LUTHERANS ARE
LOYAMSSERTS
LUTHER KUHNS
Editor , of Luther League Re
view, in Signed Article, Says
Members of Church Will
Fight Against Germany.
By LUTHER M. KUHNS.
Editor I.ulhrr Xrague Review
The Lutheran church 15 loyally pa
triotic. Whatever may have been the
individual opinions, prior to the act of
congress declaring that a state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany, there now can be but one
opinion and one sentiment.
Men and women of the" Lutheran
faith have loyally borne their share
of burden and sacrifice in all the wars
of this -country. Now that the country
calls its citizens to rally around the
flag, the illustrious example of Gen
eral Peter Muehlenberg at Wood
stock, Va., who laid aside his robe as
a Lutheran pastor and displayed the
uniform of an officer in the continen
tal army and enlisted his own parish
ioners, is a reminder and inspiration
to the men and women of the great
Lutheran -church of their duty as pa
triots. -Thousands of Lutherans are already
enlistednder the flag, either in the
army or navy of the United States.
From colonial times until the present
Lutheran men and women have borne
their full share of service for the
flag. In this national crisis Lutherans
will loyally do and die for their coun
try. The history of the past will be
proved by the deeds o the present.
Separation of Church and State.
, While the Lutheran church believes
in the separation of church and state,
the doctrinal position of the church
presented at Augsburg in 1S30 is plain
and explicit and leaves no doubt as
to its attitude of loyalty to the gov
ernment as an ecclesiastical body,, j
The sixteenth article of the Augsburg
confession explicitly says:
'Of civil affairs, they teach;- that lawTnt '
Hivtl ordinances n good -works at- fionVi
and that It la right .for Christiana to bear
civil office, to alt aa judges, to determine
mattei by the imperial and other existing
laws, to award just-punishments, to engage
in just wars, to serve as soldiers, to maka
legal cob tracts, to hold property, to' take
oatH when required by the magistrates, to
marry, to be given In marriage. ,
This is Jhe recognized doctrinal po
sition of- the Lutheran church on
which the entire-body of Lutheran
utand and is a test of Lutheranisra.
Nothing in this article can be con
strued as treasonable to the govern
mentit is strictly loyal.
This statement is of binding force
today and no single man or pastor or
institution can alter or amend this
position of the Lutheran church as a
whole and claim any authority for so
doing; and to this confession today
every Lutheran minister at his ordi
nation is obligated. .
Reaffirmed at Chicago.
In fact,-the binding force of this
confession was reaffirmed by the gen
eral synod of the Evangelical Luth
eran church at its recent session con
vened in Chicago, July 20, when it
unanimously adopted subscription to
this confession as a part of the doc
trinal basis for the union of the three
great English bodies in America,
namely, the General Synod, the Gen
eral Council and the United Synod
in the South. The General Synod in
cludes the Nebraska (English) Synod
and the German Nebraska Synod. On
July 5 at Atlantic City, N. J., ''The
Committee on Constitutional Revision
of the General. Councit of the Luth
eran Church . in America" recom
mended the adoption of this same
basis for the amalgamation of these
bodies and the General Council em
braces the Augustana Synod which is

RUMOR HOLLWEG
MAY REMAIN AT
HEAD OF CABINET
Another Report by Way of Am
sterdam Says Entire Min
istry May Folow Him
Into Retirement.
BULLETIN.
Amsterdam, July 13. According
to a semi-official dispatch received
here from Berlin today, the report
of the resignation of Dr. von Beth
mann Hollweg, the imperial chan
cellor, is untrue.
(By Associated Tress.)
Copenhagen, July 13. The Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger says a communica
tion from the Austro-IIungarian gov
ernment has been received in Berlin
declaring that Dr. Von Bcthmann
Hollweg's continuance in office as
chancellor is of importance and, his
retirement possibly a fatal mistake.
The telegram was obviously dis
patched, before the decision 011 the
Prussian franchise was taken, which
is generally interpreted in Berlin as
a- sign that Dr. Von Bethmann-Holl-
weg would remain.
The executive committee of the
Catholic center of the Reichstag, on
the other hand, believes Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg unsuited to con
duct peace negotiations, and says he
should be replaced before an ultimate-)
peace conference, considering the fact
that the declaration of war occurred
under his administration.
Plan of Peace Resolution.
The party organ, Germania, asserts
that Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg
will accept a resolution on war
aims of the majority parties in the
Reichstag tomorrow. This resolution
will restate the chancellor's an
nouncement at the outbreak of the
war that Germany was undertaking
a cetensive war ana declare tnat tne
majority of the Reichstag now favors
peace based on a muture understand
ing and last reconciliation of nations.
As long as the enemy govern
ments refuse thR. the, German, fceo,
pie and Reichstag " the rcsofufion wilf
say, "are united in a determination to
fight on until the rights of Germany
and it allies are assurre.d." , . v
I. W. W. Members Attempt
To Burn Freight Train
Sioux Falls, S. D., July 13. Activi
ties of alleged Industrial Workers of
the World spread to South Dakota
today when an attempt was made to
burn a Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
freight train early this morning near
Murdo, S. D., according to reports
here.
Several members of the Industrial
Workers of the World are alleged to
have set fire to an empty car in which
they traveled from Rapid City to
Murdo when they left the train as it
approached Murdo. The; fire was ex
tinguished after the car had been de
stroyed. Tho members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World party
were arrested and placed in jail.
Earlier this week the oil house of
the Milwaukee road at Scotland func
tion, S. D., was burned. Officials be
lieve the fire to have been the work
of the . Industrial Workers - of the
World.
Government officials are investigat
ing charges made by army officers thaj
the Industrial Workers of the World
has plotted to destroy the crops of
the state.
Another Appeal Made

Washington, July 13. Another ap
peal for young men of high quality for
the second series of officers training

Company K's American Eagle at
Fort Crook May Scream in France
Parade Ground at Reservation
Eesounds With Military Ac
tivity; "Fighting Fourth"
and Machine Gun Boys.
Soldiers now in"Vendezvous at Fort
Crook go through their drills literally '
under an "eagle eye." A large black
American eagle sits all day in the cen
ter of the parade ground watching the
maneuvers solemnly and inscrutably.
The bird is the property of Lieu
tenant Guy . Greene of Company K,
Fourth Nebraska. It was captured
near Bloomington, on the Republican
river, last April and at once became
Company K's mascot Its wing was
injured in the capture, but is fast heat
ing and will be able to carry the
"eagle's scream" to France with the
boys, they think.
The parade ground at" Fort Crook
resounds all days to the calls of the
officers and the tramp of drilling sol
diers. No new maneuvers are being
incorporated in the drills. These will
be given in France behind the big
guns. The training now is mainlj

EXPLOSIONS SINKS
BRITISH CRUISER;
782 SAILORS DIE
Only Three Men Aboard Ship
Escape Death When Big Bat
tleship Is Blown Up in
Harbor.
London, July 13. The British bat
tleship Vanguacd blew up and sank
on July, says an official statement
issued tonight by the British ad
miralty. An internal , explosion while the
ship was at anchor caused the dis
aster, to the Vanguard. Only three
men of those on board survived and
one of them ffas since died. Twenty
four officers and 'seventy-one men,
however, were not on board at the
time of the explosion.
The official statement reads:
"H. M. S. Vanguard, Captain James
D.J Dick, blew up while at anchor on
the night of July 9 as the result of an
internal explosion.
"The ship sank immediately and
there were only three survivors among
those-aboard ship at the time of the
disaster-one officer and two men.
The officer has since died. There
were, however, twenty-four officers
and seventy-one men not on board at
the time, thus bringing the total num
ber of survivors to ninety-seven.
. "A full inquiry has been ordered."
The British battleship Vanguard dis
placed 19,250 tons and its complement
before the war was 870 men. The
Vanguard belonged to the St. Vincent
class or dreadnoughts and was
launched in March, 1909. The Van
Ktiard was 536 feet long with a beam
of eighty-four feet and a draft of
twenty-seven feet. Its armament con
sisted ot ten twelve-inch guns, eight
een four-inch and four three pounders

Washington, July 13. Formal an

department today that 687,000 men
will be selected from those registered
on June 5 for the first national war
army and to fill up vacancies in the

All Enlistments Credited.
The table from which the net
quotas were compiled shows that all
enlistments 'in the National Guard
and the regular army up to June 30
have been allowed as credits. The
instructions to governors from the
secretary of war accompanying the
table directs governors of the various
states to allot the state quota as given
among the exemption boards dis
tricts, so that each board in each dis
trict will know exactly the number
of men to be furnished by the district
in filling the state quota.
Contrary to expectation, the gov
ernment has allowed credit for the
total strength of the National Guard,
including all those men who were in
the service prior to April 1 and who
have been retained. The figures are
given as follows:
Total strength of the . National
Guard on April 1, 1917, 164,292. En

- This means' that according , to the
estimates of the government, the
United States now has enrolled or
under arms , approximately . 467,000
men classed as war volunteers and
therefore constitute credits to be al
lowed to the states from which' they
enlisted. ', '
Will Draw All Numbers.
Drawing of lots for the selective
draft not only will determine what
men are to be called to the colors in
the first war army, but will show in
what order the others registered will
be liable for service when later armies
are organized. t
A plan will be followed under
which a definite place in the waiting
lists will be given every one of the
millions who registered. Those stand
ing at the head of the list in each
country or city district will be called
first before the examination boards
and tffPn the obligation will pass on
down the line as long as men are
needed.
, This does not mean that a separate
name or number will be drawn for
every one of the country's 9,800iX)0
registrants. In fact, every number
drawn under the theory of the plan
will represent more than 4,000 men,
one for each of the registration dis
tricts. Details of the system have
not been made public, but an outline
of its principal features follows:

Every registration board has num

United States government has decided
to take out of the Industrial Workers
of the World organization that part
of it whiih is German or dominated
by Germanic influence according to
announcement today by United
States District Attorney Clay Allen.
The men will be interned, Mr. Allen
said.
Investigation by government agents
said the district attorney showed a
large percentage of the Industrial
Workers of the World to be alien
Germans. Mr. Allen continued:
"Attorney General Gregory, at my
request, authorized the internment of
all German enemies who are affiliated
with or have taken part in any move
ment at present seeking to bring
about industrial or agricultural disor
ganization. "My conception of the rule is that
this will apply and reach any alien
enemy who establishes a record of un
reliability -either in residence or em
ployment. It is apparent that this is
not the time for Industrials Workers
of the World and their kind to be
shifting around from place to place.

There will be five doctors with the

V CALL FOR TELEGRAM.
During the afternoon J. B. Pember-
ton, assistant manager of the Western
Union Telegraph company, appeared
in response to a summons to present
as evidence certain telegrams said to
have been exchanged between Sutton,
and Johnny Lynch, when the former
was in Chadron. Mr. Pemberton de

pany acted as a confidential agent for
the public, but Attorney Thomas, for
Sutton, consented to the use of the
telegrams.
Messages in Evidence.
Mr. Pemberton, accompanied by
Sutton and Deputy City Clerk ,
Primeau, went to the telegraph com
panys'f office and returned with the .
following telegrams, which were read
to the city commissioners by the
prosecution to establish an entente
cordiale between Sutton and Lynch:

Tells of Sutton's Work.
During the afternoon session, L. J.
Pipkin, brother of Charles W. Pip
kin of the Omaha Detective associa
tion, testified that a year ago, when
he was special agent for the Union
Pacific, Sutton was derelict in prose
cution of a man turned over to him

money.
"He was the best partner I ever
had," was the recommendation given.

present mate on the morals squad.
Detective Frank Murphy testified
that Sutton had comitted no breach
of conduct insofar as he had any
knowledge.
Lynch Hears From Front.
In his testimony, Mr. Rosewater
related conversations with Johnny
Lynch before and during the Chadron
affair, tending to show that Lynch
was being advised by Sutton and
Kugel of events in the Dawes county
seat and that Lynch even knew 6ome
advance information from the "west
ern front," in the sandhills.
Attorney Ben S. Baker charged
that Sutton, Lynch and Kugel were
involved in the concoction of the
Chadron affair and added that he can
prove his words.
Pollock Provides Laughs.
Henrv Pollock furnished a bit of
levity during his encounter with At
torney Elmer Thomas. Pollock in- v
sisted that when he obtained 300 regis
trations of Hungarians last fall Sut
ton became angry because he (Pol
lock) would not "deliver" these men

that "Irish" was a habitue of the
Little Hungary cafe and worked as a
spy for Sutton. He further charged
that when Sutton was doorkeeper at
the Owl club he ate many, plates of ,
goulash at the Pollock caravansary.

Pollock charged that he and friends
were persecuted by Sutton.
