WORLD APPROVES
PRESIDENTS NOTE
ALLIED AS WE'LL AS AMERICAN
TO GERMANY.

Official opinion in England, France
and Italy, as reflected in the com
ment of the semi-official newspapers
and news agencies, as we'll as the
comment of all the leading newspa
pers of the United States. strongly
approves of the note sent by Presi
dent Wilson this week in response tt
Germany's latest bid for peace.
Meanwhile rumors are persisten
in Copenhagen, Amsterdam ant
other neutral cities near German,
that Kaiser Wilhelm has abdicatet
in favor of the crown prince, but
these reports are as yet uncon.
firmed.
The PRESIDENTS note was dispatched
Tuesday and reply is looked for
the latter part of the week or the
first of next Declaring that "the
momentous interests involved re-
quire" that he know ''the exact
meaning" of the German note, the
president said:
Does the imperial chancellor
mean that the imperial German gov
ernment accepts the terms laid down
by the President in his address to
the congress of TIE United States
on the Sth OF January last and in
subsequent addresses, and that its
object in entering into discussions
would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
The president feel bound to say
armiatice that he would not feel al
liberty 70 propose a cessation OF arms
10 the governments with which the
government of the United States is
associated against the central pow
ers. so long as the armies of those
powers are upon their soil.
''The good faith of any discus
sion would manifestly depend upon
the consent of the central powers
to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded ter
ritory
THE president also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the
imperial chancellor is speaking
merely for the constituted authori-
ties of the empire who have so far
the war. He deems an
swer to these questions vital from
every point of view"
London newspapers say the presi-
dents reply ''fulfills the hopes and
expectations of the allies in Europe"
and will put to an effective test
the sincerity of the German over
lures" Rene Viviani, former
French premier. says ''the note is
firm. without brutality; lofty, but
devoid of that insolence with which
Germany has so often accompanied
her trampling of the vanquished.
* Some might have pre-
ferred that it be more trenchant,
but when blood is flowing from so
many gaping wounds no man can
lightly answer with a simple denial
such proposals"
"The terms used in answering the
German note are a clear demonstra-
tion that President Wilson is aiming
at just and lasting peace" the

HANSEN PLEASED
With CADILLAC
ANN0UN CEMENT
Selling Prices Restored to the
Figures Prevailing Before
Production Rules Were
Made.

J. II. Hansen, general manager of
the Jones Hansen-Cadillac company,
is exceedingly pleased at the an
rouncement of the Cadillac policy
Tor the season of 1919. The an
nouncement which appears in the
papers today, accordig to Mr.. Han
sen, is remarkable proof of the
usual Cadillac policy of advising the
public exactly what will be done
and it shows that the selling price
of Cadillac cars is at once restored
to the figures prevailing just prior
to the production restrictions order
ed by the government on account of
the war,
The Jones-Hansen Cadillac COM
pany is one of the few dealers in
the United States who have Cadil-
lac cars for immediate delivery. The
Jones-Hansen people having alb
solute faith in the stability of Cadil-
lac cars, have kept on buying all
the Cadillac cars available, and while
there is great shortage of Cadil-
laos throughout the country, this is
not the case in Omaha due to the
fact that more Cadillac cars have
been shipped into this territory in
the past year than in any previous
year
The sale of Cadillac cars has been
constant in accordance with good
judgment on the part of the buyers
who realized the advisability of Sc
curing the transportation service of
a good motor car.
Cadillac cars of practically all
models can be delivered Immediately
by the Jones Hansen Cadillac COM
pany of Omaha and Lincoln, as we'll
as by the A. H. Jones company of
Hastings. These combined compan-
les have dealers in practically all
large towns in Nebraska and west

Walter Hoye Writes
Of Flying Experiences
at Ellington Field, Tex,

w. G. Frasler, 637 Omaha Nation
al bank building, has received let
ter from Walter Hoye, who, before
he entered the service, was promi-
nent Omaha attorney with Offices in
the Woodmei. of the World Luild-
ing.
Mr.. Hoye is stationed at Filing
ton Field, Texas. In describing the
training for the air service he writes:
CLOUD flying is one keen little
stunt. An instructor goes up with
a pilot; after attaining certain al
titude, the pilot is blindfolded and
told to steer a straight course for a
certain time, then turn to 90 de-
grees, 60 straight ahead some more,
then turn back and bisect his orig
inal course. Imagine yourself turn

parently impossible stuff into you in

patrol, photography and liaison. The

variety. The air forces are getting
away from the individual star prop
osition more and more and it's now
resolving itself into a unit effort
rather than individual.

WILL ORGANIZE
FOR PROTECTION
Meeting Called Here Novem'
Der 26 to Perfect Plans to
Prevent Wholesale Car
Stealing.

A convention has been called TN
der the auspices of the Omaha Au-
tomobile club to meet at Omaha on
Tuesday, November 26 for the form
alton of an organization tentatively
named The Nebraska Automobile
and Good Roads association.
Objects of the organization will
be to formate a plan of cooperation
that will become so effective as to
prevent the stealing of automobiles.
To promote the improvement of
highways.
To encourage proper highway
maintenance.
To procure the proper marking of
highways.
To urge just and rational highway
legislation.
To further all good road projects.
To protect legitimate interests of
its members.
To promote acquaintance, assocl-
alton, consultation among the own
ers of automobiles.
To maintain a thoroughly equip
ped and efficient touring informa-
ton bureau for the service of men,
bers and motor tourists.
Members of commercial and good
roads clubs are requested to send
two delegates to this meeting.
The automobile has now become
such an important factor in every
day life and business that it is con-
sidered imperative for owners to
organize at once for mutual pro-
lection and benefit,
The organization will endeavor
to stop the wholesale stealing Of
automobiles.

Tappet Clearance.

A backfre or pop" back through
the carbureter may indicate INSULT
Gent intake valve tappet clearance.
If the intake valve does not close,
the burning charge escapes through
the valve and ignites an incoming
charge in the manifold. The loss
of compression also causes loss of
power and the gas blown back de-
ranges the carbureting system for
the time being.

Strain the Water.

Sediment in the cooling water
certainly adds nothing to the eff
cheney of the cooling system, no
matter what type it may be, but in
the case of the pump system it is
particularly injurious. Sediment in
the water wears the impeller and
cuts the bearings and shaft. For
this reason water should always be
carefully strained as it is being
poured into the radiator.

Connecting Rod Knock.

The knock ordinarily produced by
a loose connecting rod is rather in
the nature of pound, and is most
noticeable at slow speed with closed
throttle. If the play is excessive
however, the knock will be heard at
all speeds and loads. This is prob
ably the commonest knock of all,
is easy to identity. and should be
remedied without any delay or
worse trouble will follow.

Ford Tractor Locomotive.

Henry Ford has another new
achievement in the Ford tractor To-
conceive. While still in the expert
mental stage, he believes it has vast
possibilities. 1t is a regular tractor,
with Hanged wheels connected with
driving rod. 1t develops enough
power to haul a dozen sand cars
such as those used in mining and
excavation work. So far, it is mere
ly one of Ford's playthings, but the
general opinion in Detroit is that

a section of this will make an ad-

The .uSoSlaV Problem.

lTnti1 the present year the racial anti pathies between Italians and the S1nvonic populations with whom they come into contact on their eastern frontiers and along the coast of Dtl- matia constituted an effective cle- lnent of strength to the Austrian em- prc 1t is, indeed related that shortly after the Italian declaration of war upon Austria in May. 1915 some of the southern Slavs who had not yet been cOnscripted volunteered to servo in tho Austrian arnueS against the Italian enemy
 During the last generation the SlayS have been moving upward in the social scale, and with that prog rcss their racial consciousness has been considerably developed. The fla \0rs thcv received from the Austrian government have furtlher helped them. Jt is indeed alleged by the Italians that men of Italian birth who wished for promotion in the Austrian civil service had to pretend that they were of Slavonic birth.
 The net result has been that throughout Dalmatia and Croatia q strong southern Slav movement has been developed. directed primarily
 
 DopuIation, and in the second place against the overlordShip of the Aus tri;ln~ c crmanS.
 Obviously, when Italy declared war upon Austria. it was her policy 10 trv to persuade the Jugo-Slavs to alter the relative position of these two anilnosities. indeed, the true policy of Italy was to try to convert the anti-Itulian feeling Of the JugO- SIavs into a pro-Italian feeling. That the Italian government as a govern mont realized this necessity of the situation there is good reason to be- liCyo: but it's hands were tied by the active agitation of the Italian Ire dentist party. inspired by the Italian settlers in Dalmatia.
 The action of these latter was in tcligiblc enough. For years they had suffered under an Austrian tyranny. At last their motherland had de- clarcd war upon Austria, aud they thought they saw the day of their liberation approaching. An their minds the idea of liberation was cS~ scntially connected with the idea of unity with their Italian motherhood. Nor could they at q moments notice shake off the bitter feelings that had been generated between thGm8lNoS and their Slavonic neighbors by a generation of rivalry.
 Consequently, the Italian lrreden~ lists energeticalIy demanded that the Italian government should insist as part of the price of her alliance With the Western Powers, on the an1lCAa- ton to Italy of d long stretch of the Dalmatian coast, together With pfac-

 At last the hard facts of war have compelled the Irredentists to modify their demands, and the Italian gov ornment has consequently been en- ablcd to adopt a policy which the wiser Italians from the outset saw to be necessary. We heartily con gratulatc our Italian ally on this NerA happy solution of difficult problem.
 This modification in Italian policy W"s approved during the conference of the oppressed nAtjonalitiC& of Aus tria Hungary which was held in Rome about q month ago Of ne- oeSsity the agreement could hardly be precise as to frontier details, though these may ultimately prove to be of critical importance But it did lay down sound basic principles. It recognized that the interests of the ! ltal1ilnS and OI the JugO-SlANS aS against Austria were the s;lme. TO both it is of vital importance 10 ! destroy the power of Austria. for neither Italy, nor Jugo- Slavia can he secure in free national life If the Austrian empire remains intact. The two parties therefore agree that they wilt settle their differences as far as possible by dividing the territ ories in dispute on the basis of nationality. This cannot in every case be done, because the two races arc inter-
 mingled, and therefore thc conference agreed that in every case where a minority is compelled to remain un- der the rule of another race it shall be guaranteed the right of it's own language, culture, and moral and economic interests"
