These are trying times for the re-

open from 8 a. M, until after 10 p.

hearty laugh, however, when Chief
Yeoman Guy Stoner told joke on

Over 1000 war volunteers have
joined military organizations through
Omaha recruiting stations since the
call to the colors was issued three
weeks ago.
All previous known records were
Smashed for both days and weeks
recruiting, when a total of liz men
were enlisted Saturday, making the
weeks total $40 and the grand total
for three weeks 1,064.
During the first week of volunteer
ing here, 2o8 men enlisted in all
the branches. The second week
brought smaller number, 1856, as the
Guard was then not recruiting. But
with all branches making strenuous
efforts last week, the results reflected
the urgent need of men apd the splen-
did response given by the pattiotic
lads. 4,
Army Gets Over Half.
More than half of the total number
of recruits have enlisted in the regu-
lar army. This branch of the service
has now begun to receive the great
rush of war volunteers, which were
expected to follow the announcement
that men could enlist just for the
period of the war.
The navy also is making a fine
showing,> If its enlistments continue
to be as good each day for the next
three weeks as they were Saturday,
the Omaha districts share of 800 men
will be secured, to bring up the navy's
strength to the newly authorized
complement.
The marine corps needs compara-
lively few men, but needs those badly.
Its efforts here are limited, because
there is only one marine corps re-
cruiter in the entire district.
Guard Picks Men.
National Guard recruiters are no
longer making special efforts to en-
list new men, and are simply taking
their pick of those who apply. This is
in conformity with the Warfdepart=
ments desire to swing all possible
recruits to the regular army and navy
for the time being. The local Guard
is now within few men of the de-
sired number for each company.
Travelling parties of recruiters for
the army and navy are Sending in
many upstate" boys to join those
branches. Ten army recruits arrived
from Carroll, Ia, Saturday, and small
er groups came from Sioux City, Co.
lumbus, Beatrice, Lincoln and other
points. Similar lunches Of recruits
have come in to enter naval service.
Patriotic rallies have been and are
being held i'll many towns, under au-
spices of the mayors and postmastcrs,
to boost army and navy recruiting.
Rush Comes Late.
OF the 557 men entering the regular
army since the call for volunteers
three weeks ago, only ninety-onc and
seventy-nine were recruited during ne
first and second week, respectively
while 567 enlisted during the thir |
week, showing that as the cali for men
has become more insistent, the young
men of the district have volunteered
in increasing numbers. The big rush
to the army did not begin until last
Tuesday f.
Recruiting stations for the army,
navy and Guard will be open today,
to receive applicants and answe' in
quiries.

 The contrast which we have pointed out was due to the fact that in England free speech and a free press was insisteed upon and the fanatical were allowed to utter all their views. Confidence in the in teligence of the people was not misplaced. 3 There was nowhere on the eastern hemisphere where an archism made less progress; there was now here where the views were allowed such free and uninterrupt- ed discussion. Outside of Russia there was 10 place where open asi- .ation V@s 50 suppressed as in Ire land, and outside of Russia 70 place where terrorism throvo a&d aourisaeL as in Ireland

or elsewhere accused of disloyalty and treason and sedition, realize from the facts of their social and industrial life that there is no land like America, no laws like Amer ican laws, no justice like American justice, no place on the earth where human rights and human privi leges are so sacred and so unde- spoiled and there will be such a ral!ying to the national flag as the earth has not witnessed in all his- tory. But let the continuation Of this class war proceed unchecked as to it's fundamental causes; let employers continue to deny the eight hour day, reasonable wages to meet the higher costs of living, the suppression of the papers which voice these agitated and agitatiye feelings, and regardless of every official movement to extirpate such agitation, they will continue, if not in the open, at least in secret and will interfere beyond measure in the successful operation of the war.

 To adopt the view that this CT that idea must be suppressed b force. is to fall back upon the re.i- ance ill the power of Might ana that is net very far removed from the acceptance of might making right.
 In war time these fundamental facts of history are not in any way affected. in what way could the cooperation of all classes of the people be secured for the defense of the nation than by forcing all to recognize the fact that in their rights all are protected. We can see. any person can, that does this government oi the people in all its functions administer them without regard to class, see to it that the workers are granted their demands to the fullest requirements of every human need; compel those who are reyelling ir opulence to surrender of that wealth to forward the war for the welfare of mankind, and there will be an enthusiasm for the nation, for the flag and for the cause Of America that nothing could withstand
 As we see it. judging from the published reports in the most con servative and the most radical pa pers, there is a general industrial unrest. There Is manifested q sullen resentment between the clas- ses. There is a constant complaint against soaring prices, against in dustrial tyranny and against the fact that the employers are making the greatest profits in the history of industry and the workers are scrimped in their wages to buy even the necessities of life.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. G.
Uncle Sans navy experts are
not combining their attention sole
ly to combating the submarine.
With an eye to the less immedi-
ate future they have given the
problem Of building submarines
consideration second only to sink
ing them.
AS result, the United States
has made more Roadway in sub
marine development in the last
four months than she would have
in years of peace.
This applies also to improve
ment which will put our submar-
ines ahead of Germany's.
Submersibles of 1000 tons and
over, with a wide cruising radius,
have been laid down and plans
made for giant submarines up to
1900 tons.
So important have the naval au-
thorities held submarine construc-
ton to be that repeated shipping
board requests to suspend it, so
shipbuilders might help build
commercial vessels, have been re-
fused.
The work has been subordinated
only to building destroyers and
other patrol boats needed for war
fare.
A changed condition, however,
by no means impossible IL some
method of curbing Germany's sub
marines was not found, might
force this country inside year to
defend her own coasts. And sub
marines offer the best defense.

piled at the bureau for jobs, and
had warned them not to accept
work at Camp Lewis, on the pre-
text that a strike was In effect

Officers had kept him under
surveillance for several days and
finally arrested him Wednesday

In the Germans pockets was
found large quantity Of notes
all written in German, together
with many names of German per-
sons, grouped with the word com
mittee' after each group.
Detectives searched the prison
ers rooms at the Stanley hotel,
9th and Market, Wednesday night,
and removed to police headquar-
tiers trunk and large leather suit
case.
The suit case was opened, and
disclosed a large quantity of Ger
man literature. A pair of gloves
in the trunk developed into minia-
ture savings bank, a $40 gold
piece being found in one and a
bank note of the same denomina-
tion in the other.
Contents of the trunk have not
been examined, and the police
have not attempted to translate
any of the German literature.
Detectives who talked with
Harris say that altho he is posing
as q laboring man, he is an intelli-
gent, well educated man. He
speaks English with a slight Ger

Among the papers in his suit
case were several English stats,
tical records, together with tables
for quick computation Of percent

Harris had not registered with
the government officials, as all
