EXPECT WILSON
TO INSIST UPON
HIS 14 POINTS
Germans Will Reject Peace
Which Surrenders Sarre
Region, Says Head of
; German Assembly.
I'aris. April 26. (Havas.) The
German delegation to the peace, con
ference, it is announced semi-offi-
cially, will not arrive at Versailles
before May 1.
Copenhagen, April 26. (By Asso
' dated Press.) The president of the
German national assembly, Kon
tantin Fehrenbach, speaking at
Freiburg yesterday, said he was cer
tain that President Wilson was in
clined to insist on his 14 points. I'
was very possible that a plenary
session would be convoked to decide
regarding the signing of a prelim
inary peace treaty, as well as to co
operate in the peace negotiations.
. "We are in no doubt as to what
it would mean for the southwestern
corner of the empire if we refused
to sign the peace treaty," said Herr
Fehrenbach. "I take it that in any
ease we shall not sign a peace which
leaves prisoners still in captivity
and does not bring a raising of the
blockade. Neither will we sign a
peace which surrenders the Sarre
region to our enemies and promises
Danzig to the Poles. . 0
"The government and parliament
jointly bear a tremendous respon
sibility, but behind them stands the
entire German nation. Our enemies
must know, and it must penetrate
their countries we will not accept
any dictated terms and will not be
a slave nation." "
Thousand Recruits Ready To
Join U. S. Army In Germany
Washington, April 20. The first
contingent of 1,000 recruits enlisted
, by the War department for foreign
service to relieve men in the army
of occupation will leave Camp
Meade April 30 for New York pre
paratory to embarking. With this
first unit will go a (number of of
ficers who have asked foreign serv
ice to relieve officers in the Ameri
can army in Germany.
Adriatic Territory Which Is Causing
Peace Conference Crisis
TYRRHENIAN
Twenty-seven days before Italy
declared war against Austria a se
cret treaty was signed in London
by Great Britain, France, Russia
and Italy, The treaty was signed
on April 26, 1915; Italv declared
war on May 23, 1915, ana the soviet
government of Russia published the
secret treaty in their organ. Isvestia,
on November 30, 1917. Clause four
of this treaty guarantees Itly in the
tuture treaty of peace the district
of Trentmo and the southern Tyrol,
and clause five gives her the province
of Dalmatia and the islands along the
coast. Under the latter clause and
because Italians predominates in the
city Italy also demands Fiume.
President Wilson wanta to interna
tionalize the city. The Tugo-Slavs
want a plebiscite in Dalmatia, and
the Italians insist on the treaty be
ing carriedi out, but are willing to
concede part of Dalmatia 'or the
city of Fiume. France and England
according to latest despatches, do
not wholly agree with President
Wilson, as was at first reported, but
are bending jevery effort to bring
about a compromise.
Religious War Brought
On By Trouble in Italy
Saloniki, April 26. -The Italian
government has closed all the Greek
schools in Argyrocastro, northern
Epirus, and has sent 100 Italian
school teachers there, according to
information received by the Hellas, a
Greek newspaper. I he Italians also
are declared to be stirring up relig
ious hatred by playing oft the Mos
lems against the Christians. The
Christians wish northern Epirus to
be joined to Greece, while the Ital
ians are agitating for an Italian pro
tectorate over Albania.

Why? First, because they are fresh dug and when
dormant. Second, because our heat and frost proof
cellar keeps them dormant and insures late planting.
Up until June 1st, don't ask us if it is too late to plant.

(Contlnocd From Pace One.)
vations and sacrifices we find our
selves faced with fresh sacrifices
and privations. At this moment
Italy ts ready and greater than ever
greater than in May, 1915. .
Advises Careful Consideration.
"The decision must be a well-con
sidered one. Food supplies are fail
ing us, but Italy, which has known
hunger, has never known dishonor,
I do not conceal from you the dan
ger of this very critical hour. (Cries
of we will face anything. )
"I am with you," continued the
premier, "a brother among brothers
and also a chief who asks to obey
and follow the will of the people.
It may be that we shall liud our
selves alone, but Italy must be unit
ed and have a single will. Italy will
not perish.
At the close of his address, the
premier was given an ovation. Gen
eral Diaz and Signor Barzilai, of the
peace delegates, then spoke and
were cheered by the soldiers and
sailors.
Prince Colonna, mayor ofi Rome,
asserted that there was complete
solidarity of the people with the
government.
Premier Orlando, General Diaz,
Prince Colonna and Signor Bajrzilai
entered motor cars and a procession
was formed which proceeded to the
royal palace in Quinnal square.
The passage through the streets
was extremely slow owing to the
density of the crowds, which insist
ed on drawing the car occupied by
bijynor Orlando.
At the palace the party joined the
king, queen 'and crown prince on the
balcony, and the entire group was
acclaimed with enthusiasm by the
assemblage below.
Sing Patriotic Songs.
The fervor of the crowd was un
bounded. Patriotic songs and all
kinds of yells filled the air. with
cries of "Viva Fiume," and "Dalma
tia." The city was decorated only with
Italian flags. The Via Nationale
was brilliant with Italy's tricolor,
and only one foreign flag was to be
seen; that was the British over the
British army headquarters.
No feeling antagonistic to Amer
icans was shown, the whole demon
stration being a fervent manifesta
tion in behalf of Italy's claims. One
American lieutenant cheered the
premier, with the restof those as
sembled, and the Italians near by
cheered the American, crying out.
"Viva America."
Banners were displayed bearing
the inscription: "Fiume, Dalmatia or
death." Airplanes hovered above,
among them a gigantic bombing machine.
For more than an hour the auto
mobile containing Premier Orlando,
General Diaz and Signdb Barzilai
was so surrounded by the immense
crowd outside the station that it
could not move. The premier was
repeatedly obliged to address the
people amidst uproarious applause.
Allusion having been made to pos
sible retaliation against Italy by the
restriction of her food supplies, the
premier exclaimed: "The Italian
people have often known hunger,
but never dishonor."
These words were received with
intense enthusiasm, the people cry
ing: "Death rather than betrayal of
our brothers across the Adriatic."
D'Annunzio Voices Protest.
The crowd received with great
enthusiasm the announcement that
Gabriele d'Annunzio, the author
aviator, had accepted the invitation
sent by the mayor of Rome to come
to the capital to voice "a deep pro-'
test from the heart of a country
torn by an outrage in which its
most sacred national aspirations
have suffered."
The body of socialists who sup
ported the war have adopted a reso
lution that to prevent the annexa
tion of Fiume by Italy would mean
opposition t'o the "fundamental
principles of a just and lasting peace
built upon recognition of nationality
and the self-determination of peo
ples." .The republican party has adopted
a resolution unanimously demand
ing possession of Fiume by Italy,
and complaining that the Italian
government had been placed in an
solated position at the peace con

INSPECTED FOR
RETURNTO U. S.
Brlg.-Gen. Hugh McAlexander
and Six Men Decorated;
Many Iowa and Nebras
ka Men in Ranks.
Coblenz, April 26. (By the Asso
ciated Press) What may be the
last official review of American
troops in Germany took place
Thursday afternoon 'when the men
of the Nintieth division marched
past General Pershing after they had
been inspected by the commander-in-chief
on the meadows near Wen
gerchr. Brig. Gen. Hugh McAlexander
was decorated with the distinguished
service medal, while six distinguish
ed service crosses were awarded.
The colors of the infantry regiments
and the machine gun and engineer
battalions also were decorated. The
Nintieth is known as the Texas and
Oklahoma division, the majority of
its members being national army
men from those states, although
there are many men in the ranks
from Iowa and Illinois.
The review of the Nintieth com
pletes the reviews of the divisions
of the army of occupation. The
function is taken by the men to in
dicate th-t the Nintieth will board
trains on the first stage of their
journey home, probably not more
than a month from now.

mier Orlando in pressing the ex
treme demands made by 'Italy.
These reports are particularly
disturbing, as the Americans and
British delegations to the peace con
ference are caid to have had reason
to believe that Premier Orlando
might adopt a course before the
Italian parliament which would lead
to an amicable adjustment. Pre
mier Lloyd-George was particularly
hopeful that this result would be
brought about.
The reports of the popular agita
tion at Rome ' and many other
Italian centers, however, have led
to fears that the Italian prime min
ister's conciliatory attitude may be
swept away in an outburst of feeling
bv the populace, which will insist
upon demands far beyond those of
the council of powers or President
Wilson will feel themselves able to
accept.
It has just developed that 1 the
British, American and French ad
mirals in command in Adriatic wat
ers had formulated a plan for giving
Italy certain Dalmatian islands,
which would have assured Italy of
control of the Adriatic, This joint
plan was presented to the Italian
representatives and was rejected as
not sufficient.
Deny Rumor of Settlement.
London, April 26. Reuter'a Paris
correspondent sends the following
on the Italian situation.
"The Italian delegation in a state
ment denies reports from Rome re
ceived yesterday that the Adriatic
differences were in course of settle
ment. The delegates considered
absurd the plan for an autonomous
Fiume, but under the sovereignty ot
Italy."

COMMERCE HIGH
FACULTY TO GET
SALARY RAISES

about the scope of his organization:
"We did not organiae 'primarily to
obtain higher pay, although that
will be one of the objects. We have
a committee now investigating the
salaries paid in commercial high
schools in other cities and that
committee will have a report to
make in due time. We have not de
cided on any particular amount of
increase ana wm not jonnuigio mis
until our committee has reported on
its investigations. The matter will
be presented to the school board
We are not ready to make any def
inite statement on the salary ques
tion at this time, because when we
do make a statement we do not
want to say anything which we will
have to retract. We will have an
organization that will include every
member of the , High School of
Commerce faculty. All but two or
three have signed the roll and wV
expect to get these during the next
week.
Do Not Favor Organization.
The members of the Board of
Education do not look with favor
on this commercial high school or
ganization which they refer to ss
a 'union. They aver that it is
not necessary to organize in , this
way to obtain increase of pay; that
the teachers' committee of the board
has already started an investigation
of pay to teachers in commercial
high schools in other cities and that
they are inclined to believe that the
scale should be raised in the Omaha
High School of Commerce.
The Commerce Teachers' league
however, intends to "beat the school
board to it," by getting their facta
and figures before that body at an
early date and then backing their
case up by a 100 per cent faculty
organization, which includes the
principal of the school.

crossing as he approached. Leaving
the engine running, it driver jumped
on the locomotive, threw paclc tne
reverse lever, opened the throttle
and was backing the train off the
crossing before the astonished en
gineer could move. Then something
happened quickly. The fellow was
picked up bodily and thrown off the
engine.
Both Care Wrecked.
A few moments later the Hudson
was speeding down South avenue.
Four miles out on the Glcnwood
road Dorsey Byers of Henderson,
la., driving into town with his wife
and daughter, saw the rerkjest driv
er approaching and sent his car a
fnr as possible to the lUe of the
"id and stopped, but he did r.:t
escape. The Hudson side swiped
him, tearing off two wheels and
tin owing the people out. It was
also the finish of the Hudson'. It
went into the ditch a wreck, its
driver knocked senseless. Bycr es
caped injury, uut Mrs. Byera sus
tained 4 broken arm and perhaps in
ternal injuries. She was brought to
Dr. Mcrritt's office and cared for.
Police officers and Sheriff Grone
weg's men took charge of the situ
ation. At the oolice station Nemic
refused to utter a word but head
quarters officers immediately recog
nized him as an Omaha man arrest
ed May 7 last for reckless driving.
He then gave the name of Antone
Macelev. Omaha detectives could
not identify him.
In the meantime the Nebraska
secretarv of state had been reached
on the phone, and the car was found
to have been registered by Antone
Nemic, Clarkson. He finally admit
ted that to be his name and told de
tectives that he lived at the Wor
thington place address. Nemic re
fused to make any statements. No
booze was in the car. .
