TAFT APPROVES
BASIS Laid FOR
WORLD LEAGUE
Former President Appeals to
People of Montana to In
SiSt Upon RatifiCa-
tiOn Of Treaty.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 15.-"As low
ers of your country and as lovers of
mankind, / ask you to use all your
influence with our senator's and have
the treaties embodying the league of
nations idea ratified" declared Will
liam Howard Taft, former president
of the United States, here today.
Mr.. Taft spoke to the crowds at
the Union station on his arrival from
the east with the party touring the
country in the interest of the league
of nations.
Commenting on the text of the
articles agreed to at the peace con-
ference for society of nations,
former President Taft said:
1T is real league of nations.
1t is not all that l wished, but comes
near. 1t is a great deal better than
I hoped. 1t contains within its
terms provisions for its own growth.
Indeed, the exigencies of the Euro
pean situation in the sphere of the
league will probably require addi-
tional and more stringent provisions
in some respects than appear in the
present plan, but on the whole l am
quite gratified over the unanimous
agreement on the subject"

attorney, both teiephoning to Joseph
B. 1Uvick, a Lithuanian counselor,
who timed appointments so that the
rivals should meet at his office,
where he served as legal advisor
and mediator. Akron wanted to
bring suit for damages, and Palm
sky wanted to be kept out of law
suit, The result was that Palinsky
satisfied Akrom's monetary de-
mands with a sum, said to be $1,000
and Akron wished his rival and
Miss Navicky much happiness and
joy.
Akron claimed the girl by right
of conquest, stating that all is fair
in love and that he defeated Palm
sky on a fair field, but in view of the
circumstances he was willing to re-
turn to his farm and forgive and
forget.
Palinsky realizes that his dilatory
tactics almost resulted seriously for
him. Everybody in the case is now
satisfied and Mr.. Uvick declared he
is glad that he helped the rivals to
adjust their affairs out of court.
Both suitors insisted that Mr.. Uvick
should be their counsel.
Miss Navicky's address is S409 U

A marriage license was issued yes


A marriage license was issued yes
terday to Adolph Palinsky and Miss
Alice Navicky, both of the South
Side and well known in Lithuanian
circles. The nuptials will be OBJ
served Wednesday in ST. Anthonys
Lithuanian Catholic church, Thirty
second and S streets.
Another marriage license issued a
few days ago to Edward Akron and
Miss Alice Navicky will not be used.
All of which reveals an unusual
case of a suitor of long standing
being temporarily outwitted by an
interloper who pressed his case with
considerable gallantry.
Courted Her for Five Years.
Mr.. Palinsky has been keeping
company with Miss Navicky for FIVE
years, meanwhile working in one
Of the packing houses and saving his
money for the time when he would
settle down. He took things for
granted, but did not reckon with the
factor of the psychology of a wo-
mans mind. Miss Navicky wanted
him to declare his intentions, but he
did not do so until something hap
pened.
The event which caused the
awakening of Palinsky was. the an
nouncement last week that Miss
Navicky was to be married to Ed
ward Akron, widower. who had
known the young woman for years,
but who began to make love to her
only a few weeks ago. Akron was
such a Lochinvar that he took Miss
Navieky completely off her feet.
License Obtained.
The license for the Akrom-Na-
vicky marriage was obtained and the
time had been set for last Thurs
ray, the 18th. According to the
Lithuanian custom, Akron had ar
ranged for a wedding feast of fried
chicken and other desirable eatables.
Guests had been invited and other
details arranged, but
When Akron called for his pros
pective bride he was informed by
her and relatives that she had
changed her mind about marrying
him. The reason for her change of
mind was due to the fact that Palm
sky the lover of long standing, had
heard of the affair and had dashed
wildly to Miss Navicky's home,
where, on bended knees. he offered
her his hand and heart. She prompt
ly accepted Palinsky and annulled
her promise to Akron.

JOBS PAYING $4,000
A YEAR GOING BEGGING"

New York, Feb. l5.-Despite the
constantly increasing number of dis
charged soldiers seeking employ
ment, positions of the better class"
paying from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year, are going begging" according
to J. o. Winslow, director of the
professional and special section Of
the United States employment
service.
This condition, Mr.. Winslow said,
is especially acute in the export field
which, although flooded with appli-
cations from young men who desire
to learn the business, is totally un-
able to fill positions calling for ex-
ecutive ability and expert training.
Accountants, expert engineers and
banking executives are in similar
great demand, he added, while the
coffee and sugar import business and
the advertising field offer equally at
traetive opportunities for the fright

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. l5.-Nebraska

it has embarked on program of

These delinquepts were gathered

Love is the souls sincere desire,
