Germans Forming Plans
to Prepare for Next War
by Building AirpIanes

Washington, Dec. l0.-Decision
of airplane manufacturers in Ger
many to turn their plants to max
ing furniture has led to a protest
from officials of the German gov
ernment, according to advices
reaching Washington today
through official channels. The
point was said to have been made
that in order to be ready for the
next war Germany must replace
the airplanes which it is required
to turn over to the associated ma
tons under the terms of the armi-
stice.
Commenting on the protest, the
Badish Landes Zeitung declares
that the next war will be won in
the air and advises the government
to make new contracts with the
manufacturers ito allow Germany
to remain in possession of the
number of flying machines needed
to face the dangers that may men,
ace her in the course of the CON-
ing years."

KNIFE SNATCHED AWAY
FROM HEART OF AMERICA.

New York, Dec. l0.-Americanl-
zation of enemy-owned property
will be continued until peace is pro-
claimed, and possibly even longer
during an extended period of liq-
uidation said A. Mitchell Palmer,
alien property custodian, in an adj
dress here tonight at a meeting un-
der the auspices of the New York
City Bar association.
The policy of Americanization
which he asserted has snatched
away "a knife at the throat of
America" would, he added. destroy
the far-reaching German hold on
American industry and assure
American manufacturers fair compe-
tition in their own and foreign
markets. 1t was preposterous. he
said, that the United States should
lower the barrier against German
trade exploitation merely because
hostilities had ceased.

RETURNED.
TO CITIES
IN FRANCE
Chests Containing Money and
Securities, Stolen by In
vaders, Removed from
Banks in BRUSHES.

London, Dec. 10.-(British Wire
less.)-French and British pickets
under the direction of the paymas-
ter general of the French army and
in the presence of German officers
in civilian clothes, have been sent
to the various banks of Brussels,
notably the Compton National
D'Escomptede Paris and the Credit
Lyonnais, in the last two days. and
have removed large numbers of
chests which were placed there by
the Germans about the middle of
October.
Valuables to be Returned.
These chests, says the Reuter- cor
respondent at Brussels, contain
strong boxes and securities taken
from cities in northern France, in
cluding Lille, Roubaix, Tourcoing,
Valenciennes, St. Quentin and Cam
brai. Other cases placed by the
enemy in the banks at Liege are said
to contain securities to the value of
billions of francs.
These valuables will be returned
to the financial establishments from
which they were taken, except in
the case of towns where the banks
have been destroyed, as for instance,
St. Quentin and Cambria. In such
cases the securities will be deposited
in Paris.
Warships Will Be Held.
Archibald S. Hurd, the naval
writer, in the Daily Telegraph, says,
with reference to the idea said to be
held by some Germans, that the
surrendered German warships would
be returned to Germany after peace
was signed that it points, of course
to a complete misrepresentation of
the intentions of the allies, for it is
certain that these ships will never
again fly the German ensign"
Mr.. Hurd says that the only
course to adopt is to distribute them
among the allies in accordance with
the losses which each has suffered
in maintaining command at sea.
German submarines, on the other
hand, should cease to exist. Mr..
Hurd suggests they be broken up
and the parts used for other pur-
poses,

AVERT WAR AT PEACE
TABLE.

my eyes are turned toward
the great peace conference to
open in Paris" said Bishop Lewis,
at a meeting of the centenary
Jubilee preparation in the First
Methodist church last night. II
am thankful that President Will
son has gone there himself,
though | wish he had taken with
him Elihu Root and ex-President
Taft.
Largely at that peace table it
will be determined whether the
great war between the write race
and the yellow race shall be
fought. The seeds for the great
war just closed were sown' at the
Berlin conference in 1878. After
that conference the war was just
as inevitable as it was in 1914.
Il have great faith in America
at the peace table. Twenty years
ago the big nations of Europe
were just ready to carve up China
when John Hay, secretary of
state for the United States, step
ped in and saved China. Thank
God for John Hay"

STRIKE NO PART

President Of International
Union of Street Railway

fort to Break Union.

Washington, Dec. 10-(Special
Telegram wv. B. Mahon, presi-
dent Of the International Union of
Street Railway Employees, who is
in Washington on business before
the war labor board, said today that
the rumor in Omaha to the effect
that the street car strike was the
first of nationwide campaign on
the part Of labor, to force full rec
ognition of unions everywhere, was
wholly unfounded.
In the Omaha Street Railway case,
he said, the men were striking as a
protest against the company's eforts
to break up the union. His infor-
nation was that the company de-
cided to discourage its employees
from joining the union and was do
ing everything in its power to make
a union mans life miserable and
the strike was a protest against the
company's system of, discourage
ment.

knowledge of 1t.

An automobile mystery Of many
angles is puzzling the auto squad of
the Omaha detective force.
Saturday night S. S. Conklin re-
ported that his new Buick roadster
had been stolen from the garage in
the rear of his Dundee home.
Tuesday morning, Detectives Rich
and Anderson, in searching some
North Side private garages, found
a Buick roadster stored in a garage
III the rear of 22lo Locust street.
Door Securely Locked.
They called up the owner of the
premises, Mrs. w. S. Rowe, and
asked her about the car. They al
lege that she denied that there was
a car in the garage and that nothing
was stored there but wood.
The detectives remained on the
premises until she came from town
and when they opened the door,
which was fastned by a stapled
lock, they found roadster, answer
ing the description of the missing
roadster stored therein.
Detectives say the tires had been
taken from the wheels and carefully
stored in a loft overhead, and the
machine had been lacked up and a
tarpaulin placed over it.
Mrs. Rowe Surprised.
The bumpers had also been re-
moved and the serial number on
the frame plate, it is alleged, had
been changed, as had also the license
plate, an Illinois license of the cur
rent year, number 3l9l00, being sub
stituted.
The car was brought to the sta
ton and identified by Conklin as
his property. Mrs. Rowe, the de-
tectives ellege, expressed surprise at
the appearance of the car in her gar
age.
Mrs. Rowe figured quite promi-
nently in the Hale divorce suit, which
attracted considerable attention in
the district court last spring.

MINISTERS VOTE
DEITY OF CHRIST
BASIS Of BELIEF
Bar All from Local Associa.
tion Who Do Not Hold
View and Unitarian
Pastor WithdraWs.

Churches not believing in the deity
of Christ are barred from the Oma.
ha church federation. After a long
discussion and heated arguments
last night the federation voted by a
large majority to accept a preamble
to its constitution which stated that
the organization was for persons
who "belleve in the deity of Christ" !"
Rev. Robert F. Leavens, pastor of
the First Unitarian church, said the
members cf his church wanted to
help in all of the moral and social
uplift work of the city, but if the
proposed preamble was adopted, he
felt his church could not, consist
emily, join, the federation.
N. G. McCloud insisted that "any-
one who wishes to do less than
teach the deity Of Christ falls way
short of the purpose of this organi-
zation."
Some members argued that, since
the purpose of the federation is
civic, social and moral uplife, all
churches should join regardless of
creed. Rev. Mr.. Leavitt of the Ply
mouth Congregational church said,
II can see no reason why the Jews
and people of all denominations,
who wish to help in uplifting the
community, cannot join the fedora
tion."
The members voted to leave the
name of Archie w. Carpenter. who
died of influenza, on the roll of
officers. Rev. H. B. Foster, presi-
dent, praised Mr.. Carpenters life
of Christian devotion and invited
the members to attend the memorial
services which will be held at the
First Congregational church in his
honor Sunday afternoon.
The following officers of the fed

Roosevelt Fav0rs Treaty
That Would Prevent Wars

New York, Dec. l0.-That the
United States and Great Britain
could today agree to a universal
arbitration treaty which would make
war between the two nations impos-

a letter made public here today,
which the colonel wrote to George
Haven Putnam, president of t.
American Rights league.
Il am now prepared to say what
five years ago | would not have
said" the former president wrote.
II think the time has come when
the United States and the British
empire can agree to a universal ar
bitration treaty. In other words. |
believe that the time has come when
we should say that under no cir
cumstances shall there ever be
resort to war between the United
States and the British empire, that
no question can ever arise between
them that cannot be settled in ju-
