'Av|ATORS
IN OMAHA
GIVE THRILL
TO THR0NC
Women Take Flights With
Plane Pilots Who Soar Over
City Performing Feats
in the Air. \

Omaha has seven new aerial joy
riders who soard through the
clouds yesterday with the Flying
Circus No. ? of army aviators in
Curtiss H machines.
These intrepid Omahans are F. W.
Judson, I. F. Folda, state secretary
of the Victory Loan; Samuel Burns,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Selby, Grace
Allison and Mrs. Anderson Long OF
the Red Cross Woman's Motor
corps.
The flights of these civilians were
incidental to the big show which was
given in the clouds by detachment
of the worlds greatest aviation tai
ent for the promotion of interest
in the Victory Loan campaign.
The new Ak-Sar- Ben field at Six
ty-second and Center streets was
transformed into a busy scene
yesterday morning when mechani-
clans and pilots began getting their
Curtiss HIS, French Spads, British
SE-5's and German Fokkers into ac-
tion. Nine railroad baggage cars
were parked on a sidetrack about
half mile away and the planes were
hauled to the field on large platform
wagons.
Judson First to Fly.
Every vantage point around the
field was occupied by pedestrians
and automobiles. Military police
handled the traffic situation.
Much interest was aroused by the
announcement that several promi-
nent local men and women would
receive their aerial baptism. Lieut..
H. C. Roberts was the first pilot to
take the air with Curtiss H. He
reported that the clouds were at a
l.500-foot level, which prevented
some of the thrillers he would like
to have performed.
F. w. Judson, prominent Omaha
business and society man. was the
first civilian applicant for flight.
He signed the necessary document,
giving directions where to send his
body, and then donned his aerial
clothes. He got away with Lieut..
j. j. NNdSnCl d. lO.OO did was sOiiS
about 20 minutes. Samuel Burns bid
him a tender farewell. Pilot Wag-
ner, looped the loop four times with
Mr. Judson and then finished up
with a tail spin which seemed to
bring the plane to about 100 feet
from the ground.
When Mr.. Judson stepped out of
the machine he tried to appear like
regular ace, but he was a trifle
pale.
"When I was up there" he said,
Il thought | could see all the cem-
eteries in Omaha. | know | counted
four. | did not mind the loops, but
that tail spin-say, boy,-did you
ever take tail spin in an aero
planet"
"Say, Frank, I've got something
in a bottle over there in my car,
said a sympathetic friend.
Mr.. Judson regained his aplomb
and then walked around the field.
E. F. Folda was the next man to
take flyer with Pilot Roberts. He

Omaha Speed Demon Held to
County Insanity Board

Antoine Nemic. Omaha's sensa-
tional demon, will not have chance
to drive an automobile again. Iowa
authorities released him yesterday
afternoon and permitted his friends
to take him to Omaha for the pur-
pose of having him brought before
the Douglas County Insanity COM
mission.
Urged to explain the motive for
his wild ride through the Council
Bluffs and seizure of a Rock Island
locomotive, he uttered few words,
spaced by intervals of a minute or
more, saying he had to hurry to
Washington to enter the navy and
expected to drive his car there in a
few hours. His purpose, he added,
when he boarded the locomotive
was to back the train off the street
crossing it was blocking, but when
he got on the engine he concluded
to run the train to San Francisco
and enter the navy there.

Peace Congress Acts As
Unit On World Document
EX-KAISER TO BE
TRIED BY COURT
OF FIVE JUDGES
Associated Governments Will
Request Holland to Give Up
Former Emperor.

Washington, April 2S.-Although
the peace conference today failed
to take up the question of respon-
sibility for the war officials here
were unanimous tonight in the be-
lief that the peace treaty as>deliv-
cred to the German plenipotentiar-
les will cali for the trial of William
Hohenzollern, former emperor OF
Germany. before a court of the as
sociated powers.
Trial of the former emperor for
"a supreme offense against inter
national morality and the sanctity
of the treaties" the state depart
ment announced today had been in
cluded in the recommendations OF
the peace conference commission
on responsibility. These questions
are embodied in four articles which
were made public before the state
department without comment and
which the commission proposes to
insert in the final treaty.
Court of Five.
The articles specify that the for
mer emperor is not to be tried for
an offense against criminal law
and that the international court
shall be composed of five judges ap-
pointed by Great Britain, United
States, Japan, Italy and France. 1t
is further provided that the asso-
ciated governments shall request
Holland to deliver up the former
emperor. ..........
The commissions recommenda-
tions also provide that all persons
accused of acts in violation of the
international rules of warfare shall
be brought before international
tribunals.
Some officials today said this pro-
vision would bring before the as
sociated governments other men,
bers of the house of Hohenzol1ern
and such other leaders of extreme
German militarism and cruelty as
General Won Bissing, military gov
ernor of Belgium, and Admiral Won
Tirpitz, who conceived and advo-
Gated the submarine campaign

President Explains Draft Of
Covenant Before Adoption
American Executive Calls Attention to Hopes Enter
tanned as to Effect of New League Upon Steadying
Affairs of the World, Only few Instances Where
Less Than Majority of All Members Required.

Paris, April 2S.-(By Associated
Press.)-Following is the text of
President Wilson's speech before
the plenary session of the peace con-
ference today:
"Mr. President: When the text of
the covenant of the league of ma
tons was last laid before you, | had
the honor of reading the covenant.
| will not detain you today to read
the covenant as it has now been
altered, but will merely take the lib
erty of explaining to you some of
the alterations that have been made.
"The report of the commission
has been circulated. You yourselves
have in hand the text of the cove
nant, and will no doubt have no.
ticed that most of the changes that
have been made are mere changes of
phraseology not changes of sub
stance, and that, besides that, most
of the changes are intended to clar-
ify the document, or, rather, to make
explicit what we all have assumed,
was implicit in the document as it
was originally presented to you. But
! shall take the liberty of calling
your attention to the new features,
such as they are. Some of them are
considerable; the rest trivial.
(Here the president summarized
the changes made in the covenant of
the league of nations, already Off
cially announced and published).

portunity to move the following
resolutions in order to carry out
the provisions of the covenant YOU

vides that the first secretary gen.
eral shall be chosen by this confer
ence. 1t also provides that the first
choice of the four members states
who are to be added to the FIVE
tgreat powers on the council is left
to this Conference.
81 move, therefore, that the frs,
secretary general of the council
shall be the honorable Sir James

also said reduction of operating cost
would be affected without a reduc-

HICKORY SMOKED HAMS
Why Burn Cords of Wood When
a Toasted Hickory Stick viii
Furnish Plenty of Smoke.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
EF YOU have never eaten a peanut
ham smoked with hickory, you
have never eaten ham. The south
ern hog growers have a wonderful OPP
portunity to supply the world with this
most delicious product.
II saw a scheme down in Birming-
ham the other day." says Mr.. Frank
Baackes of the American Steel & Wire
Co." which will probably revolutionize
the whole packing business so far as
curing hams and bacon is concerned
The old smoke house method was
to get few cords Of hickory wood and
build s.audge fire but the new idea
is to merely toast q piece of hickory
wood and drive the smoke into dou-
BILE chamber where it is claimed THAI
the same degree of curing can be done
in twenty-four hours that used to take
a week.
THE economy in wood recommends
the plan and it seeEas odd that nobody
ever thought of it before"
