returning by the way of New York,
Boston or Mud precinct, and visiting
with the wife's folks for a few days.

Are Made Part of
Officers' Reserve
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5. The military
department of the University of Ne
braska has been made a part of the
federal reserve officers' training corps
under the national defense act, accord
ing to word received by Chancellor
tvery.
T-l . ... ..
j ne university s application was

of the insistence of the chancellor
tnat the regents retain the power of
excuse. The government now has
yielded the point. As a result, the
university's cadets, about 600 in num
ber, will, under certain conditions, re
ceive pay and more complete instruc
tion will be given.
Vt the end of two years' drill work,
as required now in the school, stu
dents will be permitted to enlist in
the reserve corps and continue the
work at a salary of about $9 a month,
with regulation United States mili
tary uniform furnished free.
The students in their junior and
senior years will draw full summer
camp pay in training camps and serve
for six months after graduation with
the rank of first lieutenants in the
army with lieutenant's full pay. They
then are placed in the reserves.
Commissioner in
Boone County Files
Suit to Test Law
Albion, Neb., Jan. 5. (Special.)
Michael Cavey, county commissioner
of Boone county for the last seven
years, and who was defeated at the
last election, has restrained the suc
cessful candidate, Reigle, from taking
his seat, and the other two commis
sioners from recognizing Reifele as
a commissioner. '
The action is based on the theory
that the terms have been contused
by the conflicting three and four-year
statutes, and that the expiration of
the present term is not until 1918, the
election lust fall therefore ' being a
nullity, confering no authority on Rei
gle, and Cavey holds over until the
next election in 1918.
Cavey has a number of attorneys,
some of wide reputation, to try the
case on the theory set forth.

President Wilson's note. It is the belief of the New York Times that Count von Bernstorff stands
quite alone in this country in his view that Germany's note should be regarded "as constituting
an acceptance of everything suggested by President Wilson in his note to the belligerent nations
of Europe." On the other hand the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung affirms that Berlin's reply marks
"a further step on the right road," and that "Germany has taken up her position completely on
the same ground as President Wilson" in planning for the prevention of future wars.
The Allies say they want restitution, reparation and guarantees of future security. Ger
many's reply to the President's note states a desire for "an immediate meeting of delegates" be
( fore terms are disclosed. This injects a new point of friction. Shall the delegates meet first, or
terms be stated first? Is Germany sincerely working for peace, or cleverly avoiding the Presi
dent's request? ,

upon the entire situation in a brief space of time.

and invention, each article made up from the com
bined statements and opinions of a large number of
periodicals of every shade of conviction, political,
racial and social. Every copy thus constitutes the
finest kind of history, not the brand we are used to
dignify by the name, made long after the events
described by a single writer of more or less bias,
but manufactured on the spot by scores of eye-witnesses,
whose composite viewpoint comes as near
to being the cold truth as any human evidence can '
aspire to be. These copies, kept and bound to
gether, will furnish an unrivaled history for your
or your children's reading in years to come.
