GIVEN WARNING
BY COMMANDER
No American Legion Members
May Take Law Into Own
Hands. D'Olier Says.

indianapolis, Dec. 22.-Franklin
iD'Olier, national commander of the
American Legion, declared that
neither national, state nor local or
ganizations. of the American Legion
have any right to take the law in
their own hands or interfere with
proper authority" and warned mem
bers of the legion that such action
would be subsersive of the principles
and ideals of the organization. The
declaration was part of a statement,
made by the national commander in
view of recent reports from men,
bers of the legion which. he said,
made it imperative that the policy
of the organization with respect TO
its standing on the maintenance of
law and order be defined.
"The American LEGION" Mr..
dOlier said, represents nearly
100000 citizens who have demon
strated their loyalty and patriotism.
We realize, however, that there are
lOO,O0O,O00 other Americans Just as
patriotic and loyal. We represent
the spear point. keen and true, and
back of us was the power Of whole
nation at war. Our effectiveness
against the enemy was IN propor-
ton to the strength of the country
back of us. And now we must re-
alize that the strength of the legion
and our influence and service to the
nation will be measured only by our
ability to cooperate effectively with
the l0O,000000 other loyal and pa
triotic American citizens n the pro-
motion of 100 per cent American
ism, and the maintenance of law and
order. We know that there is only
one way 10 maintain law and order
and that one and only way is
through the orderly process of gov
ernment and its duty constituted
agencies.
In times of need and emergency,
we members of the American Legion
stand ready as individuals, to sup

charged v ith the maintenance of law
and order, but always N
accordance with competent author
ity which we realize now is civilian

FORMER COUNTY
COMMISSIONER
IS SUED TWICE
Johnny" Lynch's Wife Wants
Divorce; Lawyers in Custer
Suit Want Money.

John c. Lynch, former county
commissioner of Douglas county,
was sued for divorce yesterday in
district court by Agnes Lynch,
whom he married March 90, 1919,
in Idaho, just after he was released
from the county jail at Fremont.
Omaha was surprised last March
when word came that Agnes Moran
had become Mrs. John Lynch.
Miss Moran was private Secretary
to George Brandeis of the Brandeis
Stores.
Reform" Him, was Gossip.
Some thought she was intent
upon reforming the former county
commissioner. Lynch was ousted
from that office nearly two years
ago as a result of proceedings in
stituted by Sheriff Clark. The evil
dence in the case was sensational.
He was sentenced to the county
Jail in Fremont for alleged violation
of the federal Mann act.
Mrs. Lynch returned to Omaha
some time after the marriage and
is now employed in one of the large
stores. Her attorney stated that
the Lynches lived together only two
months.
What Wife Charges
Mrs Lynch alleges in her petition
that part of the cruelty with which
Mr.. Lynch treated her consisted in
"wickedly and maliciously represent
ing after their marriage that they
were not married"
She charges him also with nom
support. She says be has consd-
cradle property and she asks the
court to award her alimony.
Stout, Rose & Wells, attorneys,
also filed suit in district court yes
terday against Lynch for $504 al
legged to be due on attorneys fees in
the custer suit filed by Sheriff>Clark.
The price agreed on when the firm
agreed to conduct Lynch's case was
$1,000. says the petition, OF which
sum $500 has been paid.

Prolonged Conference.
HITCHCOCK CANVASSES
SENTIMENT IN GENERAL
Whole Subject Of Reserva-
tions Seems to Have Opened
Wide, With Each Side Will
inq to Give and Take.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Compro-
mise efforts for ratification of the
peace treaty moved forward with
increasing impetus today when .he
leaders Of both parties in the senate
released from legislative duties BY
the holiday recess of congress, came
actively into the negotiations for an
agreement on reservations.
Notably in the days long series Of
Cancellation conferences was meet
ing between Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts,, the republican lead
er, and Senator Underwood of Ala
bama. prominent democratic advo-
cate of a speedy compromise.
They are said to have discussed
the whole range of possibilities for
bringing together on common
ground enough senator's to insure
ratification.
Meantime. the active democratic
leader. Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, canvassed sentiment on both
sides of the controversy and ar
ranged during the coming week to
see every republican senator who re-
mains in Washington over the hoii-
days.
AS soon as congress. reassembIes
he plans to have a general confer
ence of those who favor ratification
with or without reservations.
Reservationists Sentiment.
In his talk with Senator Under
wood, Mr.. Lodge had before him
the views of the mild reservation
group of republicans, who presented
to him at a conference yesterday. a
plea for support of the compromise
negotiations.
Notifications in the language of
the reservations as agreed on BY the
senate majority are understood to
have been suggested by the mild
reservationists, although it was said
the question of the language to. be
adopted would be left over for the
present. .~Redrafts of some of these
reservations have been submitted to
various senators by prominent re-
publicans outside congress, while
many suggestions for changes have
come from other sources. All of
these. it is understood, will be taken
into consideration as the negotia-
ton proceeds. 1t was not revealed
which of the IA majority reserva-
tions> the mild group would be will
ing to modify, but compromise dis
cussions heretofore have centered
about the article ten qualification
aud the preamble which requires
that the reservations must be ac-
cepted by three of the great powers
before the treaty becomes binding.
There also has been talk of changes
in regard to Shantung and several
other subjects dealt with in the ma
jority program. A protest against
the action of the foreign relations
committee in reporting Saturday the
resolution of Senator Knox. repub-
lican, Pennsylvania. to declare
state of peace, also is said to have
been made to the republican leader
yesterday by the mild reservations
lists. They are understood, to have
removed all possibility Of senate
action on the measure in the near
future. 5v serving notice that they
would not support it unless and un-
