World headquarters marked the call
ing of a convention.
Delegates who arrived early stood
around in a room, smoking corncob
pipes and discussing the high cost of
eating and traveling. ,

Von Tirpitz Demands That
Germany Annex Belgium
'.-.Amsterdam, jov, a meet
ing of the new fatherland party in
Munich yesterday Admiral von Tir
. pitz, former German minister of ma
rine, made a violent annexationist
speech. He said the .question wheth-
er, Germany or England became the
' protector of Belgium would be the
decisive issue of the war.,
"A mistaken solution of the Bel
gian question would stunt our ex
ports and the reserve capital of our
industry and degrade us to being
bond slaves of Anglo-Americanism,"
said the admiral. "Our military se-
curity lies in Belgium, It is the only
' way of obtaining compensation for
our enormous economic losses."
The admiral added that it was a
mistake to believe the submarine
would prove sufficient , protection
against Great Britain, as some effec
tive counter weapon was bound to
be discovered. He declared Germany
must have Antwerp, that Austria,
must become the principal protecting
power of the mouth of the Danube
and that Germany was interested in
tne settlement ot me Aarjatic ques
tion. ' i,"' -..; '' - '. : .
"Germany's struggl,,y added, "is
a terrific battle against the all-devouring
tyranny of Anglo-Americanism."

Lincoln, Nov. 12. (Special.)
Seventy-five or 80 per cent of the
normal acreage of winter wheat has
been sown, according to a survey of
the state made by the State Council
of Defense.
To get back to the normal condition
it will be necessary for the farmers to
increase the acreage of spring wheat
to cover the falling off in winter
wheat, according to the council. This
can easily be done because there is
so much corn that the fields will be
in shape for the spring sowing.
In order to insure the acreage
wanted the council urges those con
templating the sowing of wheat in
the spring to obtain their seed wheat
as soon as possible so there will be
no danger but that they will have it
when the sowing time comes. The
council hopes it will have the hearty
co-operation of the farmers, elevators
and mills to help secure the necessary
seeding. The needs of the, nation
require it.
Farmers who have not the seed and
those who do have seed for sale may
communicate with the State Council
of Defense making their wants known
and assistance will be given in lo
cating buyers or sellers as the case
maybe.

COMMISSIONER KERR SAYS
"As Health Commissioner of the City of Chicago, I
wai importuned many times to recommend different
medicines, mineral waters, etc. Never yet have I gone
on record as favoring; any particular remedy, but I feel
that in Nuxated Iron an exception should be made to
the rule. I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and ex
perienced its health-srivintt, strength-building; effect,
and in the interests of the public welfare, I feel it my
duty to make known the results of its use. I am well
past my three-score years and want to say that I be
lieve that my own great physical activity is due
largely today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron, and
if my endorsement shall induce anaemic, nervous, run
down men and women to take Nuxated Iron, and re
ceive the wonderful tonic benefits which I have receiv
ed, I shall feel greatly gratified that I made an excep
tion to ray life-long rule in recommending it. From my
own experience with Nuxated Iron, I feel that it is such
a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every
hospital and prescribed by every physician in this
country,"
