Omaha Loses Chance

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. .-(Speclal Tel

portunity to entertain the Grand Army

last moment of voting by the national
encampment it was hoped by the friends
of the Gate City a proposition would be
received from Omaha Inviting the vet

to vote for the city which only for a

'TREASON!' CRIES
FARMER DELEGATE
Session Waxes Exceedingly Warm
Over Endorsing Foreign Policy
of President Wilson.
WILSON IS FINALLY ENDORSED
Treasonl" f '
Th ugly word rang through the
convention hall of the National
farm congress at the Hotel Rome
this morning. .
It was directed at Charlea Wooster
of Silver Creek, Neb., by State Sena
tor J. D. Brown of Leon, la.
Brown la a veteran of the civil war
who marched and fought for years.
Wooster is a farmer who raises huge
crops of Ink with which to write let
ters to the letter columns of the
newspapers on all subjects from as
tronomy to Invasions of Berlin.
The fight occurred over the proposed
resolution to commend the foreign policy
of President Wilson.
Following Is the resolution as It was In
troduced and as it was finally adopted
after the fight:
"Resolved, That this congress com
mends the foreign policy of President
Wilton while standing at the head of the
American nation during one of the most
critical and trying periods of its history,
"Resolved, That we express absolute
confidence In his courage, patriotism and
diplomatic ability.
Resolved. That we offer him our loyal
support In his efforts to protect, the

' "Back again! The big show la on!"
Aa they say In advance of Jingling
Bros., "bigger, and better than ever
before!" And this time It's true.
The King's Highway blossomed
forth last evening in one of the
most complete opening nights of all
carnival history and a crowd that
entered Into the featlval spirit that
would do credit to the affair a week
hence.
This year the carnival grounds are
on Fifteenth street, from Howard to
Jones, and the length of King Ak-Sar-Ben's
Broadway Is a blaze of
lights, song, music and confetti, such
as has ne'er been seen on Its expanse.
Everyone appeared to be delighted with
the new location, which' is 61 the heart
of the hotel district, and on a level
stretch. This particular seemed to
strike the out-of-town visitors who hsve
oome to Omaha In seasons past and are
here now.
For the start of the' merrymaking It is
doubtful. If ever, has the carnival grounds
been as well prepared for the king's sub
jects. The booths - are fully decorated
and manned with crews that are hep to
the Job, without any practice.
Some Showa There.
As for the shows! La, me! Why.
they're the very essence of delight.
Everything from Alaska on a six by six
wagon frame to the "girl In the auta."
This young and beautiful woman whirls
around a circular track at the rate of
something over ninety-nine and seven
eighths mile, an hour, standing nut l.ke
the skirts on great-grandmother's hoops
in operation. A ten-trie engine of speed,
painted vividly, rests in front of this
breath-bottling attraction, almost an ex
act duplicate of the fourteen-c Under
"Rearkat" In which the girl annoys pa-r
ctftsts and laws of gravity.

Including the "hot dog," one of the moat
horrible brutes in captivity. Other little
things, such as lying lions, panting pan

GENERAL MOVEMENT EXPECTED
R( l.l.KTIV
LONDON, Bepi. ju. Th great
struggle on the western front has
now resolved Itself clearly into a bat
tle for Lens, in Pas De Calais, nlna
miles northeast of Arras. The cap
ture of this town, with its radiating
railways, would bring Into the fore
ground the possibility of retaking
Lille.
Both north and south of Lens, the
allies hold high ground dominating
the town the British 0u Hill No.
70, the French on Hill No. 140, the
high crest between Souches and
Vlmy. The official report from Paris
last night said merely that this crest
had been reached so that presumably
a terrific counter attack is raging
there today, with final mastery of
this important position at stake.
Rain, fog and so g pry ground have
been hampering both the contender
and limiting the activities of air
craft. A few days of clar. dry
weather might hare a marked effect
on developments.

Offensive Thlrtr Miles Lssg.
The offensive of the allies thus far
haa been confined to stretches of the
front amounting to lees than thirty
miles In all. The general belief In Eng

prelude to what ts coming. At any rate
the public would be disappointed if the
movement were not sustained.

the shifting of German forces from the

Little Girl Kidnaped
" by Four Armed Men
C1WCAOO, IU., Sept. SO.-Marguertte
Groelano, 13, Cauhter of Vlao Oroslano,
a wealthy farmer and contractor of
Harvard, 111., near here, waa kidnaped
here last night by four armed men, who
escaped in an automobile. The men
drove the car up to the door of Gro
iano's home and at the point of rifles
commended the girl, who responded to
their knock to get into the automo
bile. Before the father could load his
rifle the automobile was speeding down
the road.
Posses were sent throughout the sur
rounding country, but Oroslano waa un
able to furnish the authorities with a
definite description of the car.
"They took my daughter for ransom,'
he said. "It's some fellows who have a
grudge against me. Thoy want money.
I'll get a letter in a few days."
