Hastings, Neb., Aug. 2.—One of (he Wormiest conventions the democrat* of Nebraska have had in years was the contention yesterday. The steam roller was used with a seeming delight by Chairman Donahoe. At no stage did he give the Bryan followers a single morsel of comfort to roll under their tongue. With a bare majority of the convention behind him. he ruled with a hand as drastic and unrelenting as any crowned head of the central empires. Fighting every inch of the way, the Bryan warriors found that there was to be no mercy shown them in a single instance. Not even the courtesy of a single Bryan supporter appeared upon the resolution committee. This was the healing salve he dished up to the convention, when once power had been given him by a vote of the convention. , The fireworks started fallowing the action of the convention in making the temporary organization perma- ! nent. Upon motion of Dr. P. D. Hall, that the chairman appoint a resolu tion committee of five, W. H. Thomp son moved a substitute resolution call ing for the convention to select a reso lution committee of seven. Amid one of the most tumultous roll calls ever wit nessed, occasioned by the chair’s seem ing ignerance of parliamentary usage, the convention rejected the substitute resolution by a vote of 603 to *97. The chairman then announced the following as his selection for the com mittee Dr. P. L. Hall, E. J. CnmpbeU, Webb Rice, Ed Caufal, George Mar shall and William Morrill. After hours spent in deliberative effort the resolu tion oommlttee reported at midnight a resolution dumfounding the conven tion. It oarrled no endorsement for Benator Hitchcock or Governor Neville, and In the closing plank pledged the party for equal suffrage, the adoption of the fedwal prohibitory amendment and againet profiteering. The threat of I. J. Dunn, of Omaha, to offer a substitute motion on the floor of the oonventlon attacking Hitchcook forced the Hltchcock-Mul len resolution committee to carry out every demand of the Bryan wing. REPUBLICANS IN FAVOR OF NATIONAL PROHIBITION Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 2.—Ths republi can state convention here yesterday was a get-together affair and speech feast, prominent men of the state and nation being present to laud republi can principles and ideals. The platform which endorsed na tional prohibition and woman's suf frage was adopted without a dissenting voice being heart!. Senator George W. Norris addressed the convention. He explained his po sition and what he had done to push war legislation. He declared that no more grain should be wasted in the manufacture of Intoxicating liquor be cause It is needed for feeding the al lies during the war. He advocated that the necessities of llfq qhould, as far as possible, be free from taxation but huge incomes apd swoKsn war profits should bear the burden TO a great de gree. He said that it Is the d«ty of republicans everywhere to see tngfW erything possible Is done to secure victory for America and its allies. Speaklhg of President Wilson, Senator Norris said: "We must follow where he leads and give him united support." He emphasised the right of constructive criticism In a free republic like the United States and he thought It a duty of every citizen to offer helpful crit icism. He pointed out that this Is the first great war of history when the producer at home is as Important as the soldier In the trench. Will H. Hays, of Indiana, national chairman of the republican party, was enthusastlcally received. He said the party stands for three things: First, to use every possible means to win the war. Second, for a peace with victory and sever peace by a compromise or bar gaining of principles which would violate American rights, interests and honor, and make our sacrifice a sacri lege to be made again by our grand children. Third, for a sane preparation now for the solution of the problems im measurable in their complexity and magnitude which will come after the war. We are as unprepared for peace 4R we- were for war, he said. Every country except America is preparing for peace. We are slipping along now under democratic administration with cut any adequate thought of tomorrow, lust as we did before we entered the war, he asserted. THE PROHIB CONVENTION. Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 2. — The state convention of the prohibition party was amothered by the greater republican ctute convention. In a email room at one of the hr.tele the cold water dev iates gather, d to build a platform and ‘ransRct other business In order to keep 'he party organisation from dismem berment. Virgil (3.

Neb., Aug. 2. -J. F. Nor ton. of Omaha, sent out by the state tnti-suffrage association last year tc obtain signatures to a referendum pe tition. and who was here in June, has been arrested on charges of forgery and falsa representation in connection with securing of signatures to the pe tition.

' LIQUOR BATTLE IN STATE CONVENTION Democrats of Nebraska Expect ed to Go to the Mat at Hastings Next Tuesday. Lincoln, Neb., July 29.—One question that promises to bother the democratic state convention, which meets at Hast ings next Tuesday, will be what to do with the troublesome question of en dorsing ratification by the state legis lature of the national prohibitory amendment. Republican leaders are agreed that the republican state con vention will give such endorsement without any dispute. In the democratic convention the “drys", led by the Bryans, will Insist that ordinary political common sense dictates that the endorsement be giv en. They say that is the only way to cure the damage done by the refusal Of the governor and the democratic state senate to consider ratification at the special session last spring, and that It would be suicide to go before the voters, who adopted prohibition by 000 and who would double that major ity if It were again submitted, with a record of having refused to endorse ratification. The convention, however, Is likely to either dodge an endorsement or re fuse one. Most of tiie democratalc, "wet" leaders are irreconcilable. They say that this state never voted liqucn out of the homes but only voted tc close the saloons, and that it nevei would have voted “yes” on a born “dry" proposition. As national prohi bition means a bone “dry" state tor ah time, they are inclined to oppose rati fication endorsement. Besides to en dorse it would place Neville in a most embarrassing position, they say.

Neb., July 29.—The appro priation bill passed by the special leg islative session granting $12,800 In pay for members for per diem attendance became a law Friday and the monev Is now available for the use of thi, members—If they can get It. 'AudlfOr Smith has paid all Incidental expenses and labor bills, but he say* that pc, warrants will be drawn on this appro priation until a court orders It. The governor did not Include appropriation bills Id bja call, and the auditor thinks this bars their payment. He submitted the question to the attorney general's office, and the deputy there bas given an opinion that he is very doubtful of the legality, and suggests that some member of the legislature take it into court. Before the legislature adjourned a committee from each house was named to look after the litigation that it was then certain would follow the attempt to appropriate money, and It Is pre sumed this committee will get busv. An spproprlatlon of $3,100 to pay the rail road fare of ■ the members became available on April 9.

Admit Failure of Paris Drive; Germans Promised New Victory Washington, D. C., Aug. 1.—The German general staff has officially admitted that “the drive upon Paris is a failure,” but has promised the peo ple back home "a decisive blow will be delivered immediately against tho Anglo-French front.” In the communique entitled "the sit uation on the Marne,” which appeared yesterday in nearly every German pa per, no mention was made of Ameri can participation in the defeat. “The communique,” French cables stated, "attempts to make the German public, profoundly deceived, accept the total failure of the ambitious program which was destined to develop into the Invasion of Paris and the ultimate crushing of forces of the entente. "Hinaenburg's defense renews ‘a promise oi a decisive blow against the Anglo-French front,’ but states: ‘The physiognomy which-the struggle pre sents -on the front between Soissons »nd Rhelms and in the Champagne in 1 consequence of the German attack and the Anglo-French counter attack have led to the necessity of postponing for some time the decisive blow.' " With this end in view, said Ilin denburg’s communique, “a new basis for subsequent operations, proceedings for displacements and strategical re grouping” had to be created. While waiting until these prepara tions for future operations become completed, the confession says, the Germans have been forced “to retire to the northers direction of the Marne front.” “A retreat of about a dozen kilo meters or more would be sufficient,” the communique said, adding: “it is not thought necessary today that Hinden burg will find himself under obliga tions to withdraw his front as far back as the Vesle.” The German “interior front" is im plored not to renounce “its confidence in Hlndenburg on account of the with drawal." GERMAN COMMANDER IN UKRAINE IS KILLED Amsterdam, Aug. 1.—Field Marshal ton Eichhorn, the German commander in the Ukraine, and his adjutant, Cap tain von Dressier, were killed by a . bomb in Kiev Tuesday, says an of ficial announcement received here from the Ukrainian capital.

The bonfb was thrown from a cab which drove close io their carriage a3 they were approaching the field mar shal's residence. The assassin and the oab driver have been arres'cd. It has been established, the telegram declares, that the crime originated with the social revolutionists tn Mos cow. The assassin of Field Marshal von Eichhorn was a lad of 23. He declared at the Inquiry held after the crime, the advices state, that he came from the province of Ryazan, adjacent to Moscow, on orders from a communist committee to kill the field marshal. He reached Kiev yesterday. Gen. Hermann von Eichhorn, the Gor man mfiltary dictator of Ukraine, had a brilliant career in the armies of the Ger man emperor. He played an Important role tn the de velopment of the Gorman military ma chine. When the great war broke out he was assigned to the Russian front, where he took part in several campaigns. He was in command of the German army which captured the Russian stronghold of Kovno in August, 1815. He continued to direct operations in southern Poland until Rus si&’s collapse. In April he was sent to Ukraine to su pervise the establishment of a government for the new republic. Upon his arrival he placed the whole republic under German martial law and arrested members of the ministry who. he said, were conspiring against the central powers. The Ukrainian rada demanded his re call, but he was retained in Ukraine as virtual dictator. He brought about the overthrow of the Ukrainian government In May and suc ceeded in placing in authority General Skeropadskt who had since been operat ing under orders from General Von Eich horn. General Von Eichhorn put into effect the confiscation of all stores of food held in the Ukraine. Ruthless measures were adopted against peasants who opposed the confiscation. Late In May he sent an urgent appeal to Berlin asking that troops be sent to meet the menace of an insurrection ia Ukraine. It was later announced that' a large number of-1 troops were held subject to hts call. Then General Von Eichhorn asked that engineers, firemen and labor ers be sent to him so that the railroads could be kept running. General Von Elchbom was born on Feb ruary 13, 1848. at Breslau. He entered the army in 1866. UKRAINE IN TURMOIL.
