Reinforcements (or the Hritisli military force in northern Ireland poured into Belfast today and the intlux ti to continue all next week, according to present propect. Two transport arrived this morn ing from Birkenhead with the Scot tish borderer. The Manchester are ilue tomorrow from Guernsey, while the royal fitsillicrs and the Liverpool irgiment also arc coming. Air Service Represented. The most interesting arrivals were a party of 12 officers and '.'7 men of the royal air service. A Itowit.er b.ittcry also arrived th morning. Wholesale commandeering of ve hicles is going on, especially of motor lurries. Many motor boats are also being taken and officers have been inspecting other craft. The popular belief is that the military is to be used to clear the Rcllcek re gion evacuated by the Ulster forces recently of its republican occupants. Stirring events in this sector seemed to be presaged. Week-End Quiet in Belfast. The most important naval unit et sent :o northern waters is the flotilla trader, Wallace, sister ship of the I'.rooke. witii a speed of 3f knots. 'J lie Wallace reached - Belfast this morning. Belfast had a comparatively quiet v.rtk-cnd. Two soldiers and three civilians were wounded in the course of thus afternoon's shooting. The rec ord since Monday last is 18 killed and 74 wounded in disturbances in this city. Rupture Averted. London, June 3.-(By A. P.) Rupture of the Irish negotiations again has been averted, but there is little disposition bmt to take a very optimistic view Ot' the situa tion. ;,' The answers of Arthur Griffith, president of the Dail Eireann to six questions put to him by the British cabinet, the nature of which was not given out, were declared "satisfact ory," following which Mr. Griffith left last night for Dublin and Prime Minister ' Lloyd George for his v yiutsiwitide; ..holiday H-,TCffccicth, Wales. 1 The gloomy feeling here was in creased by Mr. Griffith's statement before his departure that the posi tion appeared the same as it was in December. The question of the influence of Eamon De Valera, the Irish re publican leader, crops out in many speculations, and it is assumed there will have to be some modification in his pact with Michael Collins be fore the rival views regarding the new Irish constitution can in any way be harmonized. One extreme opinion is that Col i;is is entirely in De Valera's hands as a result of their agreements and cannot escape, even it he wishes. International Bankers Recess Until Wednesday Paris, June 3. (By A. P.)-The recess until Wednesday of the com mittee of international bankers in vited by the reparations commission to give advice concerning an inter national loan for Germany, is for the purpose of requesting the commission for further information upon the credit basis for the proposed loan. The bankers, in discussing the pos sibility of the loan, quickly reached the question of how any loan could be floated unless full assurances were given to the investing public as to the nature and extent of its secur ity. One element would be the will ingness of the debtor it was said, and another would be the reasonable cer tainty that he could pay. Big Bankers Meeting Is Planned for Alliance Alliance, Neb., June 3.

Plattsmouth, Neb., June 3. (Spe cial.) C. Lawrence Stull, wealthy Cass county farmer, who contributed $1,000 to the American Red Cross and purchased $1,800 worth of war securities in June, 1918, wants bis Red Cross contribution back. Action was brought by Stull in dis trict court here against John F. Wchrbcin, Joseph Johnson, Ralph Haynic, William Rummcll. Dr. O. Sandin and the Plattsmouth State bank. The petition, prepared by his attor ney, I. J. Dunn of Omaha, alleges that on June 9, 1918, the defendants, with the exception of the bank, ac companied by a mob of about 100 persons visited the Stull farm and de manded that tie contribute $4,000 to the government war work in the way of bands and a donation to the Amer ican Red Cross, there being quotos assigned to all residents of the county at that time. . ' Took Funds in Bank. !.-..Th4!aintifl state he told the men he did not have $4,000, and was told that he had $2,800 on deposit in one of the Plattsmouth banks. The par ties demanded that he make checks out for the $2,800 and stood armed with ropes and revolvers until the checks had been written and verified by the bank, where the funds were on deposit. He made two checks, one for $1,800 and the one for $1,000 drawn made payable to the Cass chapter, American Red Cross. The check was deposited in the Platts mouth State bank, where the other funds of the Red Cross were deposit- red. 'Stull asks that judgment ot :(i,uw and court costs be given him. This is the first known action of this kind brought to recover sums that were contributed under protest to the war work welfare organizations in Ne braska. In addition to being forced to contribute, Stull was in trouble with the council of defense, which took over the vast cribs of corn he was holding and refused to sell, dis posing of the same. Much "Courted" Man. Stull has the reputation of being Cass county's most "courted" man, as seldom a term of court goes by that he does not have from one to a half dozen suits on the docket. Some time ago he was fined $100 in county court here for operation of a still, which he paid. Later the fed eral government arrested him on the charge and he served, a term in jail in Omaha on this charge. The state department of public welfare stepped in and had temporary custody of his children removed from him on the grounds that the home maintained at his farm was not a fit place for them. The children have been at tending a private school in Omaha, but under the court decree are to spend their vacations at home. "Follow Your Advertising Talk No. 2 We buy potatoes by the bushel er pound, cloth by the yard, bricks by the thousand, etc., etc. AdvertUing should be bought on a "per inch per thousand circulation" basis. The Associated Retailers intelligently adopted the "rate per inrh ner thousand" basis for buying newspaper advertising in Omaha. They put the "yardstick," so to speak, to the three Omaha nnnpra in a circulation survey, and the result showed thn fnllnwinE- figures for the the three Sunday pr.pers: THE SUNDAY BEE $0.0179 (Lowest) The Sunday World-Herald $0.0197 (Higher) Translated into common parlance, this means that The Sunday Bee is the best advertising "buy" of the three papers. Nor did the survey of the three papers stop at this point. Further investigation showed the remarkable fact that 75 of The Bee subscribers in Omaha own their own homes. This information is of inestimable value of the advertiser who desires to "follow his dollar through" and see that it brings back full value in results. The dollar which pays the higher "rate per inch per thousand circulation" and goes for circula tion of doubtful value and doubtful purchasing power cannot make a showing for itself in results.

OV Two Bodies Recovered By HENRY WALES. lopjrrlihl. Iit. London, June 3. Three persons two men passengers and the pilot were killed today when a French air plane en route from London to Paris fell into the Knglish channel otf Folkestone. The paengcrs were Ir. Gordon Ley, a well-known Lon don surgeon, who wu en route to rejoin his wife, and Paul Carroll, a French manufacturer living in Paris. The machine was a six-seater en closed Spad with a 300 horsepower Hispanola motor. It left Croydon at II o'clock and passed over Koike stone at 3,000 feet altitude, circling over the town and proceeding across the channel toward Houlognc. Plane Nose Dives. When two miles off shore the air plane suddenly nose dived, striking the water with a tremendous cra.h and breaking up, the wreckage sink ing almost immediately. The channel steamer Maid of Or leans, en route from Folkestone to Boiilougnc and filled with passengers, including many Americans, rushed to the scene. Members of the crew picked up the bodies of Dr. Ley and Roger Morin, who piloted a seaplane during the war. Mr. Carroll's body was not found. Bodies Mutilated. The bodies were mutilated and floating, proving that death resulted from injuries received in the crash and not drowning. From an eyewitness account, the pilot must have fainted or had a stroke and fallen forward on the joy stick, guiding the machine straight down, according to the director of the Franch company.

Fenton said he would suspend the rules and allow King to smoke the last few days of his life. Attorhey Stout announced there would be no further legal action tak en in efforts to snatch King from his doom. Horse Subject to Mental Telepathy, Owner Asserts Elyria, O., June 3.

That the horse has an inclination to kick and damage autos, although the animal is sunable to see its man made successor, is a claim made by Schuster.

Harvest ing of winter wheat began today in the southwestern counties of Okla homa with the throbbing binders and reapers and the usual bustle of crop gathering visible in many fields. The crops have been ready for the workers for about a week, reports to the state department of agriculture say, but continued rains have pre vented cutting.

A crop slightly larger than the five-year average is generally looked for, though slight reductions in acreage under last year are reported from some sections. Flyer Who Disturbed Memorial Services Loses Commission Omaha Bee Leaned Wire. Washington, June 2. By direction of the president, Secretary of War Weeks has withdrawn the commis sion of Herbert J. Fahey as a sec end lieutenant in the air service re serve eorps on the ground of mis conduct in connection with Fahey's flight in an airplane over Lincoln Memorial during the dedication serv- ' ices there on "Decoration day. Fahey's commission was with- cVanw, Mr. Weeks said, upon three charges of misconduct, disrespect to the president, interfering with a great, solemn, national ceremonial and endangering the lives of many people. Reserve officers, it was explained, hold their commissions "during the pleasure of the president," and the commissions may be withdrawn for various reasons. The case was ag gravated, the secretary said, by the fact that Fahey had been warned by r.o less than three army ofticers that he should not fly over the memorial during the ceremony, ' J u n e I it.mrlilil, int. McKelvie Asks Government to Aid in Man Hunt Fugitive Again Eludes Posse in Omaha Ashland Bridge Guarded by State Deputies. Airplanes may join the man hunt for Fred Brown, which has been keeping ofticers of Omaha and Lin coln, Douglas and Lancaster coun ties, and State Sheriff Hyers' forces busy for. a week. Brown again gave the posses the slip Friday evening after he was be lieved to have been surrounded south of Fontenelle park. Governor McKelvie Saturday wired air mail headquarters in Washington asking authority for Omaha air mail planes to join the hunt, expressing the belief if these pilots would fly low over the territory between Oma ha and Lincoln, Brown might be lo cated. Four of Sheriff Hyers' deputies guarded the Ashland bridge all night. They returned to Lincoln Sat urday morning, leaving a fresh deputy posted there. Lincoln police continue to answer the numerous calls on reports Brown has been seen there, declaring they are taking no chances. Omaha pclice continue to answer calls that Brown has been seen in Omaha. Ike Card, 3841 Wirt s.treet, was put through a severe questioning by Sheriff Gus Hyers when police were informed Brown had been seen en tering Gard's home. Gard denied knowing Brown, but later admitted he knew him under the name of King when he ran a grocery store at Fortieth and Bed ford streets. Two ofticers. on guard at the Brown shack, where two girls and a man were shackled with chains last Sunday, were fired on Friday night by some one hiding in a thicket. Po lice are inclined to believe some one was attempting to play a practical joke. Two Negroes Are Killed After Posse Is Fired Upon Teague, Tex., June 3.

In the debate on the army bill, he said: "i should be very glad indeed to know that we arc getting our share of the money from Germany to pay for the ex penses of our troops on the Rhine, but it has been a long time since there was any use for our troops there, and a considcrabe time since the an nouncement was made that our troops were all going to be brought home; but they have not all been brought back yet. "If we are going to keep them for ever, there will certainly come a time when congress will wake up enough to decline to appropriate money to keep them there. "If there is any reason .why they should be kept there I certainly would not want to prohibit the pay ment of the money for them, but I have never yet heard what, to my mind, was a sufficient reason, or for that matter, any reason why we should maintain a single soldier in Europe."
