Austro-Hungarian Troops in

By Associated Press.
Miver a front of 60 miles from the

Austro-Hungarians are being vio
lently attacked by Italian, British.
French and American troops.
In the "mduii tain region the enemy

columns in dense masses, which are
-in retreat over fthe badly congested
j . roads leading eastward toward the
Austrian trotuier. '-.
Judging, the situation from the
rapid advance the. allies are making
it, would appear that the entire ene
my front has been broken east of
. the Piave and that with the cavalry
operating far in advance of the foot1
troops the. enemy forces will be un
able to reform their battle line until
the, Austrian border is reached.' It
is'not unlikly that many of the

capture by the allies.

the infantry activity. Along the

tack on a front of about seven and
t a half miles between Stv Quentin,
' Lepetit anil Herpy, in the general
direction of- the enemy's communi
cation lines running eastward from
- the old St. Quentin and Laon sectors
and also with the purpose of driv
ing a wedge into this pat of the

compelling the enemy to readjust
his front through Champagne to the

WAR WILL END IN

SENATOR LODGE
Republican Leader Declares
This Is Not Time for Par
ley; Deplores Wilson's
Partisan Appeal.
Lynn, Mass., Oct. 30. Express
ing the opinion that the war could
last but a few weeks longer, Henry
Cabot Lodge, republican leader in
the United States senate, declared
at a political rally here tonight that
the. present was no time for parley
and that Americanism, not republi
can or democrats, must prevail.
After dissecting the 14 articles for
peace set forth by President Wijson,
Senator Lodge called on Ameri
cans to stand fast, by the ideals for
which this nation' entered the war,
which in his opinion was for the
maintenance of the freedom of civ
ilization and was to be accomplish
ed only when Germany was beaten
down like Bulgaria and. in a position
where she could neve?" break out
in the world again. He deplored
the action of President Wilson in
calling for democratic support in'
congress. It had not only divided
the country heretofore united, he
said, but had tended to make the
war a party war. No policy had
been .announced, Mr. Lodge assert
ed, for which democratic support
was asked.

AGREEMENT OF

PEACE IH SIGHT

haps the most influential man in the

strong behind the screens and

Hope for Wilson's Mediation.
The greatest hope of the old
guard 'in Germany, judging from
German papers, appears to drive a
wedge between President Wilson
and the allies and make the presi
dent play mediator, instead of bel
ligerent. The Frankfort Zeitung says:
"If the alliesinsist upon such dis
armament terms as to make further
(German resistance impossible , not
only Germany,, but he (President
Wilson) would disappear from
among the factors whfch are decisive
for conclusion of peace.
. "His own position as world arbiter
depend sole.ly on whether 'Ger
many's military power at least is
worth so much that it cannot be
forced to surrender without the help
of the American forces."
The article concludes by cleverly
trying to make it appear that the
president s role is now linked with
that of Germany, by saying that
such a position as outlined, his role
would be played out if he did not
commence war against the allies.
Indignant at, Andrassy.
A German wireless dispatch
picked up1 here tonight says the
German national party at yester
day's sitting expressed profound in
dignation at Count Andrassy, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
making an offer to President Wilson
to negotiate a separate peace, with
out consulting the German gov
ernment or the representatives of
the German executive committees.
In the Reichstag the dispatch
adds, Count Andrassy's action
caused dismay and anger, it being
declared( it was ' not necessary, as
the situation was assuming a form
under which co-operation with Ger
many would be possible.
The wireless also says that ad
vices from Budapest were to the
effect that on instructions of the
Hungarian government the gov
ernor surrendered Fiume out of
consideration of the small number
that of Germany, by saying that in
the town council was dissolved and
all the authorities ceased their
functions. The dispatch adds that
the fate of Fiume will be decided in
the peace conference.
Relief Reflected in Press.
Amsterdam, Oct. 30. The princi
pal topic of comment in German
newspapers received here are the
resignation of General Ludendorff,
chief commissary, and Austria's ac
tivity for a separate peace.
Austria's action was received with
some signs of resentment but at
the same time with a certain sense
oj relief, as clearing thex situation
and leaving Germany free to act
in its own interest. '
Bolsnevik Butts In.
Amsterdam, Oct. 30. Russian For
eign Minister Tchitcherin addressed
a note to President Wilson on
October 24, according to Petrograd
newspapers, saying:
"As a condition of the armistice,
during which peace 'negotiations
shall begin, you in your note to
Germany demanded the evacuation
of occupied territories. We are
ready, Mr. President, to conclude
an armistice on this condition and
request you to inform us when you
intend to withdraw your troops
from the Murman, Archangel and
Siberia."
To Deal Direct.
London, Oct. 3ft. Count An
drassy, the Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, has resolved to initi
ate directpeace negotiations with
Italy, "Austria's sole antagonist,"

WAR PRISONERS
ILLTREATED IN
GERMAN CAMPS
Conditions Unspeakable, Says
British Home Secretary
in Address to House
, of Commons,
i
London, Oct. 30. (British Wire
less Service Germany has fla
grantly broken the rules of interna
tional law in her treatment of Brit
ish prisoners of war, declared Sir
George Cave, thqf British home sec
retary, in discussing the question of
prisoners of war in the House of
Commons yesterday. Some of the
German internment camps, he said,
were reasonably well organized, but
there were other camps where con
ditions were almost unspeakable.
' These things were going on today
and the evidence the government
had obtained from lately returned
prisoners was very much on the
same lines as previously. Working
parties of British prisoners were
beaten, tortured and made tp work
when they were ill. v
Sir George believed that if any
armistice was reached the govern
ment would take steps to see that
one of the primary conditions would
be that all prisoners of war in enemy
countries would be immediately and
unconditionally released. He added:
"It will do no good' to talk to the
people who do these things. We
have got to take them by the neck
and the throat if we can, and punish
ihem s.o that it will be an example
or generations to come."
Country Inflamed.
The topic was forced on the
house by a strong public demand"
for light on the circumstances of
what is termed German blackmail
in refusing to ratify an agreement
for equitable exchange of prisoners
unless the British con'sented to give
guarantees aganst deportation of
Germans from China. 1
Captain Craig, member of the
house, an exchanged prisoner, told
with emotion of his experiences in
German prison camps. , '
Sir George Cave gave authentic
details of wholesale deaths of
British soldiers, kept ragged, starv
ing and verminous and compelled
to Work long hours in salt mines
and under fire at the front, con
trary to rules of the Hague con
vention, beaten and tortured and
shot for petty or no offenses. '
Old parliamentary reporters say
they have vnever seen such bitter
and strong feeling pervade the
House of Commons. The same
feeling has infected the whole coun
try. The only group of members
who held aloof was a handful of
pacifists, who appear to object to
any unpleasant words about Ger
many mofe than they object to the
war.

Saturday, Nov. 2.
Blankets and Comforters are
very scarce for the reason that

nearly all that was available for
the use of both the boys that

wh.en they secured three big lots
of splendid high . grade com
forters and three big lots of very
select wool Knap Blankets.
The contract price for this big
purchase was very low consider
ing the present market condi

the entire purchase on special
sale for one day only at less than
present wholesale prices. Come
to the big sale expecting extra
ordinary values and you will not
be disappointed .and as always

and that its will for peace is simply
tempored by a natural disposition
to get the best terms possible short
of unconditional surrender.
The report that Count Andrassy,
the new Austrian premier, is about
to sue directly to Italy for peace
on trie ground that Italy is Aus
tria's "sole antagonist" is generally
regarded as confirmatory of this
understanding of the hopeless situ
ation in the dual empire.
One comparatively new proposi
tion relates to guarantees to be ex
acted from Germany for repayiatnt
of tremendous financial losses suf
fered by populations of those por
tions of 3elgium and France oc
cupied by German troops.
It is understood to contemplate
possession by entente powers of
important industrial cities in the
Rhine country and of products of
mines and soils therein until com
pensation has been made. Thus
Germany would depend on entente
powers for any iron and coal or man
ufactured products she might have
to draw from that territory.

German squadron knovfn as the
"traveling circus," also appeared at
different parts of the front. s The
airplanes were painted in bright col

Tl TB
OF OEBRASRA
The most important question before the Voters of Nebraska
at the coming election is the choice of a United States Senator.
This is true because the senate will have to deal with a treaty of
peace and because it will also have to formulate, policies for the
era of peace that follows.
We believe the tremendous issues involved warrant us in ap
pealing to the voters of Nebraska to join us tn the support of '
George W. Norris for re-election. We address ourselves not only
to republicans but to all others who wish to have a real represen
tative in the United Spates Senate. ' " 1 .
The democratic "machine" is declaring for the election of the
democratic nominee largely, if not solely, for the reason that it
wishes to keep its grip on the politics of the state and to perpetu
ate itself. It is offering little or nothing as f 0 the qualifications
of its candidate or the place, knowing that at best he will be little
more than a rubber stamp.'
On the other hand Senator Norris is clearly and conspicuously
a part of no machine. Neither has he ever taken orders from po
litical bosses or been unduly influenced by big interests. He hat
always been a student of economics and has always kept close to
the people whose servant he has been. He has openly and firmly ;
stood for prohibition, equal suffrage and similar progressive moral
measures when his opponent was openly opposing them or secretly
dodging them. t
Senator Norris may not always have voted"? war measures as
we would now have had him do. But no one can question his loy
alty or his sincerity. We doubt if any man would be willing to
make greater 'sacrifices in behalf of his country. He is loyal
through and through. There are many who are using the flag as a
screen to hide profiteering. They would see destroyed the democ
racy for which we fight before they would quit their plundering
or surrender their privileges, all of which has been denounced by
Senator Norris. He has always been ready to turn the search
light on every transaction that might shelter a job. -
An effort is being made by the democratic machine to de- '
ceive the voters concerning the attitude of the republican party
toward Senator Norris. It is seeking to create division, but the
republican organizations of the state, as well as the rank and file
of the party, are behind Senator Norris. And what is of only a
little less importance is that thousands of democrats who are what
they call themselves "free democrats," are going to support, him.
The honest, self-respecting democrats, disgusted with the machine
methods of their own party, are plainly tallying to the support of
Senator Norris. These forces standing shoulder to shoulder for
the common good can give Senator Norris and the whole repub
lican ticket an overwhelming majority. We appeal to the voters
of Nebraska to this end.
