, (Continued From Pe One.) .
af once proceed in the way indi
cated by this document."
M. Clemenceau spoke in French.
Power of German Arms Broken.
Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau,
head of the German delegation,
speaking in German, said:
"Gentlemen: We are deeply Impressed
with the sublim task which has brought
us hither to give a durable peace to the
vorld. We are under no Illusion a to
the extent of our defeat and the decree
of our want of power. We know that
the power of the Herman arms Is broken.
We know the ppwer of the hatred which
we encounter here, and we have heard
the passionate demand that the van
Mulshera may make us pay as the van
nulxhed, and ahull punish those who are
worthy of helns; punished.
"It la demanded from us that we shall
ensfoss ourselves to be the only ones
Rullty of the war. Such a confession In
my mouth would be a lie. We are far
from declining any responsibility that this
. great war of the world has come to pass
i and that It was made In the way In
which It was made. The attitude of the
former German government at The Hague
peace conference its actions and omissions
In the trstrio 12 days of Joly have cer
tainly contributed to the disaster. ' But
we energetically deny that Germany and
Its people, who were convinced that they
were making' a war of defense, were alone,
guilty. v
Blnme Ail Mutes. -
'Nobody will wuivt to contund lht the
dlHiister took Its course only In the dls
, itxtrnua moment whsn the successor to the,
throne of Austrla-MuiiKury fill the victim
of murderous hands. In the lust 60 years
Ihe Imperialism of all the Kuropean states
hue chronicitlly poisoned the Internationa
situation. ,Tho policy of retaliation and the
pulley; of expansion and the disregard of
thu rights of peoples to determine their
own destiny have contributed to the Ill
ness of Burope. which saw its, crisis ;in
the world, war.
"Russian mobilization took from the
statesmen the possibility of healing and
s:hv .the derision Into the hands of, the
military, powers. Public opinion' In aU
the - countries of our adversaries Is; re
sounding with the crimes which Germany
Is said to have committed In the war.
Here also1 we are ready to confess -wrong
that may' have been done. 1 e
"We have not come here to belittle1 the
responsibility of the men who have waged
the war .politically and economically, or
to deny any crimes which may have been
committed against the rights of peoples.
We repeat the declaration which has been
msde in the German Hetchstag at the
beginning of the war that is to say 'wring
has been done to Belgium' -.nd we are
willing to repair it.
"But In the manner of making war also
Germany Is not the only guilty one. I do
not want to answer by reproaches to re
proaches, but I ask them to remember,
. when reparation is demanded, not '-to for
get the armistice. It took us six weeks
until we got it at last, and six more until
we came to know your conditions of peace.
"Crimes In war may not be excusable,
but they are committed In the struggle for
victory and In the defense of national
existence and passions are aroused which
; make the conscience of people blunt
Holds Blockade Criminal.
"The hundreds Of thousands of non
combatants who have perished since No
vember 11, by reason of the blockade, were
killed with cold deliberation after our
adversaries had conquered and victory had
been assured to them. Think of that when
you speak of guilt "and of punishment.
"The measure of tire guilt of all those
who have taken part can only be stated
by an Impartial Inquest before a neutral
commission before which all the principal
persona of the tragedy are allowed , to
speak and to which all tha archives are
open. We have demanded such an in
quest and we repeat this demand.
"In this conference also where " 'we
stand toward our adversaries alone and
without any allies we are not quite with
out y protection. Tou yourselves have
brought us an ally, namely, the right
which is guaranteed by the treaty and by
the principles of peace.
"The allies and associated governments
have foresworn In the time between the
6th of October and the 6th of November,
1818, a peace of violence and have writ
ton a peace of Justice on their banner.
On the 6th of October, 1918, the German
government proposed the principles of the
president of the United States, as the
basis of peace, and on the 6th of Novem
ber their secretary of state, Mr. Lansing,
declared that the allied and associated
powers agreed to this basts, with two defi
nite deviations. ,
. Wilson's Principles Binding.
"The principles of President Wilson have
thus become binding to both" parties, of
the war for you as well as for us and
also for our former allies. The various
principles demand from us heavy national
and economic sacrifices, but the holy fun
damental rights of all peoples are pro
tected by this treaty. The conscience of
the world Is behind It. There Is no nation
which might violate it without punish
ment. vyou will find us ready lo examine upon
this basia the preliminary peace which' yon
' have proposed to us with a firm Intention
of rebuilding in common work with you
that which has been destroyed and re
pairing any wrong that may have 'been
committed, principally the wrong to. Bel
gium, and to show to mankind new alms
of nolitlcal and social uroKress.
"Considering the tremendous i quantity
of problems which arise we ought as soon
as possible to make an examination of
the principal tasks by special commis
sion of experts on the basis of the treaty
which you have proposed to us. In this
it will be our chief task to re-establish
tha devastated vigor of mankind- and .of
all the people who have taken part by
international protection of the life, health
and liberty ot the working classes.
Agre to Reconstruction. r
"As our next aim,-I consider the. re
construction of the territories of Belgium
. and of northern France whloh have been
' occupied by us and which have beert de
stroyed by war.
"To do so we have taken upon ourselves
the solemn obligation and we are resolved
to execute It to the .extent which shall
have been agreed upon between us. ' This
taHk we cannot do without-the-oo-opera-tior.
of our former adversaries. We can
not accomplish the work without the tech
nical and financial participation of the
victorious: peoples and you cannot execute
that without iUs. 1
"Impoverished Europe must desire that
the reconstruction shall be fulfilled with
the greatest success and with as little
expense as la In anyway possible. This
desire oaa only be fulfilled by a clear un
derstanding about the best methods to be
employed, It would be the worst method
to go on and have the wofk done by Ger
man prisoners ef war. - Certalnly this
work is cheap, but it would cost the world
' dear If hatred and despair -shall seise the
German people when thuy consider that
their : brothers, sons and fathers who are
prlsofterai are kept prisoners beyond the
preliminary peace on the former penal
ork,;
' Economical System Menaced.
"Without Immediate solution of this
question, which has been drawn out too
' long,-we cannot come to a durable peace.
Experts of both sides will have to examine
how the German people may come -up to
their financial obligations to repair, with
out succumbing under -thet. heavy burden.
A crash would bereave those wko have
a right to repair, to the advantages to
which they have a claim and would draw
after it irretrievable disorder of the
-whole European economical system.

menacing danger with its Incalculable
consequences. There Is only one means
t banishing it unlimited confessions of
the economic and social solidarity of all
the peoples in a free and rising league ot

"Gentlemen: The sublime thought to be
derived from the most, terrible, disaster in
the history of mankind Is the league of

velopment of mankind has been pro
nounced and will make its way. Only It

BILLY
LEET
ASKS, DIVORCE
IN LOCAL COURT
, ; X Continued Prom Pas On.)
ihey lived in beautiful apartments
jn the Stanford Court, San Francis
co's finest apartments. . r ,
"Mr. Leet is deeply in . love with
his wife and is ready to let bygones
be bygones and go back and live
with her. I think he isn't drinking.
I know he didn't touch a drop of
anything intoxicating on the train.
He talked much of his wife and said
he hoped she would become recon
ciled to him again." ,
"Billy" married Bis present wife
in January 4918. She was Miss
Martha .Ruddy, daughter of a
wealthy manufacturer in Aurora,
111. They went to San Francisco
about three months ago. ' .,,;
First Wife, Gets Divorce.1 !
' "Billy's" first wife was Anne Rob
ertson, sister of Mrs, Fred Hamil
ton. They-eloped to Blair January
11, 1915, and were married. They
lived for a while, at the Hamilton
apartments here and then "Billy"
built a magnificent home on one of
his Iowa farms and they lived there
for a while.- On January" 1, "1917.
Mrs.- Leet brought suit for divorce.
This was withdrawn, . but another
was filed a little later and Mrs. Leet
secured the divorce and '$50,000 ali
hiony. :-.
j Young Leet had a brief career as
a soldier at Fort Omaha and later
at Camp Dodge.
The suit filed by . Mrs. Martha
Leet in San Francisco about three
weeks ago is for separate mainte
nance. She alleges in the petition
that her husband drinks to excess;
that he associates with "low female
companions;" that he kicked in the
door , of their apartment, and that
he threw her and a companion'and
te .chauffeur' from an automobile.
She asks; $250 a month separate
maintenance.
.' She has ;also filed another suit to
replevin an automobile worth $6,700,
which, she says belongs to her and
which, she says, he took from her
when he met her and a friend out
driving on April 23.
Laughs at Attempt
Mrs. Martha Leet laughs at her
husband's attempted suicide. She
says he was just "bluffing."
"He, has done it before," she said.
"I know what it means. He hadn't
the slightest intention of killing
himself."
Mrs. Leet, as well as her husband,
is wealthy. It is stated on good
authority that their combined for
tunes are well over $1,000,000. .
The district court records of
Douglas t county show that as long
ago as 1912 "Billy's" property in
Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado, con
sisting chiefly of rich farm lands,
was worth more than $500,000.
"Billy" passed yesterday at the
home of his mother, Mrs. F. M.
Leet, 209 South Thirty-third street.
Judge Sutton said in the evening
that he had left the city to recup
erate for a few -days in a quiet place.
The wound in his arm is still pain

RELATIVES OF
HOSPITAL MEN
GIVE GREETING
(Continued From Fags One.)
Wednesday, the men being lined up
and discharged in alphabetical order.
As a result there were but 47
who received , their discharge pa
pers in time to catch the noon train
out of Des Moines. None of the
commissioned officers had been dis
charged up to noon.
Few Omaha Boys.,
Of the 47 who arrived on the ear
ly train nearly half of them were
from out in the state. These boys,
anxious to get home, found no at
ti actions in the city and, waiting at
the depot, caught the first trains out
for their homes.
War was no. summer outing for
the members of Nebraska base hos
pital No. 49. ' The boys reached
their base, some 90 miles back of
the battle front, early in September,
and from that time until the armis
tice were busy night and day work
ing in shifts. At no time were they
under fire, "but a good deal of the
time they were close enough to the
front to hear the roar of the artil
lery. ' .' ;
, Handled Many Cases- 1
The cases that the. members of
the unit had to rfandle were among
the worst. Wounded soldiers were
given field treatment and then taken
to the base hospital. Some days
during September and October,
While' the fighting was the hardest,
they handled as high as 500 or 600
Cases daily. . i . -
; Among the boys wh6 returned on
the- early trains one of the, happiest
was Sergt. Charles R. Connolly, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Connolly of
The Bee. He was, me!- at the sta
tion gates by his parents, showered
with kisses and then carried bodily
to a waiting automobile and whisked
away to his home, where he sat
down to a real beafsteak dinner, the
first that he had eaten since leaving
Omaha. Young Connolly was a
member of the Nebraska Dandy
Sixth regiment, and prior to going
into the hospital unit served under
Captain Metcalfe.
- As the man got pff the train they
were quickly surrounded by a
chosen few. Pvt G. McNamar was
nearly smothered by, his beautiful
little wife, his cousin, Mrs. &. vv.
Spratlen, and his sister, Mrs. R. E.
Buchtel. Louis Connolly, son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Connolly, was
greeted by his mother and father,
his sister Frances, and a group of
friends that were no relation what
ever. '
Glad to See Nurse.
Every man in" the second section
was jubilant as only returning sol
diers can be, when the train pullei
in at midnight. Every man was
glad, of course, to feel himselt
bound 'round by the arm of mother
and of wife or sweetheart, but every
man there seemed every bit as hap
py to see Miss Josephine Chamber
lain, a nurse, who fought shoulder
to shoulder with them to nurse back
to health wounded heroes in France.
"I'm going to kiss an army nurse,
if it's the last thing on earth I do,
said Frank Sanders, Omaha lad, as
he broke away' from mother and
family just a moment and threw his
arms around the astounded Miss
Chamberlain. Miss Chamberlain's
neck became rigid, her eyes bulged,
her hands started up, an awkward
pause, and it was all over. All the
others were brim full of joy at see
ing Miss Chamberlain again.
Miss Chamberjain returned to
Omaha several weeks ago, having
left the hospital company at their
point ot embarkation.
"If it weren't for Miss Chamber
lain," said C. O, Almquist of Loomis,
Nets, "I'd probably be in France
yet. That applies to several other
fellows, too. Here's why all the
boys are so crazy about Miss Cham
berlain. When they broke up the
hospital at Allery, they transferred
all the nurses. '
Two Nurses Remain.
"Miss Chamberlain and Miss Dill,
however, asked to be allowed to re
main with our fellows, who were
still in the hospital. There were
four of us. Miss-Chamberlain nursed
us back arid we were able, to leave
when the companv did." '
The Nebraska Base hospital 49
was one of the, nine hospital units
centered at Allery, France. Allery
was the largest hospital center in
Europe when the armistice was
signed. ' ' '
The officers of the company have
not yet been -mustered and will
probably be home in a day or two,
according to the men who returned
last night. "' '
' Beatrice Boy Beturns.
Beatrice, Neb., May 7, (Special.)
Dr. F. W.. Buckley, who left Beatrice
last summer for , France with hos
pital corps No, 49, arrived from
overseas Tuesday at New York, ac
cording to a message received by
Mrs. Buckley. He is expected home
in a few days.
Taft Favors Making
Issue of Return of
Railroads to Owners
Chicago, May 7. Former Presi
dent Taft, speaking in Chicago be
fore the Hamilton club, urged the
republican party to make an issue
of the return of the railroads to
private ownership. !
, Fair treatment of the new labor
class, he said, should be; another
issue. , . , .
He advised the club's republican
membership that confirmation of
the league of nations and peace
treaty should not be withheld, be
cause confirmation might possibly
add to President Wilson's prestige.
Body of Unidentified Man ,
; Found on West Bank of River
The bodv of a "man. ' aonarentlv
about 32 years old, was found by
Coroner Cutler of Council Bluffs on
the west bank of the Missouri river
just opposite the Thirty-seventh
street pumping station and a short
distance from the Illinois Central
bridge, late yesterday afternoon.
Une arm was buried in the. Sana
of the river bank and it is thought
that he may have fallen from the
bridge. No identification marks
were found other than a registration
card of September 12, 1918,' which
gave the name of Mike Bozesse,
1023 Capitol avenue, Omaha. .
Upon inquiry at the above address
it was learned that he had roomed
there until last January, when he
was taken sick and sent to St Jo
seph's hospital.
Hospital authorities say they have
no record of any such name.

Doubles Its Beauty in a Few Weeks
Single Application
Stops the Itching
. Science has now proven that dandruff and scalp
eczema are caused by a very active germ so in
fmhesanally small that it can be detected only with
a powerful magnifying glass. It Is the activity of
these germs that produce the miserable itching of
the scalp sap the life and vitality of. the hair,' mak
ing it dry, brittle; scraggy, and eventually causes
baldness. Shampooing will cleanse the hair, of
course, but it will not kill the deadly, germs; in fact
it only tickles their fancy, but' just give Lucky Tiger
a chance at them, the one remedy that makes no
excuses and takes no prisoners.

weapon ever arrayed against the microbe family

The formula under which Lucky Tiger Is compounded
is a Specific for Dandruff, Scalp Eczema and kindred

my opinion Lucky Tiger carries a higher degree of effi

First That dandruff and ecacmatous conditions mt
the scalp are caused by a rapidly multiplying germ.
Second That Lucky Tiger is a powerful germicide
and a genuine specific for all such scalp infections and
if used according to directions, quickly, removes the
cause of scraggy hair and promotes a luxuriant growth.
