Back to Middle Ages Art.

'This war Is to destroy accepted CIV
ilization and restore to the world the
culture of the Christian common
wealth, the middle ages" Ralph Adams
Cram, Boston architect, told members
Of the Omaha Society of Fine Arts re-
Gently, the Omaha News states.
The loss of philosophy begun by the
renaissance. the reformation and in
tensified industrial conditions of to-
day are the remote causes of world
disturbances, according to the lee
turer.
Civilizations development, seen
through architecture, reached a high
standard in Egypt, Rome, and Greece,
and its zenith in the middle ages, the
speaker said.
Il recommend return to the guild
system and condemn the shackles of
modern capitalism" said Mr.. Cram.
"In architecture we find the quail
ties essential to rebuilding the world
morally, industrially and scientifically,
which We must apply after the war;"

MITCHELL PALMER TO TAKE
CHARGE OF BIG SHIP LINES.
BODY BLOW AT HUN TRADE
Action Of President Should Prove to

worthy Government Can
Trade Be Recouped.

Washington. Is about 10
take step that ought to make Ger
many think twice about whether o.
not the United States is in earnest
In her determination to use her trade
power as a means Of. forcing demo
cratic peace. For the government OF
the United States, through the alien
property custodian, A. Mitchell Pal
mer, Is arranging to take legal pos
session of the Hamburg-American
and North German Lloyd Steamship
lines, and II congress says the WORD,
the enormously valuable dock facili-
ties in the port of New York will be
sold to the highest bidder, preferably
American interests.
This step, which has long been in
contemplation, has the personal ap-
proval of President Wilson. 1t does
not mean that the sale of the dock
facilities, which incidentally could be
replaced by Germany only after years
OF building and the payment of high
prices for other water front property,
Is to be consummated Immediately. 1t
does mean, however, that the govern
ment of the Unites States is about to
take over the administration Of the
two big steamhip lines and control
Df their stock and that an after-the-
war question of prime Importance
has been raised.
The value of the German line docks
has been estimated to run away up
in the millions. Certainly If Germany
should lose them It would be body
blow to her trade which she expects
to recover promptly after peace is de-
clared. But II her boats have no dock
ing space Germany cannot resume
trade relations the day peace is de-
ciared, as she has been planning t.
do. Her statesmen have quieted the
fears Of Germany's business men by
saying that America was bluffing and
that American selfishness would pee
vent any discrimination against Ger
many after the war.
OF course, the treaty of peace, IL
1t Is the right kind Of peace, as Mr.
Wilson himself limited in a recent
message to congress, could prevent
any discrimination against Germany

INTERESTS OF FRIENDLY ALLIES

Advance of Germans Into Russia
Will Be Stopped by Advent of
Japanese-Fear That Rus
slams May Resist.

London According to the Daily
Mail, 1t is understood that the allies
have decided to ask the Japanese to
take steps necessary for the protec-
ton of the allies in the Far East
Stress is laid on the fact that the
British and Japanese governments
hold that Japan's Intervention in the
Russian affairs is not to be con-
strued as an act, of hostility to Rus
STA or the Russian government. its
purpose is to safeguard menaced al.
lied interests and to protect stores
and munitions at Vladivostok and to
assist Russia to tighten and eventual
ly lift the burden of the German yoke.
Premier Lloyd George visited the
American embassy and had an impo--
tant conference with Ambassador
Page, according to the Daily News,
which believes the meeting was in
connection with Japan's interventic Il
in Siberia.
1t Is quite unusual for premier to
visit foreign embassies. Such calls are
usually made by the foreign minister.
Accumulated at Viadivostok are
military supplies Of all kinds, much Of
American manufacture, and even great.
ef quantities Of Japanese origin, de-
livered long before the Bolsheviki took
possession of the Russian government.
The Stevens commission of American
engineers made extraordinary efforts
to improve the facilities to the Siber-
ian railroad so that these stores could
be transported to the Russian army
and much of the accumulation was re-
moved. The great quantities remain
ing, however, suffers seriously from
deterioration due to exposure to the
weather and other causes. Some of
the supplies are on the docks and in
warehouses and even in the open both
at Vladivostok and at points westerly
on the railroad,
This situation IL regarded by the
Japanese as warranting some meas
ures to secure these stores, even If
this involves military action on their
part

erlton Defends the Gar.

London-Speaking at dinner given
in his honor in London, Sir George
Buchanan, British ambassador to Rus
STA, who is now on leave, took occa-
sion to correct the widespread report
that at the time of his abdication EN-.
peror Nicholas was ready to conclude
a separate peace. Sir George said
there was not word of truth in this
report. Doubtless Nicholas had much
to answer for, he remarked, but he
would never have betrayed the cau5s
of the allies and was always loyal
friend to England

Central LABOR MEN
DISCUSS affairs
Report Back on Recent In
vestigation of City Police
Department
DISCUSS DRAFTING
OF MARRIED MEN

Members Of the Central Labor Union
at their meeting last night received a
report from their committee, appointed
to investigate the Police Department
and to protest against the docking sys-
tenn in the department.
"The Central Labor Union, during the
open meeting with City Council, pro-
tested against the action Of the Police
Commission In refusing to meet pub
licly with bodies OF citizens and their
representatives, the City Council, and
our delegates recommended publicly
that the following system be used by
the Police Commission instead OF the
present docking system. For an officer
guilty OF violating the rules and regu-
lations OF the department:
Trial to be by board composed Of
chief Of police, one captain OF police
one sergeant, one patrolman and one
detective.
First Offense-Oflcer TO be repri-
manded by the chief Of police.
Second Offense-Fine Of one day OF
vacation.
Third Offense-Fine Of three or four
days Of vacation.
Fourth Dismissal from the
force.
"As the members OF the force are
each given seven days vacation with
pay, It will readily be seen that their
families will not suffer as at present
under the docking system which is
practlced by the commission. During
the hearing we ascertained that at the
time theer were 10 vacancies.
ION Thursday evening, February a.
City Council refused TO allow the Police
Commissioners special Appropriation 10
give a bonus, distributed on the pro
rata plan, to members Of the police
force, it being the opinion Of members
of Council that il any bonus were TO be
paid the money accumulated through
the vacancies be used for the purpose.
Your committee thanked City Coun-
ell for the manner in which we were
entertained and for The public spirited
manner in Which every member Of
Council present listened to the opin-
Ions Of your committee and the indi-
vidual members of our delegation For
further action in this matter we sug-
gest
T. That a letter be written TO the
Board Of Police Commissioners stat
ing:
Ia That labor and the general pub
lie is censuring the board for refusing
