Big Demand for Allan
Sedans; Many Farmers
Buying Closed Cars

The sale Of sedsns, according to
Carl Changstrom Of the Standard
Motor Car company, is increasing
very rapidly and the Allen sedan is
coming in for IS share of sales. Ac-
cording to Changstrom it has been
almost impossible to keep a sedan
in stock for use as a sales model,
although sedan shipments are now
arriving almost daily.
The combination of comfort and
accessibility offered in the Allen
sedan makes it q remarkably popu-
lar model and tits surprising to OBJ
serve that the weather beaten farm
er who supposedly hates everything
which is inclosed has taken a fancy
to the sedan and a large number of
these models are finding their way

The data showing the wealth Of

The map and the showing made by
it is something of revelation to
Omaha business men. Speaking OF
it, c. o. Talmage, chairman of the
bureau, has this to say:
81 am going to keep one of those
maps on my desk continually, In
addition to building up business at
a distance | am going to pay more
attention to the big little towns at
our gates"
"We live in one of the wealthiest
sections on the face of the globe"
says Joe Kelley, secretary OF the
bureau. "It is time our people real
lied it. That is why ~we expect to
advertise Omaha to our home folks
as we'll as to the nation"
1.-THE retailers~have long known
about the wealth within Omaha's
retail territory" says Charles D.
Beaton, vice chairman of the bu-
reau. Business men generally should
concentrate their efforts in this sec
ton. They will then see the neces-
sity of building up an immense net

Paris, Dec. Probably the big.

has to face in the city of Paris is
the housing of soldiers who flock
to this city in thousands for "a to

boy who comes to France is eager
to see Paris, and the prices of &C

is beyond the possibilities of their

several hotels where they can go

a bed and shower. Meals are
served at cost.

neighborhood on the overflow list
were also crowded to the limit. The
office also has a long list Of rooms

soldiers. The list was exhausted.

never grow old to the child. They
are conned over with loving care,

that he became a child himself for
the time being and always wrote
with an intimate knowledge of
child life. So long as there are chill
dren there will be a demand for
new editions of these quaint verses.

AChance To Work.

We can't expect the stomach to act
normally if the natural avenues of
elimination are blocked so it cannot
dispose of it's refuse. When the bowels
are constipated the stomach is called
upon forw ork beyond it's capacity
and the result is bloat, belching,
headache, and discomfort generally,
and, unless the condition is promptly
relieved, serious illness.
An effective remedy for constipa-
ton is sold in drug stores under the

ANOTHER PEACE
DRIVE PROBABLE
SAYS PROFESSOR

Philadelphia, May 17-Probability
and grave danger of another German
peace drive were emphasized by Pres
tGent A Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard
University, in his address today at
the opening session of the Convention
of the League to Enforce Peace. He
said in part:
1T is not at all improbable that
within few weeks Germany may
propose to make peace on terms that
appear on their face reasonable and
moderate. She may offer to retire
from Belgium and France and even
to contribute toward the damage suf-
fered, to cede Alsace and Lorraine or
leave their future to be decided by
plebiscite, to give the Trentino and
Trieste to Italy, to promise some kind
of autonomy to the various races in
Central and Eastern Europe, and to
agree that the barbarities she has
practiced, shall not again be permit
ted in war.
Such an offer might well beguile
the Allies into delusive peace. The
peace would be delusive for, unless
the principle of militarism is Destroy
ed, the promises would be kept no
letter than those broken in the past.
Autonomy of other races would mean
their organization for the strength
ening of Germany; until she had
control Of the resources of a popula-
ton of 5000, 900 for her next war.
Such a settlement would be a mere
truce pending a strife more fierce
hereafter.
eff the upshot Of this war is incon-
elusive the whole world will be pre-
pairing for another. During any
temporary truce men of science in all
countries will devote much of their
thought to making engines more de-
| structive and more deadly for the next
| struggle which will be well nigh a
war of determination.
Civilization as we know it has
| reached a point where it must pre-
clude war or perish by war, and war
| can be precluded only by a conquest
| of the world by a single power, or by
| an organization of many nations t.
prevent its recurrence.
THE principle of predatory mill
tarism cannot be done away with
unless mankind has the intelligence
the magnanimity and the determin-
alton so to organize itself that justice
| shall take the place of violence. and
! that the predatory state shall be re-
| strained, by force if need be, from a
| wanton resort to arms. No one ma
| ton can do this, nor can it be done
if the United States stands aloof. The
| time has come to take part in a
League of Nations to maintain an
enduring peace here and elsewhere.
| We must finish the work we have be-
| gun until the principle for which we
