Aug. 17. The Social
Dcmokraten oubhshei a report sent
I "from Petrograd August 8 by a Swe
j sdish socialist saying that the Crecho-
-Slovak "advance on Moscow" is ex
1 pected to result any day in the Rus
l eian government officials returning to
3' Petrograd. The latest soviet mobili
S zation has been a total failure and
the bolsheviki openly admit that the
end of their power may come within
.a few weeks, or even days. The
-newspaper's informant says that for-
inier Russian officials are being shot
by the wholesale and that thus far
' J more than 1,700 have been killed.
;i -: Will Declare Martial Law.
$ London, Aug. 17. The allies are
I agreed on the necessity of proclaim

Vast Region in Northern Russia Controlled by Czecho-SIovaks.
Jm( SIBERIA- "
Where the allies, Czecho-SIovaks,
antibolshevik and antisoviets of Si
beria are threatening Germany in the
east through their operations against
the Lenine-Trotzky government.
1. Vladivostok, where Czecho-SIovaks
are being joined by Japanese,
British, French and American troops.
Control of the eastern terminal of
the Trans-Siberian railroad has been
secured by them heie. Millions of
tons of munitions and war supplies,
gathered here before the break-down
of the Kerensky government, also
have come into the control of the
entente forces and the Czechs.
2. Harbin, strategic point of en
trance into Siberia tor Japanese
troops now assembled in Manchuria.
End of the Manchurian railroad from
Port Arthui and junction point on
the Trans-Siberian line which permits
a short cut into Siberia for the Jap
anese. 3. Udinsk, former concentration
camp of German prisoners of war
held by Russia. It has been wrested
from the bolsheviki, combined with
former Teuton prisoners, by the
Czechs. It is the eastern ferry point
for eastern Trans-Siberian trains.
4. Lake Baikal, only physical bar
rier against rail transportation of
troops and supplies on Trans-Siberian
line. Trains must be ferried over
this lake from' Udinsk to Irkutsk.
It is here bolshevik troops aided by
former German prisoners most se
riously threaten the Czecho-Slovak
forces in Siberia and it -is here that
Japan is expected to aim its first blow
in Siberia with troops from Manchu
ria. 5. Irkutsk, where 150,000 Czecho
slovaks, formerly a part of the Aus
trian army, are established, following
capture of the town by the Czechs
and the Siberian people's army July

6. Baku, important shipping port
on the Caspian sea, dominating the
wheat, oil and mimral regions of the
: country is not an issue. We obey the
decisions of the highest court and
I that is the only wav that a republic
can live. Anything that strikes at that
ife a dangerous thing.
. "The wisdom of the decisions of the
j Courts of this country is not at issue.
iThe industrial system is not on trial;
itlii case is not against any interests
f honest working men, nor against
, any patriotic labor organization. And

After the instructions of Judge
, Xandis, the jury retired at 4:10 p. m.
, nd just one hour later announced
, Jlbat its verdict was ready. The court
was hastily assembled and the verdict
,Vas read at 5:25 p. in. There was no
demonstration and the defendants
"Vere. returned to their cells after
Judge Landis had announced that he

trial next week, the exact date to be
' set later." -
I - Verdict Stuns Defendants.
. There was no sign of the disorder
which had been predicted among! the
defendants in case of an unfavorable

Baker's Plan for Two
Joint War Fund Drives
Protested by K. C. Head
New York, Aug. 17. The Knights
of Columbus, who voted at their "win
the war" convention in this city to
co-operate in a joint drive for war
funds with the Young Men's and
Young Women's Christian associa
tions' war camp community service,
American Library association, Jewish
Welfare league and Salvation Army,
protested today to Secretary Baker
against a proposal to have four of
the organizations conduct a campaign
in November and the other three in
January.
James A. Flaherty, supreme knight,
announced that he had sent the fol
lowing telegram to Secretary Baker:
"I earnestly trust that the rumor
that you are to order two joint drves
for recreation funds, one for the
Catholics and Jews and the other
for the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation and three other agencies, is
not true. This would be drawing a
religious line in time of war that can
not fail to cartise great criticism and
disturbance throughout the country."
Deny Entente Charge.
London, Aug. 17. Statements that
entente diplomatic and consular
agents have not received authoriza
tion to leave Russia are denied in a
Russian wireless message received
here. The Russian government, it is
added, is awaiting a reply from Ger
many to the request that safe conduct
be given agents wishing to leave Rus
sia by way of Petrograd and Stockholm.
Ukraine and Volga. Taken by the
British Mesopotamian army. This
also affords a southern entrance for
the allies into Russia as the Geor
gians and Don Cossacks controlling
the country to the northward are
friendly toward the entente.
7. Volga river, highway of com
merce for the Ukraine and Little Rus
sia by which supplies have been sent
to Germany via the Caspian sea and
Turkey. Here Generals Alexieff and
Denikine are amalgamating their an
tibolshevik armies with the Czecho
slovaks in this territory.
8. Moscow, ancient capital of Rus
sia, now in hands of inti-soviet forces.
9. Petrograd, former capital of Rus
sia, where famine is raging and riot
ing marks the efforts of anti-soviets
to overthrow the soviet power.
10. Archangel, at mouth of Dvina
river and northern port of Russia,
where allied forces are in control and
from which British and American
forces are pushing southward into
Russia against the bolsheviks. Mil
lions of tons of war supplies gathered
here are now in the hands of United
States marines and British troops.

HILTOII A. SAMS
Candidate for
County Supt. of Schools
of Douglas County
The records Bhow 137 filings
for the various Douglas county of
fices 132 filings are Omaha resi
dents, five from out in the county.
One of the five filing from out in
the county is Supt. M. A. Sams of
Valley, who is seeking nomination
for the office of Superintendent
of Douglas County Schools, and
since the county superintendent
has no jurisdiction over the Oma
ha city schools, the people out In
the county feel that they should
have a candidate from their sec
tion of the county, who has been
connected with the work there.
Mr. Sams has had broad expe
rience in public school work and
has been eminently successful, as
evidenced by his endorsements re
ceived from Nebraska leading edu
cators. W. S. Whitmore, promi
nent resident of Valley and ex-regent
of t state university, says:
"Douglas county needs just such a
man at the head of her schools."

War Bread cf Better Quality
Than Last Year Without
Rationing Assured All
Allied Nations.
By Associated Press.
London, Aug. 17. Universal war
bread of better quality than last year
for all the nations fighting Germany,
practically without rationing, will be
one of the chief results of the food
controller's conferences at London,
Herbert C. Hoover, American food
administrator, announced to the Asso
ciated Press today. He said there will
be ample supplies of fats and meat if
the populations are economical and
avoid waste.
"The danger of privation is now
passed," he said. Mr. Hoover ex
plained that the people ot North
America were now able to take
overseas the bulk of food supplies re
quired and it will therefore be possible
to curtail the total length of voyage
to the European allies, thus effecting
a considerable saving in tonnage.
He said a program had been' agreed
upon regarding different commodi
ties required to maintain health and
comfort. He appealed to the United
States for continued economy, to meet
the increased demands of Europe
and carry over a stock of foodstuffs
that will form positive insurance
against climatic eventualities.

Nathan P. Dodge, Jr., Omaha, Real Estate Voted for consti
tutional convention, easier method of amending the constitution,
the recall of public officials, county ownership of telephones and
tax reform. Led the fight for the Omaha water district bill and
forced amendment of the gas compromise bill so as to eliminate
the most vicious features. Introduced and secured passage of ,
Omaha "pure" election law and introduced bill to prevent im
peached officers from again holding office. Introduced several
important prison reform measures and secured their passage.
Supported every progressive measure and was one of the senate
leaders. Made fight for bills regulating corporations more strin
gently. A genuine progressive.
State Legislature. .
N. P. Dodge, Omaha, Douglas County Voted for constitn- '
tional convention, Omaha municipal light bill, Omaha consolida
tion, repeal of. Omaha $1 gas franchise, Torrens system, good
roads legislation, prison reform, state efficiency survey, jury
commissioner, county workhouse, open schools, justice of the
peace reforms and other progressive measures affecting Douglas
county.
ONE OF THE LEADING MEMBERS OF THE SENATE.
CONSISTENTLY PROGRESSIVE AND INDEPENDENT. Stood
for tax reform, recall, majority vote on constitutional amend-
ments and similar measures which were smothered in the senate
sifting and standing committees.
braska will remember as several times
a member of the legislature from
Omaha, is this year a candidate for the
republican nomination for Congress in
the Second district. When in the
house in 1905, Mr. Dodge introduced
the first state-wide direct primary bill
ever proposed in a Nebraska legis
lature. In the senate in 1913 he fath
ered the election , law which gave
Omaha honest elections and relieved
Nebraska from the perils that went
with a padded vote in Omaha's under
world wards. In the 1915 senate he
led the fight for the Omaha municipal
lighting .bill, which Governor More
head later vetoed. In him Omaha fur
nished the state one of the most active
and consistently progressive members
the legislature has contained. Such a
record in a state legislature is the
sort of preliminary showing a public
should require in a candidate for Con
gress. It offers the best possible evi
dence of what can be expected of him
in Congress."
"The greatest step toward good gov
ernment that has ever been taken in
Omaha was taken when the Dodge
election law went into effect. That
law insures that the people shall rule
in Omaha. It insures, so far as it is
humanly possible, that every vote cast
in an Omaha election shall be an hon
est vote, and that it shall be honestly
counted. ' ' (World-Herald Editorial,
1913.) '
