Victory Loan
Notes
Victory Loan

Omaha is again to be visited by
the Flying Squadron.
In former Liberty loan drives and
Red Cross work the efforts OF these
squadrons have given momentum to
the drives, and this time the squad
ron's momentous efforts will be d.
rected to fastening the Victory ship
on the court house in its course.
The squadron is to be composed
exclusively of the pupils of Omaha
high schools, which include Central
High school, South Side High,
Creighton High, Benson and the
Commercial High schools; and it is
to be known as the Flying Squadron,
as in former campaigns.
The South Side High is already
primed for the work. Thursday
afternoon their representative called
at woman's headquarters in the Ma
sonic temple for their supplies.
The following women have added
their names to the $1,000 club for
the Victory drive:

His Letter
ByGRACEHAZARD CONKLING
Beyond the steel and the fire
Cleans the old desire.

Beyond the steel and the fire
Cleans the old desire.
War has not taken wonder away
More poignant where its lightnings
play.
The appeal Of beauty's lonely cryl
l shall go dreaming till | die.
I see wind FURNISHED coin bright
towns,
And roads that shine across the
downs;
A dusk of forest and a line
OF light that silvers the design;
Always the Swallowed and the
bright,
A halo for the blacklist night!
Islands where I have never beenl
The rainbow topping down the
green
OF tilted sea that rack a ship:
The molten lava streams that slip
From fiery crater rims and fill
The dark with rose and daffodil;
Lakes mountain hid and spiritual
The undiscovered waterfall
Like a white feather through the
trees,
The undiscovered bird in these
Singing, always alone, alone,
The lovely voice of the unknown
This is Romance chameleon clad
That called me when | was lad,
That calls me now to follow we'll
Through blighted Picardy to hell,
Through hell to some elusive bliss
OF new adventures after this;
To follow without asking why!
So you will know, if I must die
Upon this last and strangest ques,.
1t did not differ from the rest \
In simple wonder dark and bright,
A halo for the blacklist night;
And freedom like the unknown bird
Was a wild voice I had not heard
Was pure voice ! fought to hear
These words to you, my very dear

ACCORDING to a secret pact made in
France during the assemblsge there of
the peace commissioners, America is
to rush her soldier boys across the
Atlantic to bleed and die for France in
case she is molested by waring out
side nation. That is going the limit Of
recklessly sacrificing the strength and
youth Of America for personal lauda-
ton and glory, yet it would not look
quite So unreasonable if the bargain had
reciproaity clause one, for instance,
that would require the French army to
fly to our relief if Japan charged on US,
which IL a more imminent prospect than
that OF Germany or any other nation
nation lmping onto France.

Nevertheless he went to Paris. In dong
soohe broke a precedent. Presidents
are not inviolable, but the more we
know of what Mr.. Wilson did in Paris
and what he is now trying to do in
Washington the more we think this |
precedent might well have been kept |
inviolate.
Mr.. Wilson did not ask the advice of
the senate, which is the final treaty |
making authority of the United States.
He did net ask what the senators
thought. He did not take their advice.
He conspicuously ignored them in the
makeup of the peace commission
He went to Paris and became an iso-

that the American senate did not know
at any time what Mr.. Wilson was sign

There was day when senators could
get copies of the peace treaty by ask

could not get them from the admins

Now Mr.. Wilson, having asked for
authority to speak for the country and
having been denied it in an election,
having ignored the body he is com
manded BY the constitution to consult,
having spoken as his own will and own
preferences dictated, having signed
what he choose, informs the senate
that the documents so signed by him
cannot be changed because it will hu-
initiate him and break the heart of the
world.
} A lawye friend of The TRIBUNE has
written in to say that this autocracy is
, even more formidable than appears.
The treaties of the United States are
the supreme law of the land for the
various states. The third branch of the
government has nothing whatever to do
with them. They are not subject to the
review of the Supreme court. They are
the law until congress abrogates them.
Mr.. Wilson demands that the senate,
whose consent must be obtained to a
q treaty, abdicate and cease to exist. He
{ alone decides and determines The
