Gen. Bell Warns
Against Peril of
Half Peace
Germany Must Be Forced
to Unconditional Sur
render, He Says
Officers Club Opened
Charles E. Hughes Presents
Union League Gift to
Military Men
Officers Club Opened

Major General J. Franklin Bell
warned against the perils Of a "half
way peace" yesterday in his address
at the opening of the Officers House,
established by the Union League Club,
at 121 East Twenty-frst Street-for-
merly the Princeton Club
Germany, the general pointed out,
after thanking the Union League Club
for the gift of the house, has always
fought to a negotiated peace before
this.
"She has had a seven years war, a
ten years war and a thirty years war"
he remarked. "Shc has never in her
history surrendered unconditionally.
Nothing but unconditional surrender
Will convince the German of o-day
that he Is not only unable but unfit to
dominate the earth.
"Otherwise, he will claim that he
has been successful and there is no
telling what the result will be. Ger
many must be conquered If she is
permitted to continue her career of
rapins and spoliation Of other nations,
solely on the theory that might makes
right there is no telling to what cx-
tent, tent she will extend her power and
build up her military oligarchy."
The dedicatory services included the
formal presentation Of the house to
the officers of all branches of the SER
vice by former Justice Charles Z.
Hughes, president of the Union League
Club
"Just now," said Mr.. Hughes, ad-
dressing several score Of officers, "our
attention is directed to the use of every
means to provide as quickly as posi-
Bile an adequate force to make victory
sure. We are not counting the number
of men; we want all the men that are
needed. We are not thinking of a
particular amount of money; we mere
!y propose to supply all the money that
is required.
Loan Success Shows Resolve
"The splendid success of the third
Liberty Loan is but an indication of an
inflexible resolve. We hear reports on
every side that the people OF the United
States have settled down to d firm de-
termination that they Will see this war
through to a complete victory"
Mr.. Hughes read the following tele-
gram from President Wilson:
please convey to the gentlemen who
will assemble at the Officers House en-
Monday evening my cordial greetings
and express to them my very sincere
interest in the success of an under
taking which seems to me admirable in
It's conception and which, I think, will
meet with the best results"
The new Officers Club, as it has been
rcmodelled, contains sleeping quarters
Tor seventy men. There is a we'll
equipped reading and billiard room and
dining room. Officers may find ac-
commodations there when passing
through the city at much less cost than
at the average hotel
The entire expenses of remodelling
and opening the house were betrayed
by the Union League Club. The work
ing force at the house is supplied gra-
tuitously by the Vanderbilt Hotel.

COCK PHEASANT
IS TURKEYS friend
Rounds Up Siraying Cob
blers on DR.. Balls
Farm
HAS NO LOVE FOR
FIGHTING BOOSTERS

Or. L. Heisler Ball, Republican United
States Senator-elect from Delaware, has
at his country home at Falkland, a
cock pheasant which for a long time
has distinguished itself BY acting as
mentor and guide for flock OF turkeys
DR.. Ball has been for years a great
admlrer OF pheasants and has spent
substantial amounts OF money In their
propagation. One OF the pheasants he
raised is the cock bird referred 10
above. That bird became so domestic
in its habits that II decided to spend
most OF its time with the chickens and
the turkeys,
Noticing that the turkeys were given
10 ranging far afleld, and that they did
not always return TO the yards when
they should, he decided 10 take the
matter into his own hands Soon there
after II was noticed that as evening
approached the pheasant would survey
his surroundings, and II he noticed
that the turkeys were not UP, would
ny away In search OF them. When flnal-
ly he had found them he would round
them up and head them toward the
house. At first tho turkeys. especially
the gobblers, were disposed 10 resent
this interference with their feeding and
r0osting plans. He retaliated by whip
ping the recalcltrants into line and soon
had as we'll disciplined a flock OF tur-
Keys as any pheasant martinez could
wish.
Today one OF the sights IN the neigh
borhood Is the absolute obedience
which those turkeys give to their self
commander.
There IL another thing about this
,ock pheasant, and It has the roosters
)n the Ball place buffaloed That is.
hat IL irritates the pheasant 10 see
'oosters fighting. He never disturbes
he roosters until they get TO fighting
Imong themselves; but when that oc-
'urs he raises the banner, blessed
S the peacemaker@ and sails in and
rims up the belligerent roosters. In
act. he exercises his police powers so
diligently that a real, good old rooster
lght has become almost a thing OF the
)ast at the Ball place.

Says
LWAYS DECORATED
LIKE A FOOL"
BY W. C. SHEPHERD

WASHINGTON Nov, 6.-The weakest
sneed king of them all in Europe was
this Karl Of Austria, who has abandon
ed his government.
saw him repeatedly, during the
Austrian advance into Russia in the
tall Of 1914. before he became emperor.
There was something disgustingly
weak about his face. Old Franz Jo-
seph was stlll on the throne and the
Austrian officers did not hesitate to ex-
pres1 their opinion Of the prince, as he
mCved about among his troops.
There was not one ounce OF kingll-
ness in him, as l saw him during the
retreat from Przemysl. 1t was bleak
and cold in the Carpathians then; re-
treating soldiers and the walking
wounded made their way through the
mud, through The pine forests and
across the farm lands, dying at the
pathsdes. Cholera, OF the Asiatio
brand that kills in "a hours was epi-
demic and the very mud was poison.
To try TO hold Przemysl was folly,
but Karl, back in the great, warm stone
building at Neu Sandec, insisted that
II must not be surrendered. Two hun
dred thousand troops must be left In
the town to defend 1t. The military
advisers were against 1t, but he was
sdamant
Il myself will go to Przemysl," he
said, "and address the troops we are
10 leave behind ! viii gather with
them in a farewell mass in the
Przemysl cathedral"
And so, In a huge limousine, heated
Ike a boudoir, he reached Przemysl.
His great car thrust aside the almost
endless train OF rough wagons, carry
ing the sick and wounded.
saw him pass without even look
OF pity sights that sickened even the
strongest campaigners among the war
cor ,spondents.
He rode, lolling back in his cushion,
decorator Ike a fool, while the calya-
cade Of misery was turned into the
fields TO let him pass
Soldiers stood at attention while he
was long distance away and remained
so, under the orders OF their officers,
until long after he had passed. Life
was all military rule with him; he
couldn't see beyond the soldier to the
suffering man.
Early the next morning he went into |
the cathedral in state, after II was
allied with the officers who, by his or
der, were to remain in Przemysl He |
came Immediately through the mud, in |
bis great, warm, lighted motor.
From the rear OF the cathedral I
could see him. His were the narrow
est shoulders in my vision. The back |
Of his clipped head was Fat, between
the ears.
When the mass was ended he depart
ed from the church. while the officers,
who were to be sacrificed, stood at at
tention. In his car, that day, he rode
back to safety. Within another q
hours the Correspondents and every
one else who had not been ordered TO
remain In the threatened town de-
parted
Within another day, the Russian line
had snapped around Przemysl, like a
whip around a sapling. and three
months later the Russians took the
town and all Of Karl's
100000 who had not died Of cholera or
starvation.
But it all gave that hat-headed, weak
chinned emperor-to-be. a few hours OF
ceremony which he loved so well. That
few hours Of glory cost at least co.
900 lives.
