Necessitate Delay in Pre

- By the Associated Press.,
Although the peace terms which
the allied and associated powers are
to present to the Austrian delega
tion are virtually complete and re'
port has it that next Wednesday
hair 'been, phosen, as the day when
the Austrians are to be called be
fore the 'ip'eace congress, the nego

of the fact that Hungary, where ex
tremely bad conditions exist, has
failed to-appoint delegates to go to
St. Germain, ,
The council of four Thursday
continued to discuss military items
to be embodied in the Austrian
compact. These, it is asserted not
only will require demobilization of
the, Austrian army and prevent
future conscription, but will call for

a chaotic scene. , r '
Dressed in Black.
' Dressed all in black except for a
little white at the throat and the
wrists, and carrying a . large hand
kerchief, and with her large face so
calm and her manner, even under
the most trying circumstances, en
tirely composed and peaceful, she
seemed the embodiment of the great
qualities which the minority of the
Russian, people possess in such a
high measure. ,
Mr. Howell introduced her with
evident emotion, professing himself
most highly honored with the privi
lege of introducing 'one of the
greatest women the world has ever
known."
j Mme. Breshkovsky spoke for half
an hour in English. She pointed
out the difference between Amer
ica's easy acquisition of liberty and
Russia's long struggle.
"Justice is the foundation of the
Russian psychology," she said.
"Through our centuries of histoiy
we have struggled. On one side the
great Mongolian hordes have men
aced us continually. On the other j
side we have the Prussian and oth
ers. ' ' ' '
Kept in Ignorance.
"And always we have been kept
in ignorance. Our teachers, profes
sors, scientists, philosophers have
been sent into exile. But we art
not stupid. We have some of i the
highest musicians, writers, artists,
professors. yv '' ,.
.Now. at last, tne opportunity is
here. We have 20,000,000 children
in Russia. Four million of , these
are orphans. Their fathets were
killed in the war. And these must
be educated. On them rests the
future of . Russia, whether -Russia
shall be exploited by Germany or
other followers of autocracy or
whether she shall be free and bless
the world. ,
"At present Russia cannot pay.
but in the end this education will
pay. When I looked at the ques
tion I said to my peasants
I will ko to America and l be
lieve the. Americans will help, us to
education for the children.'
"And my peasants said, Go,
grandmother, we, also, believe
America will help us.
Russia Will Decide.
Dr. Egbert, secretary of the fund,
was a medical officer in Russia dur
ing the war. He declared that the
Russian situation and possibilities
will decide whether or not Germany
will sign the peace treaty. He
Dointed out the tremendous possi
bilities of a renewal of war and a
control of the civilized world by
Germany, which are contained in
the disposition of Russia. '
He said Russia has three times
the natural wealth of the United
States, with tremendous man power,
and that if Germany can get con
trol of this she will restore autoc
racy in both Germany .and Russia
and be a greater menace than ever
to the world of democracy. More
Russians were killed than all the
soldiers mobilized by the United
States, he said.
At the conclusion of Mme. Bresh
kovsky's address and following the
bolshevist demonstration in the
gallery a man arose in the balcony
and . asked her to speak in Russian
for the benefit of about 100 persons
who could not understand English.
.'MmeJy Breshkovsky did , this,
speaking about 10 minutes. She was
liberally applauded.
Crowd Dispersed.
The bolsheviki in the gallery left
after their most ambitious riot had
been quelled, making a great hub
bub by loud walking and running
on the steps. They we're gathered

Clifford Wolfe Tells
of His Experiences
as a German Prisoner
Clifford Wolfe, son-in-law of Col
onel and Mrs. Macrae, was the
speaker at the weekly meeting of
the Council Bluffs Rotary club yes
terday noon. He told a thrilling
story of his six months experience
as a prisoner in Hunland.
It happened to be chiefly on a
farm far inland, and he cared for
pigs, chickens and ducks, and took
such good care of the place that he
won the good will of the two wo
men who lived there, and they were
willing to let him have all he want
ed to eat, serving five meals a day,
consisting of bread made of saw
dust, and potatoes, kraut and potato
soup, and, coffee made of burn,
bread and bran. The owner of the
place worked in an airplane factory
and got home only once a week.
When the news ot the signing ot
the armistice came, the people re
fused to accept it. It was impos
sible to make them believe they
were beaten. They refused to read
the news in their own papers. Mr.
Wolfe said the stories of Hun atro
cities were not overdrawn, because
that was impossible.
Wolfe is a son of Mrs. Joseph
Baldrige, Omaha.

GIANT AIRSHIP
BURSTS FROM ITS
MOORINGS; LOST
(Continued Ftom Pat Om.)
under succeeding gusts of wind, en
deavoring to save it
When the wind rose from 30 miles
an hour to 40, the rigging on the
nose of the nacelle gave way and it
was decided to deflate the envelope.
Mechanics who were working on
the engines were ordered to aban
don ship, Lt.. Charles G. Little re
maining and endeavoring to Dull the
rip cord and deflate theienvelope.
inrasned wildly by the wind, the
gasbag rebounded and everv sUv
snapped. Lieutenant Little gave
another tug at the rip cord and it
broke. He leaped from the ship as
the big bag rose and soared off.
ihe loss of the bumn was a bit
ter7 disappointment to Lieut. Cora,
Emery W. Coyle and his crew oi
five. They had brought the big ship
over a 1.300-mile course from Mon-
taUk Point with a performance rec-1
ord which they were confident would
have brought the coveted order
from the Navy department to at
tempt the overseas flight,
i Air Ride Rough.
1 The C-5, it is said, had performed
perfectly on the trip from Montauk
roinr, ana only final authorization

tion of the engines and replenish
ment of fuel and supplies were nec
essary oetore undertaking tne flighu
1 "Although the C-5 performed per
fectly, the weather did not perform
nearly so well," one of toe crew
said.
"It was the roughest ride I've evir
had," he declared, "but this was due
to the 'bumpy condition of the at
mosphere, not to the ship.",
At times, he continued, the winls
careened the big ship until its en
gines stood on end and stopped, but
The dirigible was lost in the fog
as soon as the ship righted itsel,
the motors went to work again,
for a time this morning over Ava
lon peninsula, the southeaster!
point of Newfoundland. For two
hours it cruised about, seeking the
landing field here which was known
to the crew only by radio descrip
tion. Radio directions received from
the base served only to complicate
the situation, for while the base was
sending the bearings of the sending
station from the C-5, the C-5's nav
igatort interpreted them as the C-5'15
bearings from the station.
Eventually Commander ' Coil
sighted a narrow-gauge railroad,
which he followed to St. John's.' The
town of Topsail was then recognized
and a direct course was laid which
took the dirigible over Signal har-, .
bor and the narrow mouth of the
harbor, for a sharp turn north.,
through Cuckold's Cove toward
Quidividi valley. .
Lt. J. V. Lawrence, was at the i
wfleel and effected a landing that
elicited exclamations of applause
from British airmen who had gath
ered to welcome the airship.
Commander Coil gave much of the -
credit for the flight from Montauk
Point to his pilots, Lieutenant
Lawrence and Ensign D. P. Camp-,
bell. The cold during the trip, he
said, was almost numbing at times,''
but the pilots had hung on gamely. .
although they had been compelled to '
divide their turns at tne wheel into '
short shifts.
The ship occasionally made as .
high as 76 miles an hour, though '"
the average for the trip was only .",
48 miles. The direct course from ",
Montauk was 1,200 miles, but an ad-;;
ditional 100 miles was traversed in.,
seeking the landing place after '
reaching the Newfoundland coast.
