Republican Candidate for Gov
ernor Declares Organization's
Program Calculated to In
jure Farmers..
Samuel R. McKelvic, candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor of Nebraska, in a letter to J.
Hull, Ord, Neb., defining his attitude
towards the Nonpartisan League, says
in part:
"First, the league, in my opinion,
is not nonpartisan, but highly partisan
Judged by its principles and plat
form it is a socialistic political party
that is extremely radical in its eco
nomic aims.
j "Second, the program of the league
1 Is intended to injure and retard the
healthy development of farmers co
operative organizations and societies,
Third, 1 have said the league is
radically socialistic in its economic
aims. Bearing upon this point I re
fer to what was attempted in North
Dakota the parent state of the or
ganization.
"With the experiences of Russia as
guide I am surprised that sane, pa
triotic men should for a moment deem
it wise to agitate such a program at
this critical time.
Ownership of Industries.
"furthermore, the national conven
tion of the league at bt raul last
fall declared for public ownership of
the great baste industries such as
mines, timber lands, water power and
failwavs. Surelv. farmers generally
do not indorse-that declaration. If
they do, it meant that they favor ul
timata public ownership of all lands.
"Fourth, my close interest in, and
association wun larming, enaoies me
to say that conditions in this 6tate
do not warrant any such radical leg
islation as the league proposes. Our
legislature, particularly the house of
representatives, has for several years
'included in its membership a very
large number, and in some instances
' an actual majority, of farmers. They
have served their constituents with
wisdom and fidelity and the farming
Interests of the state have not been
allowed to suffer.
"Fifth, the league would, through its
membership and aims, segregate our
voting commonwealth into classes and
would thus array farming against
every other industrial interest. This
I consider very bad, not alone for the
, state as a whole, but for those whom
you seek to make the principal bene
ficiaries of your Utopian plans.
Attitude of League.
"Answering now, that other part of
your interrogation, 'Do you denounce
the league as being disloyal and pro
German?' "If I could answer this question by
referring ;o your membership in this
state, I would say emphatically 'No.'
But I cannot do this. The league
must be viewed as a national organ
ization whose acts are largely subject
to the whims of those who have made
tVipmirlvm rnr in it rnntrnt
Through the indiscretions of those
leader! the league has been subjected
to widespread criticism for its atti
tude toward the war. i
"The statement of the war aims as
published in its- campaign book, and
the effort made to enlist iumort of
the I, W. W. have never been denied1
or repudiated by those in charge of
me league. Ana more recently the
circulation of certain editions of the
league'i official organ in the German
language after the people have over
whelmingly discountenanced the
teaching, or even speaking of Ger
man, was certainly in direct conflict
wita patriotic sentiment if not actu
ally seditious and disloyal.

Bulgaria and Turkey
ree on Division
Of the Spoils of War
Amsterdam, June 23. Differences
nave arisen between Bulgaria and
Turkey over the division of lands
taken from Roumania under the peace
agreement with the central powers,
Dr. Von Kuehlmann, the German for
eign secretary, indicated yesterday in
addressing the reichstag at Berlin up
on the occasion of the first reading of
the Roumanian peace treaty.
"We all take the standpoint," said
the foreign secretary, "that the provi
sional arrangement which we desire
shall continue as short a time as pos
sible, must find its rational solution
in the union of the northern Dobrudjs
with Bulgaria, in accordance with the
desires of the Bulgarian people..
; "As in the present case, it is a mat
te, of difference of opinion between
two of our allies which will be
bridged, we must, bound as we are
by exactly equal ties to Bulgaria and
Turkey, avoid everything which could
evoke the impression abroad that the
German policy favored the claims of
the one at the expense of the other."
Woman Found Guilty

Kalispell, Mont., June 23. Mrs.
Florence Miller of Columbia Falls,
Mont, the first woman in Montana
to be tried on a charge of sedition,

WAR HASTENING
CHURCH UNITY
THROUGHOUT LAND
Rev. Mr. Stein of Opinion That
There Are Too Many Re
ligious Sects in United
States.
That sectarian principles are wrong
and that real religion and morality
tend to bring all Christian churches
to a closer union was the theme of
the sermon preached by Rev. F. S.
Stein, Lincoln, at the first union serv
ice of the First and Central Congre
gational churches, Sunday morning.
"There are 160 different sects in the
United States," said Mr. Stein, "and
that is the shame and the tragedy
of the Christian church. In a radius
of four blocks in Lincoln there are
18 different Christian churches. All
religious differences are errors. There
are no sectarian principles in ine
realm of truth."
War Hastens Church Unity.
"All churches, both Catholic and
Frotestant, have all the essentials of
a Christian church and the war is
hastening church unity. Our boys
'over .there' are learning the real spirit
of Christ. There will be broader
principles and . more human fellow
shio after the war. .
The church is the most potenttial
factor in our national life. Ruskin
called cathedrals 'bibles.'
. .''Napoleon said, 'religion and. mor
ality are' the "props of human happi
ness.'f. ?, ...... . ,-
The church was crowded to ca
pacity and a feeling of good fellow
ship permeated the meeting. The
new merged church now has almost
900. members. Rev. G. A. Hulbert.
former pastor of the Central Congre
gational chruch, has accepted a call
from the church of the King's High
way, Presbyterian church, St. Louis,

the same distance at San Dona, for
which they paid a terrible price.
"The poison gas attack by the Aus-
trians has been a complete failure.
On one small sector 500 enemy gas
shells were exploded but caused no
discomfort. The mountain winds
quickly carried awa;' the gas, its only
evidence remaining in the discolora
tion of Vegetation. Several of these
poisonous shells exploded on the side
of Monte Grappa and: damaged an
American Red Cross house built there
in a space known locally as "Wilson
Square." ,. .
A large part of the Austro-Hun-
ganan casualties estimated by Ital
ian military omctals at. 180.000 and
probably more, were due to the fact
that in the eary bouts preceding the
assault a week ago the Italians antici
pated the Austrian fire by turning
artillery fire upon troops concentrat

Austrian official communication is
sued today says:
I he fighting on the Piave was
less violent yesterday and only on the
southern wing of our army front did
the enemy resume the offensive. Else
where there were artillery duels. i
The heavy rains which have de
scended in downpours daily during the
last week in Venetia and which have
placed under water broad stretches
of the plain have multiplied the bur
dens of the troops and the privations
of warfare." ' -
"The Piave has become a rushing
stream and its volumes of water have
many times made it impossible for
several hours to communicate between
the two banks. It is only possible
with the greatest effort to provide the
fighting men at the. front with the
most necessary supplies of munitions
and provisions. All the greater, there-
tore, is the .recognition due to the
brave trOons whose fiehtinsr force
has been unimpaired even by such a
difficult situation." ;

Claims Signal Obscured.
Kalamazoo, Mich., June 23. "I sup
posed that the track was clear," said
Engineer Sargent of the troop train
that crashed into the circus coaches
here tonight in discussing the wreck.
"The semaphore half a mile distant
from the scene of the wreck had
been obscured when I passed, by
steam from another engine. It was
the only danger signal that I passed.
"When I saw the train ahead, I
supposed it was a freight, and that
it would move rapidly enough to keep
out of my way. Instead the circus
train stopped to make a siding. My
train came up on it before I realized
the danger. Even as I struck the
rear end of the train I did not realize
the possibility of a serious crash. I
had slowed down as much as I could,
but I did not jump, because I thought
I would hit lightly. Instead my en
gine crashed through three cars."
Sargent is 52 years old and has been
employed by the Michigan Central
as an engineer for 28 years.

New England Goes Way "Over
Top" in Drive for Red Cross
Boston, June 23. While dtailed fig
ures are unavoidably delayed, it is
now certain that New England's con
tribution to the Red Cross war fund
is greatly in excess of its quota.
One of the significant phases is the
response of the factory employes of
Boston and other New England in
dustrial centers, such as the Gillette
Safety Razor company, the largest
razor manufacturing plant in the
world, producing 20,000 Gillette safety
razors and more than 35 miles of
blades every day. Every one of the
Gillette employes contributed, to a
total of $3,773, besides $50,000 contri
buted by the company. The Gillette
employes also subscribed $70,000 to
the third Liberty loan and the com
pany $300,000.
As one of the Gillette employes put
it to a Red Cross collector: "When
you've seen nearly 80 of your shop
mates leave good jobs to go over with
the old flag you've just got to back
'em up, that's all I"
ing activities. All children from 4 to
14 years of age are welcome. An ef
fort is now being made to start the
work among the negro people.
Mrs. Frank Burkhardt. 3108 Marcy
street, is in receipt of a letter from
her nephew, Arthur Smith of Florida,
who is now at the front, in which he
speaks of the splendid work being
done among the soldiers by the Sal
vation army. He says that not enough
is known of this organization. Ensign
Walter Grantham of the Industrial
borne states that the army has 50,000
workers now at the front, either as
fighters, canteen workers or in other
capacities.
Fifteen babies were weighed, meas
ured and looked over generally by the
visiting nurses at the Lane school
last Thursday. The number of babies
brought is constantly on the increase
at the different stations. At first some
of the foreign speaking mothers had
the impression that the babies would
be taken away from them, but they
are gradually learning "that the nurses
only want to help them care for their
little ones and are glad to get the
assistance offered.
ALASKA CALLS FOR
MEN AT GOOD WAGES
So Many Called by Lure
War That Help Is Needed
To Run Many In
dustries. Alaska is appealing to the states
for help. So many men have left
the northern territory in answer to
the call of war and the lure of high
wages on the outside that its mines,
fisheries and other industries will be
crippled, territorial officials assert,
if others do not go north at once to
take their places.
"Out of a white population of 50,.
000 over 6,000 have left to enter war
work and service, Thomas Riggs
Jr., governor of Alaska, asserted in
a proclamation recently. "At the
same time the mines, fisheries and
airplane spruce industries are asked
to speed up. To speed up, we need
men.
Governor Riggs said 500 men were
needed at once m Juneau mines and
fisheries and 500 more in the fish
canneries of southwestern Alaska and
other sections.
"Juneau is dying for want of men,"
Bart L. Thane of the Alaska Gasti
neau Mining corporation of Juneau
asserted here recently. Mr. Inane
has been successful in his efforts' to
induce a number of University of
Washington students to spend their
vacations working m the north.
From southwestern Alaska, where
the United States government i
building the Seward -Anchorage
Fairbanks railroad, the same call has
come. "There is immediate need of
additional workers," read a dispatch
trom Anchorage recently.
"Throughout the summer and the
early fall the demand for workers
will exceed the supply in Seward and
Anchorage, Fred Lillyman, supenn
tendent of the employment bureau
ot the Alaska Engineering commis
sion asserted recently.
Reduced passenger fares north
steady cmployement and good wages
are ottered to men who ko north
Governor Riggs, in his proclamation
said miners doing contract work
could make from $5 to $12 per day
HPt T? .
ine E-ngineering commission pays

The Alaska territorial government
1 i
nas opened a iaDor agency in
Seattle in the hope that it will be
able to send, workers north.
Once the war is over, Alaska hopes
to see an influx of returned soldiers
Plans are being made now to induce
soldiers to go north and take up
land.

More Than 550,000 Men
At Work in Shipyards
(Correspondence Associated Press.)
Washington, June 19. Less than a
year ago there were not 45,000 men
employed in American shipyards. To
day there are more than 300,000
skilled mechanics and laborers en
gaged in building ships, and an addi
tional 250,000 employed in making the
engines, boilers, winches and other
machinery necessary to equip them.
I his, tremendous expansion, by
which the United States hopes to
put into service a new merchant ma
rine that will rival the trading fleet of
any nation in the world, has been ac
complished in methodical fashion,
without any fuss and feathers, but
achieving a result that industry long
will regard as one of the most bril
liant victories of the war. It has
been brought about by the shipping
board through recognition of the
principle that untrained men can be
come skilled workmen only through
competent instruction.
The training of the various kinds of
shipbuilders in the yards is accom
plished by putting the men to work
on production jobs, under the super
vision of a yard instructor.

For example, glass eyes for
wounded men, heretofore came ex
clusively from glass made !n Ger
many. The section of surgery of the
head in his office, General Gorgas
said, has solved the problem of do
mestice production of glass for arti
ficial goggles for aviators. This same
department has specialized in surgi
cal work on the jaws, succeeding in
repairing injuries which hitherto have
been considered hopeless .
Special War Problems,
More than a dozen- other depart
ments of the surgeon general's office
are working each on its own special
type of war problem. The total of
work they handle, he said, is im
mense. iince the declaration of war
the surgeon general's office in Wash
ington has expanded ten-fold in 10
months. The present organization
comprises a little less than 1,500 per
sons. It handles more than 150,000
pieces of mail and 9,500 telegrams
monthly.
Ine medical corps of the United
States army," the surgeon general
said, "has an organization adaptable
to every contemplated expansion of
the line, and when our entire forces
are in the field it will be in a position
to do what the allied forces accom
plished only after a long period of
trial and error. Reports from the
western front indicate that our medi
cal department in the field is fully up
to the mark. Ine parents and re a-
tives of our soldiers may feel assured
that the medical corps has done all
that is possible for their welfare."
School of Nursing.
One activity, the benefits of which
General Gorgas believes will outlast
the war, is the newly established
army school of nursing. He estima
ted that by 1919 the United States
army would need 30,000 nurses. The
army school has been created with
headquarters in the surgeon generals
office, and branch training schools
in variously selected military hos
pitals throughout the United States.
Applicants must be between 21 and 35
years of age, with the equivalent of
a high school education. If the war
lasts three years, the surgeon general
estimated the pupils of these schools
will be in fact trained "nurses. After
the war each will receive a certificate
Take Plenty of Time
TO
If you eat too rapidly you are most likely troubled with
indigestion and constipation. Eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly. Then when you feel dull and stupid after
eating, which shows that you have eaten more than you
should, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets to aid digestion.

We already have explained that these advances in
price are compelled by the greatly increased cost of i
manufacture, and represent only a portion of thatj
additional cost Further advances may be compelled j
in the near future, and there even may be a serious
shortage of Nemo Corsets because of our inability tbl
secure a supply of materialsof the NEMO STANDARD!

"Many," said the surgeon .jeneral,
"who have no intention at the time
of entrance of following nursing as
a profession, will elect to do so as a
means of rendering efficient patriotic
