WOMEN’S POLICE DEPARTMENT TO GO

IJ. S. MAY WIN PLAUDITS OF WIDE WORLD Capital Prize Waits Some Nation in Parley. CHANCE FOR U. S. Success of Meeting Rests With Moods of Members. By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The conference which is about to assemble may prove the most important gathering in centuries, or it may bring the greatest disappointment experienced in generations. It all depends upon the real purpose of the actors —a purpose that can be revealed only by acts. If the delegates believe universal and perpetual peace possible they will try to secure it; if not, they will not attempt anything of real and permanent importance. It is a conference from which any* one of the nations may emerge the hero. The United States may surprise the world by offering so much that the other nations will be compelled to accept the offer and end war. Japan may announce a willingness to go so far as to Insure tho success of the conference. Great Britain may step to the front and settle discussion by a preposition which will leave the other nations no alternative but to accept. France may find in disarmament her greatest security, and point the way to world peace. ' , Who will win the capital prize which In this case will be the plaudits of the world and the gratitude 01 posterity? The United States has the best position. She extended the. invitation and has the first move. More than that, her traditional policy has been to rely upon her pacifist intentions rather than upon fleets and armies. In the present instances, she has a mighty asset in the )debts due her. Suppose the United States were to step forward and aay; “We are willing to pay ten millions for the progressive disarmament of the world, begun at once and continued until the navies are no larger than necessary to police the seas and the armies no larger than necessary to preserve peace on land; could the nations refuse the offer? Ten Lilliong of debt cancelled on such conditions, would enable the allies and their enemies to get together and so distribute the sum as to bring a large measure of financial relief to every nation involved In the war, and this re(Continued on Page Six.)

Thousands waited in vain at the Pennsylvania Station for a glimpse of the great warrior

According to confidential received by the legion an attack had planned against the great Frencfiftan. The details are not clear but the impression prevails that an attempt to assassinate was the aim. That the United States secret service was cognizanUof this !s evidenced by the fact that whwi Marshal Foch passed through Pittsburgh on his way to Kansas City a great crowd had assembled at. the station to greet him, but ’as his train was about to arrive that morning the secret service agent In charge In Pittsburgh would permit no one to go near the marshal's car. Even the French consul in Pittsburgh, wko is one of America's most distinguished physicians and scientists, also was b*?rd. No explanation was made then or since of this action. > Today it became known that an anonymous tip, said to have been sent by a Frenchman here, west to the leginn au-

Nov. 10.—Evidence that a ring of bootleggers plotted the death of dry agents who have been strangely murdered in New York and vicinity during the last few months, Is In the hands of Department of Justice agents, it was learned today. If further Investigation supports the evidence now on bant*, arrests may be made shortly. One <>f the agents, whose death Is un- , der investigation, was James McGulness, a nephew of Joseph I’. Tumulty, secretary of former President Wilson. McGuiness was found dead near Bayonne, N. J., nearly a year ago. After a short Investigation authorities attributed McGttiness’ death to suicide. The same verdict was rendered In other cases where agents were found shot or hanged. Now, however, there Is reason to believe the men may have been the victims of carefully laid plans of a murder ring, according to Robert P. McCormick, assistant Unit-id States district attorney.

Mother of ‘Lost’ Soldier, Sure ‘Unknown Hero’ Is Her Son

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10— Shivering a bit beneath a thin gfaawl, she had waited long before the Capitol. She was old and gray and bent. Her clothes showed she had seen better days. But her face wore a sort of sad radiance. For she was an Unknown Mother, come in from a small town quite distant that she might meet her boy, bark after weary months from France. 0 -> It was her boy who lay there In the rotunda—the Unknown Soldier back from France, honored and sung by the Nation, paid a homage greater than the dreams of kings. She typified a score of mothers who are here to honor th§ Unknown soldier, each believing it is “her boy.” She fumbled a little package as she waited—Just a wisp of a bouquet of late fall flowers which she wished to mingle with the stately wreaths and pretentious bouquets. from richer folk. It had cost her much -to make the trip here; and—well, she didn’t have her boy to help ‘at home and bis daddy had died since the war. So •be could spend only a few pennies

By WILLIAM FORTUNE. The Rod Cross stood by the soldiers during the war. The soldiers will tell yon how well the Red Cross looked after needs and their welfare, the led Cross is still standing by them. If all who have been helped by the Red Cross in Indianapolis since the close of the war should form in line for parade—men, women and chUdren, all former service men and their dependents—they would make a procession far greater than that which followed Marshal Foch through the streets of the city Nov. 4. In fact, the number of cases that have received attention of the Red Cross in that time is moreXhan five times the estimated number of persons who took part in tho Foch parade. The Red Cross Is spending In Indianapolis this year nearly twice as much to help service men and their dependents as It derives from memberships and it Is also doing a great work of helpfulness to humanity In other fields. Every person‘who joins the Red Cross becomes a helper in Red Cross work. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—President Harding tssuejl a statement to the Amerlean people railing upon them to support ns liberally as possible the American Red Cross call which opens throughout the Nation tomorrow. “The call of the American Red Cross Is tho call of country and humanity and I earnestly urge my fellow citizens to make that response which satisfies the promptings of a generous people," President Harding said.

And I’m so proud. Just think, the whole country has a part funeral.” She Shed no tears. They had flowed long since, as she realized that a German had slalnfeer boy out there in No Man’s Land and (hat he was resting in a grave with a marker “unknown.” “I had prared and prayed for him,” she said- "1 knew he couldn’t come home, because they didn't know who he was. But n miracle has happened, and he’s back.” , The Unknown Mother strained her eyes for the signal that would admit her and the, other visitors to the Capitol. At last the line moves forward. She could tarry beside the casket a moment only, but she asked the guards to be sure her wisp of flowers went to rest -mth her boy.

Following the unexpected snow fall and touch of real winter weather yesterday slightly better conditions will prevail today, according to weather bureau officials. The forcasters say the public can expect slightly warmer weather and no snow fall. The snow fall In Indianapolis yesterday amounted to 3.8 Inches. This condition was general In all pfirts of central and northern Indiana. the fall In the north section of the State amounting In some instances to almost nine Inches, according to reports. From tha Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains there is a warmer area of weather prevailing, which probably will affect local conditions within a short time. However, that is not to be taken to mean that all danger of a cold snap is over, for beyond that, running up into Canada, there is a belt of cold weather that may or may not make its effects elt here eventually. At present It Is too remote to justify any predictions. At 9:30 o'clock the mercury at the Weather Bureau stood exactly at the freezing point, 32 degrees.
