: MUNITION SHORTAGE
; IN GERMANY SERIOUS
Von . Hindenbarg Appeals to
Labor Groups to Speed Up
Manufacture of Much
- Needed Supplies.
Copenhagen. Oct. 4. Leaders of
various groups of German labor were
received at main army headquarters
this week, not for the purpose of con
gratulating Field Marshal von Hin-
r1nhnrcr nn hit hitthrfau nc firct tvaa
intimated, but in an effort to have
German workmen speed up the pro
duction of munitions. The leaders
submitted to General von Luden
ejorff, the chief quartermaster general,
complaints of the laboring classes.
These dealt particularly with the
operation of the compulsory labor
service law. A lengthy conference
was devoted to discussing the possible
improvement of labor conditions and
the maintenance of the output of mu
nitions, wnicn general von I.uden-
dorflE declared was the cardinal duty
of the hour.
Recently private but trustworthy
reports have been received by the As
sociated Press that the German au
thorities were experiencing difficulty
: in preventing a failing off in the pro
duction of munitions, owing to the
lowering of the working capacity of
the individual, w:dcr-fcrl workmen
and the scarcity of certain raw ma
terials, notably the more rare metals
toed in the manufacture of high grade
bteels. It is doubtful also if Germany
will be able to keep pace with further
increases in Anglo-American produc
" tion if, indeed, it is now even holding
its own.

Goddess of Liberty Chews Plug;
Scandal in Electrical Parade
Sh, sh, ah! Scandal in our set. Breathe it not in Askalon nor whisper
it in Kent.
The Goddess of Liberty chews tobacco!
She was seen Wednesday night, one one of the electrical floats, mak
ing a deep incision into a segment of luscious plug of the weed that soothes.
The end-to-end reporter said "the Goddess of Liberty courted Lady
Nicotine," but the managing editor deleted that outbreak as evidence of
paranoia.
Anyway the Goddess of Liberty did take a chew of tobacco and wai
seen by Careful Observer.
An investigation probably will be held. 1

Friday
National Park bank, the Guaranty
Trust company, J. P. Morgan & Co.
and the Royal Bank of Canada. V With
the exception of Adolph Pavenstedt.
none of the New York bankers had
any reason to believe, it is said, that
there-was anything strange in the
transaction. Pavenstedt was examined
yesterday by Mr. Lewis.
Many in the Affair.
A statement given out by Mr. Lewis
brings into the affair, besides Count
von IJernstorff, the evGerman ambas
sador to the United States. Hugo
Schmidt, German banker and agent in
New York, up to the break with Ger
many, of the Deutsche bank of Ber
lin; Adolph Pavenstedt, former head
of the New York banking house of
G. Amsinck & Co., and a number of
other persons whose names are for
the present withheld from publication.
The evidence shows, according to
Mr. Lewis, that it, was through
Schmidt, as the agent, of the Deuts
che! bank of Berlin, that Bcrnstorff
advanced the money to Bolo Pasha,
Pavenstedt ' appearing ias the go-between.
!;
BoIq Pasha arrived in New York on
February 22, 1916, andlcft on March
17, following. He saw Bernstorff se
cretly in Washington, it is said.
Big Sum to Le Journal
As toon as the money reached the
Royal Bank of Canada, New York
branch, it was deposited to the credit
of Bolo Pasha and the latter began to
check it out. The first check for $170,-
000 was deposited with J. P. Morgan
& Co. to the credit of Senator Charles
Humbert, owner of Le Journal of
Paris. The sum of $524,000 was trans
ferred to Mme. Bold in ' Paris, and
$5,000 was placed to . the credit of
Jules Bois. a French lecturer then in
the United States) About $1,000,000;
was transferred to Paris and placed'
to Bolo Pasha's credit in a French
bank.? - ;
Attorney General Eewis says the
disclosures, in no way reflect on M.
Bois, who, he adds, "was one of
several men used by Bernstorff .and
Bolo as a cloak to hide the real na
ture of the work they were engaged
in..
The attorney general also empha
sized in hit statement that the devel
opments in no Way reflect on any of
the banks named, the Deutsches bank,,
of course, excepted. Adolph Paven-;
stedt, he added, was the only mem-,
ber of r the banking firm "of G. Am
sinck & Co., as that bank was then
organized, who knew the Bernstorff
Bolo-Schmidt secret. A few employes,
who knew that hundreds of thous
ands of dollars were coming into the
bank inthe form of cashiers' checks
from the National Park bank and the,
r.mi'iniv fnmnanv were enioined bvi
Pavenstedt to remain silent, and they
did until brought before the attorney
general a few days ago. ,

artillery activity northeast of Verdun.
The French air forces have been busy
again at reprisal work, however, visit
ing the Prussian city of Frankfort
once more and also bombarding Ra
statt, a c'ty of 14,000 population in
Baden.
The northern wing of the onrush
ing British troops was battling fjr
ward this morning within a short' dis
tance of Poelcappele. It had a footing
on the famous Gravenstafel ridge,
which juts out from the Passchen
daele ridge to the west,' and' had
crushed through the Zonnebeke
Broodseinde ridge, which is an inte
gral part of the . Passchendaele
Gheluvelt chain.
British Raid on Macedonia Front.
A successful raid by British air
planes on hostile positions on the
Macedonian front is reported in an
official statement from the war office
today. The statement says:
"Our airplanes made a most suc
cessful raid on an extensive scale,
bombing the Enemy's camps and
dumps on the Belaschitza-Planina.
Hostile troops were scattered by ma
chine gun fire and one of several en
emy airplanes which attacked our
formation was brought down. All our
machines returned safely."
The force of Field Marshal Haig's
drive today apparently was greater
than that of last week, for the early
press dispatches reported advances of
a mile or more in places as the Brit
ish advance swept over the crest of
the Passchendaele-Gheluvelt ridge.
Completion of the capture of this
ridge is the immediate objective of
the British. Possession of it will open
up the level Flanders plain to them.
Petrogtad, Oct, 4.On the north
ern end of the Russian front in the re
gion of Jacobstadt an artillery duel of
great severity is in progress, says to
day's official statement.
: On the Roumanian front in the Po
liani sector the enemy left its ad
vanced trenches and retired to a more
favorable position.
The British! already have penetrat
ed well beyond the Hamlet of Broad
seinde, in which lie the cross-roads
formed by the highways between
Zonnebeke and Moorsled and Pass
chendaele and Beclaire.
Further to the south, Cameron
Covert, where there had been much
hard fighting, was left welt in the
fear. x -
Today's battle was along strong
holds which comprised the crucially
important system of German defenses
along the Passchendaele-Gheluvelt
ridge. -v '

ceived word when the new 3-cent
postage rate provide for in the bill
will go into effect. Three million of
these stamps are already in the
Omaha postoffice. There is a differ
ence of opinion among the local post
office men as to what effect the 3
cent rate will have. Some believe it
will cut down the amount of first
class mail so much that there won't
be any consideVable additional sum
realized from this part of the postal
business at the 3-cent rate.
If you are a single person earning
more than $20 a week you have to
pay income tax under this bill You
have to pay tax on your total income
for the year 1917, says Internal Reve
nue Collector Loomis.
Thousands of Omahans who have
never made the acquaintance of the
federal income tax will do so now. It
will take in, a multitude of stenogra
phers, clerks, carpenters, masons, ma
chinists, printers and so on. men and
women in all walks of life. Only
$1,000 is exempted from the tax. On
all over that sum 2 per cent must be
paid. If you are making $1,500 a year
ou have to pay 2 per cent on SoOO,
!iich is $10. Married oersons have
.i exemption of $2,000 and pay 2
per cent on alt above that.
