ANOTHER PERIL

If the impassioned cry of the Cologne Volks Zei- tung is needed that army 3,0OO0O0 additional men that Congress is talking about will be a patching to what must be raised before long
 The editor of that paper calls upon all Europe Spaniards Scandnavians Belgans, Irishmen, English men, Frenchmen, the wild men of the Steppes and the wilder men the Bolsheviki Board of Peoples Com. missoners to join in grand offensive against the materiastic, putocratic barbarans of America
 It is as plain the spike the helmet of a kind and lovely German General, the Voks Zei- tung that this country is merely provoking more war in Europe in order capture the trade of the world and drive all the really civilized people the earth beneath yoke of dollars.
 We trust that the War Department is fully alive to the peril that this plea raises and that Premier David Lloyd George is being carefully watched by secret service men for signs of awakening to the nature of the discovery, made in Germany of Amer. ica's real intent.

SPEAKING OF BRAINS

George w. Wckersham former United States At torney General, has been making another speech 1T which he said that while he did not want to under estimate the gaantry of the British Army France has the only intelligent General Staff of all the Allies adding:
 In the last analysis the will be won by
 brains. The German military organization can
 not be defeated by dependence on fools, money
 or men, but necessates the intelligent, sc1en-
 tific application of these definite factors. The
 United States will have to look to Gen. Foch
 for the intelligent application of our resources
 Just why should American even if sincere ir his opinion publicly slur of our Allies, unless to hear himself talk? It may be true that the war will be by brains, but it will not be won by the sort of brain functioning exhibited by Wickersham

Lincoln, Neb., June l.-(SpeciaD.- -
That Professor G. w. A. Luckey did
not want to play the game of follow
the leader" in the war because he did
not know where the leader was head
ed, was the testimony of Chancellor
Samuel Avery of the University Of
Nebraska today. The chancellor
came from Washington this morning
to testify in the hearing of professors
charged with lukewarm patriotism.
The chancellor said he had asked
Professor Luckey about the Howell
incident where it had been charged
that he had said in a speech that this
was not his war. Chancellor Avery
said the professor said he favored a
defensive war instead of an offensive
and did. not favor sending our SOL
dlers across to fight.
The chancellor told Luckey he had
better make a plain statement of his
support of the president, which he
did. This was not satisfactory to the
chancellor and when the latter re-
monstrated with him, Luckey said:
How can l support the president
when don't know what he is going
to do" The chancellor asked him to
cut out some of the explanation, but
he sent it to the newspapers as it was.

HOW GERMAN PERFIDY
USED RED CROSS MONEY
FOR ENEMY PROPAGANDA
Draft Sent Bernstorff for
Relief of Sufferers Was
Turned Over to DR.. Dern-
berg and Deposited to His
Own Account.

How Nebraskans of German
ancestry were imposed upon to
furnish money for German
propaganda in this country by
appealing to their sympathies in
the name of the German Red
Cross is illustrated by the draft
herewith facsimiled.
The exposure of this fraud
was made last week up in
Knox county through Editor
w. H. Needham's Bloomfield
Monitor.
The money for the draft was
subscribed by Germans living
in Knox county for Red Cross
work in Germany during 1915,
and the publication recently of
the evidence that the money
instead of being sent across the
ocean was turned over to the
chief of German propaganda
in this country, DR.. Dernburg,
for purposes entirely reverse to
Red Cross relief in Germany,
was a shock to many of the
contributors.
Origin of "That" Draft.
Mayor William H. Harm of Bloom
field, upon request Of Editor Need
ham, furnished the original cancelled
draft for The Bee.
Enclosed we hand you photo
graphic copy Of draft for $S2e.7s
which was sent to Johan Won Bern
storff, German ambassador, jan
uary II, 1915. This money was
collected from the people of Bloom
field and vicinity for the purpose of b
having it reach the German Red
Cross for the relief of the widows
and orphans in Germany. At that

victory, General Bridges. head of a
special British military mission tc
the United States, said here tonight
in discussing the renewal of the
German drive.
The objects now before the Ger
mans, the general said, appear to be
threefold--the capture of Paris, the
division of the main allied armies by
an advance through Amiens and the
capture of the channel ports.
While now on a narrow and
dangerous salient said the general,
the Germans will be in a favorable
position for advance on Paris should
they be successful in pushing out the
west leg of the salient and joining
it up with the Amiens salient. That,
he said, appeared to be their inten-

and it should be remembered that the
active collection of so-called German
Red Cross funds was carried on
throughout the state wherever there
were German-born people who could
be induced to give money for this
purpose. How much the grand to-
tai amounted to is probably known
only to Bernstorf and Dcrnburg and
the other agents of the kaiser who
took the money and used it, not to
relieve suffering in Germany, but to
work up support for Germany in this
country and perhaps to pay the spies,
the incendiaries, the munition plant

ployed by them to keep the United
States from helping the allies or
from protecting itself against Ger

use of money raised lere for German
