German Naval Mvtiiny Indicates Internal Strife
SOME MEMBERS
OF REICHSTAG
UNDER SUSPICION
Statement of Minister of Ma
rine Places Socialists on
Guard; Vorwaerts At
tacks Government.
Rotterdam, Otc. 1L The state
ments of Vice Admiral von Capelle,
the German minister of marine, have
turned the Reichstag into a theateV
of the wildest scandal, says the Vor
waerts, discussing the exposure of
mutinies within the German navy.
The socialist newspaper adds that
there is no shadow of proof that any
deputies were guilty of illegal action
in connection with the mutiny.
The Vossische Zeitung describes
the attack on the independent social
ists as a deplorable and illegal trick
on the part of the government. The
Tageblatt contends that if the Reich
stag believes that the independent so
cialists are guilty, they must be hand
ed over to the court. '
The Koelnische Zeitung expresses
surprise that the government, "when
it ,had such strong proofs of guilt
against three persons suspected of
treason, did not ask the consent of
the Reichstag to take legal measures.
No Reichstag would have been able
to refuse consent.' 1
Army Also in' Mutiny.
London, Oct. 10. A Hague dis
patch to the Daily Mail says that, ac
cording to the report there,, the mu
tinous battleships at Wilhelmshaven
included the Luitpold and the Kaiser.
Several mutinous '.outbreaks also are
reported to have occurred among
soldiers at the front. These were not
of such a grave character, the dis-,
patch says.
' Furious Disorder Follows.
A dispatch to the Central News
from Amsterdam says that at the con
clusion of Admiral von Capelle's
statement in the Reichstag on the
mutiny in the German navy there
were scenes of a most disorderly
character, the shouts from the other
deputies being heard loud above the
furious interruptions of the socialists.
Punishment Just, Says Michaclis.
A Reuter dispatch from Amster
dam says advices received there from
Berlin are to the effect that Chan
cellor Michaelis declared the punish
ments inflicted on the men at Wil
helmshaven were not unjust, papers
found on them indicating that they
had bound themselves to recognize
the principles of the independent so-
i , j : il.. i-u-t. ...
ciansis anu proving mai uiai yany
had carried on an extensive agitation
in the fleet.
The chancellor is reported to have
added that the independent socialists
belonged to a party in which he could
place no confidence, as they were en
dangering the state. The punish
ments meted out to the men, he said,
had to be severe, as everything was
at stake in a critical moment.
Handwriting Experts to
Testify in Kidnaping Case
Marshfield, Mo., Oct. 11. Hand
writing experts .were expected to com
plete the testimony for the prosecu
tion here today in the trial of Claude
J. iersol, 20 years old, alleged leader
of a band that kidnaped Baby Lloyd
Keet from the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. Holland Keet, at
Springfield, Mo., on the night of May
30 last.
It was believed that a comparison
of the writing of the notes received
by Mr. Keet during the period after
the baby's abduction and before the
body was found in a well on the de
serted Crenshaw homestead, and that
of a note Piersol was tricked into
writing while in the St. Louis jail

fense testimony, it was believed, might
be begun at the afternoon session of

HYMENEAL -
German Shell-Hole Defenses
Prove Traps for Occupants
(By Associated Press.)
With the French Army in Flanders,
Oct. 11. The new system of front
line defenses inaugurated by the Ger
mans, who, instead of utilizing line
trenches, organized nests of shell
holes, proved a regular trap in the
battle just ended. The German
troops who occupied the craters with
out other shelter, when they found
during the fighting that their officers
were not with them, deserted as soon
as the French approached. The Ger
man officers meanwhile were shel
tered in concrete pill boxes furtherto
the rear.
The correspondent spoke today
with seeral prisoners, officers and
men, all of whom seemed to be in a
terrible condition of fatigue.( The of
ficers declared that their companies
were reduced to a strength of only
forty m:n, some of whom were mere
boys of 18. The men said they were
well provi ed with food while on the
front lines, but that in the interior
of the country the privations were
great.
The French troorr yesterday, de
spite the condition of the ground,
made - further advance, straightening
out their line toward the borders of
Houtholst and taking additional
batches of prisoners.

Help to Win
The World War;
Appeal to Kiddies
(Continued From Page One.)
saparilla pop had to make the same
decision that every boy is called upon
to make when he is jumped upon by
a tough customer.
Make 'Em Yell "Enough."
Another question (boys only): Did
you ever let a boy up before he yelled
Enough and then have the whole
fight over again?
If so, you might go around in your
neighborhood and give some valuable
information to. people older than
yourself.
If you (this is for both boys and
girls) went out into the woods for a
picnic with another "bunch" of young
people you knew and liked, and if your
crowd had a basket of things to eat
and the other crowd had a basket and
some tougnies came aiong ana stoie
the basket belonging to the other
crowl, would you give them some
thing to eat out of your basket, or let
them sit over by themselves, hungry
and miserable, and watch you stuff
yourselves?
You'd play fair, of course, even if
yon had to go a little hungry.
Mr. Hoover is now asking every
boy and girl in America to play fair
and divide up with the hungry young
sters of France and Belgium and
Great. Britain.
There isn't enough food An the
world to go around if we ar4 selfish
and claim more than our share.
How can a boy or girl under high
school age really help to win the war?
First join the Junior Red Cross.
Then keep on saying, -"I know
Uncle Sam is right and I will pull for
him until he wins."
Believe what you say.
Root for Uncle Sam.
Root for the U. S. A. as you would
root for your base ball nine or your
basket ball five.
Stand out on the edge of the side
walk and cheer the soldiers as they
swing by.
If you get a chance to hold yarn for
a Red Cross knitter, do your "bit,"
and say to yourself, when your arms
begin to get tired: "I am helping on
a pair of socks, and these socks will
keep a soldier warm and prevent him
from being ill or discouraged. When
the time comes for him to fight he will
be in better condition and more will
ing to fight because he had these
warm socks to wear. He will climb
over the top of a trench and help to
chase the Germans back to where
they belong There will be a great
victory and I will share in it because
I held the yarn that knit the socks
that warmed the feet that carried the
man that chased the German that
obeyed a kaiser that has to he licked
before the world can go back to
housekeeping."
Probably the children to whom we
are now talking are better posted re
garding United States history than
are some of the people who talk
about it.
What Our Kiddies Know.
The children have got the Declara
tion of Independence and the Emanci
pation Proclamation freshlvin mind
and know what they were about and
why.
They know that this country is dead
set against slavery, either of the old
fashioned kind of chains and shackles,
or the modern sugar-coated German
variety.
They know that our boys now in the
training camps or on their way to
France are Retting ready to fieht
Ugainst the oppressions of a cruel des
pot, just as some other American
boys once fought at Bunker Hill.
By the way, if you can find a man
or woman who does not understand
how the rights of a democracy are
to be preserved when kings go on the
rampage, you might loan this ignorant
person your school history. Mark the
pages relating to the Boston Tea
Party, the. Liberty Bell, Lexington,
Valley Forge and Yorktown.
See if you can find any favorable
mention of the pacifists of 17761

ALSACE-LORRAINE
PROBLEM TO COME
BEF0RERE1CHSTAG
Decisive Steps Expected in
Few Days; Majority Javors
Formation of Monarchal
Stale With Guarantees.
Amsterdam, Oct. 11. The Reich
stag probablv will- take a decisive
step forward in regard to the ques
tion of Alsace-Lorraine within a
few days, the Vossische Zeitung of
Berlin says. The Reichstag majority
supports the idea of the formation
of a monarichal federal state with
democratic and parliamentary guaran
tees. The newspaper believes that
this plan also is favored by the im
perial government which has aban
doned the scheme of dividing Alsace
Lorraine between Prussia and Ba
varia. During the debate in the Reichstag
rsterday Deputy Conrad Haussmann
said that the declaration of Dr. von
Kuehlmann, the foreign secretary
that apart from Alsace-Lorrainelhere
is1 no absolute bar to peace was
tantamount to a definite understand
ing that Belgium should be given up.
"That should be heralded forth to
all the nations," the deputy added.
Reduction of Armaments.
Gustav Stresemann. a national lib
eral, said he would not oppose a re
duction of armaments, but he thought
mat disarmament hardly was oracti-
cal politics.
Count von WestraD. a conservative.
thought that Germany's answer to the
pope ought to have made clear that
Germany would not undertake to dis
arm, and hoped that Von Kuehlmann
had not tied himself to yielding uo
Belgium.
George Ledtbour. social demo
crat leader, dwelt on the damage done
to tne oerman cause by the revela
tions concerning Von Luxburg, the
German minister to Argentina. He
considered that the population of oc
cupied territory should be permitted
to decide their own fate.
Count von Luxburg Under
- Arrest; Will Be Interned
Buenos Aires, Oct. 11. Count von
Luxburg, the German minister who
was recently handed his passports by
me Argentine government, has been
arrested in the' southern oart of
Buenos Aires province, according to
the highest authority. He is now be
ing taken to the island of Martin
Garcia, where he will be kept in the
German detention camp under mili
tary guard until an opportunity is
found to send him from the country.

Subscriptions should be made to the

sonal sacrifices are involved, Cardinal
Gibbons today declared in a letter to
tho Maryland Liberty loan committee.
"With the sincerest wishes for the

be of some help to the government
and to encourage others by Example,
I am subscribing to the extent of my
limited means," he wrote.
New York, Oct. 11. The marked
increase in the number of small sub
scriptions ranging from $50 to $500
announced yesterday indicates that
the great campaign organization built
up by the Liberty loan committee was
beginning to reach the mass of the
people of the Second Federal Re

Total subscriptions to date amount

There are thousands of men and women, whose children
attend the public schools of Omaha, who are radically op
posed to the practice and principle of vaccination. Their
opposition is based upon a knowledge of cases where vac

These men and women believe in the principle of medi
cal freedom. They protest the assumed right of boards of
health or school, boards to enforce an arbitrary decree for
vaccination. They contend for the right to decide for them
selves whether or not their children shall be vaccinated.
They are organizing1 a committee of protest and invite

CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
How to Destroy the Germ and End
Disease.
To catarrh so it won't come back you
must, according to a noted authority, first
drive from your body the millions of germs
that are flourishing in the inner recesses of
your nose and throat and are causing the
disease.
There i a preparation which does this
called Hyomel (pronounced High-o-me.) Hy
omei is a germ-killing vaporized air formed
from the purest oil of Eucalyptus combined
with other healing and antiseptic Ingredients
You breathe Hyomei through the mouth and
nose by means of a little hard rubber in
haler which druggists furnish with it This
medicated germicidal air penetrans into ev
ery fold and crevice of the mucous mem
brane of your nose and throat, kills the ca
tarrh germs that - lodge there, soothes, re
duces and heals the swollen inflamed mem
branes, stops the discharge and opens up the
clogged nose and air passages in a truly
wonderful way. Sherman A HcConnell Drug
Co. and many other leading druggists in
Omaha and vicinity sell Hyomei with the
positive guarantee that it must eure ca
tarrh or that the money paid for it will
be refunded Advertisement.
