FIGHT OF G. 0. P.
ON LEAGUE PACT
BEARING FRUIT

Assured of Democratic
Support.
(Contlnatd from rgm One.)
the long treaty fight. This predic
tion was by no means unanimous,
however. Some republican members
of the committee believe they
should have more information be
fore they act, and two of them,
Senators Johnson of California and
Borah of Idaho, wrote a letter to
Chairman Lodge today asking that
General Bliss, Colonel House and
others connected with the Versailles
negotiations be asked to appear be
fore the committee.
The general expectation was.
however, that the committee would
not change its plans to proceed to a
decision on the treaty and that out
side the committee events might
shape up even more rapidly. After
they heard from the democrats to
day the reservation republicans be
gan a poll to ascertain just how
many of their party they could count
on in their tiegotiations. An early
adjournment of the senate inter
rupted the move, but within a day or
two they expect to have a more
definite idea of their strength.
It was asserted there had been
several additions to the group, but
no senator has publicly announced
hi$ adherence to the plan since it
was agreed on by the original seven
senators, McCumber, North Dako
ta; McNary, Oregon; Kellogg, Min
nesota; Colt, Rhode Island; Cum
mins, Iowa; Lenroot, Wisconsin and
Spencer, Missouri.
Basis of Hope Not Known.
The exact basis for their hope
that Senator Lodge will join in the
movement was not revealed by the
reservation leaders. It was pointed
out, however, that in his address to
tht senate yesterday, he did not
plea for rejection of the league en
tirely, but outlined objections to the
covenant provisions dealt with by
the proposed reservations. In one
instance he spoke of "changing" one
of these provisions.
Friends of the Foreign Relations
commission have declared that he
would insist at least on reservations
if amendments "with teeth in
them," and republican members of
the committee who want to defeat
the league covenant entirely de
clared tonight they were confident
Mr. Lodge would vote with them
in that proposal.
The situation in the committee
may be brought to a head by. the
letter of Senators Johnson and
Borah, asking that further witnesses
be called. The question probably
will com- up tomorrow. Senators
Fall, republican, New Mexico, and
Moses, republican, New Hampshire,
also are understood to have sug
gested the calling of more wit
nesses at today's meeting. Senator
Fall also is said to have declared
the committee could not be ex
pected to pass intelligently on all
the obligations embodied in the
treaty until the other treaties being
negotiated at Versailles were before
it.
, .Wish Treaty Disposed Of.
Senator Hitchcock told the com
mittee that virtually every senator
had made up his mind how he would
vote and that the country wanted
the treaty disposed of one way or
another.

The rush to distribute surplus
army food stocks ordered by the
War department has caused a con
gestion in many of the principal
railroad centers, according to re
ports received by Omaha railroad
men. It is reported the govern
ment now is paying demurrage
charges on 13.000 cars of food
stocks, due to the lack of facilities
for storage.
Railroad reports are partially sub
stantiated by orders received by
Col. G. S. Bingham to investigate
the amount of additional food that
could be stored in the Omaha quar
termaster depot of which he is in
command.
Colonel Bingham says the local
army depot can take care of 75 cars
immediately, and will be able to
store more food as rapidly as the
present surplus stock, ordered sold, is
delivered. The orders empower him
to hire additional help to unload the
cars in case they are sent to Omaha.
Omaha Leads State.
Omaha is the only city in Ne
braska to actually place orders for
the surplus food stocks. Carload
lots of food have been sold to Den
ver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and
other Colorado cities.'
Captain liofniann, who has charge
of the details of the sale under
Colonel Bingham, reports a tend
ency on the part of representatives
of municipalities to misconstrue the
orders regarding the sale. Many
cities endeavor to purchase the sur-
Lplus stock for resale to merchants
01 tne city ana nnu inai wic prices
will not compete with wholesale
houses.
J. R. Davidson of Aurora inspect
ed the stocks at the depot yesterday,
representing Hamilton county. He
was accompanied by A. W. Hick
man, former county food adminis
trator. First Official Information.
The first official information that
they would participate in the sale
of surplus food stocks was received
at the postoffice yesterday. A bulletin
received by Postmaster Fanning
gave the information that parcel
post sales would be limited to 125
pounds in one shipment. Where
the weight is in excess of this
amount the shipments will be di
vided. In the blanket sale conducted in
connection with the food sale, the
Omaha rone can purchase only all
wool and all-cotton blankets. No
blankets of mixed wool and cotton
are stored here. The all-wool and
all-cotton blankets are of both
grades, new and reclaimed.
GROCER FINED
FOR EXTORTION
IN SUGAR PRICE
Palmer Asks Extension of
Food Control Act to Cover ,
Clothing and Food
Containers.
bers of the American peace delega
tion, Senators Johnson and Borah
are understood to have suggested in
their letter that the committee hear
E. T. Williams, former head of the
State department's far eastern divis
ion; S. K. Hornbeck and William C.
Bullitt, all advisers to the commis
sion, who resigned while the nego
tiations were in progress. It has
been reported that Mr. Williams and
Mr. Hornbeck left the commission
because of the Shantung settlement
and Mr. Bullitt because he was dis
satisfied with provisions affecting
Russia.
Although discussions about reser
vations have centered on the league
covenant, the Shantung provision
has not been lost sight of by oppo
sition senators and it was said to
day that an amendment covering it
would be urged both in the commit
tee and in the senate. It is expected
that Senator Fall will urge an
amendment striking out all refer
ence to American representation on
the various commissions to be set
up to supervise reconstruction in
Europe.
What amendments or reserva
tions will be attached to the treaty
in committee is said by members
to depend largely on Chairman
Lodge. The republicans have a
majority of three, but one of them,
Senator McCumber, is expected to
vote with the democrats against any
radical amendment Should the
chairman also accept a reservation
program similar to the McCumber
McNary plan, the anti-amendtrfent
group would be in the majority.
Estimates of members as to how
long the committee would require
to consider amendments and reser
vations differed widely, some
thought a report might be possible
within two weeks. Tomorrow sec-
tions other than the league cove
nant are to be taken up under pres
ent plans, the members having many
proposals for change In the eco
nomic and political provisions.
What may have been the part
played by the White House in the
negotiations between democratic
senators and the reservation repub
licans, has not been revealed.
Members of the latter group who
have talked with President Wilson
have been confident that he would
be willing in the end to accept such
a program, but publicly there has
been no change in his stand for un
reserved ratification.

nations union which called

President Wilson in London.
To Adjust Finances.
Washington, Aug. 13. Questions
arising out of the peace settlement
which Bonar Law announced in
the House of Commons today would
require the attention of Viscount
Grey, the new British ambassador
to the United States, are understood
here to include a readjustment of the
complicated financial relations be
tween Great Britain and the United
States growing out of loans and
credits advanced by America.
There also must be an almost im
mediate recasrting of many existing
treaties between the two countries,
necessitated by the radical changes
following the war. Many of these
conventions date back for more than
a century and were said by officials
to have been applied to modern con
ditions only by the exercise of the
freatest liberality of construction,
he La Follette shipping law swept
away completely one treaty relating
to the rights and duties of sailors
and port authorities and this never
has. been replaced.
Many Issues Early in War.
In the early days of the war there
were many issues between the State
department and the British foreign
office growing out of interference
with American commerce by British
warships and British orders in coun
cil and the many claims for dam
ages by American ship owners and
merchants pending when the United
States entered the war still techni
cally are open. Viscount Grey was
the British secretary for foreign of meat, poultry, fish, butter and
affairs when these issues arose and, eggs arc being held in' cold storage
(Continued from Pace One.)
food held in storage have been re
ceived from at least six states, the
attorney general said. He declined
to be more specific, but it was indi
cated that New jersey was one of
the states.
Storage Conditions.
Storage conditions also are en-
? aging the attention of the state
ood administrators, several of
whom have asked if they were au
thorized to publish the facts where
it appeared that more food was be
ing held from the public than the
reasonable requirements of a dealer
demanded.
"I told them to go right ahead
and to use the names," Mr. Palmer
announced. "I am interested in get
ting as much information on this
subject of the ultimate consumer as
I possibly can."
Reports to the department showed
that organization of fair price com
mittees in counties was proceeding
rapidly.
Revising Prices.
The effect of the government's
campaign was indicated in the re
vision by the War department of
prices to be charged for surplus
army food. Reductions were made
"to meet competition by retailers."
Authority asked yesterday by Sec
retary Glass to use the treasury
secret service in the fight against
high prices was based on the use
of the service in food investigations
during the war.
The cost of living continued to
color much of the debate in con
gress today.
Republican Leader Mondell of the
house said today he believed con
gress would adopt the president's
suggestion and amend the food con
trol act so as to make it apply to
other necessities.
This view is said to reflect the
attitude of the majority in the house,
at least. Mr. Mondell said there
was some opposition to the attorney
general's request that the treasury's
secret service force be made avail
able for the job of breaking up
profiteering.
Want Writs to Seize
Surplus Food Stocks
Chicago, Aug. 13. Government
prosecutors who are waging war on
the food hoarders and profiteers will
go before federal judges in Chicago
at an early date and ask for writs
to seize surplus food supplies in
cold storage and offer them for sale
to the public, it was announced at
the ofhee of District Attorney Clyne.
This step, it is believed by federal
officials, will have the immediate
effect of reducing prices of many
articles of, food.
The plan is later to prosecute the
o- -nrrs of the surplus stock under
the federal food control law for
hoarding.

Wilson Will Veto
Bill Repealing the
Daylight Saving Law
Washington, Aug. 13. President
Wilson, it was said today, will veto
the law proposing repeal of the day
light saving act. The measure has
been before the president since Au
gust 5 and he is expected to return
it to congress before the end of the
week.
Efforts to pass the agricultural
bill, with its repeal rider, over the
president's veto failed last month
and leaders in both house and sen
ate doubt that the two-thirds ma
jority necessary to pass the repeal
law over the executive's head can
be mustered.
French Troops Relieving
U. S. Bridgehead Patrols
Coblenz, Aug. 13. (By The
Associated Press.) French troops
Wednesday began relieving the
bridgehead patrols of the American
First division, which on Friday will
start entraining for Brest, prepara
tory to sailing for the United States.
The Frenchmen have occupied
Treves and the territory between
Luxemburg and the Rhine and also
Andernach on the Rhine, recently
vacated by the Third division, which
is now on its way home.
According to the French schedule
presented to the Americans, the
French will complete their troop
movements for taking over the areas
formerly held by the Americans on
or before August 21.
German Syndicate Plans
to Colonize Argentina
Buenos Aires, Aug. 13. Baron
Von Dem Bussche Haddenhausen,
former German minister to Argen
tina, who arrived here early this
month, reports a German coloniza
tion syndicate which is buying land
to accommodate Germans who are
coming to Argentina, the newspaper
El Diario says.
Government Seizes Eggs.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 13.
Eighty-four thousand dozen eggs
stored here for Morris & Co., Chi
cago, were seized today by the
United States district attorney.
Seizure was made under libel pro
ceedings in the federal court, which
charged that the eggs were un
lawfully stored for the purpose of
uareasouably kcreasinz orices. i
conducted the negotiations for his
government.
There has been a suggestion, too,
that conditions in Mexico were such
as to demand consideration on an
international basis in view of the
large interests of foreign investors
and especially British, in that coun
try. For a number of years the
British government has refrained
from enforcing demands upon Mex
ico for reparation for the killing of
British subjects and for heavy mon
etary losses inflicted upon British
individuals, preferring to leave to
the United States the adoption of
measures to meet these conditions.
It is believed now that one of the
f;rst duties of Viscount Grey will
be to attempt a permanent settle
ment of the British issues with the
Mexican government after reaching
a satisfactory understanding with
the American State department.
Washington Satisfied.
Announcement that Viscount Grey
was to come to Washington was re
ceived with keen gratification by
Secretary Lansing and other Amer
ican officials, who had had dealings
with him either personally in Eu
rope or through correspondence.
There was regret, however, that
Viscount Grey's service in Washing
ion was to be only temporary as it
was felt that the successful treat
ment of the many important inter
national subjects which will devolve
upon the new ambassador could be
best assured only through a reason
ably permanent tenure in office of
the negotiators.
Wilson Will Review
New Pacific Fleet
on Historic Cruiser
Los Angeles Harbor, Aug. 13.
Capt Ivan C. Wettengill, commander
of the cruiser Montana, will command
the old battleship Oregon when
President Wilson, aboard that his
toric craft, reviews the new Pacific
fleet at San Francisco, according to
an announcement made by Lieut.
Commander C. A. Lucas, flag secretary.
It had previously been suggested
that Captain Clarke, U. S. N.. re
tired, who was in command of the
Oregon on its memorable voyage
around the Horn during the Spanish-American
war, should be on the
bridge again for the San Francisco
review. This, however, was found
impractical.
The Montana is on the way to
Bremerton, Wash., taking north
men enroute from the fleet to put
the Oregon into commission.

Washington, Aug. 13. Favorable

phate, and sodium lands for the pur
pose of stimulating production was

lands committee. Ihe vote was

Food prices continued to drop in
Chicago as a result of the attacks of
federal, state and municipal officials
on the high cost of living. Butter
in tubs fell from 55 to 52 cents a
pound, while the wholesale price of
poultry was reduced from 31 to 28
cents .. pound.
It was reported that 20,000,000
pound' of California beet sugar will
ar've in Chicago within a few
weeks. Henry H. Rolapp, head of
the suirar committee of the United
States food administration, said this
will stabilize prices. He said he
did not expect the retail price of
sugar to fall below 12 cents a pound
for several months.
Opposition Aroused
to Sale of War Food
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 13. Oppo
sition to projected municipal pur
chase and distribution of War de
partment surplus food stores was
voiced in a resolution passed by the
Phoenix Trades council and pre
sented by that body to local news
papers with the request that it be
published.
"An assumption can be reasonably
indulged," says the resolution, "that
the real intent lying back of this
move (a proposal to purchase and
resell any foodstuffs . at cost plus
freight charges) is not in the inter
est of the people, but rather to cut
off their supply of goods from
reaching Phoenix, as was originally
intended, through parcel post, as
outlined by the War department."
New York State Starts

New York, Aug. 13. Investiga

War Department Quotes
Lower Price on Foods
Washington, Aug. 13. To meet
reductions recently made by retail
ers, a new scale of prices for sur
plus foodstuffs was put into effect
by the War department. Roast
beef was reduced from $2,13 to $1.90
per six-pound can; bacon from 35
to 3J cents per pound and three
pound cans of beans from 11 to 9
cents. Prices on other items were
reduced in proportion.

Representative Huddleston
Declares National Coal As
sociation Spent $50,000
on Propaganda.
Washington, Aug. 13. Repre
sentative Huddleston, democrat,
Alabama, charged in the house to
day that the National Coal asso
ciation had spent $50,000 for. adver
tising space in 400 newspapers "in
an effort to make the people buy
coal now at exorbitant prices
through belief of an impending
shortage."
"Nothing except an act of con
gress," he said, "will stay this in
famous attempt on the part of the
coal operators to take advantage of
suffering humanity next winter. I
insist that congress pass such an
act and take it out of the power of
the operators to profiteers.
"There is no coal shortage and no
labor shortage, but there is a short
age in common honesty on the part
of the coal operators.
Omaha was not neglected in this
nation-wide propaganda to promote
a scare among householders and
others who use coal.
Mayor Smith issued a proclama
tion, calling attention of citizens to
the alleged shortage which the coal
dealers told him existed. Many
made sacrifices to lay in their win
ter's' supply on the strength of the
mayor s proclamation.
Governor McKelvie was also ap
pealed to by the coal barons to is
sue a proclamation.
Local coal dealers have been an
nouncing certain prices which would
prevail for the current month, and
they invariably have stated in their
advertisements that another increase
would be in force for the next
month. This practice has prevailed
in Omaha month by month since
last April.

In addition to being sentenced to
penal servitude for taking part in
the insurrectionary movement, Vis
count Kim Yunsik and Viscount Yl
Yongchik, Korean sages, have lost
their rank in the peerage and been

Warsaw, Aug. 13. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Brig. Gen. Joseph
Pilsudski, chief of staff, and Premier
Padcrewski today reviewed a large
body of recruits for that portion of
the new Polish army of 250,000 that
is being mobilized against the bol
sheviki. Diminution of the pressure,
as a result of the reverses suffered
by Admiral Kolchak. head of the all
Russian government of Omsk, is ex
pected here to provoke another at
tempt by the bolsheviki to invade
Poland.
The whole national effort is being
concentrated upon strengthening the
eastern front. This effort militates
against economic reorganization of
the country.
The Polish government's interest
in the situation which has arisen in
Hungary is confined to evident satis
faction that the center of bolshevik
agitation in Hungary has been
stamped out.
The Polish government considers
that there is no hope of a general
peace in Europe until the Russian
problem has been solved and slender
as their national resources are, the
Poles say they must remain under
arms to defend the national integrity.

Since Greenwich Village
with its long-haired men and short-haired
women began to design silks there has
been a revolution in that art. For they
know color, these artists, they have or
iginal ideas, with the courage to carry
them out and though the results may be
bizarre, they are never crude.
The finest piece we are showing is a riot
of color and design applied in that broken
batik style, which is so effective. Rich
blues, golds, and rose shades in odd lan
terns, flowers and striped canopies with
the pale little ghosts of a Pierrot and Pier

There are others more conservative for
those who prefer them, but whether you
intend to be daring or not, you should see
these examples of a new art, they are
interesting.
