Will NOT Give IN
Senator Lewis Says Z. s. Should
Stick to Wilson Points.
Speaks to Lawyers Club on
League of Nations Plan.

New York, Jan. Ex-senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, speaking
today before the Lawyers club in
support of the proposal for a league
of nations, declared that the Ameri-
can government in the peace settle
ment could not abandon a single one
of President Wilson's fourteen prin-
ciples without laying itself open to the
charge of perfidy. Germany, Senator
Lewis said, would have the right to
refuse to abide by the terms of the
armistice, the allies would be justified
in withdrawing from the peace table
and all small nations or aspiring peo-
pies fighting with the United States on
the basis of the presidents proposals
void be excused before the world in
turning from America.
1.-The peace was made by Germany
and her people on terms of the four
teen points proposed by the United
States, including the proposal of the
league of nations for future peace
said Senator Lewis. These were
adopted by the allies as their only
terms of peace and all accepted as the
basis by Italy, the Balkans and Tur-
key. 1t is impossible for the United
States to withdraw one of her terms
or postpone one or omit to press one
without giving Germany the right
then and there to refuse to abide by
the terms of the armistice in any par
tieular. She could refuse to deliver
her cannon and arms as agreed. The
people of Germany would be justified
in charging us with fraud on them and
turn against US and support any force
against our soldiers. The allies would
be justified in accusing us of trickery
| and withdraw from the table.
I THE very last and first of the cove
nants we made to Germany s basis of
peace was that all nations qualified as
civilized should league to prevent war
in all future. Justice demands that we
| hold fast to every covenant and upon
| our plighted faith, for which our sons
| died that the world of nations should
ever be hoiy-for this we pledge the
VOW of sacred Peter-'On this rock we
| build our house-and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it,

PERFECT SYSTEM
Generalization and Discharge
Machinery Runs Smoothly.
Work Designed and Directed by
General Wood.

Designed by Maj Gen. Leonard
Wood, and directed by him, Camp
Funston has one of the most perfect
mobilization and discharge systems
in operation.
Two casual companies receive the
men sent in from other camps or
overseas, one taking care of white
troops, the other colored. These
handle the preliminaries of a system
of sorting out that is like nothing so
much as the sorting and dealing of a
deck of cards.
The colored soldiers, not so many of
whom are coming in at present, are
turned over to the Fourth battalion
of the Depot brigade. which handles
all of their affairs.
The sorting out of the thousands of
white troops passing thru is a more
complicated affair, however. If in
small groups they are turned over to
the First or Second Depot brigade
battalions for discharge or shipment
to other camps. If there are more
than $50 the Third battalion gets them
for rehabilitation.
In demobilizing or breaking up a
unit, the men are first grouped accord
ing to the section from which they
tcome. The lists of men are sent to the
personnel officer of the camp, who
distributes them to the camps nearest
their homes from which they will be
discharged. From that office tele-
grams are sent these camps advising
them of the movement, railroad ar
rangements are made and the men
sent out. In rehabilitation. if Fun
ston is their proper discharge point,
the men are transferred from the de-
mobilizing battalion to the First or
Second, which are discharge battal-
ions.
In the discharging units all of the
final papers are made out, including
the final pay rolls. which are sent to
the finance department. There the
pay and travel allowance are figured.
In one building set aside for the
paymaster, the men file thru, receiv-
ing first their reduced railroad fare
certificate and then passing the pay
| table, where full settlement for pay
and travel is made in cash.
! At the depot, which is the next stop
en- route to civil life, the men find that
their routesaand ticket rates are fig
ured and card indexed. They file past
this counter, receive the memorandum
covering these details of their trip. go
past battery of ticket s2lfers and they
are off.
If the division or permanent camp
| organization has more than ten men
| to discharge it handles it direct. If
| lers than that number. they are trans
! ferred to the Third battalion of the
| Depot brigade, and then go thru the
| regular routine.

Wireless Communication Be-
tween Airplane and Ground.
AyiatOrs in Flight Could Talk
to Each Other.
DEVICE INVENTED BY BELL
Big Telephone Systems Sci
entists Played Large Part.
Delicate Instrument Excluded
Noise of Engines.

One of the important roles played
by American scientists in helping win
the war is now permitted by the war
department to be made public The
American Telephone & Telegraph
company yesterday announced how its
engineers after five years of research
and development had perfected wire
flight and between flying aeroplanes
and the ground and was able to hand
over quantities of the apparatus dur
ing the last year of the war.
AT the beginning of the war it was
impossible for persons in the aero
plane to talk with each other because
of the noise of the engine. Now thru
the device perfected by Bell engineers,
passengers and pilot in the same
plane may communicate not only with
each other but with other flying
planes and with stations on the
ground. The device permits only the
human voice in a conversational tone
to carry to the ear, eliminating the
roar of the engine.
Worked Out the Idea.
According to the announcement,
soon after Col. c. c. Culver, u :. A,
in 1912 established the possibility of
wireless communication between
aeroplanes and the ground, Bell sys-
tenn engineers and the scientists of
the western Electro company, which
IS the manufacturing branch of the
Bell system, began to study the de-
velopment of the idea. Such rapid
progress was made that the device
was practically complete when the
United States entered the war. On
May %, 1917, about a month after
war was declared, Gen. George M
Squier, chief signal officer. U. $. A.
called into conference with him at
Washington, DR.. Frank B. Jewett,
chief engineer of the Western Electric
company; Major Craft, one of Doc
tor Jewett's assistants; Colonel Culver
and Major Reece of the British army
air service. Doctor Jewett made such
an encouraging report of the Bells
progress that General Squier in
structed the engineer to equip planes
with the wireless device.
Was Tried in 1917.
At a test on July 1, 1917, at Langley
field, the success of the device was
demonstrated, and, thence all effort
was directed toward perfecting COM
pact, sound-proof and otherwise serv-
iceable apparatus for the planes.
These instruments were finally ap-
proved and adopted after a, trying test
between planes in the air and between
planes and the ground, made at

Women's Detention Home Is
More a Base Of Supply for
Dope Victims Than a Cure
L. C. Jones, Confessed Automobile Thief and Star
Witness for Police Commissioner Ringer, Els
corted to Institution by Police Captain Heitfeld
and Given His Allowance Of Drug.

That the Women's Detention
home is not only more a base of
supply instead of a cure for scores
of girls who are addicted to the
narcotic drug habit, but in open vio-
lation of the law men prisoners at
the city Jail are taken to the in
stitution by policemen to receive
shots of morphine, was evidenced
yesterday when L. c. Jones. con-
fessed automobile thief and for years
notorious dope peddler, was es-
corted to the home and given his
allowance of the drug.
1t was at $40 o'clock and he was
accompanied by Pc &c Captain
Heitfeld under orders of the chief
of police. Jones is generally ac-
companied by one of the emergency
officers.
Jones is Commissioner Dean
Ringers star witness in an automo-
bile theft case now pending in dis
trict court. He is dope fend and
we'll known peddler of morphine in
Omaha's underworld.
Accompanied by policemen, this
man makes visits at frequent and
regular intervals to the Detention
home, swhere narcotic drugs are ad-
ministered to him.
|, Told Story in Court.
Jones recently testified in district
court to the fact that he had been
given dope at the Detention home.
While on the witness stand he was
asked if the police did not allow him
to visit the home to receive NOR
phine injections. He replied that
this privilege had been accorded him
and added that he had been given a
"shot" just few minutes before he
was placed on the stand to testify
in the case.
Attention has been called to the
itregularity, not only to administer
ing dope to city prisoners in the De-
tention home in brazen and defiant
violation of the state law, which
specifically prohibits such practice
and provides a severe penalty for
the slightest infringement, but to the
