 en overseas are doing for the army waiting to come home and Miss Mildred Ballou of Riverside Drive N. T., who is now in France working for the Y. M c. A. in the leave area at Montone, says that a big part of her work is trying to look like the girl some left behind.
 T have looked like a wife, a sweet heart, sister, and mother" said Miss Ballou. Tt only remains for someone to tell me with tears in his eyes that I look just like his grandmother or his mother rin- law
 The 'Y' girl you see, is wise girl, too, who understands that this great big American army, the finest army in the world. also is the homesickest army in the world. The boys are longing to talk to someone. and someone" means mostly a woman, who will listen sym pathetically about the girl back home
 The "Y" girls serve chocolate and cigarettes and entertain and all that But, best of all, they listen. They listen and they understand. The Y M c. A. never did anything finer, in all it's hon orable and useful career overseas, than make it possible for a homesick Ameri- can boy to tell his troubles and his homesickness to a kindly, interested sympathetic woman-who usually looks like somebody he left behind and longs to go back to.

they saw an enclosed automobile in
the vicinity of the spot where the
unidentified girl was found mur-
Gered.
The officers said they lost their
way to Calhoun and on one of the
side roads noticed car parked at
the side of the road with all the
lights out. The officers inquired the
direction to Calhoun and the driver
of the car told them to go straight
ahead.
The driver gave them the wrong
direction and,on their return the car
was gone. According to the officers,
the odor of liquor was noticeable in

Because the war has not yet

Replying to an inquiry by Justice,
Day, Frierson said the exchange OF
the ratification OF peace was the

"If that is the test, why is It IN

Justice Day.
Mr.. Frierson conceded It was
omitted in the prohibition act.

intent it was read into that act"

Murder on Ridge Road Z
Is Unsolved Mystery

high forehead gives the woman a
look OF refinement; face is not full
and is of sailow complexion.
When found, the body of the wo-
man was lying at the bottom of the
gulch, 20 feet southeast of the
bridge. 1t was inclined on the en-
bankhent with head downwards.
The corpse was lying on its left side
and was partly covered with leaves.
No footprints about the scene
were found to indicate the body had
been carried to the spot. The right
cheek of the victim showed signs of
it having been chewed by some ami
NAL.
Hurled from Auto.
Skin bruises about the murdered
woman's face and neck together
with the ruffling of her garments
lead Omaha police to the theory that
the body was hurled from an auto
mobile The condition of the leaves
about the body was evidently caused
by the wind.
A bullet wound behind the left ear
was the only mark Of violence on the
body besides skin bruises about the
face.
The bullet lodged in the brain be-
tween the eyes, and caused frac-
ture of the skull five inches from the
wound, according to the testimony
of Dr.. G. A. Langstaff.
A deep hole in the right temple
of the body was caused also by the
bullet which entered the brain, DR..
Langstaff testified. The woman had
been dead not longer than 48 hours,
according to the testimony of DR..
Langstaff.
Many Theories Advanced.
Powder burns about the wound
shows that the fatal shot had been
fired as close range.
Theories of the murder advanced
at the inquest were the following:

Peace Treaty May Be
Issue in Election

are, it was considered certain on all
sides tonight that the result would
be to put the ratification fight square
ly into the presidential contest.
There was nothing to establish
definitely that he would do so, how
ever, and he course of the admin
istration senate leaders during the
day seemed to indicate that the re-
publicans would modify their atti-
tude, making it possible to clear
away the whole contrversy before
the campaign opens.
Plan Meets Favor.
They were confronted with the
fact, however, that the republican
group of mild reservationists, on
whom hope of a compromise was
placed, had served notice that any
further compromise negotiations
must be conducted with the republi-
can leader himself. The closing
stages of the fight, which preceded
the radihcaion vote, multiplied evil
dence of republican solidarity be-
yond the reservations, many deci-
sions in the parliamentary maneuver-
ing being decided by virtually strict
party votes.
Even among the irreconcilable
foes of the treaty on the republican
side the statement of Senator Lodge
was accepted with satisfaction.
Some of this group have said openly
they would leave the party unless
it declared next year for outright
rejection of the league of nations
covenant, with or without reserva-
tions, but they took the view to-
night that the situation was devel-
oping with satisfactory speed. By
the time the national convention
met. they predicted, it would be
ready to go further than Senator
Lodge did in his statement.
Want Wilson's Message.
The only expression of the presi-
dents intention was White House
announcement early in the day that
he would have nothing to say until
he sent his message to congress at
the beginning of the new session
December |.
At that time, it was said, he would
60 into the treaty. Senator Under
wood of Alabama prominently men,
toned for the democratic leadership
in the next session, talked over the
outlook with Secretary Tumulty, but
did not see the president.
The general belief on both sides
tonight seemed to be that any COM
promise negotiations will have to
wait until the sessions begins.

Riot Bonds Voted
By County Board

ers' league yesterday threatened to
enjoin the sale of the bonds if the
county commissioners insist on esti-
mates of $235,000 for restoring the
records in the register of deeds Of
fee, which, they claim, can be re-
stored for 100000 or less. The
S255,000 estimate is contained in the
$8l8,000 bonds which the commits
sioners voted to advertise.
Offer OF 100000.
Mr.. Harrop and Mr.. Elsasser had
both sent their personal checks for
$500 to the county commissioners
to back up proposition made by
the league to restore the records
for 100000.
"If the county commissioners ad-
vertise bonds of more than 100000
for restoration of those records, we
will enjoin the entire bond issue in
the courts" said Mr.. Harrop after
the meeting. "We will start injunc-
ton proceedings just as soon as
the commissioners begin to adver-
tise the bonds"
The county commissioners voted
to return the checks of Mr. Elsasser
and Mr.. Harrop to them.
Says County Competent.
"We can restore those records
just as cheap as you can and l think
a good deal cheaper" said County
Commissioner Mcdonald. "You
seem to think that just because we
are advertising for $235,900, bonds
for this work of restoring the regis
ter of deeds records, we are going
to spend that much. We are doing
this work by the day and we can
hire just as competent copyists and
supervisors as you or any other per-
sons could"
We'll, if you advertise for $685.
600 bonds for this work It's safe to
say that much will be used" said
Mr.. Harrop.
Nothing of the sort" said Com
missioner Unit. "We think maybe
the work may be done for $l75,000.
But we will advertise for the $685.
900 to make sure. The bonds will
be issued just fast enough to pay
off the force of workers from month
to month.
"The injunction will be applied
for just as soon as the county board
begins to advertise for the bonds"
declared Mr.. Harrop after the meet
ing. We won't stand for this"

Iowa Bank Bandits
Safely Placed Behind

One of the swiftest cases of the
Iowa courts was completed yester-
day noon, when the FIVE bandits who
escaped from the LIE Mars, la. jail
after fatally wounding the sheriff S
son, shooting the sheriff, and beat
ing his wife, and were later cap
tured by an armed posse near Sioux
City. were delivered by Sheriff
Groneweg of Pottawattamie county
to the warden of the state prison
at Fort Madison.
The bandits escaped from the lie

captured Monday noon. They were
tried Thursday and sentenced to
life imprisonment, and were de-
livered for confinement at the state

action from their escape to their

dered at her home, then taken by
auto to the spot where the body was
found.
She may have been taken for an
automobile ride and shot.
The body was disposed of hur-
riedly by the murderers because it
was evident no effort was made to
carefully conceal it from view
The murder was premeditated, it
is thought, and not committed on
the spur of a moment of hatred or
quarrel, because of the lonely spot
where the victim was taken by the
murderer.
These theories are being closely
followed by Washington county
authorities.
Familiar Omaha Road.
Information gathered from farm
ers in the vicinity of the scene are
that the road near which the body
was found is frequently by auto
mobiles from Omaha owing to the
fact that it is a short cut from the
Washington highway to what is
known as the fridge road" to
Omaha.
From this information, Omaha
police are of the opinion that the
woman was from Omaha. No better
spot along the road could have been
chosen for the disposal Of the vic
tim.
Alfred ]. Peterson, farmer living
two miles north of the spot where
the body was found, testified at the
inquest that the condition of the
body showed that the victim could
not have been pushed down the EN-
bankment, but evidently was hurled
from an automobile or wagon.
Lou Green, neighbor of Peterson,
who also saw the body lying in the
revine, testified that twigs on the
embankment were found broken as
if the body had struck the ground
ravine, testified that twigs on the
midway down the. slope and then
rolled to its resting place.

Sale of Another Girl

With the arrest last night of Mary
and John Damato, gypsies, Thir-
teenth and Douglas streets, the al
legged sale of another gypsy girl was
brought to light. According to the
story Mary Damato told Detectives
Haze and Danbaum, she was sold to
Damato four months ago for $1,000
by her father, whom police are new
trying to locate.
The fact that Mary was sold to
John was admitted by Mrs. Mary
Damato, mother of John Damato.
The money was paid by Mrs. Henry
Darlato, according to the story told
the police.
Mary told the police that Mrs.
Damato beat her nearly every day
and that she could not stand it any
longer and left her husband yester-
day. She also said that they had
agreed that she be resold to her
father, who was last heard from in
St. Louis.
Damato is being held for investl-
cation and is charged with vagrancy.
