TO JOIN IN, CIVIC WORK
Most Rev. Jeremiah J. Harty ar
rived in Omaha last evening to take
up his work as bishop of the Catholic
iiocese of Omaha.
The special train on which he came
was nearly three hours late, reaching
the Union station at 7:55. It was a
special only from Columbus, Neb. Tp
that point Archbishop Harty traveled
from Seattle in a special car attached
to a Union Pacific regular train. The
special triin left Omaha yesterday
morning, carrying many. Omaha
priests and a number of laymen. The
regular train was late reaching Co
lumbus dn account of bad weather in
Wyoming. When it arrived there the
archbishop's car was attached to the
special which came pn to Omaha
ahead of the regular train.
The first to greet the archbishop
herewas a tall man with his coat
collar urned up and his hat- drawn
down so thaf his face was hidden. The
archbishop shook his hand and then
the other suddenly (laughed aloud and
turned down his coat collar, at the
same time throwing his arm around
the archbishop. He was Father J. J.
O'Brien of St. Louis, former colleague
f the archbishop when the latter was
a parish priest in St. Louis. The
archbishop laughed too. - v.
Stops for a Picture.
Then the party went out through
the Union station, where' a little
group had gathered tj welcome the..
A photographer asked to take a, pic
ture. 1
"Why, certainly, said the arch
bishop. And when the party had
posed, he added, "Nok, let us all look
our best."
The picture was taken and then the
party proceeded through the station
and to the waiting automobile which
took the members to the bishop's resi
dence, Thirty-sixth and Burt streets.
There ivas-no formal reception there,
but just a pleasant timeor nana--ihakuior
and cordial greetings. ' . . ' ?
The new bishop of Omaha is a
genial, and almost a jolly man. He
expressed himself as desirous of co
operating with all other good forces
for the upbuilding and betterment of
Omaha. -
Will Work With Civic Forces.
"I want to do a big part in the civic
upbuilding of Omaha," he said, "I
wish to cooperate in these things
with the civic forces and with non
Catholic as well as with CathoKc
people." "
The men who went to Columbus
and came in on the special train with
the archbishop were enthusiastic in
their prSise of him.
"He's a prince," said "Dan"- But
ler and others voiced the same terse
admiration. -
The new archbishop bears the
double title of archbishop and bishop.
He came here direct from Manila,
Philippine islands, where, since June
6, 1903, he has been archbishop of
Manila. His title here will be Arch
bishop Bishop Harty. He was accom
panied from Seattle ,Wash., by Mgr.
A. M. Colaneri, Omaha; Bishop Ti-
hen, Lincoln and Bishop Mcuovern
Cheyenne.
Archbishop Bishop Harty looks well
and said he is feeling rne after, his
long trip and in spite of the radical
change from the climate of Manila to
the present temperature of Omaria.
Of course, he knows this climate, as
he was born in St. Louis in 1853 and
lived there until he left for Manila.
He will be installed as bishop of
Omaha next Ihursday morning in
the new St. Cecilia s pro-cathedral

(AMw!at4- Pmw War SmsiimtM ;y
Possible serious consequences not
only for the Roumanians' but for the
Russians are implied in today's an
nouncement from, Berlin of the cap
ture of the Roumanian town of Buzeu.
Military writers have largely assumed
it to be the Russo-Roumanian inten
tion to make a defensive stand along
the line of the Buzeu river, running
in a general easterly direction not far
from the southern border of Moldavia,
Roumania's northern province. '
If the taking of Buzeu, as appears,
breaks this important defensive line,
the whole Russo-Roumanian line
along the western Moldavian moun
tains seems endangered by flanking.
Stress has been laid by military
commentators on the importance pf
this line to. the Russians, as it has
been pointed to as one necessary to
be held if the Russian front in the
southern Carpathians and even in Ga
licia was to be preserved. Moreover,
it has been indicated the falling back
of the Russian front northward in
Moldavia beyond the mouth of the
Danube at Galata would open Bessa
rabia to possible invasion by the Teu
tonic armies.
Berlin reports an abortive offensive
by the French in the Verdun region.
Attacks made in attempts to retake
the positions lost by the French on
Hill 304, west of the Meuse, were re
pulsed, it is declared, as were assaults
on German positions pn Pepper, ridge
and near Fort llardaumont, east ol

Saloon Keepers in French Army
Object to the Ban Put On Alcohol
Paris, Dec. 15. The decision 01 the
government to prohibit the consump
tion during t' e remainder of the war
of alcoholic beverages, with the ex
ception of wines and beers, has
caused consternation in the liquor
trade, although it is ' ut the logical
culmination of a series of restrictive
measures which have been taken
since the outbreak of hostilities, such
as the suppression of absinthe in
March, 1915, the doubling of the tax
on spirits last June and the granting
to private individuals of the privilege
of distilling spirits from the produce
of their own Il.kIs.
M. Grizard, president of the Saloon
Keepers' federation, and M. Dclrose,
president of the Provision Dealers'
association, declare the new measure
will bring ruin to 380,000 saloon keep

shortage .of freight can, which for
months has been 1 brake on the
country's commerce and affected the
high cost of living, he remedy is
the railroads' own, proposed by the
car Service commission of the Ameri
can Railway association, and formally
approved by the federal commission.
The first regulation provides that a
consignee may h&vei the usual two
days to unload car.' and that there
after demurrage shall be charged at
the rate' of $1 for the first day, $2 for
the second, $3 for the third, and $5
for the fourth and each succeeding
day. ileretofore'the charge has been
uniformly $1 day, and many con
signees, notably automobile concerns
and coal dealers, are declared to have
been glad to permit shipments to
stand for lonir oeriods because the
penalty was so small that it com''
pared lavoranly with warcnouse
charges.
. ' Car Rental Raised.
Another order increases the daily
rental paid by railroads to each other
for cars from 45 to 75 cents per car,
or about 70 per cent. Some eastern
roads are said to have from 5,000 to
10,000 foreign can of a single type.
The order is expected to make serious
difficultie lor some small roads which
I never liave had sufficient equipment
of their own.
' Foreign cars on congested roads are
said to have come almost wholly from
southern and western roads. Reports
to the Interstate Commerce commis
sion show that they glut the railroad
yards and sidings of most eastern
lines and many in the middle west.
The trend of traffic, because of the
European demand for American
goods, has been overwhelmingly to
ward eastern seaports.
Further consideration of the prob
lem presented by the shortage of cars
is the subject of a conference here to
day of officials of eastern roads. A

of the country will be held here next

M. Riemain, secretary of the Anti-
Alcohol league, says the prom, ltion
measure will not injure the saloon
keepers, but, on the other hand, will
benefit them, as they would get small
profit with the doubled taxes on spir
its, while the sale ot wine, beer, cider,
tea and coffe- will yield handsome re
turns. The distillers will lose noth

whole ou'put will be taken for indus

WILL FORWARD NOTE SOON
Formal Proposal of Teutons
Probably Will Be Trans
mitted Shortly.
VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT
Washington, Dec. 15. It was of
ficially announced at the White
House tonight that the United States
would not accompany the Central
powers' peace proposals with any ex
pression of its own when they are
sent forward, and that it has not been
decided what steps will be taken later.
It also was officially stated that
physical difficulties were the only rea
son for rielav and that the notes
would be sent forward to the entente
capitals as soon as all were in a uni
form condition. .
Secretary Lansing said there was a
possibility that they might go for
ward tomorrow, but that it was not
certain. -
The note of the Turkish government
for transmission to the entente pow
ers was received af the Stte depart
ment late today. It is understood to
be substantially the same as lie Gcr
man and Austrian notes.
Washington, Dec. 15. President
WTfor. probably will not finally de
termine on any formal steps in con
nection w.th the peace proposals ot
the centra' power;, until after David
Lloyd George, the British ,jrime min
ister, has f,.okcu in the House of
Commons Tuesday.
In th m.antime, through the
American diplomatic representatives
in the capitals of the entente powers,
the American government will keep
in close touch with the situation.
No formal comm.... was forthcom
ing today either from the White
House or the State departmei.t. It
is' known to be the view of most of
the cabinet members that the Amer
ican government should move cau
tiously and do nothing to imperil ' if
influence for peace. f.
.iWffl Forward Note Todsy.y
Secretary Lansing early today held
his fust personal conference with
President Wilson since the peace pro
posals of the central powers were
made public. It was saiJ the formal
notes from Germany and Austria
might go forward before night, and
necessarily, in view of the probability
that tlie president would take no in
dependent action until after Lloyd
George has spoken in the Hoi.'.c of
Commons, they probably will be ac-companietr-
only by formal notes of
transmittal.
Wilson's View of Mediation.
President Wilson is known to at
tach great importance tov the possi
'nility of establishing an association
of nations to maintain peace He
outlined in definite terms the proce
dure he would take in initiating a
peace movement in the course of a
speech delivered here last May before
the League to Enforce Peace. At
that Une the president said: '
"If it fthnntrl pvnt hn nur nri,i!r,rr
to suggest or initiate the movement
for peace among the nations at war,
I am sure that the people of the
United States would wish their gov
ernment to move along these lines:
"First, such a settlement with re
gard to their own immediate inter
ests as the belligerents may agree
upon. We have nothing material of
any kind to ask for ourselves and are
quite aware that we are in 110 sense
or degree parties' to the present quar
rel. Our interest is only in, peace and
its future guarantees.
Security of the Sea.
"Second, a universal association of
the nations to maintain the inviolate
security of the highways of the seas
for the common and unhindered use
of all the nations of the world and
to prevent any war begun either con
trary to treaty covenants or without
warning, and full submission of the
causes to the opinion of the world, a
virtual guarantee of territorial in
tegrity and political independence."
