(By Associated PreM.) Chicago, Oct. 28. With the close of the ,"Bi(f Ten" foot ball race less than a month away, coaches of the four leading elevens Ohio State, Illi nois, .Minnesota and Chicago tomor row will begin to drive their charges through five days of the stiffest kind of training in preparation for crucial games of the season next Saturday With a single exception, favorites came through yesterday's games on the winning end and in every instance the victors held their opponents score less. Perhaps the biggest tipsct was the 20 to 0 defeat of Nebraska at the hands of Michigan. The Cornhuskers had been heralded as having one of the "strongest teams developed at the Nebraska institution in years, but after the first period the Nebraska de fense 'crumbled ftnd the Wolverines plowed througn tne line tor consistent gains. Michigan Makes Rep. J lie victory stamps Michigan as one of the most powerful teams in tjie west, although it is not considered in tag ien atiairs this season, as it has only one conference game Northwestern on its schedule The Wolverines played a better ile- tensive ana oncnsive game man u iu Nebraska and fought doggedly when tb Cornhuskers attempted to score. Chicago established itselt in the conference race by defeating North western, its traditional rivel, 7 to 0, in the bitterest game played on Stagg field in years. Tty victory indicates that the Chi cago eleven will make a far more creditable showing in the race than the one of a year ago. The 27 to 0 triumph Illinois scored over Purdue indicates that Illinois and Chicago, which clash next Saturday, are practically of equal strength. After being held scoreless in the first half Illinois played brilliant foot ball in the final periods and kept the ball in Purdue's territory. Wisconsin had no trouble in tak ing Iowa into camp, 20 to 0. The Badgers outweighed their foe and made four successive marches down the field, but lost one opportunity to I finish wit uiruugu penalties. Wisconsin probably would have rolled up a big ger count, but kept its new forma tions under cover in preparation for Minnesota next Saturday. The powerful Ohio state eleven made a track meet out of the game against Denison ad rolled up a 67 to 0 score. Notre Dame was much too strong for the heavy South Dakota state eleven, which fell before a 40 to 0 count South Dakota was unable to pierce the N6tre Dame line and suc ceeded only once in making first down, a forward pass netting 25 yards. The Michigan Aggies continued their losing streak . Saturday, drop ping me lourtn game ot their schdule to the University of Detroit, 14 to 0. -r GRID TEAMS SHOW TRUETO DOPE Pennsylvania Holds Pittsburgh Better Than Last Year; Col gate Loses by a Missed 'Goal. New York, Oct. 28. Development of unexpected strength on the part of several elevens thotiKlit to be out classed by more prominent rivals, was the feature of the week on eastern gridirons. While there were no form upsets and in most cases victories were won in accordance with fore casts, the play of the vanquished teams surprised both loyal supporters and opposing combinations. This was particularly true of the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania contest at Philadelphia. A year ago the Pittsburgh eleven triumphed over the Red and Blue, bf a score of 20 tp 0, yet on .Saturday, with a far inferior squad to draw from, the Quakers covered themselves with glory by holding the invaders to a 14-to-6 victory, which tested the ability of the winners to the limit. Lose by Missed Goal. A missed goal from touchdown was the margin that defeated Colgate in its contest witli Rrpwn. The Hruno ians swept the New York state col legians off their feet with the severity of their attack from the very start of the game. Syracuse and the Navy ran rough shod over Tufts and Haverford, respectively, but the Army found Villanova a suprisingly strong op ponent. Princeton's informal team won from Camp Dix Field artillery, but Camp Devins team held Harvard's infor mal to a no score, tie.

Aked, noted New York and San Francisco preacher and lecturer, spent a busy Sunday m Omaha churches. At the First Methodist church, where he delivered a morning address. Dr. Aked was greeted with an over flow crowd and , the enthusiastic gathering whetted the doctor's re marks until they fairly sparkled with facts and truth of present war condi tions in Armenia and Scrvia.

Speaking of conditions in Turkey, Dr. Aked said: "What I tell you people today are facts. Get that firmly fixed in your minds at once. Don't let the slightest doubt of their authenticity exist. "Over 1,000,000 people have starved in Armenia, Scrvia and Turkey. Over 1.000,000 have been brutally murdered under the Teuton guise of deportation. Thousands are starving every day and that is the very reason I am here. "It has been estimated by relief authorities that to bring a ray of sun shine to those stricken people I mean a bare existence in the way of food it will require a contribution of 6 cents fromevcrv person in the United States. "There are over 200,000 people in Omaha the Armenian and Servian relief committee is in your midst and the answer lies directly up to you. We Americans sit by our warm radiators I am bringing this up to date try saying radiators instead of fire places and stubbornly refue to realize that, unless we wake up from our indifference, the same fate possi bly may be meted out to us." Dr. Aked cited several individual cases to bring the facts of the Ger man atrocities out more atrongly. Dr. William J. Condon Is Cleared of Murder New Brunswick. N. J.. Oct 28.

Teutons in Italian Drive Carry Banners Bearing Word 'Peace' (Oy AUitet Press.) , Italian Army Headquarters, Oct. 28. The military situation late last night was summed up by army officers as follows: The Austro-German advance still is held in check in the passes west of the lsonzo river leading to the Vene tian plain. But the gravity of the con ditions caused by the enormous forces of the enemy has led the supreme command of the Italian army to adopt precautionary measures. General Cadoma.-the Italian commander-in-chief, announced that in consequence of the retirement of the Italians to the former frontier line, further arrangements are now being made for falling back from the Bain sizza high plateau, ' In the meantime late reports from the front show that the enemy is com bining cunning with power, as his masses are advancing with huge ban ners bearing the word "Peace." '"his is an evident appeal to the Italian soldiers, although it is accompanied by the roar of artrilery and by bay onets beneath the banners. Air raids are now going on almost continually night and day, favored by clear weather and a splendid moon. Cities and towns near the front have the streets cleared many times daily. Business has been virtually suspended. Stores are closed and thoroughfares deserted. Mrs. Edmund Miles Buried At Lindsay; Died at Norfolk Lindsay, Neb., Oct. 28. (Special.)

Jewell at the last meeting of the Omaha Real Estate board spoke of his experience in inviting and assisting in entertaining the con vention of the National Building Owners and Managers recently in Omaha. Mr. Jewell introduced his remarks by asking his audience to coin some phrase expressing Omaha. His phrase was Omaha is an island of people en tirely surrounded by food." He called attention to the fact that we are ma tenausts m Umaha, and thinks we have a wrong view of what it takes to make a great city, where people will enjoy living and to which they eniov coming. We emphasize, he said the fact that Omaha is thirtieth in population and thirteenth in bank clearings. This, he insisted, is not to our credit. We are short on people of whom we do not have enough to take care of the business we have and do not present inducements for peopie to come and make this their home. He said that in urging the re cent convention to come to Omaha at the meeting in St Louis last year they insisted they did not care to come to Omaha, and when asked why stated that it was uninteresting nothing to do when you get there its hot. It was always necessary to urge them to come or stop off at Omaha. He thinks our publicity liter ature does not give Omaha a square deal. "We make a great deal out of just two exhibits the stock yards and tne smelter botn in smelling, un pleasant and uncomfortable and neither of them elevating, restful or entertaining, he said. Should Exploit Pleasant Features. "We have other features that ought to be exploited. Our people are un usually intelligent hospitable, and pleasant to meet and this ought to be impressed upon strangers. We have put our worst foot forward in past years in publicity. The speaker urged that we have many other things that ought to be featured, in which we are better and can do better than other cities. Our history is romantic and fascinating the Indian, pony express, the trails, all of these are intensely interesting and if we would talk them more peo pie would stop to see the Military road, the Old Oregon Trail, the Bird Sanctuary recently created at Child's Point, the burialjMace ot i'ontenelle City Planning Urged. "Some cities become famous be cause they had the birth place or the home of home great men; others be cause of the natural scenery or at traction. Omaha has neither of these, but it can exploit instead the peo pie." He also urged the need of our standing back of the city planning idea. This is sometimes criticized, be cause men 'think it costs something and do not see where they can make monev out it," he said It is the idea that is making Cleveland famous. and also Detroit and other cities and leading the traveler to stop and spend days and sometimes make his home in these cities. Cleveland is the sixth city, larger because it has combined the idealistic with the ma terialistic and is famous as a pleasant place and healthful place to live. Let is place more emphasis on .beauty and quality, the finer life, and the possibilities of our people and our city, rather than only on that of money making." Dye Makers Supply Domestic Needs and Ship Abroad Washington, Oct. 28. (Special Telegram.) The American dye in dustry has not only grown big enough to supply practically all do mestic needs, but is now exporting important quantities to other nations. In July nearly $500,000 worth of aniline dyes were shipped abroad, ac cording to figures published by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the Department of Commerce. This is the first time that separate statistics for aniline exports have ever been issued, the innovation resulting from the recent striking growth of the trade. Of all the industries created or de veloped as a direct result of war con ditions, none has shown more rapid progress than American dyestuffs. From only seven establishments in whirli 528 neonle were engaged in producing 6,619,729 pounds of coal-tar colors, valued at $1,126,699, in. 1914, the industry has developed until now it not only . upplies the domestic de mand for colors, but has even invaded the foreign market in European ncu- tral and allied countries, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, British India, and Japan. No other article of commerce more vitally ;...'ects a greater number of in dustries than do coal-tar dyes, and very few articles rival them in com plexity of manufacture. At the out break of the war the difficulties in the way of soon providing adequate do mestic supplies seemed insurmount able; yet in the short space of three years otes of plants covering many acres have been erected; numerous by-product coke ovens have been equipped to furnish the lecessary raw materials; thousands of workmen have been trained; special machinery has been designed, built and installed; hundreds of chemists and chemical engineers have given their entire time to the unfamiliar work connected with color production; experimental research has been inaugurated for perfecting processes and machinery and the possible discovery of new colors; organization, consolidations, and alliances have been affected within the industry to further increase output at decreased cost; and it is understood in the trade plans are under way for entering foreign mar kets on a large scale. Rents Aviate When Costs Of Maintenance Increase The Realtor, the organ of the Minneapolis Real Estate board, in a recent issue discussed the rental situ ation, the while covering the condi tions quite as well in Omaha. In part the article runs as follows: "The necessity for the increased rentals for many types' of both busi ness and residence properitics, which were put into force this fall, has been evident to realtors for a long time. During the summer there has been quite a general increase in rentals for residence properties, especially such as are heated. However, there has been no corresponding increase in rentals for business property. "During the last five years rents have been practically static until this fall. This condition has been main tained in spite of a constant increase in maintenance costs for every type of property. xvuilllg una jjciiuu iiinao iui heated apartments have been practi cally stationary. Allowing for the usual differences of rental between new and old buildings, and the fluctua tions which occur in different neigh bjhoods, the ordinary housholder has, until this fall, been able to ob tain an apartment or a house at prac tically the same figure in 1916-17 as in 1912. During this same period from 1912 to 1917, inclusive, maintenance costs of all kinds have risen with great rapidity. Everything necessary for the proper upkeep of property, in eluding both labor and materials, has been steadily increasing in cost, ce low is given a table which includes few of the things in constant use in and about an office building and the increase in price for a period cov. ering the last three years: Per Cent.

Rolph, chief of the sugar division of the fed eral food administration. Stella Children Ride r To School in Omnibuses Stella, Neb., Oct. 28. (Special.) Bralton Union Consolidated school, ten miles northwest of Stella, owns three of the old fashioned city omni buses, which are used when the roads are too bad for motors. The district bought these busses at Falls City, when motor busses were installed there. The district furnishes these busses to the drivers, and keeps them in repair. In good weather, pupils within two miles of the school must furnish their own transportation. AMl'SEMKXTS. PHOTOPLAYS. Mme.
