Omaha policemen, yesterday after
noon, demanded increases in salaries
ranging from 50 per cent to nearly
100 per cent.
Monday the city council endorsed
a scvhedule of salaries which repre-
sented large increases, but the de-
mands of the policemen yesterday
doubles those proposed. Not only
this, but the visionary demands of

firemen felt in the substantial raises
that Fire Commissioner Zimman
has endorsed for them and they are
reported now to be preparing to
make further demands.
we would like to give these men
all they ask, but the taxpayers must
be considered" said Zimman. 1--WE
admit that they are underpaid now
and we are obtaining for them sub
stantial increases which, in the case
of the firemen, worked out by COM
pairing wages of many classes of
skilled labor. This threatens to be
undone by the work of some cheap
politicians, who are not responsible,
to raise the money to pay these pro-
posed salaries, but who have been

law demonstrates With
Him; No One Is
Injured.

An attempt to take the lives Of
his wife, father-in-law and three
policemen was made last night by
Donald Diamond. 5l6 South Twen-
ty-second street, when William
Weston, 2024 Vinton street, the
father-in-law, demonstrated with
Diamond about taking the latter's
six months old baby into the cold.
After he had fred FIVE times at
his wife and father-in-law without
sadsing them injury, he awaited the
arrival Of Policemen Cooper, Bosen
and Neil Haze, upon whom he
opened fire. A running battle en-
sued between the police and Dia-
mond before he was arrested. No
one was injured.
Diamond returned to the home
of his father-in-law threatening TO
fire again and was in the act of
shooting Mr.. Weston when Henry
Bosen, police chauffeur, stepped
into the house and seized him. Dia-
mond then went into an epileptic fit.
Police have given Diamond the
epithet Of "The Desperate" be-
cause of his escapades in the city.
When he recovered conscious
ness, Diamond took his baby and
wife in his arms and wept pitifully,
crying: my God, what did | do7"

station and given medical aid, then

In like manner securities of coun-
tries which it is proposed to assist
will be taken for advances made in
furnishing them with foodstuffs.
Basis for Credit.
Some of these securities may be
expected to be valuable at no very
distant date. Roumania, for in
stance, and Serbia and Albania have
great national resources which af-
ford a basis for national credit. 1t
is not intended to pauperize the peo-
pie of Europe, but to furnish them
with food supply which they must
have to avert starvation, on credits
based primarily upon confidence in
their future development and, sec
ondly, upon the value of their ma
tional resources.
Many Of the liberated peoples are
within easy reach of food, if trans
portation facilities should be pro-
vided, which the council will arrange
for.
Seed and agricultural implements
must be furnished on some proper
basis SO as to encourage resumption
of industry and to develop a capacity
for self-support.
Local governments will be used in
this connection wherever possible.
Their influence, properly directed,
cannot fail to be OF the greatest
benefit in stimulating the peoples of
small communities to self-effort
leading to self respect.
Fat Shortage in Germany.
Very misleading impressions have
gone abroad respecting conditions in
Germany. It is generally rec
ognized that Austria is in a de-
plorable state, which is particularly
acute in Vienna. This condition is
not so obvious in Germany. Par
ticularly in the Rhine countries, oc-
cupied by allied armies, there is a
misleading impression of a food
abundance. But the reports of the ac-
tual condition, which the council
regards as conclusive, demonstrates
that there is dangerous shortage
of fats and essential food throughout
Germany and that reserves accumu-
lated under government supervision

The personnel Of this body is in
dicative of the importance of prob
lens presented to the world today
by the conditions of those countries
which until very recently were part
of the theater of war.
How serious is that condition can
hardly be guessed without hearing
first-hand reports of responsible
persons who now are returning to
Paris for Investigations on the
ground, as we'll as from study OF
statistics which have been gathered
by food authorities of the associated
powers.
The supreme council of supply and
relief, after mature deliberation, has
determined that no less than $780,
100000 must be provided as first
credit to cope with this situation as
far as it applies to the liberated re-
gions.
The three European allies have Of
fered to take their participation in
this credit and the council has re-
ferred this financial question TO the
treasury departments of the rdspec-
tive government represented in the
council for advice and assistance,
but it is strongly convinced that the
sum mentioned must be provided at
the earliest possible moment.

The council has also decided that
the revictuaIling of the allied nations

Precedent established in the relief
of Belgium will be followed 1t
may not be generally known that as
soon as that government was reor-
ganized at Havre, following the Ger
man occupation, Belgium assumed
liability for the cost of all food that
had been furnished to the Belgians
by the relief commission from the
very beginning of its work and that

DANGER OF
RENEWAL
OF WAR is
FORESEEN
Decision Of Council Means
Big Army of Occupation Must
Be Maintained on Rhine
Many Months.

London, Jan. l5.-The Central
News declares that as result OIL
the allied discussions in Paris, the
whole aspect of rehabilitation has
undergone sudden and vita
change, this being shown in the
drastic conditions demanded oil
Germany for a renewal of the ar
mistice.
"On authority of an unimpeach-
able character" says the Central
News, it can be stated that a situ-
alton exists in Europe under which
war may break out again at any
moment. The allied war council
has arrived at a decision which
means that the British people have
mistaken the appearance Of peace
for reality. This decision means
that the new British ministry must
revise the whole scheme of army
rehabilitation.
THE decision is that Great Brit
ain, in proportion to its military
strength, must maintain an army oil
occupation on the Rhine for many
months. IF the rapid increase in
rehabilitation recently announced
were continued, there would in a
few months be no army in France
to undertake the obligations which
by common decision of the allies
have been placed upon British
shoulders. +"
New Armistice Terms.
The new armistice terms to be
presented to Germany by Marshal
Foch, are unofficially stated here to
include the following:
First-Retributlon Upon the Ger
mans for the murder and i'll treat
fi1ent of allied prisoners.
Second-The machinery and goods
stolen by Germany from France and
Belgium to be at once given up.
1t is pointed out that France alone
has 100000 men who will be out OF
work until this machinery is return
ed.
Third-German gold, amounting
to more than El00,0O0,000, same to
be moved from Berlin to a safe
place, probably Frankfort, and pro-
tected from bolshevism in Germany
enroute. Certain other property to
be surrendered.
Fourth-Germany to give over
her shipping, of which she is be-
lieved to have 100000 tons, to
carry food supplies to countries in
Europe in need of them.
Fifth-Any U-boats on the
stocks to be handed to the allies
for their disposal, or to be Destroy
ed, and no more Submarines should
be built.
Seamen Demand Compensation.
In the absence of a definite policy
of the allies concerning the manner
in which Germany shall make COM
pensation for the dependents of sub
marine victims among seamen, the
executive committee of the Interna-
tional Federation of Seafarers has
evolved plan by which the officials
hope to force the peace conference
to act. The committee has called
an international conference in Lon
don on February "a, at which the
British delegates will present a reso-
luton providing that the seamen
will not man any ships going OF
coming from any enemy country un-
til the proper compensation is
agreed upon.
]. Havelock Wilson, president Of
the international Seamen's union
said today:
i have no doubt that the confer
ence will adopt a resolution provid-
ing that no food shall go, to Ger
many until : there dependents are
compensated"

WOULD DISCUSS
PEACE PLANS IN
SECRET SESSION
Decision Of Allied Council
Protested by American and
British Newspaper Rep
rentatives in Paris.

Paris, Jan. is.-The question
whether the peace conference is to
be secret or wholly open to the eyes
and ears 81 the world, the settle
ment Of which has been long awaited,
was brought to focus today when II
was announced an agreement had
been made to conhne information
given to the public to daily official
comrnunique and that a gentlemenss
agreement prevailed among the dele
gates not to discuss or in any way
give information Of the meetings in
the foreign office.
No written official announcement
of this purpose was issued, but word
was passed out to this effect and it
was followed by an explosion OF
protests, which drowned out the
doings Of the peace commissioners.
Protests Presented.
The understanding is that the
American and British delegates op-
posed this decision, but that the
French, Italians and Japanese, vot-
ing together, prevailed.
The British newspaper corre-
spondents Immediately joined in a
memorial Of protest, which they put
before Premier Lloyd George. The
American newspaper correspondents
united in what is virtually a round
robin to President Wilson in which
they protested in unmeasured terms
against the decision and reminded
the president Of that one of his IA
points which specifies open cove
nants Of peace openly arrived at.
The memorial was before the presi-
dent tonight and there is every rea-
son to believe that such a storm
has been raised as will force the
question before the meeting again
before the actual sessions Of the
peace conference begin Saturday
morning
No System Manifest.
The question Of whether the meet
ings are to be open or closed has
been smouldering for several days
IL is associated with condition1
which have surrounded the lack oi
method in making public what has
actually been going on in conference
for the past month. The American
newspaper correspondents, of whom
there are about 100 here to report
the peace proceedings, have beer
received in daily audience by ths
American commissioners under tbs
stipulated conditions that what wa:
developed was solely for their guild
ance and not to be reported as bear
ing the stamp Of authority or COM
ing from the mission.
