President Appeals
ToPeople to Assist
: Starving Chinese

Washington, Dec. 9.-The Ameri-
can people were asked by President
Wilson to respond as they can
to the appealing cry for help
from famine-stricken China. Al
the same time Mr.. Wilson an
nounced the appointment of com,
mittee of 130 men and women in
all parts of the country to collect
the funds contributed.
Our diplomatic and consular
agencies in China inform US" said
the president, "that the loss result
ing from death in distressing form
may run into millions of souls"
Mr.. Wilson added that he real
lied that the task of giving was not
a light one, but that he ventured to
make the appeal mot only in the
name of humanity but in that oi
the friendliness which we feel for
a great people in distress.

Army Men Formerly Stationed
Here Have Close Shave
When Balloon Falls.

Three former Omaha army men,
now stationed in the Philippines, re-
Gently figured in narrow escape
from death by drowning when a
captive balloon brok< loose during
a squall and drifted out over the
water, according to word received
here yesterday. The men were
Lieut.. w. Z. Huffman, Private John
Murray and Lieut.. Richard Richter,
the former two from Fort Omaha
and the latter recruiting officer on
duty in Omaha in 1916.
Huffman and Murray left Omaha
about a year ago on the honey
moon special for the Philippines.
Huffman was first rescued by Muir
ray when their balloon broke loose
from its moorings while at an alti-
tude of $500 feet, After breaking
loose the balloon drifted higher and
was swept out to sea. In an attempt
to open the gas valve on the balloon
the men ripped the fabric and shot
downward at a terrific rate, falling
into the sea when the envelope col
lapsed.
The impact of the passenger bas-
ket with the water threw both men
out and they drifted for several
hours before finally being rescued
by Lieut.. Richter.
Huffman is a son-in-law of Mr..
and Mrs. Carl Schropp, 2973 Binney
street, having married their daugh-
ter, Martha. just few hours before
the departure of the honeymoon

Witness in Arnstein
Bond Theft Case Tells
OF Selling Securities

Washington, Dec. 9.-Continuing
his testimony in the trial of jules
w. (Nicky) Arnstein and others,
charged with conspiring to bring
stolen securities into the District of
Columbia, Joseph Gluck, former
bank messenger in New York, de-
scribed visits he made to Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore to dis
pose of blocks of securities obtained
by him from Wall Street runners.
Nick Cohn, the missing defendant,
went with him, Gluck said, and they
met Arnstein at their destination in
each case.
The witness said that Arnstein
was introduced to him as a man who
had outlets for stolen securities all
over the United States and in Can
ada. The possibility of trip through
Europe to dispose of large quantities
of the stolen papers was suggested
at one time, according to Gluck.

Debate Limited
Four Hours on
immigration Bill
Advocates Hopeful of Passing
johnson Measure in House
Today-Representative
Fess Attacks Post.

Washington. Dec. o.-By almost
unanimous vote the house restricted
general debate on the Johnson i'm
migration bill to four hours, and ad-
vocates of the measure, which would
stop all immigration for two years,
were hopeful of passing it tomorrow.
Representative Fess, republican. of
Ohio, said "this legislation would
fail to keep undesirable out of this
country unless Assistant Secretary
of Labor Post was removed from his
office"
Representative Johnson of Wash
ington, author of the immigration
bill, declared genuine cause for
alarm existed when the influx of i'm
migrants has reached a point, as it
did last week. of 10000 souls passing
through one port alone"
THE people of the war-torn coun-
tries are turning to us" said Mr..
Johnson, "as fast as ships can bring
them. They are crowding toward
our ports Our country is now in
need of 100000 homes to shelter
those already here. One million or
more workers now are. out of en-
ployment. with the winter coming on
and the process of deflation but fair
ly begun.
"The fact is the new immigration is
not of the kind or quality to meet the
reaIheeds of our country. We are
being made the dumping grounds"
Representative Johnson read let
ter received, he said, from promi-
nent American journalist in Europe"
depicting scenes of crowds besieging
American consulates and declaring
that consuls were doing a noble
job in holding off the gangs, but
must have help and legislation which
will strengthen their hands"

League Assembly
Disappointed by
Wilson's Stand
Refusal of President to Name
Delegate on Disarmament
Commission Causes
Deep Feeling.
BY The Associated Press.

Geneva, Dec. 9.-President VIII.
sons negative reply to the league oi
nations invitation to name an unof-
fetal delegate to cooperate with the
commission to be appointed by the
assembly to discuss disarmament, has
caused great disappointment here.
The chief desire of the assembly
members seems to be to maintain
as many points of contact as pos.
sible with the United States and il
was thought the disarmament in
vestigation afforded an opportunity
for which President Wilson could
take advantage without committing
himself. Mr.. Wilson's decision re.
garding the Armenian boundaries
has not been received here. 1t is
thought in league circles that his
reply has more likely been sent to
London or Paris. since it is mat
ter for consideration by the supreme
council of the allies, rather than by
the league of nations.
Canada, whose delegation has
made great impression on the
assembly. scored again when it Sc
cured elimination of the provision
in the technical committees report
for permanent finance. transit and
health commissions. The assembly
impressed by the growing expenses
of the league and the international
labor bureau, accepted the Canadian
view.
The Canadians argued it was pref
erable to work with temporary
commissions having consulting
power only until it is possible to
see more clearly just what may be
done with specialized organization.
The prospects of a prolonged
stay in Geneva are beginning to
worry the delegates and officials OF
the assembly. All the members Of
the delegations are making every
effort in commissions or full ,ses-
sions to increase the speed of their
work, but with little success thus
far. After two days spent entirely
upon the report of the technical
committee President Hymans OF
the assembly today made an earnest
appeal to the delegates to cut their
remarks short.
