London, May 5. "There
east dozen different c
are
crises
Austria today," wrote one of the best
informed English correspondents yes.
tcrday. ."All these crises appear to
concentrate on the problem of food.
Even the radical animosities of the
composite empire, which have always
been the weak timber of its struc
ture, have been inflamed into unusual
bitterness by sectional jealousies
over food distribution. '
"These crises appear ' to have
reached a culmination in the govern
ment's decision o prorogue parlia

help, but only hinder, in the solving
of economic - problems oft which
everything depends, in the words of a

Autocracy at the Helm.
"Parliamentary government, or
rtthcr, parliamentary debates, are to
be suppressed indefinitely and an
autotratiV' government will try to
hold the helm. , . . ,
- "For two months past the exaspera
tion between the Slavonic sections
cf the Austrian population and the
other raceshas been at the highest
" point of tetfsion. The Germans have
been bullying Premier von Seydler
t.'ith incnUnre which reached its
rlimait in the Veauest that tne Aus
trian frontier populations of German
race should, for food supply purposes,
be annexed to Germany. Probably
. nnthincr more significant of the depth
of the oresent crises has occurred
. than the fact that the Austrian gov
ernment felt compelled to yield com
pletely on this poirft. To many poli
tician this yielding of the food ad
ministration in Bohemia and Tyrol
must seem a distinct step toward the
breaking up of the Austrian empire."
. . Famine and Pestilence.
Some terrible pictures of the food
situation ki Bohemia have reached the
.outside worlds through the, corres
pondent of the Vienna Arbeiter Zei
tung, socialist, who accompanied the
emperor into these districts. He
wrote: . "Every where the emperor was
met by" deputations who described to
him dreadful scaracity of food and
starvation suffered by the populace.
At Schluckenau a deputation stated
that SO. per cent of the population
was 'underfed and a large proportion
of the people- were unfit for work.
There is a great deal of hunger,
typhus and tuberculosis." 1

that several newspapers are skeptical

Betlin Tageblatt says the principal
reason for the adjournment of par-

to create a base for the formation of
t majority and the crowns desire
to avoid debates on the emperor's

When He Starts Wave o f
Bond Buying at Theater
Washington, ' May 5. President
Wilson received a great'demonstra-
t. . last night at a local theater
when a four-minute speaker an
nounced that he had bought still an
other bond, this time' one for $500.
Last Wednesday when the presi
dent agreed to sponsor the "match
the president" movement y buying
a $50 bond on the installment plan,
after previously subscribing for
nearly $20,000, it was believed he
had reached his maximum effort.
Last night a man in the audience
announced that he would buy a $5,
000 bond if 10 others would sub
scribed for one $500 bond each. Eight
persons quickly met the challenge;
then there was a pause. The president
from, his box, beckened to an usher
and told him to inform the speaker
that he would take one of the bonds.
The announcement started a wave
of .buying that extended even to the
"horus, every member of the com
pany purchasing a bond and swell
ing the night's total at the theater
to more than $100,000. ,

Moscow. May S. Nicholas Roman
off, the former emperor, together with
the former empress and one of their
daughters, has been transferred from
Tobolsk to Ekaterinburg. (170 miles
southeast of Perm on the Asiatic
side of the Ural mountains), accord
ing to a Soviet announcemtnt. The
transfer was ordered because of the
alleged efforts of peasants and mon
archists in the neighborhood of To
bolsk to promota the escape of the
prisoners.

Rumors Unconfirmed.
From Scandanavian sources there
came reports late last, month of se
rious rioting in Petrograd and that
the young Alexis had been pro
claimed, emperor, with Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch as regent.
Qther advices from. Russia have con
tained nothing to confirm these re
ports, and it is announced in the
British House of Commons that the
foreign office was without official con
firmation of the report of a counter-
revolutionary movement in Petro
grad.
The reports were ascribed in some
quarters to German inspirationxand, in
fact, on May 2 they were revived in
Vienna. Meanwhile the German foreign-office
had manifested keen in
terest in the rumors and instructed the
German representatives in Russia to
make inquiries regarding tnem.
Ihee. whereabouts of; the former
heir to the throne was not indicated
in any of the reports.
The former emperor and his family
have been prisoners at Tobolsk, in
western Siberia, since last August.
; Germany Carrying on Peace4
Propaganda in Switzerland
Geneva, Switzerland, May 5. Ger
many's new "peace offensive" which:
was launchei in Switzerland a week
ago seems to be directed principally
against English and American resi
dents and viuifors, whose ?etttr hoxes
are overflowing with pamphlets.
One typical instance of the propa
ganda is that the Lichnowsky revela
tions regarding events leading up to
the war, published by a Zurich
firm and which have been bought by
the wholesale, have been tollcwed by
a distorted Germanophile version
which is distributed gratutitously.

New York. May 5. While the U-

address here today.
"Our fleet is patrolhnar the north

we can say is that we have reached
such a point that the U-boat dangy
ought to decrease from this time on.
We cannot say that the submarine is

Round of Meetings Tonight.

Harry B. Zimman and other mem
bers of the allied candidates ad
dressed a meeting yesterday after
noon in the, Swedish 'auditorium,
under the auspices of the Harry B.
Zimman for Commissioner club. Ed
ward Simon spoke also in behalf ot
Thomas Falconer. In a conversation
alter the meeting Mr. Zimman stated
that he expected tfi be witnm tne
first three of '.hose wlfb will be elected.
He snoke last nieht in Wolks hall.
Twenty-fourth and Charles streets.
Mayor Dahlman and associates
covered a circuit of Sunday meetings
and are scheduled to appear tonight
in Wolk's hall. Twenty-fourth and
Charles street; also at Twenty-fourth
and Bancroft streets and at Thirty
third and L streets. The allied can
didates will hold a meeting tonight in
Alamo hall, Twenty-fourth and Grant
streets-.
W. F. Baxter, chairman of the al
lied candidates, offerecTthis statement:
"The only danger to the success of
our ticket is that some of the voters
may neglect to vote. In the past
many have forgotten to vote, or have
been too busy or deterred by unfavor
able weather. These careless or
neglectful voters hold the balance of
power. When they tail to vote, the
machine scores because the" machine,
with its thorough organization, gets
every one ft its voters to tne rolls,
regardless of the weather or anything
else. Every man's most important
duty of Tuesday will be to vote."
Addressing a meeting in Columbia
hall. Twenty-second and Pierce
streets, yesterday afternoon, W. G.
Ure said: "We have been kept busy
answering the lies that have been
promulgated. They have tried to be
smirch the exemption boards and the
Red Cross. They tried to fool the
people into .believing we would close
the movies and base ball on Sunday,
when they'know very well that these
activities are legal and that city com
missioners could not stop them even
if inclined to do so. We believe that
all patriotic men will rebuke these
political attacks on candidates who
have given unselfishly of their services
to the government at this ' critical
time."
Mr. Zimman told of some of his
struggles as a city councilman to win
the people s battles. He related his
championship of the occupation tax
ordinance and of the terminated tax
fight.
Ed P. Smith charged the opposition
with circulating "innumerable false
hoods," and declared he would not
stoop to that form of campaigning.
Mayor Dahlman last night gave
out the following statement:
"An attempt has been made to
deceive, the, public, with reference to
th? charges which Ihave ,niade
against Ed.. P. Smith in his connec
tion with the district exemption
board. In this matter, Mr. Smith and
his political supporters have attempt
ed to justify him by asserting that I
have not proven the charges. The
answer to this is that I have filed
the'eharges with the propei1 authori
ty and sha.ll submit the evidence to
the proper tribunal when directed. . 7
"This is a matter which, in fairness
to the tribunal which must try the
charges and to Mr. Smith himself,
cannot and should not be tried
through the columes of the news
papers, nor on. the street coners, be
fore the evidence is submitted to that
tribunal. '
"The evidence which I have is not
a conclusion or a mere inference; but
is documentary evidence.

I will state this much of what the
documents of the record show. In
one of the cases which I referred to,
deferred classification was granted
through the efforts of Mr. Smith,
after the district Board had decided
"no cause" for deferred classification.
In this case, the registrant asked for
deferred classification "On the ground
of being an expert sotatoe sorter,
and in his affidavit in Cupport of such
claim, the registrant swore that 'he
could be replaced in this work by
his father, if he were called into the
service. The. record shows that this
man is the son of the man who is
part owner of a wholesale produce
company, irl which the registrant is
employed; yet, through Mr. Smith's
efforts, thiVman was given a deferred
classification. '
"This is some of the evidence In
one of the cases to which I referred.
In each of. the instances, the docu
ments will sustain my charges.
"I offer this much, only to show
that his statements have not been
made without proof to substantiate
ihem." .

The Easiest Way
To End dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get j.bout
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten, the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning mOst, if not all, of your
dandruff will be 'gone, and three .or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly and your' hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get ' liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been known to
fail

medicine is rapirjly spreading.over the
entire state.
The Richardson Drug Company;
wholesale distributors for Nebraska,
have just placed a rush order for
their second carload, comprising 12,
720 bottles, making a total of over
25,000 bottles ordered by this well-
known firm since its introduction here
in March.
Such a demand is absolutely with
out precedent, and it is now an as
sured fact that Tanlac will become
just as popular in Omaha and
throughout the West as it is in the
Southern and Eastern states, where
approximately 9,000,000 bottles , have
been sold during the past three years.
These enormous safes mean but one
thing, and that is m"rjt. Tanlac is
well advertised, it is true, but such
a large and rapidly growing demand
could not be brought about by adver
tising alone. It's what the neighbors
say that counts. One bottle is sold in
a neighborhood through advertising
but ten more are sold in a commun
ity after that first bottle produces re
sults. Not a day or week passes that does .
not bring hundreds of statements
from the people concerning the good
this medicine is doing and reciting
the circumstances of remarkable
cases that would convince the most
skeptical.
Since the original announcement
was made that Tanlac would be ;
placed on sale in every city, town,
village and hamlet in the state of
Nebraska, the following well-known
drug firms have been awarded the
agencies in their respective towns
and are reporting record-breaking
sales. In the neighboring city of Lin
coln alone over 3,000 bottles have I
been sold within the past seven.
weeks, and correspondingly large
sales in the smaller cities and townsr
