BERLIN MAYOR SAYS
SITUATION IS BAD
Declares Teutons Have Be
come Nation of Profiteering
Hucksters; People Not
Really Free.
(Bj Associated Press.)
Amsterdam, Aug. 3. Burgomaster
Reicke of Berlin hits out with re
markable bluntness in passii.g judg
ment on the internal situation of Ger
many in an article in Monday's Ber
liner Zeitung Am Wittag, which has
just reached here.
Replyinr to a question as to wheth
er Germany after three years of war
was able to register gains internally
as well as externally, Berlin's chief,
magistrate said:
"The answer is but a hesitating
affirmative. We seem to have become
a nation o" profiteering hucksters.
"Those who are not corrupted by
the mammon chase are haunted with
a fear lest, after all, the country is
slipping back into the rut of official
ism. Wt still are kept in leading
strings; we are not really a free peo
ple. "We call for the benefit of the coun
cils of ;. dozen working men, but the
word is quietly passed from the gov
ernment table 'these fellows cannot
be told all. Just treat them like chil
dren.' "What is wanted is a parliament
that has power, not a mere legisla
tive machine and a government of
men who r.re not educated to believe
that a bureaucrat necessarily knows
better than an ordinary mortal. Let
us be a free people, but not merely
free on paper."
Dry Amendment Loaded
by Liquor Men, Says Randall
Washington, Aug. 3. Representa
tive Randall, of California, the only
prohibition member of congress, is
sued a statement today declaring that
"the friends of national prohibition
have been flimflammed by the liquor
lobby in the constitutional amend
ment adopted in the senate yesterday.
He added that " a great jollifica
tion" was held by liquor representa
tives in a Washington hotel last night
and that a well defined rumor had
sprung up that the six year clause
added on Senator Harding's motion
was reallywritven by the brewers' at
torneys. "The joker is not in the six-year
handicap itself." said Mr. Randall,
"though that is without a single
precedent in history. The Harding
clause provides that 'this article shall
be inoperative unless ratified within
six years.' The impression is that the
prohibition amendment would not be
come a part of the constiution unless
so ratified.
"The fact is it will become a part
of the constitution if ratified after the
time limit, but will be inoperative.
This promises long years of litigation.
The whole campaign to secure rati
fication by the states will be clouded
by this uncertain language."
"The duty of the house of repre
sentatives is clear. Throw out the
Harding clause entirely."
Woman Who Posed as
Man for Years Kills Self
Toledo, 0 Aug. 3. The dual per
sonality of a woman, who for the last
three years had posed as a man while
engaged in the profession of an op
tician with a lucrative business, was
disclosed today in the finding of a
body dressed in men's clothes floating
in the Maumee river here.
The body was identified as that of
the man known as Dr. Samuel Acker
man. The discovery that "Dr. Acker
man" was a woman was made at a
morgue. Nothing is known here of
her real name , nor from where she
imt.
Attached to the body was a heavy
iron weight. Police are working on
the theory of suicide. .
Cipriano Castro Is Not
Permitted to Land in Cuba
Havana, Aug. 3. General Cipriano
Castro, former president of Vene
zuela, accompanied by Colonel Mal
donado, arrived here today on board
a Spanish steamer. Secret, service
men met the steamer and informed
General Castro that ne would not be
permitted to land. When asked by
reporters if rumors to the effect that
he was planning a new revolution in
Venezuela were true, General Castro
answered in the negative.
War Relief Socfetv Now
Affiliated With Red Cross
The War Relief society is now af
filiated with the Red Cross. Accord
ing to a telegram received late Thurs
day afternoon by Mrs. O. C. Redick,
prominent in war relief work in
Omaha, the national surgical dress
ings committee, of which the local
War Relief society is a branch, has
been accepted and established as a
national "auxiliary of Red Cross.
Mrs. Gertrude Austin, vice chair
man of the national surgical dress
ings committee, has been given the
important post of general supervisor
of the Red Cross in France. This is
a great tribute to the ability of the
American woman.
There is to be no change in the
work or organization of Red Cross
because of this union. American hos
pitals and foreign hospitals will each
carry on their work in their own dis
tinctive way as formerly.
Omaha Boy Loses Leg
While Fightinq in France
George J. Thompson, son of C. X
Thompson, manager of the Oman

NEBRASKA'S QUOTA
SHOWNBYCOUNTIES
Table Sent Out by Governor's
Office Shows Number of Men
From Each County to Be
Called on Draft.
Figures on Nebraska's draft quota
are contained in a table sent out from
the office of Governor Neville. All
figures used in the compilation were
forwarded to Lincoln from Washing
ton. Nebraska's population, as given by
the census bureau, is 1,270,301. The
gross draft quota which Washington
has assigned to Nebraska, is 13,876.
From this gross quota there was
subtracted each county's credits, con
sisting of enlistments up to and in
cluding June 30 in the National
Guard and enlistments in 'the regular
army.
No credit was allowed for enlist
ments in the navy er marine corps or
men in the officers' training camps.
Credits Are Greater.
When the differences had been com
piled, it was found that Hamilton
county, having a gross quota of 145.46,
had an enlistment credit of 151, thus
giving this county an excess credit of
5.54.
In order to insure absolute fairness
to all counties, this excess had to be
proportioned to each county. This
was accomplished by subtracting
Hamilton county's population from
the total population of the state and
then determining the proportion
which each county bore" to the resul
tant total population.
The credits for National Guard and
regular army enlistments closed June
30. All enlistments after that date will
be credited on the next draft.

fell in shallow water and is supposed
to have died from shock.
Witz, who was strapped to his seat,

An Antidote for
Uric Acid Poison
(By Dr. L. C. BABCOCK.)
There is a process going on within
the body which often poisons us. It
is something like the story of the
snake being able to kill itself with
its own poisons. This isthe forma
tion of uric acid in excess within the
body. It is a waste product which
takes place in the liver. This poison
ous uric acid is then passed on to
the kidneys, which act as a filter to
pass off and excrete this poison. It
the kidneys are clogged up, inactive,
the poison degenerates these organs
and causes kidney disease. If it is
deposited in the tissues, around the
joints of the body, it causes rheu
matism or gout.
Consequently we must do every
thing to throw off this uric acid
poison, and simple methods are best.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of water between meals; a pint of
hot water, morning and night is
splendid. Take Anuric (double
strength) three times a day for
awhile, and get the kidneys to work
ing by flushing out this poison. That
painful affliction, known as gout,
as well as muscular rheumatism, is
caused by the uric acid crystals be
ing deposited in the big toes or tis
sues. The man who uses his brain,
perhaps over-taxing his nervous en
ergy will suffer fits of "blues," de-
isvpression, headache, sleeplessness,
loss of memory, all due to the poison
of uric acid. The man who does
physical work, using his muscles, oc
casionally complains of sluggishness,
muscular tired feeling, muscular
stiffness or aches, neuraligic twinges
symptoms all due to this uric acid
accumulation. In every case I advise
hot water, and Anuric taken three
times daily a simple, safe remedy,
which is to be had at almost every
.Rush at Murdock was blown down
and a motor car and corn shelter
wrecked. Silos on the farms of Fred
Stock and John J. Gustin, just out
side of Murdock, were destroyed by
the wind, as was a barn that was
being constructed on the Gustin
farm.
James Hessenflow, a rural mail car
rier out of Cedar Creek, narrowly
escaped death when one of the horses
he was driving walked into a heavily
charged light wire that had been
torn down by a limb blown from a
tree. The horse was killed and Hes
senflow severely shocked by the
heavy voltage.
Miss Rankin Will
Ask Federal Probe
Of Little Murder
Butte, Mont., Aug. 3. Announce
ment was made last night by members
of 'the Industrial Workers of the
World that they had received a tele
gram from Congressman Jeanette
Rankin, saying that she was endeav
oring to obtain a federal investiga
tion of the lynching here yesterday
of the Industrial Workers of the
World Leader Frank Little.
Attorney General Ford, who came
from Helena today to help prosecute
the search for the lynchers, said to
night that the state would offer a
large reward for their apprehension.
W. G. Sullivan, attorney for the
Metal Mine Workers' union, with
which Little was affiliated, and who
had declared that five of the lynch
ing party were known to him- confer
red today with officials. He gave
them the names of several men that
he said were active as "company gun
men." The authorities announced tonight
that they still were without a clue as
to the identity of the lynchers.
Two Slackers Are Held at
Grand Island for Courts
Grand Island, Neb., Aug. 3. (Spe
cial Telegram.) John McCarthy, a
young man who recently arrived in
this state from Massachusetts, is be
ing held here by the federal authori
ties on the charge of being a slacker.
He declares he is only 19 years of
'age. A telegram of inquiry has been
sent to Massachusetts.
In the case of Nick Divjak, the
Kearney man arrested here on the
same charge, the suspect is being held
for trial. There is evidence that when
he recently worked for Mr. Pfaffen
burg of Kearney he gave his age as
26. He now claims to be 36.

NORMS FIGHTS FOR

Omaha Suffragist Tells of Ne

Effort to Remove Admin

By DORIS STEVENS.
(Omnhu Miniber Kxeoiitlve CnmmlUrc
.Nntlnnnl Woniiui'n 1'itrty.)
Washington, Aug. 3. (Special Tel
egram.) I was present in the senate
gallery yesterday, when Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska very gallantly and
enthusiastically fought against the
administration blockade of the federal
suffrage amendment.
Senator Norris aided Senator Cum
mins of Iowa in an effort to discharge
the woman suffrage committee of the
senate, because of its failure to report
the measure to the senate.
Democratic Chairman Jones of New
Mexico, is holding up the report
unanimously desired by members of
the committee. Senator Norris ex
posed the adminstration's desire to
kill debate in the senate on the meas
ure. Senator Hitchcock upheld the
blockade.
The suffragists are grateful for Sen
ator Norris' magnificent stand. Other
republicans demanding action were:
Johnson of California, Jones of Wash
ington, Gronna of North Dakota,
lkandegc of Connecticut, Curtis of
Kansas and Snioot of Utah.
The passage of the amendent is b
ing urged as a war measure.
