Woman Trusted Man With
Her Ring; Both Missing

Ethel Winner told police late Mon
day night that she was sorry she has
such a trusting disposition. She
trusted man named Fred Altman
with a diamond ring worth $3.50 and
Altman proved unworthy Of the
trust.
Miss Winner lives at $3.50 Capitol
avenue. She says she met Altman
yesterday afternoon and he took her
to dine at a restaurant on Dodge
street. He admired her diamond
ring and insisted upon wearing it,
she says. He'd take care of it, he
said. After dinner he proposed that
they go to the show at theater.
They walked up there, she says, and
he went in to buy tickets. He came
out and suggested that they walk
until show time. They walked. At
the Paxton hotel he asked her to
wait while he washed his hands"
She waited. She waited for two
hours, she relates. Then she told
the police.

Louis Hegelstein boosted that he

He also loved Germany even
while this country was at war,

He remarked that he would like to
get into the army so he could get
to Germany where he could get
plenty of drinks, she charges.
His devotion to liquor, she says,
finally lost him his job at Benning-
ton, Neb., and is now employed at
Spencer in Boyd county. When he
left Bennington he took along their
household furn .ure, she says, and
also $3.50 worth of Liberty bonds be-
longing to her.

Says Amendment to
Cut Heart Of Treaty

CONTINUED From Page One.)
this nation would get in any way
league or no league.
To adopt such a reservation, con-
tinued Mr.. Wilson. was not to in
terpret the covenant, but would
constitute an absolute withdrawal
from the responsibilities of article
10, and consequently rejection of
the treaty.
Duty to Accept Headship.
Instead OF wanting to get what
it could without assuming any
responsibility, it was the nations
duty, he said, to accept the leader
ship which the world now offered.
That could be, done, he continued,
without in any way impairlag ma
tional sovereignty, because no great
decision could be taken without the
vote of the United States.
The president was cheered again
when he said that the "only serious
forces" back of the movement to
reject or change the treaty pro
coed from exactly the same sources
as the pro-German propaganda pro-
ceeded from. He added that he
had no notion of rejecting upon
the public men who were aiding the
opposition, but he declared they
were pleasing Germany by their at
titude. Through certain channels
open to the government, he said,
he knew Germany was praying"
that the United States would stay
out of the league.
Division of Spells.
Every previous treaty, said the
president, had been a division of
spoils, while the present document
was IAN absolute remuneration of
spoils." Everywhere throughout the
world, he asserted, settlements had
been made on the theory that the
people themselves should determine
what form of government they
should have.
Through the, people, the president
said, he was appealing to senator's
to take a second thought if they in
tended to write into the treaty any
such reservation as that he had
quoted.
The president also discussed the
Shantung provision, repeating his
previous statements that the league
covenant offered the best hope for
China's interests. He asked his
hearers to make felt their moral
Judgment that the thing for Amer
lea to do was to redeem the pledge
by accepting the treaty.
