"M?n will have to hustle not to be outstripped by women in the race for intelligent citizenship," Prof. H. C. Meyerhdlz, teacher of American government and economics at the Iowa State Teachers' cpllege of Cedar Falls, declared yesterday in a lecture on "The Political Party" given .in the council chamber of the city hall. The address was th fiVst of a series for the political education of women held under the auspices of Omaha School Forum, It was well attended. "There never was a time' . in American history when the neces sity of teaching children the prin ciples of American government was as imperative as now," Mr. Meyer holz said. "The republican form of govern ment can never attain, its highest ideals nnless we have, participation in politics b'men and women thor oughly grounded in the principles of that republican government." i Mr. Meyerholz. jasserted that the political party was an absolute necessity in order to give expression to the principles 'of voters , and to elect m?n in office who would carry out their wishes. 'VVe have party government." he declared, "not a government of in dividuals. The party is held re sponsible not the man." Mr. Meyerholz said that only two parties could successfully operate at one time that a third party must inevitably be a reform party which, when it had accomplished its pur pose and its principle been ab sorbed by the big-parties, was al ways allowed to die." .

N By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Washington, April 1 7. While the senate investigating committee was listening to an exposition by Henry l-ane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico, of the tragic cost of the ad ministration Mexican policy in American blood and treasure a move by Carranza to involve the "United States in the Mexican rebellion transpired. . " Former Ambassador Wilson sub mitted to the senate committee the following: statement illuminating: the administration's Mexican policy: Six hundred and sixty-five Ameri cans murdered in Mexico or along the border. i No Mexicans punished for these murders. Half a billion dollars spent by the American government to prevent the Carranza government from be ing overturned. ' . Three hundred thousand Mexicans killed. j One hundred thousand Mexicans died of disease and pestilence direct ly due.(to the prevailing chaos. One million dollars which Diaz left in the treasurv disappeared and in its place a $350,000,000 deficit now exists. Tnree thousand six hundred churches desecrated. One thousand five hundred clergy expelled. Three hundred and sixty-five nun neries . desecrated under circum stances not fit to print. Eighty thousand American troops being held on the border at a cost ot over siuu,wu,uUO a year to tne people of the United States. "All this has been rendered neces sary," said Mr. Wilson, "by the policy of the administration to main tain Carranza in power and 'main tain the legend that peace and order prevail uj Mexico or confess com plete failure in dealing with Mexican question." .

PARTY OF NOTED RUSSIANS FOUND DEAD ON YACHT Discovery' of 11 Bodies on Vessel' Stranded at Mouth of Danube, Puzzling Rou manian Authorities. Bucharest, April 16. The discov ery of the yacht Ostara, stranded at Sulina, on one of the mouths of the Danube, of th$ bodies of 11 noted Russia men and women, each shot through the head, and not a living soul on board has presented to the Roumanian authorities one of the most mysterious tragedies of bol shevism in the Black sea. The bodies have been identified as those of members of the noted Russian families of Falzfein and Skadowski. ' On board the yacht were 14,000, 000 rubles in gold and. paper and jewels. May Have Been Suicide. x , The elder Falzfein still grasped a pistol in his hand when his body was found, and whether the party committed suicide or weremurdered is a question that remains unan swered. An investigation'is being made by the Roumanian authorities, aided by Russian friends of the two families. All that is known is that, the two families fled from their estates to Odessa, and when the bolsheviki arrived there in February, put their belongings on board the yacht, which was then towed by a Russian steamer bound for Constanza. The tow ropes broke several times, owing to severe storms, and finally the yacht lost the steamer altogether and proceeded to Constanza. The ref ugees were refused permission to land. It is believe1, as a result of the investigation so far made, that after tne yacni iosi us iow u unucu i the mercy of the storm and the refu gees, six men and five women, be came exhausted from the cold waves breaking over the vessel, and lack of food. Unable to manage j the yacht, the party made a despairing etfort to put her ashore on the deso late beach near Suliue. There they succeeded in launching small boats, but Roumanian guards, under strict orders to permit no landing through fear of the bolsheviki, ordered them to return to the vessel It appears that some coast fisher men ottered a rescue when the ves sel began settling, owing to the con sequent pounding of the heavy seas, but soldiers prevented. How the families met their death prob ably never will be known. Some money and valuables were missing when the valuables the refugees had on board were checked up and Rou mania has been asked to attempt to recover them. King Ferdinand and Queen. Mary of Koumania have taken a great in terest in the investigation because when the royal family was driven into exile and the capitol removed to Jassy, the king and queen were offered the magnificent home of the Fajzfeins across . the Bessarabian border. ; !

' The custom-styled body of the National Sextet overlaps the chassis frameinstcad of sit ting on . top of it, as has been the common practice since automo biles were first btrilt. The exceptionally deep body sides are brought 3 H inches closer to the ground. They descend, without a break, to within a scant two inches of the running board. The high and ungainly running board apron, common to other makes of . cars, is replaced by a trim and slender valance. Thus, a smart, low-hong appearance, un matched by any other American automo bile, is gained without the sacrifice of road clearance or the acceptance of other com promises equally undesirable. Hrsd m,ym hwrm . Broad timbers, known as sills, form the foundation of every automobile body.. In other cars, these sills are laid flat In the National Sextet, they are set on edge for trebled strength. Thereby is afforded a support of unyield ing rigidity that eliminates the "weave" which imposes heavy strains on . bodyjoints and causes the squeaks, rattles and other noises that de velop under a method of body mounting less secure. Arrow-straighf lines, individual front fenders, a high and narrow radiator unmistakably National, and a flat upper body edge are only a few of the many striking style features that contribute so much to the charm and grace of this fine car. Yet the Sextet is more than a mere assembly of artisticdetails-Thebeauty 1 1 r 1 1 """If fit and style of this low, lithe car are achieved through correct and advanced design.
