Washington, March 25.-Ques-
tionnaires covering a wide range of
subjects have been sent to republi-
can members of congress and others
by the advisory committee on pol
icies and platform of the republican

The recipients are requested to
answer a long list of questions and

The committee summarizes the
prime causes of the present high

remedies:
Courageous but intelligent deha-
ton of credit and contraction of
currency.
"Avoidance of further credit in
Aation by discontinuing treasury

Increased production of goods
and services.
Reduction in government ex-
penditures and increase in public
thrift.
Revision of taxation as to basis
and incidence.

Champ Clark led the democrats

Incident Creates Talk.
The incident, which caused much
discussion at the capitol, was the
elimination of the anxious talk
among democrats resulting from the
failure of the peace treaty, the presi-
dents intention to carry the league
of nations issue into the election and
the silence of Mr.. Wilson on the
question of third term.
The democrats are all at sea on
their party prospects. They all real
ize that Mr.. Wilson is a tradition
smasher and they recall his letter to
A. Mitchell Palmer in 1913, in which
he said the people should not be de-
barred from retaining president in
office as long as they choose. Some
democrats feel that with the league
an issue the candidacy of Mr.. Will
son is absolutely essential to sue
cess. Others are convinced that not
even the president could win on a
platform of the covenant without
protective reservations.
Then are there those who recall
with alarm that Cleveland kept his

and an unidentified patient" to
whose bedside he was hastily sum-
moned were found Thursday night
in a Brooklyn rooming house. the
physician stabbed to death and the

The police advanced the theory
that the physician was lured into
the tenement for the purpose of
robbery and that he strangled the
patient" while fighting off his as
sailants and then was stabbed by
the man who lured him into the
trap.
The murderer apparently lost his
nerve. for large sum of money and

Recently Massacred
Within Own Borders

London, March 25.-Tartars re-
Gently massacred 10000 Armenians
within the boundaries of the new
Armenian state at the instigation of
the young Turks in the Azerbaijan
government, according to Arch
bishop Kho1n, an Armenian from
Erivan, who has arrived in London
to confer on behalf of the Armenian
republic with allied authorities re-
garding the situation in Armenia.
Three thousand persons are being
herded in Tartar villages and por-
tions of the Armenian frontier are
being held by the Tartars, according
to the archbishop. He says that in
December the Tartars murdered
$4,000 Armenians at Akoulis, in Az
erbaijan, on the pretext that Tartars
had been massacred in Armenian ter
ritory. The archbishop said also
that many massacres since the arm
istice were declared to have been
due to the fact that the frontier be-
tween Armenia and Azerbaijan was
not clearly defined.

Dover, Del, March 25.-The Del

Sessions today were occupied in
public hearings of advocates and op-

Ratification is impossible before

question here is whether women of

may, whether the constitutional

Mrs. Charlotte Rowe, principal

EYES OF NATION

Union.
By F. H. BARROW.

Washington, March Zo.-(Spec1al)
The eyes of the nation are on Ne

In what manner at the April pri-
maries will its electorate record its
sentiments of a favorite son who,
returning victorious from the world
war as a climax to a long career
of achievement, has been acclaimed
by the spontaneous plaudits of high
and low without respect to party or
creed?
How will Nebraska record its ap-
probation of one of its citizens, now
a commanding figure of worldwide
eminence-John ]. Pershing?
Missouri has We'd with other COM
monwealths in establishing it's claims
to him, proudly boasting of the fact
that Pershing was raised on a farm
and grew to manhood in the
"show-me" state. Wyoming, one
time home of the generals beloved
wife, has striven for share of the
honor on the ground that the NOR
tai remains of Pershing's wife and
children rest in Lakeview cemetery
at Cheyenne. Every state in the
union with the slightest excuse for
SO doing, has sought share of the
honor attaching to Perslling.
Nebraska Is His Home.
But Nebraska has been-and is
his home. What will be the manner
of Nebraska's public appreciation of
and confidence in one of its citizens
whom the whole world has honored?
The opportunity is presented at
the statewide primaries in the
Antelope state on April 20. when
Pershing's name will appear on the
ballot with those of Hiram Johnson
and Leonard Wood. For this rea-
son the primaries will be watched
with the greatest interest here.

FORMER FRENCH
PREMIER SCORES
LLOYD GEORGE
Stern Notes to Germany AL
ways Signed by French
men, Not Englishmen.

Paris, March 25.-A bitter attack
upon Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain was delivered in the
Chamber of Deputies this afternoon
by Jean Louis Barthou, the former
premier, i'll connection with the dis
cussion of Frances foreign policy,
OF which he had given notice.
M. Barthcr declared that the
British premier was in agreement
with the allies in the sending of
stern notes to Germany and that he
had been politically benefited in
England from vigorous policy to-
ward Germany. However, M. Bar
thou added, when these stern notes
were sent to Germany they bore the
signatures of Clemenceau or Mil
lerand, while when concessions were
allowed Germany the notes were
signed by Mr.. Lloyd George. Thus,
France is left alone facing Germany,
as the country toward which Ger
many must prepare her revenge.
France Not Militaristic.
France is not miltaristic ma
ton. There is no military Dictator

quests, but she asks restitution"

continued, that the United States
will finally ratify the peace treaty
which is rejected today. The United
States one day will take their place
in the league of nations, but mean
while the treaty, which guarantees
England, the United States and
France, is a dead letter. England
has obtained its security by the de-
struction of the German feet, but
France stands alone"
The concensus of opinion was that
M. Barthou's attack against an allied
government was ill-timed, many
deputies declaring after the sitting
of the chamber that his speech would
only tend to complcate a situation
already grave. Charles Bernard,
deputy for Paris, said:

the subject.
Miss Line explained that she did

increase of $400 year, effective at

$l,200 and the maximum at $1,000,

OMAHA AMONG
HIGHER PRICED

Washingtonians Can Buy Good
Whisky Cheaper Than Ne
braskans, Officer Says.
By E. c. SNYDER.
Special Correspondent Of The Bee.


Washington, March 25.-Enforce-
ment of prohibition depends large
ly upon the price of liquor sold in
the various communities, according
to an enforcement officer who has
just returned to Washington from a
Swing around the circle" This
Officer tells some strange facts with
reference to the illicit traffic in
liquor, one of them being that New
Orleans, one of the most open cities
in the nation, is paying twice as
much for "safe" whisky as New
York.
Iowa heads the list in the high
cost of liquor at $50 per quart. Om-
aha is quoted as paying SIS for good
whisky; Baltimore, $l4 to SIC; St.
Louis, $19 to $40; Chicago, $40 to
SIS. lower grades S. to $40 a quart.
In the capitol and the senate and
house office buildings, according to
information furnished the internal
revenue bureau, good rye whisky
may be obtained for $12 to $18, the
lower nSure Oelng concession TO
members of congress who voted the
18th amendment and the Volstead
act.
Southern states, which have
mountainous districts, get good corn
whisky for $6,25, but one must buy
IS quarts at time, as the best
liquor is not to be had in smaller
lots.
According to the records of the
internal revenue bureau the prohi-
bition laws are more successfully
enforced in New York than in Chi
cago. The confidential report, from
which the foregoing information is
taken, says nothing about the en-
forcement of the law in Omaha.

MOREHEAD Will

Secretary of State Reverses
Ruling and Will Enter For
mer Governors Name on
Primary Ballot.

Lincoln, Neb., March 25.-(Spe-
cial Telegram If some one does
not change his mind before morning
former Governor John H. Morehead
will start in the day as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
governor.
As far as the Falls City man is
concerned it has been an "on agin,
off agin, on agin" proposition with
him. Saturday a petition was fled
asking that his name be placed upon
the ballot as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for gov
ernor.
Monday Secretary of State Ans
berry received telegram that he
had paid the filing fee and accepted
the petitions. The secretary of
state, however, consulted Assistant
Attorney General Wheeler and that
official gave an opinion that as the
receipt for the filing fee had not
reached the office of the secretary
of state until after the time for fill
ing had expired that the name could
not go on the ballot.
Who Is Right?
Thursday morning Dexter Barrett,
former deputy attorney general, Wis
tied the secretary of state and argued
that Mr.. Morehead had five days to
accept the petition.
The secretary of state consulted
Deputy Attorney General Barnes
and that official decreed that the
name could go on. Then Mr..
Barnes decreed that he had not fully
understood the representations Of
the secretary of state and changed
his opinion to correspond with that
of Mr.. Davis that the name should
not go on.
Will "Stand Pat"
Then the secretary of state de-
clared that as he told somebody
that the name could go on he would
put it on. Then the matter was
taken up with Assistant Attorney
General Levity and he said that
there was no question but that the
former governor had no legal right
on the ballot and the name could
not go on.
The secretary of state has de-
cided to stand pat" notwithstand-
ing the full legal department of the
state says he is wrong, and author
lied the statement that if anyone
did not want the name of Governor
Morehead on the ballot he could
mandamus him to keep it off.
