my recovery has been a surprise

"My recovery has been a surprise
to myself and all my friends, and I
think it is time for me to talk Tam

RELATES PART
U, S, naval Guns
PLAYED IN war
Admiral PIunkett Submits
Report on Operations Of
3attIeShip Batteries on
Il Land Mounts.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The part
played by the American naval guns
in the fighting on ths western front
during the closing days of the war
is told in a report made to the Navy
department by Rear Admiral
Charles P. Plunkett, who command
ed the batteries. The report made
public tonight gives a chronology
cal account of the operation of the
big l4-inch 50-calibre guns from
the time the plan to place the rifles.
originally designed for battleship
service, on land mounts was con-
ceived, to the cessation of HOSTILE
ties. .... ..,.
Admiral Plunkett explained that
the last round fired by the guns
was timed by devices used by the
gunners so that it landed within the
German lines exactly one minute be-
fore II o'clock on November II, at
which hour firing ceased.
Commenting on the work of the
guns. Admiral Plunkett said obser-
vations made by the German re-
treat showed that the shell craters
were remarkable for their uniform.
size and great extent.
Zone shot was sufficient to conf
pletely wreck a railroad line of three
tracks for distance of at least 100
feet, tearing up the rails, shattering
the ties and blowing an enormous
crater in the road bed" he said.
Traffic was completely stopped. not
only during the firing but from six
to 10 hours each day after the fir
ing had ceased"
The batteries cost $268o,970, and
with 2,400 projectiles, the total out
lay was $3,337,97 or less than the
cost Of two destroyers. The guns at
an elevation of As degrees could be
fired from the railroad mounts z4.2
miles.

League Of Nations Idea
Applied by Washington

London, Feb. 23.-George Wash
ington employed the idea Of a
league of nations in the American
constitutional convention, declared
American Ambassador Davis in a
speech at the Washington day din
her of the English-speaking union.
"The former colonies" he added,
(which Washington had led to vic
tory, had proclaimed themselves
free and independent states, as free
and independent of one another as
they professed to be of the country
whose allegiance they had shaken
off, and when the common danger
was over quarrels broke out among
themselves, which not only threat
ened war, but in at least one case
led to an armed conflict. 1t was the
constitutional convention over
which General Washington presided
that brought them together in a
league of nations and set up a
tribunal to settle their disputes"

Creation Of League Certain,
Declares Lord Robert CeCi!

London, Feb. 23.-Lord Robert
Cecil, in an interview with Reuters
Limited before his return to Paris
TO attend the sessions of the peace
conference, admitted that it was
absurd to suggest that the mere
signing Of the league of nations COW
cnant would then and there produce
a millennium, but il given a fair
chance, he said, it would certainly
produce a better international at
mosphere.
The unanimity of the confer
ence," lie said, makes it certain that
the league will be established as
soon as the peace preliminaries are
signed Almost everything except
the seat Of the league has been de-
cded. and no difficulty need be an
ticipated regarding the fact that the
decisions Of the league will, gem
orally speaking. only be binding if
unanimously arrived at"

Friction Develops Over U. S.
Immigration Restrictions

Paris, Feb. 23.-Serious friction
is believed to be developing in the
special labor commission between
the advocates OF the British and
American labor plans, respectively,
in regard to the question
of the freedom of labor to seek en-
ployment in any country.
Such freedom is directly opposed
by the American labor representa-
tives as conflicting with the PROPOSE
ton to restrict the immigration Of
foreign labor into America.
The American labor commission
ers were in consultation with the
American delegates to the peace
conference today, seeking advice and
instructions.

Especial Wireless Dispateh.l
Paris, Feb. 23.-The report that
President Wilson has been advised
by friends here not to return TO
France is denied. Nevertheless, the
mad act of the Anarchist Coffin
is giving Americans much concern
regarding Wilson's safety.
When he was here the president
took practically no precautions and
the freedom with which he moved is
temptation to mad notoriety seekers
and thought most unwise by many
Americans.
There is probably no actual dan
ger except from some half crazy
anarchist, but the attempt on the
life Of the French premier proves
the thought of danger cannot be
disregarded with safety. The presi-
dent will certainly be urged to take
more precaution for his safety when
he comes back to Paris.
The Jaures Assassination.
1t is recalled that Jaures, the
French socialist leader. was assassi-
mated by a member of the "Camo-
lots Du Roi," whose declared pur-
pose was to restore the monarchy
in France by direct action. Jaures
assassin is still in Jail four years
after the act. The reason is said
to be that the government feared

ADVOCATES ONE
STANDARD FOR
MEN And WOMEN
Rev. Mr.. Wilson Says God
Provides Penalties for All
Those Who Break
Moral Laws.

Yesterday was observed as
Health Sunday" in many Omaha
churches and the pastors preached
upon the Christian duty of physical
health.
This was done at the request Of
Surgeon General Blue and the
United States Public Health service.
It is part of the nationwide cam
paign to blot out social diseases.
Sermons in the churches are an inn
poftant part of the campaign. Ad-
ditional meetings are to be held in
churches for men and for women
separately and special committees
for work are to be formed.
AT North Presbyterian church yes
terday morning, the pastor, Rev. ].
Nj. Wilson preached special SER
mon on Personal Holiness and
Holy Living" ~
The Master, Himself, set the ex-
ample for holy living" said Rev. Mr..
Wilson. His was the life of clean
ness, moderation and manly vigor
The man or woman who abuses the
body sins as surely as though he or
she broke some civil law. For the
body is given by God to be the
temple Of the spirit and as such it
is holy.
Must Be Penalty.
God has provided certain penal
ties for those who break the moral
laws, Those penalties are as sure
to follow as the sun is to rise. Aw-
full diseases take hold of the body
OF him who transgresses the laws
laid down by the Creator. And there
is no excuse. For God has put into
the heart Of every person a con-
science which tells him when he is
doing what he ought not to 10.
The laws of decency and morality
are sure and the penalties for their
violation are no less sure.
"One of the dread features Of the
penalty is that it is sometimes Wis
tied, as the Scriptures say, unto
the third and fourth generation The
duty of every man is 10 keep him-
self clean, TO obey the laws of de-
cency and purity. The single STAN
dard of men and women is the only
true standard. What is wrong for
woman is no less wrong for
man."
