Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.)
John Anieszewski, butcher, will
never again try TO persuade armed
thieves to toss aside theirsrevolvers
and step back into the straight and
narrow path. He tried it and now
is at the Peoples hospital with one
bullet wound in his left forearm and
another in his left leg.
Anieszewski had closed his shop
and was on his way home when he
met two thieves.
Hands up and shell out COM
manded one.
Say now, look here, you two big,
strapping fellows have no business

"why don't you look for honest
work, so you won't always be
dodging the police?"
The thieves made no answer, but
each fired shot into the butcher.

PrOnunciamento,
REFUSES TO REVEAL
MANEUvERS THIS WEEK
Aim of Republican Leader to
Secure Democratic Support
of Wilson Still Has Some
Chance of Success.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

Washington, Feb. 29.-(By Chi
cago Tribune-O Omaha Bee Leased
Wire.)-"There will be no modifca-
tion of the reservation to article
ten"
In these words Senator Lodge, the
republican leader of the senate, re-
piled tonight to President Wilson's
latest pronuniciamento that he will
rot ratify the German peace treaty If
it should contain the Lodge reserva-
ton under which the United States
assumes NO obligation to preserve
the independence and territorial in
tegrity of European nations.
In view Of this deadlock there is a
rising demand by republican SEN
ators for an immediate showdown
on the treaty in the senate. 1t is ex-
pected that this showdown will ma
terialize this week and it may come
tomorrow, If the attendance of SEN
ators is sufficiently large to warrant
a move IN that direction.
May Change Program.
When the senate adjourned yes
terday the program was to continue
the disposition of reservations until
all had been acted upon except that
to article ten, the fate of which will
spell the fate of the covenant Now
that the president has communicate
cd to the democratic leaders his ir-
revocable opposition to the article
10 reservation republican senator's
are asserting that it would be a
waste of time to prolong the debate
and are demanding Immediate action
on the principal reservation.
Senator Lodge would not indi-
cate tonight whether he would yield
to these demands for an immediate
showdown. He has his own ideas
of successful strategy, which appear
10 have been justified up to date by
the manner in which he has ma
neuvered the democrats into greater
concessions that Mr.. Wilson had
said he would tolerate.
Expects Democrat Desertion.
The aim of the republican Leader,
ever since the, resumption of debate
has been to bring about ratification
through a detection of a sufficient
number of democratic senator's. He
is still hopeful that with only the
article ten reservation standing in
the way enough democrats will pre-
fer to desert the White House than
to shelve the treaty again and pro-
long the state of war with Germany.

The vast audience rose to General
Pershing as if moved with a COM

the greatest military genius OF the
twentieth century. His comrades in
arms, many of them now wearing
the habiliments of the citizen,
greeted him with old familiar cries
that he had heard so often ring in
his ears on the battle fields OF
France and Flanders, and there were
hundreds OF men in uniform, soldiers
and sailors who bore the visible
marks of the RACES of war, bat alb
attesting the loving esteem ir which
they hold Black Jack Pershing.
1t would be a poor compliment to
General Pershing to say that he
looked the part Of Americas great

the part but acted it, as he stood on
the stage that was crowded to its
utmost capacity with New York's
