u.B0ATS REPORTED NEAR U. S.
German Submarines Have Estao'

Providence, II. l.. June 27.-The
Providence Journal today says:
"The United States government Is
in possession Of information which
has revived the belief that German
U-boats are again on this side Of the
Atlantic and that they have estab'
lished base somewhere off the south
side of Cuba. ..
1T is declared by officers Of the navy
that if this is so these U-bOats have
either been preceded or followed by
one or more mercantile submarines,
which have carried extra supplies of
torpedOes and oil.
"Such convoy is said to be absO-
lutely necessary in order to make the
trip across the Atlantic for German
submarines worth while.

marine conveys have been sent and

WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR.

In a communication to the Russian
government President Wilson tells
what we are fighting for. The fol-
lowing forceful paragraphs are ex-
tracts from the communications:
1--WE are fighting for the liberty, the
lf-government and the indicated
development of all peoples, and every
feature OF the settlement that con-
cludes this war must be conceived and
executed for that purpose. Wrongs
must first be righted and then ade-
quate safeguards must be created to
prevent their being committed again.
We ought not to consider remedies
merely because they have pleasing
and sonorous sound Practical ques
tions can be settled only by practical
means. Phrases will not achieve the
result Effective readjustments will;
and whatever readjustments are neces-
sary must be made.
But they must follow a principle,
and that principle is plain. No peo-
pie must be forced under sovereignty
under which it does not wish to live
No territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose of securing those
who inhabit it fair chance of life
and liberty No. indemnities must be
insisted on except those that consti
tute payment for manifest wrongs
done. No readjustments of power
must be made except such as will tend
to secure the future peace of the
world and the future welfare and
happiness of its peoples.
"And then the free peoples of the
world must draw together in some
common covenant, some genuine and
practical cooperation, that will in
effect combine their force to secure
peace and justice in the dealings of
nations with one another. The broth
erhood of mankind must no longer be
fair but empty phrase; it must be
given a structure of force and reality.
The nations must realize their common
life and effect workable partnership
to secure that life against the ag-
gressions of autocratic and self
pleasing power" .'

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
EXPOSES, TO INFAMY THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE,

Secretary McAdoo has authorized
the following statement:
II note that many of the newspapers
express surprise that the German press
claims that the $4,000, 100000 liberty
loan was failure, in spite of the fact
that it was greatly oversubscribed.
The Germans can scarcely be blamed
for making such charges when the
New York Tribune published state
ments shortly before subscriptions
closed that the loan was having hard
shedding and that it was a failure
at that time in the sense that too
much of it's burden fell on the banks.
Furthermore, Richard H. Waldo, bust
ness manager of the New York Trib-
une, on Tuesday night, less than three
days before the close of subscriptions,
in a speech at Detroit before the
Worlds Salesmanship Congress, charg-
ed that the liberty bond distribution
policy had been failure and that the
United States had failed to support
the administration.
81 care nothing about the vicious
partisan attitude of the New York
Tribune or it's business manager, but
I am concerned about the effect of
their false and misleading statements.
Such an extraordinary course by a
leading New York newspaper and it's
representative, calculated to injure
the loan, is incomprehensible. The
only effect of such statements, if that
be of satisfaction to their authors, is
the comfort they have given to the
enemies of America"

moralization in her war with Japan
France always longed for her lost
provinces; but the idea of recovering
them by means of war upon Ger
many was not to be entertained for a
moment, in view of the vast military
preponderance of the latter. That the
! Germans were envious of the extent
of English trade, and that the Eng
lish stood in fear of German competi-
ton. all the world knows; but that
war was the last thing the English
people thought of is apparent from
their persistent refusal to prepare for
it, while to suppose that Germany
would face world in arms merely on
the chance of gaining some additional
commercial opportunities, is to under
rate altogether the astuteness OF the
German intellect.
Out of all this murk of conjectures,
explanations, accusations and counter
accusations, one fact stands forth
clear and indisputable; the German
imperial government is responsible
for the unleashing of the dogs OF war
in August, 1914 This assertion is
based upon the following two consid-
erations:
First, that Austria would have push
ed her quarrel with Serbia to the
length of provoking European war
without the backing Of Germany is in
conceivable
Second, when the English foreign Of
flee did it's utmost to arrange con-
ference of the Powers with view to
a peaceful adjustment of the trouble
between Austria and Serbia, and
France and Russia had signified their
willingness to enter such confer
ence, Germany peremptorily refused,
thereby rendering impossible all fu-
ture attempts at mediation.
In the light of the above facts it is
our conviction that Germany planned
for this war, willed it, and at what
she considered the opportune moment
brought it on, using the assassina-
ton of the Austrian crown prince as
a convenient pretext.
But why?
Not for the reasons that have been
commonly given but for a reason
which involves one of the most dar-
ing conceptions ever entertained by
the human mind. The unfolding of
that reason will be the subject of flu
ture articles.

JAIL ELEVATOR IS
OUT OF COMMISSION
Two Conductors, but the
Power Has Been ALI
Shut Off.
PART OF JAIL FEEDING ROW

There is q jail elevator at the cour,
house-but it isn't in operation. There
are also two operators.
Commissioner Lynch ordered the
power shut off for the jail elevator
when he found that Sheriff Clark was
breaking in new man on the job.
The commissioner says that Jay
Dudley, who was appointed by the
county board, will run the elevator or
no one else will.
Following the grand jury's recon-
mendation that the Jail elevator be
under the jurisdiction of the sheriff S
office, Sheriff Clark asked that Isaac
Bailey be appointed.
Meanwhile the Jail feeding row is
still on. The county board has re-
fused to allow the sheriff's claim for
the feeding of the prisoners twenty
seven days in January, based on the
81 cents a day allowed by law. The
commissioners have requested that
Sheriff Clarke submit an itemized ac-
count, declaring that they will allow
only what was actually expended for
food,

"The university man ought also to
recognize his capacity for rendering
service in the business organization

finance and transportation organiza-
ton of war is of the highest import
ance and it becomes the university
mans duty to help in it, as well as
in training to become a competent
officer, SO indispensable in modern
warfare. Over 1000 students at Har-
ward are already in such training
furthermore, the university mans
training makes him able to under
stand the state of mind of Americans
who, because Of foreign extraction,
relatives and sympathies, do not
wholly agree with the true patriotic
American in these times of stress.
With this understanding, the univer-
sity man can be firm yet reasonable
in attitude and expression. Upon this
depends the close union of all Ameri-
cans in support of our government,
a desperate need in case of actual
war"

Jews Will Honor PuriHn,
Festive Day Of Rejoicing

Purim, a joyous minor festival Of
the Jews, will be celebrated next
Thursday, March 8, in commemora-
ton Of their deliverance from immi-
nent destruction, as narrated with
dramatic power in the Book OF Esther.
There will be no formal observance
of Purim at Temple Israel, aside from
Purin play which will be given by
the Decentralization class Sunday,
March II, but in orthodox syna-
gogues Purim will be observed by
reading the Book of Esther from the
traditional scroll.
The spirit of Purim is throughout
more social than religious. 1t is a
day of rejoicing, of sending gifts to
friends and remembering the poor.
Masquerades, plays, cantatas and
other entertainments are general in
connection with Purim.

SOLONS GUESTS AT
MOTOR SHOW TODAY
Accept Invitation of Auto Trade
Association to See Big
Exposition.
DINE At COMMERCIAL CLUB

Members of the Nebraska legisla-
tire will be guests of the Omaha
Automobile Trade association at the
Omaha automobile show today and
this day will be officially known as
Legislative day.
Clarke q. Powell, manager of the
show, sent an invitation to the Ne
braska solons to attend the show to-
day and the lawmakers accepted.
This weeks session will adjourn to-
day so the legislators can catch an
afternoon train for Omaha.
At $50 tonight the solons will be
guests of the Commercial club at a
dinner at the Commercial club rooms.
All mepbers of the club are urged to
attend. {. c. George will preside and
Randall Brown, president of the club,
will welcome the lawmakers. Gov
ernor Neville will also speak.
Society Night Abandoned.
For the first time in history Thurs
day night was not society night at
the show, and for old timers, who
have seeh all of the twelve Omaha
expositions, the Auditorium was
strange indeed last night.
In past years it was always the
practice to cater to the exclusive set
Thursday night. The admission price
was dogs!ed, the statesmen donned
evening clothes, or at least Tuxedoes,
and an am OF hauteur seemed to per-
wade the building.
But last night was just like any
other night Nobody put on any
dog" as one factory man called It.
The success OF the show last night
means that society night will never
again be restored to favor among the
automobile men. As matter OF fact,
the farTer is about the only person
who VII be honored with special
day at the show in the future.
Business is Brisk.
For business yesterday and last
night was exceedingly brisk. The at
tendance at the show was very graf
flying aad the number who attended
was SO great that more money went
into the box Office than would have
ii it had been society night and the
admission price double the regular
sum.
The attendance last night was al
most as large as Wednesday and the
number of sales made was larger than
any day except Wednesday. The auto
men rather looked for Thursday to be
a dull day compared to the others,
but they were fooled; it was an ex-
ceedingly- good one.
