LEAGUE FIGHT
FOR GOVERNOR
IS WITHDRAWN
t. E. Youngs Refuses to Make
Race in Primary Conven
tion to Be Called
in May.
Lincoln, March 7. (Special.)
Elmer E. Youngs, endorsed by the
nonpartisan league at its state con
vention here a week ago, will not
make the race for the republican
nomination in the primary and a
mass convention will-be called on
May 4 in Lincoln to either nominate
or endorse candidates for a state
ticket
This means that the nonpartisan
league will not go into the repub
lican primary for the purpose of
nominating a state ticket, but will
'confine their endeavors to the elec
tion of a state legislature.
The resignation of Mr. Youngs
was received by J. D. Ream, chair
man of the state executive commit
tee of the league, a tew days ago
and the committee met yesterday
and accepted the resignation and
decided, as it was too late to call
another state convention, that the
only thinsr to be done now was to
call the mass meeting after the pri
mary and perhaps put up a candi
date for governor by petition and
perhaps a state ticket.
Mr. Youngs in his letter of with
drawal says that he has had a very
severe attack of the "flu" and that
it has left him in such a weakened
condition that it would be useless
for-him to try and, make the cam
paign that should be made.
The committee in its answer to
Mr. Youngs regrets the action he is
compelled to make and accepts the
offer of Mr. Youngs to do what he
can in the campaign.
It is generally understood that
George B. Wylie, endorsed by the
league for lieutenant governor, and
Georg'S C. Porter, endorsed for at
torney general, will also likely with
draw that the league may be in a
position to start in all over new at
its mass convention in May.

REVIVE DEBATES
AT UNIVERSITY
OF NEBRASKA
Inter-Collegiate Contests, Dis
continued During War, to
Be Resumed Again in
Near Future.
Lincoln, Neb., March 7. Inter
collegiate debating by the University
of Nebraska is to be resumed. This
phase of university activity, which
the war put off the map in 1917,
when practically all of the students
of the college of law and the col
lege of arts who were in the cours
in argumentative composition and
in debate vanished from the campus,
will start up again next month, ac
cording to announcement on the old
debate bulletin board in University
hall by Prof. M. M. Fogg.
For two simultaneous debates with
Iowa and Nebraska, arrangements
are nearly completed.. These debates
will be held at Lincoln and Iowa
City, probably about the middle of
April.
The question, the exact phrasing
of which will be announced soon, is
expected to be that of the ratification
of the league of nations covenant
Training Less Strenuous.'
Very few students are on the
campus who have had the univer
sity training in the regular English
courses, which were practically sus
pended for two years, in argumenta
tion and in oral discussion. The
preparation for inter-collegiate de
bate work this year, which wll be
done in much shorter time than here
tofore, will also go at a less strenu
ous pace than formerly. Special
training in preparation for . the de
bates will be largely eliminated, the
idea of both Iowa and Nebraska
being to make these contests mainly
an opportunity for students to apply
what they have already learned in
the regular courses about the science
and art of debate."
The Kansas-Nebraska debates in
1916 and in 1915 a quadruple vic
tory for the Cornhuskers were the
last forensic contests Nebraska took
part in before the war. On the
question of submarine war L. V.
Kline, '20; W. L. Heyler, '18, and
Charles E. Schofield, '17, won the
decision at Iowa City, and Robert
B. Waring, law, '17, of Geneva; C.
Ivan Winslow, '18, of Beaver City,
and E. Everett Carr, law, '17, now a
lawyer at North Platte, captured the
honors at Lawrence. In 1915, on
the question of increasing arma
ment, the Nebraska victors at Lin
coln were Samuel C. Zimmerman,
law, '16;' E. Everett Carr, law, '17,
and A. C. Swenson, former '18, now
of the University of Wisconsin; and
at Lawrence, Charles E. Schofield,
'17; Guy C. Chambers, law, '16, now
practicing law in Lincoln, and Har
old J. Schwab, '16, law, '18, of Mc
Cook.' Ord Methodist Church Buys

URGE EXTENSION
OF RELIEF WORK
, IN EAST EUROPE
Resolutions Adopted Unani
mously at Meeting of Board
of Governors of Red Cross.
Geneva, March 6. Acting upon an
appeal by Arthur J. Balfour as presi
dent of the council of the league of
nations, the board of governors of
the League of Red Cross Societies in
session here unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring for tlje exten
sion of voluntary relief work among
the starving and diseased popula
tions of central and eastern Europe,
provided that the essentials of food,
clothing and transportation be pre
viously assured these peoples
through governmental action.
The resolution was introduced by
Henry P. Davison, on behalf of the
board of governors of the league.
Must Restore Well Being.
"If we areto have peace in the
world," Mr. Davison said, in sup
porting the resolution, "we must re
store the well being of the people
sufficiently. This world-wide appeal
will thrill the world. It is the first
time such, an appeal has been made,
but if the Red Cross is to furnish
the doctors and nurses and sufficient
money to carry on the operations,
the governments must supply the
food, clothing and transportation.
Sir Arthur Stanley said that Mr.
Davison had informed the board of
directors of a contribution from the
American Red Cross of $500,000 for
investigation purposes, and that this
money could be used in carrying
out the preliminary studies in ac
cordance with Mr. Balfour's request.
Supplies Sadly Lacking.
In his letter to Mr. Davison urg
ing action by the Red Cross organ
ization Mr. Balfour pointed out that
the ravages of disease had reached
appalling- proportions in central Eu
rope and that medical appliances
and medical skill were lacking to
cope with the horrors that had to be
faced.
"The catastrophe is of such un
exampled magnitude," continued Mr.
Balfour's letter, "that no organiza
tion less powerful than the League
of Red Cross Societies seems ade
quate to cope with it.
Encourage Red Cross.
"To this great body I therefore
make appeal. The members of the
league of nations have agreed to en
courage the Red Cross, whose pur
poses are to prevent disease and 4he
mitigation of suffering throughout
the world. There can surely never
be an occasion calling more in
stantly for action.
"Though confident of the moral
support of my colleagues, I 'have
been unable formally to criticise
them or to speak with their author
ity. I shall, however, bring this
matter before the council at the
earliest possible moment. Mean
time I venture to1 urge the League
of Red Cross Societies to organize
an effort worthy of its unique posi
tion for dealing with a calamity
which, following hard upon the war,
seems almost worse than the war
itself."
United States Buying
Supplies of Mutton in
New Zealand Market
Near York Times-Chicago Tribune Cable.
Copyright, 1920.
London. March 7. In its political
notes the Sunday Times has the fol
lowing squib:
"America is reported to be buying
New Zealand beefv but the purchases
made for the United Statesare of
prime new season's lamb, to be
shipped from the dominion. New
York has no intention of taking our
two years' stored mutton as a be
lated return for British acceptance
during the lean years of the war of
American beef of a quality which is
still a painful memory."
Point is given to the paragraph
for London readers by the fact that
at oresent residents in the British
metropolis can rarely obtain any
meat that can be described as palat
able. English or Scotch beef is the
greatest luxury, and imported mut
ton is regarded as highly flavored.
Broken Water Main Gives
Thrill to Great White Way
New York. I.f arch 7. New York's
"white light" district was given a
new thrill Saturday night when a.
20-inch water main burst in the
vicinity of Times Square and flooded
the streets for several blocks. Shops,
cellars and subways were inundated
and traffic was tied up by the flow
of water which turned to ice.
Several persons in a basement
barber ship had a narrow escape
from being trapped by the deluge.
Three who were being shaved dashed
to the street hatless and coat-
less with lathered faces.
The broken mam threw a "huge
geyser of water for more than a
Quarter of an hour before it could

New York Times-Chicago Tribune Cable,
Copyright, 1930.
Paris. March 7. In the midst of
fiis preparations to leave Paris,
field Marshal Foch, commander-in-chief
of the allied armies, said:
"The league of nations? I can
tell you nothing on this subject
first, because I'm a 'soldier and the
league of nations is quite beyond my
province; second, because I cannot
give you an opinion on something
that does not exist which is the
case with the league of nations. It
simply does not exist.
'It certainly is a beautiful idea
but just an idea. At present all that
exists of the league of nations is its
name. 1 hese are a few words, noth
ing more.
Won't Prove Effectual.
"The work of organizing and
creating everything still remains to
De done, mat is, it later on we
succeed in creating anything I
don't think the league of nations will
prove effectual in granting peace to
the world or security to trance and
even if it be established, it will be
unable to do this for a long time to
come, at any rate. I always main
tain the safety of my country can be
guaranteed only by tangible existing
securities as the barrier of the
Rhine, for instance. I don't trust as
much in idealistic theories as in
facts, and now, when I see how mat
ters stand, I think France can less
than ever dispense with exacting
firm guarantees.
At present I don t consider the
league of nations efficacious protec
tion for the peace of the world.','
French Change Stand on
Proposed Loan to Germany
Paris, March 7. The instructions
sent by the French government to
its delegates at London regarding
the inability of France to accept in
its entirety the proposed economic
declaration of the allies, with the
proposition that a loan be made to
Germany, guaranteed by German as
sets in priority to reparations pay
ments, have resulted in the revision
of that declaration, according to ad
vices received here. Some of the
proposals of the original declaration,
notably the loan proposition, were
regarded by France as an indirect
attempt to revise the treaty of Ver
sailles.
It is stated that negotiations are
continuing for further modifications
m the declaration.

AT THE
THEATERS
WHAT is rarer than a real
musical comedy nowadays?
And what a relief it is to listen
to one after the smash-bang-hoorah
stuff that is masquerading under the
name. "The Canary," which opened
at the Brandeis last night is un
usual. A piece in which there are
music and lights, and clever dancers.
i and pretty girls, and the charm of
Julia Sanderson rounded out with
the fun of Joseph Cawthorn. If
one were inclined to rush into super
latives, here is where the whole
battery might be turned loose.
Donald Brian is no longer the third
of the trio; his place in the comedy
is taken by Eugene Revere, while
Doyle and Dixon contribute all the
dancing he ever did and a little bit
imore. His absence, tneretore, is
noted without special regret.
Miss Sanderson continues the
same elusive, captivating bit of
humanity with an indefinable charm,
a smile that lights the whole theater,
dancing lightly or madly, singing
sweetly if not ambitiously, and
pleasing in all she does. Long may
she wave, and may it be possible
that she retain this great possession
of hers through all her days. Her
place is her own. ,
Joseph Cawthorn glows wivh the
mellow light of a ripened humor.
His fun seems spontaneous and his
comedy is contagious. It was a
happy chance that linked him with
Miss Sanderson and thus supplied
the means for giving the talent of
each a setting that enhances its
value and brings out all its beauties.
Their , little scenes together are
gems of comedy and bespeak the
perfect understanding that makes
for success in such a combination.
Doyle and Dixon have fitted them
selves into this ensemble of ability
and unobtrusively display those pe
culiarities of dance that have won
them such deserved popularity.
They are generous, too, and the
stage manager gives them full
chance to entertain the customers.
Dancing together, with the chorus,
with Miss Sanderson, and in the
special dance by Mr. Dixon and Miss
Callahan, they exhibit finish, taste
and a perfect knowledge of their
art. It is possible to be eccentric
and artistic at the same time, and
this pair of young men have the
Maude Eburne adds a bit of ex
aggerated grotesquerie in her char
acter of vampire that is amusing be
cause of the artless sincerity with
which she invests her most ludicrous
doings. The chorus is numerous
and comely and is exhibited in a
wide variety of costumes, move
ments, dances and groupings to the
end that a succession of pretty pic
tures passes over the stage as the
action unfolds. It would be a pleas
ure to dwell in detail on the various
attractive features of "The Canary,"
each individual in its appeal, but it
will be more pleasure to see them
than to read about them. The com
pany, which came on a special train
from Milwaukee in order to open
here last night, will be at the Bran
deis until after Thursday, and it is
most confidently commended to any
who are in search of real amuse
ment Will M. Cressy and Blanche
Dayne head one of the best vaude
ville programs of the season at the
Orpheum this week. In its diversity
of features and uniformity of merit
the bill stands out as one of par
excellence. The opening and closing
acts were accorded encores and
there were encores between. .
This is the first appearance of
Cressy and Dayne in Omaha since
they were overseas as members of
the American "Over There" Theater
league, entertaining the boys of the
A. E. F. They were given a hearty
welcome home yesterday by Or
pheumites. Mr. Cressy and his
talented wile, assisted Dy miss
Marion Hodges, are offering during
the present engagement Mr. Cressy's
latest ac, "The Man Who Butted
In." beine replete with quaint
humor which is characteristic of the
Cressy skits. Mr. Cressy arouses the
risibilities by his role of an old
school country merchant who never
struck a cash balance in 30 years,
but 'who has acquired some hard-and-fast
ideas about business
rectitude. Mr. Cressy reappears
later in the bill in the uniform he
wore overseas, giving an interesting
monologue in which he relates gay
and grave experiences and incidents
while entertaining the Yanks. He
closes his monologue by reciting his
own poem, "The Boys You've Left
Behind."
The Four Readings, acrobats of
exceptional ability, yesterday won an
encore, which is rarely bestowed
upon an act of this kind. Nat

Was Almost Helpless for Over
a Year Quickly Restored
, to Health.
"I was almost helpless with rheu
matism when I began taking Tan
lac, but now I haven't an ache nor
pain of any kind and have gained
twenty-one pounds in weight," said
Miss Lily Minor Pecor, 93 West
Tenth St., St. Paul, Minn., who has
been a teacher in and about the city
for eighteen years, in a statement
the other day.
"I suffered with rheumatism so
bad that I have been able to get
out of the house only three times
during the past year," she contin
ued. "I was almost helpless, for I
was confined to my bed for weeka
at a time and I was simply in mis-
ery from morning till night The
pains in my back felt like a Knife
cutting; my joints were stiff and
my mnscles were drawn and swol
len. My appetite left me and my.
stomach was so badly upset that
Lwhat little I ate caused severe pains .
in my sides and around my heart.
My nerves were in an awful condi
tion and I lost weight until I was
so weak I could not stand up at
times.
. "My next door neighbor advised :
me to try Tanlac, and since it has
done so much for me I will always
be grateful to her for telling me
about it. The rheumatism began
leaving me right after I started
taking Tanlac and now it has com
pletely disappeared. The pains in
my back and sides and around my
heart have also left me. My appe
tite was never better and I can ",
eat just anything I want without
suffering any bad effects. I am not
nervous or restless and am sleeping
soundly every night. I have not v
felt so well and strong in years and
it is a real pleasure for me to ree
ommendthe medicine that did it
all." , '
