The .President Declaring .It .Has "Freed the Way for Con stitutional Life.' Premier Also Holds Must Be Larger Measure of Nationalistic Autonomy. Vienna, Via Amsterdam, July 17. The lower house has adjourned in definitely. The president in conclud ing his speech, said, "We again have freed the way for constitutional life. We have strengthened the assured position of the house. May it have the strength to fulfill the great task of rebuilding the empire." Austria-Hungary's ideas on peace were made known to the constitution committee of the reichstag in an ad dress by the premier, Dr. von Seyd- ler. After referring to the unbreakable unity between Austria and her allies, Dr. von Seydler declared parliament would work for "the aim for which Austria is righting, namely, the un assailable, sacred right of her peoples to decide for themselves their internal destiny. This task, at the same time, will be a long stride in the direction of an honorable peace which we de sire to create on the basis of justice, moderation and conciliation the firm unity of all civilized peoples and their uniform endeavor to abolish those circumstances which brought about the world war. We are all longing for this peace. Until then we aro de termined to hold on in firm co-opera tion between front and homeland." Dr. von Seydler referred to the use- Iessness of all past efforts to carry out the principle of equal rights of all nationalities laid down in the con stitution. Thiji. he said was the cause of the political troubles which made Austria appear sick, a state which, however, every clear-minded person knew was untrue. All peo ples of Austria were united external ly and internally by a common tie. by love of dynasty and the uniformity of all vital interests. ARRIVES FROM SOUTH DAKOTA From "Wednesday's Iaily.

Announcement by Judge Oldham of his plans for broadening the activities cf the County Council of Defense so it may work in a bigger way with the State Council, should strike a responsive chord in the hcaits and minds of the men and women of the country. The Red Cross drive and the Lib erty bond sale being over and the fund raised for the Y. M. C. A. war relief, it is time the men particularly were finding something else to do to help in the war preparations. Then the question presents itself to all who are not going to the front, "what can I do for my country?" and the answer is, "join the County Coun cil of Defense; and help ferret out disloyalty, and follow the instruction? 0 OTPS If you read the following letter you will order a Worm Steering Gear attached to your Ford Twin Falls, Idaho, June 26, 1017- SrRAGLE Mkg. Co., f0 So. lith St., Omaha, Neb. - Gentlemen: Last week I was out on the road right behind an other Ford, a new or.e, and honestly he was not in the road 10 ft. at a time. He was continually from one side to another. While 1 was perfectly able to stay right in the center and to pick the very best place for the wheels. Before getting your Worm Gear I never dared to pass anyone from behind, and when meeting a car I was on needles and pins for fear my car would strike a hole and run into the other car. The roads here get very rutty and deep with dust around the loose soil and many times I have twisted my Steering Wheel half ways around only to sea the road wheels keep right on going in the opposite direction. I am husky and strong, but that did not help any, or even if I did turn the hand wheel it had no effect on the road wheels except on smooth roads, and then when finally the wheels did come around, they came around with a snap, just like a rubber band that is let go off- Then the car would fly off the load ar.d the ether side before I could stop it. Once while my wife was driving-it right on Main Street of Buhl, one of the front wheels struck something, the car turned right across the street and if it had not been for the engine stalling when the wheels struck the curb the car would have .got right up on the side walk ard run right into a plate glass window. Once I did see a Ford that hopped right up on the sidewalk and knocked a woman down; at that time I blamed the driver, but I know now that he could not help it, as they are liable to do that any time. I would have disposed of my Ford this Spring if I had not got your Worm Gear. Now I would not trade it for nothing less than an $800.00 Car. I sure shall be glad to boost for you and you can refer to 'me at any time. ' Also another important matter, I am sure that your Worm Gear saves its cost on a single set of tires, as that old time lack of control, running into everything and skidding all over the road, as well as most of the available , country on the side of the road, surely must be hard on tires- Respectfully, - A. SWAUSIE. For Sale By Western Machine & Foundry Co. Plattsmouth, Neb. r j l K P.J El fj b; 32 along patriotic lines that the state organization is giving out from time to time."' Judge Oldham intends to give a series of patriotic meetings through the county when prominent men will be asked to talk along the lines that will do the most to promote the neces sary things at this time. There is a feeling that cannot be sidestepped among the people that the war is as good as over, because of the alleged internal dissensions in Germany. This official Washington indicates, is wrong, and people must be aroused to the duty they have fac ing them. This will be part of the work "of the active propagonda of the county council.
