THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY .18, Y1920. i:1 I 18 ft I if If t ; n ENGLAND FORCED ) TO KEEP ULSTER FOR PROTECTION Britain Supremacy of Sea Threatened Without Ireland. Duke of Northumberland Declares in Interview. London, July 17. Grave warning have bten uttered by Sir Edward Carson as to the World-wide plots against the British Empire. Sinn Feiners and radicals, he declared, organized these anti-British move ments from New York and the ramifications extended to Egypt, In dia and elsewhere. He insisted on the vital necessity of Ulster remaining loyal to the forces of the crown if the wor-i happened. A statement by the duke of Northumberland, who himself has had military experience in three wars, and has written much on Uratcgical questions, sets out the reasons which make Ulster of capi tal importance to England as a pos sible jumping off ground and salient against the extremist elements that might force an armed struggle against her. He also pays particular attention to the political influence of the Irish situation in America and he urges the British Empire to drop the league of nations. "With reference to Sir Edward Carson's statement in the House of Commons regarding the strategic importance of Ulster, it may be worth pointing out that the strategic aspect of the Irish question is gener ally overlooked," the statement de clares. "The strategic position of Ireland in regard to Great Britain is pre cisely the same - the strategic posi tion of Great 1. ' .;un in regard to northern Europe. "Owing to the geographical situ ation of the British Isles, lying as they do across the sea routes which lead to the Atlantic from northern France, Holland, Germany, Scandi navia and northern Russia, the com merce of these countries is at our mercy. Sea Rule at Stake. "That is why we have had to fight in the past "Holland, France and Germany for supremacy at sea. Jt is that geographical position which is responsible for the formation of the British Empire,' for its immense influence on the history of the world and the fact that our intervention m a European war has always proved decisive. , "Every disadvantage which north ern Europe suffers from the geo graphical position of the British islands,' we would suffer from the position of Ireland were it in other hands than ours. It lies across all our means of egress into the Atlantic." J ' Twice Wounded in War; Heroine Meets Death In Automobile Crash New York, July 'l7. "Lady," a tour-legged heroine of the Worid Wtr, twice wounded in action, met death here under the wheels of an automobile. Mascot of the 23d Infantry, Sec ond Division, "Lady," a Belgian po lice dog, was over the top with the famous regiment in the advance be tween Soissons and Chateau-Thierry, and was wounded. She recovered. Later, in another engagement, "Lady'- received a battle scar. ATter the victory the little canine heroine was brought home by t'.is company's bugler, Robert Fash. .An idol of the children of the neighborhood, "Lady" was "out" every day. She was pressed into ser vice by mothers who wanted babies watched while they went in stores and carried parcels for all the kiddies. Last Decoration Day with her master "Lady" visited thirty-nine cemeteries where soldiers of the World War are buried and tooK part n the exercises. Fash sounded 'laps." , , . , "Lady," not so nimble of foot b caure of her wounds, attempted to cross a crowded New York street. She was caught beneath the wheels . . of an automobile. . - f i The little pet was buried with miM . .afv honors. Omaha Restaurant Man Banishes Unrest By Making Employes Partners in Firm Louis Beatty Gives Bonus To Workers and Sees Them Hold Stock in Business-Plan Works. Y ) Ouija Never Fibs; Rosa Believed It; Now She s Out $850 Pittsburgh. July 17. "You, are about to suffer a great loss,', spelled out the ouija board under the op eration of Rosa Christy. Rosa believed it. Ouija hid nev er told her wrong. When fwo gypsies knocked at her door Rosa saw an opportunity of learning more about the ouiji -pmn A it.!- -i ! f-1 11 i. II ! J - tion the gypsies learned of the ouija ! message and also that Kova had ?850 in bank. She was told lhat some person had put a curse upon her and that if she would take the money from the bank they would remove the curse. While she went for the money ' the gypsies secured a bedtick and two pillow cases. Rosa was told to put the money in one of the pillow cases and to sleep on it that night. She did, but on arising the next morning the money was gone. The gypsies switched pillow cases. Ouija was right. DuUn Cops Always Alert Plenty of Work Dublin, July 17. Dublin informa tion shows that one man in every 10 in Dublin is "on the run" that is, he's wanted ty the police as an enemy of the government, ' y The most distinguished Irish "runner" is Michael Collins, minister of France in the Irish republican government, once an obscure civil servant in London. Sometimes in a Dublin restau rant or tavern a man will rise quick ly from a table aiid depart quickly, rit the back stairs. The reason is generally to be discovered in the en trance of a military-looiing persou with lajge feet. .u ... Thirty-two years ago a youn. man alighted from a cattle car at the South Side stock yards. He w:- -. of ' unkempt appearance havii traveled from a farm iu llinois a: earned his transportation by. earn: for a shipment of live stock ... route, iHe was destined for "ovr where the west begins," and affr finding his way uptown he decid i. to find a place where he could ri mailt-and grow up with tie town. Ik had $1.50 in working capital and intangible wealth of determination. He obtained a job as .waiter in lip oid One Minute restaurant, which was landmark on Farnam street. And the years went by in the whirli gig of time. Has Solved Problem. The real story of Louis R. Eeatty, however, is not that he has stuck to his job during all of these years and now has two restaurants of his own, but rather that in these days of social and economic unrest he has entered into the promised land where labor and capital dwell m peaceful relations. "Eureka!" lie exclaims, when re ferring to his plan of transforming oO employes into cheerful co-workers with him. He began the idea three months ago and has tested it beyond the experimental stage. He asserts that the underlying principle is ap plicable to any group of people work ing together under a system where one must necessarily be the boss. He is so enthusiastic over his plan that he wants to submit it to others, with his assurance that it is a great stabilizing influence. Gives Share of Profits. In the first place, as an incentive fcr efficient service, he offers to his co-workers a salary bonus of 20 per cent of the net profits. The bonus paid to each person is in that pro portion that his monthly pay is to the total of thf bonus for the month. Payment of the bonus 1s contingent on at least 30 days' service. A premium on punctuality is ac complished by imposing a forfeit of one week's bonus for being late and absence rrom duty without leave re sult3 in the forfeit of the bonus fot one month. Has Other Benefits. Nor is that all of it. Mr. Beatty has incorporated another feature which makes it possible for his co workers to further increase their earnings. He issues profit-sharing certificates whic'h may be of the amount of $50 or any multiple there of, but not exceed $2,000. These certificates may be issued to any co worker who has been in the service for-three months, and dividends are paid on the basis of the amount of the certificate and the capita! invest ment. Dividends are paid on the 10th of January, April, July and October. The first dividend was paid last week. How Plan Works. Mr. Beatty was asked for a typi cal illustration of how his bonus and profit-sharing plan works out in real practice. He referred to a coworker who is paid $36 per week as wages. He receives a bonus of about $30 a month, or possibly in excess of that amount. If he holds a certifi cate showing that he has $100 in vested m the business, he will re ceive about $10 per month in the form of a dividend, making a mini mum total of $196 per month. The most surprising feature, according to Mr. Beatty, was that for every $100 invested in the business the co worker receives a dividend of ap proximately $10 per month. Proud of Spirit Created, But these mere figures do not tel! ! e real human side of the story. II is the esprit du corps that is ob served in the Uneeda cafeteria on Sixteenth street and the Harmony cafeteria on Harney street, that "ap peals to the one who is searching for the panacea for industrial unrest. Mr. Beatty expressed it in these words: "Before I adopted this plan there was a feeling of jealousy' because 1 was the boss and my employes bought that I, was making too mu".h money. Now they are all co-workers in fact as well as in fancy and there is a better feeling. between my self and the workers and also be tween tli c coworkers themselves. They now realize that, faithful serv ice' means more earnings for all of tis. 'Ihere are .fewer broken dishes; They are more cheerful and patient with the public. They earn this extra money whiclv is divided as bonuses and profit-sharing; I am only the .general manager and that arrangement is satisfactory to all. Ten now do -the work that 12 did under the old plan. My worries have nearly all disappeared." Coworkers Have One. A committee of five advisers is appointed from the coworkers to i.ct. as arbitrators arid trustees for the purpose of adjusting all d! pntes that ' may arise.

Helm, a local shipping broker, is giving h;s friends. Helm was awarded the above amount some months ago against the American Hawaiian Steams! ip company for a breach of contract. He demanded a new trial recently, and the jury returned a verdict that he was - not entitled to anything. Prior to the United States euter iii!.'' the world war Helm entered into a contract to charter, the S. S. Floridan ' to carry a cargo of Ger man goods from the Orient to this port. The owners of the vessel de manded a bond of $525,000. Helm was ufiable to furnish this and the contract was canceled. Helm brotifht suit for $700,000.

Remembers the Dime Meals? Discussing present-day high prjees, Mr. Beatty harked hack to the old days when h operated an eating place at Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue where he made a specialty of 10-cent meals. At that time he served soup, meat, potatoes, bread, butter and coffee for one dime, and he would accept a thin dime, too. He stated that he bought potatoes in those days for 25 cents per bushel and received 48 loaves of bread for $1 at wholesale rates. He bought a quarter of beef for 4 to 44 cents per pound. "But that was long ago," he reminisced. Xew York, July 17. More than $31,000,000 has been expended in American Jewisl relief work in Eastern Europe and various 'war affected areas throughout the world since aid for Jewish war sufferers was organized shortly after the out break of the war, a report of the joint distibution committees shows. Most of the funds, which the com mittee spent in 33 countries and ter ritories, was raised by the American Jewish relief committee, of which ,ouis Marshall is chairman. Dur ing the past 18 niontl s, when the committee carried on nonsectarian campaigns throughout the United States, under the direction of Henry H. Rosenfelt, the first -time in the history of the Jewish people that they ever went outside their own race to ask for aid, over $16,000,000 was raised. Poland, together with' Lithuania and Courlaud, received almost half the appropriations, $14.784,l08.76. Palestine, with $4,345,337.38, and Russia, with $4,3JU,247.42, followed. In Austria, Hungary and (ialicia $3,325,819.53 was expended; in Greece, Turkev, Serbia and Syria $1,542.10.7'), "an din Rumania $l,218,150.8o. British "Wets" Abhor Prohibition Equally With Drunkenness London, July 17. Comic pictures of hard-bitten kilted Scots, deprived at length of their whisky, entraining for'"wct" points south of the border, are beginning to flood the illustrated weeklies. They reflect the national feeling that in the light to the death on prohibition which is now being waged in Scotland, whisky stands a good chance of receiving a knock out blow. This is why the anti-prohibition forces have reconsidered their posi tion and decided to improve their crude and often vulgar publicity campaign. They are now hitting with full force against drunkenness in a frantic effort to preserve women's votes for the cause of spirituous bev erages. "Britain free as well as sober" is their resounding retort to the dry gibes about the "Drunken Lion" being pecked to extinction by the "Sober Eagle." Naval Club Flies to Ball Game in Flock Of Fast Airplanes Pascagoula, Miss., July 17. Pas cagoula, shipbuilding town "out front," is small in area and popu lation, but is as progressive as a Xew York or Los Angeles. The shipbuilders' base ball team wanted to play ball the other day. They had a game scheduled with the Pensacola Naval Station club. The latter organization, missed the train and wired Pascagoula to that effect. "Whassa matter with you," tele phoned E. A. Chester, who learned a lot of things in the world war as a first sergeant (they all do). "Can't you spill some gas into the tanks of some of those idle buses over there and come on?" "Good idea,"- remarked the fly er's manager. An hour later the fans, waiting in Pascagoula park, saw several airplanes in the distance.
