Washington Oct. 12-Followng is the text of the &c,

"The German government has accepted the terms

Exchange Gossip Says Bulls
Drop Million and Bears
Pick Up Half a Million
by Slump.

How much have the big Omaha
grain men made or lost in the recent
spectacular decline in corn prices?
This question lisa subject of lively
gossip at the Grain Exchange.
One report has it that Al Kinsler
was in on the right side of the
market for a cleanup of somewhere
near $500,000 and that George A.
Roberts and Nels Updike were
caught in the drop to the tune of
$75O,O00 and $250,000 respectively
Further gossip has it that these
losses have been largely offset by
later unloading and selling short.
Roberts is repordted to have cleaned
up $2,000,000 in these operations
since the war began, while Updike's
profit account is put even higher for
that period. So no one is headed
for the poor house. Kinsler, on the
other hand, is supposed to have been
on the losing as often as on the VIM
ming side.

KA|SERPE PERHAPS
ALREADY SHORN
OF Great POWER
Phrase in German Note Gives
Rise to Inquiry What Has
Become of Emperor
William.

Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. H.
In an extraordinary Neutspoken
article, the Franklische Tagespost,
the Nurenburg socialist organ,
flatly demands the abdication of the
German emperor. 1t declares that
the responsibility for the present
situation rests upon him and says
that as the military system is about
to collapse, he must be the last of
the military monarchs.
Washington, Oct. l2.-One of the
closing phrases of the German note,
which declares that the present Ger
man government has been formed
by conferences in agreement with
the great majority of the reichstag
and that the chancellor speaks in
the name of the German govern
ment and of the German people,"
was regarded as being susceptible
to almost unlimited speculation.
What has become of the kaiser
was the question asked on every
hand as that phrase was read. The
world knows very little of what
has been going on in Germany dur
ing the last few months when with
armies steadily beaten at the front
things at home have been going
from bad to worse.
1t was regarded as not without
the realm of possibilities that the
great power of the kaiser, which
brought on the war, has been taken
from him.

WILSON LEADS
LIBERTY DAY
I PARADE in n. Y.

dent of the United
States.
By Associated Press,

New York, Oct. 12.-President
Wilson, commanders chief of the
American army and navy, marched
today at the head of the American
forces in the Columbus Liberty Day
parade, one of the most impressive
and inspiring spectacles New York
has ever seen.
Under a canopy formed by the
flags of the p nations arrayed
against autocracy and With squad
rons of American airplanes lowering
overhead, the president strobe with
$4,000 fighting men from five con-
tingents and islands in every sea
over the entire three-mile line of
march along the avenue of the
allies" Then. at the foot of Fifth
avenue, beside the Washington arch,
he took his place in an automobile
and reviewed the long column.
The spectators, whose numbers
the ponce eStimated at more than
million, never ceased cheering.
Ovation Unparalleled.
From the minute they caught
sight of the shining silk hat which
proclaimed the approach of the ma
tion's chief executive until they lost
sight of it in the distance, the men
and women who lined the avenue
and sought a vantage point on
every house top hardly paused for
breath. 1t seemed as if the city
had gone mad.
In according Mr.. Wilson what
probably was the greatest ovation
a president of the United States had
ever received, men threw their hats
into the air and yelled themselves
hoarse, while babies were hoisted on
their fathers shoulders that they
might tell. in the years hence, OF

EXPLANATION IT MOVEMENT
 HONE. GUARDS

The Home Guard company has been handicapped by the fact that the drill manuals which are part of the equipment the Home Guard is to re- ceive have not arrived This is espe- cially true at the present time, when platoon and company formations are being given. These movements are all more or less complicated in exc cutiOn, as they necessitate different movements by the individual squads. For this reason Captain GiIIis has thought it advisable to have explana- lions of the various movements printed in the COrdOva Daily Times
 The first to be explained is the right Qeft by squads. The purpose of this command is, being in line, to form column of squads and change direction. The command is, Right Qeft by squads-march" Right by squads will be used in the explanation. At the command March" the right squad marches forward; the remain der of the company execute squads right, column left, and follows the right squad. The right guide, when he has posted himself in front of the squad, takes four short steps, then resumes the full step; the right squad conforms.
 It is the desire of the officers that each man acquaint himself with the details of every movement that is taken up, so that if he should hap ben to have his place in line changed he would not be at a loss to know what to do.
 In Tuesdays issue of this news paper the movements of "On right into line and Right front into line" will be explained.

THERE'S MORE TO DO-LETS
 SEE THAT IT'S DONE

Get the work done; never mind who gets the credit" That is the spirit in which the American Red Cross work i3 being done in France, according to the testimony of observ- CTS who recently have returned to this country from lover there, and it speaks volumes for tie cause in which the organization is enlisted. The same spirit, it may be said ill all truth, animates the directing organ izatiOn over here, and it should be the spirit in connection with the work of every chapter and every auxiliary.
 AddrGssioIg the members of the Rer Cross family 1t national keld- quarters, just after his return from France, George ". Simmons, of St Louis, manager of the Southwestern division, declared that the organiza- ton in France is the greatest aggre- g&toin of high grade men possible to be gotten together. No amount of money" declared MT. Simmons, could induce men of that class to come together and do the kind of work they are putting through. Then take the job, no matter what it is, and most characteristic of all they do, they care not who does it. All are working for one great end: just one A1. ny family"
 Undoubtedly it is just this happy family" idea that accounts for much Ot the wonderful success that has at tended the Red Cross work in Europe since the United States entered the war. Without the esprit du corps which has impressed itself on all who have been brought in contact with the organization through tours of inspec- tiOn and otherwise, the efforts to re- heve the suffering in France would have been little better than a con- glOmeratiOn of well-intentioned blum dering instead of the record of achievement that has called forth the praise of generals and statesmen far and wide.
 Leaders, of course, there must be in any great undertaking. This war, especially, has demonstrated that even the most popularized democracies must concentrate unusual powers in the hands of their leaders; but it is demonstrating as well that the leader who directs his energies with thought of the credit he is to get out of it, who lets personal ambition enter the equation with the good of the cause, is mighty shOrt-lived. Fortunately, the Red Cross leadership has been of the sort that has inspired good fel- lowship and cooperation all along the line. And that tells the story of suc- cess.
 There is a positive lesson in this for all the Red Cross units that go to make up the great whole. Let the
