GRAIN RATES PUT UP
Roads Anounnce Advance to East and
South of Omaha After Dec. 1.
Omaha, Nov. 9. All of the railroad's
cf the Western Trunk Line associa
tion have quietly laid their plans for
a material advance in rates on grain
to Chicago, the Atlantic seaboard and
gulf ports. Unless protests are fi'ed
the rates to Chicago will be advanced
1 cent and to Atlantic and gulf ports
2 cents per 30o pounds.
Several days ago all roads of the
Western Trunk Line association pe
titioned the interstate commerce com
mission, asking authority to make the
advance, filed their tariffs, proposing
to make the new rates effective Dec. 1
However, before taking action look
ing to r.n advance in rates, the rail
roads sounded the Omaha Grain ev
chanee and all similar organizations
in Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City,
Minneapolis and other grain shipping
centers. They were given assurances
that if pi! grain markets were put on
a parity there would be no protests
from the members of the grain dealers
comprising the assoc iations. The ra'l
roads gave their pledges and then
r-cted.
While the advance in the rates will
have some bearing on the cost of
bioadstutTs to the ultima'e consumer
who lives in the east and the south,
it will rot be felt by th? Nebraska
farmer nor the farmer of Iowa. Minre
sotn and elsewhere who resides in
Omnha grain trade territory, for there
is no intention of advancing the local
rrte into Omaha. It will remain the
same and the advance will be absorl ed
by a raise in prices abroad. In other
words, the roads bringing the grain
into Omaha will pet their share of the
advane-e by taking their share of the
proportional of the entire haul.

KAISER HOLDS
GOUNCILOF WAR
German and Austrian Armies
Both on Defensive.
ALLIES HOLD FIRM IN WEST.
Only on One Point In Two Battle
Fronts Do Teutons Make Claim of
Success Succeed In Taking Strong
Position Near Vienne-La-Chateau.
WAR SUMMARY
Beyond the fact that the allied French,
British and Belgian forces are tak
ing "the offensive, little has been
made public regarding the opera
tions in Belgium and northern
France.
In the eastern field of the war, accord
ing to all official reports, the P.us
sians have made decided progress
againct the Germans and Austriar.s,
and Russian cavalry have penetrated
German territory.
A newspaper dispatch estimates that
about 3,000,000 Austrians and Ger
man troops are on the line from
Cracow, in Galicia, to Thorn, in
East Prussia.
Earl Kitchener, the British secretary
of state for war, has telegraphed
congratulations to Grand Duke Nich
olas on the success of the Russian
arms against the Germans and Aus
trians. Earl Kitchener predicted
that the joint efforts of the allies
would result in the final crushing de
feat of the enemy.
A cruiser of the Breslau class, former
ly owned by Germany and now at
tached to the Turkish navy, hat
bombarded the seaport cf Poti, on
the Black sea. Little damage was
done and the fire of the Russians
drove off the cruiser.
Ijondon, Nov. 9. A dispatch from
Rome says:
"German advices received here say
that Emperor William, much affected
by the Russian victories, has held a
council of war. which was attended by
General von Hindenburg, the Duke of
Wurfemburg and the Austrian chief of
staff. Field Marshal Baron Conrad von
Hoetzendorf. to decide on a further
plan of campaign."
The German and Austrian armies
are now on the defensive, both in the
east and west. They ave. at least
for the present, given up their efforts
to break through the allied lines
around Ypres in Belgium, where The
British and French have taken the of
fensive, and. according to the reports
from French headquarters, have com
menced to advance, and in the east
they have fallen back to and over their
own frontiers in Uast Prussia, and
in Toland have crossed the border,
while the Russian cavalry has pen
trated Silesia, to the north of Kalisz.
and cut the German railway.
The Russians also are following up
their advantage in Galicia and. it is
said, have succeeded in cutting the
retreating Austrians off from Cracow,
and the German army Is retiring
through Teland. In fact, at only one
point on the two battle fronts do the
Germans claim success. That is to
the west of the Argonne region, where
the German emperor's forces have suc
ceeded in taking from the French an
important position near Vienne I a
Chateau. Elsewhere the French troops hove
made progress and retaken the po
sitions which they had lost during the
course of the week. This is notably
so in the Aisne valley around Soissons.
where they have regained the ground
which the Germans, by fierce assaults,
had taken from them.
The Belgians, who are holding the
line reaching to the coast, have also
made progress and it would thus seem
that the Germans are still waiting for
additional reinforcements before re
newing their attempt to smash through
to the French seaports.
57,800 Casualties In Week.
Berlin, Nov. 9! The latest German
casualty list brought the total num
ber of names contained in last week's
reports up to about 57.800. Hospital
records show that a very large pro
portiit of the wounded have returned
to duty. The last casualty list records
the killing of three German aviators
and the wounding of six others by hos
tile airmen.
Saxon Crown Prince Is Wounded.
London, Nov. 9. Owing to a seri
ous wound in the leg, received inac
tion on the battlefield in France.
Crown Prince George of Saxony has
arrived at the royal castle at Dresden
and will take no further part in the
campaign, says a dispatch from .The
llague.
Masters of Black Sea.
Rome, Nov. 9. According to a tele
gram from Odessa, the Russians con
sider themselves absolute masters of
the Black sea. The Turkish fleet, it is
declared, has retired behind the P.os
phorus and does not seem disposed to
come out.

The Pastor bad h
revest for further
light on a previous
discourse which he
! PASTOR. EUSSELLJJ
answered before
treating today's test. As it is of peculiar
interest we pive it in full. He had applied
IK-brews 12. to our day, declaring now
in progress the removing of all things
PhakaMe, that only things harmonious
with Divine standards, which cannot be
shaken, may remain. He held thnt the
shaking heavens represented C'hurehian
ity EcelrFinpticlsm and tho shaking
earth represented social, financial and po
litical affairs. His questioner wanted to
know -what financial Fhakinps ure to be
expected. The response ft. Llows:
Stocks and Bonds to Be Shaken.
Everything falso, bogus, inequitable,
will bo shaken. In financial parlance this
Is equlvulcr.t to saying that the "-water"
will be squeezed out of al! the stocks and
bonds. By methods once sanctioned, but
now everywhere reprt hendeeJ. Ftocks and
bonds have been issued for nimis far be
yond the actual value of the properties.
These stocks and bonds have coFt their
present owners varying sums from noth
ing up to par: but their actual vulue i3
what the properties would cust. plus a
reasonable percentage of allowance fo
right of -way and business "good will."
In ordinary times these had a mnrkct
value built upon hoje of their future
prosperity. Now,, however, the gonerr.l
public has Itecome aware of the real situ
ation and Is fearful to touch at any prle
the!e shares r.nd bonds of over-capitalised
companies, and the most sound iitid sol
vent of them share the public distrust.
N"w. In the opening of the New Hispcn
pation. when everything is boirrp "shr.U
eti." we f.re to expect that ail such stocks
and bonds will be shaken in vaiue until
everything like dishonesty and inequity
shall have been shaken out.
Forty years a?o the world's great bark
ers and financiers concluded that it would
be to their interest to demonetize silver
and have only a gold standard. This
finallv accomplished what thry foresaw
and intended: it curtailed the world's
monetary supply and enabled the bank
ers the better to control the entire situa
tion throughout the world. I'y an elabo
rate banking system (valuable in some
respects), it made each gold dollar chase
itself and do the work of five dollars or
ten dollars. fsipeed by bank checks and
drafts. Thus the profits of the larger
banks increased amazingly by reason of
higher discount and interest charges,
making them rich at the public expense.
The public, of course, acquiesced in the
law demonetizing' silver and making go.d
the single standard. T.vt they did it un
der misapprehension, becauso they be
lieved the bankers' tale-that this was
really the best thing for the people, and
not merely a measure in the interest of
the banker and at the expense of the
people. It Is perhaps but fair to say that
less than one-half of the bankers under
stood the philosophy of the matter; the
others were guided by the wealthier and
more astute who did fully understaml.
Tl.e result has been great profits to the
bankers, and great power; for without
them, railroad stocks and bonds could
not be handled successfully. The bankers
took over large issues of railroad rtocks
Hnd bonds, by what is known as the un
derwriting process. They were caprble
nales agents for the bonds at a good
round percentage of profit, advancing
money on the bonds and holding them lor
sale to the public.
The Day of Reckoning.
Now we see fulfilled the Scripture decla
ration, "He taketh the wise in their own
craftiness." (Job 5:13.) How so, do you
ask? I reply that the great banks have
their vaults well filled with these bonds
and stocks on which they had hoped to
make large profits; but which, on the con
trary, they are now unable to sell at any
price. These stocks ar.tl bonus reckoned
In as part of the banks' assets, show
them to be wealthy, with immense sur
pluses; but now the "water" is to be
taken out of these 6tocks and bonds. It
wlil show an immense shrinkage in the re
sources of these banks. They v. ill become
suddenly mT without actually losing a
cent, by r?-on of the market value of
their securities falling.
This fact in realized by all banks. They
realize that if the Day of reckoning has
come, and their holdings their securities
are to be reckoned at their actual value.
It will mean that instead of large re
sources and surpluses, some of the rich
est banks will become insolvent and be
called upon by the government, cither to
close their doors or to make good their
shortage. And riht there will lie their dif
ficulty; for the rich men cf the world have
their capital invested similarly, and the
reaction will be bound to unfavorably af
fect all the great commercial enterprises
of the world., As all went well, amar.ing'y
well for the bankers and the wealthy by
reajn of the demonetization of silver, so
whfn the Day of Reckoning sh.ill have
fully dawned, things will go especially
hard with fhese tame people. And, al
though the stoppage and the reconstruo
tirm will Involve the whole world, poor
and rich alike, nevertheless in many rc
pcts the rich will feel tho pressure most
The liquidating process had already be
gun before the present European war
started. The Hartford and New Haven
Railroad. The Chicago nnd Rock Island,
and others, have been called to account.
With these the "water squeezing" proc
esses ef the law have been threatening,
nnd will undoubtedly accomplish thir
thorough "shaking." But meantime, the
war. waiting not for the more gradual
processes of th.law and the cird;nnry
business, has brought the financial world
to a crisis. The nations of Europe r are
being shaken. The casualties of the wrer
B'rcady amount to a million and a half
of human beings, and hundreds of mil
liors of doTTars. And It is only begun.
