Bumper Crop Greets War
Farmer With Big Field
Charles Altschuler, Madison,
Neb., was in the city Monday, with
a fine display of white and yellow
corn, which he had picked at ran
dom from what is considered the
largest field of corn in the north
ern part of Nebraska.
Mr. Altschuler retired from the
farm 40 years previous to the en
trance of the United States into
war. As soon as he realized Uncle
Sam would need the energies of
every able-bodied man in the coun
try in food production, he and his
son went back to farming, and they
have not only reaped a harvest of
grain, but also a harvest of money
in so doing.
He has 255 acres of corn, the
sample ears of which are over 12
inches in length. He picked 24 ears
frcm 10 stalks and there are indi
cations that his corn will go 60
bushels to the acre. He uses a
tractor in his farming operations.
Theological Seminary
Will Open Wednesday
The new year at Omaha Theo
logical seminary will open Wednes
day at 2 o'clock. The address of
the occasion will be delivered by
Prof. Frank H. Ridgley on "The
Church and the Coming Crisis." It

developed by these war times.
Fifteen representatives of the
seminary are now serving in the ar

the outlook is good for classes as
large as those of last yed.
The accommodations offered to
students this year are better than
ever before. For the first time the
institution has its own dining room,
also a good room for physical exer
cises. Some students have already
entered the dormitory and others
are exepcted daily to the end of the
week.
Public Worship Conduct,
. Ministerial Union Theme
A paper on the "Conduct of Pub
lic Worship" was a feature of the
program at the first meeting of the
Ministerial union after the summer
vacation Monday morning at the
Y. M. C. A. building. The paper was
read by Rev. F. W. Leavitt, pastor
of Plymouth Congregational church.
It treated of what is best to include
in public religious ceremony. It was
followed by general discussion by
the members of the union.
Various plans for extending the
work of the union during the com
ing year were discussed during the
earlier part of the meeting. The
nominating committee is expected
to report on the new officers recom
mended for the coming year. Hence
forth regular monthly meetings on
the third Monday of each month
will be held.
Rev. Fred E. Pamp, pastor of the

NEW YORK STOCKS
Restricted Money Situation
Overshadows Peace Over
tures; Tobacco Lowest in
Months; Bonds Hold.
New Tork, Sept. 16. In ths face of ths
renewed peace efforts by tho central pow
ers, the stock market opened steady to
day, supported by the readjustment of
values as begun on Saturday, after last
week's liquidation. The effects of Aus
tria's political movs were entirely nega
tive. United States Steel was unchanged
to a quarter of a point off, and other
representative issues and the investment
shares were slightly higher. A subsequent
sharp break In American Sumatra Tobac
co, which declined 6H points, and a loss
of 2 points In United States Alcohol,
caused the market to yield a fraction In
sympathy.
Concentrated buying of ths on group
and Marine preferred, which extended
their gains materially, created a more
hopeful speculative sentiment, but ths
trading was cautious.
Covering orders checked the decline of
the latter part of the first hour, the
market displaying more vitality than of
late, on the long side, aa shown by ad
vances of I to 2 points in oils, motors,
marines, rails and Crucible Steel. Texas
Company rose 2Vi points, attributed to its
favorable annual report disclosing a large
increase in ths earnings and Oeneral
Motors also made a gain of several points.
After 11 o'clock it became apparent that
banks were calling loans to remedy the
recent unfavorable money situation and
there was renewed selling for both ac
counts, United States and Bethlehem
Steels being freely offered after declines
of more than a point each.

Most of Fall Plowing Done
and Seeding Under Way
The Burlington railroad crop re
port, covering central and south
eastern Nebraska, shows that 75 per
cent of the plowing for fall wheat
has already been done and that in
some localities seeding is well un
der way. There is enough mois
ture in the ground to start the
wheat growing.
In southeastern Nebraska there
was some damage to the corn, but
it will yield a crop estimated to be
better than the 10-year average.
In the central part of the state
corn was more seriously damaged
by heat and drouth, the damage run
ning from 50 to 70 per cent.
Wheat in southeastern Nebraska,
while not quite as good as last year,
was good, and the corn crop will
more than offset the small decrease
in wheat yield.
Tractor Company Moves
Its Offices from Chicago
Executive offices of the Square

rectors Walter S. Jardine was
elected chairman and will be the
executive head of the company. The
company voted to speed up the pro
duction to the limit. Work on
tractors being built-by the Omaha

GERMANS M0 VED
AGAINST U. S. IN
RUSSIA IN 1917
Authentic Documents Show Kaiser Controlled Bolshe
viki as Early as November in 1917 and Planned to
Send Three U-Boats to Pacific Through Siberia
"Comrades" Sent to Allied Countries.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 16. Secret activities against
the United States and the allies of the German paid and con
trolled Russian bolsheviki governments are the subject of
today's chapter of confidential documents from Russia given
to the public by the American government v
One of the documents, a terse
note from the German general staff
to the Council of People's Commis
sars, discloses that as long ago as
November, 1917, when the Russian
regime still was regarded as an ally
of the nations at war with Germany,
the Germans were brusquely requir
ing Lenine and Trotzky to furnish
information regarding the amounts
and places of storage of supplies re
ceived by- Russia from America,
England and France.
Early Moves Against Allies.
Others tell of the launching in
January and February this year of a
olshevik peace and socialistic
propaganda against the United
States, England and France, at the
direction of the German intelligence
service. This was at the very time
that Scheidemann, the powerful
German socialist and world social
ism apostle was in communication
with his Russian brothers "regard
ing the destruction of the traces of
the party's business relations with
the imperial government."
The intelligence service required
the bolsheviki to send to the allied
countries through neutral Europe
"comrades" under assumed names
and with false neutral passports, to
preach their doctrine of disorgan
ization and to carry on campaigns
of "counter revoluton, sabotage,
looting, etc."
Ambassador Assaulted.
Plans of the Germans for sendng
three submarines, disassembled, by
rail overland to Vladivostok for
service on the Pacifiic are disclosed
in a communication of the German
high seas fleet general staff to the
cimmissars. Another of the naval
communications reveals a scheme
conceived in January of employing
Russian ships on the Pacific under
the Russian flag to carry agitators
and "agents destructors" to the
United States, Japan and the Brit
ish colonies in eastern Asia.
Personal notes from the German
intelligence service to the commis
sars v describe the assault upon and
robbery of the Italian ambassador
in the streets of Petrograd in Feb
ruary last, in a vain effort to get
possession of important papers be
lieved to have been in the ambas
sador's possession. Other notes
tell in detail of the watch kept upon
the American and other allied em
bassies. '
Like the remainder of the docu
ments of the series, these made
public today, are accompanied by
notes explaining which are originals
and which photographic copies, and
by explanatory comments by Edgar
Sisson, who obtairied the corre
spondence in Russia for the com
mittee on public information.

Vots Members of ths red guard were
paid from 11 to 16 roubles a day, whereas
soldiers were paid hardly that number cf
kopecks. This letter shows where the
money came from. The bolshevik gov
ernment also required factory owners to
pay regular wages to their workers while
ths latter served in the red guard. The
notation on letter Indicates that It was
referred to Menshtnskl, ths financial min
ister, whose expert councillor was the
German, Von Toll. Menshlnski person
ally conducted ths wrecking of the Rus
sian banks, a maneuver that deprived all
opponents of bolshavlklsm of their finan

Very Secret.
To the Corrftnissioner of Foreign
Affairs: Information has today been
received by me from Stockholm that
50,000,000 roubles of gold has been
transferred to be put at the disposal
of the represntatives of the people's
commissars. This credit has been
supplied to the Russian government
in order to cover the cost of the keep
of the red guards and agitators in
the country. The imperial govern
ment considers it appropriate to re
mind the soviet of people's commis
sars of the necessity of increasing
their propaganda in the country, as
the antagonistic attitude of the south
of Russia and Siberia to the existing
government is troubling the German
government. It is of great import
ance to send experienced men every
where in order to set up a uniform
government. Representative of the
Imperial bank. Von Schanz..

To the Commissar of Foreign Af
fairs: I am instructed to convey
the agreement of the Imperial bank
to the issue of a credit of 5,000,000
roubles for the dispatch of the as
sistant naval commissar, Kudria
shoff, to the far east.
On arrival at Vladivostok he
should visit the retired officer of the
Russian fleet, Mr. Panoff, and in
struct Buttenhoff and Staufacher,
who are known to Panoff, to come
to see him. Both the mentioned
agents will bring with them Messrs.
Edward Shindler, , William Keber
lein and Paul.Diese (or Deze). With
these persons it is necessary to
think out a plan for carrying out
the Japanese and American war
materials from Vladivostok to the
west. If this is not possible then
they must instruct Diese (or Deze)
and his agents to destroy the stores.
Shindler must acquaint Kudriashoff
with the Chinese .agents at Nikolsk.
These persons should receive the
agreed amounts and should be dis
patched to China to carry on an
agitation against Japan. President
of the Imperial Bank, Von Schanz.
Note If this plan was developed to a
climax tt was not by Kudriashoff. Ha
was killed on his passage through Si
beria two or three weeks later and It was
reported that a great sum of money was
takem from his body by -his murderers,

(Relchsbank No. 5, January 11, 1911.)
To the Chairman of the Council
of People's Commissars:
Mr. Dear Mr. Chairman: The
industrial and commercial organiza
tions in Germany interested in
trade relations with Russia have ad
dressed themselves to me in a letter,
including several guiding indica
tions. Permit me to bring them to
your attention.
1. The conflict of the Russian
revolution with the Russian capital
ists , absolutely does not interest
German manufacturing circles, in so
far as the question does not concern
industry as such. You can destroy
the Russian capitalists as far as you
please, but it would by no means be
possible to permit the destruction of
Russian enterprises. Such a situa
tion would produce a constant fer
ment in the country, supported by
famine of materials and, in conse
quence of that, of products also. The
English, American, and French
capitalists take advantage of this
disorder and understand how to es
tablish here corps of their commer
cial agents. It is necessary to re
member that German industry in
the first years after the general
Djeace will not be in a position to
satisfy the purchasing demand of
the Russian market, having broad
similar parallel tasks in the near
east, in Persia, in China, and in
Africa.
2. It is essential, therefore, to
conduct a canvass and gather sta
tistical information with regard to
the condition of industry, and in
view of the absence of money in
Russia, to address in business con
versations whichever is desired of
teh group of German Commercial
banks.
3. Trade with Germany may be
in the first period almost exclusive
ly exchange for wheat and for any
remaining products to receive
household necessities. Everything
which exceeds the limits of such
trade should be paid for in advance
to the amount of 75 per cent of the
market value, with the payment of
the remaining quarter in a six
months' period. In place of such
an arrangement, probably, it would
seem to be possible to permit, pri
vately, the taking of German divi
dend shares on the Russian finan
cial market, or solidly guaranteed
industrial and railroad loans.
In view of the indicated interest
of German manufacturers and mer
chants in trade relations in Russia,
I cordially beg you, Mr. Chairman,
to inform me of the views of the
government regarding the questions
touched upon, and to receive the as
surances of my sincere respect.
Representative of the Imperial Bank
and Stock Exchange in Berlin, G.
von Schanz.
Note The engaging attitude of ths
Oerman manufacturing circles toward Rus
sian capitalists Is the feature of this letter,
apart from ths cordial and evidently un
derstanding expressions of the repre
sentative of the German Imperial Bank
to that supposed enemy of ths capitalists
of all nations. Lenine. Th letter was
sent to the secret department by Secre
tary Skrlpnlk. Perhaps some day Von
Schanz will disclose Lenlne's answer.

tions connected with the transfer to
the benefit of Germany of two min
ing districts in Poland Dombrosky
and Olkishky and to Austria of the

To the Chairman of the Council
of People's Commissars: After con

sar Trotsky, I have the honor to
ask you to urgently inform the
agents of the jecret service at Staf
ka, Commissars Feierabend and Kal

as formerly in complete independ
ence and without the knowledge of
the official staff at Stafka and the
general staff in Petersburg, and par
ticularly Gen. Bonch-Briievich and
the secret service of the northern
front, communicating only wjth the
People's Commissar Lieutenant Kri
lenko. For the head of the depart
ment, R. Bauer; adjutant, Bukholm.
NOTE. Across ths letter Is written
"Inform Mosholov. N. C." (Gorbunofs In
itials). In ths margin Is written "Passed
on to the Commlesar of War. M. Skrlp
nlk." The significance of this letter Is
that It is to Lenin that the two chief
secretaries of himself and the council
passed It on for action; and that Trotsky
aid Lenin on February 17 were continu
ing to hamper the Russian commander at
a moment whep the Oerman army was
threatening Petrograd. Mosholov was one
of ths commissars on the staff of Krt

To the Chairman of the Council
of People's Commissars: According
to reports of our secret service in
the detachments operating against
the German troops and against the
Austrian Ukrainian corps, there has
been discovered propaganda for a
national rising and a struggle with
the Germans and their allies, the
Ukrainians. I ask you to inform me

Note Across tho top Is written "Urgent

taff. M. Skrlpnlk." Tha last sentence
Is underscored, and In the margin ap
pears a question marked, initialed "L. T."
Ths first is Lenin's order through his
secretary and the second may possibly
b taken as Trotsky's opposition to any
action. Ths loss of the Ukralna by coun
ter German Intrigue was a sots point in
prestige with him. But his essential
obedience to Germany was not lessened.

To the Commissar of Foreign
Affairs: According to information
of the secret service department it
has been ascertained that the
promise given personally by you,
Mr. Commissar, in Brest-Litovsk,
that socialistic agitational literature
would not be circulated among the
German troops is not being fulfilled.
Tell me what steps will be taken in
this matter. For the head of the de
partment, R. Bauer; adjutant, Hen

Note Brusque words to the foreign
minister of ths Soviet government of
workmen, soldiers and sailers of the Rus
sian republic, delivered not by an equal
In official rank, but by the deputy of a
German major at th head of an Informa
tion department of the German govern
ment. Did Trotsky resent or deny the
Imputation T Instead he wrote with bis
own hand In ths margin, "I ask fo dis
cuss It L. T." Thus he admits that he
did glvs th promts at Brest-Lltovsk.
Th question raised concerns only .the
measures of obedience to be required.

A WARNING.
To the chairman of the Council of
People's Commissars: The counter
espionage at the Stavka advises that
at the front is being spread by un
known agitators the following coun
terrevolutionary literature:
1. The text of circulars of vari
ous German government institutions
with proofs of the connection of the
German government with the Bol
shevik workers before the passing
of the government into .their hands.
These leaflets have reached also the
German commanders. The supreme
commander has received a demand
from General Hoffman to stop this
dangerous agitation by all means
possible.
2. A stenographic report of the
conversation of General Hoffman
with Comrade Trotsky, whereby it
was supposedly proposed to the lat
ter to make peace on conditions of
considerable concessions on the part
of the central empires, but on the
obligation of the Rtwsian govern
ment to stop the socialization of the
life of the state. Comrade Trotsky
supposedly offered the termination
of the war without peace and the de
mobilzation of our army. ' When
General Hoffman announced that
the Germans would continue the
advance, Trotsky supposedly replied
"Then under the pressure of force
we shall be forced to make peace
and fulfill all demands.'1 .
This document has created indig
nation among th troops; Against
the Council of People's Commissars
are heard cruel accusations. Com
missar S. Kalmanovich.
