ALLIED COUNCIL
NOT SUPREME
Lloyd George Explains in
House of Commons 1t
Is to Act
IN ADVISORY
CAPACITY
Without Executive Author
ity-Press of London
Opposes Scheme

London. Nov. l5.--The fight against
Premier Lloyd Georges support of an
inter allied war council came to a head
in the House of Commons yesterday
afternoon, when the premier himself
took the floor to explain the agreement
creating the organization.
He declared that the interallied war
council had mo executive power"
Final decisions as to strategy and as
to the movement of troops win rest with
the governments" he declared. 1.-The al
lies object in the plan was to have
representative central body which should
watch the whole operations of the war
and coordinate plans, and, if necessary,
propose new ones"
Lloyd George suggested that the House
of Commons devote next Monday to a
detailed debate on the whole war eoun-
Gil plan. He then read in full the agree
ment between the three governments of
England, France and Italy creating the
war council
In London sections of the press and
public continued the onslaughts on the
scheme, the fear being expressed that
under it civilians might replace military
men as strategists.
The resignation of Premier Painleve
and his cabinet was regarded as directly
expressive of the French Chamber of
Deputies opposition to such a PLAN al
though the vote was not specifically for
or against the plan itself
The resignation of Painleve and his
colleagues came after Socialists had
withheld their vote from motion to
support the government The motion it
self was passed but the majority was
so scant that, coupled with the strength
Of the non-voting Socialists, it was pa.
tent the ministry could not command |
a full majority of members
Painleye's speech gave this outline of !
the war council:
ats object is>not to direct the details
of military operations, but TO define the
general war policy and the general plans
of the allies, adapting them to the re-
sources and means at hand, and in order
to assure the strongest possible results
1t rests upon an interallied permanent
staff, which forms at the same time its
central organ of information and its
technical adviser.
1--WE have already heard the objection
that it is united command, not a con
committee, that we need All
plans are open to criticism and am not
saying that the step we have taken is
he last in the progress to be accom-
1lished."
Most newspapers, particularly the
Sorthcliffe publications, expressed fear
that the new war council
would seek to displace such British com ,
handlers as Sir Douglas Haig and Gen
raj Robertson.
Paris, Nov. l5.-Rene Viviani, former
PREMIER and later minister of justice
lnder Ribot, was regarded yesterday as
icing the most likely successor of Pain
eve as premier
The downfall of the Painleve ministry Y
Iad been expected for several weeks, II Y
lad been realized the ministry was in !
he nature of makeshift Painleve ::
ormed it on the basis of truce with =
he Socialists, but their support had new b
r been definitely pledged.

FOURTH BRANCH OF THE ARMY.
Military Men Look Upon Y. M. c. A
Red Triangle War Work as an
Indispensable Part of the
Service.

1--WE used to say that there were three
general branches of the army-the cav
airy, the infantry and the artillery. Now
we should say there are four branches
the cavalry, the infantry, the artillery
and the Y. NJ. c. A. said a well known
military leader a few days ago, and in
doing so voiced the attitude of great
majority of United States officers sery-
ing in the present crisis.
Perhaps the chief reason for this in
elusive ranking of the Y. VI. C. A. Red
Triangle war work in the minds of army
men as distinct branch of the service
is due to the efficient and pre- eminently
practical manner in which its workers
handle and carry on their duties; over
looking nothing that can contribute to
the physical, moral and social welfare
of the boys in khaki A casual glance
over the following list of minimum camp
equipment at any cantonment will give
some idea of the way things are worked

one man in charge, where stationery,

of cheer, and firm believer in its eff
cacy. According to him it will almost
do the impossible, and smile will yet
win the war. "Whatever the French
have done in this war" he said the other
day in addressing some enlisted men at
one of the cantonments, whatever the
horrors they have withstood, whatever
the sacrifices they have made, they have
been able to do it all because they have
kept on smiling.
"The Y. NJ c. A. is the smilemaker in
camp The same is true among the
troops on the French front. Y. NJ. c. A.
Red Triangle service furnishes the army
spirit. which means morale, while the
government furnishes the physical train
ing and implements of war"

No one has as vet come forward
with a potato meal factory, although
it is said potato meal has long been
successfully made i'll Germany and
other parts of Europe. While the in
dustrial committee Of the Commercial
club and the new industries commit
tee arc busy looking for new indus
tries and offering prizes for the best
suggestions as to what kind Of factori
les should succeed. there are those who
feel that a potato meal factory should
have consideration. Omaha lies in the
very center of great agricultural
belt, where potatoes are raised in vast
quantities. They are cheap in the fall
about the time for harvesting pota-
toes. Then hucksters cry themselves
hoarsc to sell them to the housewives

may be canned and thus preserved
indefinitely, but in America little has
been done for the highly valuable
potato in the way of conserving the
nutritious starch OF this pcrishable
,uber. The European war is teaching
the world many lessons along this
line. Milk -four, and buttermilk -four
have been manufactured for years and
with great success, yet potatoes,
which grow readily in this Nebraska
soil, are persistcntly neglected by the
man who has money 10 invest in a
factory.
The average crop OF potatoes
throughout the United States is l06
bushels per acre, according TO govern
ment statistics. 1t has been pointed
out that at the present price this
would mean SOP per acre. OF course,
that is retail price, and everyone
knows the farmer does not get 81 a
bushel for his potatoes. Nevertheless,
good crop of corn is about forty
bushels per acre, which at the present
price to the farmer would be some
thing less than $40 per acre.
The difference between the value OF
a potato crop and corn crop in Ne
braska is here evident, though the
price of potatoes in the fall, when
the farmer digs them. is usually so
low that he does not consider his
potato crop a very profitable one. A
potato meal factory, it has been sug-
gctsed, could create demand for po-
tatoes in the fall when they are most
abundant, when they are also in the
finest condition; and might thus result
in increased production of potatoes
on high-priced Nebraska farm land,
to the advantage and profit of the
farmer as well as to the great COM
fort of the consumer of the necessi-
ties of life.

Omaha Contractor Has Chance
To Build New Athletic Club

There now appears to be chance
that an Omaha contractor may build
the proposed new Athletic club build
ing to cost between $450,0OO and
$500000. This was admitted by Pres
ident Fraser of the club Saturday aft
ernoon following conference in his
Office between directors of the club
and contractors.
When the bids were first opened,
two weeks ago, ii appeared that
James Black and James Stewart, St.
Louis contractors, were lower than
any Omaha bidders. Closer scrutiny
of the bids Saturday revealed that at
least two Omaha bidders are as low
as the St. Louis contractors.
Another conference by directors is
to be held Tuesday afternoon in Mr..
Fraser's office. At that time two
members of the clubs building COM
mittee, George Brandeis and w. B. T.
Belt, will be home.
A prospectus OF the clubs new
building, made from drawings by
Architect Latenser, is soon to be pub
Iished
