LANSING BLUNDERS IN
HUNT FOR NEWS LEAK

Washington, Dec. 1S.-President
Wilson's action in personally telling
newspaper representatives the exact
condition Of affairs to put down crop
of sensational peace rumors following
Fridays cabinet meeting, caused Sec
rotary Lansing to bump his official
head against a stone wall, it became
known here.
He apparently surmised that Secre-
tary Tumulty was responsible for the
news handout The chief of the state
department was angry from head to
foot. He seized the telephone and
made inquiries of Mr.. Tumulty. When
pressed to indicate just how the in
formation had been given out, Mr..
Tumulty fatty declared that it was
made public by the president, This
proved sufficient for the secretary of
state
President Wilson has assumed full
charge of all information to be made
public regarding the peace proposals.
He will not disclose any diplomatic
secrets, but above all things the pres
ident will insist that spectators in
Wall street do not have an opportunity
to utilize sensational rumors to raise
and lower stock prices.
The ease with which values were
advanced or deprecated during the
past week was productive of consid-
cradle irritation in administration cir
cles

War On Grasshoppers

All the grasshoppers in Mis-
soula county are doomed, accord
ing to an edict issued by County
Agent Campbell. The grass
hoppers did a lot of damage in
the spring, destroying much
young alfalfa seeding, garden
truck and wheat, and later at
tackled fields of fall wheat, and
Campbell is planning a whole
sale massacre of the insect pests
to prevent a recurrence of the
grasshopper raid, says the Mis-
soulian.
This fall Campbell and Walter
Larrimer of the United States
bureau of entomology put pois-
oned bran bait in some of the
attacked fields and this method
of attack proved very successful
in the eradication of the hoppers.
Now Campbell plans to start
using the same dope early on the
little pests and forever driving
them out Of the vicinity, as one
dose will end the grasshoppe1
nuisance for years.

FOUNDER OF OMAHA
Y.M.C.A. BREACHES
Robert weidensall Occupies Pulpit
at ST. Marks Lutheran
Church.
TRAVELS ALL OVER EARTH

Robert weidensall. founder OF the
Omaha Young Mems Christian sssocia-
ton, preached at 81. Marks Lutheran
church yesterday morning. He and the
pastor. Rev. DR. 0roh are lifelong
friends. this friendship dating from more
than half n century ago when they were
students In Gettysburg college. Gettys-
burg. Pa.
Mr.. Weidensall e. a pioneer Of Omaha
and has been international secretary OF
the Young Mems Christian association
since 1853. He has travelled all over the
earth IN the interests Of the great Chris
tian organization.
Mr. Weidensail has Just returned from
trip to New York. Boston, Philadelphia.
Harrisburg. Baltimore. Washington and
other points on a tour Of money raising
10 put into the new association building
IN Chicago an exact reproduction OF the
room in London where the first Young
Mems Christian association In the world
was organized. In Philadelphia on this
trip he visited the big Sunday school OF
his friend. John wanamaker. the great
merchant This school has 1000 members.
In his sermon yesterday Mr.. weldon
san took the words OF ST. Paul 20 the
Hebrews. advising them to provoke one
another unto love"
Difference tR MeaninE.
In our language Of today we rarely
use the word provoke in any sense ex-
oept provoking TO anger" he said. But
in the broad sense OF the old English
one can provoke to anger. 20 pleasure or
even 10 love.
Now, provoking to anger always does
harm; provoking 20 pleasure usually
doesn't do any good. but provoking 20
love results in all the good things in the
world
The apostle advises them 20 provoke
one another not only to love, but 10
good works. Good works never follow
provoking to anger and they seldom fol-
low provoking 20 pleasure. The anger
does evil works and the pleasure Is usu-
ally satisfied with itself ana that Is all
there is to II. But when a person IL pro-
voked to love. then good works follow.
When America was provoked by Chris
tian principles 10 love for the Belgians
In distress then followed the good
works Of sending them food and other as
sistance."
He paid a tribute to tho late J. r.
weheImy. who was also his warm friend

Fight Only Partly. Won.
Thus Omaha has IN twelve years become
great primary grain market in spite
Of the railroads and their discriminating
rates.
And one Of the distressing things about
making fight Is that the railroads make
the reply that grain would not como to
Omaha anyway.
This was the plea made by the railroads
when the Grain exchange asked for more
favorable rates from the famous oaIlatin
Valley In Montane. The Burlington went
before the Interstate Commerce commits
sion and tried 10 show that the grain
from that valley had no inclination 20
come 20 Omaha. The railroad representa-
tive testified before the commission that
only four carloads had come from that
valley 70 Omaha IN two years
In spite Of this testimony. however. the
commission ordered a readjustment. Civ.
ing omahs q better opportunity In COM
petition with Minneapolis anc Chicago.
The now rate went into effect August l
OF last year
The result WAS that Instead OF four cars
IN two years. tho Omaha Grain exchange
got 2.ool carloads OF grain out OF that
valley from the first Of August TO the
first Of january. This is 500 carloads IN
five months, AZ against four carloads in
twenty-four months.

The grain rates were established there
long before Omaha had a grain market
when Omaha established a grain market.
Il had to take what Il could get in the
way OF rates. There has been a pe,

and the fight IL TO be kept up until
Omaha gets what IL is entitled 20 a. a
