main force struggled with italian
forces at the front, two Austro-
Hungarian regiments engaged
each other in a terrific hand-to-

BefofN the two regiments learn

Early in the night. according to
the detailed account, a regiment
of Hungarian Czechs clashed with
a regiment of Galician Poles, both
wearing a different uniform and
speaking a different dialect.

SlUeden's Honor Stained,
Says Stockholm Pane,

Stockholm, Sept. l0.-The Social
Demokraten says:
1T is needless to draw special
attention to the seriousness Of the
case, as, 4 the accusations are true,
the Swedish minister, Count Lowen,
is hopelessly compromised and the
eountry's honor stained. The mat
ter is SO much worse because there
were willing helpers at Stockholm"
The conservative Dalblad sarcas-
tically advises Argentina, if the
charges are true, to follow the ma
jority of the South American states
in courageous alliance with the en-
tente, and adds: "The publication of
the kilograms, which some Amer
ican agent must have stolen-the
cypher being given to the Amer
ican press before being handed to
the Swedish legation at Washing
ton--is a method inconsistent with
traditional diplomatic courtesy.
The words about exposing connec-
tons which exist between Germany
and Sweden are considered a gross
and wilful insult to the Swedish
government, only slightly nitigated
by the phrase, AT least in. what
concerns the respective legations in

The Navyridepartment has received
areport from Paris which states that
the steamer Westwego reports Sep

While this does not actually state
that American destroyers were con-

the fact.
1t was announced recently that a
policy of conveying fleets OF mer.

been adopted and since the Westwego

the objects of the submarines attack
were bound for Europe it is regarded
as more than probable that American

FARMERS Will
GET SEED wheat,
SAYSCOUPLAND
Supplying Needed Grain at Gov
ernment Price and Hopes
to Meet All Demands
of State.

George c. Couplahd of the State
Council of Defense was in Omaha
for short time yesterday arrang-
ing with tht Updike company for a
supply of seed wheat for Cedar coun-
ty. Wheat from Washington county
will be sent into Cedar county at the
government figure and urgent demand
there satisfied.
The seed wheat situation is still
acute" said Mr.. Coupland, but it
is clearing up slowly. Time is press
ing, for the seed must soon be in the
ground, and the problem of securing
it must be met. We feel that as
soon as the farmers who are holding
back on grain in hope of obtaining
more than the government price real
ize the futility Of theft plans they
will let go.
Updike Sends Out Buyers.
AT my request the Updikes are
sending twenty of their buyers out
to the counties where the wheat is
to be had to do a little missionary
work along these lines. They will
explain to the farmers that no mat
ter when they sell the price will yet
be that fixed by the government, with
no possibility of obtaining more.
Generally we are getting good re-
