GREAT WORLD WAR
Rev. P. D. Vassileff Tells Oma
ha Ministers Germans Are
Far Too Strong for Allies
to Conquer.
Rev. F. E. Camp, pastor of the
Swedish Evangelical Mission church,
was elected president of the Omaha
Ministerial union at its meeting Mon
day morning. Rev. E. B. Taft, pastor
of Grace Baptist church, was elected
vice president and Rev. A. F. Ernst,
pastor of Lowe Avenue Presbyterian
church, was elected secretary-treasurer.
'
The new executive committee is
composed of Rev. E. B. Taft. Rev. E.
H. Jenks pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, and Rev. G. A. Hul
bert, pastor of St. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church.
Rev. P. D. Vassileff, Congregational
missionary to the immigrants at Ellis
island, New York, declared in an ad
dress that the great war will end
without either side being victorious.
Germans Too Strong.
"The Germans are too strong," he
.said, "to be beaten. The allies are
hampered by having to bring men and
supplies great distances."
' Mr. Vassileff is a Bulgarian and he
declared Bulgaria was forced into the
- war on the German side.
"The Germans were advancing on
Macedonia, where great numbers of
Bulgarians live," he said. "Bulgaria
'had received only promises from the
allies. She had to go in with Ger
many or Germany would have vio
lated her territory. But as soon as
the allies have checkmated the Ger
man .strength, the . Bulgarians will
turn on Turkey, their old enemy."
Wars to Continue.
Mr. Vassileff further declared that
"this will be the last war, only on
paper." He said wars will continue.
He declared'. he had made predic
tion of every move made on the
" various fronts since the war started.
John L. Kennedy delivered an ad
dress at the opening of the meeting
on the Liberty bonds.
' "If the a'lics do, riot win this war,"
he said, "civilization will be set back
for centuries. The time has come
when the Christian peoples must stand
together to defend the principles of
Christianity and humanity against the
. ruthless forces of might. The gov
ernment is not asking you , to give
- money, but simply to loan it on the
' best securities in the world. If you
have no money to loan, you can, loan
the government your credit. And you
can push the Liberty bonds in your
churches." -

HOWARD ADMITS HE
WILLMNATOR
Lieutenant Governor Declares
There Is No Doubt But He
Will Be Successor to
George W. Norris.
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Oct 15. (Special.)
Lieutenant Governor Edgar How
ard of Columbus says he will be the
next United States senator from Ne
braska. To The Bee he conveyed this
important item of news.
There is no Question about it.
said he. "I know it, and when I
know a thing it happens just that
wav."
This is valuable information to the
people of the state and especially so
to other democratic candidates who
may aspire to the nomination for the
Washington job. It is important
news to Senator George W. Norris,
who, it is rumored is undecided
whether to be a candidate for another
term or retire to private life and
practice law in New York.
Others Take Notice. -Therefore
I. J. Dunn of Omaha and
W. H. Thompson of Grand Island
must take notice that they have out
lived the day of grace and slipped a
cog, so to speak. Lieutenant Governor
Howard announced many weeks ago
that he would be a candidate for the
senate provided that neither Dunn or
Thompson wanted the place. He has
waited patiently for word from them,
and as nothing has appeared but long
continued silence, they have lost their
chance and must now submit to the
inevitable. ' i
When Governor Neville resigns as
overnor and marches away at the
ead of the "Lucky Seventh," the
lieutenant governor will then be gov
ernor. Some people have ventured
the opinion that he would aspire to
succeed himself sp that when the leg
islature convenes the next time he
might be in a position to veto bills
passed bv the unholv combination
run by the Mattes-Kohl faction should
those two democrats come back next
session. However the constitution of
the state says that no officer of the
executive department shall be eligi
ble to any other, state office during
the period for which he was elected.1
Supreme Courts Views. ;
The supreme court of the state has
decided that the law is a good one
and in the case brought by Lieutenant
Governor McKelvie some, years ago
to test his rieht to run for the -office
of governor decided that a lieutenant
governor could not even resign dur
ing his term and be eligible to run
tor the Higher, place. Lieutenant
Governor Howard was elected for the
term beginning January 4, 1917 and
ending January j, lviy. According
to the constitution and the ruling of
the supreme court he could not be
eligible to run for any other state of
fice dunntr that time, the term tor
which he was elected lieutenant gov
ernor. 1 -v . -.f .
' Therefore it is oossible that Gov
ernor Howard may have a hunch that
he is going to Washington and t he
does there is no Question but he and
the other Nebraska senator will work
with the same harmony that has char
acterized their attitude in Nebraska
durtns the past few. years wheU'each
one loved the other in a more1 less
adverse' degree. ' s rrr.
