THE BEE! OMAHA, FRIDAY. JUNE 27, 1919. TURKEY BLAMES EX-KAISER FOR TIIE 'CATACLYSM' ayj Secret Treaties With Germany Caused War, Pkis me nuswan ureeu iot Constantinople. Paris, Tone 76. The statement ef , Dsmad Ferid (sherif) Pasha, deiv ' ;red to the Council of Ten, Tues day, June 17. respecting the Turkish position ana also the reply of the allied and associated governments, rfafed June 25, were made public Thursday. The Turnish note, i part, follows: "The responsibility for the wrsr in the east assumed, without ti e knowledge of the sovereign of tA the people in the Black sea, by a German ship commanded by a Ger man admiral rests entirely with the signatories of the secret trea ties, which were unknown alike to the Ottoman people and to the Eu ropean chancellories.- "These agreements were conclud ed between the government of the kaiser and the heads of the revolu tionary committee, who, at the be ginning of 1914, had placed them selves in power by means of a coup d'etat. I call to witness the official dispatches exchanged between the representatives of France and Great Britain and their respective govern ments, during the three months which preceded the outbreak of hostilities between Turkey and the empire of the ctars. "When war had once been de clared the eternal covetousness of Russia as regards Constantinople was skilfully represented to the peo ple as an imminent danger and anxiety for the preservation of national existance. Thereupon rendered the struggle a desperate one. Turkey deplores the murder of her Christian colo nials as much as she does that of Moslems. i "The new government, notwith standing its vigilant care, has been as yet unable to mitigate the dis astrous effects Of the cataclysm."

But when the offer of the assistant sales managership came to Mr. Miller, the two friends joyfully came to Omaha. But this wasn't enough for Mr. Hughes. He knew his friend wasn't getting as much at he. So he said to him: "Bob, I want yott to make as much money as I do. We'll agree always to divide up so that each shall make the same. I am now get ting $1,000 a year more than you, I want to pay you half of that so we'll both be receiving $3,500." The greement was entered into crally, Mr. Miller says. And until May, 1913, the plan was actually carried out between the two friends. Mr. Hughes paying each month to Mr. Miller half of the difference in their salaries. In May, 1913, Mr. Miller was re ceiving $4,000 salary and Mr. Hughes $5,500, and t that time the pay ments by Mr. Hughes stopped. And Mr. Miller is seeking to col lect the amount he would have re ceived up to the present time under the alleged oral contract.

Poincare, President Wilson said in part: "I thank you most sincerely for the words that you have uttered. I cannot pretend the prospect of go ing home is not very delightful. to me, but I can say with the greatest sincerity that the prospect of leav ing France is very painful to me. I have received a peculiarly gener ous welcome here. "I feel that my stay here, sir, has enlightened both my heart and my mind. It has enabled me personally to see the evidence of the suffering and the sacrifices of France. It has enabled me to come into personal touch with the leaders of the French people and through the medium of intercourse with them to under stand better. Slow But Sure. "Sometimes the work of the con ference has seemed to go slowly in deed. Sometimes it has seemed as if there were unnecessary obstacles to agreement but as the weeks have lengthened I have seemed to see the profit that came out of that. "These six months have been six months which have woven new fibers of connections between the hearts of our people. And some thing more than friendship and inti mate sympathy has come out of this intercourse. When we part, we are not going to part with a finished work, but with a work one portion of which is finished and the other portion of which is only begun. "We have finished the formula tion of the peace, but we have be gun a plan of co-operation which I believe will broaden and strengthen as the years go by, so that this grip of the hand that we have taken now will not need to be relaxed. "The wrong that was done in the waging of this war was a great wrnncr hut it walrpncd trip tvnrlrl to a great moral necessity of seeing that it was necessary that men should band themselves together in order that such a wrong should never be perpetrated again. "Merely to beat a nation that was wrong once is not enough. There must follow the warning to all oth er nations that would do like things that they in turn will be vanquished and shamed if they attempt a dis honorable purpose. "So, sir, in saying good-bye to France, I am only saying a sort cf physical good-bye, not a spiritual goodbye. I shall retain in my heart always the warm feel:gs which the generous treatment of this great good-bye. I shall retain in my heart And I wish in my turn, sir, to pro pose, as you have proposed, the continued and increasing friendship of the two nations, the safetv and rrosperity of France the closer and closer commuication of tree peo ples and the strengthening of every influence which instructs the mind and the purpose of humanity."

Conttniwd From Pace One.) the brewing interests, declared the appellate court decision was a clear victory for his clients and that the right to manufacture and sell 275 per cent beer after July 1, was as sured. The brewers were ready to Drove, he said, that beer of that po tency was "non-intoxicating" and it was now up to the courts to decide whether wartime prohibition forbade the sale of all beer or merely mtox cating beer. Cornelius J. Smyth, assistant United States district attorney, one of the drafters of the government's brief in the pending litigation, ma:n tained the appellate court decision gave the brewers less of an advan tage than they possessed under the original injunction. He charade ized as "optimistic" the statement! by counsel for the brewers that thf latter could continue manufacturing 2.7S per cent beer. The decision, he pointed out, would not exempt the brewers or retailers from prose cution under the federal wartims prohibition act, which provides a year's imprisonment or $1,000 fine, or both, in event of conviction. Judge Hough, one of the appel late judges, in a partly dissenting opinion, said: "The wrong here complained of was and is that of the internal reve nue department of the treasury Under the laws in force long be fore 1918, every brewer individua'ly brewed on suftrance ot the com missioner. As July 1, 1919, ap proached, that official threatened to refuse the licenses and stamps with out which brewing is absolutely il licit and subjects the brewer to con fiscatory proceedings and penalties of extreme severity. The plain in tent was to enforce a strained con struction of the act of November 21, 1918, by preventing brewers from complying with pre-existing and unrepealed laws. Cannot Ask Indictments. "So far as I can now see. the in junction against the acting col lector stops that plan and I regard the relief obtained below against the United States attorney as in af fect preventing that official from asking at the hands of a grand jury indictments for offenses created only by the act of November 21, itself. Such possible indictments .would not involve preliminary seizure of plant and tools and they should be left to their course at common law except under circum stances of extreme necessity not here shown. This dissent then, is limited to the reason assigned for a result to which I agree." Judge Rogers, who joined with Judge Hough in a partial dissent, discussed the question of "non (intoxicating beer. He said that for more than 20 years the department of internal revenue had treated beer containing one-half per cent or more of alcohol as a malt liquor and that during that time the brew ers of the country had asquiesced in that definition, Congress had not yet defined what per cent of alcohol made beer "intoxicating," he said, but it was reasonable to expect it would do so. "But in the absence of some definite legislation," said Judge Rogers, "the meaning of the term 'intoxicating liquors' must be a question of fact and not of law. The court cannot undertake to say, as a matter of law, that liquor which contained 2.75 per cent of alcohol by weight is not intoxicating."

What these reservations shall be however, is a question on which there still is a' wide difference of opinion.- Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee spent most of the day at the capitol and saw many republican senators op posing the covenant He would not discuss the conference however, ex cept to say that he had talked over many things. Regarding the league of nations he merely reiterated that the question was not a partisan one and that the public should not get the impression that the republi can party was opposed to the league. - Deny Subject Discussed. It was not denied however that the treaty fight was one of the sub jects discussed at the chairman's conference and the general impres sion was given that he favored some composition of differences to pre vent any possibility of disorganiga-tio-.t in republican ranks. In addition to league opponents, Mr. Hays saw Senator Mc Nary of Oregon, republican who has favored the present covenant. He also talked to Senator Kellogg, of Min nesota and other republicans, who have made no definite announce ments on their position. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the repub lican leader also conferred with some of the doubtful ones. The chief objection to the plan for reservation, it was said, was a fear that the league council might later assume authority to decide what force such amending articles would have in international law. There seemed to be a general feeling that should the plan be adopted, several reservations besides those suggested by Mr. Root would be included. Expect Effort Next Week. It is understood the discussions touched only incidently on the reso lution of Senator Fall, republican of New Mexko, for a declaration of oeace and that of Senator Knox, republican of Pennsylvania, express ing unwillingness to accept the league covenant as an inseparable part of the peace treaty. The effort of league opponents to secure pass age of these measures is expected to be resumed next week.
