Although the week was. started with the inten tion of getting the entire sum by Saturday, the national drive really runs until May 20, and so the pros pect of getting Omaha over the top is considered good. The Union Pacific railroad em- ployes had a big parade at noon yes terday, ending at the court house, where, with appropriate ceremonies they took charge of moving the Lib erty ship forward to the $2,500,000 position in its pictorial and signifi cant jdurney from "ruined France" on the east end of the court house balcony, to "America" on the west end.

Witt cl l Karen S. IMJ Hoovor Gives Huns Warning Will Stop Food Supply If Disorder Keeps Up By The Associated Press. Berlin, April 24. A message to Germany by Herbert Hoover, director-general of the inter-allied re life organization, has been published in Berlin, warning against a continuation of the strikes and disorders, say ing they were endangering a continuation of the food supply. i The message has brought about serious discussion in the German newspapers, which i3 best reflected by the Boersenzeitung,v which says Mr. Hoover's note is an ultimatum to Germany. "Mr .Hoover says shortly and sharply," the Bores enzeitung, continues, "America has no desire to restrict itself in order that its grain ships may be sunk in the Elbe and it3 fat kegs may disappear through the riot of a few, thousand Spartacans, or that its potatoes shall ruin in warehouses because they cannot be trans ported." "America has the good will to save all from starva tion, provided there is assurance of a state of order in Germany. Otherwise there will be no more supplies." ARREST OMAHA MAN WITH 1,200 PINTS OF LIQUOR United States Marshal Lies in Wait for Truck Driver at Freight House; Com panion Escapes. Five barrels of whisky were seized and vHarry Conley, driver for the Foley Auto Delivery company, Omaha, was arrested late yesterday afternoon in Council Bluffs. The arres.t was made by Deputy United States Marshal Fred Shoemaker. The whisky is in pint bottles packed in barrels, and comprises about 1,200 bottles. The shipment was consigned from Kansas City to "John C. Woodward & Co," which is very like John G. Woodward & Co., candy manufacturers. The Wood ward company has the right to buy alcohol for manufacturing purposes, but has to go through an elaborate procedure. This was done early in January and the supply for the year secured. The purpose evidently was to lead officials and railway men to believe that the shipment was intended for the candy factory. .Watched Depot. Shoemaker hung around the Bur lington station for two days waiting for someone to call for the stun. Yesterday afternoon a big Fofey truck drove up and two men, one an Italian, entered the freight house of iice and asked for the goods. They didn't have money enough to pay the freight charges, and drove away. Half an hour later the truck re turned with the driver alone in charge. He paid the freight bill and loaded the - five barrels. Then Deputy Shoemaker took possession. Conley refused to make any state ment or give the name of the Italian. He is locked up in the county jail. "Eminently Proper," Taft's ; Comment on Wilson's Action Ardmore, Ok!., April 24.

He said he had been work ing on a farm 20 miles south of Papillion. He was directed to the Department of Justice, Mrs Hor ton and the children, who were stay ing in" the matron's department of the city jail, were sent for and a happy reunion effected. Arm-in-arm the husband and wife walked from the office in the federal building, smiling on their outlook. "We're going back to the farm I just left," said Horton. "My em plover there saysi he has room for us all." Horton still is on his 60-day pa role. He probably will be held for the grand jury, according to federal authorities.

United States Senator G. Mv Hitchcock, addressing a gathering last night at the Omaha Athletic club, declared that'there will be wars and rumors of wars if the constitu tion of the league of nations is not adopted by the nations. A dinner was served to 200, which included members of the club and their ladies. T. C. Byrne introduced the senator, who devoted his time to a consideration of the league of na tions and the events leading up to the conference now being held in Paris. "Unless something is done to pre vent it," he said, "the nations are go ing on in the same old periodical wars. The outlook of every nation has been to prepare of war. The great question before the world is whether something can be done to prevent these wars. Accusation Without Grounds. 1 want to get clearly in your minds tha the accusations that Pres ident Wilson assumed too much when he went across the seas, is en tirely without foundation. An act of congress embodying the idea of a league of nations, was passed while war was still raging. The league of nations has congressional sane tion. If a league of nations is not adopted, despair and hopelessness will spread over Europe and the na tions will prepare again for war.

Daily WARTIME DRY LAW WILL RE ENFORCED A Department of Justice Will Prosecute Violations of Ban on Production of Beer and Wine. New York, April 24. The govern ment proposes a literal enforcement of the wartime prohibition act, in cluding a ban on production and sale of all beers and wines, whether or not they are- intoxicating, the department of justice announced through a special representative in the federal court today. While no $teps will be taken to prevent brewing, pending a court determination of the law's consti tutionally raised by brewers of the New York district, manufacturers will operate in peril of future prose cution, according to the statement of William C. Fitts, special counsel appearing for attorney General Palmer in the beer litigation. Nonintoxicants Under Ban. The attorney advised Judge A. N. Hand, who heard arguments on the government's motion to dismiss the suit brought on behalf of the na tional brewing interests by the Jjcob Hoffmann Brewing company to restrain the federal authorities from interfering with its production of 2Y per cent beer, that the de partment of justice did not know and did not care whether beer of the strength indicated was intoxicat ing. The law prohibited sale after June .30 of -distilled beverages, as well as manufacture after April 20 and sale after June 30 of "beer, wine and oth er intoxicating malt or vinous liquors for beverage purposes, pending the demobilization of the military forces, he said. Object Is to Conserve. The words "beer" and "wine" were not qualified, in the opinion of the government, he added, and the ap parent congressional intention to stop the waste of grains and fruits in their production in any strength would be enforced, With "half the world" looking to America for food, MrTFitts contend ed, the necessity of its conservation was greater even than on the day of Chateau T"hierry," and it was equally essential that liquors be with held from public sale, while the .rmy and navy were undergoing demobili zation. To this statement Judge Hand added his opinion that the war "was still in progress," which upset one of the complainant's contentions. Union Heads Urge Publishers to Aid in Fighting I..W. W.

An en couraging view of present business conditions throughout the United States and a hopeful outlook for the future is given in a comprehensive report on the business situation pre pared for the Chamber of Commerce of the L'nited States by Archer Wall Douglas of St. Louis, chairman of its committee on statistics and standards. "It is still one of the wonders of the time that the present volume of business, is so large," the report says. "Confidence in the future is grow ing as is evidenced in .the campaign for sales of fall and winter goods now being waged by distributing in terests." In taking up the industries indi vidually, the report says the rail roads are "in a serious condition" and declares that if they were turned over to their stockholders in their present condition, it would mean bankruptcy to the entire system."

He expressed the belief that the loan would "un-. doubtedly be subscribed and very likely over-subscribed." "However, the one thing which should be guarded against is over confidence," the . secretary cau tioned. "I came out from Washington to make an appeal," he continued, "but everywhere I have gone so far. I have witnessed higljtriumph of the. general American patriot ism.

" This is exolained as meanino" that the discussions centered on the ques tion of prestige, involved in the pub lication of President Wilson's state - : Italian Premier Rebukes U.S. President for Issuing Appeal to Italian Nation Paris, April 24. Vittorio Orlando, the Italian premier, today issued the following statement in reply to Pres ident Wilson's declaration regard ing Italy's territorial demands: "Yesterday, while the Italian dele gation was discussing. counter propo sitions which had been received from the British prime minister and which had for their aim the conciliation of contradictory tendencies which were manifest concerning Italian terri torial aspirations, the Paris news papers published a message from the president of the United States in which he expressed his own thought on one of the gravest prob lems which ha9 been submitted to the judgment of the conference. "The practice of addressing na tions directly constitutes surely an innovation in international relations. I do not wish to complain, but I wish to record, it as a precedent, so that at my own time I may follow it, inasmuch as 'this new custom doubtless' constitutes the granting to nations of larger participations in in ternational questions and, person-i ally,! have always been of the opin ion that such participation was the harbinger of a new order of things. ' Loyal to America. "Nevertheless, if these appeals are to be considered as addresses to na tions outside of the governments which represent them (I might say even against the governments) I should feel deep regret in recalling that this process heretofore applied to enemy governments is today ap plied for the first time to a govern ment which has been and intends to remain a loyal" ally of the great. American republic, namely, to the Italian government." Premier Orlando says that he might complain that such a mes- sage addressed to the Italian nation had been prblished at the very mo- ment when the aljjed and associated powers were negotiating with the Italian government, the help of which had been sought and appreci ated in numerous serious " questions heretoforediscussed in intimate and complete solidarity. "Above all." be continues. "I should have the right to complain if the declarations of the presiden tial message have the purpose to oppose the Italian people to the Italian government because it would misconstrue and deny the high de gree of civilization which the Italian people have attained and its demo cratic and liberal regime. To -oppose the Italian people and govern ment, would be to admit that this great free nation would submit to the yoke of a will other than its own, and I should be forced to pro test strongly against suppositions unjustly offensive to my country."

King Victor Emmanuel has tele graphed to Premier Orlando com mending his action and insisting that there be no recession from the po sition Italy has taken. Italian military forces will occupy (Continued on Vug Five, Column Four.) that the Italian claims beyond con tain limits laid down in his message violate the principles upon which must be -founded the new regime of right, justice and liberty among peoples. The premier adds that he never denied these principles and that e;en President Wilson would do him the justice to say that in the long conversations they had had to gether, he (Orlando) had never re lied upon the formal authority of a treaty by which hajtnew President Wilson was not bQnd, but merely relied on reason and justice, upon which Italy's clsyms were baseJ. Signor Orlando deplores (that he could not convince President Wil-' son, although the president admit ted that justice and truth are the monopoly of no man and that all men err. The conference, he points out, has had to change its mind many times and he does not think himself disrespectful by asking it to change it again. "I consider as unjustified the ap plication that, in his statement, President Wilson makes of his prin-" ciples toward the Italian claims," Premier Orlando continues. "It is impossible for me in a document of this nature to repeat the detailed arguments which have been pro duced in, Italy's behalf. I might simply say that no one will receive without reserve the affirmation that the collapse of the Austro-Hunga-rian empire should imply the reduc tion of Italian aspirations." Sees Breach in Barrier. Citing the president's argument that the concessions granted bring Italy to its natural defenses, the Alps. Signor Orlandosays: "This recognition is of great im portance, provided, the eastern ilank or tins wan does not remain open and that the right of Italy should be interpreted to include the line of '.'f '"rpreiea to include the line ot .

He re calls that the Latins from the earli est dawn of Italian history; designa ted this mountain the "Italian limit."
