Emperor tar Proclamation to
Teutons Says Scheme for
Enslavement Must Tail.
TEUTONS ABE SURE TO WIN
Amsterdam, Jan. 13. (Via Lon
don.) The following proclamation
by the emperor to the German peo
ple has been officially published in
Berlin:
"Our enemies have dropped the
mask. After refusing with scorn and
hypocritical words of love for peace
and humanity our honest peace offer,
they have now, in their reply to the
United States, gone beyond that and
admitted their lust for conquest, the
baseness of which is further enhanced
by their calumnious assertions. Their
aim is the crushing of Germany, the
dismemberment of the powers allied
with us and the enslavement of the
freedom of Europe and the seas under
the. same yoke that Greece, with
gnashing of teeth, is now enduring.
"But what they could not achieve
in thirty months of the . bloodiest
lighting and unscrupulous economic
war, they will also fail to accomplish
in the future. Our glorious victories
and our iron strength of will with
which our fighting people at the
front and at home have borne all
hardships and distress, guarantee that
also in the future our beloved father
land has nothing to fear. Burning
indignation and holy wrath will re
double the strength of every German
man and woman, whether it is de
voted to fighting, to work or to suf
fering. ;
"We are ready for all sacrifices.
The God who planted His glorious
spirit of freedom in the hearts of
our brave people will also give us and
our loyal allies, tested in. battle, the
full victory over all the enemy lust
for power and rage for destruction.
- . "WILHELM II."
- German Press Comment.
. Berlin, Jan. 12. (Via London, Jan.
U.) The German press, although ex
' pressing indignation at what it con
siders slurs on the central powers in
the reply of the entente to President
Wilson and although angered at the
peace conditions, finds consolation in
the belief that the note will serve to
weld together all classes into an un
conquerable and determined whole.
Papers like the Tageblatt and the
Lokal Anzeiger emphasize this ex
pected effect of the allies' reply and
almost ignore , the second German
note, which was published simultane
ously. The Fan-German press, on
the other hand, gives the German
communication the greatest import
ance and hails it as a sign that the
leaders of the central powers are fin
ally coming around to their view in
regard to Belgium .and; other, moot
questions.' , . ,,:.r
The entente's specific delineation of
its aims is accepted jn general, with
relief as finally eliminating all guess
work and allowing every one to see
just what is at stake. The extrava
gance of these aims, according to the
Lokal Anzeiger, binds central Europe
a thousand times tighter together.
The Tageblatt thinks that the. note,
instead of being a heavy blow for
Germany as- predicted, really makes
things easier because it will serve to
arrange all difference of opinion.
This paper believes that the reply at
one, stroke unites such- opposites as
the socialists, who are desirous of
avoiding any rejection of overtures,
with the moderates, who favor a busi
ness peace and with the annexation
ists, who insist upon the total defeat
of the enemy."
"The enemy's demands," continues
the Tageblatt, "are foolish and sense
less and such that no German could
consider them for a second. The note
Is an afffront to President Wilson in
that it presents , obviously impossible
conditions, in the face of his stated
belief that the aims of the two groups
of opponents are not irreconcilable
and absolutely barricades every way
to peace.
Two Early Fires Are
Now Being Investigated
Officials oi the Omaha fire depart
ment are engaged in th' investigation
of two fires, believed to have been of
incendiary origin. One of the fires
was at the home of George Burton,

completely gutted the residence. No
one was at home at the time.
The other occurred in a building
at 2432 Burt street used as-a rooming
house and conducted by A. S. Swy
gard. When the firemen arrived it
was found that fire had broken out in
two places in the basement. The dam
age was slight.

ILLINOIS TWO-CENT
FARELAW VALID
Judge Landis Holds Federal
Commission Has No Power
to Repeal State Laws.
CASE ARGUED MANY DAYS
Creighton university has chosen
these six speakers to compete for
oratorical honors in the annual ora
torical contest to be staged in the uni
versity auditorium on Wednesday eve
ning. 1 he winner ot this competition
will receive a gold medal and the right
of representing the university in the
intercollegiate contest between the
colleges of Nebraska Six colleges
compose the state league. 1 hey will
hold the state contest at Doane col
lege, February 17.
Creiehton collcse is also a member
of the State Peace Oratorical aasocM
ation and the winner of second place
in the local contest will be the repre
sentative. Creighton has won this
contest four times and made creditable
showings in the national contest.
The orations and speakers are:
"Democratic Discipline," Charles Bon
gardt; "The Golden Touch," Leo
Beveridge; "America and World
Peace," Elmer Barr; "The Drug Evil,"
Daniel Leary; "America's Real Peril,"
Lyle Doran; 'Robert Emmett," Ralph
Wilson. ,
The contest promises to be one of
the keenest ever held between the stu
dents and the choice of the winner
will be an extremely difficult task for
the judges. Epecially is this true
since all students have done meri
torious work in public contests and
class work. Leary hails from Mar
quette, where he has an established
record as an orator. Barr is the win
ner of last year's contest. Wilson and
Bongardt both have a string of
medals. Five of the contestants are
Omaha boys. i
Chicago, Jan. 13. The" supremacy
of the Illinois 2-cent rate. for passen
ger travel within the stale was af
firmed today by Judge Landis in the
United States district court when he
dismissed for want of equity the, pe
tition of twenty-eight railroads oper
ating in Illinois for an injunction lo
restrain the state authorities from
prosecuting for establishing a 2.4
cent rate.
The right of the Interstate Com
merce commission to authorize rail
roads to increase state rales above the
point established by tl.e slate law
had been argued for several days.
Judge Landis held that the Inter
state Commerce commission had no
power under the guise of removing
discrimination against points outside
the state to repeal the Illinois 2-cent
rate law.
In a preliminary hearing Federal
Judge Carpenter declared the case
to be one of the most important ever
brought before the federal courts.

Far Ahead of the Record!
Hog receipts here for the week j
broke all previous records, the 7,700 I

more than the best previous mark.
The price for tops was $10.75 per
hundred, which equals the previous
January high marks and brings the
farmers about $25 for each hog, or
about the price he used to get lor a
cow. ' '

This Is
YOURS!
Every man and every woman liyes in the Hope arid
expectation that some day a lucky chance wili come that will transform
life from a hand-to-mouth struggle into a life of ease, comfort and plenty. 'When my
ship cornqs home," you have said and. thought over and over again. But what have
you done to bring that ship into port, loaded with treasure? If you expect your ship
to sail in with its cargo of happiness and wealth, you've got to start that ship on its
voyage of treasure-seeking. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE AT LAST. ; , ' .
Everyone knows what fortunes have been made in manufacturing
automobile tires. You know that tires haye made millionaires almost over night.
You have probably heard how men who a few years ago were hard pressed for the
, price of a meal are today rolling in sucli luxury as only the enormously wealthy can
command. And it was all earned in TIRES. . '
Today the TIRE INDUSTRY is on an absolutely SAFE BASIS.'All the
experiments are made all the losses have been incurred. The PRODUCT IS PER
FECTED, the market is growing more enormous EVERY DAY. The future of the.
tire business was never so bright with promise. It is estimated there will be FIVE
MILLION AUTOS in use in the next year. Think of that and then wonder if an
established tire company hasn't a great FUTURE ahead. ,
We Offer You a
Chan
to Invest in a Producing Tire
Company Now Paying Dividends
We are not offering a "Prospect" or a "Paper" company.
We are offering a chanfce to invest in the stock of a company
that is operating, paying dividends and that has so much BIG BUSINESS
ahead that expansion is absolutely necessary.
We have done all the preliminary work. We have grown in four years at the
rate of over 1,000 per cent. In the next year we should more than triple our
growth. We have IN SIGHT millions of dollars' worth of business for the
coming year. To handle this great volume of business we MUST HAVE
MORE CAPITAL for factory development, raw materials, operating ex
penses, etc. s '
We could borrow from the banks by mortgaging our plant and accounts re
' ceivable, stock on hand, etc., but we would rather ask a FEW people who
want to make a SAFE and GOOD INVESTMENT to join us in increasing
our plant capacity and production by taking up some of our treasury stock.
To this LIMITED NUMBER we offer a very attractive opportunity. We offer
this stock at $12.50 per share for a SHORT TIME.
