly recur in ever increasing forces unless a miracle happens. It adds that Herr Noske's forces have been recruited by bribes and promise of big ration and that to this may be attributed some of the food shortage in Berlin. Little Importance Attached to Tien Tsin Trouble by Minister Washington, March 17. Minister Reinscii at Peking advised the State department today that all wa quiet at Tien Tsen, where there was trouble last week, between Ameri can soldiers and Japanese, and that he, was sending a full report of the incident by mail. The department instructed him to report all impor tant facts by cable immediately. The minister ,has made po men- tion of the nature of the difficulty. The fact that Minister Reinsch thought it unnecessary to send his report by cable is regarded here as indicating that he did not' attach great importance to the matter.

THREE MILLIONS MORE ASKED FOR WAR INSURANCE Forty Million Dollars Now Being' Paid Out Monthly, Say$ Secretary Glass of Bureau. Washington, March 17. Secretary Glass has asked President Wilson to set aside more than $3,000,000 from the presidential war emergency fund to cbver the cost of continued opera tion of the war risk Insurance bu reau for the next few months until congress can remedy its rectnt fail ure to appropriate funds for the bureau- The president has not yet given an answer and if he does not make the money available, the ac tivities of the war risk bureau may be greatry curtailed. It was officially stated today that the bureau has funds to cover allot ment and allowance checks to be sent out during the remainder of March and during April. This really means March allowances, since the checks are distributed one month late. Unless some available funds are found by early in May, allotment and allowances may be delayed. The funds asked of President Wil son will be sent only for administra tive expenses of physical operations of the bureau and not for actual cov ering of allotment and allowance checks. With approximately 15,000 employes the bureau's payroll now is more than $1,000,000 a month. About 1,200,000 checks for allot ments, allowances,' insurance and compensation now are mailed monthly, amounting in the aggregate to more than $40,000,000. Nearly half of this sum comes from the War department and represents soldiers' allotments. There is no shortage in the funds for allotments since this is deducted from soldiers' pay, buts the funds available for allowances added to the allotments are limited. SCHOOL GIRLS USE POWDER AS THEIR ELDERS (Coiitlnutd from Tat On.) because they .could dress, a whole year on that price,", she said. Miss Towns drew attention to the poor balance in the social life of the school, a condition which she said the school could not remedy. !'ome of our girls have too much social life while, hundreds of girls go four years through high school, never attending one party or ever speaking to a boy. 1 his is not right Every girl or high school age should have some recreation, but the teach er who gives an algebra lesson should not chaperone a dancing party. The teacher does everything else but putting the child to bed and hearinar its oravers. iht commu nity should take over the social life or our young people. Miss Towne made a strong plea for support of girls who are forced to give up school for financial rea sons. "I wish people with money would stop giving it to colleges and uni versities for a little while and give some to high sehopls. Last year $60 kept two girls in school. Other girl whom we had no funds to assist wept bitterly for weeks because they i i . il.:- j I l : r naa io give up irieir suuuuniig. "The big surprise to me is that our girls are as good as they are borne of them have bad manners, some of them are silly, write notes and about six out of the 1,000 use rouge, but we have never had any serious moral problem in the 20 years of my connection with Cen tral High school, with an average of 1,000 girls in school each year."

True, a corner of a $50 bill pinned on the lapel of his coat, attracted much attention by those honor ing St. Patrick's day.

'If you deny the people of Ireland what you have sacrificed to give the other stricken nations, your claims of reverence for the spirit of liberty and freedom are a sham. The land of the shamrock and harp is standing at the door of the world's council They are knocking and they are supplicating. Will they be forced to insist in order to obtain recognition? 1 hough she has been insulted and betrayed, Ireland went into the fight with the splendid strength and tlower of her manhood against a common enemy, side by side with the nation which smote her.

"The history of Ireland has been written in blood and tears. She has been fighting the battles of others for centuries. She has always play ed the righ part in the development of civilization and has ever stood like a bright star in the heavens to guide and light the .way of down trodden nations. Ireland's history is more than the history of a single nation. It is the world's history. Her spirit has been crushed, but she never has failed to come back Mr. Dunn asserted that the Unit ed, States did not enter the war to free Belgium, France or any, of the other nations. It was only when the black eagles of imperial Ger- "that the United States told the' 'Beast of Berlin' to stop. Presi dent Wilson expressed it when he declared that the small and weak na tions should receive the protection of the strong. This is justice and democracy, and Ireland cannot be denied her rights. The strong na tions of the world cannot be un mindful of her claims in the light of her sacrifices and deeds in the great world struggle which has just Henry Starr, Bandit and Bank Robber, Out After Serving 5 Years Oklahoma City, Okl, March 17.

We haven't a single building in the city which would be fit to house an -audience for a concert or grand opera. "Jit his article Mr. Rosewater told enough about the barn-like appear ance of the building. It is my aim to tell of some of the fundamental faults of Us construction. "First of all, it should have portable stage, which could be moved to suit small conventions and concerts, which under the pres ent construction of the stage are virtually lost in the hall. second 1 he entire basement should be excavated. At the present time only about one-fourth ot tne basement is used, and if the whole space was excavated it would mean a room approximately lZx64 feet, out of which a boiler room would have to be constructed. The boiler room, however, could be placed un der the sidewalk on Howard street. Ceiling Should Be Built. "Third A ceiling should be built to improve the acoustics and the appearance, of the building. .fourth Ihe building needs an entire new roof. "Fifth The front and north side of the building should be finished. Sixth The lobby should be re arranged. At the present time the manager s office is on the second floor. It should be transferred to the main floor. "Seventh New arrangements of ramps in the balcony should be made. "Eighth The dressing rooms should be removed from over the stage and placed beneath it. Ninth Ihe entire house should be rewired. Under the present sys tem new wires have to be laid each time a show, exposition or conven tion is held." Lesson From Show. The article Mr. Powell refers to follows: "One lesson of the present Auto show should not be lost upon us Omaha people, and that is the possi bility and practicability of making our Auditorium artistically attrac tive m contrast with its customary barnlike appearance. What has been done in the way of decorating the ceiling and walls' has completely transformed the interior of the building. If this result can be ac complished for the moment with the use of temporary material, it surely could be matched and improved on by permanent work. Having put all that money into the erection of the structure and then having turned it over to the city at a small part of the cost, it ought to be worth while to do the rest needed to give ns an auditorium that will be attractive and comfortable as well as servicea ble."

Thousands . of the show visitors inspected this , car very closely and paid particular"., attention to the extreme lightp weight of the Holmes and the ease with which it can be rolled. Light weight and ease of move ment are vital factors in the afters cost of an automobile and have a di- I rect bearing on the tire cost, gasQjy line consumption, and mechanical adjustments. Mr. Holmes, manufacturer of the! Holmes automobile, in addition to several other individual features, paid a great deal of attention to the things that mean much to the op erating cost.

It cannot think. Its functions are to superintend and keep in operation various mechan ical processes, such as the proper secretion of mois ture by intestinal glands and adequate action of intestinal muscles in the walls of the bowels. It receives messages from nerves in various regions of the body, but being unable to reason, it often acts blindly, imperfectly, or improperly. It may stop secretion, lessen muscular action and the result is constipation.
