Committee Appointed to Work
Out Methods-o( Increasing
Meat Production and Ap
peal fo Farmers.
Appointment "of a subcommittee to
work out methods of increasing: pro
duction of pork, mutton and beef, and
an appeal to th farmers of Nebraska
to realize that the winning 6f the war
depends on their increased production,
marked the Monday afternoon sitting
of the Nebraska live stock committee,
appointed to stabilize tye price of
pork. ' C
A message was. drafted and dis
patched to Food Dictator Hoover
pledging support of the government's
effort for increased production ot
meat.
The message to Hoover follows:
"We pledge our support of the gov
ernment's efforts for .the increased
production of meat. Wei feel it
vitally Important that a definite state
ment regardingthe. government's at
titude on cattle and sheep should be
made immediately. We suggest that
increased production would best be
secured by a public statement at this
time that there will be no attempt to
fix prices on cattle ,or sheep." "
The work of the committee, which
was born at the instigation of Food
Administrator Wattles, is one of the
most important of the several, organi
zations being perfected to care1 for the
nation's resources!
Meat Big Factor.
"This live stock committee is the
most important one of, the state, be
cause you handle the most important
foodstuff. The meat question is the
big factor in the winning of the
war," declared Mr. Wattles in ad
dressing the committee. ,?
"We must stimulate production.
Throughout all we must make a con
tinual demand for more production.
This is .a-tini -when -we must lay
aside personal interests - and think
only of, ht welfare Tourcounfry.: ;.
"What 1 ask of you is to stabilize the

it is our policy to reduce, prices. Sta
bilize the prices so the farmer will
know and we. will have won .half our
battle." . S. , - ,
The question of regulation of cattle
and sheep, Mr Wattles declared, will
be taken up in the near tuture. ine
importance of the pork situation de
manded first attention, he declared.
E. L. Burke, chairman, declared:
"The food' administration seeks to
deal squarely, with the producer and
ultimate consumer. These questions
must "be worked out slowly, for at this
time we cannot afford to go wrong."

the efforts of the young men should
be an incentive for the state to pass
its quota.
Relief in Sight.
In answer to a telegram sent Mon

Washington, Nov. 5. (Special Tel

He is one of the senators who op
posed entering the war, and is one of
the "wilful 12," attacked by the presi
dent. In much of the controversy of
the last session and earlier, he stood
with-Senator La Follette.
Democrats will make a strong effort
to defeat Senator Norris, and old

Message From Kaiser Advising
"Tino" of Greece to Attack Allies
(By Associated Frew.) -.
London, Nov.' S. A dispatch tyj
Renters Limited from Athens con
tains the texts of, telegrams secretly
exchanged between Athens and Ber
lin, prior to the Overthrow of King
Constantine. One of the most inter-
esting was sent November 23, 1916,
by Queen Sophie, sister of Emperor
William, to the emperor. It follows:
By a miracle we are unhurt The
allies bombarded the. palace for three
hours with the French fleet, which
opened fire without warning. We
took refuge in the cellars.
"There was lively street fighting to
day, revolutionaries firing irom nous
but we are prepared for anything.
Please tell us when the army of
Macedonia will be sufficiently strong
to take the offensive definitely."
Emperor William replied to his sis
ter as follows:
i tnanK you cordially tor your
telegram, which has caused me deep
emotion. I know the dangers through
which you, and Tino have passed. I
admire your courage at this difficult
time.
" I also note with pleasure the mag
nificent attitude of the "army and
their loyalty to the royal house. May
God deliver you from your horrible
position.
"The entente once nior ha crinurn
es on the army and people, who rits-hand, ' and nothing remains for
fought magnificently. It was a great
victory against four great powers,
whose troops fled before the Greeks
and withdrew, escorted by? Greek
soldiers.
"There is great anxiety over the "de
mands which the entente will make.
Tino to do but to take open action
against these brutes. The interven
tion of Tino, with his forces co-operating
against Sarrail's western flank,
wpuld bring about a decision in Mace
donia and , the liberation of poor
Greece Tino knows that."
An appeal to National Food Dicta
tor Herbert Hoover from Gurdon W.

Hoover.

tee, is expected to assume control of
the situation within a short time.

lows: v
"Great damage and loss to the po
tato crop in western Nebraska is be
ing caused and will continue unless a
large number of refrigerator cars can
be furnished a.t once to assist in mov
ing this crop.'
"Farmers in that section have no
facilities for storage 'and ' must mar
ket crop before freezing weather.
Many appeals for help are coming in.
Would like to have you put this mat
ter before railroad dictator and have
atleast 100 refrigerator cars sent here
fo use on Burlington and Northwest

to take this matter up with Mr. Fel

Government Requisitions Ten

Famine in Future,
Im r--- ' ' - ' ' .
(By Associated frus.)
Washington, Nov. 5. -An order re
quisitioning for the government -.10
per cent of the output of virtually. ev
ery coal mine in this country will be
issued by the fuel' ' administration
probably tomorrow. The coal will be
distributed by the government to
meet emergency requirments wher
ever they may arise.
Consumption is keeping pace so
closely with production that many
parts of the country are feeling the
pinch of a coal shortage. Industries
essential to the public welfare in
many cities face the prospect of clos
ing down and thousands of house
holders have found it impossible to
purchase a winter's supply of fuel.
Spot Coal for Emergencies.
The fuel administration has met
the situation as best it could by or-
J- ' JT-!J t . .
ucnng individual mines to supply
emergency needs, but it has been de
cided that a govenment pile of "spot
coal" will best serve the purpose.
Operators will be directed to trim
contracts generally to furnish the 10
per cent. It Is likely that instructions
will accompany the order directing
prdducers to reduce first the contracts
of concerns whose output is not re
quired either for war purposes of for
domestic requirements.
Within a short time the fuel admin
istration will classify all industries in
teh order of their importance and will
direct that they be supplied with coal
according to their classification. Es
sential industries and householders
will be classed under the heading "A"
and others will be rated as in the opin
ion of the govenment, they should be
supplied. ,
The fuel administration has re
ceived from the federal trade com
missions estimates on cost of produc
ing fuel oil and gasoline and will an
nounce soon the measure of control
it wilt assume over all production and
distribution.

Situation Most Grave.
(Br Associated Press.)
Italy's situation appears increasing. ,
ly grave today, with the announce
ment from Rome that the .Taglia
mento river, west of -which- General
Cadorna, had established his new line
after, the great retreat from the
Isonzo, had been crossed by the
Austro-German invaders..
-i The orossing'olth.e.ilyr appar
ently haY not yet been 'fn sufficient
force td compel- Cadorna tq decide'
upon abandonment- of the taglia
mento line, but the Teutonic com
mander undoubtedly, will make the
most of the opening he has forced to. '
debough against fhe Italian positions
north and south of the point where
he has gained a footing on the west
bank of the stream.
That this 'process is already under
way is" indicated . by ; the fact that
Rome tells of increasing Austro-German
pressure against the; Italian left
wing, where the crossing, was ef
fected.., i . ,
' . River Narrow Here. '
' The spot selected by the enemy for
the successful attempt near Pin
rano, about 40 miles from the mouth
of the river and about 17 miles north
west of Udine-was at a point where
the marshy ground encountered fur
ther to the south begins to disappear,
the banks rising perceptibly and the
river narrowing down.
If General Cadorna decides in -abandon
the Tagliamento line, his
next natural stand for the defense oi
Venice will be at the Levinza, from
10 to 15 miles further west, or fin
ally, at the Piave, some 10 miles fur1
ther in that direction.
Meanwhile, as the. opposing armies'
are struggling for the temporary mas
tery of the field, the entente leaders,
including the British and French
premiers and military advisers, are in
council in Rome to deal with the sit
uation, which admittedly is recog- -nizd
as grave, coupled as the power
ful attack from the east is, with the
threat of a flanking movement by the
Austro-German forces southward in
the Trentino, to the west of the pres
ent battlefront. j
FIRST AMERICAN
CASUALTY LIST
IS ANNOUNCED
Three Killed and 12 Captured
When Germans Raid
Trenches Occupied ty
U. S. Troops.
Washington, Nov. 5. American
troops captured by the. Germans in
the trench raid on the morning of
November 3 probably were trapped
in their dugbuts and forced to sur
render or be blown to pieces with
hand grenades without a chance for
their lives.
This is the only explanation which
occurs to army officers today, lacking
any details of the fight.
General ' Pershing's brief report
merely stated that the German' artil
lery had dropped a heavy barrage fire
about a sector of the trench, cutting
the men off from help. No explana
tion of the eight casualties and the,
twelve men taken prisoners waS re
ceived. The fact that one wounded
German was captured, howefer, indi
cates, that trench had been rcoccupied
by the American forces.

Former Friend Tried to Steal
Practice, Army Physician Alleges
Dr. William 11. Wick, Omaha
physician, who enlistee) in the medi
cal reserve corps last summer and re
ceived the rank of captain, has filed
an action in district court against Dr.
David A. Medders, alleging that he
left the latter incharge of his X-ray
practice under contract when he. Dr.
Mick, enlisted in theservre of the
country, and that the contract has
been violated by Dr. Medders, who
in his absence has attempted to take
over Captain Mick's practice.
The petition recites that Dr. Mick
previous to hi. enlistment had been
a practicing physician in Omaha for
10 years and had birilt up a $10,000
practice in his X-ray laboratory. He
went to New York for training in
the officers' reserve medical corps
September 18, leaving Dr. Medders in
charge in company with a skilled as
sistant, Miss rreedon, who had been
associated with the work in the
laboratory with Dr. Mrck for some
time.
After a short time, the. petition al
leges, Dr. Medders entered the X-ray
business on his own account ' and
opened up a laboratory a few doors
down the hall in the same building
vyith Dr. Mick's office. He also per
suaded Miss Freedon to leave the for
mer office and go into the new
quarters with him. Further, the pe
tition says, he is persuading Captain
Mick's patients to come to the new
office for treatments. Dr. Mick asks
$10,000 damages. J
