lust How Should a

Berlin, Jan. 25.-An infallible
method for determining whether a
man is of pure Germanic blood is
claimed to have been discovered by
the Tagliche Rundschau.

-provoke the risible faculties of fu-
ture candidates for Parliament.
If they laugh with the mouth and
the nose, patriotic Germans should
disown them. whatever be their plat
form or protestations, for such can
didates unconsciously betray their
Semitic or other un-Germanic ori-
gin.
If, on the other hand. they are OBJ
served to laugh with the mouth
alone they may be voted for with
out hesitation. Such men are Teu-

Rev. E. E. Stauffer Asserts De-

Martyrs Of Radi.
cal Leaders.

Deportation OF reds and impris-
onment of I. w. WIS and anarchists
are of no real avail in stamping out
radicalism," declared Rev. F. z.
Stauffer. president of Midland col
lege. Fremont, in a sermon yester-
day morning at St. Marks English
Lutheran church. Twentieth and
Burdete streets.
These people set themselves up
As martyrs to their cause when they
are imprisoned or deported," he said.
Persecution ever has fostered
growth.
Cur. Is Education.
"In education lies the real and
only cure for these government-hat-
ing propagandas: and the keynote Of
Christian education is brotherhood.
A beggar once asked Count Leo
Toistoy for aims. The count turned
his pockets inside out and said, Bro
ther. have nothing Instantly the
beggar responded, 1t does not mat
ter: you called ME brother
ITO Christian education we owe
all we have today. We are all born
savagcs and il, in babyhood, we were
put into the lap of heathen mother
we would grow up naked, ferocious,
selfish savages. Christian education,
environment and institutions make
US what we, are. H..
"Yet some people don't seem to
realize this. | picked up copy of
the Kansas City Times not long ago
and in an editorial / read these as
tonishing words, Every practical
man knows that the teachings of the
New Testament are too hopelessly
idealistic for the present age Can
yon imagine such All absurd state
nlent being made in the columns of
a supposedly intelligent newspaper,
circulating among the most ad-
yanced Christian people on earth.
Education, not force, will stamp
out anarchistic ideas III this and
other countries. Milton it was, who
said:
He who overcomes by force
Hath overcome but half his foe
Christian Note Feeble.
Not only in our secular schools,
but in many colleges and universi-
ties, the Christian note in education
has become feeble. Our education,
as a whole, has become too scien-
tific, too materialistic. The great
themes voicing mans relation to
God and his. fellow man have been
overshadowed by a mere teaching of
things and of how to get along in
the world.
"The world has advanced tremend-
ously in material things during the
last 50 years. Never before was
such half century filled with wond-
erful inventions and constructions of
things Of iron. brick and stone. But
how much advancement have we
made in the finer, higher, nobler,
more enduring things?
s"We must have great renewing
of education along the lines of
Christian godliness and manly broth
erhood."'

CHICAGO MOTHER
RUNSDOWN GREEK
WHO STOLE CHILD
Vigilant Omaha Woman Foils
Plans of Young Girls
Abductor.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 10. - Andrew
Frickas, a Greek, who last August
abducted l2-year-old girl and took
her to Omaha, was arrested here.
He was indicted several months ago,
but had eluded capture. The woman
to whose home he took his little
victim in Omaha, suspected some
thing was wrong, SO she locked the
child in her own apartment and
notified the police.
The girl left the home of her
mother, Mrs. Rose Anna Avgarez, to
attend a party being held in Lincoln
park. .Frickas intercepted her on the
way and asked her to take car ride.
By dint of threats and promises he
prevented her asking for help and
got as far as Omaha when his plans
were upset by a vigilant woman.
Since his flight the mother of the
girl has devoted practically all her
time to tracing him. She finally
obtained the address of friend of
his in Omaha and letters from this
Greek were traced With the result
that Friackas was run down. He
will be tried for abduction, a seri-
Gus offense in this state, more es-
pecially when the age of his victim
is considered. He was formally a
chef at the Blackstone hotel.

Berlin, March 1S.-The waving of
a handkerchief from an upper WIN
dow of the Hotel Adlon after the
departing Baltic troops this after
noon was the signal for mob at
tack on the hotel and was followed
by the firing of the troops on the
crowd, causing the death of at least
three persons and the wounding of
a score of others. The lobby of the
fashionable hotel, which is the home
of the allied missions, became an
improvised hospital, with patients
stretched on the marble floor.
As the Baltic columns marched
away from the center of the city
they were jeered by the crowds. AS
the end of the first detachment Of
soldiers swung by, the people on the
streets Immediately turned their at
tention to the Adlon, which is un-

representatives and other foreign

Out of Jobs.

Gov. S. r. McKelvie defended the
civil administrative code in vigorous
terms last night in a campaign ad-
dress to gathering of 500 men and
women in the banquet hall of the
Rome hotel. He compared the num-
Der of pardons, paroles and fur
lcughs issued during his administra-
ton with those. granted by preced-
ing executives, and referred incident
ally to good government, high cost
of living and state socialism.
The governor was listened to at
tentively and was applauded occa-
sionally. Yale c. Holland intro
duced the governor. The latter con-
tended that the referendum was
promoted by democrats who were
put out of business and he asserted
that the harder he is attacked by
politicians the more he will think he
is right and the harder he will fight.
Principles are Simple.
"The principles of the administra-
tive code are simple and funda-
mental and are easily understood
when properly explained, he said.
Those who ascribe attributes of
autocracy to it are deliberately mis-
leading the people and they might
as we'll say that our federal govern
ment is autocratic, because the code
is patterned after the federal system
of government, The purposes of the
code bill are only for enforcement
and administration of the law.

DIVORCE GRANTED
MRS. .I.G. SMELTZER
IN SAN FRANCISCO
False Accusation of Intimacy
With Rev. Mr.. Poucher
Adjudged Cruel.

San Francisco, March 19.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)-Mrs. Tram G.
Smeltzer was granted an interlocu-
tory degree of divorce by Superior
Judge George H. Cabaniss from
William G. Smeltzer, former mana
ger of the Savoy theater. She was
given the right to resume her maiden
name of Farthing. When the case
was called, her attorney, H. E.
White, presented an amended COM
plant in which only one specific
cruelty charge was made. This was
that Smeltzer had wrongfully ac-
cused her of intimacy with Rev.
John F. Foucher, pastor of the Gen.
trail Methodist Episcopal church.
Mrs. Sneltzer testified that this
accusation was made at the home of
B. w. Thorne, Los Angeles, July
IS, 1919. White introduced the
judgment roll of acquittal in the rec
ent $4,000 alienation suit of Smelt-
ger against the minister. The court
said he could not see this in the
light of corroboration, so Mrs.
Smeltzer's sister, Mrs. Della M.
Swesey, 325 Maple street, was placed
on the stand to corroborate the tes-
timony.
A property settlement having been
made out of court, the $40 month
temporary alimony already granted
was vacated and contempt proceed
ings instituted against Smeltzer as
a result of his failure to pay the ali
mony were dismissed.
Mrs. Smeltzer testified she was
married to Smeltzer November l,
1912, and separated from him Sep
tember 16, 1919.
