Because the women in the city re-

ing for their help, as word has been re-
ceiyed by DR.. Cora w. Choate, who Is

central division headquarters in Chi
cago, that Maj. Grayson M. p. Murphy
head of the Red Cross Commission in
France, has cabled to the effect that
Red Cross standard surgical dressings
in millions must be sent over to France
with all possible speed"
The letter from the central division
further states that the Red Cross has
agreed to ship over three million dress
ings q month"; which means that all
the women in town who possibly can
must help. Regular classes in this
work are held two days week in the
Red Cross rooms. Tuesday afternoon
and evening, and Saturday afternoon.

and the Wednesday afternoons In which

MANY DELEGATES
ARRIVE TO JOIN
4 STATE TEACHERS
Knitting for Soldiers Proves
Popular Pastime; AIterdat-
ing Convention City Amend
ment Given Severe Jolt.

A special train from Lincoln yes
terday brought ESQ Lincoln teach
ers for the convention of = the Ne
braska State Teachers association.
For a long period there was a solid
column of Lincoln teachers register
ing at the booth in the Hotel Rome
and these were followed by other
teachers coming on later trains from
other parts of the state. Thus reg
istration was kept brisk until noon
and still they came. ~
By 1890 last night the. registration
had reached $50, or 9S3 above the
total at the close of the enrolment
Wednesday night.
Hundreds of the teachers brought
their knitting with them and are i'm
proving their spare moments knitting
sweaters for the soldiers. One teacher
sat in the front row at the Auditorium
last night and knitted briskly at a
gray sweater while she cooked one
ear intently in the direction of the
speaker. One teacher was seen knit
ting on Sixteenth street this morning
as she hurried from the Hotel Rome
to the place where her sectional meet
ing was being held. Miss Doris
Goethe, assisting in the registration
is knitting sweater during the mo-
ments when she is not busy punch
ing tickets and passing out compli-
mentary tickets for the FRIDAY even

German Section Quiet.
The most sorry-looking sectional
meeting of the whole association yes
terday was the German section, held
in the banquet room of the Hota Cas-
tie. Last year the German section
was held here and the meeting was
so large that an open air overflow
meeting had to be held. This morn
ing there were scarcely s. sprinkled
around in the great banquet room TAX
ing the instruction in this language.
The movement to inject an amend
ment into the constitution of the as
sociation, providing that the conven-
tions shall be held alternately in Lin
coin and Omaha from year to year,
is not yet dead, though it got a severe
blow when Superintendent F. F. Cor
don, Emerson, tried to get it endorsed
by the superintendent and principals
yesterday He is still circulating his
petition for the necessary 100 sigma
lures to get the proposition on the
ballot which will go out to all the
teachers within so days. 1t is under
stood that he has practically obtained
the necessary 100 signatures, but in
order that the constitutional amend
ment may carry, it must receive two
thirds of the votes when the election
takes place in so days by mail.

nation that an american shell fired
by an American naval gunner sank a
Teutonic submarine in the Mediter-
ranean is contained in report made
t. the Navy department by officers OF
an American freight steamship which
arrived here recently, it was learned
today.
The vessel, of about 5000 tons
gross, was returning from an Italian
port in ballast after taking a cargo OF
war munitions from America to Italy
A report of its narrow escape from a
torpedo was recently made public,
but the fate of its attacker was not
mentioned.
The torpedo was discovered ap-
preaching from the starboard side an
hour before nightfall, and the crew,
expecting an explosion, hurried to the
port rail, arriving in time to see the
torpedo emerge from under the ship
and pass harmlessly OIL.
The naval gunners had remained al
their posts. The periscope of a sub
marine appeared above the water, the
U-boat captain apparently being TIN
aware trat the torpedo had gone
under the freighter, because with no
cargo it was riding high in the
water.
Three American shells fired from
the ships bow gun and two from its
stern gun missed the submarine, but
the sixth shot from the stern gun
struck it at the base OF the periscope,
according to the officers report.
There was an explosion which
shattered the submersible and it
sank Wi. all on board.

PROCLAMATION FOR PEACE
ISSUED BY REVOLUTIONISTS

Announcing this to the army at the
front, the revolutionary committee
calls upon the revolutionary soldiers
to watch closely the conduct of the
men in command. Officers who do
not join the accomplished revolution
Immediately and openly must be ar
rested at once as enemies.
"The Petrograd council OF work
mems and soldiers delegates consid.
ers this to be the program of the new
authority:
First, the offer of an immediate
democratic peace.
Second, the immediatc handing
over of large proprietorial lands to
the peasants.
Third, the transmission of all au-
thority to the council of soldiers and
workmen's delegates.
Fourth, the honest convocation OF
constitutional assembly.
No Armies to Leave Front.
"The national revolutionary army
must not permit uncertain military
detachments to leave the front for
Petrograd. They should use per-
suasiQn, but where this fails they
must oppose any such action on the
part of these detachments by force
without mercy.
The actual order must be read I'M
mediately to all military detachments
in all arms. The suppression of this
order from the rank and file by army
organizations is equivalent to a great
crime against the revolution and will
be punished by all the strength Of the
revolutionary law.
Soldiers! For peace, for bread, for
land, and for the power of the people

CIVIL WAR IN
RUSSIA FEAR
OF OFFICIALS
Diplomatic Washington Silent
But Armed Clash Thought
Inevitable; Allies Must

BULLETIN.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. s.-"The
intent and spirit of Russia as
whole should in no way be judged
by the news from Petrograd,' de-
clared Boris A. Bakhmetcff, Russian
ambassador to the United States,
when shown Associated Press dis
patches relative to the reported
overthrow of the Russian provi-
sional government. Until just now
/ did not have any personal or Off
cial information on the subject"
said Mr.. Bakhmeteff, "and, there
fore, you cannot expect any official
opinion"
Washington, Nov. S.-Kerensky's
fall and the collapse of his govern
ment in Petrograd into the hands of
the Maximalists, who propose an
~armistice to the end of an immediate
and just peace is regarded here as
threatening Russia with the civil war
which all its friends hoped to see
avoided.
The State department., entirely
without official advices of its own, was
silent, wishing to avoid making any
statements until the situation could
be accurately assessed on the basis of
intimate reports from Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd.
The Russian embassy, too, preferred
not to make a statement until later
and until after there has been oppor-
tunity for communication with AM
bassador Bakhmeteff, who was travel
ing in the south.
War Program Upset.
The embassies of the entente allies,
realizing that the development means,
first of all, probably rearrangement
OF their war plans, were shocked, but
not disheartened, at what is consid-
cred a triumph of insidious German
propaganda.
The general opinion here among
those in position to be best informed
of Russian affairs is that Kerensky
and his followers probably will at
once set up new government at
Moscow. leaving Petrograd to the
Maximalists and those troops who ad-
here to them.
Battle is Expected.
An armed clash is counted among
the first probabilities, but it Is said
here that the greater part Of the army
is expected to remain loyal to the
Kerensky government.
Whether the new revolt will 60 the
quick way of the Korniloff rebellion
no one here ventures to predict; the
realization is that it is infinitely more
serious. The outcome, and Russia s
part in the next years of the war while
she RECEIVERS her fighting power no
one here assumes to contemplate at
this time.
Problem for War Council.
The war council of the co-bellig-
erents, just about to assemble in Eu-
rope to arrange policies of co-ordi-
nation Of fighting forces, is now faced
with a new and great problem at its
very outset.
