1t Is Proposed to Limit Voting In
Nebraska to Actual Citizens of
That State
IAssociated Press Disnatcb !

lASSOc1ated Press piSDatch.
Omaha, Neb., January 24-The re-
striction of the elective franchise in
Nebraska to actual citizens of the
United States is the object of an
amendment to the state constitution
proposed by the State Council of De-
Tense and for the submission Of
which to the voters petitions are now
being circulated. Under the present
constitution foreigners who have de-
clared their intention of becoming
citizens are permitted to vote.
The subject was brought to public
notice some weeks ago by numerous
registrants under the military draft
law who claimed exemption as "ene-
my aliens although they had pro-
cured their first naturalization paper
and had voted in elections.
1t is hard to say how many men
would be DISTINGUISHED by the adop-
ton of the amendment but it is
estimated that at least 10000 of the
less than 100000 voters in the state
would be affected. OF this number it
is said about half are Germans and
Austrians.
1t will require the signatures of
approximately 10000 registered vot-
ers to validate the petition SUBMIT
ing the amendment to the electors,
but the members of the state council
are sure that many times that numb
er will be obtained without difficulty.
The amendment will be submitted
at the November election.

Struck Down By Sailor; Run
Through With Bayonets
TAKEN FROM RAIL GAR
Frenzied Mob TIRE Clothing
From His Body, Leaving 1t
Stripped Bare
[Ass,ciated Press Dispatch.I

from Thursdays Barry.
Paris, January PA vivid picture
of the circumstances of the murder,
by Infatuated bo1sheviki, of General
Dukhonin, formerly commander-in-
chief of the Russian army, is given
by the Petrograd correspondent of the
Matin, who apparently was an eye
witness of the tragedy. According to
his story Ensign Krylanko, the bolshe-
Wiki ommander-in-c chief, endeayored
to save General Dukhonin from the
mob but his efforts were unayailing
and the Russian commander was
struck down by sailor and then run
through with a dozen bayenets.
The murder took place after the
bolshevih had captured the head
quarters of the Russian army at Mohi-
Low and followed General Dukhonin's
refusal to request the German army
officials to enter into an armistice
with the bolsheviki. The general was
on board train when the mob sur
rounded him. According to The
Mathis correspondent the general APP
peared at the window of his railway
carriage.
Throw us your epaulettes!"
shrieked the soldiers, cor we'll kill
you," and they shouldered their rifles.
Krylenko begged the general to give
way to them, but Dukhonin refused.
"They can go to the deuce" he
cried. Let them kill mel"
A bullet whistled by, breaking
the window, then second. General
Odintzeff went up to Dukhonin and
gently took off his epaulettes. They
were thrown to the mob and were
quickly torn to pieces and for mo-
ment he thought he was saved. Then
a handful of sailors jumped into the
carriage They seized Dukhonin by the
shoulders and pushed him to the end
of the coach and then on to the plat
form. Krylenko ran after them. The
generals appearance caused great
uproar.
''Kill him right out!" they cried.
"Kerensky and Korniloff got off. Men
like him must be killed at once" s.
AS the mob pushed closer and closer
upon the general, Krylenko stormed
and shouted, but no one took any no.
tice With a single blow the general
was struck down by tall sailor
from the rebel cruiser Aurora Duk-
honin got on his feet again once, his
face streaming with blood. He tried
to speak but dozen bayonets were
run through him, and then blows
and kicks were rained upon his body.
The soldiers fought for his clothing
tearing it from him. The corpse,
stripped bare, was set up against
railway carriage and the mob, laugh
ing like madmen, started a gruesome
game Sailors, Red Guards, and SOL
diers made snow and mud balls and
flung them at the generals head.
81 could no longer look on" writes
The Mathis correspondent, and dashed
back into the carriage, where found
Krylenko sitting in corner, his face
in his hands. When he lifted his head
l saw he was pale as death. Look at
Them he said in a whisper. There's
no holding them in now. and all the
rest of us must come TO the same
end"

Sugarless Sweets to
Lengthen Short Rations

Wheat rations are of and sugar
rations are on!
Here's the reason. Germany. Rus
sis and Austria produced e7.4 per cent
of the worlds sugar supply. They
are now all out of the market because
OF the war. Also. the great sugar-beet
fields of France and Belgium are now
in the hands Of the enemy and that
supply is cut of. And most impor-
tant Of ALTO make up the world
sugar shortage the United States has
exported in Is1e-1s more than nineteen
times as much sugar as the three
year average before the war. This
explains why there is less sugar to
be had and why there is little hope OF
an improved situation during the
period of the war.
To save granulated sugar substitute
sirups. and fruit juices and pastes IN
cereals. on hot cakes and in oever-
ages. Use more raisins, dried peaches,
strawberries, pears. prunes, and all
dried fruits with cereals and as des-
serts and sauces.
After long experiment by the de-
partment of home economics at Cor
nell University, the New York Food
Commission has published a number
Of excellent recipes for sugarless
sweets. Try these when the two
pounds run low.

Soak two and one-half tablespoonfuls
Of gelatin mot acidulated) in one-half
cupful Of cold water for 5 minutes,
then dissolve IT in one cupful of hot
milk. Beat the milk hard with an
egg beater to prevent curdling. Add
one-fourth cupful of peach or orange
marmalade, and one-half cupfUl OF
corn sirup mixed with one-half cup
full milk from fresh Cocoanut. Stir
the mixture well and when it is cool
add one cupful Of grated fresh or
canned cocoanut, and one-half cupful
cold milk. Pour tha pudding into
rinsed mold and chill thoroughly.
