said Mrs. Knudsen. ".She has been

vanced to $6 a pint.
Hotel Places Order. -The
wholesale price was quoted
at from $60 to $65 a case of 24 pints.
According to information received
at the headquarters of the booze
hounds today, one of the largest
and most prominent hotels in Omaha
yesterday attempted to place an
order for "Sunny Brook" whisky, at
$125 a case. The order was taken,
but because of the uneasiness pre
vailing among the dealers in Mis
souri, it was said no definite prom
ise was niade to deliver. It was re
ported that the manager of the
fashionable hotel agreed to take any
quantityof wet goods at that figure.
Customers in the hotel mentioned
in the report, it was said, have of
fered to pay from $12. to $15 a pint

' Tipped to Unload
It was reported that in other sec
tions of Omaha, dealers who had re
ceived large consignments of
whisky during the last several weeks
were offering their goods at greatly
reduced prices- These persons, it
was pointed out. had no facilities to
conceal the forbidden stuff, and had
been tipped off from Winthrop to
unload at any price.
Lay Leak to Tischner,
Herman Tlchner. former Omaha
saloon keeper, who is alleged to
have been the "middleman" between
the liquor merchants of Missouri
and the Nebraska wholesalers, is
blamed for tipping off the details of
the arrangements which prevailed
between the Missouri representa
tives of the liquor trust and the per
sons who disposed of the product
in the dry states.
It was reported to Hyers that
Tischner, who is acused of turning
states evidence upon a promise that
he would not be prosecuted, has
been , approached by anxious mem
bers of the syndicate, but that the
former resident of Omaha turned a
cold shoulder to his former friends
and refused even to talk to tfiem.
New Men Employed
While it was announced here sev
eral days ago that the state booze
squad had been reduced greatly', it
was said by a person close to the
governor that a number of new
sleuths were taken on two days after-well
known agents had "outlived
their usefulness' These new men,
it was declared, are camping near
the Missouri border with instruc
tions tp cultivate the persons who
are hauling whissky from Missouri
to Nebraska. It is said the federal
government man who already has
gained the confidence of the "ring"
has agreed to intrduce the new state
agents and "square" them with the
"proper persons." .' .' ,

' The council of four has also given
fresh consideration to the question
of the Sarre valley, and' it is be
lieved that the council has settled
upon 4 plan to permit Germany to
retain political sovereignty, while
France will be given economic con
trol of the mineral resources in that
section for a limited time, supposed

France Claims 1814 Frontier.
In laying her claims before council
of four yesterday, France asked, first
of all, that her boundaries, as hxd
by the treaty of Parisr-May 30, 1814,
be restored to her, with the Saar
basin. In the Rhine province on the
lett bank of the Rhine, it was stipu
lated, the Germans should have po
litical autonomy, but should not be
permitted to establish fortifications,
occupy the territory with armed
forces nor control the railways.
Thus the Rhine would serve France
as a natural frontier.
The treaty of Paris in 1814 pro
vided that i France renounce her
claims on Belgium and the left bank
of the Rhine and return to the boun.
daries as they existed in 1792, be
fore the revolution. This compelled
France to confine herself to the
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine,
west of the Rhine, those territories
having been tinder French control
since 1689. It was erroneously re
ported from Paris last night that
France had demanded her 1914 fron
tiers, which would have excluded Al
sace and Lorraine from her claims
before the peace conference.
The commission on a league of
nations probably will hold its final
session April 4, it was indicated to

- - The Mca's Shop To tha Laft As You Enter
In knowledge there is power. To really
know what is new and ood in fashionable
fabrics is tti be able to plan a wardrobe
which, above all else, will be distinctive.
There isn't a discordant note nor a missing
style idea in our entire display. The
Thompson-Belden Store has again proven
its pre-eminence in fabrics.
Washable Georgettes are deserving of more
"than passing interest. For they are unde
niably different from anything heretofore
originated. So attractive so cool and sum
mery. In combinations of rose and white,
sand and white, gray and white, blue and -white.
It's true that they do launder per-
f ectly. v
Foulards are indeed SDrinsrtime's own. But there
is such a difference in foulards Cheney's are the.
best without question, and rightfully so, as they ,
come fnjm the looms of the oldest silk manufac-
turers in America.
The smartest collection of dependable foulards
we have ever shown, now grace many a space in
The Silk Shop- One may wonder how the best
foulards are no more costly than the ordinary kind
-well, it's true, nevertheless.
Plaid wool skirtings will fie welcomed by
every woman, for no new wardrobe can be
called complete without them. Strikingly
handsome block plaids, eight inches square,
in Combinations of tan and blue, black and
gold, navy and white, and black with white.
The cotton fabrics for Spring and Summer. The
most we can say here, is : "Do not miss the pleas
ure of viewing them in person " . If variety of pat
terns, daintiness pf color, and charm of lightness
appeal, then surely ilress cottons such as ours will
meet with your approval.
