THE BEE! OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 1918. 4 :. .i I. r-. VON HINDENBURG TRIES TO ALLAY GERMANS' FEARS Huh Leader in Proclamation Warns Public Not to Credit "Insane Rumors" Cir culated by Enemy. Copenhagen, Sept. 6. Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg, according to a dispatch from Berlin, has issued a proclamation to the German people, declaring that the enemy, in addition to the armed offensive, is conduct ing an offensive by printed matter containing "most insane rumors" which are distributed in Switzerland, Holland and Denmark, from which countries they are spread through out the whole of Germany. The field marshal warns the peo ple "to be unanimous against this enemy who fights with scraps of pnper and rumors intended to sow dissension and disunion among our selves and between us and our allies" and exhorts all Germans to remem ber "these poisoned scraps" come from the, enemy. Fresh and Vigorous. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, whose vigor ahd fresh appearance are emphasized by the correspond ents, said: "The fact that the Austrian offen sive on, the Piave was not carried out must not be taken too tragically. It certainly was not for a lack of courage, for the troops fought splen didly. The reason must be sought in the flooding of the Tiave." The field tnarshal said he looked with confidence to Albania and Mace donia, "while in Palestine the Eng lish had not succeeded with numerous bloody attacks in shaking the re- sistance of the Turks." He also re ferred to the British expeditions in Persia and on the Murman coast of Russia and then said: ' "The decisive .battle for the cen tral powers, however, is taking place on the western front, where the cen tral powers are standing shoulder to Shoulder in a defensive battle. "It is true we are suffering griev ously from the war, but we shall emerge stronger from it. We shall return home after the glorious battle to assured peaceful labor and then pluck the fruit of our fight. "To this end the watchword is 'persevere.' We may look serenely into the future." Seeks Aid ,of Press. Amsterdam, Sept. 6. "Intellectual weapons play in this war as influen tial and important a role as the battle field and diplomacy," said Admiral Von Hintze, the German foreign minister, in a speech in Vienna in , which he was emphasizing the im portance of everything being done to bring about an honorable peace.

Wattles, food adminis trator of Nebraska, reviewing the work done at the conference of food administrators, which came to a close todiy, said that generally Nebraska had but a passing interest in the subjects discussed as they were in tended for sections other than the Missouri river region. Despite the bountiful harvests, he said the administrators were unani mous in declaring that food conser vation must be intensified to meet the growing demands of our army over the seas and the civilian popula tion of this and other countries. Details of the sugar situation were canvassed and it was the consensus of opinion that the present ration of two pounds per person per month should be retained. Mr. Wattles said he would hold a state meeting of local administra tors at Omaha next week when he would deliver the message Herbert Hoover brought from the battlefields of Europe to the people of the United States.

Impersonator of President' Registers Here for Draft Woodrow Wilson walked into the office of draft board No. 2, Friday afternoon, and, after registering fin der the provisions of the 18 to 45 draft regulations, he asked for a pass port to Canada. To keep history straight we will say right here it was not the presi dent of the United States who did this, but his double, P. H. Wcstphal, who assumes the part of our president in the allegorical offering of "All For Democracy," one of the features of the Orpheum bill this week. He was followed by Frank Ken more, who plays the part of General Robert E. Lee, and by Phil W. Welk er, musical director of the act. These gentlemen are all subject to registration under the new law and they have paid Omaha the compli ment of selecting the local draft board as their military home, instead of little old New York, as does nianx, of their art. Today Louis Wintrauh of the same coinpany will follow suit. In keeping with the title of the playlet in which they appear these ac tors will give their "AH For Democracy." 7' Omaha Leads World in Auto Truck Livestock Receipts Figures compiled by the United States Bureau of Markets at the re quest of the bureau of publicity of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce indicate the' importance of live stock truck hauling into Omaha.
