Lincoln's Captain Important Man. Lincoln seems to have organized its. team around Moore, the captain. A powerful runner and a good kicker, his presence in the lineup is an ab solute essential. The only thing that made Lincoln a comparatively easy victim to East Des Moines, was the absence of the captain from the game. The big back field man jumped into the game after the visitors had scored and the team's defensive took a de cided jump. The captain was absent in the second and third periods, but went back in the last quarter and put up a. fight that gave the Lincoln lads all the best of it. Lamb, Cyprehenson and Roberts are shining lights on the Red and Black team. Line plunges are Lincoln's standby. Forward passes have been proving of little value in advancing the ball, only three out of nine working in the last battle, and those for less than five yards each. ' Prospects seem bright for the local eleven, but Lincoln is reported as be ing able to match the boys from the school on the hill in every particular. Central High is ringing with the slo gan, 'Remember 56," Omaha's cry for revenge for the 56 points by which she was beaten two years ago.i GERMANY!! DEMOCRACY, IS LATESTFOE ALIBI (Continued From Pt On.) cause of the unfavorable impression that would be made abroad if the current attempt failed to succeed., "Dr. von Keuhlmann is desirous that the outside world should know that a newf political era has set in Ger manythat his intercession was not in vain, as it was decided to take par liamentarians into responsible posi tions.l continued Herr Errberger. Kaiser Approves. "I desire to say," concluded the centrist leader, "that not only are the majority leaders and Chancellor von Hertling in complete working har mony in foreign and domestic issues, but that the pact has the full sanc tion of the emperor, who has given Count von Herding a free hand." The clerical party now has the chancellor and the progressives, in all probability, will be awarded the j post of vice chancellor and one other important secretaryship, while the national-liberals will be represehted In the vice presidency of the Prus sian cabinet , Socialists Promise Support Copenhagen, Nov. 6. In an address Sunday at Elbing, West Prussia, Phil ipp Scheidemann, the German social ist leader, said his party would sup port the new German government if it kept its promises, including those , for equal rights in Prussia, abolition of political censorship and concessions to labor. The support of the social ists also was conditioned, he said, on the carrying out by the government of a clear and firm foreign policy in furtherance of everything compatible with Germany's honor and future for the attainment of a speedy and lasting peace. Otherwise, said Herr Scheide mann, the socialists would fight the new government as they had fought the Michaelis regime. Once equal rights in Prussia were granted and control f the Reichstag majority over the makeup of the gov ernment and its policy were estab lisheddevelopments which were springing into being before their eyes there would be no excuse, Herr Scheidemann declared, for refusing to negotiate peace with Germany on the pretext that it was ruled autocrati cally. . Policy in the Far East Settled By Lansing and Ishii (Coatlno.d From Pag One.) torial propinquity creates special rela tions between countries, and, conse quently, the government of the United States recognizes that Japan has spe cial interests in China, particularly in the part to which her possessions are contiguous. " The territorial sovereignty of China nevertheless remains unim paired and the government of the United States has every confidence in the repeated assurances of the impe rial Japanese government that, while geographical position gives Japan such special interests, they have no , desire to discriminate against the trade of other nations or to disregard the commercial rights heretofore granted by China in treaties with other powers. "The governments of the United States and Japan deny that they have any purpose to infringe in any way the independence or territorial integ rity of China, and they declare, fur thermore, that they always adhere to the principle of the so-called "open door' or eqxkl opportunity for com merce and industry in China. No Special Privileges. ""Moreover, they naturally declare that they are opposed to the acquisi tion by any government of any special rights. or privileges that would affect the independence or territorial integ rity of China or that would deny to the subjects or citizens of any country the full enjoyment of equal opportun ity in the commerce and industry of China. " 'I shall be shA to have your ex cellcncv confirm this understanding of the agreement reached bv us. "'Accept, excellency, the renewed assurance ot my nignest considera tion. (Signed) '"ROBERT LANSING "'His Excellency, "'Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, "'Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan, on Special Mission.' Understanding Reached. "'Washington, Nov. 2, 1917. "'Sir: " 'I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of today, communicating to me your under standing of the agreement reached by us in our recent conversations touching the question of mutual in terest to our governments relating to the republic of China. " 'I am happy to be able to confirm to you, under authorization of my government, the understanding in question set forth in the following terms: (Here the special ambassador re peats the language of the agreement as given in Secretary Lansing's note.) (Signed) K. ISHII, " 'Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan on Special Mission. "'Honorable Robert Lansing, "'Secretary of State.'" In this statement accompanying the announcement Secretary Lansing said: "Viscount Ishii and the other Japanese commissioners who are now on their way back to their country have performed a service to the United States as well as to Japan which is of the highest value. "There had unquestionably been growing up between the peoples of the two countries, a feeling of sus picion as to the motives inducing the activities of the other in the far east, a feeling which, if unchecked, promised to develop a serious situa tion. Rumors and reports of im proper intentions were increasing and were more and more believed. Legiti mate commercial and industrial en terprises without ulterior motive were presumed to have political signifi cance, with the result that opposition to those enterprises were aroused in the other country." Germans Spread Lies. "The attitude of contraint and doubt thus created was fostered and encouraged by the campaign of false hood which for a long time had been adroitly and secretly carried on by uermans, whose government as part of its foreign policy desired especially to so alienate this country and Japan that it would e at the chosen time no difficult task to cause a rupture of their good iclations. Unfortunately there were people in both countries, many of whom were entirely honest in their beliefs, who accepted every fabe rumor as true, and aided the German propa ganda by declaring that their own government should nretare for the conflict, which they asserted was in evitable, that the interest- of the two nations in the far east were "hostile, and that every activity of the other country in the Pacific hid a sinister purpose. fortunately this d.strust was not so general in either the United States or Japan as to affect Jthe friendly re lations of the two governments, but there is no doubt that the feeling of suspicion was increasing and the un true reports wjere receiving more and more credence in spite of the earnest efforts which were made on both sids of the Facfic to counteract a movement which would jeopardize the ancient friendship of the two na tions. Commission Brings Results. "The visit of Viscount Ishii and his colleagues has accomplished a great change of opinion in this country. Ity frankly denouncing the evil influences which have been at work by openly proclaiming that the policy of Japan is. not one of aggression and by de claring that there is no intention to take advantage commercially or indus trially of the special relations to China created by geographical position the representatives of Japan have cleared the diplomatic atmosphere of the sus picions which have been so carefully spread by our enemies and by mis guided or overtealous people in both countries, in a lew aays tne propa ganda of years has been undone and both nations are now able to see how near they came to being led into the trap wjjich had been skillfully set for itICIll. "Throughout the conferences which have taken place Viscount Ishii has shown a sincerity and candor which dispelled every doubt as to his purpose and brought the two governments into an attitude ot confidence toward each other which made it possible to dis cuss every question with frankness and cordiality. Approaching the subjects in such a spirit and with the mutual desire to remove every possible cause of con troversy, the negotiations were marked by a sincerity and good will which from the first insured their suc cess. Agreement Made Possible. "The principal result of the nego tiations was the mutual understand ing which was reached as to the prin ciples governing the policies of the two governments in relation to China. This understanding is formally set forth in the notes exchanged and now made public. The statements in tlve notes require no explanation. "They not only contain a reaffirma tion of the 'open-door' policy, but in troduce a principle of non-interference with the sovereignty and terri torial integrity of China, which, gen erally appnea, is essential to perpetual international peace as clearly declared by President Wilson, and which is the very foundation also of Pan-Ameri c.nism as interpreted by his govern ment. "The removal of doubts and sus picions and the mutual declaration of the new doctrine as to the far east Would be enough to make the visit of the Japanese commission to the United States historic and memorable, but it accomplished a further pur pose, which is of special interest to the world at this time, in expressing Japan's earnest desire to with this country in waging war againsi ine uerman government Both Countries Sincere. "The discussions, which covered the military, naval and economic ac tivities to be employed with due re card to relative resources and ahilitv showed the same spirit of sincerity ana candor which characterized the negotiations resulting in the exchange oi notes. "At the nreen ' time ? it tner. pedient to make public the details of these conversations, but it niay be said that this government has been gratified by the assertions of Viscount Ishii and his colleagues that their government desired to do their part in the suppression of Prussian mili tarism and were eager to co-operate in every practical way to that end. "It might be added, however, that complete ana satisfactory understand ings upon the matter of naval co-operation in the Pacific for the purpose of attaining the common object against Germany and her allies have been reached between the representa tive of the imperial Japanese navy, who is attached to the special mission of Japan, and the representative of the United States navy. Ishii Accomplishes Much. "It is only just to say th,at the suc cess which has attended tne inter course of the Japanese commission with American officials and with pri vate persons as well, is due in large measure to the personality of Vis count Ishii, the head of the mission. The natural reserve and hesitation, which are not unusual in negotiations of a delicate nature, disappeared un der the influence of his open friend liness, while his frankness won the confidence and good will of all. It is doubtful if a representative of a'dif ferent temper could in so short a time have done as much as viscount isnii to place on a better and firmer basis the relations between the United States and Japan. "Through him the American peo pie have gained a new and higher conception of the reality of Japan's friendship for the United Mates which will be mutually beneficial in the future. I "Viscount Ishii will be remem bered iii this country as a statesman of high attainments, as a diplomat with a true vision of international af fairs and as a genuine and outspoken friend of America. No American principle has been sacrificed in this agreement, in the opinion of the officials, as the United States government itself in the cases of Mexico. Cuba and oUier American republics and in the Mon roe doctrine itself, has been toremost in the assertion of the doctrine of special privileges by reason of the geographic and economic relations. Japan has special interests of a semi-political nature in Shantung, which province she wrested from Germany early in the present war, by reason of its vicinity to Port Arthur, to Korea and to the Japanese islands. Also the prosperity of the great island of Formosa and its successful admin istration by Japan is largely depend ent upon conditions in the Chinese Erovince of Fu-Kien, separated only y a narrow strait. Japanese Railways Perfected. Japanese railway concessions In Manchuria also are regarded as proper objects of special Japanese in terest, not to detail largely privately owned Japanese business enterprises in China proper. The vital impor tance to Japan of the maintenance in China of a strong government ca pable of affording protection against internal violence and against the in sidious efforts of hostile foreign in trigue for such Japanese interests is freely admitted by American officials, hence the willingness to consum mate this agreement. Though only hinted at in Secre tary Lansing's statement, it is known that the Germans had calculated to weaken the American campaign against Germany in Europe by oblig ing the Washington government to keep at home a large section of the United States army and to maintain in Pacific waters a numerous Ameri can naval fleet to guard against an in vasion from Japan. Now it is believed that the United States not only can deal with its prosecution of the war with a freer hand, but that Japan will be able greatly to augment the efforts she has been making to sweep the Pacific and Indian oceans clear of German raiders; to aid the allied navies in the Mediterranean and possibly even to tmploy Japanese troops in the cam paign against Germany. quartesr company and sanitary de tarnmpnt.

HYLAN WINS NEW YORK MAYORALTY RACE BY 100,000 (Continued From Tag One.) issued statements claiming victory. The fusion party predicted that Mayor John Purroy Mitchel would be re-elected by a plurality of at least 50,000; Tammany hall claimed that County Judge John F. Hylan, demo crat, would be elected by 70,000 plu rality; ex-State Senator William M. Bennett, the republican nominee, who defeated Mayor Mitcbel at the pri maries, asserted he would get 275,000 votes and Morris Hillquit, the wealthy candidate of the socialist party, was certain that he would poll 230,000 votes. Mayor Mitchel, in his final word to the voters, said: "Today we prove our right to keep H - 4 VwJ 1 hitCf -i j, v7i if h jLj. : the American flag over city hall. Hy lan shall not tear it down. Hillquit shall not staiq it with surrender." Judge Hylan reiterated his charges that Mayor Mitchel's backers tried to "steal" the primary and charged that "the are planning to make another attempt in the election booths.' Morris Hillquit, wTio announced that he would not buy Liberty bonds, claimed that the issues were a hu manized city government, the preser vation of a democratic institution and an early, rational and durable world peace. lix-senator bennett said the voters had been aroused by a "culminating pi the long series of fraudulent and criminal acts by the Mitchel men. The police department has applied for hundreds of warrants for false and irregular registration and they have been issued to guard against fraud at the polls.
