SOCIALISTS MAKE
MOVE TO END WAR
Representatives Of Nine Neu-
trail Countries Gather at The
Hague in Conference.
MANY VIEWS EXPRESSED

London, July 3l.--The international
conference of delegates of the social
lst parties of nine neutral countries
was opened at The Hague today with
an address by the Dutch leader, NJ.
ToelStra, who laid stress on the dis
aStrous consequences of the war in
hampering social progress, says a
Central News dispatch from Amster-
dam.
Military successes the speaker as
serted, hitherto had been on the side
OF the central powers, but ii seemed
the zenith had been passed and the
superiority of the entente allies in
men and money was definitely coming
into play. The vital interests of all
socialists require them to ask whether
the time had not arrived for them to
resume their liberty of action.
The speaker adds the dispatch,
thought that no durable peace was
possible on the basis of the present
war map, or the definite destruction
Of "Prussian militarism," but social
lists must see that restoration of the
independence of Belgium and Poland
and the constitution Of a democrats
Balkan federation were made essen
tial points of any peace program.
The question of Alsace and Lot
raine was more difficult, the dis
patch quotes the speaker as adding,
and he believed the socialist parties
of France and Germany should aim
at some such compromise as had bee !,
suggested before the war.
Emile Vandervelde. the Belgian
minister of state, in letter explained
that he was unable to attend the con-
gress, but said his neutral comrades
'have the right and duty of speaking
as to how they were suffering from
the war, as it is to their interest that
peace when it comes shall be just if it
is to be durable

DISCUSSING RED
CROSS SITUATION
Ambassador Page Sends Note
Stating Position Taken
by Allies.
TALK OF CLOSED DOOR

Washington, July 3l,--With the ap-
parent intention OF closing the nego-
tations in which the United States
has endeavored unsuccessfully to Sc
cure permission TO send Red Cross
supplies through the allied blockade
lines into Germany and Austria, the
allies governments have submitted
through Ambassador Page at London
detailed summary OF their reasons
for refusing such permission.
The communication, handed to the
ambassador by the British foreign Of
flee and made public tonight by the
State department, declares passage OF
such supplies has been forbidden in
the case OF every blockade established
in the past" and suggests that if the
American people really desire to send
reliei supplies into the Teutonic
countries they can find a way by
financing Red Cross hospital units to
take the places OF those whose recent
withdrawal led the allies to impose
the restriction against shipments.
Without hospital units to supervise
distribution the allies contend there
can be no guarantee t.,at the supplies
will not be put to military use.

SAUNDERS COUNTY
MEN VISIT KING AK
Six Hundred State Visitors
Tortured by Giant Goose that
Laid the Golden Nuggets.
BLACK CUTS SPEECHES

The goose that laid the golden
nuggets called upon 900 Saunders
county men last night, when they
visited Ak-Sar Ben Den in body.
The terrors of the ancient goat
slip into toyland as compared to the
horrors perpetrated upon mankind
by this giant goose, which King Tar
tarrax unchains in the midst of the
visitors each Monday night.
Yes, and the Saunders county
crowd saw the famous steed of Coro-
nado, the Spaniard, perform, prance
and cut up most ill-mannered antics
The white wings, too, keeping the
great speedway in imaculate condi-
ton, perpetrated some improprieties
upon the persons of the visitors. but
the visitors were game, and smiled
through it all. For their patience and
forbearance they were treated to one
of Samson's famous lunches with
cold refreshments of several varieties
after the big show and initiation was
over.
About 800 of the Saunders county
men carle in on the Union Pacific
and Burlington roads. Shortly after
8 o'clock the band began to play, the
bells began to ring, the cyclones of
the hideously roaring interior of the
Den began to moan, the machinery
began to grind and the Saunders
county crowd began to be milled
through.
Charley Black, chairman of the
amusement committee of the board
of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben, believes
in few speeches and those few short,
during the hot weather. So he called
for only w. w. Wendstrand of Wa
hoo, county attorney of Saunders
county. He let him speak briefly for
the county, and then tolerated Judge
Ben Baker for a moment after he
warned him, ben, remember the
rule; no politics.
There were 2,7l0 members by the
last count up to last night.
Next Monday night the master
butchers convention will be in
Omaha, and butchers from all over
the United States are to be rolled at
the Den.
Merchants market week will be
upon us then, and the retailers from
all over this and several adjoining
states will be here for the initiation.
Also the automobile manufacturers
are to be entertained
