Stops Off for the Day After a Trip
All Oyer the Western
Country.
DEMOS ARE AT
LOGO
Henry Estabrook, formerly
and now of New Tork. wh.jecently
threw his hat In the ring for the republi
can nomination for the presidency,
stopped off in Omaha yesterday en route
from Kansas City to Chicago, where he
speaks today before the Hamilton club.
He had made an address Saturday before
the Commercial club of Kansas City.
"My principal- object In stopping here
was to visit the headquarters and see
how Mr. Craig Is getting along," he
vouchsafed.
When asked about the coming election
he said: "I predict a sweeping republican
victory, based to no little extent on the
six weeks' trip which I am completing,
and which has taken me over a large
part of the country. With unmlstake.
able indications for a reunited party, I
think there Is no question of the re
sult." I nltrd Republicans Bare.
Mr. Estabrook went on to say that a
united republican party was decidedly
more assured than a democratic one. In
Illustrating this he asserted that the fol
lowers of Roosevelt in the 1912 campaign
was in a great measure supporting his
personality, and that the principles of re
publicanism were never abated.
"And the democrats," he went on, "are
at loggerheads. Wilson has at last seen
the light, and has rallied to the support
of preparedness, while Bryan, the Moses
of the democratic party, as it were, la
rather leading his following Into the
wilderness, instead of out." Of his own
part In the campaign he did not care to
talk.
Germany Denounces
Reports of Famine
As Pure Inventions
BERLIN, Nov. 21. (By Wireless to
Tuckerton, N. J.) The semi-official
Overseas News agency gave out today
a statement designed to set forth actual
conditions in Germany and controvert
what it terms false reports spread by the
enemies of this country. The statement
follows:
"For some tlma now the English and
French press and wlreleks services have
been hard at work attempting to counter
balance the bad Impression made on the
whole world by the military and diplo
matic defeats suffered by these nations
tn the Balkans. For this purpose wild
stories about famine In Germaay have
teen Invented.
"Usually .the stories are something like
thlsi. Mobs, .running through the otreets
shrieking and nmnsmSiff shop windows;
regiments arrive; they fire at the crowd
and then mutiny. These gloomy reports
of course are clumsy Inventions. Aa a
matter of fact nowhere in Germany Is
there lack of pubUc order, and If Ire
land and India had always had as much
to eat as Germany now has, the English
would be less disliked In these parts of
tha world."

AFFAIRS BEGIN JANUARY 7
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. The pro
gram of official entertainments at
ihe White House, which will be re
sumed this winter after a lapse of a !
year, was announced tonight. The
program shows several changes from 1
that of previous years due mostly to
the Europeau war. The series of
dinners and rectptlons will not begin
until January 7, after the marriage
of President Wll ion to Mrs. Norman
Gait, and the new mistress of the
White House wUl tske her place at
all of them.
The big New Year's reception, at which
presidents In rt years have been ae
custnmrd to receive diplomats, officials,
army and navy offlrrrs, members of many
patriotic organisations, and all cltlsens
who presented themselves, will be omit
ted, aa it has been for the Inst two
years. The president and Mrs. vialt prob
ably will be away on their honeymoon
on that day.
Two Dinners tn Be Held,
The principal changes In the program
this year will be the cancelling of the
diplomatic) reception and the substitu
tion of two diplomatic dinners for the
one usually held. This departure was
decided on because of the Impossibility
of inviting diplomats representing the
opposing nations engaged In the war to
the same dinner.
3. J. Jusserand. the French ambassador,
dean of the diplomatic corps, will head
the Hat of guests at the dinner attended
by representatives 0f the allies, and Count
von Bernstorff. tha German ambasssdor,
who ranks after Ambassador Jusserand
In Ihe diplomatic corps, will be entitled
to the scat of honor at the other dinner.
How the ambassadors snd ministers repe
senttng neutral powers will be allotted
between the dinners has not been set
tled and Is admittedly a perplexing prob
lem. The first diplomatic," dinner will be
given January 21 and the second Janu
ary 25.
Opens Jaaaary T,
The series of entertainments will be
opened January 1 .with a Pan-America
reception In honor of delegates to the
Pan-American Scientific congress and
diplomats representing Central and South
American nations. Then will follow the
cabinet dinner, which will be attended by
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, the
two diplomatic dinners, the Judicial re
ception, a dinner to the supreme court;
the congrenslonal reception, a dinner to
Speaker Clark, which will be attended
by leaders of the senate and house and
several special guests, and, finally, the
army and navy reception.
The dinners will be held In the state
dining room in the White House, which
was complutcly repaired last summer. The
United States Marine band will furnish
musia at the reception, and the president
will be attended by fourteen military and
naval aides officially attached to the
White House. Preparations for the en
tertainments already have begun and
from now on a special staff of clerks will
work on the Invitations.
