Russian Relief
Plan Discussed at

the question of American control OF
food distribution, were discussed in
some detail today by President
Harding and his cabinet. Consider
able difficulty has arisen from the
disposition OF the Russian soviet
government to impose restrictions.
conflicting with the American relief
administrations determination that
relief supplies must be under Amer
ican control throughout.
1t was indicated that although no
definite plans to avoid this embar-
rassment had been formulated, the
administration was hopeful OF an
early solution.
Complicating the situation, ev'-
dences have reached Washington
that seem to indicate that European
politics has been somewhat inter-
woven with the Russian relief situa-
ton.
The sentiment Of the cabinet is
understood to be that although the
United States must insist on Amer
lean control Of food distribution in
Russia, this government should not
be adverse to participating in any
general investigation OF relief condi-
tions which European powers might
think essential.

Unity Of Allies
Peace Guarantee
LloydCeorge Says
British Prime Minister Well
Pleased With Results Of
Meeting of Supreme
Council.
by The Associated Press.

London, Aug. 16. - The prime
minister, Mr. Lloyd George, speak
irg in the house of commons today
concerning the last meeting of the
allied supreme council, declared that
in many, respects it was the most
important since the declaration OF
peace. Questions were before it, he
said which menaced the solidarity
of the entente. a..
The unity of the allies, Mr.. Lloyd
George asserted, was guarantee
for the peace of Europe and it was
a matter Of great qualification that
at the end of meeting resolu-
ticn was passed, not merely that the
alliance be continued, but declaring
that the spirit of the alliance was as
strong as ever.
Reviews SIesian Disputes.
Mr.. Lloyd George reviewed the
history of the Silesian question and
referred to the plebiscite in which,
roughly seven-eievenths of the pop
ulation voted to remain with Ger
many and the other four-elevenths
for remaining with Poland. The
dispute ranged about very impor-
tant industrial triangle, the prime
minister went on. The towns were
German and the villages Polish, he
pointed out. but taking the area as
a whole, the substantial majority
was German.
Calling attention to the Polish in
surrection, the prime minister char
acterized it as an attempt to antici-
pate the decisions of the supreme
council.
Unaninity Impossible.
After some discussions. Mr.. Lloyd
George said, it was apparent that
complete unanilnity was quite i'm
possible and the council members
were unanimous in agreeing to refer
the matter to the league of nations.
He assumed the. league would not
attempt to deal with the question it
self, but would refer it either to
committee OF jurists or an arbitrator.
1t was very important, the prime
minister said. that before anything
had happened France, Italy, Japan
and Great Britain were pledged to
accept the decisions Il whatever
body was nominated b. the council.
The parties would TN oubtedly ap-
pear before the judicial tribunal ap-
pointed by the league, he declared,
and the matter would be tried on
basic documents and evidence.

Hotel OlUner Builds
"Think Room" For
TemperanaentaL Folk

New York, Aug. l6.-Authors,
singers, actors and other tempera-
mental folk complain that they can
not concentrate in New York with
its multitude of noises. so Walter
Guzzardi, proprietor of the Hotel
Belle Claire has undertaken TO solve
the problem by establishing think
ing room" on the roof of his hotel,
which houses as permanent guests,
a number of professional people who
desire some place where they can
assemble their mental faculties.
The thinking room" is 50 feet
wide and 40 feet long, far above the
city traffic and deadened to all
sounds outside and inside the hotel.
One may retire to this sanctuary
and read or think or write. A piano
has been installed, but it will be man
ipulated by players whose efforts do
not properly come under the classi-
fication of distressing noise.

People Garry Torches
TO Ward Off Insects

Chicago, Aug. l6.-Citizens OF
Hinsdale. which suburb has been hit
by a plague of midget mosquitoes,
are now going armed with aameless
kerosene torches to drive the pests
away. The pests are SO small that
netting has failed as protective
armor. The girls even took to
wearing golf stockings, but the tiny
creatures went through them like
water through seve.
1t remained for a local inventive
genius to discover safeguard. He
has contrived flameless torch which
is borne aloft at night. The handle
consists of broomstick. Mounted
on this is the cover of baking pow
der can, which is filled with kerosene.
The fumes OF the kerosene repel the
most ambitious instects.

Augusta, Ga, Aug. 16.-Five per-

unidentified negroes are reported
dead
Crowds OF armed citizens gathered
at the scene OF the shooting, but
were dispersed by the police, who
were assisted by a sudden rain
storm. With the cessation OF the
rain, however, other crowds COL
lected, leading to the fear on the
part of the city authorities OF racial

~'Drys" Get
Hard Jolt
From House
Members Go On Record
Against Interference With
Home Brewing for
Personal Uses.
Agents Shorn Of Power
Bv GRAFTON S. WILCOX.

BY GRAFTON S. WILCOX.
Chicago Tribune, Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. l6.-The house
went on record today against any
interference with home, brewing and
distilling for personal use.
By a rising votoe of 90 to S4, it
virtually deprived prohibition agents
of all power to prevent the manuiac-
ture of all alcoholic beverages in
private dwellings unless proof can
be furnished that the liquor is being
manufactured for sale.
The VICTORY of the cellar distiller-
les and the kitchen breweries came
when substitute for the Stanley
search and seizure amendment, ap-
proved by the senate, was adopted.
As passed by the senate, the Stan-
ley amendment prohibited with
heavy penalties any searches or
seizures by prohibition agents with
out warrants.
The house substitute prohibits the
dry agents from searching any prl-
vate home without warrants and then
declares no such warrants shall
issue unless there is reason to be-
lieve such dwelling is used as place
in which liquor is made for sale or
sold" ...... ...
Search of Homes Prevented.
Thus the substitute first prohibits
searchingof homes without warrant
and then declares that if home
breweries and distilleries are not
making liquor for sale. no search
warrant can be obtained.
Several drys argued that the Sec.
ton as written would give complete
protection to the homes of liquor
makers. Representative Fields, Ken
lucky, sought to amend it so that
a warrant to search a home could
be obtained if there was reason to
believe that liquor was manufactured
or sold there"
For some strange reason. Repre-
sentative Vo1stead, Minnesota, leader
of the dry factions, declined to sup
port him. Many members voted
| Just as Mr.. Volstead did on prohi-
bition questions and the amendment
was lost 96 to 81. The house SUBJ
stitute with the protection given the
home brewer was reported by Mr..
Volstead. He did not vote either
way on the Fields amendment
Fields Defends Plan.
"There is not dry man who wants
to say by legislation that hong
brewing is legal said Mfr. Fields.
"Yet that is exactly what the house
substi does, sc!ess you strike out
the words for sale and make it read
no such search warrant shall issue
unless there is reason to believe such
dwelling is used as place where
liquor is manufactured or Sold not
made for sale or sold'"
There are thousands and thou
sands of people making beer and dis
tilling liquor in their homes in plain
violation of the law. You make it
impossible to stop this and give
them protection unless you adopt
my amendment
None of the "drys" seemed to. pay
much attention to Mr.. Fields speech,
apparently being sublimely confident
in Mr.. Volstead as legislator.

Joseph police placed him in custody.
Then he confessed, Borland says.

Adjustment Of
Claims Bares
I Pitiable Cases
Ex.Soldier at Grand Island.
Receiving $40 a Month,
Still I'll From Injuries
Three Years Ago.

Grand Island, Neb., Aug. To-
Especial )-Pitiable cases OF alleged
neglect by the government are be-
ing brought to light by adjustment
of ex-service mems claims through
members of the war risk insurance
board sitting here August Is, 10
and II.
One former soldier, Schuidt, who
was unable to go to the clean up
squad at Y. M. c. A. headquarters
and was compelled to have the squad
come to him at the General hospital.
is still i'll from injuries received three
years ago. He was the victim OF a
collision between truck and taxi
at Lincolnshire, England, receiving
a broken kneecap and a fractured
leg. A silver plate was placed in
his leg and, according to the ex-
service man, he was left to recover
as best he might.
"It was not possible with that piece
of brass in my leg" said Schuldt.
Improper treatment has PRACTICAL
ly ruined the leg. it is claimed, and
some time ago his allowance was
cut down to $40 month. The plate
was taken out Monday morning.
Mrs. Mary Kessler came from
Spaulding and sat quietly in the
crowd to give her claim. She is the
mother of four children, unable to
support themselves or the family, and
received $40 a month. She is unable
to work herself. Her only bread
winner, her Oldest son, was killed
in action in France.
On the evening OF the first day Of
the assembling OF these men here, a
few over l1O had registered and it is
expected that the total number will
be increased by at least 50 before
the end of the local campaign,
Wednesday evening.
