People of Omaha Hear President

Omaha, Oct. 5.-President Wilson
discussed the European war, peace
and American business in three
speeches here today. He declared
America is as ready to fight as any
nation in the world, but that its
cause must be just. After the war,
he said, this nation must join a
league of nations to preserve the
peace of the world.
The president declared for the 'un-
shackling" of American business in
order that it may meet the competi-
tion Of the world after the European
war and cited legislation of his ad-
ministration as going far in this di-
rection.
1t was the presidents first trip in
to the middle west since the cam
paign began, and he received what
his political lieutenants character
lied as the greatest reception of his
career. He was cheered by thou
sands during the day. The size OF
the crowds and the enthusiasm
shown far exceeded anything he has
experienced since his Inauguration.
Attracted here for the celebration of
Nebraska's fiftieth anniversary, thou
sands of people from nearby cities
and States packed Omaha's streets.
1t was an impressive gathering which
greatly pleased the president and his
political advisers.
Omaha was in la attire. The
celebration, non-partisan in charac-
ter and arranged by committee
made up largely of Republicans, was
given a political touch by the pres
ence of the president. All the build
ings were draped with American
flags, windows were packed with
people during the parade and bands
constantly played popular and mar
tial music.

breaker after her present trip.
Throughout the day and up to late
tonight none of the patroiling feet
maintained by the British and French
to protect their own shipping and
American ships carrying munitions
of war had been sighted. Frantic
appeals were sent to Halifax, but for
a time the commander of the British
naval station there refused to divulge
what steps were being taken to meet
the submarine attack.
Patrol Commander Replies.
"All steps possible in the circum-
stances are being taken to deal with
the situation.
This message was received by the
Associated Press tonight from the
commander in chief of the British
North Atlantic squadron at Halifax,
N. S. 1t was in reply to request for
a statement by him. The work OF
the patrolling fleets was directed
from Halifax and ever since the war
began cruisers and auxiliary vessels
have been patrolling up and down the
coast line.
The passengers and crews of de-
stroyed vessels who were being
brought into Newport were not ex-
pected to reach there until after mid
night.
Preparations to care for them hao
been made by Rear Admiral Austen
Mcknight, commandant of the Narra-
gansett Bay naval station; and Rear
Admiral Ebert Gleaves, commander
of the destroyer flotilla now at New
port.

PAYS U. S. A VISIT.
German Submarine Pays Respects to
Newport, r. 1.

Newport, R. l. Oct. 7.-Seventeen
days from Wilhelmshaven, the I'M
perial German naval submarine U-53
dropped anchor in Newport harbor
today. Almost before the officers of
the American fleet Of warships,
through which the stranger had
nosed her way, had recovered from
their astonishment, the undersea
fighter had delivered a message for
the German ambassador, and, weigh
ing, anchor, turned Brenton's Reef
lightship and disappeared beneath the
waves just inside the three-mile
limit
AS she came anG went, she flew the
German naval ensign, two guns were
mounted on the decks, while eight
torpedoes plainly visible under the
forward deck gave mute assurances
that the warship was ready for a
fight.
To Mail Letter, Says Captain.
Lieut.. Capt. Hans Rose, who hung
up a new worlds record in bringing
an armed submarine in battle array
across the Atlantic, said he had call
ed at Newport simply to mail letter
to Count Bernstorff. He requested
neither provisions nor fuel and would
be on his way, he said, long before
expiration of the twenty-four hours
during which belligerent ship may
remain within a neutral harbor.
The submarine was in American
waters little more than three hours,
assuming that she continued to sea
after submerging. Within that time
the German commander paid official
visits TO Rear Admiral Austin M.
knight, commandant of the second
district, and Rear Admiral Gleaves,
commander of the destroyer force of
the Atlantic fleet, who was on board
the flagship, the scout cruiser Bir-
mingham. Both American officers
returned the brief call promptly.
Allied Vessels Warned.
While these formalities were being
exchanged, wireless messages were
carrying to the ships of the British
and French patrol fleet off the coast
warning that hostile submarine had
slipped through their Gordon and
might be expected in the open sea
soon. At the forts and the naval sta
tion the feat OF Capt. Hans Rose,
which had taken every one by sur
prise, was the one subject of CONVEX
sation tonight and there was much
speculation as to her mission and
whether it was confined to the post
age of letter to the German EN-:
bassy.
There were rumors, without appar-
ent basis, that the German merchant
submarine Bremen, long overdue,
might be expected in the wake of the
warship. Some naval officers ex-
pressed the opinion that the fighter
had escorted the Bremen across the
ocean, and others that she was
searching for the merchant ship.
Seeks News of Bremen.
The first question asked by Capt.
Rose when a motorboat came along
side was: "Have you heard from the
Bremen?"
When he was told that there was
no news of the missing craft his face
became grave, but he made no COM
ment.
