DESPERATE DEMOS

BEEBE IS MADE THE VICTIM
CErom a staff Correspondence

Lincoln, Nov, Especial, )-Des-
perate conditions evidently demand
desperate measures, if the action of
the local democratic paper in spread
ing its pages with campaign canards
tending to prejudice the mind OF the
voters on the eve Of the election, may
be taken as a Judge of the way they
look at the chances of election of their
party candidates.
Evidently feeling that there was
little chance that Senator Hitchcock
could be elected, the local democratic
sheet has begun a system of publicity
which instead OF harming the republi-
can candidate is making him votes
The great charge against John L.
Kennedy, the opponent of Senator
Hitchcock, is that he was born in
Scotland and found it necessary when
he came to Omaha to add to his name
that of Lauderdale, because there
were so many Kennedys in that city
and others by the name of John, that
in order to prevent confusion, Mr..
Kennedy, who had no middle name
was compelled to do what his parents
had not done, make one. He Sc
lected Lauderdale, because it was a
good old Scotch name and one with
which he was familiar Now the local
democratic sheet attempts to be-
smirch the candidacy of Mr.. Ken
nedy, because he, born on foreign soil
and not given a middle name, made
one, Just as he has made a name
for himself in business public and
private life.
Attack Upon Beebe.
Not content with this attack, last
night the same paper sought to be-
smirch H. C. Beebe, secretary of the
republican state committee, by ref
erences to him as a former saloon
keeper. Mr.. Beebe has never denied
the fact that something like fourteen
years ago he was a saloonkeeper in
Shelby in Polk county. He quit the
business of his own accord and went
into a law business. His standing in
his county was so high that he was
elected county attorney and today no
man is more popular in his commun-
ity than Mr.. Beebe. Then in desper-
alton they have taken a shot at SEN
ator ]. H. Kemp of Fullerton, charg-
ing him with tying up with the
stloon interests Of Omaha when a
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for governor two years ago,
They charged Beebe with pulling the
strings to help out Kemp.
Thoroughly Separated Now.
In answer to the attack Mr.. Beebe
sends the following shot:

DEMOCRATS OF SIXTH
 HAVE A MERRY TIME
George M. Landers, Democratic Can didate for Senator, Gets Tremen-
 dous Ovation on Arrival at Hall

That George M. Landers, demo- cratic nominee for senator IS a ponu- lar candidate with the rank and file of his party was never demonstrated to a greater degree than last night W hen the sixth ward democrats got together at Ruthenian hall for a gen eral good time. From 8 o'clock when the fun began until nearly midnight the hall on Erwin Place was damned to capacity by @ crowd that came to enjoy itself and succeeded with the aid of a number of talented young men and a vaudeville troupe from Keeney's theater. Refreshm ents rigars and clay pipes were freely dis tributed Ha
 Ex-Counci1man Frank L. Conlon was in charge of events and made the opening address, a brisk review of the political situation with a ringing endorsement of the democratic plat form and candidates. But when MT. Landers arrived there was little need for introductions. The crowd saw him coming and the cheering that fol- lowed could be heard south of the railroad tracks. MT. Landers quickly let it be known that he had not come for a serious discussion of politics, but rather to aid in the general festivi- ties. Speaking briefly on the political situation, he declared that the pros poets of democratic victory this year were never so bright. The dem ocrats have good straight story to tell and have gained the confidence of the people. Continuing, MT. Landers said If we are fortunate on the seventh of November you will see a celebration the like of which has never before teen witnessed in New Britain
 Referring to the three local candi- dates, the speaker assured the audi fnce that they are without strings and bound to no man. On this score he declined to vouch for the republicans leaving the question to the judgment of the crowd MT. Landers had some difficulty in delivering his address owing to the high spirits of the crowd which insisted on applauding his every statement.
 Short addresses were made by Oscar L. Kraus F. O. Kilbourne, Registrar T. J. Smith, Conrad R. Thompson ot the Scandinavian Information Bureau If the democratic national committee from New York, M.

PROOF OF COMING VICTORY

The fact that loan to Russia of TO million yen (about $35,0OO, O,00O) was twice over subscribed by the pub lie has attracted considerable atten- tion in Japan and Is regarded by the press as indicating faith in the victory of the Entente Allies and faith in the power of the rehabilitation of Russia. The loan was at six per cent and consisted of Russian treasury bonds. It is likely that additional loans of similar nature will be made subsequently, as Russia desires to raise a total of 250 million yen in Japan (about 125 million dollars). It is understood that the loan will be utilized in the payment of munitions of war purchased in Japan by Rus sia,

 cheQuer bonds, war loans etc., still
 another office is practically certain to
 be added to the cabinet, in the form
 of the ministry of loans according to i a political writer in the Weekly Dis natch
 When McKinnon Wood takes over the position of financial secretary to the treasury, after resigning the Scotch secretaryship it will be found , that he will take over the duties of the
 new office, the writer says
 The ministry of loans will be the third new cabinet office to have been created during the war, the other two
 being the ministry of munitions anG the ministry of blockade. Tn the or Ginary course, the addition would
 mean a cabinet of twenty-four, but in
 future it is regarded as certain that
 the chancell Orship of the Duchy of Lancaster will be filled bN a minister holding a second office, thus keeping the number down to twenty-three. McKinnon Wood has always held 1 that thrift should be the concern of 1 the state. His capacity for the new 1 cffce rests on extensive business ex- 1 perience, he having carried on the | family business as a merchant suc | cessful1y His aptitude was reflected | in his work as a member of the finance | committee of the London county l council. His business knowledge is
 widely recognized, and he has con-
 tributed papers on commercial sub 1 iects to various publications. He would
 make every effort to induce the small
 investor to take up war loans and ex-
 chequer bond issues. He displayed
 especial interest in the Scotch war l loan committees work, and some time
 ago hinted that fresh taxation would follow any slackening in the taking up | of war issues.

INCIDENT RECALLED.
Death of Hood Brings Back Hurri-

Sydney, Australia, Aug. 11.-That thrilling incident at the height of the hurricane at Apia, Samoa in 1889 when the crew of the laundering United States warship Trenton cheered the British warShip Calliope as the latter fought her way inch by inch out of the harbor to the open sea and safety has been recalled in Sydney by the death in the Jutland naval battle of Rear Admiral Horace l.. Hood of the British navy. Hood was a midshipman on the CalliOpe on who have since been more or less conspicuously engaged in this war.
 Some of them besides Hood were Frank Brandt, who commanded the Monmouth when she was sunk by the Germans off the coast of Chilli; Will mot $. Nicholson who commanded the Hogue when she was sunk in the North Sea by mines. John c. T. Glossop who commanded the sydney when she defeated the Emden off Cocos Island; Sidney R. D.

America has never been able to com pete with Dutch shipbuilders, neither before nor during the war, but that so soon as Holland was closed to the export of ships the United States has booked big orders for the building of vessels for European firms, at prices that are fabulously high-much high CT than the prices which our shipbuild CTS would ask if tere were a free eX- port of ships built in this country.'
 The Dutch shipbuilding industry cannot exist without foreign orders, and the livelihood of 16,00O workmen is at stake, according to the petitioner. He points out that while on December 31, 1914 less than ten per cent. of the tonnage building here was being con- structed to foreign orders, this pro- portion had risen on June l. 1916, to about thirty-fOur per cent.
 It is petitioned that the royal decree on the export of ships shall be so amended that ships may at all times be exported, except if it should ap- pear at the time of their completion the state has need of such tonnage.

PRICE HEAVY BUT
 WELL WORTH GAINS
That's the Way Wounded British
 Talk Of SOmme

Correspondence of the Asso. Press
 London, July 3O.-To the civilian who notes the figures in the casualty lists issued every twenty-four hours, and sees fresh conveys of wounded ar irving daily at the big London railway strations, it seems that England is pav- ing a terrible and ghastly price for whatever she is gaining by the "big push.''
 On that point the opinions of the est, especially of leaders who are habi- tuated to somewhat larger purview than is possible in the ranks. Chance afforded London reporter an oppor on the question of casualties. It was when a hospital ship laden with wounded reached the landing stage at Southa mpton, and he was permitted to go aboard.
 "What do you think of the British casualties?" he asked the- wounded Second in Command of battalion which played it's part at Fricourt Montauban, and Bazentin. He was sitting with another officer, the adju- tant of a battalion which fought it's way through La BOiselle to Contalmai- son. Both were walking cases;" one with two machine-gun bullets in shoulder and arm, the other with bomb splinters in his left side. One had the experience of Loos for a stan dard of comparison; the other, the ad- jutant, has been at the front since the early days of 1915.
 Well, there's a good many of them of course. Seeing the whole lot in a narrow funnel, as you do here it must seem tremendous. There are a good many, of course. You can't move hand or foot on the western front, without casualties. But I'm bound to say it wasn't the number, but the feWness of them that impressed me out there. I mean, of course, for the fire we've had to face. What do you think? ?'

He turned to the adjutant.

11S turned to the duJuCdnI.
 T think the proportion of casual ties is pretty much the same as it's been in all offensive on this front but the balance will prove totally different. This war is just buying and selling; fifty thousand pounds is a lump of money to spend; but in busines peo- pie don't worry about the laying out of fifty thousand, if they see a good and safe return for it. It's always a good investment, if you can buy sixty or seventy, or hundred thousand for. it. isn't it?"
 The major of the other battalion nodded, and said: "Perhaps you've heard of those documents, or some of them, found on different prisoners sent by German companies in the line to their different headquarters in rear; begging for endorsements Company reduced to nine men and one officer; battalion reduced to twen- tv men and. three officers and that sort of thing. That's worth paying for, you know, and what's more, it can't possibly be got without paying The whole thing is very different from Loos; I know that. We're getting an infinitely better run for our money.
 We are gaining in ground; but that's a small thing to the enormous gain in man-pOwer and morale. You take 1t from me, our new armies can stand a lot of this; deuced sight more of it than Germany could pos sibly stand. Our chaps are in better heart today than they've ever been since 1914.
 "In the early days 1t was a case of pitting flesh and blood against metal The Germans had the overwhelming
 
 every mortal way; except in the spirit of his men. He never could beat us at that. But in numbers, In prepara- ton, and above all, in guns and mu- nitions; it was heads you win and tails I lose. But the boots on the other leg now, and will be still more on the other leg when we've got a few more German positions. For, in addition to everything else, mind. they had us beaten out of sight in the matter of relative positions, fields of fire cover from fire, field of view, and all that. But the greatest difference is in the matter of guns and ammunition.
 Why, it wouldn't worry me much if our casualties were twice as heavy as they are; no, nor three or four times.'
 "Nor me. Not a bit," agreed the ad- jutant. "We all know there must be big fighting, and lots of it, to finish this war; and there can't be big fighting without approximately big casualties. On the basis on which we're fighting just now, I wouldn't care if our cas- ualties were ten times as numerous: and do you know why? Because, on the present relation of gains to losses, of what we sell to what we're getting for if. if our casualties were ten times what they are, the war would be over before the summer is over and Ger many would be down and out" said the other officer. "A rare lot of these present casualties will be fight ing fit again within a month from the time of landing; and you watch their l smoke when they get out again.
