San. Antonio, Te., Jan. 22. Car
ranza anil a few of his principal lieu-
Tenants instigated and directed the
lone series of raids on American
properties that began along the Rio
uranae early in is13, according to
documentary evidence today placed
before the senate subcommittee in
vestigating the Mexican situation.
This W3S supported by testimony
by John A. Walls, the district at
torney at Brownsville, Tex.; L. R.
Barnes, in . charge of the United
States zrmy intelligence work along
ihe borderdnring the war, and other
witnesses. The committee obtained
from them and from documentary
evidence information tending to
show that not only were the high
est Mexicar officials cognizant of
the program of the raiding parties
which was carried out under the
provisions of the" plan of San
Diego," but that as late as June,
1915. they were still given encour

partioirated in those raids in plans
Success of Germans.
Incident to the taking of testi
mony regarding Mexican govern
ment officials' connection with the
''plan of San Diego," further in
formation was obtained as to the
success encountered by Germans in
. bidding for the sympathy and sup
port of Mexico during the war and
the reoorted present drift toward
bolshevism. T. B. Allendorf, a
Pole who was in the intelligence
service of the American army
during the war and w'ho was
largely responsible for the arrest
of the German spy, Witske, now a
prisoner at Fort Sam Houston, Tex.,
was placed on the witness stand
long enough to identify Mario Men
dez, the director of telegraphs in
Mexiccvas one of those whom Min
ister Von Eckhardt kept on his pay
roll during the war. Allendoff said
Mender job was to see that copies
of all messages from the United
States bearinz on military affairs

government in Mexico came from a
copy of a letter written, by Linn
Gale to L. C. A. K. Martens, the
holsheviki's representative at New

Draft Dodger helps.
"Knowing you are the financial
agent of the Russian soviet in New
York,? Gale wrote, '"I take the lib
erty of asking you if you can give
me financial aid in my propaganda
in Mexico."
He added the explanation 'that he
was the editor of a magazine de
voted to the furtherance of radical
ism. ' He explained that he went to
Mexico to evade the army draft,
"and since then" he added. "I have
established very close relations with
the Mexican government which I
havfe urged to bolshevise the coun

Summarized the plan of San
Diego, a copy of which was read
into the record follows:
"The States of Texas, New Mex
ico, Colorado, Arizona and Califor
nia are to be invaded simultane
ously with uprising with Mexican
and negro citizens on the American
side. A separate government is to
be established and reannexation to
Mexico requested. Six other states
contiguous to this territory are to
be carved out of the United States
to be formed into a negro republic
under the protection of Mexico.
This is to be accomplished in a
ruthless man wen All male Ameri
cans more than 16 years of age are
to be killed."
Italy Not to Enforce
London Treaty Until
Other Measures Fail
Paris, Jan. 22. Italy will demand
of France and England the carrying
out of the treaty of London only
when all other means" of settling the
Adriatic question have been tried
and found futile, according to a
statement made by Premier Nitti to
a representative of the Echo de
Paris. The correspondent accom
panied the Italian premier frdm this
city to Nice, and was told by Signor
Nitti that his, trip to ' Rome was
brought about solely by the railroad
strike in Italy.
"The reply of the Jugo-Slav gov
ernment to the note of the supreme
council relative to conflicting claims
6n the eastern shores of the Adriatic
does not satisfy us," the premier is
quoted as saying, "but we have gone
to thextreme limit in making con
cessions. The world should realize
that for' the sake of Fiume we re
nounce Dalmatia which was given
to us by the pact of London. We
hone that after a lew days further
reflection the Jugo-Slavs will send
an acceptable answer."
Premier Nitti expects to return to
Paris soou to resume his work in
the peace conference.

London. Jan. 22. Ex-Premier
Herbert H. Asquith seeks to re
turn, to parliament through the by
election in the Paisley constituency
arising out of the death of Sir J.
McCallum. The local liberals have
adopted Mr. Asquith as their candi
date. There is already a labor can
didate, J. M. Biggar, in the field, and
as the coalitionists had previously
decided not to contest the seat if
Mr. Asquith were selected, there
is- likely to be a straight fight be
tween the liberals and labor candi
dates unless, as is considered im
probable, the unionists run a candi

Providence. Rj, I., Jan. 22. John
R. Rathom, editor of the Providence
Journal, replied to a statement of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in which the
assistant secretary of the navy as
serted that Mr. Rathom's charges
that immoral conditions in the navy
existed with the full knowledge of
Secretary Daniels were malicious
and false. Mr. Rathom said in part:
"We are about to present to the
senate committee a list of seven
specific charges against the officials
of the Navy department backed by
hundreds of pages of official testi
mony and the names of 35 witnesses.
No Interest in Men.
"The Providence Journal has nol
interest whatever in the men who
have been accused by the Navy de
partment. It knows. none of them
and is not in any way concerned
in their guilt or innocence. In pre
senting these charges we have(only
one aim in view the maintenance
of honorable and decent conditions
in the United States navy and of
its morale, the protection of tens
of thousands of honorable officers
and enlisted men in the navy and the
punishment of the brute beasts re
sponsible for the present conditions
and those -who have permitted such
conditions to exist.
"Mr. Roosevelt's statement that
our charges constitute a maliciously
vicious, dishonest and dishonorable
attack is absolutely false m every re

Washington, Jan. 22. Opponents
cf anti-sedition measures, led byJ
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
urged the house rules committee to
block the passage of the measures
because of their drastic provisions
and because sufficient laws now ex-
st to prosecute dangerous radicals
and communists. '
Attornev General Palmer, who
previously had announced his Sup
port of both the Sterling bill, which
passed the senate, and the Graham
measure, which has been held up in
the house because of the drastic
death penalty provision, failed to
aooear'in defense of the measures.
The attornev general, however, sent
a lette- to Chairman Campbell of the
rules committee, stating he was im
pelled to say that neither of the bills
accords with, my views as to what
the legislation ought to be, and
recommended as a substitute a bill
which he drafted last November and
which was introduced several weeks
ago by Representative Davey, dem
ocrat of Ohio.
Fine of $10,000.
The Davey bill provides fines riot
exceeding $10,000 and imprisonment
for not more than 20 years tor per
sons convicted ot an attempt to
overthrow1 the government, or of
cts of violence against the govern
ment. Ths measure also would pro
hibit writings or teachings which
constitute sedition.
The Department of Justice is
ready, Mr. Palmer informed the
committee, to enforce whatever leg
islation congress should see fit to
pass.
Air. Gompers, appearing as the
spokesman for the American Feder
ation on Labor, denounced the pend
ing bills in unqualified terms. Mass
meetings with the orderly purpose to
strike to improve living conditions
would be suppressed under the bills,
asserted Mr. Gompers, adding that
strikes and cessations of labor are
nothing more or less than aspira
tions of working people to improve
their conditions.
"I do not believe this species of
legislation will stifle the things it is
supposed to do," Gompers asserted,
"but rather it will provoke the op
posite. It will tie men to their jobs."

Abolishment of Council of

By E. C. SNYDER,
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee.
Washington, Jan. 22. (Special
Telegram.) Representative Mc
Laughlin today introduced a house
bill to repeal section 2 of the mili
tary appropriation act of August 29,
1919, creating a council of national
defense and providing for its person
nel. It is Mr. McLaughlin s corf
viction that the council of national
defense is serving no useful purpose
at this time and he makes the charge
that its only function is to create po
sitions for people whom the mem
bers of the council don't want to
let out. The Fifth district repre
sentative unhesitatingly says that
the council abused its privileges dur
ing the war and caused a whole lot
of unnecessary trouble.
"There is no reason whatsoever
that I know of to continue these of
fenses in times of peace," Said Mr.
McLaughlin. He also makes the
charge that the council is sending
out thousands of typewritten bulle
tins of no use, and if their issuance
was stopped the paper used would
help relieve the present shortage in
white print paper. His is convinced
the business of the council could be
handled by some other department
of the government.

The Last But Most Important Day
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE in charge of the Thrift Campaign has made "Pay Your Bills Day"
the last day of the campaign Saturday, Jan. 24. This is due to the importance of this particular
educational effort and in the hope of making a lasting impression upon debtor as well as creditor.
Why Pay Bills Promptly?
Answered by Credit Men
There are ever so many reasons why it pays to maintain s
good credit rating, but the outstanding feature is the fact that
those who do pay their bills promptly as they become due are on
the high road to success, contentment and happiness.
A good credit rating is an asset On the part of a merchant
it is an expression of CONFIDENCE in YOU your honesty,
trustworthiness and integrity. It makes it possible, when really
worthwhile bargains are offered at the stores and you do riot have
money ready for such an event, to SAVE by securing the mer
chandise you desire and have it charged to your account.
If you pay your bills promptly, you are rated as a desirable
citizen. YOUR NAME is as GOOD AS CASH. Everyone is anxious
to serve you, for it is a pleasure to do business with one who has
a clear credit record. 1
A good credit rating over tv period of fifteen years often
proves useful when Dame Opportunity knocks at your door and
you appear at the bank for a loan. A good credit standing has
often been a deciding factor in favor of the borrower.
Again, failure to pay bills promptly ties up large sums of
money. Your individual credit is a cog in the great financial wheel
of the nation. If you do not pay bills promptly business cannot
pay its bills. If the credit of business isn't good, then the credit
of our nation is not good.
Purchasing on credit has become so easy one is inclined to
forget that the privileges enjoyed are, after all, an accommodation
and if abused will eventually add to the cost of doing business and
must be paid for by the consumer.
In closing, remember that through the Associated Retailers
every business place in .Omaha has your credit standing at its
finger tips. You are rated after the plan upon which businesses
are rated. The record files show your credit rating is good, medi
um or bad. The more promptly bills are paid the better your rat
ing grows. How important it is, therefore, that we pay bills
promptly.1 H. 0. WRENN.
It is a real pleasure to answer the question, "Why pay bills
promptly?" and in just a few words I will mention two chief rea
sons which in my judgment cover the field. v
First The extension of credit involves an obligation, in other
words, a contract between two parties the creditor and the
debtor and, although the obligation is handled in a verbal man
ner, the trust imposed by the creditor jn the debtor is just as
sacred as though a contract were drawn in written form and signed
by both parties. Every credit transaction should be viewed in this
light.. The merchant allows his customer to take his merchandise,
having faith in his honor and integrity to assume his part of the
obligation.
Now for the second reason, which emphasizes the element of
promptness involved in the transaction. The merchant needs his
money. The merchant's capital is invested in his business and
must be kept at work; just as a pool of water without a source of
supply becomes stagnant, so a mercantile "establishment without
frequent additions of fresh merchandise; and the credit favor
which the merchant so gladly extends to his customer, he in turn
must seek from the manufacturer and jobber, and this activity
of capital thus engaged is essential to the health of the business.
v I. A. BENEDICT.
Credit a Priceless Asset"'
Prompt Pay Creates Credit
s
The lesson sought to be taught by the Thrift Campaign is not
to hoard money, but to spend it wisely. The lesson-sought to be
taught on "PAY YOUR BILLS I?AY" is important to all men
and women for the reason that unless prompt and regular pay
ment of bills becomes the custom of men and women everywhere,
those who fail to adopt this custom will find it absolutely im
possible to obtain credit; and CREDIT is the most valuable pos
session of any man, be he rich or poor; the possession of good
CREDIT Ms the roa-i that carries you into the possession of the
things worth while.
"PAY YOUR B" LS DAY" should he on a certain date of
ach month; the day of the month decided upon in advance; and
then have an understanding with all creditors that on that day
bill wilt be paid. '
Credit is character; and no man unless unworthy of the name
"man," would willingly destroy the character of another. Most
men would go out of their way to protect the other's character.
The retail credit man is a man; and all of them are anxious to
protect the credit or character of patrons of their stores. Should
it happen through unfortunate circumstances that it is impossible
for you to meet your monthly obligations on the time agreed, you
need have no hesitancy in taking it up withthe credit man of your
creditor. You willnd that hp will meet you more than half way,
and assist in protecting your good name.
t
The credit bureau of the Associated Retailers of Omaha is
operated not only in the interest of the stores, but in the interests
of each individual in Omaha. Because of the large numbers of
names that are alike, or very similar, mistakes creep in (very sel
donO and anyone who may hear that he has a rating which he does
not believe is just, is most earnestly requested to visit the bureau
and assist the management in eradicating any error that may have
crept in. vi
' "Co-operation Is the Source
ot Progress'9
The Associated Retailers of Omaha are the accredited repre
sentatives in Omaha for the two great national credit men's or
ganizations, the Retail Credit Men's National Association and the
National Association of Mercantile Agencies. These two national
organizations have representatives in every city, town and hamlet
in the United States, besides being affiliated with organizations in
some of the foreign countries. The co-operation existing between
these two national associations and the Associated Retailers of
Omaha gives to the local association a source of information that
is invaluable.
The watchword of the credit bureau of the Associated Retail
ers of Omaha is "Service;" service not only to the retailer, but to
every individual in Omaha's trade territory. We invite all business
and professional men who may be willing to assist in educating the
1 people as to the value of a good credit standing, and are willing to
actively co-operate with the membership of the association, to in
vestigate the proposition and co-operate with us.
Why Pay Bills Promptly?
.
Answered by Credit Men
There are three reasons why we should pay our bills promptly.
First: By vav'mz our bills promptly, we create a sense of honor
within ourselves, causing us to desire that all our obligations be
met as is required by our creditors; and brings betore us tne neces
sity of beinjr economical and conservative in our buying at all
times, resulting in our income going farther and our bank account
growing larger. N
Second : By paying our hills promptly we create a feeling of
respect among the commercial houses through which we transact
our businees, establishing a reputation vouching for our character,
insuring us service and courtesy atall times and leniency in times
.of need.
Third : By paying our bills promptly, the houses favoring us
with the privilege of credit are enabled to meet their obligations
with a like decree of rirorrmtness. thereby olaeins: them irt a po
sition to sell goods at a more reasonable rate which, of course, will
work to our benefit in reducing prices.
Upon first reading these three reasons appear to be of a
selfish nature. However, when we go into tha deeper analysis
we discover there what might be converted into an entirely dif
ferent motive. Our income and bank account is really of no last
ing value to us unless the surplus is used to relieve the strait
ened condition N)f suffering humanity, who are adrift in the
world. '
If we put forth all our energy to meet our obligations with
the one object in view ef placing ourselves' before our creditors
and the community at large as persons a little better than others,
we have not bettered our condition. But, when we do all of this
because of a sincere desire to live upright and righteously before
all men, doing our utmost to do that which is right and just at all
times, that those with whom we come in contact may receive an
inspiration to do likewise, we have fulfilled our obligations in the
right spirit. . . -
Lastly, we should meet our billspromptly, thereby relieving
our creditors of a great deal orworry fcnd anxiety, for you know
it takes a vast amount of money to conduct a business on the
credit basis, and we who have been favored with the privilege of
credit 'should, in justice to thefee who have befriended us, re
ciprocrate by returning t them their statements, accompanied by
the amount called for on the date they are due. For after all, we
should live our lives and conform "our actions to the wishes and
desires of others as much as possible, keeping in mind the ad
monition of the great Apostle Paul, "Quit ye like men, be strong."
I know of no better reason "Why Pay Bills Promptly."
J. I. MARTIN.
' ' : -V
It is my experience that when a new customer applies for
credit I immediately form an opinion as to whether they are en
titled to it or not. Sometimes, after investigation, I am com
pelled to change this opinion, but generally the first impression
is correct.
The answer to this is "Confidence." The "Good Pay" cus
tomers know that they have a clean record and that a little in
quiry will convince the credit grantor that their account is desir
able They are ready and willing to give any information desired
and answer all questions that are necessary.
When I meet one of these people they inspire me with their
"confidence," and I know their accounts will never cause me
any worry. '
On the other hand, when I mejet a crusty individual who
resents any reference to "pay your bills promptly," I im
mediately put out the sign Safet" First." L. C. HAMILTON.
