months at the trenches in France.
There they gained the name from the
Germans of "the ladies from he'll"

primary reason for coming to Omaha
is to help the work of the British re-

At the very beginning OF the demo-
cratic congress, called by the MAXI
n,alists and the Council Of Working
mems and Soldiers Delegates to ques-
ton his power and perhaps to demand
a new government, the premier ae-
cepted the challenge.
ACCEPTS CHALLENGE.
He told the congress that his
regime had saved Russia in its dark-
est hours.
The government also indicated its
policy of firm continuation of the
war when General Verkhovsky, min
lister of war, pledged the convention to
final victory over Germany if disci-
pline in the army was restored. The
generals reference to the return of
discipline and his announcement that
the officers would be named by their
superiors instead of elected by the
soldiers was applauded only mildly,
but his address as whole evoked
more cheers than did the premier's.
Prevented Revolt. q.
NJ. Kerensky in his speech referred
to the revolt OF General Korniloff
and declared:
~ prevented it. ! destroyed it. I
was informed from the beginning Of
its existence" M i
When the premier declared that the
good of Russia necessitated the OBJ
servance of order and discipline one
of the most dramatic ileckling Incl
dents which punctuated the address
occurred. He had reached a pause in
his address when loud voice in the
gallery shouted: & .
You are the great mischief worker
OF the countryl" |
From bedlam OF Kisses and ap-
plause voices from the floor chal-
lenged the heckler to rise. A COM
mon soldier IN the back gallery arose
; and with arms folded across his
brown blouse stood calmly facing a
torrent of Kisses from the supporters
of Premier Kerensky. This was only
one of the unusual scenes. a. =
The convention was an unusual
sight, the somber colors OF the
clothes of peasants, workinen and pri-
vate soldiers predominating. Here
and there were the brighter colors of,
the uniform of officers. The galleries
were jammed with variegated crowd
of spectators who considered it their
right to interrupt the proceedings
with questions.
There was an air Of tense excite
ment as a result of rumors that the
agitator, Lenine, was in Petrograd
and would attend the convention. This
died down, however. when he failed
to appear.
The applause which greeted Pre-
mier Kerensky indicated that he had
a small minority with him. The So
cialists supporting him contend that
he had majority of the convention.
The government ministers had
meeting late tonight to discuss the
effect of his appearance, but none of
the ministers would talk.
Crisis Today.
A crisis probably will come today,
when the work OF preliminary ergan-
ization has been completed and the
radical left presents it's extremist pro-
gram. The Bolsheviki and the con.
servatives alike will make an effort

Urges Americans to Loan

nations and uron such terms that

opportunity to assist the government
by lending his money upon the secur-
ity of United States government
bond. 1t is essential to the success of
the war and to the support of our gal
liant troops that these loans shall not
only be subscribed, but oversub-
scribed. No one is asked to donate or
give his money to the government. but
