One Hope Remains.
One hope remains for the talked
of "wet spell" before prohibition be-
comes effective by constitutional
amendment in january.
It is that the German peace treaty
may be ratified, and that the Presi-
dent may declare peace and demobili- !
zation Of the army and navy. Some
lega, experts contend that would
automatically annul the wartime pro
hibition law.
But there is a legal question in.
volved as to whether the ratification
of the treaty with Germany alone
will accomplish that end. The war
time prohibition act was passed at a
time when the United States was al
war with both Germany and Austria
Hungary. r *ilities, however, act
4ally had ceaA 5. Some law officers
here are inclined to believe that it
may not be ended until both treatie:
are ratified.
On the other hand, friends Of the
administration who profess to kno"
it's plans say they expect to see the
wartime prohibition ban lifted by
Presidential proclamation as soon as
the German treaty is ratified.
The House was in an uproar whel
the Presidents message was read
| Members were standing in all part
of the chamber, many clamoring fol
| recognition, but Chairman Volstead
| of the judiciary committee which
framed the bill, was given the floor
| AS custodian of the measure, n

be deferred until Thursday. What
he was trying to say could not be
heard for there was general hubbub
and members swarmed in front Of thu
speakers stand exactly after the
manner of an excited crowd at
race track betting ring. Finally
shout that the House was not in orde
helped quiet the situation.
The hubbub and the wrangle kept
going while Republican Leader Mon
dell, demanding the right to be heart
ahead of fifty others who were try
ing to catch the speakers eye, fnall!!
got the floor, told how the prohibition
bill affected the welfare of all tht
people, which made it necessary tina

was made after Chairman Volstea'
had asked unanimous consent to with
draw his motion. There were man.
motions after that and number O.
roll calls until the final vote wa
taken at T o'clock.

OMAHA WESTERN
.LEACUERS TRIM
ARM0uR'S SEM|S
Dygert, Packers Center Field
er Stars in Game, Making
Over rs Per Cent. of the
Total Put-OutS.

Managers Jackson and Williams
of the Omaha Western League club
and the Armour semi-pro club gave
their men a thorough tryout in all
exhibition game at Rourke Park
Yesterday afternoon. For seven
innings It looked like the semi-pros
would be the winners, but in the
eighth, Bills youngsters took to
hitting and batted out four runs,
which, with the Gle they had, scored
in the sixth inning, gave them 5
to victory.
The Leaguers started with Fuhr
in the box and Corderman behind
the bat. In the sixth inning, they
were replaced by Kopp on the
mound and Hale receiving. The
Armours used three pitchers, start
ing Hayes, using Dyke in the fifth
and replacing Dyke with Potach in
the seventh frame. Fuhr did the
better work for the Rourkes and
Hayes excelled for the Packers
team. In the eighth inning, Hazen
replaced Bashang in left field and
performed creditably.
The individual star of the game
was one of the Armour outhelders,
Dygert, who gathered in seven
fly ball outputs. AS the Omaha
team only batted eight innings, this
gives Dygert credit for more than
rs per cent of the put-outs made by
his entire team. Jim Collins of the
Armour squad warmed the bench
throughout the game as did Kranda
of the Rourkes. Manske was not
used on the mound for the reason
that he is recovering from the ef-
fects of boil on his neck.
The nearest thing to an extra
base hit was made by Shag Thomp-
son. He lined one to center field.
Dygert misjudged the ball and it got
by him through his legs and Thomp-
son raced to third base before he
was stopped by coachers. He
scored on a fly ball, caught by
Graves in right field, hit by Donica.
Arrangements have been made for
another game between these teams
for next Sunday. There may be a
Saturday game also. Only about
800 fans braved the cool breezes to
see yesterdays game, but those that
were there were we'll pleased with
the exhibition.

TWO BIG EVENTS
OF MAT GAME FOR
MAY,0MAHACARD
Pesek- Cutler in First Show
on May II and Stecher.LeWis
Match Will Be Staged
Later in Month.

Saturday. Gene Melady ANNOUNCED
1l,at Joe Stecher and Stranger Lew
is would probably meet i'll the
Omaha. auditorium in a finish match
May Is. Later in the day, Jack
Lewis announced that John Pesek
and Charley Cutler would meet May
Y in the same hall. AS there IS a
rule that the auditorium can not be
used for the same sort OF show
within two weeks of a previous
date, it looks like Gene will have to
set another date.
With his brother Anton, Joe
Stecher was in town last Friday, and
posted his $500 forfeit for the
match and Melady says he expects
Lewis to forward his money very
soon. A May 90 date, one week la
ter than the original time set for
the match, would make an entirely
satisfactory state of affairs for all
concerned. This would put the Me
lady show over two weeks past The
Lewis entertainment, and the local
fans would be just about ready for
another big event after the Pcsek-
Cutler fray.
The promoter OF the first show,
Jack Lewis, already has his men
signed up, Mart Slattery, manager
of Pesek closing the deal Saturday
afternoon. Cutler, after Frank
Gotch's retirement, was considered
the heavyweight champion of Amer
lea. Joe Stecher won the honors
from Cutler and subsequently lost
TO Lewis and Zbyszko. Stecher's
showing against Cutler virtually
made him the great card in the
wrestling game that he is today,
and if John Pesek can do as we'll
against the Chicagoan. and Stecher
can down Lewis, the logical match
will be 'Stecher- Pesek engagement.
His brother Anton is Joe's man
agcr and Friday he announced that
he would sign Joe to meet Pesek
here some time during the summer
months. He doesn't want d Pesek
match during the spring, for he
thinks the bout would draw such
tremendous house that the auditor
ium wouldn't hold the fans. Later.
when the weather is warm, Stech-
er-Pesek match could be held il the
open air at Rourke Park, in which
Lace about FIVE times the number
Of people could be crowded il as
could get in the auditorium. Both
wrestlers being Ne aska men, the
match would draw from all parts of
the state, and it is likely that even
Rourke park would be taxed to the
limit.

N ANY GERMANS
LOSE 20 PER CENT
IN Their WEIGHT .
Medical Investigations From
Neutral Countries Find
Teuton People Suffering
From MaInutrition.

Berlin, April 15,--By Associated
Press. - Representatives Of the
medical faculties OF number
of Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and
Dutch universities have issued
memorandum summarizing the re-
suits OF their Investigations of the
Mood situation in large German cities
at the request OF German officials.
The neutral observers confined
their observations to Berlin, Halle
and Dresden and reached the con-
clusion that the volume of foodstuffs
provided for by the Brussels agree
ment is not sufficient to meet exist
ing demands. sufiicing only to keep
up the present deficiency instead Of
permitting rational building up OF
the physical condition of the popu-
lace OF the large cities.
The medical experts continue:
THE inhabitants of the big cities
indisputably are suffering from
malnutrition and as result are in
condition of hopelessness, detection
and irritation. On all sides persons
are met who lost 20 per cent in
weight and mothers seeking in vain
to provide the most essential eat
ables for their children.
Public school children give the
most conspicuous evidence Of re-
tarded development.
"The markets are empty except
for a few turnips and goats which
are mere skeletons. The public
kitchens of the people are able to
offer their guests menus that only
art a mockery. Scenes enacted
daily in these places presage a hun
ger revolt at an early date. The food
distributing organizations are col
lapsing on account of the general
chaos and numerous officials no
longer are able to cope with the
situation.
tuberculosis is increasing at
very great rate, especially among
the children, and it is of the most
virulent type. The number of Sc
rious. cases of ricketts, are multiply
ing and the fight against them is
impossible because of the shortage
ii. milk and cod liver oil. As re-
salt of these important shortages,
the doctors are desperately landi-
capped in their work"
Bee Want-ads pay big profits to
the people who read them.

grown the lightweight class and is
anxious to garner the honors in the
weller division, so he asks for a
crack at Reynolds, cor any one else
at 142 to l45 pounds ringside for a
side bet from $500 up. He writes
that anyone wanting real wrestling
match can get one side of it by ad-
dressing him at Minden, Neb.
Omaha's popular featherweight
boxer, Jack Lawlor, now located at
Chattanooga, Tenn, lost the popular
verdict to Johnny Kilbane in 10
round bout at Charleston, w. Va,
Saturday night. Some of the scribes
credited Lawlor with landing more
blows than the featherweight cham
pion, but they were not as hard as
those of Kilbane and not placed as
neatly.
When Ernie Holmes declared that
he was out of the baseball game for
good and would not be the hacker of
a ball club any more, the local play
ers and fans declared it the usual line
of preseason bunk that he was in
the habit of letting out each year.
Then Ernie tried to get rid of his
baseball outfit, even giving away
some fine catcher's gloves to school
teams, but, after all, the call of the
game was too strong and it has been
announced that he will have a team
this year if league including such
teams as Gretna and Plattsmouth
can be secured to take franchises. No
he won't have a team this year!
Speaking of Ernie Holmes recalls
the fact that he was called upon to
referee the Burnham-Pesek wrest-
ling match at Council Bluffs last
Wednesday and performed the duties
very creditably. 1t looks as though
Omaha was to have another star
referee.
Organized base ball received quite
a bump when the Baltimore Federals
won the suit for damages in the fed
eral count last week. The Feds were
awarded damages of $4,000, which
will be trebled if the big leagues ap-
peal the judgment and lose again,
making the amount $4,000. The
case hits the minor leaguers as well,
for the moguls have decided that the
minor leagues will have to help foo,
the bill.
