Wilson's Principles Adopted
AS Socialist Peace Terms

New York, Aug. 14.-William Eng
lish Walling. secretary of the Social
Democratic league, made public to-
night the text of the organizations in
structions to its mission now visiting
the allied countries. This was done,
Mr.. Walling explained. because the
league had received information that
certain statements of members of the
mission had been used by "pacihst
fanatics" in Europe to give the inn
preston the American people were
not behind the president.
The following were their instruc-
tions in regard to the proposed in
ternational socialist conference:
81. All delegates admitted to the
conference must accept as the min
imum peace terms of democracy the
IA principles formulated by President
Wilson on January 8, and the similar
peace terms adopted by the entente
socialists and the British labor party
at London on February 20.
"2. All delegates must recognize
this war as being war between
autocracy and democracy, and must
be doing all in their power to bring
about the triumph of democracy.
3. All delegates from autocratic
Omaha daily bee., 1918-08-15

countries must be using their full
power for the immediate overthrow Of
their autocratic governments"
Explaining these, Mr.. Walling said:
"The Importance of these instruc-
tions are clear when it is realized
that without them an international So
cialist conference would be COM
posed of at feast 90 per cent of
kaiserists, Lolsheviki, pro-Germans,
pro-bolsheviki, paci6st fanatics. pa
cifst compromisers and neutrals.
"And the power and threat of these
treacherous forces must not be under
estimated even in England and
France. Of the 800 parliamentary
candidates of the labor party SO far
chosen some 225 are pacifsts. While
there is little danger that majority
OF these can be elected, there is grave
danger that very many may be. In
France two-thirds of the socialist
party, led by Longuet. and an even
larger part OF the unions are in the
pacifst camp, in bitter opposition to
their own government and anxious to
meet any and all enemy socialists
the Scheidemann Kaiserists specihcal-
~ included"

new DRIVE
BY ALLIES
IS EXPECTED
Initiative Wrested From Enemy
by Field Marshal FoCh by
Two Blows lie Has
Already Struck.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. IA new drive
against the German positions either at
Flanders or between the Oise and
Scissors is expected by many army
officers here as result of the slow
ing up of the advance in the Picardy
theater.
Outlining the situation at his mid
week conference today, General
March, chief of staff, confined his
statements to pointing out that the
Germans have now been forced back
until they are not within so miles of
Paris at any point. The head of the
army has previously laid stress on
the fact, however, that the greatest
advantage won by Field Marshal Foch
in military way is in having wrest-
ed the initiative from the enemy.
Capture of Noyon, Foreseen.
The opinion prevailed among other
officers that the present struggle
around Roye an Lassigny would
soon terminate in the capture of these
points, to be followed by the taking
of Noyon.
In the course of his discussion Gen.
eral March said that General PERISH
ing now has 1j250000 American troops
organized into the first army corps.
Presumably the Americans on the
British flank in Picardy, identified
by the chief of staff as. the 13lst in
fantry Of the 3Sd (Illinois national
guard) division are among those still
brigaded for training.
1t appeared possible to some Off
GERS that the organization Of the first
American army might be followed by
an all-American attack at some point
on the line which it holds beyond
Verdun, where there has been no re-
cent fighting.
Paris Freed of Menace.
The primary purpose of the two
blows that Marshal Foch has struck
has been realized. Both in the Aisne-
Marne battle and again in Picardy,
the attacks were defensive measures
to free Paris from the menace of the
two wedges the enemy had driven in
that direction. The value of the
drives in this respect was pointed out
by General March today.
Officers here, therefore, anticipate
a complete change in the character Of
the fighting in the next phase of the
battle, with Foch's armies assuming
the offensive in the fullest sense Of
the word and striking to force the
enemy back in such manner that he
cannot avail himself of his old Hin
denburg line of defenses.
1t appears very probable to some
observers that the Flanders front
might see the next blaze kindled with
a double drive by British forces to
pinch out the salient there as it has
been pinched out at the Marine and
again in Picardy.

SUBMARINE GAS
ATTACK THEORY
HELD ERRONEOUS
No Explanation Given, How
ever, as to Source of the
Fumes Which 0verCame
-. Coast Guards. h., .s...,. ,

Washington, Aug. 14.-Although
final reports of the investigation into
the "gas attack" on Smiths Island,
North Carolina, last Saturday have
not yet reached the Navy department,
there were strong intimations today
that the "gas" was not from a German
submarine, as first reported. No ex-
PLANTATION of the incident has been Of
fered and none probably will be until
complete information is at hand.
1t is understood there is reason to
believe that no submarine was in the
vicinity of the island at the time six
men in the coast guard station and
lighthouse were reported to have been
overcome. The theory that subma
rine had discharged gas-laden oil on
those waters never was accepted by
many naval experts and fishermen liv-
ing in that vicinity have insisted that
no submersible could have approached
close enough to the island to dis
charge gas that would have remained
effective until the oil carrying it had
drifted in with the tide.
The only reports of further opera
tions by the raiders now in American
waters reaching the Navy department
today gave additional information re-
garding the torpedoing of the oil
tank steamer Frederick R. Kellogg,
the name of which was given in naval
dispatches as Henry S. Kellogg.
Seven men of the crew who are miss
ing are believed to have gone down
with the ship, which sank in five
minutes

MRS. HERDMAN
SAYS LIVED IN
CONSTANT FEAR
Wife Of Former Supreme Court
Clerk in Divorce Pleading
Tells of Husbands Work
..s,.... as Lobbyist.

Listening to secret and mysterious
political plots in the dead of night,
when large sums of money we're
handled and discussed, was the lot
of Mrs. Kathryn Herdman when her
husband, r. E. Lee Herdman, now an
Omaha lawyer, was lobbyist in the
legislature at Lincoln, according to
allegations in her amended petition
for divorce filed in district court
Wednesday. Mrs. Herdman is asking
divorce and custody of two minor
children.
The political activities referred to
occurred at the Herdman home in
Lincoln, according to the allegations
in the petition.
Mrs. Herdman alleges that a year
or so after her marriage to Mr.. Herd
man in June, 1902, he quit his posi-
tion as clerk of the supreme court
in Lincoln to take up the business"
of lobbying in the legislature. She
alleges he informed her at the time
that lobbying was dangerous busi-
ness"
Lived in Constant Fear.
She alleges that she was on the
verge of nervous breakdown at the
time, following the birth of child,
but the nightly sessions were forced
upon her and that she constantly
feared that something might happen
to bring disgrace upon the family.
Mrs. Herdman alleges that her hus-
band at all times since their marriage
was particularly cruel and harsh and
because the two children were girls,
he was continually angry, saying
girls are no good"
She says following the birth of the
two children she was in poor health,
but Mr.. Herdman objected strenuous
ly to having a doctor for her, saying
there is nothing the matter with
you," and that he informed the doctor
he would not pay the bills. She al
leges that he was parsimonious in
money matters and never took her to
places of amusement, never accom-
panied her to church or introduced
her to his friends. She alleges he told
her that he was used to associatine
with senator's and bankers and could
not take her into this high class oi
people.
She alleges that she upbraided him
for not quitting the lobbying business
and finding real work and that he
said people thought him rich and he
would not humiliate himself by work.

Mrs. Herdman alleges that her hus,
band is now in possession of $35,00(
worth of money and property and
asks for suitable alimony.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-08-15

Premier Lloyd George and Arthur J..
Balfour, minister of foreign affairs,
proposals for a closer Anglo-Ameri-
can cooperation, both during the war
and afterward. The newspaper says
the proposals involve an offensive and
defensive alliance in which the CO.
operation of other democratic nations
will be welcomed.
Lord Readings visit has mainly to
do with financial readjustments con-
nected with the assumption by the
United States of responsibility for
loans to allied nations heretofore
borne by Great Britain, the Evening
News says, and with the conclusion
OF negotiations for certain further
loans in which the United States,
Great Britain and France are to par
ticipate.
No Political Alliance Planned.
Washington, Aug. 14.-It was
stated authoritatively today that the
subject of British-American offen-
sive and defensive alliance never has
been discussed or even suggested.
The understanding here is that Lord
Readings visit to London is to re-
port personally upon his work in the
United States and to acquaint him
self fully with developments at home.
Any sort of political alliance with
foreign nation would be contrary
to American traditions and officials of
President Wilson's administration
have been careful always to empha-
size that nothing of the kind is in
volved in the participation OF the
United States in the world war as a
co-belligerent of the nations fighting
Prussian autocracy.
