Storm, Says Report.
TOFFEE THANKS GEN. EAIG
London, Sept. 29. An attack by
British troops on the Somrae front
early today resulted in' the capture of
a strongly defended farm 500 yards
southwest of Le Sars, the war office
announces.
The official statement follows:
"The night was quiet on the great
er part of our front. The positions we
have won north of Thiepval were
heavily shelled. Our bombing par
ties were active in the neighborhood
of the Schwaben redoubt and the
Hessian trench, parts of which are
still held by the enemy.
"A strongly defended farm 500
yards southeast of Le Sars Was cap
tured by our troops early this morn
ing.
"North of Vpres, two miles south
of Bertincourt, and soutneast or tsa-
paumc, our aeroplanes observed a
huge explosion as if a large ammuni
tion dump had blown up. The smoke
ascended y,uw teet.
Joffre Congratulates Haig.
British Front in France, Sept. 29
(Via London.) General Joffre, com
mander-in-chief of the French army,
has sent a message of congratulation
to General Sir Douglas Haig, commander-in-chief
of the British forces
in France and Belgium, on the recent
successes, in which the e rencn gen
eral says:
"Following on the continuous prog'
ress made by your armies since the
beginning of the aomme offensive
these, fresh successes are a sure guar
anty of final victory over the com
mon enemy, whose physical and mor
al forces are already severely shak
en." .
After saying that the combined of
fensive has bound still closer tne ties
of the two armies, and that our ad'
vtrsary will find therein a proof of
-oofr tlrnr tfgrwinmation to- combine
our efforts until the end to insure
the complete triumph of our cause.
General Joffre concludes:
"I bow before those of your sol'
diers bv whose bravery these sue
cesses have been achieved, but who
have fallen before the completion of
our task, and I ask you to convey, in
mv name and in the name of the
whole French army, to those who
stand ready for the battles to come,
greeting, comradeship, and confi
dence." German Lines Will Hold.
London, Sept. 29. The allies can
not break through the German lines
on the bomme, Chancellor Von Beth
mann-Hollweg told the Reichstag yes
terday, according to an account of
his speech cabled to Reuters by
wav of Amsterdam.
the German prime minister made
' a similar statement in regard to the
eastern front.
"The English and French, it is
true," he said, "have achieved ad
vantages. Our first lines have been
pressed back some kilometers and we
have also to deplore losses in men
and material. That was inevitable in
an offensive on such a mighty scale.
But what our enemies hoped to ac
complish, namely, break through on
a grand scale and roll up our positions
lias not been attained. The battle
of the Somme will cost further sacri
fices. Still another trench and an
other village may be lost, but they
will not get through."
In regard to the eastern front
where, the chancellor said the Rus
sians had renewed their offensive with
heavy attacks, he predicted the same
result. "Here, too, the battle is pro
ceeding," he said, "but just as surely
shall we hold our own.'

Ma and pa took a ride on "The
Whip."
This is the name of a riding device
on the Afc-Sar-Bcn jubilee grounds.
One ride will make you feel as if
you had quaffed several quaffs of the
hard cider the folks talk about down
in Vincennes, Ind. It just shakes all
of the grouch out of one and is bet
ter than a cup of strong tea for reviv
ing lagging spirits.
Yes, ma and pa had a ride on the
whip. Master Willie and Miss Doro
thy had a ride and then they con
spired to get pa On the whirling de
vice. Pa at first declined to join ma.
but when ma reminded him of his
younger days, when he" took her rid
ing on the merry-go-round, he re
lented and bought some tickets. It
rather upset pa's aplomb and dignity,
but he was so pleased with the expe
rience that he wanted to ride until
the jubilee grounds were closed for
the night.
Air Was Bracing.
The weather last evening was
slightly chilly around the edges on
the jubilee grounds, but that condi
tion of the atmosphere lent zest to
the occasion and served to keep the
crowds moving at a lively clip. It
cut into the attendance slightly, but
then, Colonel Welsh says it will warm
up again.
Listetnl What's that man talking
about? He is introducing the pyg
mies. Pygmies are human beings of
dwarf stature. They live in trees
twenty to forty feet from the ground
and use neither ladder nor ropes in
making their ascent. They carry the
bones of their late-lamented enemies
with them for good luck. So the
man said, and he must know, for he
has been with the Wortham shows
for a long time.
The happiest person on the ground v
was Prince Napoleon, a man of di
minutive size and with a flow of con
versation which makes the women
laugh. Napoleon is looking for a
wife and feels confident that before
the Ak-Sar-Ben season shall have
passed he will have found the woman
of his choice right here in Omaha.
He is 26 years of age and his home
is inJJostoiu.. He is about, two feet
in height ""'.'
Among the other notables are Mile.
Marie, the mile-a-minute girl; Lorita
and Lulu; Hattie, the strangest g irl
on earth; the fat girl who takes four
men to hug her; the diving girls;
monkey automobile races; the man
fish, and all sorts of wonderful and
interesting sights for the seeker after
carnival amusements.
The absence of confetti this season
is having a desirable effect, according
to statements of those in charge.
Word to the Kiddies.
Secretary Weaver wants to remind
the boys and girls of Omaha thai
Saturday will be children's day, when
all youngsters under 12 years of age
will be admtitcd to the grounds for
S cents each and to the shows at hall
price until 6 p. m. It will be a glor
ious time for the kiddies.
The carnival streets are wider this
season than they have been in past
seasons which is another convenient
feature of the jubilee grounds. The
general merit of the shows is above
the average and the deportment of at
tendants thus far has been commend
able. Child Burned to Death;
Mother and Girl May Die
Beatrice. Neb, Sept 29. (Special

John Larimore of this city was burned
to death and Mrs. Larimore and her
5-year-old daughter were probably
fatally burned in a fire which de
stroyed their moving wagon outfit
near St. Joseph, Mo., yesterday.
Larimore is a horse trader and he
and his family have been traveling

Mne Firemen Seriously
Burned at Waterloo
Waterloo, la., Sept. 29. (Special
Telegram.) Fire today consumed
the Bon Ton Cleaners' establishment,
which was a loss of only $500. The
flames from two gasoline explosions
seriously burned nine firemen, all of
whom came from the building burn

two hospitals but the condition of
Martin Burke, assistant chief, is re
garded as critical. Clothing was

CITES ELECTION RESULTS
Long Branch, If. Y., Sept. 29.
President Wilson made it plain to
night that he wants no "disloyal"
American to vote for him. He ex
pressed indignation over a telegram
from Jeremiah A. O'Leary of New
York, president of the American
Truth society, accusing him of being
pro-British and saying he had failed
to obtain compliance with American
rights.
The president sent Mr. O'Leary a
short telegram which officials indi
cated Mr. Wilson had desired to put
in stronger language. His message
follows:
"Your telegram received. I would
feel deeply mortified to have you or
anybody like you vote for me. Since
you have access to many disloyal
Americans and I have not, I will ask
you to convey this message to them."
O'Leary's Message.
Mr. O'Leary's telegram, given out
by the president, follows:
"Again we greet you with a popular
disapproval of your pro-British poli
cies. Last year from the Twenty
third New York congressional district
and now from our own state and from
the voters of your party. Seuator
Martine won because the voters of
New Jersey do not want any truckling
to the British empire nor do they want
dictatorship over congress.
"Your foreign policies, your failure
to secure compliance with all Amer
ican rights, your leniency with the
British empire, your approval of war
loans, the ammunition traffic, are is
sues in this campaign. Do you know
that William S. Bennett, a republican
congressman, ran in the democratic
primaries in the Twenty-third New
York congressional district and
polled 36 per cent of the total demo
cratic vote against his regular demo
cratic opponent?. Anglo-maniacs and
British interests may control news
papers, but they don't control Votes.
The people may be readers, but they
are not followers of the newspapers.
Vote for Martine and Bennett
"When, sir, will you respond to
these evidences of popular disapprov
al of your policies by action? The
Martine election and Bennett vote
prove you have lost support amongst
democrats.
"Every vote for Martine was a
vote against you, as was every dem
ocratic vote that went for Mr. Ben

In Second Battle

Additional derails of the battle of
Cusihuiriachic between the Carranza

here from General Ramos in the form
of an official report of the .fight.
The battle was, in reality, two en
gagements, one taking place on the
outskirts of Cusihuiriachic and the
other at a mountain settlement known
as La Bufa. After fighting for five
hours on the outskirts of Cusihuiria

treated to La Bufa, where, at dusk,
they made another desperate stand

was wounded, to General Trevino. At

With the railroad companies unrepre

the pleas of jobbers who do not want
the present class rater on various
lines of merchandise superseded by
the new rates which the carriers re

Denial Is Expected.
i It is expected the commission will
issue an order denying the amilica'
tion of the railroads to have their new
tariffs approved. The whole dispute
will be threshed nut in the federal
court at Sioux Falls tomorrow, in
conjunction with a similar contro
versy involving state and interstate
rates which conflict with each other.
The railroads stood oat todav in
declining to appear before the com

of the case. They maintain that the
Interstate Commerce commission has
superior authority and the new rates

PEACE ATPRESENT
Chancellor Says Germany's Po

Come. BITTER AGAINST BRITONS
Every Available Instrument of
Battle Will Be Used to the
Limit.
ROUMANIA IS A TRAITOR
Berling, Sept. 29. Via London.'
Germany will persevere until victory
is hers the Reichstag was told yester
day by Chancellor Von Bethmann-
Holtweg, according to the full text of
his speech, which was published here
today. The chancellor said that this
year s harvest had made Germany s
position more secure than was the
case last year
In his attack upon Great Britain he
declared that that country was break
ing one international law after an
other and was, above all, Germany's
most egotistical, fiercest and most ob
stinate enemy.
A German statesman, he said,
"who would hesitate to use against
this enemy every available instrument
of battle that wouid really shorten
this war such a staetsman should be
hanged. - ;
Ihe chancellor declared his con
tempt for those circulating reports
that all Germany's means of fighting
were not being employed to the fullest
possible cxtenf. He added that in
orde'r to disappoint the enemy, "who
M on watch for every breach of our
inner determination, he would not
give details. ''
When in August, 1914, he went on,
"we had to draw the sword, we knew
we had to protect our hearths and
homes against a mighty and almost
overwhelming coalition. Ardent, and;
until then unknown and often ignored
patriotism flamed up in all hearts, de
fying death and certain of victory.
Today, after two years of fighting,
struggling, suffering and dying, we
know more than ever before that
there is only one watch word, namely,
persevere and win. We will win.
Last winter there was pusillanimous
anxiety as to whether our foodstuffs
would suffice. They have sufficed..
This year's harvest makes us much
more secure, than was. the case last
year." . , f
In concluding his speech the chan

Berlin, Thursday, Sept. 28. (By
Wireless to Sayville, Sept. 29.) The
following semi-official account of to
