London, October s. With
the Russians still vigorously
attacking the Austro- Germans
in Volhynia, west of Lutsk, and
thence along the whole front to
sthe Dniester in Galicia, En-
peror William has started for
the front of General Won Lin
sengen, near Lutsk, where the
principal fighting is taking
place.
At various places in this sector and
in Galicia, Petrograd asserts that the
Austro-Germans have been defeated.
Berlin, however, takes issue with the
Russian war office statement and de-
clares that the only point where the
Russians reached the Teutonic lines
was north of Zubilno, and that here
they later were driven out of the cap
tured positions.
Although there is some divergence In
1.-THE official reports from Sofia and Buch-
Arrest concerning the fate of the force
of Rumanians which was thrown across
the Danube into Bulgaria, the fact is
patent according to a Bucharest COM
munication, that they have ceased their
demonstration. Bucharest adds that the
Rumanians withdrew to the left bank of
the Danube but Sofia asserts that the
battlefield in northern Bulgaria, between
Rustchuk and Turtukai, where they
crossed the river, is covered with Ru-
Amanian dead as result of their forced
ispeedy retirement back to their own soil.
All the attempts of the Rumanians and
Russians to advance in Dobrudja have
been frustrated by counter attacks of
the Teutonic allies. Thirteen cannon have
fallen into the hands of the Russians and
Rumanians in this region.
In Pennsylvania the Rumanians have
captured, near Parajd, Austro-German
Notifications after a battle that lasted
three days. Near Bekolsten,. north Of
I9ogaras, and in the vicinity of the Hat
zeg mountains, the Rumanians are re-
ported by Berlin as in retreat, but it is
admitted by the German war office that
the invaders have made another gain in
the Orsova sector
A submarine of the Teutonic allies has
sent to the bottom in the Mediterranean
the Cunard liner Franconia, which was
being used as a transport. No troops
were on the steamer and only u men
of the crew of 302 are missing.
a Forces of the entente powers have
driven their line to within II miles of
Monastir, Servia and occupied the town
of Buff. On the eastern part of the Mace
DOMAIN front the occupation of Yenikeui,
near the Struma river, by the British, is
admitted by Berlin. Likewise, Berlin con-
cedes the taking by the entente forces of
Nidje mountain, east of Monastir. The
Italians have captured several additional
towns in Albania.
Considerable fighting has again taken
place in Asatic Turkey, where along
the coastal region Russian land forces.
in cooperation with their fleet, have
Il made advances on a wide front, infiicting
heavy losses on the Turks and capturing
arms, amrlunition and supplies, says Pc

pulse of the British in an attempt to adj

WAR. PEACE AND BUSINESS

Omaha, Neb., October 5.--Pres-
ident Wilson discussed the Eu-
ropean 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
leage of nations to preserve the
peace of the world.

AMERICA BELONGS TO WORLD

Henceforth she belongs to the world
and must act as part of the world and
all of the attitudes of America will
henceforth be altered. You know what
interests me as the most dramatic
thing that ever happened in history
was rhe discovery of America, not be-
cause 1t was the discovery of America,
but because until America was dis
covered all eyes in Europe were turned
to the east. England was then at the
back of civilization. Behind her were
the unknown spaces of the Atlantic.
All the world lived to the eastward.
In Europe all the trade routes OF the
world worked their ways down toward
| the east
and Their all of a sudden with the
discovery Of America the world was
| turned on it's pivot and Great Britain
was at the front of the world: All the
! tides Icing shut off by the fortunate
| Observation-Disclosures at the time
! Of the CAPTURE of Constantinople by the
| Turks. The cutting off of the east
err, routes forced the world to look
! westward to move westward, to set
! her tides in another direction and IT
was then that America was born Her
birth marked a new world with new
| tide, new direction, a new impulse and
| new future.
TOO MUCH ON SELF
| since L
found myself puzzled by the circum-
sances that America concentrated her
plans SO much upon herself and ex-
| tended them so little to the large
! world This has particularly struck
| me and must strike every student of
| our affairs in respect to our CONNER
cial policy. Only in very recent years
have American merchants and Amer
lean manufacturers studied the mar
! kets of the world. They have talked,
their public men have preached about
their domestic markets and the sacred
ness of those domestic markets APP
! parently, the necessity of always eat
ing our own vitals and living on
those markets; and until very recently
the national banking system was not
supplied with the instrumentalities of
handling foreign exchange. Branches of
bank out of other countries, notably
Eout of Canada. had to come down and
establish themselves in New York and
San Francisco and elsewhere to han
die foreign exchange. Nowhere in the
! national banking act could you find
any provision for the establishment of
| branch banks abroad.
| with what we boosted and believed
/ what l believe-to be the best business
+: genius in the world, we had not even
| thought of using that genius outside OF
! our own markets We cannot do that
| any longer. We have got for certain
! period, at any rate, to finance some OF
| the undertakings of the world for our
selves and for others. The resources OF
! the world by recent processes have, as

came into the middle west today for the
first time since the campaign began and
received what his political lieutenants
characterized the greatest reception of
his career He declared for the 'unshack-
ling of American business, in order that
it may meet the competition of the world
after the European war. and cited legis-
lation of his administration as going far
in this direction.
The President was cheered by thousands
during the day. The size of the crowds
and the enthusiasm shown far exceeded
anything he had experienced since his
inauguration. Attracted here for the Gel
ebration of Nebraska's fftieth anniver-
sary, thousands of people from nearby
cities and states packed Omaha's streets.
1t was an impressive demonstration,
which greatly pleased the President and
his political advisers.
Omaha was in gala attire for the day.
The celebration, nonpartisan in char
acter, and arranged by committee made
up largely of republicans. was given a
political touch by the presence of the
President All the buildings were draped
with American flags, windows were
packed with people during the parade.

martial music. Starting with brief

C0NWAY'S ELECTION
 NEWS BY WIRELESS
Receiving Station of R. T. Cole Gets Returns as Fast as They
 Are Released.

During the anxious hours which followed the close of the polls Tues
 day Conway has been peculiarly for tunate in having as one of it's citi- zens a young man who can receive
 and record the election returns as
 they were flashed from all parts of the globe, Russell T. Cole of the firm
 of Cole & Company, formerly wire
 less operator in the service of the United States navy, stationed at Colon, Panama, has established a re-
 ceiving station at his home and de- votes much of his leisure time to lis tening to dispatches sent out from every corner of the globe. His appar- atus, which he constructed himself, has probably the widest range of any amateur receiving station in the Unit ed states, and with it he is able to receive messages from every sending station of any considerable power on the globe. He can listen to messages of business, war news, etc., being dispatched from the great German towers at Hanover and Nauen, and a second later, by shifting a few but tons and levers, can hear messages going out from the station at Panama or that at Honolulu.
 The United States government sta tion at Arlington, near Washington, is furnished hourly with bulletins of the ASSociated Press and theSe are dispatched by wireless to the ships of the United States navy and mer- chant vessels for the information of those at sea. While of course his business duties prevented him from remaining constantly at his station, MT. Cole during the evenings and oc- casionally during the day was able to furnish his friends with accurate bulletins giving the progress of the presidential race in the various doubt ful states. On Tuesday night, when the Western Union bulletins were being received here by telegraph, MT. Cole caught Associated Press news in numerous instances from one to two hours ahead of the Western Union service. Yesterday noon the Arkan- sas Democrat at Little Rock issued an extra giving the results at that time. MT. Cole had recorded and given out bulletin in Conway giving exactly the same news a little more than two hours ahead of the Democrats extra.
