Howeli Attacks Mayor.
F. S. Howell, speaking at several,
meetings last night for the allied can
didates, launched a vitrolic attack
upon Mayor, Dahlman. Doffing his
coat and rolfing up his sleeves at Fif
teenth and Farnam streets, Mr. How
1 ell referred to the World-Herald
ticket as a "Kilkenny ticket" and drew
a picture of Dahlman and Ed P. Smith
working together, as recommended
by Senator Hitchcock's paper. He
marveled at the mental process which
conceived that ticket.
"Dahlman always claimed to be a
good sport," he said,, "and we all love
a good sport. We were always told
that we knew where wi could find
Little Jimmy, The day is past when
Dahlman can insult the decent intel
ligence of Omaha. If Dahlman was
the clean sport that he claimed, he
would not have made cowardly as
. saults upon his political opponents.
"He has been showing wonderful
enthusiasm for a new cause, but his
conversion was not sincere. I don't
blame him for being a wet, because
he was raised a wet, but, like the
new convert, he has transcended the
bounds of reason. Many ex-salon-
Keepers today are not supporting
uamman. iney are tree men now
and they have paid their tribute. Al
most every man who is politically
bad is supporting Dahlman.
"I want to state right here that
either Jjm Dahlman or Ed P. Smith
should be in Leavenworth prison
this 'night. Dahlman would return
his infamous carcass to the city hall
over the body of Ed. P. Smith. His
tttacks were made in political des
peration." i
Would Clean Out Police.
J. Dean Ringer stated that the
"gang" had ruled Omaha, particularly
the police department.
"Orders have been sent through
the city hall and the police depart
ment that I must be beaten" at any
cost because I have had the courage
to throw their lies back into their
" teeth," he said. He urged reclama
tion of the police department.
R. M. Switzler, A. L. Sutton, Tom
' Hollister and others covered a cir-
cuit for the allies
Dahlman Scores Smith.
In his address at Wolk's hall,
Twenty-fourth and Charles streets.
Mayor Dahlman reiterated his
charges against Ed. P. Smith, whom
he accused of favoritism as a mem
ber of the district exemption board.
"Government men will be in Omaha
in a few days to investigate these ex
emption board charges and I will
give them the details of the cases I
have referred to," said the mayor, add
ing: "The government will place these
men in classifications where they be
long and will remove the members
- of the exemption board who were re
sponsible for their exemption." i
The mayor stated that he is willing
to stand on his record of 12 years in
the city hall and did not think it nec
assary to make pledges. He pleaded
for election of the entire Jim Dahl
man ticket.
Hummel Tells of Parks.
Commissioner Hummel told of, his
work as head of the park and boule
vard department. , He feared that if
the allied candidates should be elect
, ed, they would , enforce puritanical
laws.
Other speakers were Commissioner
Parks, Police Judge Madden, Tom P.
Reynolds and Gene O'Sullivan. Isaac
Konesky, chairman, spoke a few
words in behalf of Harry B. Zim
man. The mayor said he could not
say anything against Zimman, who
Jiappeued to be on an opposing ticket
Germany Will Control Trade
By Success Jh
(By AaracUtad Pre.)
Amsterdam, May 6. "The last few
months have brought us successes
which will materially influence the
world's development in the next few
decades," says a telegram sent by Em
peror William, in reply to an address
of homage from a convention of Ger
man chambers of commerce.
"They insure our right to a strong
peace, which will open new roads to
German commerce and give us com
plete freedom for the development of
our industries. Our sacrifices of blood
and treasure shall not be made in

Field Marshal von Hindenburg also
sent a message saying:'
"If all the German people stand

assure fresh prosperity for commerce

with him the hardships, perils and
misery of the hell of war. It is deeper
than the love of kin and it knows no
racial lines nor geographical limita
tions. The British soldier feels it for
the Belgian, the Italian, the French
and the American and all of bis allied
comrades and they reciprocate it
Tribute to Red Cross.
"In the first days of the war there
was little done for the wounded in
comparison to what the wonderful or
ganization of the Red Cross is pre
pared to do today.
"I can remember when one of the
British units had been fighting a rear
guard action. Falling back at the rate
of SO miles per day, the men were
harassed with hunger and thirst
There was water in the trenches, but
it was polluted with the blood and
bodies of the dead. At last they came
to blessed water, fit to drink. They
rushed at it like maddened cattle, but
were stopped by an offier who said the
water was reserved for the wounded,
and British discipline was such that
they went on with raging thirsts un
quenched. Getting Rid of Vermin.
"We regard the Red Cross as our
second line of defense. Once, in the
tretyrhes, where we had held the line
for weeks, our clothes sodden with
dirt' and bodies infested with mil
lions of verminwhose attacks made
us so miserable we were jke a lot
of, maddened brutes, so irritated we
dare not speak to one another for fear
of provoking a tragedy, an officer ap
peared with a mammonth bag. He
commanded us to strip off our filthy,
densely inhabited underclothes and
pile them in a heap and burn them.
"While we were obeying orders be
ripped the big bag open with a bayo
net and invited us all to help our
selves. There, at the time in our
lives when we needed the articles
most, were the luxuries of clean un
derclothing, chewing gum, tobacco,
pocket knives and other things, all
sent at the opportune mornent by the
Red Cross.
: Real Samaritans in War.
"When we got the wounds that
sent us back to 'blighty' to be repair
ed it was worth all of the suffering,
all of the hardships and the perils we
had undergone to get into the hands
of the Red Cross and receive the
gentle, beneficial care of those good
Samaritans.
Rev. Titus Lowe told of the great
work by the American Red Cross in
France, of the wonderful primary
base hospital erected ior the wound
ed, of the skill and self sacrifice of
surgeons and the picked staff of
nurses. '
Address at Brandeis.
Sergeant Baldwin at night at the
Brandeis theater refused to speak
longer than 15 minutes because less
than SO people were out to hear him.
He began his short talk by saying
the people ot Omaha didn't realize a
war was going on.
"You don't know anything about
war," he said, "you rely on a few
French and British and a handful of
Americans to hold the line. If that
line should break and the Huns came
through, then you would know the
meaning of war."
Don't Realize Price.
"Yqu don't realize te price they
are paying. You don't understand
that men are dying hourly for you,"
he cried.
"Perhaps you can realize a little of
the horror of war when I. tell you
that when we first went over the top
we went over UW) strong and we
came back 2S0 strong and only one
officer." Then with a few concluding
sentences about the discouraging
audience he finished his talk
Mr. J. E. Davidson, in closine re
marks explained that Sergeant Bald
win had had a trying day speaking
for the Red Cross and that his talk
had not been sufficiently advertised.
The proceeds of Sergeant Baldwin's
speech will be given to the Red Cross.
F. W. Judson, state Red Cross di
rector, entertained 40 out-of-town
and local guests among the organiza
tion workers last evening at the Om

War, Says Kaiser
war, the newspapers of that country
are emphasizing German dependence
on raw materials controlled by the al
lies, and the consequent necessity of
making the question of raw materials
one of the most important at the
peace negotiations.
Herr Dittman, a former German
consul, advocates playing off the allies
against one another, telling America,
for instance, that it cannot have pot
ash unless supplies of copper and cot
ton are guaranteed to Germanv, and
influencing Australia through Its in
terest in maintaining its German wool
market.
Herr Zimmerman, a well known
colonial enthusiast, in a remarkable
article, goes farther and says fhat the
remedy is a vast colonial empire. "We
shall have to make our deductions
ruthlessly from our military superior
ity after further great events in the
west," says Zimmerman. "Our colonial
demands must not be confined to the
Belgian and French Congo."
WILSON ORDERS
AIRCRAFT GRAFT
CHARGES PROBED
(Continued From rag One.)
The White House, in announcing
President Wilson's action, made
public a telegram received Saturday
from Howard Coffin, former chairman
of the aircraft board, urging an . of
ficial inquiry "that reputations of
innocent men may not be ruined," and
a series of letters and telegrams ex
changed between the President and
Gutzon " Borglum, the sculptor, to
whom is attributed responsibility for
statements that corruption in the
expenditure of funds and pro-German
intrigue has hindered airplane pro
duction. There also was a letter written by
the president t today to Senator
Thomas of Colorado, a member of the
senate military committee, assuring
him that every instrumentality of
the Department of Justice will be used
to pursue charges of dishonesty and
malversation of any kind if Mr.
Borglum's allegations are found
worthy of serious consideration.
Mr. Borglum had a conference to
day with members of the senate mili
tary committee and gave them a list
of witnesses he desires summoned if
the committee reopens its investiga
tion as a result of his disclosures. He
reiterated his assertions that pro
German intrigue and criminal liability
could be established.
Exactly what the Borglum charges
are never has been revealed pub
licly. Whether the senate committee
will consider them has not been de
termined, but a majority oppose
action.1 A meeting will be held in a
few days to settle the question-
Profiteering Charged.
Gutzon Borglum tonight gave out
the text of an open letter to the presi
dent in which he expressed the hope
that the "camouflage deliberately
planned by a group of men entrusted
with a great arm of our military ma
chine has come to an end," but added
that the chart of reconstruction of
the aviation organization filled him
"with definite alarm."
Mr. Borglum said he could hardly
interpret the publicity given his cor
respondence as friendly. In the
course of a long letter he declared

LID CLOSES UPON
CHICAGO CABARETS
Ordinance Now Effective
Which Bars All Forms of
Entertainment Where In
toxicants Are Sold.
Chicago. May 7. With scarcely
flicker of the white lights to mark
their passing every cabaret in the city
officially ended its existence at 1Z:U1
a. m. today.
At this hour the new ordinance di
vorcine intoxicating liquor and enter
tainment and barring dancing and
practically all forms of amusement in
places where intoxicating liquors are
sold went into effect.
Of the 500 cabarets affected a few
closed their doors for good, more de
cided to serve soft drinks and retain
dancing and amusement programs and
the remainder will continue serving
intoxicating liauor and orovide or
chestral music which is permitted by
the payment of a special $300 license
fee.
Many of the larger places, including
several downtown hotels, expect par
tially to evade the provisions by serv
ing liquor in one section of the build
ing and permitting dancing and other
entertainment in another.
Further action along tlese lines was
taken by the council today, when it
abolished for the, duration of the war
the issue of special bar permits to
social organizations. It has been
charged that soldiers and sailors in
uniform obtained intoxicants at these
entertainments.
Ask Rate Cancellation.
Washington, May 6. Western rail

cordials, gin, rum, wine and whisky
between Chicago and St. Louis and
various points in western trunk line
territory.
that the "aero department is full of
profiteering, and that hundreds of
millions have gone" and that when he
began his investigation from an office
in the War department building as
signed to him, his work was syste
matically blocked, to the extent even
of threatening witnesses. He named
in this conection Stanley King, as
signed as an aide to his work, and as
serted that Major General Squier,
chief of the signal corps, "acted in
like manner."
"Every official that I approached
and from whom I had the right to
receive aid and courtesy entered into
a general conspiracy to deceive, to
mislead and to prevent learning the
truth about the aeronautic situation,"
the letter continued. "I do not pre

Remarking that Colonel C. A.
Deeds, an army member of the air
craft board, has said semi-publicly
that 1,200 American planes were fly

that in fact there are less than 20
planes.
Liberty motors were developed for
the purpose of monopolizing the
engine making business in the coun
