Formal Sessions Of the Peace
Congress Begun; League Of
Nations Up First.
MANY PLANS ARE PRESENTED
Amer,;ans Carefully Safeguarding the
Monroe Doctrine-Poland to Get
HeIp-Armistic Terms Made

States For National
Prohibition.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Unless the peace congress, which
held its first formal session on Satur-
day, changes its mind, the world must
be satisfied hereafter with such infor-
nation concerning its deliberations as
is contained in the official cOmmuniQue
issued daily. Possibly because of a
breach of confidence on the part OF
some correspondent, the supreme al
lied council adopted resolution that
the delegates shall not talk outside the
peace chamber Of the doings of the
conference. The hundreds of high
priced journalists gathered In Paris
from all parts of the world can devote
their time to describing the majesty
Of the Arc de Triomphe and the allure
ments Of the Paris boulevards. The
American and British correspondents
formally and energetically protested
against this rigid censorship. Later
the rule may be relaxed, otherwise
the demand for "open covenants Of
peace openly arrived at" goes by the
board.
In the preliminary work of the con-
ference the makeup and procedure Of
the congress were settled. 1t was de-
cided that the United States, the Brit
ish empire, France, Italy and Japan
should be represented by FIVE delegates
apiece. The British dominions and In
dia besides are represented as follows:
Two delegates respectively for Aus
tralla, Canada, South Africa and In
dia. including the native states, and,
one delegate for New Zealand. Brasil
has three delegates. Belgium, China,
Greece. Poland, Portugal, the Czecho-
Slovak republic, Roumania and Serbia
have two delegates apiece; Siam, Mon
tenegro, Cuba. Guatemala. Haiti, Hon
duras, Liberia, Nicaragua and Panama
one delegate apiece. The delegates
will vote as units. 10.

BOY ADMITS To
ROBBING CLARK
SPORTS HOUSE
In Confession to Chief Briggs
The Flynn Lad ExOnerateS
Pal Whom He Had
Accused. y

R. w. Flynn, l7-year-old burglar,
has confessed to robbing the Walter
G. Clark sporting goods warehouse
and exonerated former "par now
in the navy.
When first arrested Flynn accused
his pal" of the robbery. After be-
ing told his friend would be brought
back to face trial young Flynn
shouldered the blame for the af-
fair.
Police in their effort to convict
the youth have met with resistance
on the part of the juvenile authori-
ties and Wednesday were refused
permission by Jailor Sherman Clay
ton to take the lad on a tour of the
city to recover the Clark loot.
Flynn, after confessing to John
Briggs, chief Of detectives, agreed
to point out the places where the
plumber had been sold. Captain
Briggs sent Detective John Dunn to
the county jail to get him, but
Tailor Clayton refused to allow him
to leave the jail.
Latest indications in the case are
that the boy will be tried on the
burglary charge despite efforts of
juvenile authorities to have him sent
to the Kearney reformatory.

South High School
Library Enlarged and
New Books Purchased

Students at the South Side High
school will have the use of new
and up-to-date library. A year ago
a school library was established in
one of the smaller rooms of the
high school. There was such a de-
mand for library material by the
students that larger room was en-
ployed and a number of new shelves
built.
Now a system has been estab-
lished by which every student, when
he registers, is given a fixed place
for one period in the library each
week for an entire semester. Stu
dents in English and history are
entitled to a reservation for each
day. There are also from 10 to 20
seats reserved each day for students
who find it necessary to do special
library work. This system makes
the library accessible to every stu
dent.
Some of the features of the IL
brary< are magazine racks, paper
files and bulletin boards. New ta-
bles will be built for use in the IL
brary by students in the manual
training classes during the next
semester.

eminent Explains.

London, Jan, l6.-The Turks who
have been holding out in Medina
holy city Of the Mohammedan faith,
have capitulated to the king of the
Hedjaz, it was officially announced
here today. The capitulation was
under the terms of the Turkish
armistice. Explaining the delay in
securing the capitulation, the official
statement says:
The delay in bringing the garri-
son to compliance with the terms
was due to its long isolation, which
uecessitated our permitting the in
terchange Of special communications
with Constantinople and to permit
this armistice period TO be prolonged
locally. II was rendered incumbent
upon King Hussein to secure the
capitulation by arrangement and not
by assault"

It's really a simple matter for any wom-
an to merit this praise since beautiful hair
is only a matter Of care.
When your hair becomes faded, dry,
streaked and scraggly, when it falls out
badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots
must be vitalized and properly nourished.
To do this quickly, safely and at little ex-
pense there is nothing so effective as Pa
risian Sage liquid form) which you can
get at Sherman & MeConnells or any drug
or toilet counter. It's guaranteed 70 abOl-
ish dandruff. stop scalp itch and falling
hair, and promote a new growth or money
refunded. It's in great demand by women
Of taste and culture because it makes the
hair soft, lustrous, easy to arrange attrae-
lively and appear much heavier than it
really is.
A massage with Partisan Sage is a real
delight-easy to use, not sticky or greasy.
and delicately perfumed-an antiseptic IL
quid free from dangerous ingredients, and
guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp.
If you want good-looking hair and plenty
Of it use Partisan Sage. Don't delay

sures beautiful hair for years to come

A cosmopolitan group of pupils
gathered at the Armour night
school Wednesday and for almost
two hours struggled with the rudi-
ments of the English language. Boz
hemians, Poles, Lithuanians, Greeks,
Roumanians, Servians, Hungarians,
and Italians were present. Four
Mexican senoritas bowed and smiled
with the characteristic grace of
their race to their instructors. In
all there were $50 men and women,
and it was a coincidence that there
was almost an equal number OF both
sexes.
A staff of 10 teachers-two men
who are pupils at the University of
Nebraska medical school, and eight
women-was prepared to welcome
and instruct those attending. The
school is directly under the super
vision of Miss Ella Thorngate, a
graduate of Columbia university,
and who as principal of the night
schools of Omaha has been noted
for her efficiency.
In many cases pupils are unable
