As If the hands of tinie had swung
ponderouBljr backward twenty-one
yearn, had taken a new start and tra
versed that period of duration In a
single hour, the high points In the
whole history of the Realm of
Qulvera were re-enacted on the
streets of Omaha Tuesday afternoon,
when all the former kings and queens
of Ak-Sar-Ben passed in magnificent
review in an automobile floral parade
that was imposing and dazzling.
For weeks the automobiles have been
in the process of being decorated with
natural and artificial flowers. Blossoms
of all grades of loveliness were showered
over the autos until every appearance
of a mechanical vehicle was smothered
in gorgeous colors, and when the floats
moved down the streets with their regal
urdena they seemed not to be on wheels.
but rather like perfumed barges to float
gently on the endless ripples of Qulvera's
sunshine.
For reveral years the floral parade has
been a feature of the Ak-Sar-Ben fes
tivities For several successive years
this feature has grown more grand.
Near y sixty flowered floats bloomed
Into line when the fourteen bands began
to play at Z o'clock at Sixteenth and
Cuming' streets.
Beginning with King Casper Tost and
Miss Helen Ecoble in a handsome float
encased in white flowers, trimmed In red,
with a bower literally covered with red
roars, led the parade.
The kings and queens followed In the
parade In the order of their relgnv down
to the reigning king and queen, Charles
D. Beaton and Miss Frances Hochstetler,
who occupied the last or the line of regal
floats, a float trimmed entirely in gold,
with a CAnopy of gold built over ths
throne, and a large golden crown set with
rich gems resting on the pinnacle of ths
canopy.
G. W. Wattles and his queen, Mary Lee
McShane Hosford. rode a beautiful float
of wild roses and ferns.
The former king Fred A. Nash, is the
only king of the long dynasty that la not
now living. His float was prepared, how

Competition Between Parade and
Sermon at Tabernacle Good
Test of Faith, Says
Kodeheaver.
MUSIC CAUSES DISTRACTION
Bands Drown Out Billy's Voice and
Entice Away Part of His
Audience.
WILL NOT DELAY TALK TONIGHT
"It's a fine thing for testing the
faith of folks." said Homer Kode
heaver at thfl tabernac'.e meeting
yesterday afternoon, "to have a time
like this and see whether the people
would rather go to hear a preacher
preach the word of God or go to see
a parade. Perhaps you can do both."
The tabernacle audience was only
about 1,200. by far the smallest it
has been at any meeting during the
campaign. Outside in the bright
sunshine the crowds were packed
along the streets and long before
Billy's sermon came to a close the
strains of music from the marching
bands floated Into the tabernacle
and Btlll farther subtracted from the
audience.
Billy only redoubled his efforts,
raising his voice to its highest pitch,
but it wasn't enough to "drown"' out
the bands.
He was asked st the close of ths
meeting whether the Wednesday evening
meeting would start early so as to be
over In time for the electrical parade
of Ak-Sar-Ben. Billy best a spirited
pompom on a convenient table with his
flat as he vigorously declared:
tVIP Not Wa'r f-r Parncle.

I don't care if the king of England and
Wllhelm, emperor of Oermany, and the
rsar ot Russia and the president of
Fiance are in town, I'll preach. People
that want to hear me can come to the
tabernacle. Those that want to sec the
parade can see that."
It was estlmsted that about half of the
small audience was made up of out-of-town
people A delegation from Fremont
numbered about K0, including about
110 from Fremont college. The latter
greeted "Rody" with a yell as hs en
teaed. When Mr. Sunday cams they
wanted to know "Whst's ths matter
with Billy Sunday?" answering the ques
tion in ths well-known stylo. The saroo
was waiting for "Ma" when she cama

vocal Jcrka, two convulsions and sj
flutted ow handkerchiefs. "Ma" went
up on the platform and told them,
"We're glad to see you here. You can
be sure of that."
Billy's subject was "The Value of
Prayer." Hs Illustrated it with many
stories of wonderful answers to prayer.
Hs pointed out that prayer is instinctive
as tho flight of the birds to the south
or the tendency of the squirrel to lay
up nuts in the fall and therefore it is
inspired by God.

VICTORY FOR U. S. PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. Secretary
Lansing announced today that Ger
many "had disavowed the sinking ot
the Arabic and was prepared to pay
Indemnity for tho American lives lost.
Secretary Lansing gave out the
text of a letter received today from
Count von ernstorff, the German am
bassador, which was as follows:
"My Pear Mr. Secretary: Prompted by
tho desire to reach a satisfactory agree
ment with regard to ths Arabic Incident,
my government has given ma the fol
lowing instructions:
"The orilors Issued by his majesty, the
emperor, to the commanders of the Ger
man submailncs. of which I notified you
on a previous occasion, has oeen mads so
stringent that the recurrence of Incidents
similar to the Arablo case is considered
out of ths question.
. ii an vows Act.
"According to the report of Commander
Schiwlaer of the submarine which sank
the Arabic, and his affidavit, as well aa
those of his men. Herr Schneider was
convinced that the Arablo Intended to
ram the submarine.
"On the other hand ths Imperial gov
ernment doea not doubt the good faith
of the affidavit of the British officers ot
ths Arabic, according to which ths Ara
bic did not Intend to ram the submarine.
The attack ot the submarine was under
taken against the instructions Issued to
the commander. Tha imperial govern
ment regrets and disavows this act anl
hss notified Commander Schneider so
cordlngly. "Under these circumstances my govern
ment is prepared to ray an Indemnity
for American lives. Which to Its deep
regret, have been lost on the Arabic I
am authorised - to negotlata - with you
about ths amount of this Indemnity.
"I remain, my dear Mr Lansing, yours)
very sincerely.
Pl7ie.1) . "J. VON BERNSTORFF."
Secretary Lansing said he would make
tio comment " on the ambassador's let
ter, aa ho considered tha text snoks itself.
' Inasmuch as ths ambassador U acting
with ths fullest powers conferred upon
, him by ths Berlin foreljn office his rep
' lesentatlons are considered as final, the
crisis Is considered passed and nothing
remains to tha Arabic case except tho
fixing of Indemnity, which will not be
dons by arbitration as Oermany first
proposed, but by dlplomatlo negotiations
between the two governments. These no
gotlatlons probably will begin orally.
Men Ha' Sarresa'al Oatcora.
In ths absence of official comment, the
ambassador's letter was generally re
garded as signalising a completely suc
cessful outcome for ths principles for
which President Wilson has contended
in tho submarine warfare controvsrsy,
which at least twice brought Oermany
and the L'nlted States to the brink ot
a break In dlplomatlo relations.
Inasmuch as ths Washington govern
ment has contended that the Arablo case
must first be settled before It could con
sider the question of Indemnity growing
out of ths sinking of the steamship LusU
tanla, for which Oermany has offered
to pay, it is believed that feature of the
controversy wl 1 be taken up.
