It was easy to see that yesterday
was one of the big days in Omaha.
The incoming trains brought crowds
from the surrounding country and
from distant places. The hotels were
filled up and sleeping rooms were
about all filled by nightfall. The
crowds streamed' through the streets
and in the stores. The carnival was
Thousands came in by automobile,
the roads having become fairly pass
able after the recent rains.N Even at
noon hundreds of automobiles were
parked at intersecting streets and al
leys facing the line of march. In
many of them women sat knitting
and guarding the machines until the
rest of the parties arrived to view
the parade in comfort. By 6 o'clock
these vantage points were complete
ly filled with machines.
The Parade Moves.
Early in the day heavy cables were
tretched along the edges of the

from the street during the parade.
The weather was a bit threaten
ing. Toon before the parade started
a little rain fell, but it was only
enough to wet the ground and stop
ped before the parade was well un
der way. ,
The procession of floats left the
Ak-Sar-Ben den at Twentieth and
Burdette streets at 7:30 o'clock and
proceeded, unilluminated, to Six
teenth and Cuming streets. There,
promptly at 8 o'clock, the signal was
given, the horses moved forward, the
trolleys were placed against the
trolley wires and the great annual
event was under way. J
Down Sixteenth street to Douglas
it moved, east on Douglas to Tenth,
then south to Farnam and west on
Farnam to Twentieth, south to Har
ney, east to Sixteenth, south to
Howard, east to Fifteenth and north
to Capitol avenue, the entrance to
-the carnival grounds.
Huge Crowds to Witness.
The music of many bands mingled
with the cheering of the tens of
thousands as the inspiring electrical
spectacle moved on its triumphant
way. The board of governors, rich
ly caparisoned and mounted, rode
ahead.
Besides the thousands in the
street, every balcony and window
along the line of march was crowded
wjjh spectators. Along Farnam in
ftdnt of the court house 2,000 people
viewed the pardae from a temporary
grand stand. Other smaller grand
stands were erected at several places
.. while plenty of folks stood on chairs
and boxes for an unobstructed view.
The theaters did not raise their
curtains until the parade was over
and were rewarded by big crowds.
The carnival also came in for a big
share of the business, a continuous
stream of people pouring in at the
several gates after the parade. It was
a big night and confetti flew in a
regular storm.
The floats were photographed
yesterday afternoon by Pathe's
Weekly and will be shown all over
the nation. There is a report also
that the government may buy them
for use in other cities. If this is so,
It will help out the depleted treasury
considerably. The floats in the pa--rade
were as follows:
"The Allies' Answer."
Title float. Standing above a
shield bearing the parade's title,
was n ureal, i c ui nit i"jvfv
American' eaele. defiantly flapping
his wines. Around this were various
instruments of war and the decora
tions were in the national colors.
"The Spirit of America."
At the front of this float was a
. 75-millimeter cannon, roaring its
challenge to the hordes of autoc
racy. Next were tne tiuers oi me
soil, performing their important
labors; a woman, knitting; two al
legorical figures representing the
" builders of ships and at the rear of
the float the munitions factories
were seen, with women doing the
work. The float illustrated the uni
versal spirit that animates the "sol
diers of democracy" at the front, in

the fields, in the ship yards and mu
nitions works.
"Lafayette, We've Come."
A simple but striking float, show
ing General Pershing on horseback,
saluting a statue of Marquis de La
fayette at the foot of which he has
just placed a memorial wreath bear
ing the now famous expression,
"Lafayette, We've Come."
"Mars Forging Unbreakable Chain."
The architectural style of this
float was Greek, in keeping with the
figure of Mars, the ancient god of
war, which occupies its center.
Mars appeared, forging the Chain
of War, the unbreakable links of
which are the Allied nations.
"America Feeding the World."
Vast stores of corn, wheat, live
stock, metals, etc., were seen rep
resented on this float. At the
uar was a grain elevator, full to
overnowing. in tne center or tne
float was a figure representing Un
cle Sam feeding the countries of
the world, excepting only the "Cen
tral Empires," which were blotted
out, padlocked and marked "Ver
boten." The float typified the
boundless resources of the United
States which are now mobilized for
the one purpose of crushing Ger
man "kultur."
"The Watch on the Rhine."
This was a "cartoon float." A
German dachshund was seen, com
pletely "over a barrel" and making
vigorous efforts to get back "across
the Rhine." In this effort he was
being vigorously assisted by a war
like British lion, French rooster
and American eagle. At the base
of the float were groups of the fam
ous Chausseurs Alpin or French
"Blue Devils," wearing gas masks
and ready to charge.
"Undaunted France."
This was one of the most popular
floats in the parade. It represented
the undaunted spirit of splendid
France. At the front stood the
rooster, typical of courage. Back
of this were figures in martial cos
tume and at the rear was a massive
"Arch of Triumph," copied after
the famous one in Paris. Beneath
the arch sat a greceful and heroic
figure symbolizing "France." The
sides of the float were georgeously
decorated with the massed Allied
flags, the shields of France and the
fleur de Ivs.
"Hail, Bratannia!"
An heroic figure of "Britannia,"
with wreath and trident occupied
the center of this float. The colors
and shields of England, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales were shown and
the mighty British fighting lines in
the far-flung battle lines throughout
the world were given honor.
"Italia Irredenta."
A mighty vengeful figure of "Ital
ia," clad in red, was the out
standing figure on this float. Sword
in hand, "Italia" was seen attacking
the Hapsburg eagle and winning
back from Austria those provinces
which were taken from her wrong
fully. "Desolate Belgium."
Ruined cathedrals, devastated
buildings, formed the center of this
float. Within the crushed walls
pitiful figures of refugees could be
seen. The whole typified the de
fiant little kingdom that held the
Hun until mightier nations could get
ready to take care of him. Above
was the rainbow of hope and at
the front of the float the figure of
the heroic Cardinal Mercier.
"The Szecho-Slovaks."
Mythology was drawn upon to
get the material for this interesting
float which illustrates the progress
of the Czecho-Slovak army across
the wilds of Siberia in a modern
romance of adventure. Bellerophon
was represented as an heroic Czecho-Slovak
figure with the four
starred flag of this newest nation
to join the allied fighting forces. He
was facing a triple-headed, fire
breathing monster, Chimera, issu
ing from a glittering iceberg.
"The Greatest Mother in the
World."
Occupying the center of this
float was a massive reproduction of
the poster that took the nation by
storm during the second Red Cross
war fund drive, the Red Cross nurse
with the Madonna-like face, holding
in her arms the stretcher-borne
wounded soldier. On the rest of
the float were representations of
the various benefactions of the Red
Cross and cornucopias filled with
gold and silver, illustrating the
boundless generosity of the people
in supporting this great organiza
tion. "Our War Presidents."
This float showed, in chronologi
cal order, the presidents in office
during the various wars that we
have fought, beginning with the rev
olution and ending with the present
gigantic struggle. First, in front,
was depicted George Washington
and then followed the portraits of
the other executives who guided
this land of the free to victory in
everv war in its history.
"The End of the Submarine."
This was an especially striking
float, showing a submarine emerg
ing from the ocean waves while
over it hovered the American eagle,
its sharp talons already fixed in
the back of the "sub," which was
powerless to shake them off. The
front of the submarine was a hel
meted head, the Hun face fixed in a
grimace of fear. At each side of
the float, in massive relief was the
never-sleeping "Eye of the Navy,"
guarding the "Lanes of the Sea."
"The Liberty Loan."
This also was a "cartoon float."
The kaiser was represented couch
ing at the foot of a cliff while at the
top of the precipice, directly over
b,im, a crowd of Americans of ev
ery class was seen holding a plank,
labedel "Thrift," with which they
were prving a massive safe over the
cliff and down on the hapless head
of the bloody monarch below. The
safe represented the united savings
of the American people invested in
Libertv bonds.
"The End of the Hun."
There was humor in this, the final
float. And endless stream of Huns
was represented marching up to the
"pearly gates" where they found ad
mission refused them and then pro
ceeded sadly down toward the oth
er region.
Along the Line.
The Boy Scouts In full uniform and
bearing thrlr staffs wer on duty every
where, molting themselves usefui.
Among the bands In the persde was the
Pohocco boys' band resplendent In dark
coats and white trousers and hats. They
were J6 strong and at their head earrled a
service, flag with seven stars. This band
comes from a thriving community in

rear of one of the floats at intervals of

GERMAN GRASP
ON BELGIUM AND
FRANCE BROKEN
(Continued From Page One.)
troops in the Champagne are surg
ing forward toward equally vital
supply lines on the other. The bat
tle line is assuming the shape of a
vast trap thrusting its jaw out to
engulf the German armies.
The German leaders have seen
teir danger. Official reports to the
State department today indicated
that evacuation of the submarine
bases on the Belgian coast was im
minent. There also is conclusive
evidence that the evacuation of the
lines before Rheims is well unle
way. The question uppermost in
the minds of army officers here is
whether the German high command
has acted in time.
Announcement from Paris that
2,000 prisoners were taken by the
French yesterday in operations be
tween the V'esle and the Aisne
rivers, is significant of the difficulty
of getting troops back safely out of
an abandoned fighting line. There
has been no hint of a French attack
on a large scale on this front and
the Berlin statements have charac
terized the movement as a with
drawal. Only a narrow front was
involved, yet 2,000 men, left as rear
guards, were captured.

Secretary Baker Gives Praise
for Great Assistance Ren
dered in Transport by
United Kingdom.
ESPOTIG RUL
AKENING IN
MIDDLE EUROPE
London, Oct. 2. Newton D.
Baker, American secretary of war,
; issued the following statement here
tonight:
"The primary purpose of my visit
to London was to arrange for fur
ther co-operation in the matter of
shipping to carry out the enlarged
military program upon which Amer
ica has embarked. The result of
conferences on this subject appear
in the transactions of the inter-allied
maritime council, but I am
' happy to give public expression to
! my high appreciation of the cordial
way in which the British govern
ment has worked.
"Transportation or the vast army
of Americans now in France has
been possible only because of the
assistance rendered by British ships.
The whole exploit is a fine example
of international co-operation and ar
rangements have been made to give
a fresh illustration of the heartiness
with which the allied nations are as
sociating their means and facilities
for the common cause.
"This visit to England has given
me the opportunity which I did not
have before to visit some camps,
hospitals and other facilities pro
vided for us here. The story of
what has been done in the United
kingdom for American soldiers will
be eagerly read in America and will
form another bond of friendly feel
ing between the peoples of the two
great nations."
Loan Drive Hits Stride.
Washington, Oct. 2. Telegrams
to the treasury today indicated that
the Fourth Liberty loan has hit the
stride which will put it over the
$6,000,000,000 minimum by the end
of the allotted period, according to
the official headquarters announce
ment. No official totals were avail
able. 1
(Continued From Page One.)
iments in the hope that with these the
entente statesmen will be willing
1o conter about peace.
Indications of such a purpose are
discerned by American atficials in
various utterances and acts of the
German nd Austrian leaders. kIn
his acceptance of the resignation of
Premier von Hertling, Emperor
William appealed to the strong men
of Germany to come to his aid and
share the burdens of government,
a direct bid for the support of the
socialists and centrists in return for
participation in the cabinet.
Then there are the statements in
leading German newspapers, signifi
cant because they have passed the
scrutiny of the German censors,
that the creation of a responsible
cabinet is under consideration. Next
is the refusal of the socialists to en
ter the government as at present
j constituted, indicative ot a deter
j mination to hold out for the right
of the majority party in the reichs
tag to name the members of the
cabinet, even though that involves
the change of the German consti
; tution.
i As a half-way measure and in a
' desperate effort to save the imperial
' prerogative, Emperor William al
; ready has tried the expedient of him
. self selecting leaders of the opposi
j tion parties for minor places in the
; cabinet and promising to forward
i the enactment of popular measures.
i Eut the socialists have generally de-1
ciined to accept anything short of
absolute control of the cabinet
through the reichstag without refer
ence to the wishes of the emperor,
and officials believe that at length
they are about to realize their aspirations.
Such a change in Germany doubt
less would be followed, if not in
deed preceded, by a similar revolu
toin in Austrian parliamentary gov
ernment and it is fully expected that
as soon as real representative gov
ernment is a fact in the central em
pires there will be an irresistible
movement towards peace, even on
the terms laid down by President
Wilson.
In this connection the news today
that the Austrian emperor had sum
moned to Vienna the three biggest
men of Hungary, Counts Tisza, An
drassy and Apponyi, was received
here with ur.disguished interest. This
action was regarded as very signifi
cant, although officials were not cer
tain whether it had to do with the
Bulgarian withdrawal from the war
with its direct threat to the dual
monarchy, or with internal reforms
or was a definite move for a separate
peaces

MILLS, lumber yards and Jogging camps,

difficult hauling problems, all find the famous
Nash Quad, which drives, brakes and steers on
all four wheels, a real economy in their service.
The Nash Quad is, pethaps, the best known

transportation. In many ways it has practically
doubled the efficiency ot the ord;nary truck.
NashOuads cost no more to operate than ordi.
nary trucks. Because front and ear wheeis track
and the driving and braking stiains are distrib
uted over four wheels instead ot two, the Nash
Quad is unusually economical of tires. And it
fuei consumption and entire maintenance costs
are most reasonable.
We re still able co supply n limited number oi
