Nebraska Republicans are a re-
sourceful lot of politicians. Their
primary laws permit wide freedom OF
action, and to this is due the petition
to put Justice Hughes's name on the
ballot. The justice has promptly or
dered his name withdrawn. But,
nothing daunted. group OF Nebras-
la petitioners are now trying to put
Mayor Thompson, Of Chicago. on the
ballot. In his home state, Mayor
Thompson is believed to be for Sen
ator Sherman, and it would be indeed
curious if he should turn up in the
convention as Nebraska's "favorite
son."

secretary lays special emphasis upon
the demanded expenditure for ma
tional defense-which he sets at
about $4,000. 000-and shapes his
course accordingly.
Now. let us suppose that the last
Republican administration had been
confronted with similar problem on
the corresponding day. That Is TO

Der IS. 1911. the year before the last
presidential election. the Republicans
had had to provide for $4,000. 900
OF defense money-what could they
have done?
They could have paid for it out OF
the treasury surplus. which then
amounted to s129.7S7.547. 81 with
out lcvying single dollar OF new
taxes. They would have shown an
increasing treasury balance, until a
year later. they would have had more
than SIS. 100000 OF surplus on hand.
And this result would not have been
produced by any legerdemain OF
bookkeeping.

 In a few weeks the manufacture of beer will be a very doubtful matter The home supplies will soon be ex hausted, and since they cannot renew the output will soon decline or cease altogether.

NEW YORk.--Nehement denial is made in the kolnsche Zeitung of d re- port published with equal gusto in the Paris Figaro that the German beer supply was endangered by the war, and that the nation of beer drinkers was doomed speedily to d trough in it's favorite beverage
 The Figaro's article quoted in the Mannheim General Anzeiger said:
 Germany has been suffering under the weight of dreadful announcement, which weighs more heavily upon it's morale than even the slowness of the war it is being threatened with a blow in it's beer supply.
 Tn fact, it's beer is in danger; barley bids fair to forsake the German farm CTS For the annual output of it's brown or yellow beverage Germany needs 3,0O0,O00 million tons of barley.

British Minister of Munitions in Pre-.
FACE of Books Declares Allies Must
Put Forth All Their Strength
to Win.

London, Sept. 14.-That the Central
Powers still have an overwhelming
superiority in all the material and
equipment Of war, and that the allies
to win must put forth all their strength
is the statement made by David Lloyd
George, minister of munitions, in the
preface of a book containing his
speeches since the outbreak of the
war, entitled Through Terror to Tri-
umph."
After twelve months of war" says
Mr.. Lloyd-George, my conviction is
stronger than ever that this country
could not have kept out of it without
imperilling it's security and it's honor.
We could not have looked on cynicGlly
with folded arms while a country we
had given our word to protect was be-
ing ravaged, trodden on by one Of our
own co-trustees. If British women
and children were being brutally de-
stroyed on the high seas by German
submarines this nation would have in
sisted Oh calling the infanticide em-
pire to a stern reckoning.
Menace to Civilization.
Everything that has happened
since the declaration of war has clear
ly demonstrated that a military sys-
tenn so REGARDLESS of good faith, honor
able obligations and the elementary
impulses Of humanity constitutes a
menace to civilization Of the most
sinister character, and, despite the
terrible cost of suppressing it, the
w~ell-being of humanity demands that
such a system should be challenged
and destroyed.
The fact that events also have
shown that the might of this military
clique has exceeded the gloomiest
representations provides an addition
al argument for its destruction.
Nor have the untoward incidents
of the war weakened my faith in Ill
innate victory, always provided that
the nations put forth the whole of
their strength ere it is too late. Any
thing less must lead to defeat. The al
lied countries have an overwhelming
preponderance in TIE raw material

cry, but this material has to be mobi-

Fail to Realize Enemy's Strength.
ut would be idle to pretend that
the first II months of the war have
seen this task accomplished satisfac-
torily. Had the allies realized in time
the full strength of their r%edoubtable
and resourceful foes; nay. what is
more, had they realized their W
strength and resources and taken
prompt action to organize them, today
We should have witnessed the tri-
umphant spectacle of their guns pour
ing out a stream of shot and shell
which would have deluged the German

Now Assured, Says Department
of Agriculture.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Bumper crops
this year, with a half dozen new pro-.
duction records now seem assured.
Business predictions on a canvass
made Sept. / by its thousands of
agents throughout the United States.
the department of agriculture has just
issued forecasts showing the prospects
of practically all the principal farm
crops except potatoes and rice improv-
ed during August.
The wheat crop is placed at $751;
600, 900 bushels, 90,000,0 900 more than
last years crop record. Wet weather
has damaged winter wheat and delay
ed threshing. In Kansas not more
than half the crop has been threshed.
Additional inquiries by crop report
ers this month, however, resulted in
the crop reporting board making no
change in its August prediction Of
$50. 000, 900 bushels of winter wheat.
