In Norfolk; Interned
Paul Leubcke. a rirominent mr.
chant of Norfolk. Neb., and owner of
tarms near there, was arrested and
brought to Omaha by. Deputy United
States Marshal Quinley.
He is charged with being an alien
enemy of the United States. He was
arrested on ordera from United States
Attorney Generar Gregory and will
be interned at Fort Douglas, Utah, for
the period of the war. He is now in
the county jail. .
"It is too bad," said Leubcke, when
he was arrested. He said he had talked
in favor of , Germany before the
United States entered the war, but
has done no pro-German talking since
then.
Reports that have come to the De
partment of Justice, however, said he
was active in championing the Ger
man cause even since this country
entered the war. It was for this reason
that the order for his arrest was made.
Omaha Instructor is Not
Pro-German,' Says Beveridge
Superintendent Beveridge of the
public schools defends A. J. Wede
king, head of German department at
Central High school, against a public
attack made on him in Lincoln in
connection with a circular he sent as
chairman of the German section, of
the Nebraska State Teachers' asso
ciation. ."There Is, nothing pro-German In
his system," said the superintendent
"The circular in. question went
through our office and was approved..
He is above reproach and is merely
striving to conserve alt that is best in
the German literature, a part of rnr
educational system which was an-
proved long before this war was
started and which will endure long
after the war is over. The attack was
unjustifiable." y x .

That Fear by Increasing

"The world war was not started by
the' maniac who fired the shot that
illed the ctown prince of Austria,"

the Omaha Philosophical society
Sunday afternoon. "Nor was it started

Wholly responsible.
It had its oriein in the' dawn of

instituted, resting upon the will of a
self-constituted autocrat Since that
day the spirit of the people has
steadily risen above the base level of
paying tribute to an autocrat. De

Dole. Thsy are unreconcilable. In
dvefy contest, one of them must go
under. Since . man first began to
question the assumotlons of autocracv
and to fo-mulate his ideas as to the
natural principles that underlie so
ciety, autocracy has gradually grown
less popular tn tne common mind. It
might be efficient, but it denied the
rights of man. It might feed men.
but it bound them in chains. '
"As autocracy felt itself slipping in
the last centurv and a half, it ex-
pressed its fear by increased military
power, waving no principles of jus
tice upon which to rest it needs must
rely upon brute force. In that sens
is Germany responsible for the pres
ent war. The assassin's bullet but
furnished the spark for which she had
prepared for a half century. She had
no faith in the moral law. She
trusted to deception, to hypocrisy and
to murder. While other nations pur

her best energy in perfecting imple

"I am for the destruction of all
military power on earth, even. though
we must resort to the extreme in
methods to destroy it So lone as na
tions prepare for war they shall have
it. I am for the league to enforce
peace. I am for its program to carry
these ideas out. The time is not far
distant when the world will consider
any nation an enemy to mankind
when it seeks to build up a military
power.

KILLING FROST TOO
LATE TO BURT CROPS
Corn is Ont of the' Way
Harm; Light Snow in
Northern Fart of
State.
of
my
Sunday night Nebraska was hit by
a killing frost, the first of the season.
According to morning reports to the
railroads, the cold wave extended
from the mountains east to the lakes
and beyond.
Over Nebraska there was not only
a trost, but there was a freeze, tern
peratures ranging from 40 along the
Missouri river valley to as low as 21
degrees above zero out in the state.
the coldest being at Randolph.
Along the Northwestern's north
ern line during Sunday afternoon and
night, there were light snow falls
from Chadron, Neb., through to Lan
der, Wyo., and up into South Dakota,
as tar as the clack Hills.
There were light snow flurries
along the' west end of the Nebraska
division of the Union Pacific and
along the Burlington from McCook
far out into Colorado.
The railroads report clear weather
all through the western part of the
state with rising temperatures.
Railroad men are of the ooinion
that the freeze has resulted in little
or no damage to the corn, the only
crop not gathered, aside from the su
gar beets. They assert that the corn
generally was fully matured and that
the cold weather has been beneficial,
stopping the growth of the stalks and
thus permitting the ears to dry out. .
Truck gardeners on the Omaha
market told of freezing temperatures
up and down the river. The freeze
was sufficiently hard to kill tomato
vines and all the green stuff. The
loss, however, they say, will be insig
nificant, as practically all the garden
products have been gathered.

good."
Deering, negro, was charged with
illegal possession of liquor. His was
