car across the bridge. Gaughan, who
was driving, saw the obstruction and
stopped. His assailant stepped on
the running board, yelled: You'll
never do it again" and fired point

In addition to being shot, Gaughan
was beaten over the head with the
butt of a gun. II know who shot

Cologne, May 16.-(Havas.)-
Cardinal Hartmann, archbishop of
Cologne, has requested Pope Bene-
dict to intervene in the situation be-
tween the allied powers and Ger
many in order to protect Germany
from the complete breakdown which
menaces her.
In his appeal the cardinal asserted

Berlin, May l6.-(By the Asso-

insinuations in the Pan-German
newspapers that the Ebert-Scheide-
mann government intends to sign
the allied peace terms, notwithstand-
ing their severe provisions, semi
official announcement was made to-
day that these insinuations strike
4 false note and that the government
is fully united in its intentions to
carry out its recently stated policy
of declining to sign the compact.
Reports that lack OF unity exists
in the cabinet also are denied.
The announcement declares that
there is complete unity between the
Versailles plenipotentiaries and Ber-

his insistence on wearing rubber in

BAKER TO
ADVOCATE
UNIVERSAL
TRAINING
Educationa|-M System
: for Youth of Nation to Be
Recommended by SeCre-
tary Of War.

Washington, May 16.-Secretary
Baker is expected soon to make a
public announcement of a definite
stand in favor of universal educa-
tional military training, with a
statement of his reasons. 1t is
assumed here that President Wilson
has approved his plan.
The plan, understood to be
favored by Secretary Baker, con-
templates the use Of the military
establishment as a medium for train
irg the youth of the nation; first,
along academic and vocational lines
and, as an eatirely separate and
subordinated feature, in rudimentary
military science.
The secretary's suggested pro-
grain is said to be based initially on
the benefits which will accure to the
country from the higher average of
intelligence and the improved
standard of physical we'll being of
the young men who would be taken
annually into the training machine.
Exchange "Guns for Books"
The favorable results of the
operation of the A. E. F., university
system are believed to have largely
brought Mr.. Baker to his opinion.
Not only have the thousands OF
soldiers in France shown great
eagerness to avail themselves of the
opportunity of exchanging gums for
books" but the progress made under
the specially selected instructors
and with the carefully designed
schedules has been so rapid as to
surprise prominent educators con-
rectcd with the work Moreover,
the comparatively short time given
to military routine had proven
ample to keep the individual soldier
in trim for field service should
emergency require.
While the secretary's announce
ment is expected to be entirely an
exposition of his personal views, it
is assumed here that his advocacy
of a form of educational-military
national training will mean the in
clusion of some such plan as basic
part of the military policy to be laid
before congress.
Reorganization Plans.
No announcement has been made
from the War department, but we'll
informed circles here are confident
the reorganized military establish
ment will be planned under three
principle basis: An enlarged regular
army with strong reserves; an ex-
panded national guard; and form
of national training whereby the mil
itary instruction will be entirely sub
ordinated to the academic and vo-
cational.
In the enlarged regular army, it
is expected, will come material ex-
pansion of the coast artillery corps.
The expansion of the national guard,
Secretary Baker has indicated, will
be along the lines laid down in the
y-Chambeflain bill, a skeleton or
ganization of 10 complete combatant
divisions being provided.

AIR men F R 0 N
Fl. OMAHA make
TRIP TO ST. LOUIS
Pilot Stevens and Party Dodge
Storm and Pick Air Cur
rents That Carry Them
Where They Plan.

St. Louis. May 16.-(Special)-
After night and day flight from
Omaha, balloon from Omaha
reached St. Louis tonight and landed
nine miles from the city on the Belle
Fontaine road.
In the party that made the trip
were A. Leo Stevens, chief instruc-
tor in the department of military
aeronautics at Fort Omaha; Capt.
Charles E. Mccullough, native of
Holden, Mo-; First 1t. Stephen l.:
Dowd, Fort Omaha and Second 1t.
Rupert L. Robertson, Texan now
stationed at Fort Omaha.
The trip is considered remarkable
by those who made it for the. reason
that they started for St. Louis and
reached their objective.
Dodge Near Cyclone.
The start from Omaha was made
Thursday night at 11:l5 and the
landing was made at 4::50 this after
noon. The balloon had a, capacity of
$4,000 cubic feet of gas and carried
900 pounds of ballast.
1t will be recalled that there was
a near cyclone Thursday night, and
lodging this and the static electri-
city kept the aeronauts busy. At
times an altitude of 5000 feet was
necessary to get above the storm.
After daylight this morning the
air tourists found they were passing
Grant City, Mo-, having crossed
from Iowa into Missouri at dawn.
Easterly currents carried them to
Winfield, where they crossed the
Mississippi into Illinois and soon
after crossed the Illinois river.
Guided by Smoke.
A brief view of Illinois was all
the aeronauts wanted, for they were
bound for St. Louis, and after
changing attitudes they found cur
rent that carried them south and
passed over St. Louis. They were
too high to recognize the city, but
knew the location, Captain McCul-
lough says, by the smoke.
Another shift in altitude found
them a northerly current, and they
sailed back over the city and landed
on the Belle Fontaine road between
the city limits and Spanish lake.

GERMAN MARK NOW
WORTH ONLY EIGHT CENTS,

New York, May 16.-Deprecia-
ton Of the German mark makes it
possible to convert one American
dollar into more than three times as
many marks as before the war, it
was pointed out today in an an
nouncement by the American relief
administration, subsequent to a re-
ceipt of message from Director
General Hoover, stating that a rate
of 1904 German marks per dollar
has been fixed with the German
finance commission, for transferring
money to individuals in Germany for
relief purposes.
"At the rate fixed, the mark is
worth approximately 8 cents, which
compares with the nominal par rate
of 23 cents per mark" says the
statement. "Thus the payee in Ger
many can make the American dollar
go much further when converted
into German marks than if the
American dollar was used here for
the purchase of food at retail to
transport abroad"

"The success of business and of

is promising because of the excellent
prospects for the largest crops ever
known. regret very much the
friction between the president and
certain members of the senate. This
feeling is not confined solely to the
senator's politically opposed to the
president.
Embarrassing Feature.
"An embarrassing feature of the
present political situation is the
probable action taken by the senate
in the ratification of the peace treaty
with Germany. The real test will
be on the success or failure of ef-
forts made to separate the league of
nations covenant from the general
terms of peace with the enemy" Mr..
Burton said.
"If the effort to separate the two
spells success, then a chaotic condi-
tion will result; if failure, then the
two-thirds vote will no doubt be OBJ
tanned for the ratification of the
treaty. An assured prosperity in this
country must wait for peace and the
settlement of political questions
now pending. There is every indi-
cation of the most prosperous sea-
