MAJORITY ADOPTS 10 RESERVATIONS TO PEACE TREATY All Must Be Accepted by Three of Other Great Powers Before Pact Is Effective.i (Continued From Far Om.) additional reservations to be taken up later, had failed to secure the sup port of all of the "mild" republicans, The leaders, however, asserted they had the votes pledged to carry all of their oroposals throuKh the senate, This feature of the majority plan aroused particular opposition among the democrats, who have stood de terminedly against any qualification that would require reopening of ne gotiations. The administration forces also objected strenuously to the article 10 reservation and to the one permitting trade between the nations of the United States and the nationals of a covenant-breaking state. That privilege, they asserted, would upset the plan for the auto matic boycott which league advo cates have declared would be sub stituted in many cases for war. Defer Action on Three Points. Action on three reservations on the majority program was deferred and it was said more would be added to the list before the next meeting of the committee.

E 5 J Two pages from the indelible ledger of the life's work of A. Hospe, showing a balance of "Worldly Merchandise" and the "Public s Faith." a A I ai will TUST 45 years ago today, Anton Hospe, then mere lad of only 20 yean, worked nis way to I Omaha from his home in Cincinnati, Ohio.i In 1874 Omaha waa but a small village of the fj "far west", the terminus of the Union Pacific railroad, yet this lad was canny enough to see far into the future when It would be a great financial, commercial and industrial metrop olis, the gateway to the great and growing west beyond. Anton had no money, he had no friends, no education, no experience, only a supreme con fidence in himself, and the stern determination to raise himself, by his own "bootstraps" into a position of wealth and influence. His only asset was an insatiable desire for learning and ca pacity for hard work. Yet undaunted by his detriments, unhindered by the idea "that it could't be done" he tackled his life's work-r-and won. , . i i Interested above all other things In art an d music, he hitched his wagon to this star. Know ing not how he would begin he began. His initial venture was naturally very small, even lu dicrousyet by hard work and sacrifice, he builded, at first slowly, then faster and faster. Today Mr. Hospe owns four stores, handling annually thousands of pianos and player pi anos, tens of thousands of talking machines, thousands of art masterpieces, pictures and frames, furniture specialties, hundreds of violins, guitars, mandolins and Other musical instruments as well as band instruments of all kinds. His business is today perhaps the largest of its kind in the central west. a Anton Hospe 4he boy the man has remained in actual charge of the operations of his business since 1874. Forty-five years of active service, through good times and lean, Mr. Hospe has stuck to his post, establishing a record for continuity of business management, unrivaled, to our knowledge, in any establishment of its kind in the entire country. i - Today he can be found at his desk, in the front main center of .his great retail store on Douglas street, industriously planning a greater future for his company and cheerfully greet 'ng the hundreds of friends and customers who enter there daily. mm 1 AO in The Nw Factor oa 10th d DongUa Will Be CompUtad ia 3 Meat. W&y Labor Delegates Bolt Industrial inference i (CentUtttd rrora Fa Oiw.) tated by President Wilson yesterday from his sick bed, urging tne imper ative necessity for some action by the conference to insure industrial peace during the reconstruction period. The president's message follows: To the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Industrial Conference: "I am advised by your chairman that you have come to a situation which appears to threaten the life of your conferencee, and because of that I am presuming to address a word of very solemn appeal to you as Americans. It is not for me to assess the blame for . the present condition. I do not speak in a spirit of criticism of arv individual or of any group. J-iut having called this conference, I feel that my temporary indisposition should not bar the way to a frank ex pression of the seriousness of the position in which this country will be placed shoutd you adjourn with- chose; that steps should be taken by the league to prevent the white slave traffic, and that the section validat ing the acts of .the alien property custodian should not be binding in any case where the laws of this country were violated. Among those to be added is one regarding the voting power of the British dominions in the league, it now being generally conceded that the Johnson amendment will be de feated in the senate.

T da hn dUrnvered that a thin coating of lead, applied by the me tal spraying ' process, win protect water turbine blades from being worn by sand earned in water, out having convinced the American people that you had exhausted your resourcefulness and your patience in an effort to come to some common agreement "At a time when the nations of the world are endeavoring to find a way of avoiding international war, are we to confess that there is no method to be found for carrying on industry excepet in the spirit and with the very method of war? Must suspicion and hatred and force rule us in civil life? Are our industrial leaders and our industrial workers to live together without faith in each other, constantly struggling for ad vantage over each other, doing naught but what is compelled? Informed, Although Sick. My friends, this would be an in tolerable outlook, a prospect un worthy of the large things done by this people in the mastering of this continent indeed, it would be an invitation to national disaster. From Such a possibility my mind turns away, for my confidence is abiding that in this land we have learned how to accept the general iudgment upon matters that affect the public weal. And this is the very heart and soul of democracy. "It is my understanding that you have divided upon one portion only of a possible large program which has not been fully developed. Be fore St severance is effected, based upon present differences, I believe you should stand together for the development of that full oroeram touching the many questions within the broad scope of your investiga tions. It was in my mind when this conference ,was called that you would concern yourselves with the discovery of those methods by which a measurable co-ooeration within industry may have been se cured, and it new machinery needs to be designed by which a minimum of conflict between employers and employes may reasonably be hoped for, that we should make an effort to secure its adoption. Agree on General Plan. "It cannot be expected that at every step all parties will agree up on each proposition or method sug gested. It is to be expected, how ever, that as a whole, a plan or a program can be agreed upon which will advance further the productive capacity of America through the establishment of a surer and heartier co-operation between all the ele ments engaged in industry. The public expects not less than that you shall have that one end in view and stay together until the way is found leading to that end or until it is re vealed that the men who work and the men who manage American in dustry are set upon divergent paths that all efforts at co-operation is doomed to failure. "I renew my appeal with full ap prehension of the almost incompar able importance of your tasks to this and to other peoples, and with full faith in the. patriotism and good faith of each other that you push your task to a happy conclusion."
