BRYCE DEPLORES DOCTRINE OF HATE former Ambassador Addresses Church Union on Problems and Lessons of War. HELP OK U. S. IS NEEDED , Birmingham, Ala, Oct 3. Viscount Bryce of Dechmont, former ambassa dor at Washington, addressing the Congregational union today, decried the spirit of hate against the Ger mans and the talk of a lasting trade war. In conclusion he advocated a league to restrain aggression and com pel arbitration. "If there is to be a recurrence of wars, becoming more terrible with the unceasing advance of science, he said, "we may well despair of the ULord Bryce recalled that Premier Asquith, Lord Grey and Mr. Balfour had expressed energetically and sin cerely the need of auch machinery and said that several group of think ers were working out the plans. Want! Help of America "To establish any machinery for preserving peace," continued Lord Bryce, "would be impossible with out the co-operation of the neutra states, especially the greatest of all the neutral states. We have been waiting and watching to see whether America would, in view of the im mense interests at stake, depart from its other policy of complete isola tion and bear its part in the effort for securing a permanent alliance for peace. An influential league for that purpose has already been formed there and now two momentous events have happened on which I dwell because they have been little noticed here., "President Wilson delivered four months, ago a powerful and l"nu speech in which he announced that the United States could not stand aloof from a movement in which the highest interests of manhood were concerned and that he felt sure the people of the United States were pre pared to join in any feasible acheme for the prevention of future wars. ' "Two months ago Charles fc. Hughes in accepting the nomination as candidate for the presidency by the republican party declared with no less force and no less sincerity that he was convinced the time had come tor America to unite with other coun- i tries in a well-considered scheme tor applying methods of arbitration and conciliation to securing general and permanent peace in the world. , "Thus the heads of the two great ' American parties, distinguished men and the official exponents of Amer ican opinion have promised the co operation of their nation in this proj ect one of great difficulty, no doubt. . but also of supreme importance. ) Good Job ior Church. 'n..r nrnnle and the statesmen who lead our people could have no greater encouragement to address themselves, when the time comes, to this enterprise, .which they have al ready pronounced to ,be necessary. I ask your help to bring the matter be fore the people and to show them bow much we and every nation have to gain by removing the terror and he danger of war, which so long has I hung like a black cloud over Europe. The churches could do no more truly Christian work. "Let not this war be fought in yam. Let as search for and try to put into practice aome scheme for reducing and if possible at last for ending this oldest and most terrible scourge of mankind." . . Lord Bryce said his country was virtually unanimous in holding: that the war must be pursued to victory 10 complete as to open the prospect of an enduring peace and added: "On the terms of that treaty the people will insist and ought to in sist on expressing their opinion and the churches must do their part .in helping to. form it." He declared that the precepts of Christianity coincide with those of political wisdom and that the church es should work for national unity and good feeling between the classes. . Spirit of Hatred Wrong. , "Let us avoid, let us repress the spirit of hatred," he said. "We are justly indignant at the war the enemy powers have waged. We trust that our victory will warn the world that such methods must never be resorted to again and that those guilty of them will be punished. But is it wise to talk of banning a whole people for all time to come? The German people are under a harsh and tyran nous rule, which has not only deceived and misled them, but silences any protest and there are those who wish to protest against its crimes. Some day we hope they will overthrow it whm thev have learned the truth. , "To indulge in revenge will be to sow the seeds of future wars. Na tions cannot hate one another for ever and the sooner they cease to do so, the better for all or them. We , must take all proper steps to defend ourselves from any dangers that might arise if after the war the enemy countries were to resume an insidious hostility. That is at present no more than s possibility which may never arise. s - "But ht talk we now hear about -. starting after peace has been con cluded, a new war of trade to follow the war of arms haa immense ra pacities for mischief'. Such a trade war would prolong and embitter airesh those hatreds that ought to be allowed to die and it assumes continuance of those very things from which' we expect our victory to deliver us once for all. lOur main purpose will have failed, - it we oo not secure a durante peace. To prolong hatreds would increase suspicion, would lead in time to a re. currence of those very calamities from which we are suttering. It severe terms have to be imposed, let them be done only so far as is necessary ' for securing future peace, not in a vin dictive spirit which in perpetuating hatreds would end by relighting the flames of war." Lord Bryce advocated that the prin ciples of nationality be respected as far as possible, especially in the cases ot folsnd, the sot'tbern Slavs, Transylvania and Armenia. Stock of Silks Stolen From Louisville Store .; Louisville, Neb- Oct 3. (Special.) The general merchandise store of W. F. Diers - was broken into last night and all the silks, amounting to several hundred dollars, were stolen The thieves used an auto. No trace ol FIREMAN MEETS DEATH IN SOUTH SIDEACCIDENT (ContinuM from Page One.) un his wife and told her that he was going to the South Side and wouldn't return until about 6 o clock. . "Be extra careful," cautioned Mrs. Adams. "You know we have only been married since May 2." Said He'd Be Careful "Oh, I'll be careful enough," laughed the husband," and I will be more careful if you will promise to pay the grocer's boy our little bill to day." The wife promised and they bade each other "goodbye." It was the last time Mrs. Adams was to see her husband alive. Al though the fire department auto hur ried with her to the South Side hos pital in record time, Adams was dead before she reached him. Mrs. Adams' home is in St Louis, Mo. They were married in Omaha just five months and one day before the fatality. ! Seven Firemen Burned While fighting the ' flames in the plant, five firemen on a wall of the beef killing room, were severely burned by a sheet of flame shooting upward. They are Edward Kocha mowski, lames Kennedy, JoHn Pol lock, William Holly, Captain Joe Gal ligan, all of No. 16 hose company. Pierce street station. Kennedy and Pollock were the most severely burned. Assistant Chiefs Martin Dineen and George Crager were severely burned about the hands. . Departments Saved. The fertilizing plant, which at pres ent is being rebuilt; the box factory, the oleomargarine department, the cooper shops, the hen house, the lard refinery, the engine room, and the beef kill are a few of the'departments i hat were saved from the flames. A rix-foot brick wall separated the pork house from the beef kill, thus insuring practical safety to the latter. The hog kill house is separated from the main pork house by railroad tracks and at a late hour last night was reported in no danger. Sparks, ignited a portion of this division, but gained no head way before being put out by a detail of firemen. Pork meats and products valued at a half million dollars were stored 'throughout the place, and the burn ing of a considerable portion of this cold storage supply is taken up in the estimated loss. The plant proper is valued at something more than a mil lion dollars. ' Departments Burned. The departments that were totally demolished are: Pork trimming, saus age, dry sausage, pigs' feet, hog cool ers and sausage coolers, sweet pickel coolers, sweet pickel and salt pork. The latter department escaped com plcte loss, part of the supply being on a lower iioor. jnc dressing rooms near the east elevator shafts were also gutted. Thirty heavy electric motors l ung in different parts ot the three top floors fell to the third and fourth floors with dangerous crashes. The fire burned with force until long after 11 o'clock last evening and probably will be smouldering for sev eral days. Sparks from the blazer blew several hundred teet in the air and lit in great showers on the north wine of the cattle pens in the stock yards. Killing in the cattle section will not be interfered with. The company had over 125 cattle on hand and these were killed this morning. It is ex pected that hog killing will be resum ed in about two weeks. 'Fight In Stock-Yards. Superintendent Jack Walters as sumed charge of the situation and di rected the play of several streams of water on the scorcnea parts, several hundred tons of hay piled along the concrete loading dock were also pro tected in this manner. The situation at first looked serious, but later changed as the wind blew less. Sparks fell in abundance on the new concrete and steel hog sheds, but had no effect whatever. ." Three fire engines and five motor trucks of the new design pumped water for three solid hours, furnish ing pressure for twenty-five lines of hose. The biggest fight in the early evening was on the south side of the plant next the street viaduct Ihe flames later shifted to the southwest corner, driving toward the fertilizer plant, but a battalion with twelve hose ines fought the fire to the opposite direction, where it centered in its last stand on the fourth and fifth floors of the sausage division. From here all through the center of the pork house, estimated at a half block square, it swept downward. Chief Salter or dered the fight to be transferred to the third tloor at an early hour and this probably saved a good deal of the property loss. One thousand freight cars side tracked on tracks Noa. 1, 2, 3 and 4, were removed soon alter the blaze showed up as dangerous. The ears were filled with produce ready for shipment Many other empty cars that tilled the Dig railroad yards alter the 18 " "pF some folks changed their own tempYtaents they'd be better satisfied with those of their neighbors'.

Lone Electric Light Burns. A lone "electric lamp of about twelve kilowatt burned unceasingly from the topmost corner1 of the plant all through the blaze to the amusement of thousands of spectators. Superin tendent of the Electricity Department Curtis, reported that nearly all of his wiring was out of use entirely. Two thuds were heard by those near the nozzles on the east side of the dock roofings.' The elevators had fallen from their station on the top floor to the bottom of the shaft, re maining a mass of red hot metal. The killing and hog trimming floors were in operation at the time of the first alarm. A hundred and fifty men rushed to leave the plant at the first inrush of smoke from the sausage room. This is the third fire at the Morris and company plant. In the summer of 1914, practically the same portion of the plant as burned last evening burned then, although the loss was not near so great, due to the lack of stored meats. The last big fire occured eight years ago, when prac tically the entire Hammond plant, by which name the present building was called at that time, was burned, re sulting in a total loss of $600,000. Of ficer John Jackman of the South Side station was night superintendent at the time and took an important part in fighting the blaze. During the fire at the Morris Pack ing company Monday, thieves carted away fifty pounds of bacon. The case was reported to the police. CENTRAL ALLIES . LEAVE TURTUKAI ASMILISTRIA (CoatlaMd from Pags Out.) Sari line, but they were compelled to retreat under the fire of our artil lery and infantry. There was quiet on the Black Sea coast." London. Oct 3.-2:35 o. m. Bul garian counter attacks on the British forces, which crosned the river struma on the Macedonia front were re pulsed yesterday, the war office an nounced today. Following is the statement: "esterday the Bulgarians counter attacked with three battalions against our new positions on the east bank of the Struma, but were repulsed. One of our battalions then charged with the bayonet and routed the enemy, taking forty prisoners. "The royal flying corps carried out successful bombing attacks on troops ir. transport in I'rosenik and on a ri,road train traveling from tlicrt Ic Serta." T The reason given for the withdraw al of Von Mackenzen's forces is that the German commander is in danger of being enveloped by the Russian and Roumanian troops which have crossed the Danube between Rustchuk and Turtukai.
