LODGE WANTS
ITALY TO HAVE

Demand Of Delegates Who
Withdrew From Conference
Upheld by Republican
Leader in Senate.

Washington, April 29.-Demands
of Italy for the port of Fiume. de-
NAL of which led to the withdrawal
of the Italian plenipotentiaries from
the peace conference, were upheld
tonight by Senator Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts. republican floor leader. in
telegram sent to Italian societies
of Boston.
Senator Lodge declared that
Ita1y's demands rested on the
ground of her national safety and
protection, whereas reasons which
had been advanced for turning the
port over to the Jugo-Slavs were
purely commercial and economic"
He asserted that inasmuch as Italy
had sacrificed a half million of her
people and burdened herself with
heavy debts in aiding France. Eng
land and the United States to repel
the German onset he could not see
how her request could properly be
refused.
The senator said he could not un-
derstand why arrangements had not
been made for satisfying Italy's de-
sire for military and naval control
over the Adriatic and at the same
time providing the Jugo-Slavs with
a port through which they would
have access to the sea.

Confessed Magda]ene Charges Ignorance On Part of
Authorities Or Protection Responsible for Traffic
Talented and Pretty Girl Drug Addict Tells of Horrors
of Dope Peddling System That Reaches From FASH
ionabe Dundee to Darkest Corners of "Hop Head
Alley" in City's Slums

She's educated, talented and beau
tiful, is Miss Ruth Clark, lo-year-
old Omaha girl, former actress and
today q confessed Magdalene, who
charges that either ignorance on the
part of the authorities or protected
vice is responsible for the shame
which has blasted her career.
Miss Clark is a drug addict. She
is victim of the drug vendors ring

men and women who are amassing a
fortune in commcrcializing the
shame and weakness of their fellow
beings, an unlawful business far
worse than the most notorious boot
Logging dive that ever existed.
Girls Need Protection.
But the story does not rest with
Miss Clark alone. 1t lies in, the
fact that this beautiful girl is only
one of its many victims. 1t reaches
out and catches one or two every
day and among the women, most OF
them are young and pretty-girls
who need the protection of society
and its officers and its Women's
clubs. Just how this system oper-
ates is a long story.
1t reaches from Dundee to the
darkest corners of Hop Head Al

trict of Omaha, and from the shack
of the "hop peddler" to the office
of certain supposedly reputable ply
sicians uptown. Just how many vic.
tins are in its clutches no one can
say definitely. That the list runs
into many hundreds and that scores
of girls, some of them with prom
inent family ties, weekly are falling
before the temptations designed and
offered by scheming vendors of
cocaine and morphine, is the state
ment of Miss Clark.

afterwaro was t. talk about his VISIT
and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got the Germans
to make conditions better in some Of
the worst hell-holes In Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
thing better to look forward to and
some relief from the awful misery.
Mr.. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and q man I knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me. but he put up an argument
with the commanding ofiicer and they
finally said he could interview me.

l was to see him. The picture is still
with me Of him coming in the door.
We talked for about an hour and .
half. / guess, and then he got up to
go and he said would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to me!
They let me out Of the guardhouse
and celebrated by doing all the dam
age to German sentries that l could
do. The men in the camps went wild
when they learned that Ambassador
Gerard was there. for they said he was
the only man in Germany they could
tell their troubles to. The reason was
that he was strong for the men, no
matter what nationality, and put his
heart into the work. I am one of
those who cannot say enough good
things about him. Like many others.
If 1t had not been for Mr.. Gerard I
would be kaput by now.
A few days after this was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When I fell l hurt my
wounds, which made me hot. Now I
had decided, on thinking 1t over, that
the best thing to do was to be good.
