New Hun Premier Regular
Human" Declares Gerard

er's work in Germany, but Won
Jagow was personally in favor Of
treating the prisoners better than
the military would permit Won
Jagow told me that he tried to
bring about the appointment Of
Prince Macmillan, but was terribly
sat upon by the military.
Baden is much more liberal than
most of the prineipalities and
duchies; indeed, the most liberal of
all of them. 1t made brave attempt
for liberty during the revolution OF
l848, and 10000 people Of Baden in
that revolution took refuge in Swift
erland, great many Of them
eventually coming to this country.
"The putting forward of man of
Prince Maximilan's personality and
views in the position Of chancellor
to my mind means a very definite
attempt to seek peace and abandon
mcnt OF the pan-German policy, be.
cause Prince Macmillan is opposed
to this insane idea of pan.German-
ism, of world conquest.
81 always suspected that when
they really sought peace they would
employ either Prince Macmillan or
Dr. Solf, the German colonial min
lister, who Was so opposed to
break with America that when re-
lations were broken he took to his
bed"

Midway Short Line
Boosters in Omaha to
Urge New Rail Route

Judge F. T. Hughes of Keokuk,
Ia, and Theodore Gilman of New
York, railway experts, who have
beer making survey of the Mid
way Short line all rail route from
Logansport( Ind, to Omaha, ar
rived in Omaha last night after an
inspection of the entire trackage.
This stretch of road was one of
the original transcontinental links.
During this war time citizens dwell
ing along the way have urged in
view of its directness that it at least
be used to capacity. 1t connects
Logansport with Peoria, Keokuk,
Centerville, Shenandoah and Oma-
ha.
At the outset it was a Pennsyl-
vania proposition. Later the Wabash
operated it for a time and the the
Burlington got control.
The regional board has said it
would require too great an expen-
diture Of money for steel to put the
line in shape for through traffic of
intensive character now. Judge
Hughes and Mr.. Gilman, however,
believe the line could be used to
vastly greater advantage than now
under present conditions and are
prepared to urge this upon Director
McAdoo of the railroad administra-
ton.

Corn Market; Oats Stronger.
Chicago, Oct. S.-Peace reports. especial
ly an exaggerated rumor growing out OF
unofficial Turkish proposals for an arm
istlce, gave the bears control OF the corn
market most of the time today. Prices
closed nervous Il to 1Ac net lower, with
November, s12sh to s12sA and Decem-
her, $126% to s1.26N. Oats finished un-
changed to half cent higher and provi-
sions varying from 81 to &c advance.
Downturns In corn started as soon
az trading began and despite subsequent
bulges to covering by shorts no sustained
strength developed. Word that the new
German chancellor would be a recognized
opponent of miltarism did a good deal
to favor tho selling side Of the market,
and so, too, did continued rearward move
ments by the German armies. Then short
y before midday, attention focused on
rumors about Turkey. A break to the
lowest level OF the season quickly ensued.
The fact however, that no confirmation
Of the Turkish gossip was forthcoming
led to partial rallies, as the session neared
an end.
Moderate buying on the part of cash
houses tended to strengthen oats Besides
rural offerings were light.
Provisions weakened, owing chiefly to
a setback in the value of hogs. On the
declines, though, packers bought lard
and ribs, presumably against shipping
sales

DISCUSSION OF
PEACE STARTED
IN PARLIAMENT
Austrian Socialist Deputies
Demand Autonomy for
Each Nation; Czech
Attacks Germans.

Vienna, Oct. 3.-(Via Basel.)-
Emperor Charles on Monday went
from Reichenau. lower Austria, to
Baden, where he received in audi
ence Field Marshal Arr Won Straus-
senburg, the Austrian hief-of-staff.
The emperor then came to Vienna,
where he conferred with Baron Won
Burian, the Austro- Hungarian min
lister, and Baron Won Hussarek, the
Austrian premier.
The monarch returned to Reiche-
nau Tuesday night.
Discussion of the governments
declaration and the question OF
peace was begun yesterday in the
Austrian Chamber of Deputies.
The socialist deputies demanded
peace on the following basis:
The creation of league of ma
tons
No economic warfare.
No annexations.
The restoration of Serbia, Monte
negro and Belgium.
Revision Of the treaties Of Buch-
Arrest and Brest-Litovsk.
Settlement of the eastern ques-
tons on the basis of nationalities.
The regulation of the Polish
question by the Polish constituents.
The establishment of autonomy
for each nation in Austria Hungary.
M. Stanek, a Czech deputy, caus-
ed an uproar in the chamber by vio-
lently attacking Germany. He re-
affirmed the solidarity of the Jugo-
Saws. Poles and Czeehs and de-
CARED that the only means of reach
ing peace was to accept President
Wilson's ID points.
The sitting ended with the intro
duction of a nation demanding an
International congress of peace to
settle the Polish and international
restions.

ARMENTIERES
and ENSTAKEN

cans and French on all the sectors,
which are essential to the carrying
forward of the allied program, have
attacked valiantly and withstood
counter-attacks, smashed the old
Hindenburg positions and material
ly advanced their line. Sequehart,
north of St. Quentin, which the Ger
mans, in a violent counter-attack,
recaptured from the British We'd
nesday, again has been taken by
Field Marshal Haig's men, who now
are out on the rolling country to the
eastward as likewise are all the al
lied troops from St. Quentin north
ward.
Northwest of Rheims the Ger
mans are offering more resistance
to the French along the Aisne and
on the sectors which are protect
ing the eastern end of the Chemin
Des Danes, the western end of
which is dominated by the French
guns, but General Berthelot's forces
nevertheless have captured Cormicy
and reached the Aisne canal be-
tween Concevereux and La Neuvil-
lette, front of more than IS miles.
Americans Approaching Rendezvous
In Champagne the French have
enlarged their gains from the region
north of Somme-Py to the western
fringes of the Argonne forest, TAX
ing prisoners and inhicting heavy
casualties on the enemy. The rail-
road junction point of Challerange,
short distance south of Vouziers,
has been captured and here the
French have continued their
domination of the Aire valley, rum
ming north of the Argonne forest,
and are only awaiting the arrival of
the Americans at the eastern end of
the valley to nip the big wooded
bastion out of the fighting line. The
Americans are slowly approaching
the rendezvous.
In their retreat from Albania, the
Austro-H ungarians everywhere are
in flight before the Italians, burn
ing towns and depots behind him.
Large numbers of prisoners and
quantities of war material have been
captured.

U. P. Section Foreman Buys
Biu Bunch of Liberty Bonds

Union Pacific officials and EN-
ployes are making an effort to put
their subscriptions to the Fourth
Liberty loan over the top before the
campaign is inaugurated officially.
While they may not succeed, they
are OF the opinion that they will
not be very far from the goal by
next Monday.
Union Pacific loan subscriptions
are rolling in from the western d.
vision of the road and it is apparent
that there is a keen rivalry among
the Nebraska, Wyoming and Colo
RADIO men. OF the employees, one
of the largest subscriptions has been
received from Sam Wilson. a sec
ton foreman at Echo, Utah. He has
notified the Omaha Offices of the
company that he has subscribed for
$1,000 of the bonds of the Fourth
Liberty loan. On the third loan he
took $1,000 of the bonds.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 3-Prinee
Macmillan of Baden, new German
imperial chancellor, is a regular
human being" according to James
w. Gerard, former ambassador to
Germany.
81 met Prince Macmillan in Ber-
lin," said Mr.. Gerard. He is a
man who knows English perfectly,
and is one of the few high Germans
who seem to be able to think and
believe like an ordinary human be-
ing. ! saw him with reference to
the prisoner question, sin which he
took great interest. If ] recall cor
rectly, he went to Stockholm in the
interest of the general Red Cross
and prison work conference.
"He is a man of most charming
appearance and manner. and indulg-
e:lt of the views of other countries
and other civilizations, which no
other German that I ever met occu-
pying an official position was.
HE is not the direct heir of the
present grand duke of Baden; l
think he is a nephew; he always car
ries a book of Emerson's essays in
his pocket. He holds the rank of
full general in the German army, al
though without command.

Menace TO HUN
Retreat CROWS
CONTINUED From Page One.)

British commander to move for
ward to the southeast in a wide en-
circling movement. For that rea-
son it is thought a new drive is to
be anticipated on the Roulers front
with large French or British forces
supplementing the work of the Bel
glan armies.
Fall of Douai Foreshadowed.
The evacuation OF Lens fore
shadows the early fall OF Douai, al
ready closely pressed from the
south. 1t is now clear that the
grand strategy of Marshal Foch
contemplated pinching the enemy
out of the whole Lille-Douai sector
and the abnormal quiet that has
prevailed along the Lens front up
to now is explained. The supreme
commander today is realizing the
full success of that plan,
What effect the break in the
north may have on the remainder
of the line remains to be seen. I'm
doubtedly, it is said, an element of
successful withdrawal will be nee
essarily the concentration of a
great force to hold up the British
under General Plumer and the
French and Belgians further north
from continuing their drive east
ward. A way must be kept open
for the retreating armies.
Retire on Rheims Front.
Before Rheims, however, the enc
my already has let 60 of the valu-
able defensive positions on the St,
Thierry plateau and stands on
weak front with his back to open
country beyond the Laon-Rheims
road. Just north of St. Quentin the
British were again hammering for
ward today toward the valley OF the
Disc in a movement that imperlls
the whole German line between the
Disc and the Aisne. The urgent
situation around Lille might dictate
a suspension of the withdrawal near
Rheims, but it looks now as though
lllC movement " dS wv ldi
to be arrested and British occupa-
ton of the Disc line east Of St.
Quentin beyond doubt would force
not only acceleration but wide ex-
tension of the withdrawal.
Nor is the Rheims situation of
the enemy perilous only on this
sector. East of the cathedral city
a pocket is forming with the French
fourth army west of the Argonne
menacing the security of the Ger
man troops on that front The
momentary lull in the fighting on
the American lines at the Mouse, as
Pershing's men consolidate their
positions before the new German
line, may portend a new blow at
any moment and the continued quiet
along TIL immediate front of Rheims
may foreshadow an early attack
there at the heart of the weakened
German defensive structure with
open country beyond.

FRENCH CAPTURE

Crest Of Blanc Mont Gained
in Champagne Advance;
Cormicy, Northwest Of ,
Rheims, Also Taken.

Paris, Oct. 3.-The French troops
captured $500 prisoners today, the
war Office announces tonight. They
made an important advance to the
northwest of Somme-Py, in the
Champagne, occupying the crest of
Blanc Mont.
Cormicy, northwest of Rheims,
has also been captured.
In taking Challerange and the
heights Of Croix Des Soudans last
night General Gouraud's troops
have accomplished another re-
markable feat of arms. There is
probably nothing more formidable
in the Hindenburg line anywhere
than the defenses which the Ger
mans had raised here to defend their
access to the region commanding
the valley OF the Aire and Grandpre.
After breaking through lines of
trenches and barbed wire five miles
deep General Gouraud attacked this
position and carried it against rein
forced troops that counter-attacked
him three times in vain. a

seriously compromises the position
of whatever German troops remain
in the forest of Argonne and in the
region north Of Orfeuil. IT,.
No longer is there an outlet to
the west from the Argonne region
open to the enemy and the Ameri-
can advance along the eastern edge
of the forest virtually closes the
eastern exit from the Grandpre gap.
The only railroad line available
to the troops in the wooded region
north of Orfeuil is now under the
fire of French guns.
Vouziers is directly threatened by
the latest advance. In the center
of long battle line General Berthe
lots troops have advanced within
close reach of the forest of Brimont
and have captured Loivre. This
encourages the hope that the city of
Rheims will soon be entirely freed
from the fire of German artillery.
With St. Quentin and the sub
urb of Isle in his hands, General
Debeney has made further gains
to the south, obtaining a foothold
in the enemy's trenches west of
Melville St. Armand and Itancourt.
Several lines Of trenches were con-
quered in that region by the French
after a violent struggle.
