Emperor william and, the King OF
Italy are at the breaking point.
Probably the most powerful incen-
tive to war is the violent attitude OF
the people. 1t Is not too much to say
that Italy faces a revolution II she
refuses much longer to fight Austria.
Dispatches from Rome give details o.
many riots In which the police ana
soldiers reprcssci the people only with
the greatest difIiculty. Such riots are
i'm progress over all the Kingdom.
The ancient hatred for Austria has
famed forth.
There Is news by telegraph and man
that the situation in italy Ia intensely
critical, and that italy, while endeas-
oring to cling tenaciously and honor
ably to absolute neutrality, is fast
beingbeing swept into war. The planes
of her statesmen are falling to pieces
and the time is said to be periously
near.
One OF the most powerful factors
in the situation is the host OF unem-
ployed who turned away from closing
factories, swell the mobs of malcon-
tents in the great cities. and cry un-
ceasingiy for war. At the outbreak
of hostilitfes there was little unemploy
ment. Now the problem is distressing.

PARIS HEARS KAISER is
ANXIOUS FOR PEACE

Paris, Sept, 1.-THE Matin says
this morning:
at was rumored In Paris Tuesday
evening that General Won Kluck and
General Buelow had received orders
from the kaiser not to oppose the
French armies, the rumor adding
that the kaiser was touched to the
heart by the pope's words in favor of
peace. and that the kaiser is ready to
seek, anywhere from the vatican to
New York. support against the allies
repeated declaration that they will
not make peace because Germany de-
mands 1t, but when the allies are pre-
pared to grant 1t"
The Matin adds: The crown
princes flight Is another confession
that the hour was badly chosen and
shows Germany and the world that
the heir to te throne places care for
is own safety above every considera-
ton. 1t Is possible that the kaiser Is
inclined to make some proposition to
the allies for an armistice. probably
to President Wilson,"

I. R. DENIES ne
IS OUT Of RACE
SAYS HE HAS NEVER DISCUSSED
1915 CANfPAIGN-MAINE RE-
SUIT EXPECTED.

New York, Sept. 17.--Colonel
Roosevelt started on his two weeks
invasion of the Middle West this even
ing, leaving the New York Bull
Moosers alone in their fight to get
Frederick Nj. Davenport and not Will
liam Sulzer nominated in the pri-
maries. The colonel left the city with
out parting word about the situa-
ton here. but he denied the report
that diverse disappointments had
caused him to abandon all ambitions
as presidential candidate In 1915.
AS matter OF fact, Colonel .Roose-
welt said today that he had never dis
cussed running for president In 1916.
Whatever hts aspirations may be. he
IS not saying anything about them at
this time. OF the published report
that he had told friends within the
past few dayS that he had given up
hope of 1915. the colonel said:
THE report II absolutely without
foundation in fact and those who pub
lish It know 1t. I have not discussed
1916"
The story to which the colonel had
reference was to the effect that a
series OF political disappointment
had filed his cup OF bitterness to
overlooking and that the Maine cleo
tion had been the most recent disap-
pointment. Colonel Roosevelt said
today that ths result Of the Maine
election was expected. All that the
Progresivea could hope for there, he
said, was the defeat OF the Republican
candidate, and that they achieved.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED By THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. 10.-Special: Be-
yond the fact that the allied French,
British and Belgian forces are taking
the offensive little has been made
public regarding the operations in
Belgium and northern France. The
French official communication says
that the Germans are particularly
active in the region of Ypres, but
that they have achieved nothing and
that everywhere else on the Aisne
the allies are holding their ground.
To the northeast of scissors, how
ever, the allies have made rather no
table progress in gaining the Vregny
plateau, on which they had not pre-
viously been able to gain a foothold.
In the eastern field of the war, ac-
cording to an official report, the Rus
slams have made decided progress
against the Germans and Austrians,
and Russian cavalry have penetrated
German territory. Likewise, the
Russians have driven back the rear
guard of the Austrian forces along
the Nida river in Poland and Galicia
and are carrying out a strong offens-
i've movement. 1t is indicated by the
official report that they have cap
tured more than 1900 soldiers, in
Guiding 1875 officers, in recent engage
ments on the San river.
A newspaper dispatch estimates
that about 100000 Austrian and
German troops are on the line from
Cracow in Galicia TO Thorn. East
Prussia. Earl Kitchener predicts that
the forces of the allies would result
in a final crushing defeat of the
enemy.
A cruiser of the Breslau class, for
merly owned by Germany and now
attached to the Turkish navy, has
bombarded the seaport of Poti, on
the Black sea. Little damage was
done and the fire of the Russians
drove off the cruiser.
German reports say that Emperor
William and his generals have deter
mined a new plan of campaign.
Advices from Warsaw say tina,
twenty-one persons have been killet
there in the past few days by bombs
dropped from German aeroplanes.
Using Tau, in the German conces-
sion of Kiao Chow, will be formally
surrendered to the japanese and
British on Nov. 10.

HIGH FINANCE
Omaha Telephone Girl Tells of Her
Experience with Loan Agency.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 10.-The story
of how alleged loan sharks worked q
poor telephone girl, through ignor.
ance of their methods, Is told in an
equity petition filed in district court
Friday by Rosewater & Cotner, at
torneys for Hazel Jacobson, 2464
South Seventeenth street.
According to Miss J~acobson's allie
cations, she went to the Guarantee
Loan company, 314 Karbach block,
a year ago, and borrowed S25. II
was to be paid back in six monthly
installments of $3.50 each or $50 in
all. She managed to meet four OF
the payments. a total of $40, but was
unable to make the other two.
Then, she alleges, the manager OF
the loan company, Joseph j. Doogan,
induced her to sign a second note for
$25. The company kept $13 of the
money to her former obligation
and paid her $12. She was to paw
back the second loan like the first, in
six payments of $3.50 each, or $39
again. She says she has paid four
of them, or s26.
WV oithouEH sue has received
only s37 from the company, and has
paid back $50, she declares in her
petition that the company claims s13
is still due it. She asserts that Doc
gan has filed an assignment of her
wages with the telephone company,
making it impossible for her to draw
her November pay check, and that he
threatens punishment proceedings.
