Senator Norris, on the other hand, is believed to have the advan- tage of popularity among the farm CTS oi both parties, and, as it is con- ceded that he will have the support of the Germans and the Swedes, his candidacy is considered decidedly for midable at the present time.

Washington, D. C., July H.-Four years ago tomorrow at the hour of noon the greatest armed conflict the world has ever known, or is ever like ly to know. was launched in Vienna by Austria's declaration of war against Siberia.
 Four years of warfare have come and gone and the conflict still con- tinues, greater and more destructive than ever before, with no man able to predict how or when the end will come, though none may doubt the ul- innate success of the Allies. Nearly all the nations of the world are en- gagged in the conflict and tremendous changes are going on in governments and peoples.
 The fourth year contained many great events. The changes in na- tions and peoples were so momentous and the operations are on so vast a scale that the history of a thou sand years of the world scarcely equal the record of this twelve months just passed.
 Throughout the year tremendous fighting has continued along the dead locked line of trenches in France. The battle of Marne in 1914, the battle of the Scmme in 1916, and the battles of Arras and the Aisne in 1917 have been succeeded during the past few months by terrific fighting through out almost the entire length of the western front. Four times during this period have the Germans launched desperate drives in their efforts to break through to Paris or the Chan nel only to be hurled back by the he roic armies of the Allies.
 While the terrific fighting along the western front has been the out standing feature of the fourth year of the war there have been other de- 1 velopments of great interest and i'm portance. One of these was the Aus tro- German drive into Italy, the re. suit of which is to be chalked down only as severe disaster to the Gen. tral Powers, The long-range bonn. bardment of Paris, the appearance ot German submarines in the western atlantic, and the brilliant and daring feat of the British in bottling up the Teuton submarine bases at Ostenc and Zeebrugge were among other events that the fourth year added te the history of the war.
 The fifth year of the war begins with the United States in the center of the worlds war stage. A million men are fighting under the Stars ane Stripes in France and more millions are soon te follow. The United States is lending it's money by the hundred It's munitions and supplies are going to every nation warning against Ger
 man autocracy. It is sending foot to the fighting powers and is defyinl

WON TIRPITZ IS
 NEARLY MOBBED

New York, July 2O.-Grand Admir- al von Tirpitz, leader of the Father. land Party and one of the most rabic of Pan- -Germanists, had a narrow es- cape from being handled roughly by an angry crowd at the railroad sta tion at Freienwalds, Brandenburg. re gently, according to letter publish ed in Vorwaerts. of Berlin, copy o1 which has been received here. A pas senger train was crowded and excited passengers were struggling to get or when one discovered a compartment in which sat one man by himself.
 A rush was made for the com partment, but the door was not open ed. Force was about to be used wher the conductor opened the compart ment. The lone passenger looked al the intruders, removed his hat tc show his bald head and stroked his beard. It was Admiral von Tirpitz He maintained a studied silence even when someone stepped up to him ano cried out:
 "Yes, that's the way the Fa.herlane people are. They reserve for them. selves the comfortable comparments and don't care if the people next doc, are crushed to death."
 No reply was vouched and no pas senger dared take seat in the Ad miraPs compartment.

Lincoln, Neb., July 26.-The oppos- ing political factions in Nebraska are mastering their forces in anticipation of the first bg drve of the 1918 cam pagn which will come to head in the statewide primaries to be held nexa month. Prohibition and loy- alty to the nation in the war will fur nish the dominant issues of the cam poign which promises to be one of the hardest fought and also enc of the most complicated in many years.
 The nomination for United States senator and governor are the chief pbjectives of the political leaders. Spirited contests are on for these two places on both the Republican and Democratic tickets.
 On the Republican side there is a three-cornered fight for the sena- turial nomination. After seriously considering refusing to become can didate for reelection because of the fight made upon him within RepuD- lican ranks by reason of his vote against the presidents request for a declaration of war against Germany, Senator George w. Norris finally de- cided to try for the nomination. His principal opponent is Congressman Charles H. Sloan of the Fourth dis trict. Representative Sloan is con testing under the same handicap as Senator Norris, namely, his vote

fense he has led fight against the Non-Partisan League and Germanism in the Lutheron church. Lieut.. Gov. Howard has the support of the Bryan faction, as opposed to the Democratic faction led by Senator Hitchcock and National Committeeman Arthur F. Mullen.
 Governor Neville has declined the request of his friends that he become candidate for the senatorship and as formally entered the lists as a candidate for the senatorship and has formally entered the lists as can didate for renomination as governor. His opponent for the gubernatorial
 nomination is Charles w. Bryan
 brother and political manager of Will liam Jennings Bryan, whom he de- feated for the nomination two years ago by a majority of 13,000.
 The principal issue between Neville and Bryan is the prohibition queston. In the face of 29,000 majorty for prohibition at the same election that made him governor and the general satisfaction that exists in the state over the effects of the prohibition
 policy, Governor Neville refused to
 include ratification of the national
 prohibitory amendment in his call
 for a special session of the legisla- ture last March, and during that ses-
 sion used his power to prevent its consideration by either house. The
 Bryan following believe that the
 course pursued by Governor Neville
 has destroyed whatever prestige he
 acquired through what has been rec ognized as a fairly good enforce
 ment of the state prohibitory law. al
 though his influence at the time il
 was enacted was thrown in favor o1 permitting the manufacture of near
 beer and that as the saloons and
 breWeries are now cut of business
 and their political organization gone
 he can now be defeated ln the pri'
 maries.
