discussed party measures generally
and adopted resolution creating a
committee Of twenty-seven to con.

The resolution offered by Republi-

The committee will be named soon

MOTOR CAR GREAT
FACTOR IN WAR
E. G. Morse of Chalmers Com
pany Says More Than Ever
to Be Manufactured.
OMAHA is WELL LOCATED

IF America goes to war, the auto
mobile industry in America will be
one of the chief assets of this coun-
try, according to E. c. Morse, vice
president and general manager of the
Chalmers Motor company, at the Fon-
tenelle, last night. Mr.. Morse is in
Omaha comforting with John M. Rob-
bins of the Western Motor company,
Chalmers distributors for Nebraska,
Iowa and northern Kansas.
Il was in England and later in
France at the, outbreak of the world
war. Almost the very first problem
undertaken was that of transporta-
ton, and of course, automobiles were
comandeered into service and every
factory was speeded up to the top
notch, producing more cars and max
ing munitions and war materials.
~The United States leads the world
in the automobile industry and will
face no difficulties from this angle.
The effect of this will without
doubt be felt more in Omaha than
elsewhere m the country on account
of its geographical situation. Fer
tunate indeed is Omaha to be located
in the center of the union, the half
way point on all important highways
The next twelve months will see
more automobiles sold in America,

War Crisis Spurs Fifty Sub

PATRIOTISM is RAMPANT

An unprecedented wave OF patri-
otism" for their adopted country
dashed over the temperaments OF
Omaha aliens when the news of the
break with Germany came and they
began surging into the court house
bright and early Monday morning.
Fifty former subjects of foreign pow
ers took out their second naturaliza-
ton papers and host more declared
their intention to become citizens OF
the United States.
OF the half hundred hyphenated
Americans who applied for their Sec
ond papers nineteen were former sub
jects of the central powers in Europe,
half dozen having served as soldiers
in the armies of the kaiser and the
Austrian emperor.
These nineteen raised their hands
before Judge Day and swore to fight
under the flag OF the United States
If they were needed, even though il
be against the colors Of the lands OF
their birth.
The eyes of many of the old Teu-
tons moistened as they swore allegi-
ance to the United States, solemn1y
pledging themselves to fight against
the kaiser, emperor or any other
ruler from now on if they were called.
Reason for Rush.
The rush to legally get under the
protection of their Uncle Sammy was
prompted in degree by the prospec-
tive naturalized Americans knowl-
edge that the law says after declara-
ton of war no alien enemy can be
admitted to citizenship. In the strict

Teutons Think They
Will Have War Won
Before Us. Is Ready

Berlin, Feb. S (Via London).-
Comment in the morning newspapers
treats the breach in diplomatic rela-
tons between the United States and
Germany as matter of great gravity,
but all the editorials are calm and
moderate. The avoidance of insult
ing language and cutting epithets is
especially noticeable. Most of the
newspapers say the news created no
surprise, some of them explaining
that this step was expected.
All the newspapers strongly reject
the imputation that Germany has
broken its promise made in its note
of May 4, laying stress upon the fact
that Germany's promise was ex-
pressly conditioned on President Will
sons success in bringing England to
an observance of the laws Of nations.
1t is generally assumed by the
newspapers that the United States
will make an early declaration of war
against Germany, for they say the
submarine campaign can hardly be
prosecuted without the loss of some
American lives.
The newspapers say the country
must meet war with America, as the
lesser of two evils. The danger of
the United States as war factor is
treated as comparatively unimportant,
owing to the remoteness of the area
of war and the time that would be
required to create an army. The opin-
ion is evinced in some quarters that
the submarines will decide the war
before the United States gan take an
active hand.

German Paper Says Wilson Wants
England as an Ally Against Japan

Berlin (Via London, Feb. 5.-The
Tagliche Rundschau says:
President Wilson has determined
under all circumstances to preserve
England's strong sea power, perhaps
chiefly because he wants to win Eng
land as an ally against Japan, which
has begun to set in motion 400,000.0 900
Chinese"
The paper repels President Wilson's
offer to distinguish between the Ger
man people ssd government and says;
I'VE are fully united from the em-
peror to the humblest day laborer,
Our government did not resolve to
begin submarine warfare against com
merce over the heads OF the people
but upon the impetuous demand oil
the people and in complete harmony
with the popular assembly and the
public will"
The Post thinks that Americas &C.
tive participation in the war can hard
ly change the situation and that thu
joining Of that country in the hostili
ties can hardly bring greater help Il

been given by munitions and, loans.

dent Wilson's action refusal to recog-
nize the situation OF compulsion in
which Germany has been placed by
her enemies will to destroy her and
adds;
"He stubbornly adheres to the doc
trine OF submarine warfare which he
adopted at the outset and has frus-
trated all the efforts OF our govern
ment to maintain good relations, de-
spite the submarine warfare"
The Vorwaerts says that both sides
should drop the talk about morality,
and says: "The Americans have it
easy in talking about the sacred loss
Of humanity which the Germans are
treading under foot, They are not
threatened in their existence; they
know nothing of the pleasures of life
in the trenches and when they want
bread, butter. bacon, cream, milk and
eggs, they go TO the next shop and
buy what they want. Under such
circumstances, it is easy to exalt the
laws of humanity. Americans have
as little right to make moral repre-.
sensations to us as portly either
has the right to judge a poor devi
who comes into conflict with the
laws through dire distress"

advised the statesmen. Call customers

ways in which you can find out their
names without coming right out and
asking them. This is mechanical age
ard we are allowing too much of the
mechanical to get into selling.
In making OF statesmen he said the
first thing to give them is knowledge
OF the goods. house policies, proper
presentation and so on. Then comes
