Record Crowds
AtColumbus for
Armistice Day
Military Police From Legion
Patrol City-Searchlight
Adds to Holiday Ap.
pearance Of City.

Columbus, Neb.. Nov. 10. -(Spe-
cial Telegram. )-Thc largest crowd
III the history Of Columbus is al
ready here for the American Legion
Armistice day celebration. Uni
formed members of the Legion are
working as military police in patrol
ing the city. The huge crowd is
orderly and a special detail of fed
eral officers has kept the dispersion
of moonshine down to minimum.
No arrests have been made for
drunkenness.
Large searchlights mounted on a
hotel are sweeping the city with
shafts of light and adding to the
holiday appearance of the city. The
new shell bandstand was used for
the first time tonight and despite the
drizzling rain a large crowd heard
the concert.
The federal highways running
through Columbus are packed hard
and it is not expected that the rain
will interfere with the crowds plan
ming to come by auto tomorrow. The
plans call for the arrival of auto
trains simultaneously from the
north, south and east and motion
pictures will be taken of the three
lines Of machines from the top of
one of the grain elevators. It is
estimated that the cars will extend
for four miles in each direction.
American Legion posts in all sur
rounding cities will have charge of
the delegations from their sections.
The plans are all running with
military precision.
Sentiment changed from Billie
Miske, St. Paul, to Tony Melchoir
when the principals of the l0-round
boxing bout reached the city. The ap-
parent slightness in build of Miske
III comparison with his opponent was
responsible for the change.
Joe Stecher is the favorite over
Charlie Peters in the wrestling
match. The huge tent where the ath-
letic events will be staged is ready.
1t is larger than any circus tent
ever erected here.

Washington. Nov. 10. - Thc
Anglo Japanese alliance, in the form
that has made il Objectionable TO the
United States and the British over
seas dominions, will not survive the
conference on limitation of arma-
mcnts.
II the conference succeeds i'll cstab-
fishing all understanding between
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States concerning Pacific and far
eastern questions. the alliance will be
scrappcd completely.
Ii the conference fails to establish
such all understanding the alliance
will be modified so as to eliminate its
military features, if not supplantcd
entirely by purely commercial agree
ments.
] am enabled to make this fore.
cast on the eve of the assembling OF
the conference in which the. fate OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance is the
great overshadowing question. The
. information here presented is al
ready in possession Of the American
delegation and has been communi-
Gated to President Harding. II may
be stated that it has gone far toward
furnishing basis for close co-opera-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain in the momentous de-
liberations about to begin.
Make No Demands.
The British are coming to the con-
ference demanding no quid pro quo
for abandoning the Anglo Japanese
alliance, such as an agreement by
the United States to enter into al
alliance with Great Britain and
Japan, as has been represented in
some quarters. Lloyd George threw
out the suggestion OF the formation
Of such an alliance. but it is now real
lied in London that the American
people never would consent to it.
The British have been hard pressed
by their dominions to abrogate the
alliance with Japan, but they can
not bring themselves to the point Of
doing it bluntly. The japanese aided
Great Britain in the war and to hand
them their hats now, when they are
no longer needed, appeals to the
British as poor sportsmanship.
Consequently there must be some
formalities to provide a graceful exit.
for both British and japanese from
all embarrassing situation. 1t is
conceded that with Russia and Ger
many crushed. the reason for the
formation of the alliance no longer
exists.
Seeking Excuse.
No conditions demand its dissolu-
ton, but both England and Japan
would like to obtain a plausible ex-
cuse for its dissolution. Such all ex-
cuse would be an understanding OF
the powers on Pacific and far eastern
questions, even if such understanding
should take the form of all exchange
OF diplomatic notes among the ma
tons concerned.
The Rt. Hon. Arthur Balfour, act
ing head OF the British delegation
arrived today and was met at the
railway station by Secretary OF
State Hughes. Later Mr.. Balfour
called on President Harding and al
the State department. Speaking OF
the conference, Mr.. Balfour said.

then Tinker climbed in and they were
to- the Land Of the Far3South
where their friends were.
1.-The tears Of the Tribe Of Alligators
had made a large stream that ran
into the lake. But Tinker could not
stay in the. lafidsof the Bats and the
Alligators just because they shed SO
many big tears. He had to get to the
Land Of the Far South.
Over forests and lakes they rode in
the Magic Basket. The warm sun was
very kind to shine for them all the day
through. It wasn't long, however, till
they left the land and could see moth
ing on every side but water.
"Quack. quack," said Lady Duck.
"This, is the ocean. I used to cross this
part Of 1t many times when I could fly
like the others OF the flock. See, there
is one of those fellows who lives out
here the most of the time"
Tinker looked about and finally saw
what Lady Duck had mentioned. Said
Isn't hat creature lost so far out
here from .land?"
"Quack,, quack. no that fellow isn't
lost. He Just flies about here as though

he could swim. but he can't. When he
gets tired he will go back to the land.
He is looking for fish to eat just now"
U then Tinker saw him dive, and
when he came up there was a fish in
his mouth.
We'll, WELL" said Tinker, that is
a great way to do I never saw any
decided: to go where. that fellow was
fishing and talk with him. The magic
basket went in the direction of the
great bird fisher and soon Tinker was
in calling distance and he cried out:
Com over here, I want to talk to
! you"
When the King of the Forest speaks
the creatures must answer, for that is
the word Of Old Man Experience, and
his word is law. So Tinker knew that
the creature fishing would have to an

came in this manner. The creature
came at once and perched on the. edge
Of the Magic Basket. A fish that he
had been carrying in his mouth. drop

What is your name and where do
you live?" asked Tinker Bob as he
examined this fellow carefully.
MY name is Mr.. Sea-Gull, and I
live mostly on the sea-"
That answer was good enough.
Wihd tiieIe WIZ OIL II, Out tinker want

Don't you have any friends on the

There are hundreds of Sea-Gulls
on the sea. only you can't see them
all. Some are SO far away you can't
see them. and some are so close to
the sea that they cannot be seen. See

And Tinker Bob %looked-up to see a
very strange sight.
Tomorrow we will see what it was.
