minutes. More bombs were dropped
in this interval and it is believed
the undersea craft was either badly
damaged or destroyed.
Ensign Carson's machine, with
two others, was on patrol when the
submarine was sighted on the sur
face, and the ensign made for it.
AS he was getting into position to
use his machine gun or to bomb
the undersea boat the German fired
five shrapnel shells, three OF which
burst close to the seaplane, doing
it some damage. The other sea-
planes did not take part in the at
tack.
Ensign Carson remained over the

boat was no longer in evidence.

GERMANY'S BAD
PLIGHT Barred
BY HERTL|NG
Admission of Gravity of Stu
alton Only Noteworthy
Feature of Chan
ce||or's Speech.

Washington, Sept. 25.-There was
just one thing in Chancellor Won
Hertling's speech which interested
American officials. 1t was his frank
and open admission of the serious
ness of the ineernal situation in
Germany.
Following so closely upon the
formal declaration by the social
democrats of the conditions upon
which their party would consent
to participate in the government,
the speech was regarded as intend
ed primarily for internal consump-
ton in Germany. 1t is regarded
as part of plan to pursuade the
socialists to come to the aid of the
government in its grave straits by
demonstrating that there are no sub
stantial differences of principles be-
tween their party and the govern
ment.
The inclination of the govern
ment to regard the speech as the
latest movement in the German
peace offensive and as insincere and
unworthy of consideration is based
upon the feeling that in scarcely a
single point does the premier make
an unqualified declaration of ad-
herence to the IA principles laid
down by President Wilson. Every
where in his speech officials said
there were limitations and qualihca-
tions.
Through neutral countries have
come reports of disorganization,
mutiny, rioting and desperation in
Germany, but it remained for the
German chancellor to add the official
confirmation which was wanting.

Amsterdam, Sept. 25.
Captain Bruenninghaus,
speaking for the German
navy department in the main
committee of the Reichstag
today, said that U-boats were
sinking more cargo space
than was being built by the
entente allies and that the
number of German submar-
ines in service today was
larger than at any period of
the war.
The navy" Captain Bruenning-
haus continued 'is still convinced
thyt our U-boat warfare is the sole
means for making the Anglo Saxon
race see reason"
The captain made strong appeal
to the members of the reichstag to
keep up the German belief in the
effectiveness of the submarine.
Won Payer Defends His Speech.
Vice Chancellor Won Payer de-
Tended his Stuttgart speech in
which he declared the treaties of Bu-
charest and Brest-Litovsk must
stand. The vice chancellor said it
would be mistake to abandon those
treaties insofar as they regulate
the relations between the signator-
les. but he added:
IF one day we are able to display
so much insight, self-control and un-
selhshnesS that we can, without in
jury to our interests, permit our
enemies to collaborate in questions
which only affect them indirectly if
at all, we can, after all, come to an
understanding with those who, with
us are concerned, whether we will
discuss on the basis of reciprocity

General Explains Defeats.

GRAFTON and Clash May

Omaha is face to face with
the possibility of the mayor
and city council declaring
that 225 members of the fire
department are guilty of in
subordination.
The situation which involv-
es the unionization of the
fire department will be
brought to a climax at this

council when Mayor Smiths
resolution, offered last week
and deferred from last Mon
day morning, will be brought

Indications are the resolution will
be adopted. Its adoption will mean

stated that their union will not draw
back from its determination to hon

with the American Federation of
Labor.
Afiliation with other organizations
was the sticking point which the
conferees could not bridge in a dis

Neither the mayor nor Commission

their position that the affiliated
unions for either police or fire de-

The policemen's union, represent

to the extent of agreeing not to affil-
late with the American Federation
of Labor or the Central Labor union,
which concession disposed of that
matter, at least for the present. 1t
was agreed that the policemen shall
continue their organization within
their own ranks, which they will do,

AHEAD OF BOCHE,
SAYS LEADER OF
negro TROOPS
Colonel William Hayward Tells
of 1923 Days in Trenches
and Interesting Facts
of the War.

Col. William Hayward, at the
head of a regiment of negro troops
picked from the Harlem district in
New York, has been in the thick OF
the fighting in France. has been
commended by General Chabord
his commander, for the work he and
his men performed, and is now in
a rest camp after hard fighting for
a sustained period of 129 days.
Writing to William H. Pitzer. his
former law partner, at Nebraska
City, he says:
"Well, we are "at rest" A few
days ago a tired, ragged, lousy,
battle-scarred regiment trudged
out of sector after being under fire
every day for 129 days, after being
through the greatest battle in the
worlds history and after holding
what was at one time, GA months
after the United States declared
war on Germany, one-hfth of all
the ground the whole American
army was holding, when that army
had about ten times as many COM
missioned officers in France as we
had enlisted men.
The French generals, from Gen
eral Gouraud down, say we did our
work as we'll as the veteran French
infantry regiments on either side OF
US. We captured prisoners, includ-
ing a German officer and lost none
to them. We killed many of them
in their trenches and inside Our own
lines. We we're never driven from
our front trenches, although assault
ed repeatedly. mo Mans land
soon became 18th B. Y. land after
we took over each of the sectors
we held, the last one being the
most active and dangerous sector
from Switzerland to the channel, so
the French tell us.
On total killed and captured we
are away ahead of the boche-may-
be 100. And we did what we were
given to do with a minimum of
losses.
General Gouraud has inscribed to
me copy of his now famous ad-
dress to his soldiers before the
great battle in which he expresses
his great esteem "Au Colsnel Hay
ward ct son brave regiment"
So as we tramped away to the
south in the, sunshine and dust OF
the late days of August and the
sound of the damned guns grew
fainter and fainter, and we took off
our steel helmets and put away our
gas masks, temporarily, you can
imagine how the spirits of the men
grew high, and how they sang
marching songs Justify and what our
thoughts were.
And when one remembers the be-
ginnings of this little old hand
picked, homemade regiment of
Harlem colored boys and that we
we're never inspected, never trained,
never coached, by an officer outside
the regiment, that We were never in
an American brigade or division.
that we never had training period,
even ever so short, as all the other
American regiments had, but in

Big Crowd First Night;
Shows of High Merit

ATTENDANCE RECORD.
1917. 1918.
Wednesday =. .........4,102 1884

The opening nj ght of the Ak
Sar-Ben carnival was surprisingly
lively considering war conditions.
Threatened rains failed to keep away
the crowd and more than the usual
pep" was noticeable. Shows re-
ported a rushing business and were
surprised at the opening night at
tendance.
"Hot dog" men shouted their
wares in the usual carnival fashion,
and the hungry rushed up to b.
fed. Confetti and other things that
60 to make up a joyous entertain
ment were plentiful and joy reigned
supreme.
Fort Omaha was represented by
a plentiful sprinkling of men in uni
form. Girls engaged in war work
were evident by their costumes, en-
ioying a little recreation after their
days toll.
Patriotism to Fore.
Women's patriotic organizations
have booths on the grounds where
they sell merchandise for the Inner
man." and were constantly kept busy
by the merrymakers. Plenty of mu-
sic adds to the festival feelings of
those in attendance.
A battle of royal between mere
man-Captain Dan Riley. the lion
tanner. and seven vicious swapping
lions. two leopards, two pumas, and
one jaguar, in which the latter were
subdued, was one of the spectacles
that attracted attention.
The captain, who is a veteran of
the game, carries many scars OF pre-
vious battles with the untamable
beasts, but his morale" is still un-
broken as the covering mien of his
snarling antagonists obviously in
dicated.
An amusing incident occurred
when Harry Lewis, another trainer,
endeavored to show crowd of
spectators how really harmless the
"cats" were.
"Baby Strikes Back.
Reaching his hand through the
bars of one of the cages he essayed
to bestow an effectionate stroke on
the furry back of baby jaguar.
I While his efforts obviously were
appreciated, the baby" in recipro-
eating accidentally" stroked back.
But he stroked too hard, apparently.
for his gentle massage removed a
liberal quantity of skin from the
trainer hand. However, in justice
to the Juvenile one, it must be said,
he made all effort to undue his mis-
take. With his tongue he lovingly
caressed the wound. which bled
copiously. But, certain suspicious
witnesses were inclined to believe
the act was inspired by his weak
ness for the red fluid rather than
contrition over the accident.
The knights of Ak-Sar-Ben have
engaged a band for the carnival
grounds and the Kennedy shows
have another band. There will not
be dull moment during the next
10 days.
The annual electric parade and pa
qeant will be held on Wednesday
night. October 2, and the military
and civic parade will be on Thurs
dav afternon, October 8.
1.-THE Answer of the Allies" is the
title of this years electrical parade.
The military and civic parade will
he one of the most interesting and
;n,pressive demonstrations ever wit
messed in Omaha, according to the
promises Of those who are in charge.
