RUSSIAN RECRUITS IN U. s,

Lincoln, Neb., May 8.-The Rus
sian government plans to call upon
it's army reserves now in the United
States, according to a dispatch print
ed in. Russian paper received by
Felix Newton, one of the leaders in
the Russian colony in Lincoln. The
paper, which has a large circulation
among the Russians in this country,
states that there are 100000 re-
serves of the Russian army in the
United States. Mr.. Newton esti-
mates that 5000 of this number are
in Lincoln.
He does not look for very eager
response to the Russian government s
call. Many of the Russians have
taken out naturalization papers and
now own or are purchasing homes of
their own. They are we'll satisfied
with conditions here and are not
likely to risk their chances for hap
piness and prosperity simply to go
back and fight in the Russian army.

''The High Hand" to Be Presented at
the Grand Theater This Evening.

How Jim Warren went up through
the din and murk of the steel works,
up by Drawn and brain until he took
his place behind the superintendent
desk, is the story told in the feature
film 1.-THE High Hand which will
be shown at the Grand theater this
evening. But Warren's heart was
still with the strugglers in the glare
of the furnace and he conceived a
"big idea" which he worked out
and succeeded in lettering their con.
ditions. Politics play an important
part in the picture and it is moss
interesting. The feature has scored
record attendances wherever played.

he continued. For any one now or

me to run for Governor" the Con-
gresham added, "You know, of
course, that this is no time to be a
candidate for any office, nor will I
be a candidate for any office until
1915, if I am then. I much prefer
the freedom of private life, but that
does not imply that I will or will not

the Observation-Disclosures liner Ber-
gensfjord for Bergen.
The Lusitania was due to sail ct
10 o'clock, but owing to new system
of baggage checking, whereby each
passenger was required to identity
his own baggage, the liner was not
ready to pull out from her pier be-
fore II O'Clock, at which time she
was notified to wait for the passen-
gers of the Cameronia. No visitors
were allowed aboard after $3.50
o'clock, however, largely on account
of the kilograms and other singular
occurrences, it is believed.
Mr.. Vanderbilt said that he was
going to London for three weeks
visit to look over some properties
there and see his stable, also to as
certain what effect the war has on
England. He did not appear to be

State Department Asks Berlin for Report Concerning

gress Rumor Lacks Confirmation at Washington.

Washington, May S.-The state de-
partment this morning asked Berlin
that the United States be given a
complete report of the Lusitania dis
aster as soon as possible It expresses
the desire that answer be based upon
the statement of the commander of
the submarine, held responsible for
| the loss of the liner. In effect it
asks If Germany is really responsible
for the torpedoing of the Lusitania
with Americans on board If so de-
tails are wanted. The request is d.
rected to-Ambassador Gerard.
Facts as Soon as Possible.
Secretary Bryan said that the
United States will arrive at the facts
as soon as possible. When pressed
he admitted that someone on the liner
had been reported as having said that
they saw the submarine approach the
boat, corroborating the theory that
the vessel had been torpedoed. : He
refused to make any statement con-
corning international law.
There appears to be a strained
calmness among the officials here
and the executives maintain silence.
All seemed impressed with effect of
loss of the liner on the minds of
American people. All refused to
comment and the president went to
the golf links for a short recreation.
Bryan has cancelled all out-of-town
engagements.
No Extra Session.
Rumors that an extra session of
congress would be called have been
found to be without foundation. No
such action will be taken. until Off

Tragedy to Be Regretted.
"The tragedy is to be profoundly
regretted" said the chairman, "but
we must not get ratified or rock the
boat. The facts of the case must not
be overlooked. The Lusitania was q
British ship, sailing under the flag of
England and was carrying English
military reservists. There were true
Americans aboard but they remem-
bered that it was belligerent ship,
and had been given full warning.

ITALYS AMBITIONS
DISPUTE GROWING
SLAY INFLUENCE
Constantly Changing Reports Con-
corning Austrian Negotiations Due
to Several Important Problems.
TO DOMINATE EASTERN SHORE
Trouble Caused by Back and Forth
Bargaining and Uncertainty Of
Attitude of Allied Nations,
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, May S.-The constant
ly changing reports from Rome, con-
corning the status of negotiations be-
tween Italy and Austria are due not
only to back and forth bargaining,
but also to Italy's uncertainty con-
corning the attitude of the Allies to-
ward her Adriatic aspirations.
Italy's ambitions clash with the
growing influence of the Slavs who
are the major race inhabiting Istria
and Dalmatia. The Austrian empire
is as racially complex along the Adj
Ratio as elsewhere. Slavs and Itai-
ians are the joint possessors of the
Littoral, but while the Slavs are
more populous the Italians are the
cultured leaders. This circumstance
is typical example of how the Haps-
burgers maintain their sway over so
many races
Dominate Eastern Shore.
By encouraging local racial rival
ries, solidarity of opposition to Wen
mas rule is checked
Italy's desire to dominate the east
ern shore of the Adriatic, therefore,
is not only opposed by Austria, but
also by the Slavs. Hence, there are
two issues Italian statesmen must
face. Assuming Italy enters the war
on the side of the Allies and after a
large expenditure of blood and treas
ure wins Istria and Dalmatin, will
the peace, conference after the war re-
cognize the change of sovereignty =?
The Roman government must take
into consideration the fact that Rus
sia's peace delegates will probably op-
pose the spread of Italian influences
at the expense of the Slavs. Aus
tria's policy has been to encourage
the Slavs so as to counterbalance the
more purposeful Italians. Italy of
course, will suppress Slavonic devel-
opment, if she obtains Istria and Dali
malta. Hence, Russia may we'll ia
vor Austria as against Italy after the
war.
Has Unique Bearing.
This double circumstance had a
unique bearing on the effect of the
present Austro-German successes in
Galicia. By defeating the Russians,
and threatening to expel them entire
ly from Galicia, the Teutonic bellig-
erents must create at Rome an i'm
preston of military efficiency, dis
couraging to Italy's hopes Of an easy
campaign of her own.
The Austro-Germans are now con-
Quoting three offensive movements at
once and the Italians may well pause
before engaging so doughty antag-
Onists.
But the more severely tried the
Russian armies and the greater the
danger of a striking German-Austrian
victory, the greater price will the
Slavs be willing to pay for Italy's
entrance into the war; The Rus
SLAMS, of course, would not hesitate
to sacrifice the Slavs of Istria and
Dalmatia if by that means the Slavs
of the Russian empire itself could
be saved from defeat.
So the influence of Russia of the
successful Austro- German offensive
in the east cannot be anticipated.
The result indeed, may be paradoxi-
cal, for the demonstration of Ger
which will entire Italy into the con-
flict.

forget the fact that the pioneer days
were ideal toward the development of the
very things we are striving for today.
That is to fit the children to properly
cope with the problems of mature life.
If the boys and girls nowadays had to
contend with some of the difficultie
the older generation had to, they
would without doubt develop the splen-
did qualities manifest in the persons
who received their training in the
school of adversely in the years gone by.
But modern conditions are different.
The old difficulties do not exist in this
easier age and one of the best ways of
developing character in the coming
generation, is create difficulties for
them. That means of course taking on
more advanced work in our schools and
that is the trend of modern education.
