MUSTER IN CO. E OF
"LUCKYSEVENTH"
First Company of the Nebraska
National Reserve Guard
Takes Oath Given by
the State.
Ihe Omaha battalion of the
"Lucky" Seventh regiment, Nebraska
National Reserve Guard, is formally
under way.
Company E, the first of four com
panies to be recruited here, was mus
tered jnto the service last night with
seveniy-eignt men present or ac
counted for. This company having
been technically completed, the re
cruiting of Companies F, G and H
will proceed as rapidly as oossible.
Under the comman of F. W. Hig-
guisuii uie company was musisrea
into the service by Captain J. if.
Leidy of the adjutant general s c
partment.
It was a splendid body of men who
gathered at company headquarters,
1612 Farnam street, to take the oath
that made them soldiers of the state
and of the nation, pledged to answer
the call of president or governor in
the behalf of iheir country. Most of
them were young men, many whose
dependent wives or . other relatives
prevented their enlisting for inline
que; overseas service, others mere
boys hardly out of high school But
here and there was to be seen a man
well over the draft age who had en
listed in the company, eager to "do
his bit, by replacing the guardsmen
who have teen called into federal
service.
Not a man of the seventy-eight but
was anxious for the sterner service
in France not a rnan but who, had
circumstances permitted, would have
been more than willing to rWs his
life with the rata who are to see. for
eign service. -
"Maybe they will need us yet,'1, one
orivate wistfully sighed. "And if
they do," he ladded, "I guess that I
can find a way' to care for my wife
while I am gone."
And not one of the guardsmen who
heard the remark but voted art em
phatic "Aye.
Company E U already assuming
the resemblance to a real military
organization. Its quad formations
have been completed, non-commissioned
officers named and a company
quartet formed. During rest periods
last night the songs of the four joy
ous youths made the drill room ring
and set feet to moving and shoulders
to swaying.
Men of the company will meet at
headquarters at 7:30 o'clock Tues
day and Friday evenings for ninety
minutes of drill. The men in charge
are certain that it will be but a few
weeks until the "rough places" are
worn away and that an efficient and
well drilled company of men will be
ready to take the place of one of the
organizations that is to help fight the
real battles of the nation.
Portland Man Arrested
Accused of Killing Child
Clark Cochran, aged 55. arrested by
Detectives Jolly and Dolan today
for wife desertion, will undoubtedly
be tried for murder upon his return
to Portland, Ore., according to Con
stable Mark Peterspn, who has ar
rived in Omaha.
Cochran, who has been employed
as a porter in the Woodmen of the
World building, was arrested on ad
vice of Portland officers. He was in
dicted recently by a grand jury for
the murder of his infant child, which
his wife alleges he burned to death in
the kitchen stove.
According to newspaper reports
brought to Omaha by Peterson, Coch
ran has a criminal record both in
Oregon and Montana. They tell of
his mania for killing and state that
he carried a bottle of strychnine which
he spread on bread and tossed to ani
mals. His wife secured a divorce last Jan
uary and the custody of their six
-mall children in Oregon courts.

(Br AMociated Vnn.)
London, Aug. 24. What is purport
ed to be a verbatim report of the
speech of the imperial German chan
cellor, Dr. Michaelis, received by the
British admiralty per Wireless Press
and through Reuter's Hague corre
spondent, in part follows:
"As regards our enemies, their num
ber has increased since the adjourn
ment of the Reichstag by three, name
ly, Siam, Liberia and China.' These
Loumnes nave no convincing reason
for enmity against us. They acted
solely under pressure of the entente
and the United States, the latter hav
ing great influence over Liberia and
China. We have made it clear to
these countries that we shall bring
them to account for the damage done
under international law to German in
terests." After referring to the solidity of
Germany and its allies, the chancellor
rend a telegram from Field Marshal
von Hindenburg, declaring that the
military situation was more favorable
for Germany than ever. The chan
cellor added: "
Successes on Land.
"Our successes on land correspond
with our success on the sea. In the
month of July, according to the latest
reports received, Uo.UUU tons of sh d
ping were sunk. When we take into
consideration our results on the one
hand and the failure of our enemies
on the other, it appears to be incom-
prenensibie that our enemies show no
disposition to prepare the way for
consideration of terms of peace, not
to mention peace which includes re
nunciation,
i.t .Li. .. . .
i was.aoie recently to snow by in
formation regarding a Franco-Russian
secret treaty what far-reaching war
aims r ranee naa ana how f.ngland
supported French desires for German
land. Only recently a member of the
British cabinet declared that there
would be no peace until the German
armies had been thrown across the
Rhine. I now am able to show that
further arrangements were made by
the enemy regarding their war aims,
some of the details of which were al
ready made known to the committee
on an earlier occasion. I proceed in
chronological order:
Peace Demands Made.
"On September 7, 1914, the enemy
coanuon aecmea only to conclude a
joint peace. On March 4. 1915. Russia
made the following peace demands, of
wnicn tngiana approved by note on
March 12, and France by note of the
same date, namely: Russia to receive
Constantinole, with the European
shore of the straits; the southern part
of Thrace as far as the Enos-Midia
line; the islands m the Sea of Mar
mora, the islands of Imbros and Ten-
edos and on the Asia Minor side the
peninsula between the Black Sea, the
Bosphorus and the Gulf of Ismaila as
far as the River Sakarieh. in the east
This basis was laid down and the ne
gotiations continued their course in
1915-16. In the course of them Russia
obtained the promise of the Armenian
vuiayets of Trebizond and Kurdistan
and Messina and the hinterland ex
tending northward as far as Sivas and
Kharput. 4
England's Share.
"England's share was to be Meso
potamia and the rest of Turkev in
Asia was. to be divided into English
ana trencn spheres ot interest.
Palestine was to be internationalized
and the other districts inhabited by
the Turks and Arabs, including
Arabia proper and the holy places of
islam, were to be formed into a so.
f r . j . . . . ,. t- . 1
icucrauun oi siaies unuer critisn
suzerainty.
When Italy entered the war she
demanded her share of the booty.
Fresh negotiations were opened,
which in no wise pointed at renuncia
tions. I think we shall have further
details about them which will be pub
iisnea later.
With such far reachine enemv war
aims it may be jinderstood why Mr.
Balfour lately stated that he did not
consider it advisable to make a de
tailed statement on the war colic v of
the government Those are the bot
tom facts as they appear to us at the
present moment, when we envisage
the possibility of concluding peace."
Germany Makes Overtures
For Argentine Friendship
Zurich, Aug. 24. (British Admiral
ty, per Wireless Press.,) Germany
has replied to the Argentine note
which demanded compensation for the
torpedoed Argentine ship and a pledge
. i . i , , , .
irom uermany mac ii would aostain
from torpedoing Argentine vessels in
the future. It is officially announced
from Berlin that Germany has not
conceded these demands, but the pos
sibility of an amicable settlement is
not excluded.
Tribal Indians Exempt
On Same Ground as Aliens
Washington. Aug. 24. Tribal In
dians are not subject to army draft
before they are citizens and mav
claim exemption on the same ground
as aliens. Ihe War department for
mally ruled on the question today at
the request of counsel for some of
the tribesmen, nearly all Indians
maintain tribal connections, it is said,
and the number who will be exempt
under the ruling is estimated at more
than 20,000.
Reformation Jubilee.
Howclls, Neb., Aug. 24. (Special.)
