According to one republican uitm Sr, the leaders have determined liat the country is opposed to cash ."onuses and it is believed that many rt those who supported such a Measure in the last session, will be " unwilling to do so in ' the coming C'lie. Country Against Plan. Those who have participated to ;ny great extent in the campaign fay that they find that the sentiment of the country is against cash bonuses, but favors the country do- iny everything passible in the wav of rehabilitation or vocational, train ing or wottnded soldiers. Representatives of the American Legion here, who have been active in the movement for Cash bonuses, i declined, to give an opinion as to what they though1, would happen in the next session of congress rela tive to such bonuses. They said that three of their strongest supporters. Representatives Swope ?f Kentucky, Caldwell of New York and Milligan of Missouri, had been defeated for re-election. Representative Bell, New York, one of the strongest opponents of cash bonuses, was defeated, but Rep resentative Fess, chairman of the re publican congressional committee, who was very pronouncedly against bonuses, was re-elected despite every effort by the proponents of, cash bonuses to defeat him. Count on Fordney. The American Legion is counting on Representative .Fordney, chair man of the ways and means com mittee, to lead the fight for bonuses in the next session as he did in the last. While three strong advocates of bonuses were defeated, it is point ed out by the bonus, mauars that . they gained nine ex-service men in the election, among them being Hamilton Fish, jr., of New York, and Lewis Fromingham of Massa chusetts. It is not known whether the nine veterans of the world war will support cash bonuses. Co-Operative Bodies Demand Membership In Grain Exchanges Chicago, Nov. 7. Request that the federal trade commission and the at torney general or other public au thority be called on to take neces sary steps to open grain exchanges , f the country to membership of co operative companies unless the ex changes act themselves, was made in ' a resolution adopted at an ex ecu tive session of the farmers mar keting committee. The resolutions f ollow : "Whereas, The principal grain ex changes of the United States bar co operative companies that distribute their i profits in proportion with the volume of business handled, from participating in the buying and sell ing of farm products; and whereas the same prevents, producers from collectively selling' their own pro ducts on the markets of the country, thereby creating a monopoly which is not in harmony with the spirit of American institutions; "Therefore, Be it resolved, that we call upon 4he federal trade1 com mission, the attorney general or other public authority to take such fteps as may be necessary to ooeu the said markets to the membership ot co-operative companies unless the grain exchanges shall voluntarily do the same at once."

New York Tlniea-Clil.airo Tribune Cahlf, I "P.vng-tH lHzu. Paris. Nov. 8. Andrie Tardieu in L'Excelsior, in an editorial describ ing the armistice negotiations, re veals that it was not President Wil son, CoUnel House, Gen. Bliss or Gen. Pershing who insisted that hos tilities should end as soon as Germany accepted the 14 points, but that Sir Douglas llaig, Mr. Lloyd George and Generalissimo Foch himself ar gued against the armistice terms be in made so harsh that the Germans might reject thenv Gen. Bliss, the article states, pro poseil that the armistice contain these two clauses total disarma nient and complete demobilization. . Gen. Foch objected bitterly when Admiral Jcllicoe insisted upon the surrender, ot me uernian ncet, as sertmg that this was only a sop to the public, and Mr. Lloyd George warned the naval members not to push Germany too far. "On October 23. 1918. President Wilson asked the allies first, if they should suspend or continue hostil ities; second, if an armistice seemed desirable, what conditions would be necessary to prevent Germany from renewing the war and to allow the allies to impose the peace terms," the article Continues. . Divergence Over Clauses. "Gen. Foch summoned Gen. Petain, Sir Douglas Haig and Gen; Per shing to Senlis on October 25, and asked them what they thought- of an armistice. No one proposed refusal of the German proposal, but diver gence was found over the clauses; Gen, Haig spoke first. 'It is ' necessary &p conclude an armisticenindcr the most moderate conditions," he.said. "The victorious allied armies are exhausted. Our various units must be reformed and Germany is not a broken military power. During the last few weeks their armies have retired in the best "of order, fighting bravely. "It we really want ah armistice, and we do, we must propose clauses Germany will accept, the evacuation of invaded France ad Belgium; re toration of Alsace Lorraine, and re stitution of destroyed rolling stock. If we demand more, we risk prolong ing the war, which already has been so costly, artd chance exasperating the German public opinion for a doubtful result. "Gen. rershing declared that he desired to listen to Gen. Petain before expressing his opinion. Urged Disarmament. "Thereupon Gen, Petain said: "'If we conclude an armistice there must be complete assurance that the enemy is prevented from recommenc ing: the -war. Ihe German army must return to Germany without a single caution or tank, with only their side arms. I suggest as a prac tical method to achieve this assur ance, the fixing of a short evacuation term to prevent the enemy from carting off war material ind a pro vision that the allies shall occupy the lert bank of the Rhine and a zone 50 kilometers deep on the right bank. At the same time we must demand the 5,000 locomotives and 100,000 freight cars. "These conditions are indispens able, but I doubt that Germany will accept them.' "Gen. PeYshing declared him self in accord with Gen. Petain. " "On the next day Gen. Foch wrote M. Clemenceau the definite conclusions. "Between October 23 and 26 the chiefs of the allies arrived in Paris, Col. House reinforcing Gen. Bliss, who was the American mem bee of the supreme war council. Demanded Fleet Surrender. "The Versailles conference did not find the conditions to be harsh enough. - The British demanded that the entire German high "seas fleet and all submarines be surrendered. "Colonel House asked General Foch: 'From the military point of view alone and regardless of all SeCOnd Pilot Offers Judge FostervChance To Ride in Airplane ) Police Judge Foster need not be disappointed after all. If he wants his air ride, promised 10 days ago by William Brooks, all he need to do is say the word.' Jack Atkinson, chief of the aerial police of Denver, will take the judge for a spin in the clouds he said yes terday afternoon. Atkinson, who is a former Omaha man, is visiting at 2612 North Nine teenth street. When he read ot the departure of Willliam Brooks, the flyef vho invited the police magis trate to take a ride when the avia tor faced "his honor" in police court on charges of reckless driving fol lowing a jazz-flight over the down town district, the Denver air police man issued an invitation for Foster to take a ride with him. Atkinson is a former army flyer. Since the war he has been doing commercial flying in Denver and lately he was appointed head of the Colorado city's aerial police. Increased Freight Rates Stop Lumber Importations Washington, Nov. 7. Recent in creases of 35 to 40 per cent in Cana dian railway freight rates has prac tically stopped lumber shipments from British Columbia to the United States, according to a report to the Department of Commerce, from Consul E. A. Wakefield at Prince Rupert. , During the last 12 mouths, the consul said, British Columbia ex ported 20,000,000 feet of spruce and 60,000,000 shingles td the United States, while the only lumber now being shipped was contracted for be fore.the rate advanced. Spruce mills are closing down tr curtailing opera tions, he added. other considerations, would you pre fer that Germany accept or reject this armistice?' "General Foch replied: 'We nuke war for desired results. If Ger many signs an armistice wherein the general condrtions are what we have determined upon, we will have ob-, taincd these results. Our aims be ing achieved, we have no right to shed another single drop of blood.' "General Foch opposed General Bliss and Mr. Lloyd George, 'who at first wished to add more demands to the original armistice. " 'To propose.! or to even impose demands on paper is the easiest thing in the world.' he said, 'but we now face the realities. It is a simple and logical demand for disarmament of the German army in the field, but hnv can we verify it?' ".T would like demobilization very "much, but do you want to oc cupy all Germany? If we don't oc cupy all German- territory, we shall never be sure . that demobilization really has been effective.' Heard Refusal. . " 'Why make the armistice harsh er 'when its sole object is to put Germany hors de combat? What will you do if Germany, after ac cepting the severe and sufficient con ditions I propose, refuse these new humiliations that you suggest? Will you risk a resumption of hostilities and the useless sacrifice of several thousand: Jives?' "Colonel House, Mr. Lloyd George and M. Clemenceau were disposed to insist upon the maximum if the military authorities believed, ; the maximum necessary, and demanded General Foch s opinion. "General Foch- replied: '"None can say positively. The war would endure three months, perhaps four or five. I can only say that the armistice conditions we have already drafted are those we should, and tould, impose-after the next offensive encratiohs, if they are successful. If Germany accepts now, it is useless to continue the battle. Lloyd George Interposes. "Despite General loch's protest, the naval members insisted that the German surface fleet be surrendered, but Lloyd George interposed and de manded that he naval experts take no chances of continuation of the war uselessly ins'stiiig upon hold ing up a decision until it became known if Austria ' had capitulated. Mr. Lloyd George said: "'We must ask ourselves if we want peace' immediately or wish to cortjnue the struggle for another year. It is tempting to contemplate taking a number of warships, but that is not the question. Each one of our armies is losimjiTirore - men weekly than it ever lost in any week throughout the four years of war.' "Mr. Lloyd George's reference to the tremendous allied losses in the closing months of the campaign was the first official confirmation of sim ilar reports. The apparent American prodigality in lives shown by ad vancing against machine guns, de spire fearful casualities, spurred on the French and British to arive home the advance, regardless of cost, in the same way. General Foch's ref erence to the fact that he would of fer the same armistice conditions if the next offensive proved successful, referred to the Luneville attack with 10 American divisions, which was scheduled to ba launched November 15." - Lincoln Girl Will Die From Injuries In Automobile Crash Lincoln, Nov. 7.

All Partisanship Is Gone BY PHILIP KINSLEY. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire. St. Louis, Nov. 7. Government by party, not for the sake of the party, but the wholi pcople.'was the prom ise made by Senator Harding Satur day in his brief talks made in a dozen station stops on the first day of his vacation trip from Marion to Point Isafeelle, Tex. "The election is over and we're no longer merely republicans and democrats, but all Americans," he said time after time. There was no trace of partisanship in his talks. He expressed happiness in his victory, but the undertone of all his remarks was a deadly serious conception of the immense task he has before htm. "While I have preached the gospel of party government," Senator Hard ing told crowds in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, that is government through the sponsorship of party. I may tell you now in the reflection and sober thought of the aftermath, that I do not want my party to be serving to keep itself in power or to perpetuate the place-holding of any members. I want my party to serve America for the American, people." v Greeted by Thongs. The first day's journey of the .president-elect was remindful of the crowded days of the campaign, yet with an interesting difference. There were the same throngs at the same railroad stations in the cities along the line of the Big Four railroad, the same eager rush to crowd around the platform of Senator Harding's private car. But the attitude of the people was obviously different. The old crowds looked on with an ap praising eye, weighing and studying tlie candidate, making up their minds whether they liked him or not. The new crowds had dropped the attitude of appraisal. They had accepted the man. Therefore, they were all his friends and well wisher and sup porters. They looked upan him as the president and they stood hat in hand, liking and confidence in their faces. They were not so noisy. They were a shade more respectful. ' Senator Hadme left Marion at 8 a. m. today in a special train of five cars. j V- Makes Short Talks. s 1 ; AV'ellefontaine. O.t'Union City, Muncic, Anderson, Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Ind.; Paris, Kansas, Charleston, Mattoon and other towns in Illinois, thousands were cathered at the railroad depots for a glimpse of the man who scored such a remarkable triumph last Tuesday. To most of these welcom- i i ; i. - i i ing crowus ai various ponus nc uiu somc-huig to say. The gist of his falks was: "I can understand why you come to see me. It is because the people in our America are interested in popular government, and when the people are interested in popular gov ernment you can be ' sure that we shall maintain it. We have just been through a national campaign. I am pretty well satisfied with the result, and 1 hope you are. May, more, 1 hope the great party for which I have spoken will not be a disap pointment to the people of America when we come into power on March 4.' We won our victory for repub lican policies and republican candi dates, but from this time on it is to be a victory for American policies and the American people. Speaks From Heart. "I like to tell you, because you know I am speaking from the heart and without a selfish interest in the world, it is going to be the aim of the incoming administration to strive always to understand the as pirations and the conscience of thej Americau people,' and put this un derstanding to effect in this repub lic." The special train reached this city ;-.t 7:30 p. m., after making many such brief pauses, all of which palp ably convinced the senator of the satisfaction of the people over his victory. He left St. Louis half an hour later over the Iron Mountain railroad &nd will pass through Lit tle Rock Ark., Texarkana, Pales tine and Austin, before reaching San Antonio late tomorrow night. He vill arrive at Brownsville, 20 miles from his vacation destination. Point ! Isabel, at 11:30 a. m. on Monday. Former Mexican General Held for Death of Madero Mexico City, Nov. 7.

Protest Is Made Against Plan for World Navy Trip Cruise Not Authorized by Con gress, Representative Blan ton of Texas Says, in Letter to Daniels. Chlcac Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Washington, Nov. 7. A protest agninst the plan of Secretary of tie Navy Daniels to send the navy on a tour around the world next June was made by Representative Blan ton of Texas, a democrat, in a let ter to the secretary,' As one lutmblc representative ot the people I hereby protest against this proposed junketing trip," said Representative Blanton. "Admiral Coontz advised me that he expects to defray the expenses out of the general blanket appropria tions. Congress has not authorized any such trip. In none of the ap propriations made did congress even contemplate such a trip. It is my belief that congress will not au thorize it. As one humble member 1 shall vote and vigorously fight against any appropriation proposed to pay for it. It is simply ridiculous. Would Require Much Fuel. "Naval statistics show that' it would require at least 70 per cent more coal and oil than ordinary to run these two fleets on such a cruise. Considering the present fuel situa tion, aside from the enormous ex pense which should not now' be in curred, it would be almost criminal just now to waste the hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil and tons of coar necessary to operate our two big fleets on such a jaunt. "There are now several thousand' households in Washington absolute ly without coai. and even when love and money will procure it, wc are now threatened with the price ot coal going to $20 a ton. A serious shortage of gasoline is also threat ened, with the price in some com munities ranging now as high as 40 cents per gallon. Both England and France have been depending largely upon us for coal. Shipping has been retarded in many ports fcr lack of coal. x People Tax-Burdened. "Our people are already tax-burdened. There is but one way to re duce taxes. We must quit spend ing. Our government has no money except what it takes from the people. As you well know, every time we spend public money our only way of providing it is to take it out oi the pockets of the people in taxation. It matters not whether it is taken directly or indirectly, after all it comes from the people. The people of the United States' who foot the bills have become tired of the waste and extravagance daily prevalent here in Washington. "Last Tuesday's election was not a repudiation of the democracy, or of a league of nations, but it was a repudiation of wanton extrava gance, high taxes and lawless an uirhy permitted by congress and for which republicans are tully a much if not more to blame, though the people have held us democrats responsible for it." "Workers' Republic Star in Political Heavens, Debs Says Chicago, Nov. 7i Establishment oi the "workers republic" in soviet Rjjssia is "a bright star in the po litical heavens and shall lUht the way of the world," Eugene V. Debs declared, in a message sent from Atlanta penitentiary to the Cook county organization of the social ist party, made public tonight. The message will be read at the cele bration tomorrow of the third anni versary of the Russian sowct rev olution by local Soviets. j Ames to Represent Palmer at Probe Former Assistant to Present Case for Defense at Indian apolis Federal Hearing. Washington, D. C, Nov. 7. At torney General Palmer announced that the Department of Justice would be represented by C. B. Ames, former assistant to the attor ney general,' at the inquiry Monday at Indianapolis , by Federal Judgo Anderson, into the attorney general's connection with the soft coal taes. The announcement followed a con ference between Mr. Palmer and members of his staff which lasted all afternoon and at which all data bearing on the coal cases were re vised. Tiie government is preenared, Mr. Palmer said, to proceed with the prosecution of the cases now pending before Judge Anderson. He made no direct reference, however, to Judge Anderson's proposed inquiry, al though the department's interest in the affair will be taken care of by Mr Ames. It was in connection with the con spiracy cases which are set for trial Monday and the resignation of Dan W. Simms, special prosecutor, that Judge Anderson determined to in stitute an investigation of reasons for the alleged "suppression" of evi dence which the government had against the defendants, Mr.- Palmer has stated on several occasions that he had instructed federal attorneys in the coal cases not to use the evi dence against the defendants which was used against them in the injunc tion proceedings during the bitumi nous strike last winter. , Convicted Attorney Of Omaha Is Granted Sixty-Day Reprieve Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7.

Harding Plans Budget System As First Move Measure May Be Passed by Senate Before Inauguration Of President-Elect Bill Now Pending. Chicago Trihuiie-Omaha Bee I-eaed Wire. Washington, NovN7. With the government likely to spend $4,000, OuO.000' or more' annually "fb'r'ycars to come, the working out of an effective budget system will be one of the first tasks of the Harding ad ministration. The bill establishing a budget system may be passed in advance of the inauguration of Sen ator Harding next March. In any event, the new president and his secretary of the treasury will have the responsibility of creating the proposed new budget bureau and making it an effective agency in the placing of government expenditures upon a scientific and business-like basis. The Good-McCormick budget bill is pending before the senate after having been passed by both houses last spring, vetoed by President Wil son and repassed by the house. As passed a second time by the house, a provision which the president ob jected to because he thought it en croached upon constitutional powers of the president with respect to the removal of officers appointed by him, was eliminated. If the bill is passed in advance of March 4 thete is little likelihood of organization of a bureau until aft er Senator Harding is inaugurated. The new administration is expect ed to get th; budget bureau in working order so that estimates may be submitted to congress its December, 1921, for appropriations for the fiscal vear beginning July 1. 1922. Already the house has adopted a change in rules that was intended to be supplemented to the budget bill. This change centers in the hands of the aopropriations commit tee, the authority to report appropri ations heretofore scattered among thi agricultural, foreign affairs, In dian affairs, military affairs, post office and post loads, and river and harbors committees. One large com mittee of 35 members will do the work which has been divided among eight committees. The change in the rules became effective on July 1 of this year and accordingly the appropriations for the next fis cal year, which are to be taken uo at the coming December session, will be handled under the new scheme.

Five policemen were shot, two of them so seriously that they are not expected to recov er, two shops were burned to the ground and several others were wrecked. All the property attacked ' belonged to Sinn Fciners. The attack on the policemen was directed against the officers wh' were guarding the customs house, and a brisk exchange of shots fol lowed.
