REAL HOPE FOR
BAN ON WAR
FRENCH AMBASSADOR LOOKS
FOR BIG RESULTS FROM
ARMS CONFERENCES

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 31.-The arms
conference is bringing the nations
closed together and formation of the
league of nations shows the world is
tired of wars, Ambassador Jusserand,
of France, asserted before the con-
vention of the American Historical
association, of which he is president.
The conference, he said, has been
considering what could be tried to
prevent recurrence of catastrophes
and TO secure the safety of even the
smaller nations. And they bethought
themselves of that organism which
we see struggling for useful exist
ence. the league of nations, with its
permanent tribunal. Msny disagree
with the plan, but all agree with its
object.
Years may slapss before the goal
is reached: but great thing is the
goal stands visible, as beacon, be-
fore the world. The Washington
conference is just now causing us to
come nearer.
Secret treaties, already forbidden
by the league covenant, will cease to
be resorted to. Actual negotiations,
however, will be initiated and con-
Quoted in public in all their phases
on when humanity is composed of
men impervious to the praise, the
sarcasms, the exigencies, the fury,
the ridicule, the idolatry of the
Agora,'
Having to keep their governments
well informed he emphasized that
ambassadors should keep themselves
well informed so as to make their re-
ports more truthful.
Use of spies is utterly contemp-
ible." he declared. ''The envoy should
have recourse for information, not to
traitors, but what is little more diff
cult, to his own brains. There is
little to choose between the scorn
due the seduced and that due to the
seducer. And, moreover, from the
practical point of view, there is never
any safety in using traitor"

Dawson County
Man Got Bonus

Mitchell, Dec. 31.-Davison county
ex-service men have received approx
mately $4,000 in cash from the
state bonus board, according to esti-
mates made here. Most of the men
who have been paid thus far are long
time service men and the average
amount received by the first 100 will
far exceed the s295 average for the
state.
Former members of Troops E and
f, of the old national guard, have re-
ceived as high as 1915 in bonus mon
ey. Four Dawson county men will
receive the maximum amount of
$400. There will be about TOO bonus
payments in the county. Thus far
1t is estimated that slightly more
$1,500,000 has been paid out by the
bonus board.

PAY MILLION IN
CLAIMS IN HAIL
ADDITIONAL LOSS 500, 900
YET TO BE ADJUSTED-FUND
HAS GOOD SURPLUS

Pierre, Dec 31.-The state hail in
surance department has paid out
claims amounting to over $1,000, 900
so far on this years hail losses.
There are yet claims amounting to
little over $1,000,0OO yet unsettled
those being in cases where there is
some question as to whom the right
full party is to receive the money, but
these are being cleared up as rapid
ly as possible and the next month is
likely to see them all cleared up and
paid off.
The past year was hard one on
the hail fund, the losses being heavy
in many localities.
But when the business of the year
is cleared up, the fund will have a.
reserve of approximately 100000
left.
This is smaller than it was last
year, as it has been necessary to
drawon the reserve of the previous
year to meet the claims.
One of the features of the situa-
ton this year is that payments were
made to the requirements of the law,
and on account of falling prices many
of the claimants who were hailed
out" had more net return from their
crop than they would have had If
they had paid the expenses of har-
vesting. threshing and marketing the
crop they would have secured with
out hail damage

SEARCH RIVER
F OR B Cd Y
TO FIND REMAINS MUIR
DERED McCOOK co. FARMER
UNAVAILING

Yankton, Dec. 31.-No further
trace of the body of Patrick McNa-
Doe, murdered McCook county farm
er, was found by the party of search
ers who spent all Wednesday after
noon dragging the Jim river near the
Broadway bridge crossing, according
to those from Yankton who partici-
pated in the search.
Thirty-five or 40 men spent the en-
tire afternoon there, including Peter
McNaboe, firm Salem, another broth
er of the murdered man, several men
from the vicinity of Bridgewater,
near which town the missing man
lived, farmers from the vicinity of
the bridge, and several men from
Yankton. No further search Is plan
ned there for the present.
A thorough search of the river
was made, on each side of the Broad
way bridge. A hole was sawed in the
ice, about four feet wide and 25 feet
long, near one bank. and through
this the river was thoroughly drag
ged, the hole being enlarged by
saving off additional strips for the
entire width of the stream.
This done both above and below
the bridge, so that every foot Of the
bottom OF the stream was searched.
1t was believed the body might have
been thrown from the bridge on the
east side. as the pieces of human
bone and flesh were picked up near
the center of the bridge and ratmhsr
near the east edge of the roadway.
There is possibility that it was
thrown in farther down, as the
urderer is believed to have driven
close to the stream at various points
in the county. The blood-stained
trunk was evidently thrown In south
of the railway tracks, near the bend.
No further trace has been found of
the supected murderer, Charles Sny-
der, who was last seen in the packing
house district at Sioux City, accord
ing to ePter McNaboe, the brother,
who has been leading in the search,
nor have any additional clues been
found at the scene of the crime that
help in any way to clear the mystery.
Frequent rumors have been circu-
lated that Snyder has been found but
they were without basis In fact, Nc
Naboe said. A reward of $500 has
been offered for the arrest and de-
tention of Snyder.

Pierre, Dec. 31.-Application fill

Just what the final number will

but it will take long time for the
number to go 10000 at the rate the

Unless the applications go over the

payment of the bonus claims will
without doubt meet all the demands
made for such payments under the
bonus law of the state.
