.2. THE . BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19. 1919. BULGARS' ARMY iS LIMITED TO 20.000JROOPS Treaty Presented by . Allies Shows What Lands Are Taken ). From Ger many's Ally. ; - t (Continued from rf On.) or reparation shall be given to the cost .of all armies of occupa tion of the alies and to services of the external prewar Ottoman oublic debt. Bulgaria renounces the benefits of the Bucharest and Brest Litovsk treaties and agrees to sur render the moneys and securities received according to those treaties. Roumanian Frontiers Same. '. The frontier with Roumania re mams the same as before the war, although it is understood the ques tion of inducing Poumania to cede to Bulgaria that portion of Dob- nidia which is wholly Bulgarian vin character, will be taken up later. The frontier on the west with Serbia is modified in four places to the advantage of Serbia. In the Timok valley at the north, Bulgaria cedes to Serbia a narrow territory Suf ficient to provide for proper po licing of the important Serbian railway running through that val ley. "In the : vicinity of Dragoman pass, Bulgaria cedes a small area sufficient to protect Nish from Bul garian attack. A little further south in the vicinity of Varanye, where the Bulgarians in the present war occu pied the only railway that makes " possible the defense of northern Serbia. Bulgaria is required to cede a small area of mountainous terri tory, sufficient to protect the Ser bian frontier, in the future. At the south of this frontier, where a pro jecting lobe of the Bulgarian terri- . tory came within six miles of the same vital railway, Bulgaria cedes the western projecting lobe to Ser bia, so that her frontiers are re moved ten or twelve miles eastward. Most Change in South. "The most extensive territorial change is to the south. The fron tier with Greece remains the same except for slight rectification to af ford proper protection to the Greek town Buk. Western Thrace, for merly constituted as Bulgaria's ter ritorial pathway to the Aegean sea, is ceded to the- principal allied and as sociated powers. Bulgaria agrees to accept whatever disposition of this , territory the powers ultimately de cide on. It is stipulated that what- ever . solution is adopted, an eco nomic outlet to the Aegean sea wilt be guaranteed to Bulgaria, the pow ers having the right to return all or part of the territory- to Bulgaria, transfer part to Greece, incorporate the remainder with eastern Thrace in an international sate, or to make any other solution ultimately agreed upon," ; Greece, according to the summary, , agrees to embody in a treaty with the allies such provisions to prtect the 'interest of the minorities of race, ... "language or religion ana maice pro visions necessary to protect the free dom of transit and equitable treat ment of the commerce of other na tions. Regarding Thrace, Bulgaria agrees to accept any settlement the allied and associated powers may make in this territory as to the nationality of : the inhabitants. Bulgaria's economic outlet to the Aegeen sea is insured by the allies. . . 1 Army of 20,000 Men. The Bulgarian army is to be re duced to 20,000 men within three months, with universal military ser vice abolished and voluntary enlist ment ubstituted. The .number of gendarmes, customs officials and other armed guards shall not exceed 10,000 and there must exist only one military school. The manufacture of war material will be confined to a single factory and the importation or exportation of arms, munitions or war materials of all kinds forbidden. All existing Bulgarian warships, including submarines, will be sur . rendered to the allies and warships or submarines i under construction will be broken up. Construction or acquisition of any submarines, even tor commercial purposes, will be for bidden. ; All naval arms, munitions and other war material belonging to Bulgaria at the date of the armistice ' will be surrendered to the allies. Negro Highwaymen : Rob Cripple, Who Is ; Unable Mo Resist "L. A. Bates, paralytic, who lives .alone at 116 South Ninth street, was unable to use his own revolver Wed nesday night when two negroes rob-, bed him of $60 on a street car near his home. i Bates told the police that he car . ried the revolver to protect his money, but when the occasion came to use 'the weaoon. he vu nnahle to carry out ihe intentions which had been on his mind for a long time. , The highwaymen took Bates re- volveras well as his money. Two suspects were arrested last night by Emergency Officer Al Sin clair. They are Ben Miller, 1015 Capitol ' avenue, and Joe .Green, Thirteenth and Davenport streets. Mrs. T. F.

Congress Applauds General Pershing (CaaHnM from Fas Ona.) th officer he addressed and to the soldiers who will sleep forever in Francs, as well as to those who have come home. -, Roar of Laughter. Speaker Gilletl employed a lighter touch. Prefacing his own remarks', he said that the committee of ar rangement, having provided for the address in behalf of the senate, had thought it fitting to provide also for a few "plain and homely words from the representatives of the people, the house." His remark was greeted with a roar of laughter.- The former speaker, Champ Clark of Missouri, General Pershing"s home state, had been assigned the privilege of explaining to the general the resolution of thanks congress had adopted. Senators and repre seatatives stood to honor Mr. Clark a he rose to stand directly in front of General Pershing, talking in con versational tone. When General Pershing rose to reply and faced the house, a deafen ing applause greeted him, the whole assembly standing with him. Hand clapping, cheering and yells of greeting continued for several min utes while Speaker Gillett pounded vainly for order. 1 In firm voice that carried to every corner of the big chamber, the gen eral told in modest language of what the army had done, of its realization that it was the sustaining courage of the American people that had made possible the victory. He showed deep feeling as he spoke of the graves in France and when he referred to the maimed and crippled men who have come back to' the nation as a grate ful charge the outburst of applause was deafening. Stirs Deep Feeling. At ne other point the general's words stirred deep feeling. That was when he said: "The great achievements, the high ideals, the sacrifices of our army and our people belong to no party and no creed." A salvo of applause interrupted him and it was a' minute or two be fore he could make his concluding sentences heard. ; When he had finished, under the leadership of escorting committee the general passed down the center aisle of the chamber to the door, members reaching to grasp his hand as he passed. A diminutive page blocked his way, and the general smilingly stopped to shake hands with the boy. From his seat near the aisle Representative Wilson of Ohio thrust forward his baby daugh ter and the general caught her to him and kissed her while new ap plause greeted him.t An impromptu handshaking with senators and representatives in the lobby followed, and then the expe ditionary leader was given a press gallery reception. He was not to be lured into any lengthy speech, however, contenting himself with saying that he realized that all the tumult and honor of his reception meant that he was merely the in strument through which the nation thanked the army. "I am not taking -it personally," he said. Before he left the capitol General Pershing , called on his father-in-law. Senator Warren of Wyoming, in the latter's office. As he started for his automobile a crowd of wom en sightseers fairly . mobbed him, clinging to his arms and demanding that he stop to shake hands. "Don't- hold my hand too long," he protested laughingly to one eager admirer, as he finally broke free with the aid of his staff. SENATORS GETTING READY FOR FIRST ; VOTEON TREATY Size and Importance of Docu ment Possibility of Early Agreement ' Washington, Sept. 18. Republican leaders made ready today for the first voting test next week on the German peace treaty and its league of nations covenant. Word was sent to Senator John son of California, author of an amendment to equalize the voting power of Grtat Britain and the United States in the league, and first up for consideration, to return here at once so that debate on the amendment might proceed Monday, with the hope ot adopting or re jecting it by the end of the week. Until this message to the Califor nia senator was sent by Senator Borah of Idaho, after a conference late in the day with " Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations com mittee, the report had persisted around the capitol that Senator Johnson might be absent several weeks. Senator Lodge declared there would be no vote on Amend ments this week, and opponents of the league were prepared to resist attempts to force one ,by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, leader of the administration s fight for ratth cation. . The treaty will be called up for consideration Tomorrow, aiier a two day interruption, for continuous consideration. Actual reading of the pact, which stopped short Tuesday after Article III of the league cove nant had been reached, is consider ably more of a job than the man not familiar with senatorial discussion of international questions might im agine. The printed text makes a book almost as big and quite as heavy as a New York city telephone directory. Every line of it must be read, with endless debate on some sections, running, perhaps, into weeks. ' " V ' Its size, to say nothing of impor tance of the document, explains why senators generally decline to pre dict how long it may be before finally voted on. Reed to Speak Again. Senator Reed of Missouri was ex pected to launch another attack on the league tomorrow, but it was thought at his office tonight that he might not speak until Saturday. Other senators are anxious to be heard. It is the intention of Chairman Lodge,' in charge of the treaty, to call it up every day, not later than 2 o'clock. An amendment by Sena tor Moses, republican or. New Hampshire, relating to adjudication to deputies, referred to the assem bly, will be reached tomorrow after a 10-minute reading of the league covenant text. Opponents of the covenant said , tonight the reading would be halted at that point for quite a bit of discussion, but that they would prevent a vote on it this week. Discussing his telegram to Senator Johnson urging the Cali fornia senator's immediate presence here. Senator Borah said debate on the British-American voting amend ment might go oh for a week, with the hope of a vote at the end of that time. Senator Johnson, he said, could then resume his speech-making trip against the league. . OmahansAn Washington. Washington. Sept. 18. (Special Telegram.) J. S.

MADE to ORDER ' Are You Sure? i' A' certain lady recently wrote to Rudyard Kipling: "There is one word in 'the English vocabulary, and only one, that be gins with 'su where the su' is pro nounced 'shu," and that word is ' ' "Sugar." Mr. Kipling replied to her as follows : "Are You Sure?" . So we ask, are you sure when you buy "all wool" that is "all virgin wool?" " There's a difference between merely "all wool" and "all virgin .wool." Our Fall and Winter Fabrics are now ready for your critical inspection.

"conditions that we can count on," there would be the "partial paralysis that is characteristic of a panic." Boycott Provisions. Mr. Wilson also discussed at length the arbitration and boycott provisions of the league covenant, declaring that had there been any- thi nxaoproaching such .an arrange ment in 1914 Germany never would have begun the war. The boycott, he asserted, was "an exclusion from civilized society which no Euro pean nation could endure for six months. He emphasized that the boycott was an automatic step short of war and that under the covenant all actual questions of war or peace would be reserved for decision by congress. Not Selfish Nation. . The president declared that-while the United States formerly was looked upon abroad as a selfish na tion, that opinion had been abso lutely reversed." It now is America's privilege, he said, to lead the world unless the cynical counsels of some of our acquaintances prevail" Detailing the cost of the war in money and in battle deaths. Mr.. Wil son said all of this sacrifice was made because the world never haa had the courage to set up such a sys tem of arbitration and discussion as the league covenant proposed Speaks to Students. Berkeley, Cal., Sept. 18. Presi dent Wilson told an audience of fac ulty and students of the University of California assembled in the Greek theater on the university cam pus at Berkeley today that he had no objection to the peace treaty be ing debated, but objected to it be ing defeated so long and thought it ought to be debated more fairly. Some men and newspapers were misrepresenting the treaty,, he said, and instead of discussing it on its merits were picking out little flaws. Some of the greatest mistakes In American history were due. to just such actions as that, the president said. The president and Mrs. Wilson arrived in Qakland from San Fran cisco this afternoon and were cheered by crowds of school chil dren, who lined the streets through which they drove. Welcomed by Mayor. On arrival at the Greek theater the president was welcomed by Mayor Louis Bartlett of Berkeley and Dean W. C. Jones of the uni versity. At the close of his brief talk the presidential party drove to the athletic field. The automobiles circled the field to give the crowds in the stands a view of President Wilson and the party then returned to Oakland, where the president Bad dinner in private at his hotel be fore his evening address at the Civic auditorium. . Before his departure from San Francisco today President Wilson received a petition from the Chinese National Welfare Society of Amer ica, said to' represent 10,000 Chi nese in the United States, asking the president to use his influence to bring about a readjustment of the Shantung award.

The judge declared that someone among the prosecutors was giving out information without proper authority. DEFEND PLAN TO REPEAL LUXURY TAX SECTIONS Congressman Jefferis Says Present Revenue System Is Cumbersome and Unbusinesslike. By E. C. SNYDER, Washington Correspondent Omaha Bm. Washington, Sept. 18, (Special Telegram.) Congressman Jefferis in his desire to put a stop to the methods in vogue In collecting the so-called luxury taxes, which he be lieves cumbersome, unbusinesslike and tends to retard a healthy growth of industry during the reconstruc tion period, introduced a bill some time ago repealing certain sections of the revenue bill dealing with taxes and placing a tax on manufac turers that he thought would offset the loss in repealing these taxes. Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee in a letter to him received yesterday objected to the bill on the ground that it would not offset the amount of revenue raised by taxes on the , sections sought to be repealed. Mr. Jefferis replied to the Ford ttey letter as follows: "While I was not aware that the sections which I seek to repeal will yield the large sum which you claim, nevertheless I hasten to point out that I would have no objection to raising the per cent of tax to any level which the committee may deem necessary to bring an equal revenue to the amount which it is estimated will be collected under the present tax. My stand is not against taxa tion. "I fully realize the dire need that the government has, and will con tinue to have, for revenue, and would not favor any measure which would seek to curtail this income. But I am unalterably opposed to the pres ent method of collecting taxes and have therefore introduced a bill, not as a panacea for all the evils of taxa tion, but to suggest a better way of deriving revenue. The present system may nghtly be termed an honest man's tax" for the income therefrom depends largely upon the honesty of the payee. It is causing a great un rest among the people, who deem it unnecessary to pay war taxes in peace times, and I feel that it is ab solutely necessary to revert the tax to the manufacturers, and by this means to create an invisible tax." Youth Beaten by "Pals" in Cell in the City Jail Robert Bevins, 17 years old, 2119 North Twenty-fourth street, re ceived a severe beating in a cell in the city jail yesterday, where he was confined with his two "pals," before police could interfere. .The "pals," Edward Colman and Edward Huffman, both living at 140834 Chicago street, and both a year older than Bevins, declared that they "were getting revenge on Bevins for squealing on them." Ihe three youths were arrested Wednesday. Bevins told police that they were members of a eanar led by a "bold vampire" and an ex-soldier. A turnkey stopped the fisrht and put Bevins in another cell. He will be taken to the county jail. III m HfiStilS li-Hii Mil President Defied By Steel Workers (Continued from Face One.) oonement were cognizant of the ac tual conditions surrounding iron and steel mills. It was claimed that workers were eager for the strike; that they were discriminated against tor union activities, ana rnat tne oreanized workers would lose con fidence in their leaders if they turned back and deserted the men at this time. Strike Circular. The strike circular, which has al ready been distributed among steel workers throughout the country, reads in part: "The workers on the iron and steel mills and blast furnaces not working under union agreements are requested not to go to work on September 22, and to refuse to re sume their employment until such time as the demands of the organi zations have been conceded by the steel corporations. Read Letter to Wilson. The steel wrkers' national com mittee late tonight made public a letter it has drafted and sent to Pres ident Wilson, giving 11 reasons whv it could not comply with his request to postpone the steel workers' strike called tor next Monday, i he letter also recites the history of the movement to better the conditions of the workers and expresses faith m the presidents 'desire to bring about a conference" with employers. "We regret that for the first time your call on organized labor can not meet with tavorable response, the letter states. "If delay were no more than delay, even at the cost of loss of membership in our organiza tions, we would urge the same to the fullest of our ability notwith standing the men are firmly set for an immediate strike.
