ARMORED MOTOR CAR
RUNS OUT OF JUICE
German Soldiers Swarm Over
Stranded Tank in Vain En-
deavor to Penetrate It.
INFANTRY TO THE RESCUE

British Front in France, Sept. a.
Midnight, Via London, Sept. 28)-
In the lull which has occurred after
the great two days battle, in which
five villages and 5000 prisoners were
taken by the allies, the correspond
ent of the Associated Press has had
an opportunity to CLEAN many stories
from the participants in the struggle.
These stories were not only OF cour-
age and heroism, but of humor and
paradox possible only in such COM
plicated and remorseless warfare.
The most wonderful of all the tales
told was perhaps that of one OF the
tanks, or new armored motor cars,
which started for Berlin on its own
account. This monstrous land ship,
ambling and rumbling along, did not
wait on the infantry after the taking
of Guedecourt, but plodded over
shell holes and across lots looking
for its prey like some prehistoric
lizard. In course Of time it found
German trench, but as it engaged
the occupants with its machine guns
it ran out Of gasoline.
Germans Swarm Over Tank.
When the Germans found this
strange creature, with its steel hide
impenetrable to bullets, stalled, cu-
riosity and a desire for revenge was
a flip to their courage.
Thaxy ,.,ant aftor - ,.,,tb tba oy,d,f,,
Of prehistoric men stalking a wound
ed mammoth, whose bulk was fast in
one Of the alleys of the cave dwell
ers. No such game was ever seen
on this western front, marked as it
has been by all kinds OF bizarre
fighting.
According to the accounts given by
the British officers with veracious So
lemnity while the tanks machine gun
blazed right and left, some of the
Germans managed to creep along the
trenches under the fore legs and hind
legs of the crouching beast. Then
they swarmed over it, looking for
an opening through which to strike
at its vitals. They fired their rifles
into joints and bombed it all over,
but to no more avail than burglars
trying to reach the inside of battle
ship turret with a jimmy. All the
while the tanks machine guns kept
busy at the human targets in reach.
while its crew, chosen -dare-devils, |
concluded to stick until they starved |
or the Germans found the proper can
opener to get them out.
Infantry to Rescue. |
Finally the British infantry in the
rear, seeing the tank in distress, re-
fused to wait on any general orders
that they should remain at the OBJ
jective which they had gained. They
were out to save that impounded
tank and with cheer they rushed the
Germans and overwhelmed them.
When the crew heard the laughing
and shouting in English they opened
the door and called out. I'VE are all
right if you will only get us some
more juice so that the old girl can
have guzzle Of her proper drink
and we can take the road again"
So the infantry: formed line in

publican fervor.
/, In the midst OF his speech, which
dealt principally with the Underwood
tariff OF the democratic adminstra.
ton and its sectional application SC
sas to protect the products of the
southern farms, but not the products
of Nebraska, he was interrupted by
C. P. Hail. prominent local demo-
ecrat, who as judge of the races
wished to have the races proceed on
time. Mr.. Kennedy preferred to stop
at this time and his crowd cheered
and called, GO on! Go onl We don't
care about the horse races"
Mr.. Kennedy's speech dealt with
republican issues and his mention OF
the name OF Charles L. Hughes
brought out repeated applause. Mr..
Kennedy was introduced by Peter
Jansen OF this city. Another demo-
cratic interruption brought forth
snappy retort from Mr.. Kennedy
which was much enjoyed by the au-
dience. He left here this afternoon
for North Platte, where he will adj
dress an afternoon meeting tomor-
row.
Adam McMullen OF Wymore, re-
publican candidate for state senator,
presided and introduced the other

Hollweg Declares
Italy Forced to Go
To War by British

Berlin, Sept. 28.-(By Wireless to
Sayvilie. )--The Reichstag convened
today and the imperial chancellor,
DIR. Won Bethmann- Hollweg. delivered
his eaeeriy-awaitcd speech. He began
by outlining the events which led up
to the Italian and Roumanian decla-
rations OF war. He recalled that the
German ambassador had left Rome
after Italy's declaration of war
against Austria-Hungary and that
Germany had announced that the
Italians would find German troops
fighting with their Austrian comrades
on the Italian frontier. He continued:
THUS a state OF war practically ex-
listed, but formal declaration Of war
did not come till later. Italy appar-
emily was afraid OF the consequences
which it would suffer after the war in
regard to its economic relations
with US.
ION the other hand. Rome pre-
ierred to lay the blame for the decla-
ration at our door. But for US there
was no reason to play Italy's game.
Our tactics were justified by the un-
interrupted efforts of the entente
powers to cause Italy to declare war.
For more. than a year the Italian
government resisted Finally, the
measures which England employs
with equal ruthlessness against neu-
trails and its allies were too strong
Italy's welfare depends upon English
coal and English money. Finally il
had to give in.
THE decision certainly was
brought about by British coercion, all
though Italian hopes in regard to the
Balkans also exercised influence.
Italy, as Is known, desires Balkan
territories, which are within the
natural sphere Of Greek interests. In
order not to be abandoned Italy
found 1t necessary to partake in the
expedition of General Sarrail, (the
allied commander at Saloniki), and
this caused an encounter between
Italian and German troops in Mace.

MR.. HUGHES SPEAKS
IN new JERSEY
Republican Nominee Discusses
Protection and Adamson Act
in Address at Trenton.
FAIRBANKS IN COLORADO

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 28.-Charle:
f. Hughes today addressed an audi
ence at the state fair here. Mr.
Hughes reached Trenton at 10 a. m
from Pittsburgh, where he spoke
last night, and motored to the fair
grounds. There he held public re.
ception, afterward speaking from the
judges stand at the race track.
With him on the stand were sue
cessful and defeated republican can
didates for various offices at last
Tuesdays primary election.
1t was Mr.. Hughes first appear
ance as a presidential nominee in
President Wilson's home state.
Mr.. Hughes spoke chiefly of the
protective tariff. He assailed the ad-

Adamson law, extravaganza and

Fairbanks at Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 2S.--
The democratic party has not kept its
pledge to reduce the high cost Of liv-
ing, Charles w. Fairbanks, republi-
can candidate for vice president,
charged in an address here this after
noon. The speaker also touched
upon the tariff, the Mexico situation
and economic conditions in this coun-
try at the termination Of the Euro
pean war.
The republican party" said Mr..
Fairbanks, has kept faith with the
American people since the days of
Abraham Lincoln, when he consecrat-
ed his mighty services to the cause Of
human liberty. The republican party
has pledged its faith over and over
again and not to this hour has its
pledge gone to public protest.
One of the most earnest pledges
of democracy was to reduce the high
cost of living. This is one of the
questions that always is Of paramount
importance among people who earn
their bread in the sweat of their
faces. This pledge was not kept. Did
the democratic party make this pledge
knowing it could not, or would not
keep it? If so they have forfeited
public confidence. No party has any
Claim to public support which reck-
lessly makes pledges which it can
not or will not keep"

announces he will not serve as head
of such committee, and he added that
he was not consulted when the selec-
ton was made by the Jacks. The
Jacks maintain that the county or
ganization, maintained and operated
by the Jims, does not represent the
democracy of this county. The whole
situation was aired before the creden-
tials committee of the state demo-
craft: convention at Hastings in July.
The Jims scored a victory on that oc-
casion. But the thirteen members
OF the Jacksonian club have not yet
been soothed by the healing hand of
time. Who wants to serve as chair
