A MILITARY CENTER
Soldiers From All Over the State
Gather at Lincoln
Lincoln was an active military cen
ter Wednesday afternoon and night.
Nebraska soldiers from more than
twenty counties stretched their legs in
the state capital whiie en route to
Camp Funston, Fort Riley. More than
five hundred Douglas county lads
came in on an early afternoon special
and joined the Lancaster county units
I here. The train bearing the Lincoln
and Omaha boys was made up without
1 delay and started on its southern
journey. The farewell of thousands
of Lancaster county citizens to their
soldiery, was extended to the lads
from other counties.
Other Omaha units passed thru the
city later in the afternoon A special
carrying ninety-one soldiers from Per
kins. Frontier. Gosper. Chase and
j Hayes, reached the city shortly be
fore midnight and remained for near
ly half an hour.
Another special carrying 202 men
of the draft from Nance. Boone. Mad
| ison. Colfax. Dodge and Sarpy coun
ties. reached here shortly after 6 p
m. These soldiers had supper here.
They left for the southern camp about
midnight.
One hundred and ninety-seven sol
i dier boys from Dakota. Dixon. Cedar.
Wayne. Thurston. Burt and Washing
ton counties, passed thru the city late
i in the afternoon on a special out of

Coal Famine Not Likely
Possibiliti s of a coal famine in Ne
braska the coming winter are com
pletely dissipated by the announce
ment of the results of the census
which the Nebraska state council of
defense took of the coal situation and
just made public. One-fourth of the
total amount of coal needed in the
-tate during the next twelve months
is already on hand, according to the
information coal dealers have fur
nished the council Omaha and Lin
coin are particularly well providet
for. a'though exact figures have nor
been given out by the council. I'n
• officially, it Is said that in both cities
iher*- is a sufficient amount of coa.
in the yards of the dealers to look
aft r the entire need? for half of the
winter Probably 10 per cent more
cf the total amount needed has al
ready been contracted for and shortly
will be shipped. This is believed by
(he council to preclude any possibilit;
1 oi a coal famine during the winter ir.
either city.
Rate Case Hearing Postponed
Express rate cases will not be taken
up again for hearing by the Nebraska
railway commission until November 5,
having been postponed by general
agreement from the date of Septem
ber 27. This will give the railway
i ommi~sion's accounting department
six weeks more time to assemble ma
terial i.i defense of the present rates
and prepare for cross-examination of
the express companies officials, who
have already testihed.
Ruling Will Prevent Monopoly
As another measure to prevent
monopoly in the acquisition of min
eral rights on state school lands, the
board of educational lands and funds
has adopted a rule that prohibits the
sale of leases without the approval
of the board.
The board had specifically in mind, ,
it is Suid. when making this ruling ]

ern Nebraska buying up all the pot- !
ash leases for speculation.
Requirements for State Aid
Circular letters to ali city school

ing mailed out by A. H. Dixon, normal

j intendent's office, calling attention to
the requirements for state aid in nor
mal training work. To obtain state

Reports that speculators are at
tempting to corner the potato market
have been received by Food Adminis
trator Wattle=. The department is in
vestigating these reports, and if any
definite proof is found, he says, it
ill take definite and immediate ac- :
tion The interest of the consumer I

Slight Decrease in Uni. Registration
Figure on registration at the state

PLOT STIRS SOLONS
EXPOSURE OF GERMAN INTRIGUE
STARTLES WASHINGTON.
BERNSTORFF’S BUILT PROVEN
_
Made Effort to Obtain German Gold
to Bribe Congress—Heflin Seeks
Investigation.
Washington. Sept. L'4.—The Ameri
can government has revealed another
German intrigue which has caused a
big stir in the national capital. Score*
tarj Lansing made public on Friday
the text of a message sent by Count
von BernstoriT to Berlin last January,
asking authority to use S.VUIUO to in
fluence congress througli an organiza
tion which, the foreign office was re
minded. had performed similar serv
ice before. To supplement this move,
von Bernstorff suggested an official
declaration in favor of Ireland for its
effect here.
The organization to he employed
was not named in the message and Mr.
Lansing did no discuss it- identity.
It was freely suggested among other
officials, however, that it was one of
| the various so. ieties witch flmaled
members of the house and senate
with peace messages when President
Wilson was aski- g that a state of war
he recognized.
This disclosure adds another chap
ter to the amazing story itegun with
publication of the famous Zatmer
tnann note, in which Germany pro
posed alliance witli Mexico and Japan
against the Vnited States and which
ha' included tie German-Swedish
breaches of neutral ly in Argentina
and Mexico.

Teutons Anxious for Peace.
Amsterdam. Sept. “4.—The German
government, in ii> reply to the peace
note of 1’ojie Benedict, a copy of
which has beeu received here, "eher
islies a lively desire" that tiie appeal
may meet with success.
Emperor William, the German note
says, lias been following tie- efforts
of i lie pope toward peace for a con
siderable time with high respect.
Pence would come from the recent
proposals of I’ope Benedict if the bel
ligerent nations would enter into ne
gotiations in the sense of the pontiff's
suggesti.*ns. Enijieror Charles of Aus
tria-Hungary says iu his reply to the
Vatican note.
The emperor sees in the pope's
peace plan a suitable basis for start
ing negotiations toward a just and
lasting peace and expresses the hope
that the nations opiK'sing his own may
be animated by the same idea.
Austria-Hungary's ruler received the
pontiff's note with a thankful heart
and with an expression of hope that
the pontiff's efforts may lead to the
realization of the emperor's desire for
a lasting and honorable jieace for all
parties.
No Surprise at Washington.
Washington. P. t\. Sept. 24.—Favor
able replies from both Berlin and
Vienna to Poj>e Benedict's peace pro
posals were not unexpected in the
United States and the allied countries.
Whether or not the action of the
pope was influenced by Austria as
has been frequently suggested, the ac
ceptance of his peace plans by the
central powers falls in line with the j
policies of those governments in mak
ing their people fee! that they are !
waging a purely defensive war
against a group of nations bent ui>on
their destruction.

Many Women in this Condition Re
gain Health by Taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Convincing Proof of This Fact
Iiidgway, Penn. — “I suffered from female
trouble with backache and pain in my side for over
seven months so I could not do any of my work. I
was treated by three different doctors and was
getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me
how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had
helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my
health, so I now do all of my housework which is
not light as I have a little boy three years old.”
—Mrs. O. M. Rhines, Ridgway, Penn.
Mrs. Lindsey Now Keeps House For Seven.
Tennille, Ga.—“I want to tell you how much I have been benefited
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Yegetable Compound. About eight years ago I
got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in
the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly
all the time and could scarcely sleep at all. The doctor said I had a
severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always
be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist
advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work
in the garden some, too. I am so thankful I got this medicine. I feel
as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others and
they have been benefited”.—Mrs. \Y. E. Lindsey, R. R. 3, Tennille, Ga.

Needless Telephone Calls
—the Lines Are Very Busy
and Equipment is Scarce
The constantly increasing
scarcity of men and materials
is causing great difficulty in
getting and installing tele
phone equipment for the most
urgent needs.
Long distance telephone fa- /
cilities are loaded to their ut
most capacity, and local serv
ice in some localities is suf
fering on account of the con
ditions over which the tele
phone companies huve no con
trol.
As the war goes on. the
government’s requirements
for trained telephone men and
for service and equipment are
increasing. The present busi
ness activity is also likely to
be extended as the war con
tinues.
You can help the telephone
companies “do their bit” for
the government by asking for
no a i litional equipment un
le-s absolutely essential to
the conduct of your business
and by putting every possible
restraint on the unnecessary
and extravagant use of the
local and long distance serv
