WORKMEN PAYING
LITTLE FOR PAPER
y. A. HuSe Says Order Gives Less
for Publication Of Official
Organ Than Other Societies.
EXAMINERS SHOW TINS TO BE SO

n A. Huse Of Norfolk, editor Of the
Nebraska Workman, the official organ
81 the Ancient order Of United Work
men OF Nebraska, who vas in Omaha
during the day. said that Il was unfor-
tunate that the state Insurance commits
sion issued an erroneous official state
ment concerning the price paid by the
Ancient order Of United workmen for
its publication.
IL would have been less unfortunate,
be said, II the mistake had not occurred
on the eve OF the grand lodge. where II
vas used in O political way.
The state insurance commissioner gave
out statement that the Nebraska Work
man was costing the order Il cents a
COPY. which would amount to $40 a thous-
and copies. or s5.0o0 a month.
The truth OF the matter IL. as was
established at the recent grand lodge
session." said Mr.. Huse. that the Ne
braska Workman IL costing only IL cents
copy, or si1.20 per thousand copies.
which is the lowest price being paid for
any official lodge publication that the
state Insurance commissioner office was
able to locate. Some other orders. the
commissioner admitted, are paying as
high as cents a copy. OF 80 thousand"
When the insurance departments at
tention was called 70 the error the com
missioner corrected the misstatement by
saying that the examiners had quoteo the
price per year instead OF the price pei
copy and that. IN fact the price per copy
is ~ cents. and that this IL lower than
the cost OF other similar publications.. the
price m many cases being cents per
copy or higher.

The Mexican Trouble.

The effort of the United States
government to induce the leaders
of the several factions in Mexico
to get together and talk over
peace terms has not so far been
successful. Carranza has SO far
paid little or no attention to
these suggestions, and it is now
presumed that the other factions
will attempt to arrive at some
agreement. The situation in
Mexico City is reported as quiet,
though it is probable that there
is considerable suffering among
the poorer classes throughout a
considerable portion of the cour-
try. Troops along the border
towns of Naco and Nogales have
not made the threatened attacks.
The instructions Of Presidel t
Wilson to Gen. Funston in CON-
mand OF the American troops On
the border to repel any firing in
to American territory is expected
to have a salutary effect in hold
ing the Mexicans in check.
Fighting between the Villa ard
Carranza forces at Monterrey is
said to have resulted in the loss
of 1000 killed Oh both sides. -
The reinstatement Of the arm s
embargo is presumed to be a step
which will be taken by the Unit
ed States within q few days.

The War in Europe.

The German army is still ham,
mering at the gates Of Warsaw,
and while a week ago the fall of
the Polish capital seemed a mat
ter Of a few days at most, the
Russian lines have been driven
back more and more slowly, and
the progress of the Germans is
measured by yards, and every
step is stubbornly contested. 1t
is still the opinion of military
strategists that the Germans will
finally reach Warsaw, but it will
be at fearful cost, and it seems
probable that the Russians will
be able to evacuate without the
loss of their army, as at one time
expected. The German army is
handicapped by having to cross a
country which the Russians in
retreating have devastated. An
American steamer was sunk by
a German submarine after the
crew had been taken off. Parti-
culars regarding this have not
been received and the influence
that this will have on diplomatic
relations with Germany are pro-
blematical. -One French steamer
and four British trawlers have
been sunk by German subma-
rines. Germany announces that
they have now a total of 1,500, :
600 Russian prisoners-It is an
nounced that Turkey has ceded
to Bulgaria certain railways,
which is presumed to be evidence
of the Bulgarian alliance with
Germany. Along the Fren c h
border the French claim some
minor victories, but in the main
there has been little of impor-
tance as compared with the Ger
man drive against Warsaw.
