The selection of Lieutenant Colo
nel Baehr of Omaha to be in com
mand of the men as they are mustered
into the service is a fitting recogni
tion of the work of a young and
experienced officer. He is popular
general satisfaction.
The first serious accident that" has
happened occurred yesterday when
Judge Advoate General E. J. Murfin
of Lincoln tipped a bottle of ink
over his brand-new uniform trous
ers. This was a serious matter, for
the colonel is not of petite form, and
it took two pairs of trousers to make
the ones the judge advocate was wear
ing. However, a' squad of men were
put to'work on the wounded trousers,
and this morning the judge appeared
as spic and span as usual.

HENRY FORD TO TAKE
TRACTORTOFREMONT
Auto Builder to Show His
Latest Coup in This State
for First Time.
HAS WORKED YEARS ON IT
A farm tractor that is expected to
work an epoch in the life of the
American farmer, will be exhibited
and demonstrated for the first time in
this state, on the occasion of the an
nual Fremont Tractor demonstration,
August 7 to 11. And it will.be a
Fordl
Announcement has been made that
Henry Ford and his son will bring
their tractor, upon which they have
been working- for years to perfect,
to the Fremont demonstration and
show its workings to the public for
the first time.
The., famous automobile manufac
turer and his only son are to come to
Nebraska in a special car, bringing
with them two of thel ong-anticipated
tractors, which farmers and tractor
men believe will revolutionize meth
ods of farming in this country. Al
though automobile tractor men and
the industrial and manufacturing
world in general have known of the
forthcoming machine for some time,
the demonstration at Fremont is to
mark its "premier" before the public.
It is said that the tractor will sell
for in the neighborhood of $300.
Of Interest to Farmers.
The announcement that the Fords
and their tractor is to be one of the
features of the Fremont demonstra
tion, will result in at least 10,000 more
farmers attending the affair.
Ford has had Omaha men down at
Fremont for some time testing the
soil and making preparations for the
demonstration.
Besides the Ford tractor, approxi
mately sixty other makes will be
demonstrated at Fremont. A 1,000
acre field is to be used for the demon
strations. Those in charge of the
event this year predict an attendance
of around 100,000 farmers from all
parts of the middle west.
This will be the fourth annual
demonstration, the original promot
ers of which was the Twentieth Cen
tury Farmer.
Mr. Naon Says Will
Be No-War Between
r:; U. S. and Mexico
New York, June 28. Romulo S.
Naon, Argentine ambassador to the
United States, issued a statement to
day in which he said that while he
had made no offer of mediation look
ing to the settlement of the differ
ences between the United States and
Mexico, he was "in candor confident
that the present crisis will be peace
fully settled."
The formal statemen; of the am
bassador, prompted, he said, by pub
lished reports that he had offered me
diation to the United States, says:
"I have made no offer, but it is un
necessary to say that the Argentine
government is always disposed to
work tor the peace ot America.
"Fan-Americanism, which is vital
for all the countries of the continent,
whether great or small, strong or
weaM ""kes a war between two
Amcriv.. Htions utterly inconceiva
ble. I -.. 'ih candor confident that
the present crisis will be peacefully
settled. We must make evident that
no matter how great the diferences
between two American governmeits,
the continental interests of union and
concord are supreme and inconsistent
with recourse to violence as a means
of settling international disputes in
America."
Ambasadcr Naon would not discuss
what basis he had for his feeling of
confidence.

CHAMPAGNE ASSAULTS FAIL
Berlin, June 28. (Via London.)
The great battle in Volhynia, where
the reinforced German army has suc
ceeded in checking the Russian ad
vance, has resulted in further reverses
for the Russians. Announcement was
made by the war office today that the
Germans have captured the village of
Winiewka, west of Sokul, and Russian
positions south ofthat point..
"Eastern front: The village of Win
niewka, west of Sokul and Russian
positions to the south of there were
taken by storm. Otherwise nothing
of importance occurred on the eastern
front.
"On the Balkan front there were
no developments apart from artillery
duels between the Vardar and Lake
Doiran.
"Western front: From La Bassee
canal to the region south of the
Somme, the enemy made reconnoiter
ing attacks, in conjunction with in
tense artillery fire and mine explo
sions and under the protection of
smoke and gas clouds, The attacks
were repulsed easily.
"In the Champagne, attacks by
weak detachments of the enemy
north of Luneville failed.
"On the left bank of the Meusei
nocturnal attacks by hand grenade
detachments of the enemy were re
pulsed. On the - right bank, the
French, after about twelve hours of
preparation, with the most intense ar
tillery fire throughout the whole of
yesterday attacked with strong forces,
consisting in part of fresh troops, the
positions captured by us on June 23
on the high ridge of Froi de Terre and
also the village of Fleury and the ad
joining lines to the east. The at
tacks broke down without exception,
the enemy suffering extraordinary
losses.
"On June 25, Lieutenant Hoehn
dorf put out of action his eleventh
enemy aeroplane, a French biplane,
near Raucourt. An enemy air man
was shot down near Doaumont.
"It is ascertained, on further In
quiry, that the report of June 23,
stating that some British prisoners
were taken among the attackers on
Karlsruhe is incorrect. All the pris
oners are French."

Orpet's arrival at the Chicago and
Northwestern station at Lake Forest.
It was here that Orpet telephoned
to Marion. The attorney asked Or

answered the telephone.
I asked her it she couldn t come

Objects to Proposed
German Regiment
New York, June 28. Mayor Mitch
el objects to the organization of a

exclusively of citizens of German
birth. He made public today a letter
in which he replied to the sugges
tion of a German resident of this
city that such a regiment be organ
ized. The mayor said in his letter that
he was of the opinion it would be
hurtful to draw racial lines in Amer
ican miltary affairs.
"I would deprecate ihe formation
of a regiment composed wholly of
men of any one nationality," he
added, "whether they be German,
French, Italian or . Russian, as this
might tend to draw the very racial
lines which I believe ought to be
avoided. I suggest that you urge
your men to join the regular organ
izations of the National Guard or such
other organizations as may be re
cruited by the federal authorities.
