tions of the city. In several districts
heavily populated by persons of Ger

tions the socialists were returned the
victors.
The socialist vote was sporadic.
There appeared to be no well defined
districts of the city with a predom

lli Midst of Sorrow and Peril
America Has Ample Reason
to Render Thanks', Says
Wilson.
(Bf AtMH-iiited Pr.)
Washington, Nov. 7. President
Wilson issued tonight his 1917
Thanksgiving proclamation, calling
upon the nation, evenin the midst of
the sorrow and great peril of a world
shaken by war, to thank God for
blessings that are better than mere
peace of mind and prosperity of en
terprise. The proclamation fixing Thursday,
November 29, as Thanksgiving day,
follows:
"By the president of the United
States of America.
"A proclamation.
"It has long been the honored cus
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
ful autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God foV his
many blessings and mercies to, us as
a nation. That custom we can follow
now even in the midst of the tragedy
of a world shaken by war and im
measurably disaster, in the midst of
sorrow and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gathered
about us, we can see the great bless
ings God had bestowed upon us.
blessings that are beter than mere
peace of mind and prosperity of en
terprise. Serve All Mankind.
"We have been given the oppor
tunity to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day of
our Declaration of Independence, by
taking up arms against a tyranny that
threatened to master and debase men
everywhere and joining with other
free peoples in demanding for all the
nations of the lrwod what we then
demanded and obtained for ourselves.
In this; day of the revelation of our
duty not only to defend our own
rights as a nation but to defend also
the rights of free men throughout the
world there has been vouchsafed us
in fulland inspiring measure the reso
lution and spirit of united action.
We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigor of com
mon counsel and common action has
been revealed in us. We should
especially thank God that in such cir
cumstances, in the midst of teh great
est enterprise the spirits of men have
ever entered upon, we have if we but
observe a reasonable and practicable
economy, abundance with which to
supply the needs of those associated
with us as well as our own. A new
light shines about us. The great du
ties of a day awaken a new and
greater national spirit in us. We shall
never again be divided or wonder
what stuff we are made of.
Justice For All Nations.
"And while we render thanks for
these things, let us pray almighty God
that in all humbleness of spirit, we
may look always to Him for guid
ance; that we be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of serivce; that by
His grace our minds may be direct
ed and our hands strengthened; and
that in His good time liberty and se
curity and peace and the coniradship
of a common justic may be vouch
safed all the nations of the earth.
'Whrefor, I, Woodrow Wilson,
prsiden of the United States of Am
erica, do hereby designate Thursday,
the twenty-ninth day of November
next, as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer, and invite the people through
out the land to cease upon that day
from their ordinary occupations and
in their several homes and places of
worship to, render thank to God, the

LUEBBEN DETAILS
BANKING METHODS
Entries of Certificates of De
posit Made in the Sutton
Bank Just to Keep
Books Straight.
George Honey, A. W. Clark and
Theodore Miller, directors of the First
National bank of Sutton, which failed
in 1913, tes'ified yesterday in federal
court that the certificates of deposit
issued by President Luebbcn of the
bank and which are involved in the
case against Thomas H. Matters, were
issued without the authority ot tne
board of directors.
President Luebbcn was on the wit
ness stand all morning. He is also
under indictment and is the govern
ments chief witness m the trial of
Thomas II. Matters, who is charged
with abetting Luebben in unlawful is
suance of certificates of deposit.
Luebben admitted freely and almost
eagerly that he had done things for
bidden by the national banking laws.
He was questioned about entries of
the Matters' certificates of deposit on
the books of the bank. United States
Attorney Allen pointed out that some
of the certificates were entered tor
smaller amounts than their face
values..
To Keep the Books Straight. ,
"I had to do that to keep the books
straight" said Luebben, "because
Matters had not sent me the full
amount of money which he had prom
ised. I begged him repeatedly to
pay the money in or send back the
certificates."
According to Luebbens testimony,
he issued $19,000 in certificates of de
posit and sent them to Matters on
the latter's promise to pay for them
in good 'paper.' In return for these,
he said, Matters sent him at that time
on.ly $12,500 in notes. The defense
asserts that Matters subsequently paid
in even more than the certificates
called for.
G. L. Goddell, in the employment
of Matters here in 1913, but now a
minister in San Diego, Cal, testified
regarding four certificates which Mat
ters had issued in his (Goddell's)
name and which Goddell endorsed so
that Matters could negotiate them.
Making Good Progress.
Good progress is being made and
attorneys expect the case to be com
pleted in a week or ten days. The
first trial took nearly four weeks.
Two expert court reporters are tak
ing down every word of the evidence.
They took even every question and
answer in examination of the jurors.
One of the reporters is hired by the
Kovernment and the other by the de
fense. Contention That
Dodder Did Not
"Take HisOwn Life
Evidence has developed in the Dod
der insurance case before Judge Red
ick, tending to show that Edward L.
Dodder, Omaha undertaker and grand
treasurer of the Ancient Order of
United Workman, did not commit
suicide. Janukry 19, last, his body was
found in his electric coupe on the
road north of Florence and a buellt
wound in the head.
James Allen of the Allen Detective
agncy testified that January 20 he
found a patch of blood the size of a
man's hand on the garss among the
weeds at a point 16 feet east of the
culvert at the pjlace whre the Dod
der coupe was standing when the
body was found. Ot this place in the
road is an unused (rail off from the
main road, usually traversed only by
wagons and hrose drawn vehicles, he
testified. The spt is isolated btween
two hills and is separated , from the
main road by a fringe of weeds.
' When the coupe was taken from
the Dodder garage the following
morning to be cleaned, some leaves
and weds were found mingled with
the blood on the ffo6r of the car.
Delia L. Dodder, widow of the Om
aha man, is suing the Aetna Life In
surance, company for $10,000, payment
which was refused on the assumption
that Mr. Dodder took his own life.
The jury Tuesday went by auto to
view the spot whe,re the body was
found.

Receivers Are Appointed
For Big Grocery Stores
New York, Nov. 7. Receivers for
the All-Package Grocery Stores coa
p. ny, operating isO retail stores in
New York and Chicago and capital
ized at $25,000,00. were appointed in
the federal co rt Iiere today, in an
equrty suit brought by Isaac Basch
kofif, a stockholder, who alleged that
e assets of the concern would be
dissipated unless the court intervened
to preserve them for the stockhold
ers and creditors.
H. Snowden Marshal, forn-.cr

this district, and Herbert A. Emer
son were named receivers under $50,

(Continued from Fags One.)
as this would leave Venice in the
hands of the invaders. Basing his new
defensive position on the upper
Brenta and the lower Piave, General
Cadorna would rfave a line about 100
miles shorter than that of the Taglia
mento and upon it he apparently will
give battle to the Austro-Germans for
the possession of Venice. Behind this
position the Italians; would have bet
ter lines of communication and easier
access to the great manufacturing cit
ies of northern Italy.
Routers, an important railway cen
ter northwest of Ypres, is now domi
nated by British guns. Canadian
troops yesterday completed, the cap
ture of the important part of the Pas-schendaele-Gheluvelt
ridge by taking
Passchendaele, Goeberg and Mossel
markt. The Germans suffered heavy
losses and a number of prisoners fell
into British hands. Passchendaele
dominates Roulers and the plain sur
rounding the town, which, lies five
miles northeast.
British Attack in West.
The Germans had fought hard to
' hold Passchendaele and several times
j recently the British had been checked
j in attempts to take it. Tuesday the
enterprise of the Canadians was too
Vnuch for the Germans and they had
to surrender the position, which
means much to the further British
I progress toward the Roulers-Menin
railway, one of the several lines en-
j tering Roulers.
' Each successful effort lfy the Brit-
j ish brings nearer the inevitable Ger-J
; man retirement trom the positions di
rectly affected by the eyer-widening
'Ypres salient. A retreat, however, is
a menace to the submarine bases of
Ostend and ZeebrUggc and the city
of Bruges, the base of German opera
tions in Flanders, and it is apparent
that Crown Prin:e Rupprecht of Ba
varia is doing his utmost to retain
the positions now held rather than to
retire and straighten his line.
