BRYAN TO FORCE
LIQUOR ISSUE IN
HIS HOME STATE
Will Take Prominent Part
in the Nebraska Primary
Campaign = Prohibition
Paramount Issue.

Lincoln, Neb, Jan. 1S.-William ].
Bryan may or may not be a candidate
for United States senator to succeed
Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock. His closest
friends believe he will not be a can
didate. but in any event he is prepar-
ing to take a leading part in the Me-
braska campaign, chiefly to espouse
the cause of the state wide prohibition
amendment prior to the nomination of
candidates at the primary election this
spring.
For some time 1t has been evident
that the prohibition question Is to be
the paramount issue in Nebraska poll
tics this year. The prohibitionsts
have just filed with the secretary of
state q petition that insures the ques-
tion being voted at the coming cleo
ton. The prohibition committee is
we'll supplied with money from sources
outside the state, 1t Is said, but 1t is
also taking up collections from sympa-
thetic Nebraskans.
Mr.. Bryan. who is still counted a
powerful factor In Nebraska politics,
is said to be ready to demand that
prohibition plank be inserted in the
Democratic state platform, although he
Is expected to stand against a similar
plank in the national platform.
Brother Authorizes Statement.
Charles w. Bryan. mayor of Lincoln
and brother of the former secretary OF
state, Is authority for the statement
that William J. Bryan will insist up
on Democratic state and legislative
candidates not only declaring them
selves for the proposed prohibitory
amendment, but to work for 1t In the
primary campaign.
1t is planned to open tho campaign
in this city March 10. Mr.. Bryan's
fifty sixth birthday, when there will
be banquet under the auspices OF the
Democratic Progressive league. From
that date on Mr.. Bryan will devote his
entire time to the Nebraska campaign,
speaking primarily in favor of the pro-
hibition amendment.
About one-half of Nebraska, mea-
sured by area, is already dry" but
measured by population, only a small
part of the state has been won from
the "wets." The anti prohibition
movement in the state is made for
midable by the personal liberty senti-
ment. especially in Omaha and the
larger cities. Another point that is
expected to cause Omaha to roll up
big majority against prohibition is the
matter of taxation. At present the
saloons annually pay into the Omaha
city treasury $S5o0o0. which is hand
ed over to the public school fund.

Miners EXPECTED
TOASK INCREASE
IN THEIR WAGES
Annual Convention of the
United Mine Workers of
America Convenes-Con-
slider Important Matters.

Indianapolis, Jan 1s.-More than
1000 delegates. representing numerous
states, filled Tomlinson hall this
morning when the annual convention
of the United Mine Workers of
America met for organization. Presi-
dent John P. White called the gatner-
ing to order and presided over the
opening session, which was devoted to
the exchange of greetings and bust
ness Of preliminary nature.
The convention sessions are expect
ed to continue 10 days or two weeks,
owing to the many important items of
business to be considered and acted
upon. The wage question will be the
most important one to receive atten-
tion. Various state and district or
ganizations have already met and de-
manded increases, ranging from 10 to
20 per cent, for mining, asserting that
the increased price of coal and the
general prosperity OF the country, to-
gether with the higher cost OF living,
warrant better pay for the miner.
The convention proper will not fix
the wage scale. This will be left to
the joint conference, when the miners
and operators will meet with equal
representation to agree. The conven-
tion of the miners will formulate the
demands to be made upon the oper-
ators. The joint conference, or a
series OF joint conferences, IL neces-
sary. will then endeavor to agree upon
scale which will apply to basic
points" in each great coal mining re-
gion. The present scale is effective
until April l next. and the new one to
be signed will not take effect until that
date. The joint conference is usually
long drawn out, am concessions come
from both sides before an agreement
is reached. 1t Is expected that the
joint conference will reach n satlsfac-
tory agreement this year without much
difficulty. as 1t is not believed the min
ers will make any very radical de-
mands as to wages or conditions OF
labor. So far there has been little or
no talk about a possible strike.

Maintains That No Warning
Is Necessary When Ships
Garry Guns for Defensive
Purposes.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The Austro-
Hungarian government. according to
authoritative information received here
has prepared to take up with the
United States the questions in
volved in permitting merchant ships

American port with guns mounted
In such a note, it was said in Teu-
tonic diplomatic circles. the Vienna
foreign office probably would inform
the United States that any armed
ship encountered by an Austrian sub
marine would be subject to attack
without warning.
The intentions Of the Austrian gov
ernment became known after Baron
Erich Zwiedinek, charge of the en-
bassy here. had called upon Secretary
Lansing, informing him he had ad-
vised his government that the Gu-
seppe Verdi had been permitted to
leave New York harbor with two guns
mounted at her stern. The ship was
allowed to clear after the state depart
ment had been assured by the Italian
government that the guns aboard her
would be used for defensive purposes
only.

DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP.

The extension of the European war to
include Roumania and Greece illustrates
the way in which peacable nations with
no other thought than self preservation
are sometimes forced into conflicts which
they have strived hard to avoid.
Only the activities of our thoughtful
and patriotic citizens in strengthening
the National Defense can be reckoned
with as assets in averting the sinister de
signs enViOus and aVariciOuS nations may
nurture at our expense. The fate of Bel
gium illustrates the falsity of our reliance
upon treaty rights, moral obligations and
the tenants advanced by the Peace at
all costs advocates.
The doctrine of Peace and Good VIII
to all Men will not find widespread APP
plcation in any place or at any time
as long as trade and commerce continue
as they must be the moving spirits in our
industrial life. AS from the rivalry thus
engendered there must arise sooner or
later, the spirit of antagonism and avar-
ice sufficient in time to lead to war, if
for no other cause than self preserVa-
tiOn, and only those nations able to guard
and care for themselves need in the fut-
ure look for fair dealings from stronger
governments.
The Federal Government has placed
upon the National Guard and Naval Mil
tia the uphOlding of our sovereignty in
case the regular army and navy prove
insufficient to cope with emergencies, and
the Federal Government expects and de-
mands that each citizen contribute his
respective share toward this end. All

another serve in the regular services

BERLIN TO The DU POINT ROAD.

The rights of way for the concrete road
| between Berlin and the dupont BOule-
ward have been secured.
This new state road will start from B.
/ b. Brittingham's farm and will run on
! the east side of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road via Friendship store, Shovel POST
office, Peter Bishops farm and Bishop
Station. Just above Bishop the road viii
cross the railroad so that 1t can connect
with the DUPONT road at the Delaware
State line.
The people who owned the land were
generous and prompt in signing the right
of way. There was not dollar spent
in securing this land
1t was the desire Of the Berlin people
to have this new road 60 as near Bishop
vile as possible. The Bishopville peo-
pie can easily reach this road at Bishop
which is less than two miles.
A State Aid Road, or an improved
shell road, which should be built by the
County Commissioners, could be con-
structed from Bishop to Bishopville.
The building Of a state road from Ber-
lin to the Delaware Line has been agi-
land legislature. At this time, an appro-
priation Of $4,000 was made for this spe-
cial road.
During the 1914 session Of the legis-
lature it was proposed to spend this S75,
600 for bridge at Ocean City. The cit
liens in the northern part Of Worcester
County asked for the money to be left
alone until General T Coleman DUPONT
started his road in Delaware.
A resolution was introduced during the
1916 session Of the legislature asking for
a survey to be made and for the road to
be built. The survey has been made and
the rights of way have been secured
Now it is up to the Maryland State Road
Commission to build this road which will
connect the DUPONT road with the Mary
land system Of state roads. This road
will make it possible for the Delawareans
to reach Maryland's only ocean resort
Ocean City.
