That the Germans arc prepared to
CO to almost any length in sacrifices
of men to hold the situation on the
western front in hand seems appar

Along the line held by the French
the effort is taking the form of al
most ceaseless counter attacking,
both in the Aisnc region and in the
Champagne.
. Although suffering a sanguinary re
pulse on Sunday in repeated attacks
on the Vauclercand Californie pla
teaus, they made a new thrust last
night further west, near Froidmont
farm, along the Ocmin-Des-Dames
plateau. 4 The Paris report shows this
to have had some measure of suc

French Official Report.
Pans, June 4 The Germans have
forced their way into French advanced
positions near Froidmont, the war of
fice announced this morning.
The statement follows:
"The artillery fighting became vio
lent late yesterday northwest of
Froudmont farm. An attack at about
in .l. t: - 7
iv p. in. against mc saueni in our une
enabled the enemy to get a footing
in advanced positions. On the front
of the Vauclerc and Californie
plateau the Germans did not renew
their attacks after their sanguinary
repulse yesterday, confining their ef
forts to rather heavy bombardment
"In the Champagne we made a sur
prise attack on the German trenches
east, of Teton,1 taking prisoners and
caprurinB"three machine guns. 1
"On June 2 and 3 our pilots brought
down six' German1 airplanes and one
captive balloon. ' Our anti-aircraft
guns brought down three machines,
the occupants, of whom three were
officers, were made prisoners; Enemy
machines dropped bombs in the region
of Nancy and on Dunkirk, it is re
ported that there were several vic
tims among the civilian population of
Dunkirk." '

to this concern $732.38 wrongfully col

The jury, at the same timerefused
to order the collector to return the
tax of 10 cents a pound collected from
Kirschbraun & Sons on the particular
batch of butter seised in 1912.
The tax was levied by the collector
because butter examined was found to
contain mote than the 16' per cent

INSURANCE COMPANY
CHANGES ITS NAME
Policyholders Unanimously Vote
to Drop "German" and Sub
stitute "North Ameri
; : can" in Title. v.
t An important change in the ex
istence of one of the great Omaha in
surance companies was quietly
brought about when the name of the
German-American was changed to
North American, . . . , ,
This was done at the home office of
the company in The Bee building on
Saturday, June 2, when a special meet
ing of policyholders was held for that
Purpose, Everyone of the more than
4,000 policyholders was present in
person or by proxy, and the vote for
the change was unanimous. Here
.fter the organiiation will be known
as the North American Life Insur
ance company of Omaha.
; The change had been sanctioned by
the insurance department of Ne
braska, and amended articles of in
corporation, containing the change
have been filed. Tjhe validity of the
policies issued heretofore issued are
in full force. Only the name of the
company is involved in the change.
It is noted by the officers of the
company that the month of May, dur
ing which the change was under con
sideration by the policyholders, was
best month for business the company
has ever had. They look on that as a
good omen for the future.
The North American has enjoyed
a steady and healthy growth and now
has assets of $700,000, with $12,000,
000 of insurance in force. It officers
are G, Lj E. Klingbeil, president;
George Haslan, vice president; W.
W. Young, treasurer and general at
torney; V. D. Hall, secretary, and W.
B. Young, actuary.
Women Must Sacrifice '
Complexions as War Aid
That the United States never will
be able to float its $7,000,000,000 Lib
erty war loan unless women make
some sacrifice, was the statement of
Mrs. Christian Andersen, member of
the Woman's club.
"I would suggest that every woman
give up powder and paint and cut
down on the cost of her togs during
the time of the war." Mrs. Andersen
said. "Women simply must make a
sacrifice." ;
Mrs; Andersen purchased a Lib
erty bond Monday morning.

U. S. Schooner Robbed
By Mexican Qunboat
Galveston, Tex., lunc 4. The
American fishing schooner Areas was
boarded, by the crew of a Mexican
gunboat off the coast of Tehauntepec,
Mex., on the high seas on May 31
and looted of clothing, fishing gear
and medicine chest. This news was
brought here this morning by Captain
S. A, MacDonald of the Areas, who
arrived in port directly from the scene
of the robbery. i
Has Arm Broken in Three

George Laible, 37 years old, 3644
Vinton street, engineer for Evans
laundry, had his left arm broken in

hand in a belting which he was try

his assistance and turned off the

hospital in the police patrol.
of hurtful inflation in war time when
such great bond issues must be made.
A reasonable amount of wholesome
taxation properly distributed is the
best corrective. The worst mistake
made by the federal government at
the. outbreak of the civil war was its
failure to impose taxation vigorously
; and sufficiently.
"This led to a train of evils, hurtful
i to the credit of the government and
I resulted in unnecessary sacrifices of
human lite and treasure.
Over Subscribe the Bonds.
"To me it is a sad spectacle to see
committees of various kinds coming
I to Washington and urging congress
I that the narticular interest they rep
resent be relieved of taxation, when
at the saene time our gallant boys are
walking uncomplainingly to the reg
istration officers throughout the land,
signifying their willingness to die, if
need be, in their country's cause.
"You men and women who create
public opinion in this country must
make yourselves heard and tell your
representatives "in congress that you
arc not willing to support any policy
which is more considerate of the in
terests of property than it is of the
lives of our brave and unselfish sol
diers. "We shall not fail if everyone does
his duty, but I warn you that these
great things do not achieve them
selves. They can only be achieved
through . the combined Energy, deter
mination and spirit of the American
people. :
, "It is not enough of an answer to
the challenge thrown down to us
that we subscribe grudgingly or bare
ly $2,00ft000,000 of Liberty bonds. We
must over subscribe this loan. Our
answer to the military autocracies of
the earth must be that the American
people have billions to sacrifice in the
cause of liberty and self-government
throughout the world."
Suffered Foreign Aggression.
Mr. McAdoo said that whatever dif
ferences there mav have been about
the war before it happened, the pres
ent is no time to discuss them or to
think of them.
"Your representatives in congress,
the men you sent there to speak for
you, after having been informed by
your president of the issues involved
in this supreme contest in the world's
history," hesaid, "declared by prac
tically unanimous vote that the rights
and liberties of the American people
had been put in jeopardy bv the ae-
gressions of a foreign power.
it iiiukcs no uirrcrence ny wnat
name that foreign power may be
called. The fact that it has commit
ted repeated aggressions upon Ameri
can rights, that it has subjected this
nation to indignities and wrongs
which no self-respecting nation could
afford to endure, that war has resulted
and that we are in it, means that every
citizen, no matter what his birth or
origin, owes fealty to the flag.
Peace on Canada Border.
"I know how to sympathize with
the men of German origin in this
situation. I was born in the south in
October, 1863, in the latter part of the
civil war. My father fought on the
southern side; some of his people
fought on the northern side. I know
with what heart burnings, with what
anguish, they had to face the issue of
a divided country.
"There are limes in the history of
every nation when the hand of an un
seen power directs things, when indi
viduals axe absolutely impotent to
control the course of great events.
This is one of those supreme crises.
I believe that God has called this na
tion into this struggle Sccausc He had
a mighty purpose to serve.
"Where there is democracy and
self-government nations cannot be
hurled into war by the arbitrary will
ot any individual. 1 have lived hee
in inc unuea aiaies aiongsiue tau
ada, which is practically a great re
public because they have had self-
government for more than 100 years,
and we have never had to patrol one
foot of the 3,000 miles of border with
an armed soldier. Isn't that a striking
example of what it means to have
self-government among contiguous
peoples.'
Kaiser Endangers Civilization.
"The overshadowing danger to civ
ilization today is the German military
autocracy, lhe kaiser, with a limit
less and lustful ambition unparalleled
in history, has set out upon a scheme
of universal dominion. In order to
win he has determined that neither
the laws of humanity nor the rights
of any nation shall stand in the way.
That is'the reason he has committed
these insufferable aggressions upon
the American, nation.
"Why is it that we have not felt
sooner the extent of this menace? It
is because wc have been lulled into
a false sense of security by the 3,000
miles of water between us and Europe.
For a long time that was enough, but
modern science and invention have
narrowed the Atlantic to such an ex
tent that it is little more today, so far
as modern warware is concerned, than
a river.
"Do you know what would happen
if Germany should be victorious, as
it would be if it could bring France
and England to their knees? It would
take the entire British and French
fleets, release its own great fleet
which has been tied up in the Baltic
during the war, and combining, these
with the most destructive submarine
fleet on earth because it has it it
would come here and put the iron
heel of conqueror upon our shores.
"We should have to fall back to

Many threads, the size of web tire 'cords,' are twisted at even tension,

how long it would take to expel the
enemy, if we ever did. If we couldn't
do it promptly, do you know what
would happen to America? We should
have to make the most humiliating
terms that any great nation ever made
to get peace.
"We should have to pay an indem
nity that would represent probably
half the wealth of America, which is

taxation upon your shoulders to meet
that indemnity for a century to come.
"The first thing we must do is to
raise the money to equip our armies

tend credit to the great nations of
Europe which are co-operating with
us. We must give them credit to en

sary supplies and munitions of war
in order that they may make their
soldiers most effective for battle.
"The more effective we make them
the more quickly this war will come

Congress of Mexican
Land Owners Called
Mexico City, June 4. The problem
of Mexico's food supply has caused
the National Chamber of Commerce
toissue a call for a meeting in the
capital on July 12 of all land owners
in, Mexico. The meeting will consider
measures to ensure the planting and
harvesting of sufficient crops to pro
vide for the necessities of the people.
The chamber, acting in conjunc
tion with the department of com
merce and industry, assures agricul
turists and land owners that
steps will be taken to aid them iu
planting all available ground. Seeds
will be bought and distributed by the
chamber and money loaned according
to the need of the sections repre
sented. The department of industry has
urged the governors of various states
to report on the needs of their dis- 1
tricts and give statistics on crop
plantings and prospects. It is hoped
that the plan will put a large acre
age of previously barren land under
cultivation.

Scotch and Irish Linens which were stored there.
Linens purchased in September, 1915, at prices
