" Republicans, When They Take
Ovei State Offices, Are
to Be Faced by Some
Treasury Deficits.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 1. (Special)
--Some people are beginning to
worry for fear the next legislature
il going to be an expensive affair,
that appropriations will run above
those of previous sessions and that
s a consetpjence the democrats will
have sufficient grounds to go before
the voters in 1920 and get back in
power.
A republican legislature has never
shirked responsibility. The growing
needs or the state, coupled with the
fact that past democratic adminis
trations and democratic legislatures
have put economy above efficiency,
lias lett the coming republican legis
lature with the task of making up
what the democrats of the past four
years , have refused to appropriate
funds to carry out, so that while
there will be but few democrats in
the nextlegislature, the democratic
party must stand " equal responsi
bility for higher appropriations.
v Deficiency in Sight.
In the first place the incoming
legislature is going to find many
departments in the condition of Old
Mother Hubbard's' cupboard when
she went to get her poor dog a
' bone empty. Not only empty, but
with a deficiency which must be met
at once. One department already
figures that it will be more than
$150,000 in the hole by the time the
I tt n rt ti ii neat tnl t a 1 i r t r
y i-M vii ii imii v iujv. j a 1 1 vi 1 1 n in lsv us
I the legislature to meet this.
, Next wiircome the need of an ap
propriation of $1,000,000 to meet a
like amount from the government to
carry on the good roads work. The
000. The coming session will Ha.ve
to add $360,000 to that.
Vocational education is going to
call for a nice sum to meet the gov
ernment aid. The last legislature
started with the small sum of $20,-
000 hut thU v!nn will ht railed
upon to raise $100,000 and possibly
$150,000.
To Assist Agriculture.
There is going to be appropria
tions ro assist agriculture, ine
coming session is going to enact
some legislation favorable to agri
culture, and this will take some
money. All of the state institutions
are going to need more money, not
only to make up the deficiency
which will exist in many of them,
but to provide for their growing
needs.
Thanks to the efficient work-of
State Treasurer George E. Hall,
who persisted in running his depart
ment in a business way, whether his
. political associates liked it or not,
the treasury is in pretty good shape.
Treasurer Hall has been able to pay
cverv state warrant nun tic nis term
of!&ffice when it was presented for
payment, while state fund deposits
in banks, through the effbrts of Mr.
Hall, are drawing five per cent in
stead of three per cent. This has
brought into the treasury something
'.ike $25,000 additional.
Should the coining legislature de
cide to start a fund for the building
of a new state house at some future
date, this, too, will add to the ap
propriations and it is altogether
likely that the appropriations for
the next two years will mount up
considerably.
Governor's Mansion
Likely to Be Without
Any Official Tenant
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 1. (Special.)
The state o1 Nebraska is liable to
have a mansion on its hands after
January 9, it being understood that
.Governor-elect McKelvie won't oc
cupy the state white house but will
- continue to reside in his own home,
a very spacious and beautiful prop
erty known as "Seven Gables" in
.1. . . t A. " . . . i lift C iL
tine east pari 01 inc tuy ai iw ouuiu
Twenty-sixth street. The house has
20 very nicely furnished rooms and
the governor and his wife would
really seem like going back to the
days of their antideluvian ancestors
.in moving into a house so far behind
their own in architectural style and
modern improvements.
What will become of the mansion?
Generally when the governor doesn't
occupy the house it goes to the
lieutenant governor, but he too has
a little htfme of his own and would
not care to rattle around in the big
building, so it will be up to the state
to find some suitable tenant during
the time Governor McKelvie is itt
office, which will probably be four
years, at least
The mansion is a big building and
some people are suggesting that now
is the time to start building a new
state house, for the mansion across
the street from the state house
x grounds can be utilized for most of
the offices during theitime the struc
ture is being erected. The inside of
the mansion needs going over any
way and this work could be left
until the new state house is built
and then it could be fixed up as It
should be.

Ex-Kaiser Tries to Put Blame
For War-to Other Shoulders
By Associated Press.
Copenhagen, Dec. 1. Further
revelations showing that former
Emperor William of Germany is
seeking to escape responsibility for
bringing on the war are contained
in an article by Dr. George Weg
ener, appearing in the Cologne Ga
zette, recounting a conversation
which the writer had with the em
peror just before he ttled. In this
interview the emperor attempted to
shift the blame for the world con
flict to the shoulders of Dr. Theo
bald von Bethmann-Hollweg, for
mer imperial chancellor, and Gott
lieb von Jagow, former minister of
foreign affairs.
"Against my will they sent me to
Norway," William is quoted as hav
ing said. "I did not wish to under
take the voyage because the gravity
of the situation arising from the
murder of Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand was clear at first sight. But
the chancellor said to me:
" 'Your majesty must take this
voyage in order to maintain peace.
If your majesty remains here, it
undoubtedly means war and the
world will lay 'to your charge re
sponsibility for this war.'
"Well, I then undertook the voy
age. During all this time I received
110 reports from my government
concerning current events. Strictly
speaking, I only learned from Nor
wegian newspapers of what was oc
curring in the world and in this
way I learned of the Russian mobi
lization measures.
"But when I heard that the Brit
ish fleet had put to sea, I returned
of my own accord. They had nearly
caught me. On my orders, German
ships at once returned to the secur
ity of Norwegian harbors. Later it
would not have been possible for
them to do so."
The emperor then mentioned
declarations of Gen. W. A. Souk
homlinoff, Russian minister of war,
during the investigations which oc
curred afterward, which he later al
tered to the statement that he had
not ordered real mobilization but
only readiness for mobilization. The
emperor, however, insisted on the
correctness of the first declaration,
according Ho which the czar had
been induced by the kaiser to recall
his order to form mobilization. He
declared that Gen. Nicholas Jan
uschkevitch, chief of the Russian im
perial general staff, deceived the czar
and the order was carried out in
spite of him. This mobilization, the
kaiser would have it, was the final
reason for the war.
"In fact," said the kaiser in end
ing the interview, "Russian troops
were already over our frontier be
fore the war was declared."

Judge Tells Wife That
Snoring is Not a Crime
In the discription of her husband's
frailties Mrs. Sophia Lellinger in
formed the domestic relations court
that he snored. Now this isn't nec
essarily a cause for divorce or sepa
ration or even alimony in the eyes
of the law, although a jury of wfc
men might decree otherwise.
Consequently the magistrate in
formed Mrs. Lellinger that snoring
need not be included in the category
of crimes attributed to her husband
since it wasn't essentially vicious.
i3ut here the spouse broke in:
"But you don't know Jim's snorin'
or you wouldn't say that, judge. I
know that there's nice, gentleman
like snorin', and then there's Jim's
brand. Honest, judge, when he gets
started off well, it sounds like he's
tearing up white oak." New York

DEFENSE BODY
OF THE NATION
MAKESREPORT
Council Shows How Its Work
Has Beep Well Done and
Productive of Good
Results,
Washington, Dec. 2. The second
annual report of the Council of Na
tional Defense tells the story of a
very large part of the government's
activities in the war of a nonmilitary
character. The report is made by
W. S. Gifford, director of the
council.
At the end of the period covered
by the report,Mr. Gifford points
out, the work of initial mobilization,
the main task which the council un
dertook in the emergency, was large
ly completed. The council set out
to act as a connecting link between
the nation in its normal state and
the nation as a machine for making
war. This transition period past, the
council's role as a main link in the
war government naturally became
less active, though it continued to
perform functions of a most vital
and necessary nature, especially
through the great council of defense
system, made up of state, county,
municipal and community organiza
tions, reaching practically every
hamlet in the country.
Many Ramifications.
A perusal of the report shows that
the council served as a nucleus for
innumerable new functions and rela
tions which the war made necessary
and for which no administrative
agency existed at the outbreak of
the conflict. Some of these, after be
ing initiated and partially developed
by the council, were passed on to
existing executive departments; for
some the council created new agen
cies, either acting under its juris
diction or given separate jurisdic
tion, by executive order, or congres
sional act.
Perhaps the best example of the
latter case was the War Industries
board, whose work was begun bv
and developed by the council and
was separated from it only on May
28, last. Other tasks which received
their initial impulse from the coun
cil were: the food conservation pro
gram, aircraft prgram, war labor ad
ministration, housing, and many
functions supplementary to those of
the regular departments such as
those involved in the .storage, ship
ping, transportation, fuel and medi
cal problems.
In saying that the date of the for
mal separation of 4he War Industries
board from the Council of National
Defense marked the virtual end of
the council's task in planning emer
gency machinery to meet new war
functions, the director points out
that this in no way diminishes the
usefulness of the work which re
mains under the council's organiza
tion. National Spirit.
The report emphasizes that in
mobilizing America's material re
sources for the government, the
council has at the same time been
vitally concerned in the mobilization
of the national spirit In the effort
the council has been aided particu
larly by the organizations under the
state councils section with its state,
county, municipal and community
councils numbering well over 100,
000 at the date of the report.
Through these local agencies, acting
with the local agencies of the wo
man's committee of the councils the
government has been able to bring
home to every section of the country
in a way possible only to local agen
cies the meaning' of its policies and
the opportunities for individual serv
ice in the war.
The other branches of the council
still active at the -date of the report
were the committee of labor, com
mittee on engineering and education,
medical section and general medical
board, highways transport commit
tee, national research council acting
as the department of science and re
search of the council, and the naval
consulting board, acting as a com
mittee on inventions.

Steel Company Soon
to Build Tractors
Now Under Contract
Peace conditions will not bring
a cessation of activity to the Omaha
Structural Steel company, which
had been working on some large
war contracts.
Just before war conditions com
pelled the drafting of the steel com
pany, that corporation had received
a contract from the Square Turn
tractor company to turn out 1,000
tractors. Of course Uncle Sam was
given' the right of way on the output
of the company and the work of
turning out the tractors was more
or less delayed by the urgent neces
sity of speeding up war work.
With federal contracts out of the
way the company can now go ahead
with its large order for the tractors
and turn out the number called for
in the initial contract.
It is thought that the building of
these tractors will develop into one
of the most important branches of
the steel company's work and will
ultimately call for more factory
space and increased equipment.
