SparSo. Good American

John Spargo undoubtedly speaks for all patri-
otc socialists when he says they have been be-
trayed by their party organization. That organi-
cation processes it's intense desire for peace on
terms that Germany would be delighted to accept
"a peace that would leave the German autocracy
dominant from the North Sea to the Persian
Gulf, with Belgium, Poland, Austria, Serbia, Bull
garia, Rumania, Greece and Turkey nominally in
dependent, but all virtually dependents of Ger
many.
Incidentally it would be interesting to get the
names of the socialist leaders who shout so loudly
for peace, and learn whether they are not as far
from American origin as they are remote from
American spirit.-Kansis City Star.

REGULARS MAY NOT

suffs outspoken Before the
Meeting On Belonging to
Both Organizations.
CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY

While the conference of the Con-
gressional Union next Wednesday
was not officially considered at tho
meeting of Douglas county suffragists
held at the Young Women's Chris
tian association, suffrage regulars"
were outspoken before the meeting
opened, in their opinions of the new
suffrage organization, which is seek.
ing to get a foothold in Nebraska.
Mrs. Draper Smith, former presi-
dent of the state suffrage society,
challenged statements of Miss Beulah
Amidon, Congressional Union organi-
ger, that loyal membership in the ma
tional suffrage organization need not
hinder active work in the Congress
sional Union.
"How can women work in two Or
CARNATIONS whose methods are dia-
metrieally opposed to each other?'
she asks.
Ire is Aroused.
Local suffragists say they have in
formation that the federal amend
ments will not be considered during
the present session of congress as had
been expected, on account of ire
aroused by the Congressional I'm
ions picketing the White House.
Expected consideration of the presi-
dental suffrage for women bill in the
state legislature prevented Mrs. w.
E. Barley. state suffrage president,
from attending the meeting. Mrs
Draper Smith presided.
Plans for enrolling women in the
suffrage school, which will be main-
tanned in Omaha the last week in
March, and in Lincoln the first week
in April, were discussed. Elsie Van.
dergrift Benedict, suffrage organizer
who worked in Omaha during the
last campaign, was present. Mrs.
Benedict is sent by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait to organize the country
districts. She begins her work at

DISASTER Is TEN
Twenty One Injured and Tween

of Chicago Fire.
NOW SEARCHING THE RUINS

Chicago, Feb. 3.-While more than
100 men worked tonight over the
smouldering ice-covered ruins of the
West Side tenement house here, which
was wrecked by an explosion here to-
day, these results had been estab-
lished: The known dead numbered
ten, injured, twenty-one; missing,
twenty-four, and the rescued, unin-
jured, twenty-five.
The tenement contained at the time
OF the explosion sleeping men, women
and children variously estimated at
between eighty and ninety. .
Twenty-four hours more at least,
according to Fire Marshal OConner,
would be necessary to clear away the
mass of debris and ice in order to
fully determine whether there are
others in the ruins. Late today fire.
men said they heard moaning under
portions of the ruins and as result
five persons were taken from the spot.
1t is believed there are about dozen
others beneath the mass of ice and
charred timbcrs and twisted iron. The
intense cold-l0 degrees below zero
retarded the fremen and the streams
turned on the burning tenement
turned to ice almost as soon as the
water fell.
The explosion IS believed to have
been caused by leaking gas main,
the gas hn..lly reaching a hall light.
Long after the three STORY brick build
ing had fallen pillar OF fire stood up
from the ruins, indicating a flow of
gas. and it was not until hours later
that this could be stopped. Even
after the spectacular pillar of fire had
been overcome escaping gas made the
fire difficult to suppress sufficiently to
permit search of the ruins and by the
time burning gas had been overcome
ice had formed SO thick that the work
of search was retarded. =
Most of the rescued soon after the
explosion sustained frozen hands or
feet, as all were in scant attire.
