"There were eieht in the oartv which left New York last August,' he said, "under instructions to travel through China to make the most thorough survey possible in ad vance of expenditure of a special building up Chinese missions.

Xew York Tlnien- liieajii Tribune, ( able, uopyrigni, jujii. Berlin, March 25. "Bolshevism is a rampant danger everywhere," said Count Von Lersner, who signed the peace treaty for Germany, Thursday. "Belgium will be the first victim. England and Italy al ready are threatened, and France is not immune, although the French think they are. "To combat bolshevism we need a revision of the treaty. The territor ies seized by the allies must return to Germany. The military clauses are ridiculous. One hundred thou sand troops are insufficient for Prus sia or Bavaria alone to preserve or der. . Reparation Too Large. "Economically the demand for material must be reduced. The rep arations figure must be cut down. Former Minister of Finance Klotz estimated the French share of the reparations should be 476.000.000.U00 marks. Yet an expert in statistics before the war estimated the German nation's wealth, with the territory included which the treaty takes away, at 370,000,000,000 marks. "The aliies must realize the grav ity of the situation ano must realize they equally are affected, if bol shevism sweeps Germany. Radical revisions are necessary immediately before it is too late. Once bol shevism seizes Germany the treaty becomes a scrap of paper. It is to the interest of Germany, Europe, yes, the United States, too the whole world that the treaty be re vised and saner conditions substi tuted before June 1. "It is impossible to make Ger many pay all. Armies' Living on Germany. "Credits from the entente will help temporarily. But workmen cannot produce when the products are seized by the entente. The oc cupational armies on the Rhine are living on starving Germany and using too mucli foodstuff Think what the entente is taking from Germany in coal, dyestuffs, rolling stock and cables. The allies' reser vations permit a renewal of the eco nomic blockade whenever they wish. "The treaty makes the league of nations a league to protect the mem bers of the entente and to perpetu ate their power. It is really a league of nations against Germany." Eyes of Nation Upon Nebraska s Aftitude (Continued Front First Face.) fidence in and devotion to a Ne braskan whose career of achieve ment has brought to it both honor and distinction for which other states, with much less claim, have been proud to contend. Until within the last few days Pershing's, friends and admirers have been handicapped by uncer tainty as to the attitude of the gen eral respecting the presidency. His repeated declarations that he was not a candidate and w:ould not seek the office naturally embarrassed those who would otherwise have been enthusiastically advocating his selection. While there has been more or less spontaneous urging of the general's qualifications, at no time has it amounted to a definitely organized or ordered movement such as has been conducted in Ne braska by those with whom he will contend at the primaries. With this uncertainty now re moved by positive assurances that Pershing will respond if called, the situation is at once clarified. From now on the friends and admirers of the Nebraskan may be expected to encourage and consolidate Pershing sentiment into cohesive and virile force that will eather impetus as v April 20 approaches. lliicugo J'ribune-Onialiil Bee Leufied Wire. Chicago, March 25 J. C. Brock, house detective at the Hotel Mor rison, heard a man call a woman "sweetheart." Right away he knew they could not be man and wife so he burst into their room, ordered them to dress and get out of the hotel. For that performance a jury in the federal court ordered the hotel to pay Mr. and Mrs. Cassius C. Smiley of Indianapolis, $9,000. Mr. Smiley holds an important position with the Diamond Match Company and Mrs. Smiley is pro prietor of a millinery establishment in Indianapolis.- They had just ar rived at the Alorrison and Mr. Smiley wanted his clothes pressed. He rang for a bell boy, meanwhile removing his clothing. Some one tapped at the door and Mr. Smiley opened it, thinking; it was the boy calling for his cloth ing. No one was m sight and as he closed the door, he said to his wife, "that was a false alarm, sweet heart." The house detective, lurk ing in the corridor, heard the re mark and forthwith burst into the room. Mrs. Smiley was preparing to retire and fled into a closet, but the detective pulled open the door, despite her protest, and ordered the couple to dress and depart, not withstanding their offer to produce credentials and the fact they were properly registered. Returning to Indianapolis. Mr. Smiley began suit in thfc United States district court for $25,000 damages, but the jury cut this down to $9,000.

"WHAT IS TERSONAL LIBERTY T' T'i too deep for me ok MANY WOMEN MAY LOSE VOTE FOR PRESIDENCY May Not Get to Polls This Year Unless. Change Made In Registration Laws De spite Ratification. Washington, March 25. Women in several states may be denied a vote in the coming presidential elec tion despite ratification of the suf frage amendment before November, it is said at the headquarters of the national woman's party here, unless changes are made in registration laws. In order that women all ewer the United States may register for the coming November election under ex isting Taws, ratification must be com pleted before May 1, 1920, on which date Georgia closes its registration. Excluding Georgia, the next date js June 30, when registration closes in Rhode Island. Registration in all other states does not close' until September or October, by which time suffrage leaders are confident the amendment will be ratified. Other requirements, however, be sides the element of time may nulli fy the women's vote next November in certain of the states, especially in the south, unless the legislatures are willing to make necessary changes in the laws. Payment of a poll tax is required in seyen of the states; in Florida and Louisiana payment is required for two years previous. Texas law calls for the payment of a poll tax on January 1, Alabama and Mississippi on February 1 and North Carolina and South Carolina on May 1. Pressure will be brought to bear upon the legislatures where neces sary, to have registration re-opened and the laws modified, it is said here, nut women political leaders hope the changes will be accomplished without difficulty. In states where women have not heretofore been given the privilege of fulfilling the necessary requirements, provision should be made for them to go to the polls this November if the amendment is ratified in time, they assert. No opposition to the operation of the suffrage f.mendment in strong ly anti-suffrage states, similar to tactics employed in. the south to limit the negro vote after the pas sage of the 15th amendment, is considered likely by suffragists here. Hoke Smith Announces Candidacy for President Atlanta, Ga., March 25. Formally announcing his candidacy for the democratic nomination for president in the Georgia primary April 20, Senator Hoke Smith declared he was "unalterably opposed" to the democratic party committing itself to. a national campaign on the proposition that the league of na tions should have been ratified by the senate without any change. Belgium to Take Hand In German Revolution (Continued From First Pace.) chapter in the history of labor's pro test against Dr. Wolfgang Kapp's attempt to establish a reactionary government. Workmen Walk Out. When the news of the military coup at Berlin was received the workmen here, as elsewhere, im mediately struck. Statements ob tained from both siles, substantial ly agree that this is what then hap pened. The workmen offered to co-operate with the police too guard the city and posted notices that looters would be shot. They then consulted the major commanding the garrison. He declared that the soldjers would support Kapp and proclaimed mar tial law. He sent to Erfurt, a few miles distant, where- 2,000 troops were stationed, for reinforcements. The workmen from the munition plants in the outskirts of the city began to converge on Gotha, having seized quantities of arms and several armored cars. The forces engaged in fighting after the workmen had killed two soldiers whe inter fered with a boy tearing down the martial law proclamation. Small Garrison Repelled The workmen lacked organiza tion, but were strong enough to ex pel the small a garrison. According to one of their leaders, they real ized that they would be unable to resist successfully a massed attack by the soldiers coming in from Erfurt, and yielded in order to avoid further bloodshed. Their opponents admit that the workmen did not attempt to inter fere with the municipal authorities or establish a government of their own. Considerable fighting has occurred at Naumberg, where the strikers en trenched themselves in the fortress from which they were dislodged only after the garrison had been re inforced by troops from Weimar. Historical old Weimar itself did not escape the disorders. Several workmen were killed, but there was little property damage. All is quiet there now. Removes American Flag. The large numbers of troops at Erfurt prevented an outbreak there. When the patrol in the outskirts of Erfurt halted The Associated Press car for an inspection of credentials a .Prussian ofheer, observing a small American flag on the radiator, ex claimed: "You are in Germany now, not in America." He clucked the flag out, handed it to the chauffeur and stalked angrily away. Although almost every industrial town in Germany has witnessed dis turbances, there is no doubt that the reports sent out have been grossly exaggerated with regard to loss of life and property damage. This is particularly true of Halle. The students of the university there joined the troops. The workmen were surrounded and corraled in a quarter near the center of the town. The soldiers trained mine throw ers on the buildings where the strik ers had taken refuge, but with the exception of those houses and a few others in the line of the ma chine gun fire the city suffered little damage. There were probably no more than 100 casualties. mi The Highest Class Talking Machine in the World TMC INSTRUMENT OF QUALITY onvnti CLEAR AS A BCLL Do you know that Sonora's1 mo for is , unrivalled, being extra -powerful, sturdy, silent, and playing from 15 to 45 minutes with one winding?
