THIS BKfi: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1917. GERMANS EARN ODIOUS NAME OF 'IIUNSSAYSLR. Barbarous Actions in Belgium and Northern France Merit It; Model for Turks' Brutal T&ctiss, ' (By Aaeeateted fn) Jtacine, Wis., Sept 27. (Special.) "-Colonel , Theodore Roosevelt to night attacked German militarism in characteristic ; fBtteh Kefor in im mense audience at $h Auditorium. He spoke under the auspices of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities. He said In part; "W m now at war with a great military despotism. We absolutely failed to prepare for this war, al though it seems inconceivable that any man could have been" to foolish and so blind aa not to perceive its likelihood, at any rate, after February, 1915. when Germany began her sub marine: war of wholesale murder against eioncombltents, including the innocent women and children of our own people. From that time any American who directly or indirectly upheld Germany was a trcacheroua enemy to this republic, or else the. dupe of some treacherous enemy. - "It is these treacherous enemies of our own household who are .respon sible for the fact that we are now in danger from to foretgn foe, It is the Hun within our, own gates from whom wt have tne most to fear, for he is the tool and ally of the Hun without. , , . ' All Aid the Enemy. - "It matter not whether he is a wealthy man who organizes peace so cieties or fits out peace' ships in order to bring; about t peace that would be in the interest of thj brutal aggres sor and would inflict lasting shame and wrong upon ua and upon all civ ilized mankind; or whether he is a foolish pacifist agitator,! whose activ ities are increased and rendered more noxious by the patronage of such a wealthy man; or whether he ia an In dustrial Worker of the World leader, who is against all government and all civilisation and. alt orderly liberty and gleefully does the work of Ger many aralnit ua evartlv at K wnntft do the work of the worsf'ribe of barbarians against us if he got the chance, or whether he it German socialisLwho in this country has help- , ed turn the socialist party machine tni to a tool of the German autocracy and the enemy not only of American lib erty and democracy, but of liberty and democracy throughout the world; or whether he appears at the head of some German-American 'alliance or similar organization which openly be fore the war and now more covertly but no less dangerously, works for Germany against America. Hons Within Our Gates, "All these men are the foea of our own household. ' They are the Huns within our gates. Task you to remember that when . we use the word Hun to describe the German of the present day who does the bidding of the Hohenzollerns, we art using the term not as one of abuse applied by an enemy, but as a properly descriptive term, quoted from the kaiser himself. When' the German troops went to China, the kaiser ad dressed them as follows; 'When yon meet the foe ypu will defeat him. io quarter will be given no prisoners will be taken. Just ss the Huns a thousand years ago under Attila gained a reputation in virtue of which they still live in historical tradition, sq may the name of Germany become known in such manner in China, that no Chinaman will ever again dare to look askance at a German.' "This was an official order from tht highest German authority that the German soldiers should behave like Hunt. They did so behave. They then earned the name of Huns. They have thrice over earned the right to be called Huns 'by the way they have since behaved in Belgium and north ern France; in the murderous air raids on England, with their deliberately planned butcheries of women, chil dren and noncombatant men; in the murderous slave rsids in Belgium, Po land and Serbia, v Model for Turks. "It furnished the model which the Turk has followed, with the assent and connivanca of his German over lord, toward the Armenian and Syrian Christians. ' "The German-American press, as has been conclusively proved, was lav ishly subsidized by the German gov ernment during the early stagea of the war; 'as regards some of the papers the actual sums of money were pub lished. The immense majority of the German-American papers were open advocates of Germany, and ardent de fenders of her foulest actions against this country, even defending the sink ing of the Lusltania. They now dare not be quite so open, but continue more covertly their anti-American propaganda, attacking and vilifying our allies, and at least indirectly praising our brutal enemy. i"Whether'or not they are still sub sidized tht effect is equally bad. They endeavor: to keep themselves clear, of legal action for treason, but that is all. Recently I saw in the public press a Juotation from the editor of one such lerman-Amrican newspaper, who was arrested for disloyal utterances, and his defense was that he 'thought he had been keeping within the law)' Apparently he did not realise that he was hereby confessing this was all he was trying to dohe wished to be as disloyal as he could be and yet keep own Jan.-' 'iV'r -f Law of Treason. ?J-: . "About " the ; same time, only 1 a, couple of mouths ago, isnother, German-American paper began an article with these words: 'The provisions Of the law of high treason are of general interest just now to German-American editors' surety a significant .confes sion. Yet another Germait-Afnerican paper put the case in a nutshell about a month ago when it said; The prob lem of the German press is to save Germanism in the United States.': "This last statement contains' the crux of the situation. It shows that the man making it, and all the men who defend it, are not Americans, and have no business to remain longer in America. They are German and belong in Germany; they, are aliens here, and perilously near traitors. The time has come to make short shift of all men who take such views." ; v "The men who follow such a course' are endeavoring to weaken and em barrass the United States in the con duct of .the war in which the nation is engaged. This is treason. The time for silence about these men has passed; (be hour for action in the name of loyalty to America has struck. !. .

'Aa I said before, I have German blood in mv veins I am a child of the crucible, as so many Americans of the present already art and as ail Americans of the future will ultimate ly be. But alt of us who come out of the melting pot of this nation must be cast in the American mold. Very, very many of my staunchest frends in pub lie and private life art in whole or in part of German blood. Thy include men fit to fill every civil office in our country, front the president down, and to fill every military office from gen eral and admiral down. They art fit to direct our councils in peace and to lead our army and navy in war. They are thus fit because they are Amer icans, and nothing else I "Alt these men without a single ex ception stand as solidly against Ger many now as the signers of the Dec laration of Independence, the immense majority of whom were ot English blood, stood against the British in 1776. "In this country we must have but one flag, the flag that floats over all of us; and but one language, the langu age of Washington's farewell address and of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and second inaugural; and, above all, we must have but one loyalty, an ab solute 'and undivided loyalty to this great republic, which holds in its hand the golden hopes for the future of all mankind."

The coming of prohibition tot Ne braska had a remarkable effect ' on grand jury Indictments. ' Federal offi cials remarked the fact that not a sin gle Indian witness was present to testify about liquor violations in the Indian reservations. At some previ ous grand juries the corrldors-of the federal building have been crowded with Indian braves, squaws and pan pooses. Once a court order was made compelling the Indians to remain on the fouth floor so as not to interfere with business in the rest of tht build- "ihe present grand jury returned onlythree indictments for introduc ing liquor among the Indians. 'One of these was against Hazen Rouillard. Louis Walker and George Lawrence; one against JohnBear and Hattie Jones, and the other against Iowa Crow and : Louis Baker. Selling Liquor to Soldiers. . Four Omahans were indicted for selling liquor to soldiers in uniform.

Among the troops opposing them were Poles. The men made good start in getting over the top and swept through the eastern portion of Polygon wood. The Germans in re doubts on the eastern slopes of this wood surrendered and within a com paratively short time the Australians were surging across tht race course on the level below. North of. Polygon wood the Aus tralians, covered the ground assigned to them in two hours and twenty min. utes, the average depth of their ad vance bein$ 1,200 yards. The en tire Australian operation was accom plished with exceedingly smalt casu alties. It was a proud day for those Eng lish troops who forced their way into the western end of Zonnebeke village. Not since the bitter period of April, 1913, when the British were compel ed to withdraw from this place, had an allied soldier entered it. The wound of this defeat was healed large, ly today. In the sector north of Zonnebeke the offensive proceeded systematically until the final line was crushed. The Germans were active through, out last night and put down a heavy barrage fire before this morning's at tack, but it did little damage. Much machine gun fire and sniping was encountered at many places, but for the most part the Germans did not make a determined stand. Artillery Performs Well. The British artillery fire here had been exceedingly - good and the ground was strewn with enemy dead, Serious but brief fighting occurred at a few of the fortified farms and near the railway the Germans deliv. ered an immediate counter attack, but this was broken quickly, Among the prisoners in this sec tor were a number of Prussians who are sturdy-looking troops, Prisoners were coming in all along the line of the offensive, but it was impossible to estimat the total further than that several hundred had been accounted for at an erly hour. The British are maintaining their new line strongly. The main battle today was, in. the. neighborhood of Cameron house, south of the eastern extremity of Polygon wood, where the Australians are pressing the Ger mans hard. The situation as a whole is virtually unchanged. , , , Northwest ; of.: Zonnebeke heavy fighting continues in the region of the elevations which, dominate a con siderable extent of territory. From the British standpoint the sit uation resulting from he offensive is exceedingly satisfactory. 1 T.R. TELLS HOW HE KEKT THE KAISER FROM VENEZUELA (Continued from Faca Oaa.)
