THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY, OCTOBER 11 1920. Wilson Followed Suggestions of ' Taft Qn League Cox Makes Public Correspond dence Between Preisdent and Ex-President During. Draft ing of Covenant. Springfield. III., Oct. 10. Cable ' correspondence between President Wilson and former President Taft in 1919, during drafting of tl:e league of nations covenant at Faris, was l r democratic presidential candidate, to- trtir until n ctarnipnr nv inp can v didate criticising Senator kodge of Massachusetts and other league op nonents. Mr. Taft. the correspondence de tailed, isoueht and had cable conv munieation with President Wilson, submitting numerous suggestions for changes in the tentative league oratt and advising the president regarding ' its presentation to the senate. Governor Cox, who is here to be gin a short trip tomorrow through southern Illinois and to St. Louis, said that he published the Taft-WU-son correspondence a White House memorandum weeause of "the equi vocal position ex-President laft and . other friends of the leagrre now oc cupy in their support of the candi date of the league destructionists." The correspondence, Governor Cox said, was initiated by him (Mr. Taft) as a result of his study of the draft agreement." and quoted , Mr. Taft's "own words when sincerity of , mind and intelligence were not he clouded by the partisan prejudice of a political campaign." Taft Stio-ceatlnna VnitawerL The ,White House memorandum, ' containing some of the cables ex chaneed dv President .Wilson and "Mr. fTaft, stated that in "every in stance," the president followed Mr. Taft"s suggestions, and Governor Cox's statement declared that "every suggestion of Mr. Taft was followed literally." The correspondence in dicated that Mr. Taft's suirtrestions x dealt principally with protecting the Monroe doctrine and dealing with American domestic, questions, with drawal from the league, unanimous league decisions and disarmament. The final cablegram from Mr. Taft, sent to Secretary Tunrulty and forwarded to the president as given m published correspondence, was dated June 28, 1919, just before the president returned to present the treaty to the senate. It read: i"I would like to send a return mes sage and that is that the president argue for the league and its neces sity; j the impossibility q secure - peace, without it; the dreadful un rest in Europe, the pressure of our allies to ratify and secure peace at once, the heed ot the league with the United States to stabilize and ' to resist bolshevism, the , necessity for renewal of negotiations if4.ao impor , -tant amendment like striking out ar ticle 10 is made, the absurdity of a congressional declaration - of peace on one side, the giving up of all ob jects of the war in such a peace if Germany were to make . a similar declaration. I hope sincerely he will not attack the republican senators. .His appeal 'will be much more in fluential if he pleads his cause and does not attack the opposition." ( Sends Personal Message. On March 16, 1919, the corre- spondence showed, Secretary Tumul- ty sent the president a message stating that Mr. Taft desired to cable the president direct with sug gestions not looking to change "the structure of the league, the plan of action or its real character, but simp ly removing objections in. minds of conscientious Americans which its language does not justify and whose fears could be removed without any considerable change of laiguage." , The reply given by President Wil 1 son gi'td he would "appreciate Mr. Taft's offer of suggestions and wel come them." ,On March 18, the correspondence showed, Mr. Taft cabled a reserva tion for the Monroe doctrine, stating that it "alone would probably carry the treaty, but others would make it certain." Mr. Taft's detailed sug gestions were: ' ' "If you bring back the treaty with the league of nations in it, make more specific reservation of thl Mnnrne doctrine, fix a. term for du- . ration of the league and the limit of armament, require expressly unan imity of action in executive council and body of delegates and add to article la a provision that where the 'executive council of the body of delegates finds the difference to grow out of an exclusively - demo cratic policy, and it shall recommend r nlement. the ornunrl will 1 be nMmnl.t.lv fM frrtm ti ti fl P r iht Aft. ponents of the league in the senate." T . , 1 . 1 . 1 . in maKing puonc ine correspond ence Governor Cox's statement said , that time had arrived "to bring be fore the American jury the recorded evidence that the league is the com posite thought of the leading states men of the world," and that it "in corporated all the suggestions that were honestly offered by leading United States citizens." , . t Walter S. -Whitten has present ed the university library with an original "Bryan cartoon" by Car toonist "Ding." of the Des Moines Register.

The phrase "Safety First" was un known then, tut . its principle was well understood. Almost every knight had enemies, who lurked in the shadows, wafting for an opportunity to catch him off. his guard, 'and armor Was the only recognized form of life insur ance. , . ' ' When , iij the presence .of his friends, however. the knight would remove hio helmet and bare his head, thus signifying his belief that he was safe. The helmet would be placed upon the table or held under the arm, ready to be instantly clapped in to place at the first hint of dan ger. The wearing of armor passed away with the invention of gunpowder, but - the practice of raising the hat the successor to the helmet remained. At first it was retained, as a mark of respect to either sex, just as men now remove their hats in the presence of royalty or when the flag (the symbol of authority and love of country) is passing by. Gradually, however, its use was reserved as a salutation from men to their friends of the opposite sex, thus again return ing to the days of jchivalry and the age of romance.

Holding a Husband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelation of a Wife What Rita Brown Demanded and Madge Tried to Avoid. Rita Brown stood still for a long minute, palpably uncertain how to treat my invitation to a cup of tea. And, while outwardly I appeared simply to be waiting her answer to my .question as to the number of lumps of sugar she wished in her teacup, inwardly I was uneasy as to what she mtetfded to do. That her tempestuous, undisciplined na ture was" as apt to prompt her to throw a teacup at mv head as to do anything else, I well knew, I was re lieved when she sullenly muttered, "Two, please," and ' seated herself on the other side of the tea wagon. "And you take lemon, that I know," I responded in the most matter-of-fa"ct ttone possible, "but I had forgotten about the sugar." I put a slice of lemon in one of Betty Kane's dainty teacups, de posited two lumps of sugar upon it, then poured in the steaming fragrant tea, and passed the cud to Rita. She took it, still with the same sulky air. I prepared another one for myself, and began to sip it as slowlv and aooreciativelv as if T had nothing else in the world on my mind. Awaiting Combat. "I "can recommend' these' little rusk and cakes," I said, airily. "They are Betty Kane's, best, and I fancy that is the last word." She took one of the little rusk from the plate I held out for her, munched it with the same sulky, protesting air. I saw that she was puzzled by my nonchalant attitude, dui i also knew that her shrewd, brilliant brain was at .work behind her sullen face. That she would hot be content much longer to sip tea, I knew very well and marshalled my own forces for the verbal combat which I meant to make her open. I drained my own cup poised the teapot tentatively. "Another cup?" I said, persuasively. She set her cup down with a force which made me apprehensive for the safety of the delicate piece of china. Rita saw my quick glance, and laughed sardonically.. "I shan't break anything unless it s over your head," she said. Then she sprang up, towering over me. "Enough of this tomfoolery!" she exclaimed. "You didn't send for me to feed me pap .out of a bottle, so get down to cases. What do you want?" She had made no reference to the name Lichnowsky, which I had ut tered over the telephone the nam" which had been the talisman to bring ner to meet me and 1 determined that I would not refer to it vet. I would state -my terms to her. She might be willing to accept thm without further proof of the rod I held in pickle for her. , Rita Stands at Bay. "Just a minute" I said quietly. I, too, rose, and pushed the tea wagon to the kitchen door,- knocked, and on Miss Kane's response, pushed the tea wagon into the kitch en, then closed the door again and came back to Rita Brown, i The minute gave me time to gather to gether the words T meant to speak, and added to the suspense under which I knew she ywas laboring. "What I expect of you Is this." I said slowly. "I expect you 'to come with me at once to Leila, and iu mv presence confass to her that every thing you told hef. aljout Alfred Durkee are the base lies you know them to be. You are to mak it so strong that she will believe the truth as readily as she did the falsehoods, and then you are to make some excuse to go back to New York at once and stay there. i She threw up her head, glared at me as if my eye were a basilisk's as, indeed it probably was to her then spat out her answer: "II Do that I Like hell I will!" She began to pace the floor with the sinuous motion lof a, tigress. I leaned back; cooly watching her. I could afford to be cool, for I knew I held in my hand the weapon which would.bring her .to obedience. I also felt, that she suspected it, but that she was not sure of how much I knew. , "You are mistaken," I drawled slowly at last. "The place vou mention will only 'open .for you if you. don't do the things I have asked." She whirled on me furiously. , "Stop this "stalling and get down to husiness!" she snarled. "You sooke a name over the telephone which I suppose is the reason for all this crust you're wearing, but you can bet I don't bid till all the cards are on the table, so spill what vou know. x I leaned forward and spoke earnestly, for I had a sudden dis inclination to give utterance to the sordid things I knew. "I warn you that it will be most unpleasant both for you and for me to tell you these things. Wont you take mv word that I' know your early history and your true name?" ' (Continued Tomorrow.)

A Mr. Crow's Fault. On the second day of his visit, Paddy Muskrat's cousin Josiah be gan to complain that there wasn t enough food. "I find myself growing weak," he said "And if , I get top weak, of "You cejftainlg did!': Paddy Muskrat told tairj.' course I shall not be able to make the long journey home again." When are vou planning to eo?" Mrs. Paddy inquired quickly. - About the time the fall rains be gin, Cousin Josiah told her. Quick! Paddv Muskrat cried. "Bring some water! She has fainted!", It was true. Mrs. Paddy had fall en upon the floor in a faint. You see . the fall rains were a tone wkv off. And the mere thought of hav- those 14 people in her house all that time was a little more than she could bear. ' . Cousin Josiah brought some wa ter. And soon Ms. Paddy opened rer eyes again. Shes growmer weak, too, said Cousin Josiah. "It's just as I told you, he declared, turning to Faddy Muskrat. You don t bring home CUGcgh food." ' Faddy began to lose his temper. 'Then you had better hc!;j me," he suggested. Cousin Josiah yawned. "I'm altogether too sleenv to helo you today," he answered. And he vent into his bedroom. "How's your brother Ben?'.' .Paddy asked his cousin the next day. Josiah Muskrat's mouth 'was so full of food that he could not an swer for - a few moments., .But at last he said: "I haven't any brother named Ben." . Paddy Muskrat looked surprised. "How's Uncle Simon?" he in quired. "I don't know what you're talking about," Cousin Josiah snapped. He w&s annoyed because he had to talk for in Oirder to talk he had to stop eating. 1 "Why, my Uncle Simon is 4your lather! jracicly MUSKrat cxciaimea. "You're mistaken," said Cousin Josiah.'

But the fat gentleman did not an swer. He had already run out of the house, followed by his wife and chil dren. Afterward, old Mr. Crow admitted that he might have made a mistake.
