German Paper Says Wilson Wants England as an Ally Against Japan Berlin (Via London), Feb. 5. The Tagliche Rundschau says: "President Wilson has determined under all circumstances to preserve England's strong sea power, perhaps cnieny because ne wants to win ciir land as an ally against Japan, which has begun to set in motion 4W,UUU,UUU Chinese." The paper repels President Wilson s offer to distinguish between the Ger man people ad government and says: "We are fully united from the em peror to the humblest nay laborer. Our government did not resolve to begin submarine warfare against com merce over the heads of the people, but upon the impetuous demand of the people and in complete harmony with the popular assembly and the public will." The Post thinks that America's ac tive participation in the war can hard ly change the situation and that the joining of that country in the hostili ties can hardly bring greater help to the entente allies than already has been givea by munitions and, loans. The Boersen Zeitung sees in Presi With Moist Eyes Former Soldiers of Kaiser Swear to Fight for America War Crisis Spurs Fifty Sub jects of Foreign Powers to Pledge Lives to Your Uncle Samuel. PATRIOTISM IS RAMPANT An unprecedented "wave of patri otism" for their adopted country dashed over the temperaments of Omaha aliens when the news of the break with Germany came and they began surging into the court house bright and early Monday morning. Fifty former subjects of foreign pow ers took oat their second naturaliza tion papers and a host more declared their intention to become citizens of the United States. Of the half hundred hyphenated, American who applied for their sec ond papers nineteen were former sub jects of tne central powers in Europe, a half dozen having served as soldiers in the armies of the kaiser and the Austrian emperor. These nineteen raised their hands before Judge Day and swore to fight under the flag of the United States if they were needed, even though it be against the colors of the lands of their birth. i a The eyes of many of the old Teu tons moistened a they swore allegi ance to the United States, solemnly pledging themselves to fight against the kaiser, emperor or any other ruler from now on if they were called. , Reason for Rush, c The rush to legally get under the protection of their Uncle Sammy was prompted in a degree by the prospec tive naturalized Americans' knowl edge that the law says after a declara tion of war no alien ' enemy can be admitted to citizenship.

The Vorwaerts says that both sides should drop the talk about morality, and says! "The Americans have it easy in talking about the sacred loss of humanity which the Germans are treading under foot. .They are not threatened in their existence; they know nothing of the pleasures of life in the trenches and when they want bread, butter, bacon, cream, milk and eggs, they go to the next shop and buy what they want. Under such circumstances, it is easy to exalt the laws of humanity. Americans have a little right to make moral repre sentation to u as a portly citizen has the right to hidge a poor devil who comes into conflict with the law through drrt distress." declared their intention but have not taken out their second papers are ene mies in the event that war is de clared.

H. Williams, salesmanager of the Cushman Motor company, Lincoln, at the second regular meeting of the World's Salesmen congress last night at the Rome hotel. ' "Develoo a strong personality, he advised the salesmen. "Call customers by their names. There are numerous ways in which you can find out their names without coming right out and asking them.

Comment ill the morning newspapers treats the breach in diplomatic rela tions between 'the United States and Germany as a matter of great gravity, but all the editorials are calm and moderate. The avoidance of insult ing language and cutting epithets is especially noticeable. Most of the newspapers say the news created no surprise, some of them explaining that this step was expected. All the newspapers strongly reject the imputation that Germany has broken its promise made in its note of May 4, laying stress upon the fact that Germany's promise1 was ex pressly conditioned on President Wil son's success in bringing England to an observance of the laws of nations. It is generally assumed by the newspapers that the United States will make an early declaration of war against Germany, for they say the submarine campaign can hardly be prosecuted without the loss of some American lives. The newspapers say the country must meet war with America, as the lesser of two evils. The danger of the United States as a war factor is treated as comparatively tmrmportant, owing to the remoteness of the area of war and the time that would be required to create an army. The opin ion is evinced in some quarters that the submarines will decide the war before the United States can. take an active hand., Socialists Urge Wilson To Keep Out of the War The state executive committee of the socialist party, through its secre tary, G.
