Believe Kaiser's Trip
. South Preliminary
Step Toward Peace

Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. 1o-"The
journey of Emperor William and For
eign Secretary Won Kuehlmann should
be regarded lin certain sense as a
preliminary step toward peace" "\says
the Neuste Nachrichten of Munich.
- 'The emperor's conversation at So
fla and Constantinople certainly mean
the examination of every possibility
in that direction, although it would
be mistake to cas,clude that the de-
cision might embody concessions in
the nature of a program Of annexa-
tions by the enemy. T..
"The peace, by conciliation which we
desire has nothing in common with
that of Lloyd George and Asquith.

OF THE KAISER
Former President Taft Makes
Case Against Kaiser and
DeCries Peace Until He,
Is Dethroned.

Setting up the ideal of league of
nations to enforce peace, William'
Howard Taft, former president of the
United States, traced the history of
the international conflict since Aug
ust, 1914, and showed how that IDEAL
could not be attained while Prussian
militarisnrkyes. Mr.. Taft's talk, "a
Real Peace and Not a Patched-Up
Promise was given, for the Omaha
Socity of Fine Arts at the Boyd thea
ter Friday afternoon, the profits to
go to the Red Cross society, the ma
tional commits sslon of which is headed
by. Mr.. TAFT. .''7aT ~
Standing against the background Of
a huge American flag, Mr.. Taft out
lined simply, but in telling fashion,
the worlds case against Germany.
First he revitwed the conditions exr
isting at the outbreak of the war. then
reverted back 100 years to Napoleon's
time in order to cite Germany's mill
tary and Teutonizing policy. Step by
step he piled up evidence of Ger
many's violations of the laws of inter
national morality, telling of the drop
ping of bombs, the use of poionous
gas, floating mines, bombardipg de-
fenseless cities and sinking neutral
merchant vessels without without
warning.
Germany Guilty of Murder.
"In sinking the Lusitania, Germany
was guilty of what domestic law calls
murder International law furnishes
no other name for it. The United
States guarantees protection to Amer
lean citizens on board ship flying
the United States flag, as we'll as on
the shores of our country. e
Senator La Toilette says it is a
technical right we are defending 1t
shocks me deeply to hear United
States senator state that the victims,
of the Lusitania were havinb only a
technical right to life violated by that
torpedo. He ignores the honor and
prestige~of a great nation. If Vene-
zuela did it, all the pacifists and La
Toilette as we'll, would demand repa-
ration. What's the difference in this
case except that Germany is the
greatest military nation on earth?
whether we defend the constitu-
tional rights of our citizens, or give
UP what we won in 1861 S the ques-
ton. 4,
"Shall wessurrender our usefulness
to the world to take this pusillanim-
Gus position. We must defend our
selves by war when nothing but war
will protect us"
Tribute to the Allies.
The United States part in the war,
how the United States stayed out of
the conflict until its safety demanded
entrance into the world struggle, a
passionate tribute to the allies and es-
pecially to France for hurting back
the Teuton hordes at the Marne and
saving the world, and a stirring ap-
peal to loyal citizens to stand behind
President Wilson mad the government
in-prosecuting the war, followed. d
Touched here and there with
hun1or, tn. audience which filled the
theater appfauded every patriotic ut
terance made by the former president,
while the deep Taft chuckle which
punctuated many of the humorous
passages, never failed to bring a re-
sponsive chuckle from his listeners.

The first day, which was Thursday,
brought in a good volume of sub
scription, though the committee has
not been able to tabulate them all as
yet and to make up totals, so strag-
Cling are the reports of some.
LET NONE ESCAPE.
However, the town is being so
thoroughly canvassed that hardly a
man can be found who has not been
approached on the subject.
Roland Wellmau, a Boy Scout,
canvassed practically all the homes on
both sides of the street for a dis
tance of two blocks in the Hanscom
park district Thursday night, and
found that every family had either
taken bonds or had promised to take
them through the firm with which
the head of the family is employed.
This shows something of the thx-
oughness with which the city is being
canvassed. =
The Liberty float which appeared
for the first time IN this connection
on the streets of Omaha Thursday,
drawn by two gray horses, attracted
a great deal of attention, while the
electrical bell contrivance aboard the
float played patriotic airs constantly
as the float was drawn through the
streets. -
Women Do Well.
The women who operated the
booths in the various department
stores during the day, and will con-
.>tinue to operate them during The re-
mainder of the week, met with a
glowing success the first day. Scarce
" a man who entered any of these,
stores escaped without buying bonds
or giving his solemn promise to do 50.
Printers Subscribe. y .
The printing companies of Omaha
have canvassed their employees, and
have reported Liberty loan subscrip-
tions to the amount OF $4,l50. These
subscriptions come from sixty-fouf
