New Credit Piling Up.
The balance of trade in favor of
the United States represents a con
tinuou credit piled ud in foreiai
countries to the order of American
manufacturer, fanner and export
er. That item alone represents i
loan that totals many millions at any
given time. Although foreign buy
ers are continually making promises
to cut down 'their indebtedness, new
credit are being piled up on new
business.
The billions, more or less, per ma
. nently invested in foreign countries
place the United States in an ad
vantageou position to increase its
export trade. Foreign purchases
flow to the country which loans its

There is no doubt that Omaha is

Add New Classes.
All the courses now taught in
the Commercial High school will be
given in the new institution, and
more. Courses will be given in ma

Accommodate 3,000 Pupils.
The buildintf will be perfectly
equipped to receive and train 3,000
boys and girls in bread and butter

features will be available for other
community purposes. The audi-
torrtim. with a seating capacity of
2.700. will be open for public meet

picture apparatus. On the top will
be a cafeteria to feed the pupils, and
another smaller one in which the
girls will practice. Some income may
be made from dinners held here. The
main cafeteria joins the library, and
will be used when needed as a read

Two ffvmnasiums. one for boys
and the other for gjrls, may also be

Soviet Delegates
Given Elaborate
Welcome in Berlin
Many Uundreda Gather at
Railway Station for Glimpse
of Russian Members of
Genoa Conference.
Berlin, April 2 Not since the
halcyon days of the empire, when it
was customary to surround the r
rival and departure of visiting
ItOtcntates or the coming and going
of the emperor with precautionary
military or police measures, has a
Berlin railway station been the scene
of such an elaborate detail of aimed
protection as that mobilised yetlrr
day for the benriit of soviet Rus
sia's delegation to the Genoa con
ference. Despite attempt to conceal hour
and place of arrival, a crowd of
many hundreds was waiting to get a
close view of the Russians. On the
station platform a score of plain
clothes men psrrd up and down,
nervously clutching revolvers tucked
away in their overcoat jwukett as
they mingled with the small group
of privileged persons who were per
mitted near the special car on which
the Moscow delegates traveled from
Riga.
George Chilcherin, the bolshevik
foreign minister, who was received
by Baron Von Maltien, chief of the
Russian section of the German for
eign office, was the first to leave the
station
Maxim Litvinoff and
Adolph Joffe followed a few minutes
later.
Extreme Simplicity.
The appearance of the deleaates
hardly indicated that they are head
ing for a formal conference with the
diplomats of western Europe. Their
hand luggage also suggested cou-
fl?rmity with rigid communistic sim
phcity.
M Chilcherin and others of the
Ru"' delegates seemed especially
Kra,'fied with the results of the pre-
Jioa conierence neia at Kiga, at
which soviet Russia, Poland. Es-
thonia and Latvia signed a protocol
pledging themselves to a limitation
ln lne number of border guards, and
for further discussions at Genoa of
plans necessary to make a recur
rence of war activities in eastern Eu
rope impossible.

other questions of great importance

H""on, many times the guest of

None was there but whom Uncle

is West Virginia.
Kansas Men Idle.
Reports from Kansa were that
the miners were idle. The order of
the state industrial court extending
the old wage contract 30 day did
not prevent the men from quitting
work. 1 he court let it be known
that it will not hold idleness of the
men a violation ot the court order,
unless the men refuse to start work
after coal now accumulated in yards
and on sidetracks runs out.
Estimates are that about 20,000
railroad workers will be laid off by
eastern coal roads next week due to
the close down.
E. H. Fitzgerald, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steam

Public Ownership Hinted.
Wachtngton, April 2 The coal
strike may force the public to try
the experiment of public ownership
of the mines, in the opinion of Sena
tor Borah of Idaho, chairman of the
senate committee on labor, unless
the whole coal industry is speedily
reorganized in the interest of the
public.
Senator Borah declared that the
strike will force a reckoning, not
alone between the operators and the
miners, but between the coal indus
try and the public. The authority
can not continue under its present
system ot operation and manage
ment, he said.
Before the house investigating
committee, predictions of a speedy
settlement of the strike throueh
state agreements

between opera-
were made by
A. M. Offle. an Indianaoolis narra
tor and vice president of the Na

that the public need have no fear
of inconvenience.

Cincinnati. Aoril 2. That finan

announced at international headquar
ters of the Brotherhood of Railway

A statement published in Dart de
clared :
We feel that in the event the
miners are defeated in their struggle,
the railroad workers will be the next
object of attack, and that they will
be forced out on what will be called
a strike but which in reality will be
lockout.
"It was because of this that the
alliance was entered into last Feb
ruary between the miners and the
railroad brotherhoods. Full support
consistent with our constitutions
and laws will 1e accorded the miners
as we, in common with all trades
unionists, recognize their fight as
ours.'

Berlin. April 2. Because of oro-

tacked by the priesthood as being

Although the finance committee
