Philip chcidcuumi, loader ni the
majority .socialist party in Germany,
lias undertaken a new and somewhat
mysterious peace mission, according
to advices received from Copenhagen.
It is stated that lie is en route for
Stockholm to carry out the latest
peace scheme ami that his trip to the
Swedish capital has the sanction of
the Kovcrnnietit.
It is considered of some signifi
cance that Herr Schridcm.inn's mis
sion appears to he quite as much a
mystery in Germany as it is in Den
mark. The pan-German newspapers
in Berlin, according to the Copen
hagen dispatch, express a lively hut

State Auditor Smith Makes
Comparison of State's Ex

Lincoln, Dec. 18. (Special. )-Of
seven of the most important western
central states, the per capita cost of
running Nebraska is below any of the
seven except Kansas and below the
average of all the states of the union,
according to figures prepared by State
Auditor Smith.
Of the west and north central group
the average cost per capita was $4.7.',
while Nebraska was $4.0,?. The figures
for total governmental cost and aver
age are as follows:

The figures arc taken from the re

ment of Commerce and show that
while the above group collected in the
period named the sum of $((U'4.V)5.i,
they spent but $51,704,428. As against
this total states of the union collected
$466,940,748, while the payment ex
ceeded the receipts, the total former
being $5in,I34,2,W. In '(. of the stales
the payments exceed the receipts, New
York state showing an excess of $35,
349.717. The per capita cost of government
was greater in Nevada than any other
state, the cost being $12.78. California
stands next, with $11.14, and Arizona
third, with $10.35. Then the high cost
ot government jumps clear across the
country and it is found that Maine
stands fourth with a per capita cost
of $10.
MAY USE OMAHA
GAS PLANT FOR
MAKING TOLUOL
To Construct Buildings Here to
Utilize By-Product of
Gas for Munitions
Purposes.
A toluol plant costing $150,000 h
among the immediate prospects for
Omaha, Toluol is a by-product of
gas plants, and is the base for the
highest and most efficient explosive
known for barrage fire in the war.
The explosive itself is known as tri-nitro-toluol
or T. N. T. It is a com
pound of nitrogen and toluol.
W. H. Taylor, manager of the Oma
ha Gas company, has been in Wash
ington and New York recently with
officials of the War department on the
subject of manufacturing toluol in
Omaha in connection with the manu
facture of gas. If the deal goes
through, the government will con
struct a $150,000 plant adjacent to the
present gas company plant, where
the toluol will be extracted.
Supply Under Contract.
At present America is producing
annually about 11,000,000 gallons of
toluol from the by-product retort
coke ovens, which have increased
rapidly since the war began. This
quantity, however, is under contract
for the supply of our navy and the
allies. At least a year is required for
the construction of a large battery of
by-product ovens. For the new army
the only quickly available source of
toluol is the gas plants. Brigadier '
General William II. Crozicr, chief of
the Bureau of Ordnance, has pointed
this out. Gas plants can be equipped
in two or three months to remove the
toluol from gas.
Thus the equipping of all available
gas plants in the country with plants
for the recovery of toluol is under
contemplation by the War depart
ment. The Omaha gas plant is some
what handicapped, however, by the
fact that Omaha still demands what
Manager W. 11. Taylor designates
as an obsolete standard of gas, which
requires the consumption of most of ,
the toluol. Omaha is requiring the
high candle power standard, while in
most places the candle power is be
ing rapidly eliminated. The great
hulk or gas, at least 90 per cent of
it, nowadays, is used as a heating?
agent instead of a lighting agent, and
consequently the British thermal
unit is displacing the candle power
standard in most places. This leaves
the plant free to extract the toluol
for use in the munition factories.
Switzerland Likes New
Treaty With the U. S.
Berne, Switzerland, Tuesday, Dec.
18. The text of the new commercial
treaty with the I'nited States was
published in Switzerland today and
caused an excellent impression every
where. All the Swiss newspapers ex
press the warmest gratitude of the
Swiss people U President Wilson and
the American government. The Bund
says :
"America has acted toward Swit
zerland as a real friend, indeed."
According to the Bund, the Swiss
grain stocks bad been reduced to
about 6,000 wagons of wheat, so that
without American assistance, Swit
zerland was approaching serious food
difficulties.
