BULLETIN.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Headed by
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, the fol-
lowing members of the senate
privileges and elections committee
were appointed today as the sub
committee to investigate Senator
La Follette's St. Paul speech: SEN
ators Walsh of Montana and James
of Kentucky, democrats, and Dill
lingham of Vermont and Fall of
New Mexico, republicans.
The subcommittee will hold its
first meeting Monday.
Washington, Oct. Ex-senator La
Toilette, whose expulsion from the
senate for disloyalty has been urged
in various petitions. replied TO critics
of his course in the war today in a
long and carefully prepared speech
He asserted that the war party" be-
sides carrying on campaign of libel
and character assassination" against
members of congress who voted
against the war, was attempting to
suppress discussion of war issues and
intimldating the people themselves by
invading their homes and unlawfullv
throwing them into jail.
The senator quoted at length from
Mexican war speeches of Lincoln,
Clay, Webster and Sumner, in support
of his defense of the right of mem
Der of congress to assail the policy
of the government, and dwelt at
length upon the constitutional duty
of congress rather than the president
to proclaim the nations purposes in
taking up arms. He made no refer
ence to the inquiry ordered yester-
day by the senate into his speech be-
fore the Nonpartisan league at St.
Paul, and dealt with criticisms of
himself only generally.

as l recall. about fifty members of

there was let loose upon those sena-

and individuals who had been clamor-
ing for war. unequaled, l believe, in

American DestroyerS
} Sink Many Submarines

Washington, Oct. 6.-German sub
marines are finding their match in
the American destroyers now opera
ting in European waters. as was dis
closed today, when the Navy depart
ment announced the details of the
sinking a submersible by United
State destroyer, with the comment
that "this is one of a number of en-
counters of similar nature"
Depth bombs are being found most
effective in destroying the U-boats:
They are dropped from the deck OF
the destroyer as it is driven directly
over the submerged vessels position
and timed to explode at a given
depth.
The decrease in the toll of mer-
chant vessels sunk by submarines so
marked during the last three weeks
may be in part, at least, attributed to
the success of the Americans in de-
stroying the subsea fighters.

Heflin Charges Held
Subject tC Criticism

Washington, Oct. 6.-Representa-
tive Hefin's declaration that certain
members had acted suspiciously" in
connection with reports Of use of
German money to influence congress
was held today by the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate Hef-
Inns charges to be Subject to criti-
cism."
The report made to the house to-
day by Representative Barnhart Of
Indiana stated specifically, however,
that the committee had no recommen-
dation in the premises" to make.
The direct and parliamentary course
for Mr.. Hefin to pursue, the report
added, would be TO bring proceedings
for expulsion against members whose
loyalty he challenges.
The disputed interviews attributed
to Hehin which he repudiated were
passed with the statement that the
newspaper men who wrote them said
they were true, while Hefin denied
them. The report was unanimous.

His Rule Over Quivera With
Mos Aaspicious Sur '''--7'''
, roundlngs.
CARNIVAL ATTENDANCE.

All previous records are broken,
smashed, shattered.
The 1917 Ak-Sar-Ben festivities
have gone own into history as the
greatest, by all odds, in all the glor-
ious years since the illustrious dynasty
of Ak-Sar-Ben was established.
Last year folks thought high wa
ter wark had been set for years to
come because President and Mrs.
Wilson were here and because the
semi-contennial of Nebraska's state
hood was being celebrated. These
were two added attractions" in addi-
ton to the regular Ak-Sar-Ben head
liner.
All Records Eclipsed.
But last years big record is CON-
pletely eclipsed by the record of 1917.
The carnival attendance this year is
greater by many thousands than that
of last year. And last years record
was many thousands ahead of the
year before. The big increase is reg
istered this year, too. in spite of the
fact that the carnival was open only
ten days instead of eleven, as in pre-
vious years.
Of course, the ideal weather had
much to do with this. With the ex-
ception of the opening day, every
one of the ten days was just made to
order" Every one was a fine ex-
ample of Nebraska's matchless fall
weather.
Refexes Prosperity of State.
Another reason was, perhaps, the
violent attack of prosperity which is
sweeping over Nebraska and sur
rounding states. Big crops and bulg-
ing bank books are the rule now even
more than they have been i'll years
past, though, in fact, prosperity has
been growing around these parts for
a score of years and nobobdy seems
to know how to check it. The farm
ers just put the seed in the ground
and the crops grow and their bank
accounts grow and the state grows
and the city grows and the people
grow with growing Omaha.
Parades Splendid.
The parades were all that could be
wished. They were nicely attuned to
the spirit of the day. The electrical
parade entitled The Triumph of De-
mocracy," was triumph for Ak-Sar-
Ben and Lord High Artifcer Gus
RENEE. The daylight parade was also
a dandy with quite an inspiring touch
of the military. The fireworks spec
tacle at Rourke park was witnessed
by a record-breaking corwod.
And the bill, the great eliminating
event of all the festivities, was an af-
fair that capped the climax OF bril-
liancy. Here. too, the military was
in evidence, adding pleasing touch
to the scene of evening-dress splendor.

PERU VOTES TO
BREAK OFF WITH
GERMAN NATION
Sensational Scene Enacted in
Chamber Of Congress When
Final Action Taken; Diplo.
mats Families Present.

Lima, Peru, Oct. 6.--It was al
frmed today that DR.. Perl, the Ger
man minister to Peru would be
handed his transports. 1t was stated
that after turning the German lega-
ton over to the Spanish minister, DR..
Perl would proceed to Chile.
The decision reached last night by
the Peruvian congress to sever diplo-
matte relations between Peru and
Germany came after sensational de-
bate. Members of the diplomatic
corps and their families and large
crowd we're present when the vote,
which stood los to E, was taken.
The Peruvian government on Sep
tember 20 instructed it's minister at
Berlin to present to the German gov
ernment a demand that satisfaction
be given within eight days for the
sinking by submarine of the Peru
Wan bark Lorton, inside Spanish ter
ritorial waters. 1t was added that if
the demand was not met diplomatic
relations would be broken.

ON Way TO ARMY
TRAINING CAMP
Last Three Districts Send Third
Quota Of First Draft to
Camp Funston; One More
Quota TO Leave.

"a Another little army of Omaha boys
left Saturday morning to train for the
great war, including the third con-
tingent OF the selective draft from the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts Of
Omaha and Douglas county. At 7
o'clock they met at the court house
and formed in line preparatory to en-
trainment for Camp Funston.
Almost 800 strong. they marched
away from the court house to the
St aims of martial music. As they
passed down Farnam street at 7:l5
O lock, crowds of friends and rela-
tives attended their going, as they
have that of ali the Nebraska boys
who have left the home town this
fall.
Time for Leave T Taking.
Arriving at the viaduct, a stop OF ff-
teen minutes was allowed for leav-
taking, word having gone out that
no one but the men and the local
board members would be allowed in
the train shed. Several thousand sad
mothers, sweethearts and friends hid
their grief and smiled bravely that
the last moments of their boys in
Omaha might be cheerful.
At $3.50 o'clock they left on the
Union Pacific train for Camp Fun
ston.
Besides the boys from Douglas
county marched a few strangers in the
city, men from far-away points wko
preferred to go to Camp Funston
with the Nebraska Boys. rather than
take the long trip home TO their own
homes. About eight of these went
with the Fifth division. With the

In open session just before adjourn

President Praises Work.
The work of the congressional ses-
sion adjourning today was praised to-
day by President Wilson in a state
ment saying:
THE needs OF the army and navy
have been met in way that assures
the effectiveness of American arms
and the war-making branch of the
government has been abundantly
equipped with the powers that were
necessary to make the action OF the
nation effective"
"The Sixty-hfth congress, now ad-
journing." the president added, de
serves the gratitude and appreciation
of people whose will and purpose |
believe it has faithfully expressed.
One cannot examine the record Of
its action without being impressed
by its completeness and its full com-
prehension of a great task.
Right of People Safeguarded.
II believe that it has also in equal
degree and as far as possible in the
face of war, safeguarded the right Of
the people and kept in mind the con-
siderations of social justice so often
obscured in the hasty readjustments
of such a crisis.
1T seems to ME that the work of
this remarkable session has not only
been done thoroughly, but that it also
has been done with the utmost dis
patch possible in the circumstances or
consistency with full consideration
of the exceedingly critical matters
dealt with. Best of all, it has left no
doubt aJ to the spirit and determine
ton of the country but has affirmed
them as Loyalty and as emphatically
as our fine soldiers will affirm them on
the firing line"

London, Oct. 6.--Field Marshal
Haig's report tonight from headquar-

Aside from periods of intense ar

reforming hi2 line of defense at some

The night brought virtually no

infantry action was concerned, =
Germans Desperate Fire.
. The enemy, however. concentrated
an intense artillery fire on the front
and during yesterday afternoon and
evening they massed their shattered
troops at various places for counter
attacks. These were attempts born of
desperation and in almost every case
the on-rushing wares of German in
fantry were caught in a heavy artil-
lery and machine gun fire and crush
ed before they reached their objec-
t es.
The German artillery fire was par
ticularly heavy up TO midnight along
the section just north of the Menin
road in the vicinity of Polderhoek.
In the afternoon and evening the
enemy launched no less than five
counter attacks in Ibis sector of the
front, but each time were driven back
with heavy losses. ~
In addition to the enormous cas-
ualties inflicted on the Germans, the
British captured 4,446 prisoners in
Thursdays attack, among them ia
officers.

At the wheel of the White Sox ma
chine he was the master of the Giants
at every stage of the contest, which
thrilled $4,000 followers of the local
American league champions and sent
them away from Comiskey park con-
vinced that after several years of
waiting, the highest honors of the
base. ball game were to fall to the
share of Chicago.
SUPPORT IS FAULTLESS.
While Cicotte was the master mind
of the victory. he was ably assisted
by the White Sox machine, which
played almost faultless base ball
against the determined stand of the
National league standard bearers, who
would not admit defeat until the final
catch of Robertson's fly by ]. Col
lins, ended a contest which equalled
in every way the expected battle be-
tween the rival clubs of the two ma
jor leagues. Tis teammates played
with the confidence of certainty be-
hind Cicotte and the combination
proved too much for the vaunted
power of the Giants.
An even $4,000 spectators paid ad-
mission to the field of the local club
with a result that $73,lS2 was divided
among the players clubs and the Ma
tional commission. OF this amount
the PLAYERS received $50, ,50208; each
of the clubs $13,l67.36 and the Ma
tional commission, $a3l5.20. Had
Comiskey's park been able to accom-
nlodate all those. who desired to wit
ness the first clash between the White
Sox and the Giants, these figures
might easily have been tripled.
Every Seat Taken. g..
AS it was, there was not vacant
seat within the base ball amphitheater
when the players took the field and
hundreds Of disappointed fans throng-

point of vantage which in any
