    Germany to Deny
It Started War
Letter Advising Nation Is
About to Publish Proclama
tion Riles French.
Geneva, Sept. *.—Prime Minister
MacDonald of Great Britain, Premier
Herriot of France and Premier Theu
nis of Belgium today received a letter
from Chancellor Marx of Germany,
declaring he felt obliged to publish
immediately the proclamation of Ger
many refusing all responsibility for
having caused the world war.
Chancellor Marx added that publi
cation of the proclamation which at
tracts Germany’s admission of war
gliilt, was deferred to avoid hindering
the negotiations st the recent interna
tional conference in London, but that
it would lead to a change in the
lmlicy of Germany regarding the
agreements signed in London.
As soon as he had received the let
ter, Premier Herriot made known to
the German government that the let
ter had made a bad impression upon
him and indicated the probable unfor
tunate consequences the publication
would have in connection with the
attitude of the French government.
BLIND WOMAN
DOES OWN WORK
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee
Clarinda, la.. Sept. 6.—In a neat
little bungalow in Clarinda, a house
keeper, blind for 15 years, has con
tinued st the helm, preparing the
meals, replenishing the fire, keeping
the rooms tidy, doing everything a
housekeeper ought to do except the
laundry work, baking and running
the sewing machine.
f Mrs. Synthia Jane Early suffered
a sunstroke following a morning’s
work in her garden.
She became blind but she does not
bemoan conditions depriving her of
her sight. She Is happy, active and
contented. She says it is good to
be alive, and be busy, and to be able
to “feel” the sunshine, hear the mu
sic of nature and the voices of happy
children, and drink in the fragrance
of her flowers.
For centuries in China a woman
has had the choice of keeping her
maiden name after marriage.

'Tramp, tramp, tramp.
The boyg are marching.'*
It'B a dandy tune to Bing while
sitting comfortably In an easy chair.
It Isn't quite ao Interesting when you
are one of the boys who are doing
the tramp-tramp-tramp of 15 to 20
miles a day.
"Them's the sentiments" of the 900
members of the gallant Seventeenth
Infantry who are now getting back
to Forts Omaha and Crook from their
summer training at Forts Des Moines
and Leavenworth.
Part of the training is to march
the 140 miles between here and Des
Moines and the 200 miles between
here and Leavenworth.
Last May the first battalion march
ed away from Fort Crook to Leaven
worth, the second marched out of
Fort Omaha for Des Moines and the
third marched out of Fort Omaha to
Leavenworth.
•'Tramp, tramp, tramp,
The boys are marching."
But. that wasn’t the song they sang.
By the time they marched 15 to 20
miles a day they didn’t feel much
like singing or reciting poetry.
50 Per Cent Darker.
All through the summer there was
a black specter that loomed ahead.
It was the prospect of the march
back to barracks. The specter was
about 50 per cent blacker for the men
at Leavenworth because Leaven
worth is 50 per cent farther from
Omaha than Des Moines.
But the things that make us groan
and fret are the things that haven't
happened yet.
Observe how this truism is Illus
trated in the two camps where the
900 men, the 1,800 feet waited the
expected call to the open road.
Right well they did their tasks all
summer. So well, in fact, that there
came an order from the Great White
Father in Washington, cancelling the
march back to Omaha. The 900 ne
phews were so darn good, according
to their Uncle Sam that he had de
cided to “send ’em home on the
cushions."
Yes. sir. that's what uncle did. A
nice old relative he is. When the
news ran round the camp there was
Joy like that of armistice day. For
five hours on the soft cushions is
better than 10 days on the hard

Golden Jubilee
for Hospe Firm
Omaha Merchant Celebrating
50 Years in Busines With
Bargain Festival.
A golden jubilee.
That’s what the A. Hospe company
is starting this week.
For 00 years Mr. Hospe has been a
merchant in Omaha. In the period he
has made purchases from hundreds
of factories, and his books today show
300/ factories from which he buys.
Mr. Hospe derided that 50 years in
business In one elty was an event
that should he celebrated properly, so
he took up the subject with the 300
firms with which he does business
and they promptly agreed that the
occasion was a fitting one on which
to make price concessions which in
turn could be passed on to the buy
ing public.
Thus Mr. Hospe's golden jubilee be
comes a golden Jubilee bargain fes
tival.
"I have personally conducted this
business for 50 years*” said Mr. Hospe.
"I am selling today the same lines
that I started out with. They are all
good lines, as my many patrons will
testify.”
A personal gift from Mr. Hospe
will accompany each purchase /luring
the golden jubilee.
