what immense strength the forces OF
ius lice ana of liberalism are ss..her-
| ing out of this war They are enl-
ploying liberals in their enterprise
They are using men, in Germany and
without, as their spokesman whom
they have hitherto sought to Silence.
Let them once succeed and these
men, cow their tools, will be ,gruund
to powder beneath the weight Of the
great military, empire they VIII set
up; the revolutionists in Russia will
be cut off from all succor or cooper
alton in western Europe and coun-
ter revolution fostered and support
chance of freedom; and all Europe
will arm for the next, the final strug-
The sinister intrigue is being no
less actively conducted in this coun-.
try than in Russia and every country
in Europe to which the agents and
dupes of the Imperial German gov
ment has many spokesman here, in
places high and low. They have
learned discretion. They keep with
in the law. 1t is opinion they utter
now, not sedition They proclaim
the liberal purposes OF their masters;
declare this a foreign war which can
touch America with no danger to
set England at the center OF the stage
and talk of her ambition to assert
economic dominion throughout the
world; appeal to our ancient tradi-
ton of isolation in the politics OF the
nations; and seek to undermine the
government with false professions OF
loyalty to it's principles.
Will Make No Headway.
But they will make no Roadway.
The false betray themselves always
in every accent II is only friends
and partisians of the German govern
ment whom we have already identi-
fled who utter these thinly disguised
alsloyalties The facts are patent to
all the world, and nowhere are they
more plainly seen than in the United
States, where we are accustomed TO
deal with facts and not with sophls-
tries; and the great fact that stands
out above all the rest is that this is
a peoples war, war Of freedom and
all the nations of the world, war
to make the world safe for the peo-
pies who live upon it and have made
it their own, the German people
included; and that with
us rests the choice to break through
all these hypocricies and patent
cheats and masks of brute force and
help set the world free, or else stand
aside and let it be dominated long
and the arbitrary choices of self-con-
stituted masters, by the nation which
can maintain the biggest armies and
the most irresistible armaments-a
power to which the world has afford
ed no parallel and in the face OF
which political freedom must wither
and perish.

EXEMPTION BOARDS TO BE NAM
ED BY PRESIDEIT WILSON.
Two Commissions of Five Men Each
to Pass on Final Pleas.

Two federal boards of five men
each, one in the northern Iowa dis
trict and one in the southern Iowa
district, will pass on those claiming
exemption under the selective draft
law. These boards will have full au-
tnority in the mater.
Governor Harding gave this out
last week in response to inquiries.
The local registration boards can
pass on matters OF fact, that is, as to
physical diSa bilities or as to WhetheE
an q q is q 1t or st t ollie

be. acted on by the federal board.
The members of the board are to be
chosen under the direction OF the
president.
There will be no eXemptive classes,
Governor Harding says, that is, all
the farmers will not be exempt, nor
iall the manufacturers, nor all the
married men, nor any one class. The
exemptions will be- of individuals.
An employer may ask for the eXemp-
ton of valued employe and this
may have weight with the board. .
Those who are exempted will prob
ably be given some certificate or pa
per, to show that they have been let

What Is Uric Acid :
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE,
RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL
AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by scheele, in l775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu,
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered a, new agent, called 0Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
TEN. vAnuric" has proved to be 81
times more potent than lithia, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
govt or IA many Ct her diseases which are
dependent on an accumulation OF uric
acid within the body. Send to DR..
Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, for a
pamphlet on vAnuric," or send 10 cents
for trial package OF vAnuric" Tablets.
If you feel that tired, worn out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by too frequent urina-
ton, go to your best drug store and
ask for Doctor Pierce's "Anuric

Tom Clark Puts Two
Hurlers Out of Game
By One Swing Of Bat

Did you ever hear about one pinch
hitter who retired two pitchers with
one swing of his mace?
His name is Tom Clark, the Rhine
lander backstop. On June IS, 1916,
the Reds and Braves battled to a six
teen-inning scoreless tie. Toney
started the game for the Cincinnati
ans and Rudolph did likewise for the
Bostonians. But neither finished it,
because Clark finished both of them
in the twelfth.
The Reds got man on the bag in
the twelfth session and Cholly Her
zog, then plotting the Red skiff, de-
cided to send Clark to bat in the
place of Toney. That removed Tonev
from the battlefield Rudolph served
up twister to Clark and the catcher
at once whaled it right back to Ru-
dolph. The drive hit the bald-headed
finger on his operating finland he
went away in search of a doctor.

FOUR TEAMS HAVE
EDGE OVER RIVALS
Omaha, Lincoln, Fremont and
Sutton Likely Contenders
for Cage Title.
OTHERS ARE STRONG, toe
By KARL LEE,

Two weeks and four days more
then the annual state tournament!
Slowly high school teams have been
preparing for the home stretch of the
race for the floor title of Nebraska,
Practically all the dope is in and
everything points to the biggest and
fastest tourney in the history OF the
event. At least IFS teams will par
ticipatc, battling for three distinctive
championships.
In Omaha in Lincoln, in Sutton
and in all other centers, interest has
reached the highest pitch. Crowds of
fans are expected to gather at Lin
coin on the eventful days, March 7,
8, 9 and 10. Players alone, including
coaches, will number more than 900,
while the rooters that accompany
their favorites, will easily expand
that number four times Omaha alone
will have 500 rooters on the battle
ground the last two days.
There are four leading teams which
have the edge on the championship
dope-Omaha, Lincoln, Sutton and
Fremont. The latter two give the
most promise. Hebron, South High,
University Place and Crete are count
ed as game challengers, who will
make things uneasy for those on top,
while Newman Grove, Kearney, Co.
lumbus, Sidney, Schuyler, Friend and
Norfolk are teams that cannot be dis
regarded.
Fortune and psychology have a
great deal to do with the winning of
the tournament. The drawings in 90
per cent of cases tell the tale. The
chance is all as the cards are laid.
For example, Fremont last year was
put out by Crete in the first round of
the tourney, the game being won by
a three-point margin, while the latter
went through and easily defeated
every team until Beatrice was met in
the final round
Make Winner Over Night.
On the other hand team that has
played unlikely ball through out the
season may be shifted at crucial mo-
ments during the tourney to form a
winner This was the case of Be-
atrice. After winning a one-point mar
gin game from Geneva in the second
round of the tourney, which would
seem mighty discouraging, Coach
Jones of the Queen City five arranged
his team differently in successive
games, to the end that successful
attack was obtained.
No doubt there are many squads
in the state that have the key to the
championship, if only their coach
can see the need for greater aggres.
siveness. Several squads have beer
built on this principle this year, one
being Coach Patton's Packer squad
The South High coach has a crew
of excellent fighters, and by chance
strategy may play a winning card ant
win the title. Coach Thieson Of &c
neva, with three old men in dock, ha:

Omaha SWedeS Ready to
Tackle Denver CopperS

Those chesty Denver coppers, who
evidently believe they are some pull
ers because of their recent victory
over the Omaha police team, will be
accommodated in their. desire to test
their strength with the Omaha
Swedes, according to Charley Van
Deusen and Sergeant Al Samuelson,
who manage and captain respectively
both the Omaha coppers and Swedes.
1t was Van Deusen, who first sug-
gested the Swedes, who won the
championship from the Omaha Danes
some time ago The Denver cops in
their first reply didn't cherish the
Swedes, but did say they would be
tickled to death to tackle the Omaha
sleuths again. Then, apparently, the
Colorado cops got ambitious and
have signihed a willingness to lock
horns with the Swedes.
Van Deusen and Samuelson are
getting their Swedes together and are
making plans to bring the Denverities
to Omaha the latter part of March
or the first part Of April
