"The number of stock cattle and
feeding steers in the Union Stock
yards Monday wa the largest of
editor of the Driver's Journal
Stockman. "Yard traders carred
over a big jog from last week and
fresh supplies were heavy, so that
it took still lower prices to move
anything, on top of last week's 50c
and $1.00 decline.
"These opportunities to stock ur
on cattle at bargain counter prices
come only once or twice a season,
and this certainly looks like a fine
.time for prospective buyers to get
busy."

Doing a' Rushing Business
C. L. Madsen, keeper of the Mu
nicipal Ice plant at South Twenty
fourth and O streets, says he is still
doing a rushing business in ice as
'the demand for it does not decrease
and in fact he sold more Saturday
than on of the hottest days in Au
gust. "The difficulty is in getting the
ice," he said. "I could sell twice as
much if I could get it, but I have
to turn many away without it. I sell
more in this South Omaha station
than is sold in any muny station in
the city of Omaha."
Leaves Her Own Children
To Nurse Sick Soldiers
South Side Brevities
Leaving two little children in the
care of others so she might go and
nurse sick soldiers at Camp Dodge
was the patriotic service performed
by Mrs. R. J. Brown, who returned
Sunday.
"Women who are graduate nurses
but who have married and left their
work, should get into the harness
again in this emergency." said Mrs.
Brown. "There are not nearly
enough women there, and they are
working from 12 to 15 hours a day.
They keep going until they drop
from exhaustion. And the poor boys
are so sick it makes your heart ache
to see them. No one who has not
been there can realize how desper
ately competent nurses are needed."
Friday night Miss Charlotte
Townsend, director of nurses for
the state Red Cross, sent out hun-
j dreds of night letters begging all
women who were graduate nurses to
; don their old uniforms and get to
work. The Red Cross pays all ex
penses and a salary of $60 a month.
"Don't wait for transporation to
be arranged, but go at once," urged
Miss Townsend, "and the transpor
tation will be fixed up later."
A letter received from a young
man in Camp Dodge stated that
nearly every man in the camp is
either ill of "flu" or has had it. "It
is a ghastly sight to see the stretch
ers vonstantly being carried out of
the barracks." he writes. "The boys
look so terribly sick."
Any nurse who can possibly ar
range matters so that she can help
out in this emergency should notify
Miss Charlotte Townsend, Nebraska
State Red Cross, Omaha, immediately.

MANGiN'S ENTRY
INTO UON SCEHE
OF GREATEST JOY
Town's 6,000 Inhabitants
Rush to Gates of City,
Greeting the Victorious
Troops; Push On.
By Associated Press.
With the French Army in the
Laon Area, Oct. 14. In a lit
eral transport of joy the 6,000
inhabitants remaining in Laon
rushed to the gates of the city
yesterday afternoon to greet Gen
eral Mangin. who made his entry
into the city at 3:30 o'clock. Men,
women and children, with the tears
running down their cheeks and wav
ing the tri-color, cried: "Long live
General Mangin 1 Long live the
army! Long live our liberators 1"
The people crowded around the
general, almost carrying him in
triumph to the city hall, where he
was received by the deputy mayor.
The mayor himself and 600 young
men had been carried off by the
Germans.
Every German Gone.

DESTRUCTION
IN TRAiL OF HUN
SAY CANADIANS
Soldiers Find Many Evidences
of Deliberate Vandalism;
Solf Denies Acts of
Teuton Troops.
With the Canadian Forces in the
Field, Oct. 14. (By Canadian Press)
Engineers, aided by battalions of
infantry and by the Quipping of the
high wind, have succeeded after des
perate efforts in checking the Cam
brai fires, but the heart of the city
had been burned out and also the
suburbs on the east side. Those on
the west and south escaped by sheer
good luck.
Careful investigation during the
past two days established beyond
tiuestion that Cambrai had been de
stroyed deliberately. No sooner
was the civilian population evacu
ated to Valenciennes than the homes
were given over to sack by the sol
diers. When the Canadians took com
plete possession of the city it was
virtually intact. A little later, at
rapid intervals, time fuse explosions
occurred, setting off incendiary
bombs.
General von Derniarwitz is the
army "commander declared to he re
sponsible for the destruction of
Cambrai.
from l e forest of St. Gobain, which
for four years had been one of the
strongest bastions of the enemy's
line.
Pursuing their advance with
heightened ardor in the joy of hav
ing delivered Laon, General Man
gin's troops went on several miles
north of the city, liberating a num
ber of villages and arriving before
the enemy's secondary position.
At Marchais. 2,000 inhabitants of
that town greeted their deliverers
with joyfulness equal to that of the
people of Lacn. They produced a
notice left by the Germans on re
tiring to the effect that the French
authorities would have until October
14 at 6 p. m. to remove the popula
tion, after which the town would be
bombarded.
Great Victory.
The German resistance in the
Laon region consisted mostly of
machine gun fire, with a harassing
artillery fire upon the lines of com
munication. The advance of the
French troops was extraordinary,
considering the difficulties that had
to be overcome. All the wSads had
been blown up by mine at mai.y
places. The villages either were
mined or burned and great depths
of wire had to be broken through.
On the front of General Gourauds
troops the reconquered villages, al
though seemingly intact, have been
found to be mined.
The Germans are defending stoic
ally all the passages of the river
Aisne, all the bridges having been
destroyed.
The French Fifth army has con
tinued its forward movement, liber
ating the village: of Sterme, Outre
Ramecourt and Montaigu and reach
ing the enemy's secondary defense
line before Sissonne.
Further to the east both the
French infantry and artillery have
crossed the Aisne at Vieux-les- As
feld ajid Asfel-la-Ville.
On the right the enemy is disput
ing stubbornly the positions along
the Aisne canal from the' Aire to
Chateau Porcieu.
WAR, PUZZLES
n an interview sent broadcast by
the Wolff bureau, the German semi
official news agency, is quoted as
saying.
"The particularly malicious cam
paign of incitement with which a
part of the enemy news service has
accompanied the present crisis of
the war is the continually rejected
accusation that in our retreat we
have purposely and systematically
devastated occupied French terri
tory. It is untrue that our troops
slaughter wounded, intentionally
blow up hospitals and schools, rob
churches and commit other crimes
against enemy peoples and prison
ers. "The work of destruction which
in our retreat as in every operation
of retirement in history was un
avoidable and has everywhere been
restricted to measures of really in
dispensable harshness which are in
tended to prevent a retiring army
from leaving in the hands of thelen
emy bases which to a great extent
are of A military character."

Atlantic, la., Oct. 14. (Special.)
John C. Voorhees, Anita banker
and democratic candidate for state
senator, charged his opponent, Julius
A. Nelson, indirectly, with being an
adherent of the Nonpartisan league
and intimating that the league's loy-
, alty was questionable. This brought
j a sharp rejoiner ' from Nelson in
; which he demanded of Voorhees
why, if the latter had facts leading
him to believe the nonpartisan was
unloyal, he did not submit such
facts to the State Defense Council.
Nelson also disclaimed any sym
pathy with the Nonpartisan league

in anticipation of a glorious "raid."
This, however, was quashed when
nothing stronger than "Bevo" was
found, but the excitement furnished
fun aplenty.

Million Per Minute,
Gotham Bond Record
When Schwab Talks
New York, Oct. 14. Within six
minutes $6,000,000 in Liberty bonds
were subscribed here today to build
six $1,000,000 ships for the Emer
gency Fleet corporation, in response
to an appeal made by Charles M
Schwab, the corporation's director
general, at a luncheon in honor of
foreign diplomats and representa
tives of the government.
The enthusiasm in the pledging
was- so great that there was no ces
sation in the bidding after the
amount called for had been raised
and $38,000,000 had been subscribed
within 38 minutes.
Within the first hour $50.
000,000 had been subscribed, with
the pledging still going on.
As each million of the first $22,
000,000 was subscribed, this, naval
offensive against Germany was
graphically illustrated by the
launching of a miniature ship oper
ated by a mechanical device.
"It is not my purpose even to pre
sume to comment on the message
of our illustrious president," he said.
"but I do not mind saying that I
would like to give the Germans one
damn pood kick to remember this
war by."
America had launched 3.000,000
gross tons of shipping during the
last vear, Mr. Schwab said, and
2000,000 of this was in commis
sion. Ships and more .ships were
needed, he said, and this required
money and more monev.

consequences to the Ukraine of the
application of his program with re
gard to the evacuation of occupied
territories. The Ukrainian cabinet,
it is said, considers the Ukraine to
be occupied territory and it holds
that the article of the president's
program regarding this question
would risk the infringing of its sov
ereign rights.

U-BOAT MENACE
GREATEST EVER,
SAYS m ERIC
British Admiral Makes Strong
Appeal for More Ships,
While Attending Dinner
in America.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 14. An appeal
from the British government to
America to expedite the construc
tion of destroyers and anti-submarine
craft and appliances, was made
here tonight by Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord of the British admirality,
after he had asserted, that the U
boat menace today is "greater than
it ever was."
Speaking at a dinner given by the
Pilgrim society, Sir Eric said that
within the last few days Vice Ad
miral Sir Ludovic Duff of the Brit
ish navy had discussed the naval sit
uation in all its bearings with Secre
tary Daniels and Admiral Benson,
and that "complete unity of view"
had been reached.
"It is with Mr. Daniels' full con
currence that I now make this state
ment that there is no greater serv
ice that can be rendered by the
civilians of the United States to
day charged with that privilege and
duty, than to expedite the output of
destroyers and anti-submarine craft
and appliances of every description,"
Sir Eric said.
America Responds.
"No country within my knowledge
responds like America to an appeal
and there is no greater need today
than the need for the utmost naval
effort against the great offensive of
the submarine which is now material
izing and which the allied navies will
defeat as they have defeated every
other effort of the enemy. But that
defeat can be assured only if this
need is recognized and the wants of
the two navies supplied, as I am sure
the United States and Great Brit
ain intend they shall be."
Discussing Germany's submarine
menace. Sir Eric said:
"Indeed it is greater today than
it ever was. That is to say. the
effort is greater than it ever was.
I think now we are approaching a
point where submarine warfare is
again the weakest front of the al
liance." Sir Eric reviewed British naval
losses, declaring his country's losses
in fighting ships of all classes have
been anproximately 230 "more than
twice the total losses of war vessels
oc the whole of our allies," and that
450 auxiliary craft, such as mine
sweepers and trawlers, also have
been destroyed. British merchant
ships to the number of 2,400. with
a gross tonnage of nearly 7.750.000
have been sunk, he said, or "nearly
three times the aggregate losses' of
our allies and 50 per cent more than
the total losses of all other allied
and neutral countries. j
W.iile British and American sea
forces in all theaters of naval fight-
!ing are a homeogenous navy, Sir
uric aaoea, tne sarety or lines oi
communication should not be taken
for granted. "Germany is not
beaten, and in some respects is
stronger than ever she was," he
warned, regarding the enemy's naval
situation. "Should the German naval
policy be changed by force, of cir
cumstances or by a spirit of ad
venture, which it has so far failed
to show, it will be met and if it
means to fight, that fight will be a
naval armageddon in which your
magnificent battleships, with the
grand fleet will, I am sure, take a
worthy and distinguished part."

W. J. Taylor of Merna
Breaks Away From the
"Slave" Democrats
Mr. Edgar Howard recently came
out in public and charges Nebraska
has two kinds of democrats, the
bound and the free, or as he puts
it, the "slave" and the "free." He
says that democrats who are fol
lowing the well-oiled democratic
machine run by Arthur Mullen in
the interest of Senator Hitchcock
and Governor Neville are slaves
and it is up to the ones who are
opposed to the machine to or
ganize under the name of "free dem
ocrats," and ditch the machine.
Democrats of Lincoln are already
beginning to break away from the
machine, and the move promises to
become statewide.; They say that
they are ready to don the banner
of freedom and go forth to battle
in so good a cause that the grand
party of democracy may be forever
taken from the oppression of slav
ery and shine forth like a newly
decked bride in all her beauty.
The following is a copy of a
night letter to Edgar Howard, sen'
by W. J. Taylor of Merna, which
shows that the trend is growing and
that Mr. Taylor is in sympathy
with the above-ment;oed freedom
The telegram is as follows: "Call
that conference at once. A real win-the-war,
Wilson democrat can't
nossibly or consistently support the
Hitchcock-Mullen machine. I am
the democratic nominee for state
senator, bu'. if to win I must stifle
in silence my convictions, the
price is too great."
