Lake Bluff, 111., March 29. Sailors
at the rate of almost 1,000 a month

In the last few weeks recruits have
been, received at an average rate of
sixty a day. As a result,, accommo
dations have been pressed to the limit
and more than 800 are sleeping in
tents. The course of training, usu
ally Jour months, has been reduced
and the men are being sent to sea as
rapidly as they can be made fit. A
class of 450 will leave tomorrow for
"somewhere in the east."
In addition to the recruits received
from throughout the west and middle
west, preparations are being made

Two Women to Every Man
' Would Enlist As Marines
New York, March 29. "Are wo
men more patriotic than men?" Dur
ing the last week two women to every
man have applied for enlistment in
!!he United States marine corps, ac
cording to Captain Frank E. Evans,
officer in charge of recruiting here.
"One woman insisted upon being
assigned to duty on a battleship,"
said Captain Evans. "It was difficult
to convince her that women are not
permitted to serve in any capacity on
warships."
A recent ruling of Secretary
Daniels provides for the enlistment
of women to till clerical positions,
only, in case of war. This has en
couraged many patriotic daughters of
America, who prefer machine guns to
typewriters; to offer their services as
actual combatants. .''

MANCHESTER ROW
SPLITS WOODMEN
Efforts to Oust Supreme Guar
, dian of Circle Divides Or
der Into Factions.
APPARENT AT CONVENTION
i
Efforts to oust Emma B. Manches
ter, supreme guardian of the 'ood
men Circle, from this position at the
convention to be held at Memphis,
Tenn., beginning April 2, have split
the Woodmen people into two fac
tions, particularly in Nebraska.
Mrs. Manchester blames the move
ment entirely uoon Sovereign Com
mander Fraser of the Woodmen of
the World, and says he has made a
scurrilous and untruthful attack upon
her.
The Fraser faction charges that
Mrs. Manchester has been in-a con
spiracy against the Woodmen of the
World or Mr. Fraser personally.
The eleventh biennial convention of
the Woodmen Circle of Nebraska is
now on in Lincoln and the fight is
cropping out there. Whether it will
come openly and personally upon the
floor or not, the shadow of the strife
will be evident in the fight of the re
spective factions for representational
the supreme lodge meeting in Mem
phis April 2. Mrs. Katherine Rem
ington of Omaha is candidate for
delegate to this national convention
and belongs to the faction opposed to
Mrs. Manchester's re-election as su
preme guardian.
After Mrs. Manchester's Job,
Mrs. Tola McGowan of Grand
Island is the candidate for the fac
tion favoring Mrs. Manchester.
Mrs. Manchester has been supreme
guardian of the Circle for eighteen
years. She holds that she has built
it up from a state of virtual bank
ruptcy to the position of kone of the
strongest - fraternal orders in the
world. -
Mr. Fraser holds that the Wood
men of the World has financed the
Woodmen Circle. Mrs. Manchester
denies this and declares the Wood
men of the World have never con
tributed one dollar to the promotion
of this order since she has been su
preme guardian.
Charges Duties Hampered.
Mr. Fraser and his friends hold that
Mrs. Manchester has tried to hamper
Mr. Fraser in the discharge of his
duties as sovereign commander. Mrs.
Manchester, on the other hand, de
nies this, and says the only attempt
that has ever been made to break off
friendly relations was made by the
sovereign commander himself.
Mrs. Manchester declares there are
seven members who are in open re
volt against her as supreme guardian.
She declares it is a conspiracy to un
horse her from this position and give
it to another.
. "Their grievance are largely men
tal apparitions," says Mrs. Manches
ter. - " ' , s
Thus the . fiffht continues. Mrs.
Manchester has gone so far as to is
sue a little pamphlet to the members,
setting forth her position as prelim
inary to her regular official report,
which she is to make at Memphis.
Part of Convention Bolts.
Lincoln," Neb., March 29. (Special
Telegram.) Woodmen of the World
in their state meeting here today got
into a controversy which resulted in
a part of the convention "insUrging"
and leaving the convention hall.
State Manager Ed Walsh made a
motion to make the re-election of
Earl R. Stiles of Omaha unanimous.
G. W. Haskell of Lincoln demanded
a roll call and did not get it. O.
Eeezley of Lincoln launched into a
speech declaring that steam roller
methods were being used and de
manded a square deal. Then many
other delegates took up the fight, but
Stiles was re-elected.
Refuse to Seat Unitt.
The trouble was renewed when the
convention refused to seat Charles
Unitt of Omaha, . clerk of Alpha
Camp , of that city, who came as an
alternate. He left the hall and a
number followed him.
The Woodmen Circle also had a
little scrap over the election of a
delegate to the supreme lodge, the
anti-Manchester crowd winning with
the election of Mrs. Remington of
Omaha. Thefanchester faction de
clared that the majority faction had
taken undue advantage by holding
the election in the morning, when it
had always been the custom to hold
the elections in the afternoon..'
Terms in Penitentiary ,
For Stealing Motor Car
Fremont. Neb.. March 29 rSncria!
Telegram.) Walter- Larson, 21, and
Harry Herbert, 19, who said they had
formerly resided in 'Omaha, pleaded
guilty to stealing a Ford touring car
belonging to Sam Maxwell of Fre
mont and were sentenced to terms in
the penitentiary by Judge Button.

years and Herbert from ' twelve to

Herbert had served on the border as
members of company A, Fourth regi
ment. Larson and i-Jerber'. were ar
rested at Ravenna with the car in
their possession.
Sheriff W. C. Condit and Arthur
Larsen returned from Neligh, where
the automobile belonging to Mr. Lar
sen, stolen on the streets tn Fremont
two weeks ago, was found. They
drove the machine back and brought
with them Glen Howard, held on a
charge of having sold the stolen car,
and Frank. Motony. a farmer near
Neligh, who had bought the machine.
While at Neligh, Sheriff Condit and

NO HINT OF CONCESSIONS
Berlin, March 29, (By Wireless to
Sayville.) "Germany never had the
slightest intention of attacking the
United States of America and does
not have such intention now. It never
desired war against the United States
of America and does not desire it to
day," was tfrc" declaration made by
the German imperial chancellor, Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg in a speech
in the Reihhstag today.- -
The chancellor made important
declarations concerning Germany's
policy toward, the United States and
Russia.
Reviews the Causes.
"How did these things develop?"
asked the chancellor, in speaking of
the relations with -the United States.
He then proceeded to answer the
question by reviewing the causes
which led up to the German use of
submarines in unrestricted warfare.
Declaring that Germany had un
dertaken unrestricted submarine war
fare for its defense, Dr. von Beth
mann Hollweg said:
"If the American nation considers
this a cause for which to declare war
against the German nation, with
which it has lived in peace for more
than 100 years? if- this warrants an
increase of bloodshed, we shall not
have to bear the burden of respon
sibility for it."
Says Germans Don't Want War.
Concerning German relations with
the United States, the chancellor,
whose speech is reported by the Over
seas News Agency (the German offi
cial news bureau), said:
"Within the next few days the di
rectors of the American nation will be
convened by President Wilson for an
extraordinary session of congress in
order to decide the question of war
or peace between the American and
uerman nations.
"Germany never had the slightest
intention of attacking the United
States of America and does not have
such intention now. It never desired
war against the United States of
America and does not desire it today.
ExpecL...ona Disappointed. '
"How did these things develop?
More than once we told the United
States that we made unrestricted use
of the submarine weapon expecting
that England could be made to ob
serve, in her poU y of blockade, the
laws of humanity and international
agreements. This blockade policy
tnis l expressly recall nas oeen caneo
'illegal and indefensible' (the imperial
chancellor here used th. English
words) by President Wilson and Sec
retary of State Lansing.
"Our expectations, which (re main
tained during eight months, (lave been
disappointed completely; England
not only did not give up her illegal
and inderesible policy of blockade,
but uninterruptedly intensified it.
England, together with her allies, ar
rogantly rejected the peace offers
made by us and' our allies and pro
claimed its warfare which aims at our
annihilation and that of our allies.
"Question of Responsibility.
"Then we took unrestricted sub
marine warfare into our hands; we
had to for our defense.

this a cause for which to declare war

which it has livid in peace for more
than 100 years, if (his action warrants

Wilson Endorses
Fund for Relief :
of Jews in Russia
Washington. March 29. President
Wilson sent a telegram today endors
ing the raising of a $10,000,000 fund
for the relief of Jewish war sufferers,
in which he said "the Russian revolu
tion has opened the door of freedom
to an oppressed people" and urged
that they be encouraged.
The president's telegram, sent to
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, fol
lows: "Your contribution of $1,000,000 to
the $10,000,000 fund for the relief of,
Jewish war sufferers serves democ
racy as well as humanity. The Rus
sian revolution has opened the door
of freedom to an oppressed people,
but unless they are given life and
strength and courage, the opportu
nity of centuries will avail them little.
It is to America that these starving
millions look for aid and out of our
prosperity, fruit of free, institutions,
should spring a vast and ennobling
generosity. Your gift lays an obliga
tion, even while it furnishes inspira
tion." ,

Mr. Bryan asked that congress also

to congress follows:

President Wishes House to Or

Not to Delay Action
in Crisis. ' ;
LEADERS DRAFT MEASURE
Action Must Originate in House
. Largely Because of Stone
and Hitchcock Attitude.
CABINET TO MEET FRIDAY
Washington, March 29. President
Wilson was said today to be hopeful
that the house of representatives will
rush its organization plant so that
there will be no delay in affording
him opportunity to make his address
on the war aituation to a joint ses
sion with the senate. Administration
leadera are anxious that if a pro
longed fight is in prospect some sort
of an arrangement be made for tem
porary organization to permit the
president's appearance Tuesday
or Wednesday.
The resolution for congressional
action to comply with the president's
recommendations probably will be
considered first in the house, leaving
the senate to take it up later. The
house foreign affairs committee now
is drafting various forms of a reso
lution to meet the executive recom
mendations. Another reason for original house
action is the probability that the reso
lution will carry an emergency ap
propriation. Appropriation measures
must originate there. -Stone
end Hitchcock.
The peculiar situation in the senate
foreign relations committee with
Chairman Stone opposed to action
which would lead to war and the op
position of Senator Hitchcock, the
next ranking democratic member,
to steps further than an armed neu
trality manifesto, -was another factor
in, the tentative plan to have the
resolution originate in the house, t
The president has received recom
mendations from several cabinet mem
ber on points to be included in his
address and is now preparing it in a
preliminary way. ,.
The final cabinet meeting before
the assembling of congress will be
held tomorrow and members will be
ready to report fully on preliminary
preparedness measures.

Chairman Chamberlain of the sen
ate military committee, with' White
