DOOMED TO OUTER DARKNESS Forgetful Youngster Could Only Stand at School Gate and Mourn His Hard Position. In one of the Western towns where there Is a large per cent of foreign population considerable difficulty was experienced in getting the registra tion of alien women. An instructor In the -playground in the foreign district offered her assistance, nnd in order to gain a better knowledge of the com munity gave out printed slips to tho children on which they were to write their names, nges and plnces of birth, nnd the same of their fathers nnd mothers. She told nil the youngsters explicitly that they must bring the pa pers back with them In the afternoon. When the children returned one little fellow stood forlornly at the gate. To nil lnvltntions to enter he shook his head stubbornly. Ono of the assistants finally went to him. "Come on in." she coaxed. "We are going to learn a wonderful new game tills af ternoon. Don't you want to help us?" "No, ma'am, teacher," he said, nnd big tears rolled down his cheeks. "No, nia'nin, I dnssent even come In, 'cause I ain't got my excuse for being horned."

SEES TORRENT FROMAMERICA Greater Production of Vessels and Sea Warfare Beat the Submarines Gain 100,000 Tons a Month. London, Aug. l.-rSlr Eric Geddes. first lord of the British admiralty, gave tho house of commons a review of the nnvnl situation, nnd particularly defended the policy of starting nation al shipbuilding yards in dlscusslnu tin' shipbuilding program, lu connection with tho navy estimates. The first lord compared the situation today regarding -tonnage with that of a year ago! Then tho net loss In tonnage ho snfd, was 550,000 gross tons monthly. Submarines then were not being destroyed as fast as the Germans were building them, while the merchant shlpynnjs were short of men and material. Four hundred thousand tons net loss monthly was the British deficit. Every yard that could tnko nnvnl work had been put on naval building. Gradually during the last year, Sir Eric continued, the position had ehnnged In many directions. Instead of losing tonnage the world's net re sult In the last quarter had been a gain roughly of 100,000 tons n month. The- nllled nnd neutral world was as well off oh June 30 ns on January 1, 101S. This result, he declared, had heen obtained by reduced sinkings nnd Increased buildings. Tho reduced sinkings hnd been ar rived nt, said the first lord of the ad miralty, by a greater productive effort devoted to warships and small craft of an antisubmarine character. Noth ing was Included of commandeered or acquired tonnngo In this result. Tho shipbuilding advisory commit tee had Just adopted a standard ship, which should be built the old way, with tho proportion of one skilled to fpur or six unskilled men in Its con struction. "It is Interesting," added the first lord, "that the very same prooiem confronted America and America met it .In practically the same may tho same class of yurd aud the same typo of construction and with excellent results." Merchant slilp repnlrs," said Sir Eric, are today engaging nearly two Ihirds as many workmen as arc en gaged on new construction of mer chantmen. "But," he continued, "the subma rines have found it too dangerous to Work in shore and are going far out. The number of ships damaged, as well as sunk, Is decreasing and tho trans ference of men from repnlrs to new tonstruction Is possible. The number' f men employed on new construction tf warships and auxiliaries is, rough ly, 150,000, and on merchantmen, 120,000. "America's program Is now begin ning to com s along, nnd I have hnd the pleasure of considering It with Mr. Roosevelt. My conferences with him have confirmed what I have relied upon namely: that when once tho How of destroyers an dantlsubmarlne craft starts from the United States II will become a formidable torrent."

" m t i MEET ID REPUBLICANS MEET IN LINCOLN AUDITORIUM, AND DEMOCRATS GATHER AT HASTING8 STRONG SENTIMENT EXPRESSED BY BOTH PARTIES , FOR PROSECUTING THE WAR TO A VICTORIOUS END Prohibition Party Also Foregather In Lincoln and Hold Convention In Llndell Hotel Building and Adopt Platform , The Democratic Convention Hastings. Tho democratic state convention came to a close shortly after midnight, following speeches by n large number of tho candidates. After the flurry in tho afternoon, when a voto on the method of appoint ing tho commltteo on resolutions gave a test of strength, tho convention settled down. The report of the reso lutions commltteo was adopted with out dissent. Tho resolutions pledged unswerving support to President Wilson in tho prosecution of the war and praised his administration, condemned profiteer ing, approved woman suffrage and commended Senator Hitchcock nnd tho state administration. They endorsed tho constitutional convention - and adopted tho followllng plank on tho ratification of tho federal prohibitory amendment: The resolutions adopted follow: "We, tho democrats of Nebraska, as sembled in convention In tho midst of the supreme crisis of the world's civiliza tion, know hut one duty, recosnlze but one issue, accept but one leader. Tho duty Is to olTer our blood and treasure, without Hllnt or limit, to crush tho beast of German autocracy. Tho Issue If whether that autocracy, booted and spurred, shall rldo the world, to the de struction of all human liberty, happiness and progress or whether it shall be made a lit and safo place In which free 'inon may live, build their homes and tear their families Tho leader Is Woodrow Wilson, tho president of tho United States and ,comnuuider-ln-ch!of of our armies and navy, imo ms Keeping uu mm wo prit: and all that wo hope for has been en trusted. In his hands wo have placed our heroic sons dearer to us than life Itself. They are his Instruments. Their bared bosoms are the shields of our home and our womenklnd. Through blood and nKony and tears tho world Is moving to waids Its Roal. Wo nro solemnly im pressed with tho truth that If we unscl llslily and to tho uttermost sustain our leader, who In at tho same time the lcadet of tho world's forces of morality and progress, of honor and law, that uoal will maKo tne triumpn or our cause and tho eternal Rlory of our arms. And we aro as solemnly impressed that If we fall In united, devoted and self-sacrlflclnpr support we contribute to palsy the arm of him who is tho hope of the world, to make vain the sacrlllcc of multitudes of our dearest and best, and to open tho Rates through which tho foul beast of Berlin will booii or later advance to crush our womanhood under tho same iron and polluting heel that has crushed martyred lielcrlum. "Fellow countrymen, of Nebraska, of all parties, from the depthB of our hearts we call to you, how, in such a day, Is It possible that free men should hesitate? How s it possible that they should stop to quarrel nnd quibble over molo hills when tho majestic mountains of human achievements and human rights are trembling on their foundations? How. In such a time, can sano men think of playing for parties and advantages! "We can win this war, we cap servo our sons In arms only by support of our superb president, Woodrow Wilson. We can support him by giving him the back ing of a friendly and sympathetic con cress. Wo cannot support him by elect ing a congross seeking to supplant him. Neither can we support him by distract ing the attention of energies of the American people from war duties to other Issues that in happier and serenor days might well bo of great Importance. And so w,e say In solemn earnestness that there is but ono Issue and but one leader, and that beside our duty to them other duties and other desires fade to nothing ness. That duty Includes the protection of our sons at home as well as abroad, and of the free American Institutions for which they fight. Wo muBt perform this duty by putting down the odious profiteer, by planting our heel mercilessly on sedi tion. By sustaining the constitution and the laws by giving our wealth, our labor and our energy to one end. Wo feel con strained In tho dlschnrgn of thlH nuprnmo dutv to call the attention of the people of Nebraska to certain facts of record. "To the boys In the trenches and camps and at sea who aro offering their lives in their country's cause we send loving greetings. While we remain safelv at home they aro fighting our battles. They are Suffering untold hardships and mak ing the greatest sacrifices It Is possible for men to make. Their cause shall be ever our cause, and In pledging our support to their commander-in-chief, we pledge It alike to them. And such a commander-in-chief! Never In history has there been a time when the straining eyes and throbbing hopes of civilized mankind turned to one man as they turn today to Woodrow Wilson I Serene, strong, patient, firm. He towers above tho statesmanship of the world. In his wisdom, in his de votion. In his superb moral courage, in his fervor for democracy and human rights Jie stands matchless and thorough. All time, all ages shall call him blessed. To his support, to tho end of his great tnsk, we pieuge our lives, our rortunes una our sacred honor. "We commend the record of our demo crntic state administration and aro nroud of It. It lias kept its promises una pledges with scrupulous fidelity. It has been clean, courageous nnd splendidly patri otic. It hns enforced the laws. It has been ertlclent, businesslike nnd strong In building for Nebraska's prosperity and credit at home nnd abroad.
