The storm grew more violent in
central Nebraska as the night prog
ressed, and in general covered terri
tory from South Dakota to Okla
homa. All freight traffic was an
nulled and only a few passenger
trains tried to buck the drifts.
Grand Island Covered.
Business at Grand Island was
completely tied up. Soft snow COW
cred the streets in some places four
feet deep, making traffic, even by
motor vehicles impossible. But one
train entered the city from the
northwest during the day, on the
Burlington, and that was stalled at
York later. Drifts 10 feet deep
filled the Burlington yards at Au-
rora.
Fifty-Mile Gale.
A 50-mile gale caused great havoc
to wires. Communication west from
Omaha was limited to but one or
two single strands. Telephone and
telegraph poles toppled by the hun
dred and Uncle Sans busy line
men got the hustle of the year on
them to repair the breaks.
Practically all communication to
the west was broken except one
line to Denver, Colo, and Wyoming
points through Osceola, Neb. More
than 100 men were sent from Omaha
by the Western Union to work on
lies west of Fremont, where the
damage to telegraph poles and wires
was excessive.

AMERICAN
FORCE OF
s 100000.
PROPOSED.
Authority for Use Of This
Country'S Troops Wherever
Necessary in Plans Of
Society Of Nations.
BULLETIN.

Weimar, Friday, Feb. a.
Friedrich Ebert, the president Of
Germany, has announced to news
paper men here that the govern
ment is arranging the details for
complete disarmament and de-
mobilization.
Paris, Feb. l3.-The United
States, under the society of nations
plan. as it now has been amended,
will maintain an army of not less
than 100000 men, which, after
authorization of such action by the
United States senate, could be used
wherever necessary, according to a
Havas agency announcement today
regarding newly adopted features Of
the plan.
This provision was agreed upon
by the society of nations commits
sion, the agency says, as a solution
Of the difficulties in the way of the
plan arising from the American con-
stitution.
Pledged to Take Up Arms.
The text of the plan for the So
ciety of nations as first drawn up by
the peace conference commission
and altered in some cases at the in
stance of President Wilson was af-
terward amended, it developed to-
day, upon representations by Leon
Bourgeois, whose ideas are stated
to have been received by the allies.
In one case the plan was amend
ed SO as to provide that the nations
having membership in the league
should pledge themselves to take up
arms if necessary for the main
tenanee of the integrity of their re-
speetive territories. In addition to
this, it has developed, the commits
sion discarded the idea Of virtually
making the society of nations SUI
per-state.
Bourgeois Proposal Defeated.
The Bourgeois proposition for an
interallied military force to enforce
peace was defeated by an over
whelming vote at the hearing Of the
society of nations commission today.
The French and Czecho-Slovaks
were the only representatives voting
in the affirmative.
The final draft consists Of 20
articles.
President Wilson personally will
read the draft to plenary meeting
of the peace conference tomorrow.
The conference will not be asked
finally to adopt it at this time.
Japanese Rebuffed.
The Japanese delegation present
ed an amendment providing that
racial discrimination should not be
tolerated in immigration laws.
Several delegates urged that this
would open such a large question
that great delay might ensue, and
the matter was dropped without a
vote.
Andre Tardieux of the French
peace delegation, in an interview
today with the American newspaper
correspondents, said the society of
nations would be formed to protect
only the powers represented at the
Paris conference now. Neutral and
enemy powers would be admitted
one by one, he added, as they con-
formed to the rules of the society
and could be trusted.
