America Can't Be Starved.

Senator Reed of Missouri had this Ia

senate:

pie onw i that America will not be starv-

sequences will be To lessen the conditions

That j. sensible talk. America will not
be starved. America can't be starved. We
have been building up the industrial cen.
tiers ut the expense of agriculture and We
are now paying the inevitable penalty.
Again and again has this paper called at

basis of all industries. but its words me,

One Mystery EXPLAINED.

One OF the mysteries of the German run
ming anuck under the sea j. why German
submarines have sunk 80 many vessels ''by
mistake" These include not only hospital
ships, though the latter held safe-conducts
from the German government. and were
not even in the barred zone. \ possible
explanation was recently put forward by
the Nieuwe Courant Of Rotterdam. Ii 10
Gated the trouble in the deterioration and
insufficient training of the submarine
crews. So many of the older men and Of
ficers have been captured or killed, that
very young men and ill-trained officers
have been placed on the new under,ca
craft hurried from German shipyards. The
result is, declares the Courant, a certain
'darc-devIlism' OF youth on the part of
some German submarine commanders and
in general the lack of sense of the enor-
nous responsibility which rests upon
them.-New York Post.

CREIGHTON PULLS
THE COYOTES DOWN
Nebraska Wesleyan Unable to
Withstand Fast Work of
Blue and White.
THIRTY. EIGHT TO TWENTY

Creighton took the Nebraska Wes-
leyan basket ball team into camp at
the Creighton gymnasium Wednesday
night, So to 20, making it three
straight for the Blue and White
squad over Coach klein's pupils.
The game was unusually free from
fouls, only one personal being called
on the Creighton squad, while four
were chalked up against the Wesleyan
team. Neither team put up the brand
of basket ball it is capable of turning
out. Team work was sadly lacking
o.. both sides and nothing saved
Creighton from defeat but an ava
lanche of seventeen field goals. Neither
team seemed able to take the ball
down the floor and many a basket
was lost because of poor passing. 8,
At the start it looked as il the out
state team were out to win as the
Coyotes took the lead. The lead see
sawed back and forth during the first
half with Creighton being on top, 10
to 9, when time was called,
The second half saw the Haley
Mulholland combination in the Creigh-
ton lineup and from their showing last
night they are a hard pair to beat.
Both showed a world of speed on
team work and Haley broke into the
score column with five field goals for
the half. His habit OF shooting with

Truck Knocks Motor Car
On ViaduCt Railing

Clara Reeder, 1913 South Tenth
street, and L. w. Rushing, 442s South
Twenty-eighth street, narrowly es-
capped death Wednesday evening when
the automobile they were riding in
was knocked against the Tenth street
viaduct railing.
An Omaha Transfer truck driven by
Will Hoover, 2l0l Douglas street,
coming up the drive from the Union
depot, crashed into the car driven by
Rushing and knocked it against the
railing of the viaduct. The iron was
badly bent outward by the shock. To
many spectators who saw the accident
it appeared as if the car would break
through the railing and the occupants
dashed to the ground more than fifty
feet below.
Miss Reeder received slight con-
fusion back OF the head. She was
allowed to go to her home following
the smash. Rushing's car was badly
smashed.
