in the; Wst,' three weeks in northern
Russia and .that the Germans shortly
will begin an offensive against the
southern part of the Murman railway.
1The" Finnish "population now is in
tensely hostile to the Germans. There
is a great shortage" of food and the
people are entirely dependent on the
entente for .sustenance. Both the
government and the army, however,
are completely under German con-

Of -undertaking an offensive probably
does not exceed 30,000 men.

Temperance Drink
Not Strong Enough ,
' For Sherry Pirates
"I gave them some Te-to to drink,
but that wasn't enough, they had to
break into my booze chest and drink
up all of my fine sherry" is the plaint
which James If. Davies, 1714 South
Thirty-second avenue, of the Western
Railway Labor agency, deliveredi to
the police Thursday evening against
two coal teamsters of the 12. E.
Howell fl Son Coal company.
Davies left the . two teamsters,
Louis Albright. 2521 South Twenty
k first street, and A. D. Kirkland, 1214
South Fourth street, hauling the coal
into his basement early in-the after
noon, while he went down town.
In his absence his fine stock of im-
.ported sherries, high-grade bitters
r and cordials and select wines' was
sadly depleted. Empty bottles were
stuck in recesses in the coal bin. The
neck of one ornamented sherry de
. canter was sticking from pile of
soft coal ' '
The two men later were arrested
and identified by Davies as the sherry
pirates. ; .. . - : . '

, (Continued Fna Fx Om.) .
edge of the potentialities of this sec
tion such as I have gathered from the
trip I have been making. I have great
faith in this section and I want to see
the time when all of the immense
power of the Missouri river and the
other streams m this district are har
nessed and utilized for industry and
commerce.
"I believe there are feasible means
for. imooundincr the waters of these
streams in times of flood and releasing
them in times of low tide, burplus
waters could be used for irrigation
and a system of internal waterways
in the shape of canals "developed
which would solve the question of
cheao transoortation.
"I want to see a condition brought
about when all of the industries of
the country will be so localized that
every smalt town can have its factories
where farm labor can work at pro
ducing machinery in the winter and at
raisin croos in the summer.
"This would bring about seasonable
industry, equalize wealth creation and
ownership of the country, bring
about ideal condditions of production
and solve the labor problems by doing
away with friction. -
New Deal After War. '
"After the war this country will find
itself with new ideals. Men who have
bared their breasts in invitation to the
supreme sacrifice, who have borne the
terrible brunt of battle, who have wit
nessed the awful sublimity of the great
est traced v of the world, will possess
a larger vision and greater sense of
rcsponsiDiuiy , io ineir leuows ana io
society at large. They will be impa
tient of the more sordid efforts of
others to absorb wealth for selfish
ends, or to arrogate power to them
selves to satisfy the ego. They will
not stand for profiteering of any kind,
be it wealth, pwer or opportunity.
They will have a finer sense of social
justice and will insist on their public
servants seeing to it that their ideals
will be put into effect.
"The nation has accomplished .won
ders in mobilizing its brain power,
man power, resources and wealth to
the arts of war as an emergency meas
ure. We are-like a young giant who
has awakened to a knowledge of his
strength.
U. S. to Heal War Wounds. ,
"After peace is declared I believe a
condition will be created where we
will insist in the same mobilization of
ail of our brain, brawn, wealth and re
sources for the benefit of all man
kind. I believe we will unselfishly co
ordinate all of our finer forces for the
promotion of human happiness in an
effott to bind up and heal the wounds
of war.
"This great world crisis has proved
us a people of altruistic unselfishness
and of limitless ootentialities for ac
complishment We are the people and
it we insist our government ai wasn
ington will reflect all of our. ideals
however great they are."
Mr. tord believes the tractor,
while in its infancy, will solve nearly
all of the farm labor problems of the
time. It will lend itself to intensive
farming and to a larger use of land
for the reason of increasing the effi
ciency of the modern husbandman..
Rush War Activities.
"I could sell 10,000 tractors if I had
them today,", said he. "I now have
my agents looking for sites for my
various factories, sites where we can
use waterpower and do awsy with
steam. It is all right to make the
forgings and castings where we have
iron and coal, but the machine work
can be done anywhere where there is
water power and the assembling at

"We are going ahead with war ac
tivities at bur plants," said he. "We
are building submarine destroyers at
the rate of one a day. They are 200
feet long, of five and cne-half foot
beam, and develop a speed of 22 miles
an hour. They are fabricated in a

Italv. Tbev had visited the Ameri
cans on the Marne-front, saw the
fighting there and said that they were
prouder than ever of America.
"We, knew of America's wonderful
effort," said Representative Cassius
C Dowell of Des Moines. Ia., "but
we did not realize so much had been
done. It no longer is a case of the
United States just getting into the
war. She is in.
Congressman Dowell said the most
cheering message he got on the
Marne front was from a boy who
came from his home town. The sol
dier lav on a cot wounded and had
just been brought in from the fighting
zone. He said, smilingly, to the con
gressman: "Tell the folks at home that we
may not all come back, but that we
are winning the war."
Congressman Dowell added that he
had found the same spirit everywhere.
"It was wonderful," he said.' ."We
knew what stuff our men were made
of, but we had to visit the battle
front to appreciate what they were
doing. There isn't a man in our party
who will return home with any other
thought but that this war must not
end until German militarism has been
crushed for alt time."

Your Tractor Should be Tested

Northwest, because it has done it He can show that it is,unsur
passed for use in the rice fields of the South, because actual experi
ence has proved it He can point out the fact that in the steep hills

For six years, under almost every, condition of soil and climate, the Parrett has
proved itself a highly successful piece of farm machinery. And unless your farm is
indeed a rare exception, it will prove as great a success for you.
The Parrett will pull three 14-inch plows under ordinary conditions, will operate a
20 to 24-inch separator and do all kinds of belt work requiring equal power. No
special hitch is required, it is self -steering in the furrow, burns kerosense and has a
sensitive governor that makes it impossible to use more fuel than is actually required
for the job in hand. It is so simple to operate that a boy can do the work which or
dinarily requires a man.

Weissbaltin Chosen to
Stop Allies in Albania
Washington, Aug. 1. In conse
quence of the disaster in Albania,
the Austr'an supreme command has
dismissed the responsible generals
and appointed General Weiscbaltin
to command the armies opposing
the advancing Franco-Italian for
ces, according to a cablegram re

day from Rome. The Au.ti.
have brought up reinforcements
from Bosnia, Montenegro and the

speaking of the recognition of union
where such has been an issue said,
with reference to the Omaha case, in
cases where the right to organize has
been an issue the arbitrators applied
the war labor board principle.
Have Right to Organize.
This protects workers in the exer
cise of their right to join trade
unions without fearof molestation
by the employer. Where individual
employment contracts have been
executed by employing companies
they are ordered eliminated for the
period of the war on the ground that
they constitute an interference with
the free right of men to organize.
Such an order was made in the case
of the Omaha & Council Bluffs rail
way company.
May Mean Higher Fare.
Washington, Aug. 1. The war
finance corporation, with an available
fund of $500,000,000 to lend war in
dustries, is prepared to give finan
cial assistance to some of the com
panies for. whose employes higher
wages were ordered. The corpora
tion insists, however, that companies'
credit be good, and that adequate se
curity be furnished.
Directors of the war finance cor
poration, however, are said to be will
ing to investigate applications from
companies with impaired credit, and
to recommend informally to state or
local public service commissions that
fare increases for the railways be al
lowed. It was to stimulate this local
responsibility for local problems that
President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo
and the war finance corporation re
cently issued statements urging pub
lic service bodies to expedite consid
eration of applications of utilities for
rate advances.
No Intent to Take Lines.
President Wilson is understood to
have declined to act recently on a sug
gestion of the war labor board that
he take some drastic, action to in
crease street car fares generally
throughput the country on the ground
that the federal government should
not shoulder the financial responsi
bilities for thousands of utility proj
ects whose needs and nature of serv
ice are best known locally.
Persistent reports that President
Wilson might take over street car
lines generally and turn over their
operation to thej railroad administra
tion were discredited specifically to
day by high' officials. I
