Miller, in charee of the Omaha marine corps mobiliza tion station said: Out-of-town men must come to Omaha to pass the physical exami nations. The Omaha station is the only one in the state and this sta tion can accept men from any part of this state and from southern Iowa. Men living in the extreme southern part of Nebraska and the state of Kansas can take the re quired examinations at tle marine station in Kansas City. Out-of-town men must pay their own expenses to the mobilization station when they come to the same vfor physical examination. The draft boards furnish transportation and subsist ence when the man is ac cepted and his induction into the marines completed. "I advise out-of-town men to first have their local doctor pass on their physical condition, as by so doing they take less chance of going to the expense of coming to Omaha for physical examinations and fail ing to pass the same., On the ex aminations here depends a man's acceptance for the marine corps," said Sergeant Miller. Coal Outlook Encouraging, is Report of Trade Paper Thi American" Coal Journal, New York and Chicago, says: "The bi tumiious coal markeNis soft and prices rather, easy in nearly all parts of the country.

Anthracite production has declined 240,000 tons for the week and wages have been advanced $1 a day, making this marPet strong and unless the wage increase can be absorted in other ways the in creased cost ad decreased output may be reflected in higher prices. The outlook for the winter, withal, is encouraging, as stocks in con sumers' and dealers' hands average 88 per cent better than ' last year and comprise 51 per cent ot the win ter supply.

We may still look for some little trouble in bringing Germany to her senses, but witl Austria definitely out of the war and with Italy's veteran legions free to throw themselves against Ger many, either on the French front or by wounding her side through Bavaria, we ought not to be long in convincing the Teutons of the fu tility of further resistance. "We may calmly look to the fu ture and face it and say: "'At last the world again is to know the blessinc of neace. Safe guarded by President Wilson's im mortal principles, we will be able to settle down and recover from the effects of this war without the con stant threat of another conflagra tion hanging over our- heads.

It is as sumed that since then the debt has reached 7,000,000,000. On June 23 last, the Reichstag adopted a vote of credit of 15,000,000,000 marks, which it was then declared would raise Germany's war debt to 139,000,000,000 marks, or nearly 7,000,000,000.

That this figure is approaching Germany's limitation in the war is indicated by remarks made from time to time Dy authorities in Ger many. Appeals for Support. Amsterdam, Nov. 6.

The manifesto says: "The burden of the present time is weighing heavily on the world and the German nation. We must overcome these hard days and their consequences. "We must begin working for the happier times to which 'the Ger man na.ion has a right. The new government is engaged on this im portant work. Equal suffrage is assured in Prussia. The new gov ernment is made up of representa tives of the majority parties in the Reichstag. Military Subject To Chancellor. "The military administration has been placed under the responsibil ity of the imperial chancellor, a far-reaching amnesty has been granted, and the freedom of the press and the' right of aseemlly have been guaranteed. There still remains, however, much to do. "One of our most important tasks is economic reconstruction so that soldiers and sailors returning hotfie from the front may find the possi bility of assuring existence for them selves and their families All large associations of employers have de clared themselves ready to re-employ immediately their former em ployes and workmen now servir.g the colors.
