Peter Blnkley Is at present the only male nurse at the west ihospital during the day time, and speaks as though the work was a little heavy for one man. Commander Walsh is at present away on business, but It is expecteil that this difficulty will be diusted upon hi return. less militarism is to be the lot of all the world when, as one of her promi nent philosophers says, 'The Germans have fulfilled their mission and brought their kultur to all the deca dent and untaught population of the earth.' Peril Either Way. "If Germany wins, we are the next to feel the might of her arms. If Germany is defeated, our peril is even more immediate for if it wins it will be able to impose some kind of in demnities upon its vanquished toes out of which its huge war debts may be lightened. If it is defeated, its navy and its immense veteran army will both be released, and they will immediately seek in the two Americas the conquests and indemnities needed to fill the yawning chasm ot debt which is daily being deepened by their war expenditures. In 1866 Bismarck, the man ot blood and iron, called a select num ber of leading Germans to a meeting in Berlin. He outlmd the plans to perfect the organization of Germany into a military state rather than a nation of traders and manufacturers. He pointed out the need of bringing Austria into the German nation and announced that the army would be at once out uoon the basrs necessary for subjugating the surrounding states as rapidly as they could be absorbed. Austria Subjugated. Within a year a prtext was found for attacking Austria and it was swittlv and completely reduced to obedience and became a part of the German empire. "By 1869 Von Moltke had so en larged and drilled the military arm that Germany was ready to strike France. No good pretext could be found but Germany .needed money and needed the vast deposits of he matite (iron ore) in the French prov inces of Alsace-Lorraine. VonMoltke s forces swept into Paris in the sudden and startling campaign known as the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, humili ated the French, robbed Paris of some of its fiinest treasures of art and it exacted indemnity so huge that the World stood aghast at German au dacity. tor world Domination. "In 1892 the present emperor called another erouo of influential Germans to meet him in Berlin and laid be fore them a perfectly staggering pro gram of world domination. This pro gram was accompanied with maps, and dates were fixed according to which the different stages of his ruth less conquest of unwilling nations was to be accomplished. The first part of the program involved the re duction of England, France, Turkeyt and nearly all the Balkan states to subjection and this was to be ac- omblished bv the end of 1SH5, within twenty-three ye.irs from the date of this-historic meeting. This plan was accompanied with maps, each show ing these countries dependent states controlled from Berlin with London, Paris and Constantinople little more than county seats. "But his plan took a wider sweep. It involved the reduction of the re publics of the American hemisphere and this was to be an accomplished fact by the end of 1932 forty years after the council at which the plan was .broached. This was also accom panied by a map showing Argen tina, Brazil, and the United States of America and Canada as so many outlying portions of the German em pire. ' . America tin or uermany. For' instance, the United States had the word "Germania printed entirely across it with the letter G" on Washington and the letter "N" on Omaha. As a part Of this plan it was proposed to then enter upon a military program with such energy that all the resources of the nation would be focused at that point. Military officials were to be taught to look feward to the moment when the first stage of this program was to be carried into execution as The Day (DerTag)l , . . "Proof that the above is not merely the imaginations of a few distorted minds can be found in two outstand ing facts: First, that for nearly thirtv vears every energy of the Ger man nation has been poured upon th'e I creation ot the most emcieni military machine the world has ever seen. Un thinkably vast preparations were made, all male citizens broken to the art of war and then they went back into civil life at the call of the nation, when The Day should come. Muni tions of every description, manufac tured and stored with scientific ac curacy, uniforms, shoe laces, military transportation of every kind these and other preparations well known to a world, which now understands why they were made, have gone for ward tor nearly a generation, by night and by day, in Germany and here is the proof, and the incontestable proof, that a program for world mas tery had been fixed upon, and was in process of being realized. "During all this time and with in creasing boldness as the year 1915 an proached, the custom spread from army barracks and the officers' mess at military posts for Germans, when they met together, to drink to 'The Day.' What day? Let the behavior of the German admiral in Manila Bay make answer in that fateful first week of May, 1898, after Admiral Dewey had sunk the Spanish fleet, Admiral von Dederich with a fleet of German war vessels steamed from somewhere acting under Orders which we can only imagine, to the same bay. Why did he come? Who sent him? Why did he refuse to obey the request or Admiral Dewey regarding the anchorage ot his ships? "The British admiral yell under stood, for when Admiral von Ded' erch began manuevering for : post of advantage, the British admiral, who had. slipped into the harbor with a few ships, directed his war vessels into line between the German admiral and the American fleet, as much as to sav. Vv e know vou mean mischief. cut if you fire upon' tHe Americans, your broadside will strike us first. Why did the same kind of thing transpire in the Samoa islands on au other occasion? Why, is it that Ger many has colonized three or four hun dred thousand of v her citizens in southern Brazil duriag the last thirty years, the majority of the men being German reservists? "Why was it that Emperor William sent the telegram of sympathy to Oom Paul Kruger at the beginning of the Boer war? Why was it that Em peror William seized upon the murder the Boer war? Whv was it that Em peror William seized upoh the murder of a missionary of whose very exist ence he never knew, as a pretext for taking possession of the bay and city of Kaio Chao, China, and of the hin terland, where lay the richest deposits of coal, which have yet been located near the coast at any point on the con tinent of Asia? If this program was not adopted by the emperor and the military clique of Prussia, why has he honeycombed the world with a spy system?" Lincoln Man is Making Gasoline from Kerosene Walter Johnson of Lincoln is in Omaha manufacturing a machine which he claims will make a practi cal substitute for gasoline. The new liquid will be called electroline by the manufacturers. Two small experimental machines now in operation have made' a suffi cient quantity to be used in automo biles. They say that at least one third more mileage can be secured from a gallon than gasoline. More power can be secured with the new fluid. A machine is now under construc tion which' the inventor asserts will turn out 60,000 gallons per day at a cost of not to exceed one-half cent per gallon. It is planned to have this machine in operatiotl'in three months, when electroline will be placed on the market. Electroline is manufactured electri cally from low-grade kerosene. Oxy gen is mixed with the low-grade oil at a high temperature. The new mix ture is similar to a combination of gasoline and wood alcohol and avoids many of the dangers of explosion found in gasoline. A corporation known as the Elec troline company has been organized and will place the new liquid on the market. TJbe company is undecided as to tie location ot their iactory, but expectno locate in Omaha. Mr. John son, the inventor of the process, is one of the largest stockholders in the company. Central Chemical Co. Moves to New Location The Central Chemical company, which for several years has been lo cated at 1213 South Twentieth street, has purchased the ground and factory building owned by the Omaha Brush company at Forty-fourth and Izard streets on the Belt Line, and the ma chinery of the Central Chemical com pany will be moved to the new loca tion within a week. " The Omaha Brush company has been reorganized under the name of the Wiens-Omaha Brush company. The building and ground formerly owned by the Omaha Brush company has been sold to the Central Chemical company andfhe Wiens-Omaha Brush company will either buy a building or erect one better suited to their pur pose, at some convenient point on the Belt Line, just as soon as possible, of the Strahle Electric Starter for Arthur L. Strahle has sold his in terest in the Strahle & Anderson company and will devote his entire time and energy to the manufacture of the Strahle Electirce Starter for Ford cars. .He has associated with him two or three men of ample capital and they expect to push the manufac ture of this starter vigorously in the near future.

With the re turn here today of Dr. Alfred Cat- uregli, financial agent for the Mexic.n government in the LJnited States, and T. W. Osterheld, representing Iselin & Co., bankers for the Mexican gov ernment, from Mexico City, it was learned that preliminary negotiations looking to a loan of 300,000.000 pesos, or approximately 515U.000.U00. bv New York bankers, are nearing consumma tion. Dr. Caturegli said that he was no' authorized to discuss the matter at this time other than to say that pros pects for the loan looked favorable. Mr. Osterheld, who went to Mexico as an adviser to that government in regard to its finances, also declined to make any statement. To Rehabilitate Finances. It is understood, however, that the plans whereby the loan may be se cured and the money so placed that the financial system of Mexico can be rapidly rehabilitated, have been worked out and have received tenta tive approval of the Mexican authori ties and are now before the bankers. These details are said to provide ample security for the loan and are understand to include a refunding of the national debt, a reduction of the capital of the Mexican National rail ways and a mobilization of the oil industry. It is also planned, it is said, to place m the hands pf Mexican banks sufficient sums to enable them to care for the floating currency of the country and to establish firm ex change relations with foreign banks. Mexico is now coining 20,000,000 pesos in gold, part of which is a new com termed Astecs. They have values of 10 and 20 pesos and their coinage makes thm equivalent to the $5 and $10 American gold coins. Buck Privates Study French at University As a result of an article in The Omaha Bee, Miss' Selma Anderson, registrar at the University of Omaha, is receiving many calls from the boys in khaki, it was announced that a course , in conversational trench would be given to the soldiers expect ing to go to trance as a patriotic ef fort on the part of the university. Over a score of Uncle Sam's prepar ing men have made arrangements to take the course.

Probably several classes will have to be fprmed because of the many men who will be on hand. Chinese Advise Joining Entente in Non-Peace Pact Peking, Sept. 9.

"DANDY SIXTH" - WAITS ORDERS TO MOVE TODAY (Continued from Page One.) adjourned with the gratifying knowl edge that all of their men except those out of town were under the Audito rium and Washington hall roofs, and that the others were on the way as fast as trains could bring them. When questioned, Major Harries admitted that he had snatched one half hour of steep. A few others were an hour to the good, but prob ably not an eye closed in the building until 5 a. in. Called From Marriage Altar. Sergeant Reed of Company A was peacefully getting married when found by the hurrying scout sent for linn. He remained long enough to get the knot tied good and tight, then kissed his bride farewell and dashed off to the Auditorium. Sergeant Martin A. Brown of Com pany A and Sergeant J, Clair of Com pany D arc worrying a lot because they haven't any sweethearts to kiss them goodbye at the train. They are "old bachelors," they say, and some how haven't had time to cultivate the acquaintance of girls lately. They hope the patriotic girls of Omaha aren't going to let thcni go off un kissed to Deming. Sergeants Brown and Clair have also sent in a call for some nice girls to write to them at Deming. "We don't mean mushy let ters. But if some nice girls would write pleasant letters it would keep us from getting lonesome." Cheer for Phone Girl. When the boys of the Sixth got through calling in men to the Auditorium-early Sunday morning, they gave one cheer for "Operator 73" of the Douglas exchange, before they sought their cots. This young lady, who wouldn't give her name to the soldiers, but whom The Bee discovered to be Miss M. Bracken, stayed on the board and helped the men at the Auditorium for hours Saturday night in their work ot sending local and long distance calls far and wide. It is supposed all companies of the Sixth will move to Deming at the same time. The Omaha battalion will go direct from Omaha and the others will go from their own mobili zation stations. They will not meet until they reach Deming. The machine gun company, as far as is known now, will not be detached from the regiment, but will stay with the other companies at Deming.
