THEY MET WITH MEASURE OF SUCCESS Giving Elegant Dinner, Holding Sale Of Donations. Red Cross Benefitted. i'liuii Sat inlay's Daily. At Lewistcn Church, south of this city, where immense prepara tions had been made for the ob serving of Thanksgiving day by a big dinner, and a sale of gifts which were donated for the pur pose of assisting the Ked Cross. The weather was such that the crowds did not come as freely as had been expected. During the day in the church, Frank R. Gohelman. with his clerk Miss Laura Meisinger, kept the Phonograph playing pat riotic airs and enlivening the occa sion. The tent which had been provid ed, was comfortable, and the iu-ide of the- church was cheerful. and appealed to those in attendance as being home like. It was expected io have had some four minute ad dresses, but there were no four min ute men there. Kev. Taylor i f Un ion, sang America, and tf.en fol lowed by a very patriotic prayer, preceding the dinner. Miss Etta Nichols in a few remarks said she was sorry that ihe w; at her had kept so many away, as prpparation had been made for the reeding or many, but that they would biake the best of the matter. The Lilies had worked hard, the fanners and merchants of the surrounding tov.r.s had given liberally cf their posses sions, which was to be sold, and a large crowd was desired for a mar ket. After the dinner the sale was held in the large tent which had been provided, and after Ihe re turns were all in, it Is reported that something towards five hund red dollars would be realized for the Ked Cross, the exact, amount had not been arrived at. and it might be more or less than that amount. The ladies had confidently counted on being able to have real ized one th'usand dollars if weather had been such as would have induced the peojdo to have at tended in large- numbers. i i RED CROSS CHRIST MAS ROLL CALL During the week of December 1 to l'::. will be held the Re-1 Cro--s .Membership Roll Call which is. in realty the annual membership cam paign. With the close of December 191S all Red Cross memberships, ex cept life expire. The Roll Call is to be held not only for the purpose of renewing the expiring member ships but to obtain new ones as well. Walter W. Head. Vice Presi dent of the Omaha National Rank has been chosen as the State Di rector of this Roll Call for Ne braska. He has already opened of fices adjacent to the other state Red Cross ollices. in the Farnani building in Omaha and entered ac tively into the wcrrk.

Relative to the Roll Call Mr. Head makes the following an nouncement : "In calling upon the people of Nebraska, who are members of the j Red Crots, to renew their niemher . ships I am confident that not one of ! them will fail to do so. I am eiual ! ly confident that those who are not j already members will take this op portunity to join. In the various (drives that have gone before. Ne j braska has made an enviable rec- : ord. She stands at the top and i forefront of other states in the un ion in this respect and is going to keep up the record. Our slogan for the coming Roll Call i--..

Fcrmer Crown Prince Looked Upon by Netherlands Government as Chief Element of Danger Talk of Extraditing. Loudon, Nov. 2S. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Amerongen, Holland, says the stories regarding the former German emperor's princely surroundings and big din ner parties and similar functions are not a. 1 together true. The most striking feature of the daily life of William Hohenzollern. the corre spondent continues, is the mass of correspondence to which he devotes most of his morninu;:. and apparent ly unrestricted by the Dutch gov ernment he is kept accurately in formed of every development in Ger many and elsewhere, and is report ed to lie able to keep in pretty close touch with the other side of the frontier. The correspondent says he learns, on good authority, that The Nether lands government considers the for mer crown prince the only danger ous intriguer, the former emperor's day being regarded as ended. It is commonly reported at Amer oniroii, the correspondent declares, that William Hohenzollern will not be there loner, but it is uncertain whither he will go. Have Right , to Extradite. Paris. Nov. JC- William llohen zollern can be extradited. In tlie orinion of Professor Rarthelemy, of the Paris Jaw faculty, who explain5? that his guiding principle is that when there is an apparent conflict betv. e mi law and common sense the --olution is always found by follow ing the latter. The theory that a polit ieaP crime is any crime inspir ed by purely political motives, the professor declares has long been ebandoncd. He notes that Uelgium in ISafi classed regicides among common law criminals. Crimes such as the assassinations cf president Carnot of France and King Hum bert of Italy, were inspired by po litical motives, he points out, and yet the authors of them were exe cuted. The atrocities ordered by farmer Fmperor William, the pro fessor continues, are condemned even in a state of war by interna tional law and constitute common law crimes. To maintain that they are not because. the object for which tloy were committed was political b:. he argues, an absurdity. Kaiser Not Yet Done With. London. Nov. 1'S. "It would be a great mistake to suppose the kaiser is done with; he has many adherents in Germany who are quite resolved not to take the recent de feat lying down," is the opinion, given the Daily Mail's correspond ent nt The Hague by a Ducth citi zen who spent the whole period of the revolution in Rremerhaven and now has returned to Holland. The returned Dutchman estimates the proportion of loyalists to revolu tionists as one to two. and he says a large number of soldiers are what might be called "true to the kaiser." It must not be imagined, he in sists, that the German army, altho smaller than before has ceased to exist. On the contrary, he repre sents it as very much in existence and moreover, commanded by gen erals devoted to the former emper or's cause. The correspondent's informant did not doubt that .something in the shape of a counter revolution would be attempted before long. He said the red flag is still freely display ed in Rremerha v'Mi, but he beard that it had almost disappeared in the Rhine district. In connection with the reports that the resignations of Dr. Solf. the German foreign secretary, and Mathias Erzbergcr, another mem ber of the cabinet, are expected, it is stated in a Copenhagen message that documents are to be published containing many compromising facts regarding the activities of Erzberger during the earlier years of the war. Mrs. Isley's Letter. In a recent letter Mrs. I"). W. Isley of Litchfield, 111., says "I have used Chamberlain's Tablets for dis orders of the stomach and as a laxative, and have found them a quick and sure relief." If ycu are troubled with indigestion or consti pation these tablets will do you ! good." " TO MUSTER OUT S. A, T. C. SOON From Saturday's Daily. The latest announcement from the War Department is to the effect that the Students Array Training Corps, a new branch of he U. S. army orga nized in September, is to be mus tered out beginning the first of De cember. There are units of this branch distributed over Nebraska in general, the two largest being at the state university at Lincoln, wrhere a total of 1900 men are enrolled and Creighton college at Omaha, with an enrollment of around 500. At the state university are some two score of Cass county boys, who were in ducted during the month of October. With the signing of the armistice it was a matter of some speculation in army circles what disposition would be made of the S. A. T. C, many pre dicting it would be continued until the close of the school year and then disbanded. The demobilization of this force will put the state univer sity and other schools back on a pre war basis but it will take some lit tle time to reorganize their working force to raeet the suddenly changed condition. Military training com prised a large part of the training given tlie young men enrolled and their spirits were kept up by the ever possible chance of being chosen to attend an officers training school, but when the O T calls were canceled the boys began to lose interest in army routine and it has been hard to keep the thing moving along as it should. Those who had already bten sent to officers trainiug camps are given their choice of remaining and completing the course, being put on the reserve list subject to call, or of being returned to a civilian status and many of them are choosing the latter.
