2 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1917. REICHSTAG ADOPTS PEACE RESOLUTION PRESENTED BY MAJORITY, 214 T0 116 New German Chancellor In His Address Says Germany Will Quit Fighting Soon as It Can Obtain Honor able Peace America's Intervention Not Re garded Seriously by Kaiser Fleet Controls Situation. BULLETINS. . Copenhagen, July 20. The Reichstag yesterday adopted the majority peace resolution by a vote of 214 to 116, with sev enteen not voting. Copenhagen, July 20. Chancellor Michaelis, in his ad dress before the Reichstag yesterday said Germany would not continue the war a day longer if it could obtain an honorable peace. ' America's intervention was not regarded with serious concern. The German fleet, particularly the submarines, would master the situation, he said. Copenhagen, July 19. Dr. Michaelis,? the new imperial German chancellor, in his address to the Reichstag Thurs day afternoon declared his adhesion to the German submarine campaign, asserting it to be a lawful measure, justifiably adopted and adapted for shortening the war.. Dr. Michaelis opened his Reichstag speech with a hearty tribute to Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the retiring imperial chancellor, whose work, he said, history would appreciate, War Forced on Nation. The chancellor declared that the war was forced upon unwilling Ger many by the Russian mobilization and that the submarine war was also forced upon Germany by Great Brit ain's illegal blockade starvation war. The faint hope that America at the head of the neutrals would check Great Britain's illegality was vain, Germany's final attempt to avoid the extremity by a peace offer failed and the submarine campaign was adopted, said the chancellor. The submarine, the speaker con tinued, had done all and more than had been expected, and the false prophets who had predicted the end of the war at a definite time had done a disservice to the fatherland. Extolls Hollweg. Dr. Michaelis in the course of his address said: "Bitter criticism has been directed against a highly deserving man, who occupied this post before me. This criticism has been oft - inspired by enmity and hate. I think it would have been better if enmity, and hate paused behind closed floors. When the history of this-war lies open be fore us, we shall all alike tompletely appreciate what pr. von Bethmann Hollweg's chancellorship meant for the enemy. ' . ; "Appointed chancellor by the em peror, I have the honor for the first time to communicate with your High House. A great weight has been laid on my shoulders in a most grave time. Thusting God and German might, I ventured to undertake it and shall now serve the cause to the utmost of my power. I beg from you your trusty co-operation in the spirit which has been splendidly maintained in this body during the war." , Loyal to Austria. , On the occasion of hij acceptance of the German chancellorship, says a Vienna dispatch, Dr. Michaelis sent a message to Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, declaring that he regarded it as his chief and inviolable duty to preserve the precious inheritance of the clos est and most loyal confederation. It was his firm conviction that Austria Hungary and Germany would be vic torious and that the war would se cure for the heroic peoples a happy and bright future. Connt Czernin in reply said he saw the most secure guarantee of a happy future for the people in intimate and confident co-operation with the lead ers of the German policy and firm insistence upon the well tried al liance.' How "Bill" Hayward Took His Colored Troops to Camp When New York mobilized a full division of National Guard last Mon day the departure of the Gotham con tingent Was a notable display. One of the features was the march of the Fifteenth, the colored regiment com manded by Colonel "Bill" Hayward. "The Fifteenth swung along the street, its members handling their Springfields as their ancestors did their clubs, every company full and every man singing," says the New York American, and then goes on: The dusky Flftwnth 1 tented t Camp Whitman, la Beacon, N. T., became It baa no armory. They didn't want an armory. With Colonel "Bill" Hayward ahead, they entrained at I o'clock. Nothing quit Ilka the aendoft they received haa been aeen In this city. Their band waa playing "A Hot Tlma In the Old Town Tonlnht," for what gathering of negroea would be happy with out that tune?- . Their women folka walked at their aides until they reached the trains at 12th street. They sang, they danced, they "baeted" each other regardless of fractures and disloca tions. ' They screamed their shrill battle rrles and beat upon the car side In all the wild abandon of their race. And finally they moved out, singing: "Over There."

The Russians suffered heavily, the state ment adds, and are retreating in dis order. The Germans took a few thou sand prisoners. Petrograd, July 20.

Governor Nevijle Confident the State Will Do Full Duty. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., July 20. (Special Telegram.) Governor Neville feels confident that when the draft is over that Nebraska will be found strongly in line with a ready response to the call, with little attempt to evade pa triotic duty by aid of the exemption privilege. . The governor is intensely interested in seeing his state respond nobly. De nied of the privilege of entering the service himself, because of his duty to the people of the state who elected him as their executive, the governor is doing all in his power to put Ne braska in the front rank as a patriotic state. . . Should the war continue and it seems necessary to again call upon the men of the state to respond, Gov-, ernor Neville may yet be found re sponding to the call and throwing his personal energies into the conflict. Hold Miners for Drivjng Foreigners From Flat River Flat River, Mo., July 18. The jail at Farmington is crowded to capacity with prisoners held on charges of being members of the mob which drove' hundreds of foreign-born resi dents out of the district last week. More than seventy-five men have been arrested by National Guardsmen and county officers. U. S. TROOPERS AND ffilCANSIH BATTLE Border Patrol and Outlaws Ex change Shots Near Mis sion, Tex.; No Ameri can Casualties. (Br Associated Tress.) Mission, Tex., July 19. Approxi mately 500 shots were exchanged across the Rio Grande today at Ojo De Agua, eight miles southwest of Mission, between a small American border patrol and a number of un identified Mexicans. There were no American casualties, but latest re ports here say two or three Mexicans were seen to fall during the engage ment, which started at 11 o'clock this morning and ceased at 5 o'clock, when the Mexicans withdrew from the river. Fighting started when several shots were fired at the patrol from the Mexican side. The outpost at Ojo De Agua, hearing the Americans return the shots, immediately sent reinforce ments. The fighting continued six hours. Late today Colonel B. F. De lamater, reached the scene with 100 men and a strong patrol has been thrown out along the Rio Grande, as a precaution against an attempt at border raiding. Few details of the engagement reached here tonight. From the best information there were about 100 Mexicans in the fight and 'one re port says three distinct bugle calls were heard. This leads to the belief that the Americans were attacked by an organized force. . The attackers withdrew before Colonel Delamatcr reached Ojo Dc Agua. Deaf and Dumb, Has Two Wives and Wants Another "A man doesn't have to be able to speak and hear in order to 'throw the bull." This maxim fell from the lips of United States Marshal Flynn. And to prove it he told of a letter writ ten by E. J. Sullivan, whose present address is the county jail. Sullivan was arrested by the federal authori ties a few days ago as a "slacker." While he was in custody it was learned that he has one wife in New Orleans and had married another in Omaha just a few days before. Sullivan from his boudoir in the county bastile wrote to a girl in Cin cinnati, stating that his plans to marry her were going forward nicely. He told her he was in jail, but from a sense of delicacy he omitted to state that he is charged with bigamy and told her instead that he was in jail because he was in a prize fight "in which I knocked out the other fellow in the eighth round." He also stated that his father is enroute to Omaha to get him out of jail and would give him enough money so that he could come to Cincinnati and get married. Sullivan,' as a prizefighter, would be in the sub-paperweight class. He is a tiny fellow.
