Confer on Next Drive

Fourteen Nebraska district man.
ayers attended the first conference
of the Fourth Liberty Loan drive a,
the Chamber OF Commerce today
The meeting began At ll:00 and lasted
until the middle of the afternoon.
Most of the time of the conference
was spent in making plans and hear
ing reports from all over the state
as to preliminary work already done
in preparation for the campaign,
which begins the last week in Sep
tember. One county, the name Of
which is withheld, is already we'll or.
ganized, leaders say,

chairman, who has just returned from
Kansas City, presided. He passed on
to the district managers many. sug-
gestions he had received at the inter

City. o. T. Eastman and E. F. Folda,
who with Mr.. Byrne, compose the
Nebraska committee, spoke of plans

bill, as not legitimate, in Gods name
how does he ever expect the United
States to win this war. and how do
tyou, friend Flansburg, expect it?
To Divide the People. y
81 presume now that the dollar on
the flag has been so universally con-
demned that big business will be
used as a substitute to prejudice and
divide the people of this country. In
saying these things we assume that
Mr.. Norris is as patriotic as he
knows how to be.
1--WE need more than mere effer-
vescent patriotism, or patriotism that
is akin to sentimentalism. We need
patriotism and judgment and brains,
responsible men who know what a
Legitimate measure is when it is in
troduced into congress. s-
"Mr. Norris and Mr.. La Toilette
may have thought that they could
defend their opposition to the rev.
enue bill, during elections, on the
grounds that the profteers and
wealthy people of the present day
should pay the bills This does not
square with his voting against the
revenue bill which taxes excess pro-
fits as high as 65 per cents and his
not Opposing a single bond issue. If
this were a war for this generation
only, there might be some defense
to his opposition to the revenue bill
because it was not high enough. but
this would lead to opposing all bond
issues. 1t is supposed by the Amerl--
can people, and the entire civilized
world, that this is war testing civil
ization and for the good Of future
generations. That is why we are in it..
it is our justification and pride.
II do not see how you can. if you
investigate his record, endorse the
same. :.
II do not believe that President
Wilson is open to the charge that he
is working with big business in the
offensive way in which the card OF
Mr.. Norris uses that term. Mr.. Will
son wanted the revenue bill passed,
Mr. Wilson wanted the declaration OF
war bill passed, and the other bills
above referred to, and the loyal
republicans of the United States,
with good Judgment, supported him
in it.
In No Candidates Interest.
"Could Mr.. Norris, the Gronnas,
the La Follettes, the Vardamans. and
Hardwicks had their way about it,
no declaration of war could have
been made in the first place, no army
would have been raised IN the second
place, and no means to support it
would have been voted in the third
place, or, if no. other alternative were
open to them after the declaration Of
war. if they could have voted such a
tax upon business in this country as
| to have destroyed it, they could have

prevented the manufacture of muni.
tions of war, and supplies for our sol
oiers by opposing revenue bills un.
der the pretext of being friends o.
the common people.
There is one blessed good thing If
this country. and that is. we are al
common people, and we are all unit
ed, and labor is not looking for any
such sop in these times as big bust
ness and dollar mark on the flag.
They are looking for patriotic judg'
ment, like every other good Ameri.
can citizen, regardless of party.
IF the same kind of support to
&every Legitimate measure had been
accepted in Wisconsin. It would have
elected La Follette's candidate to the
United States senate.

War Crisis.

% F. S. Howell, former United States
!. Attorney and ex-chairman of the
Douglas county republican central
committee, has written an open let
ter to c. c. Fransburg of Lincoln, in
(Which he refutes the allegations made
-sby Flansburg on postal cards being

printed thereon as president. Ny long
acquaintance with you has caused me
s.sto feel great disappointment in al
lowing your name to be connected
with some OF the statments con-
tained on the card.
ar There is one sentence on the card,
which, taken in connection with Mr..

measures has convinced me and
thousands of other republicans in Ne
braska and millions of them in the
United States, that Mr.. Norris has
done nothing to materially assist in
any practical way, the active, speedy
and immediate prosecution of the war.
That sentence is: He has supported

the war. o.

1T is my understanding that Mr..
Norris was one of the, wilful II SEN
+. ators, who defeated a vote in the sem

house by four-ffths majority. He

pro-German sympathizers and Ger
man spies and propogandists in this
country, and being absent from the
senate atsthe time the vote was taken
thereon, his attitude and association
had been such that Senator Gronna of
North Dakota, one of the few sena-
tors of the United States classed with
Toilette, felt free to announce, and
did announce, that Mr.. Norris would
vote against the bill if present.
THE word, legitimate used as it
IS, is subject to definition. The only
way that the people have of arriv-

TO interpret it in the light of the bills

his hcinous offenses would parade

Body Which Has Played I'm
portant Part in the War
Through Today
100000 MEN ARE LISTED
ManpoWer Of North Dakota
Classified for Future Mill
tary Service
100000 MEN ARE LISTED

The North Dakota district exemp-
ton board, after Is very Dusy months,
today found itself without a job The
duties Of the district board ended
Sunday evening, when a telegram
came from Provost Marshal General
Crowder directing the suspension OF
further operations on the part Of this
body. In the same message, General
Crowder directed that local boards
proceed with the classified ton of all
September IL registrants between the
ages of IS and SO inclusive. The clas-
shification Of registrants from 10 to
36 inclusive already had been ordered,
and Provost Marshal Crowder now in
cludes In this group registrants Of IS.
The work of classification will be
done by local boards, which in each
county will be expected to remain on
the job and to work just as assiduous-
ly as though the great war were still
on until every registrant shall have
been properly classified. Uncle Sam
will then have at his disposal in the
state Of North Dakota a complete cen
sus of available manpower between
the ages of 49, and 36, classified and
grouped as to eligibility for military
service The number so classified
will exceed 100000.
North Dakota, because it's popula-
ton is less than 100000. was forced
to content itself with one district
board. Had there been 100000 more
people in the state, North Dakota
could have had two boards. AS it was
one board has handled all the exemp'
ton claims for 100000 people, and 1t
has been some task. Remarkably lit.
tie complaint from any source has
been registered against the district
board. It's rulings have seldom been
contested There has ibeen the usual
small percentage Of appeals to the
president, but in no instance has the
district board been reversed. Gen
orally the sentiment seems to be ir
| North Dakota that the district board
| throughout it's exacting deliberations
used good sense, justice and SOUND
Judgment.
The members of this board, nov
honorably retired, are L. E. Firdzell

BY A. e. GELDHOF
N. e. A. Washington Bureau,
1129-1134 Munsey BLDG,

Washington, D. Z.
Convene an international court tC
try the ex-kaiser for his crimes
against the world.
That's the latest suggestion i!
Washington Official circles, in answe
to the question every man, woman ant
child is asking: What shall we dc
with Bill Hohenzollcrn?
1t was first advanced by Senate,
Miles Poindexter Of Washington, II
an interview today for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.
Senator PoindeXter who was a Spo
kane lawyer and district judge before
his election to congress, is an author
lit yon international law. Here i:
what he says:
: 1.-THE great powers united for the
purpose of defining international law
as the code of honor of nations. Ger
tainly the nations which created in
ternational laws have the power to
enforce them
why should they not now estaJ-
lish an international court, separate
from the Peace Congress or the allied
war council, or any organization that
may come out of a league rOf nations,
for the sole purpose OF placing the ex-
kaiser on trial and sentencing him to
his just deserts
Wanton Crimes Violate All Laws.
HE has certainly been guilty Of vi
olations Of all the laws of civilized
warfare, written and unwritten, and
%of the international laws covering the
land, the sea and the air Some of
the crimes Of which he stands &C
cused are:
1.-THE destruction of private proper
ty, by whole cities.
1.-THE wanton murder Of non-com-
batants on land.
1.-THE murder Of innocent women
and babies at sea.
",rhe killing of civilians and destruc-
ton of property by air raids on non
defended cities.
"The murder of Edith Cavell and
Captain Fryatt.
"The sinking of the Lusitania.
The fragrant violations Of Ameri-
States into the war.
"The introduction Of poison gases
and other uncivilized weapons.
There are many other offenses for
which he should be indicted and
brought to trial. Holland would give
him up readily in such an event; she
doesn't want him, anyway, and would
be only too. glad to have somebody
take him off her hands.
An international tribunal of this
character, composed of the best inter.
national and criminal lawyers of the
world. could be depended on to mete
out just punishment to the man who
brought four years and a half Of hor-
ror on the world"
VIII onscienee Punish Wilhelm?
Another new possibility was sug-
gested TO me by professor of psy-
chology. His contention is that VIII
helm the Damned's conscience will
provide far more just punishment for
him than any fate that can be forced
on him by extreme measures.
His plan is to bring the ex-kaiser
before court which would be in con-
tinuous session for a year or more.
Each day during his period Count
Hohenzollern would be placed On the
stand, to be examined on his
crimes.
He would be tried en- q large mum.

What form of government will Ger

WHICH SOCIALIST FACTION WILL
BOSS: T..
Beyond question the socialists will
control the new government, according
to belief here. The question now is
which socialist faction will gain con
troll?
There are two socialist parties which
now are the gripping power in Ger
many:
l. Majority socialists or social DEM
ocrats, headed by Scheidemann and
Ebert. now serving as chancellor, who
supported the war and were looked on
by radical socialists all over the world
as instruments Of autocracy.
,. Independent socialists, headed by
Carl Liebknecht, who opposed the war
ard fought for peace, but because they
were in the minority were prosecuted.
Friedrich Ebert, former editor Of a
socialist newspaper, and member of the
reichstag from Bremen, was made
Oh DIT, Afoxy %o 40 cn
the socialists Of the majority. He ap-
parently is in control at present not
only Of the de facto government, but OF
the Scheidemann branch Of the social
ist party. .---
POLITICAL CHAOS LIKELY FOR
AWHILE.
It is not yet clear to which faction
the red guards" who have revolted
seized the German fleet, occupied Der.
lin and set up workmen's and soldiers
councils, will adhere. The belief here
is that they are members of the minor,
ity.
Now that autocracy's power is gone,
the independent socialists will increase
in numbers and will organize soviets
OF their own. Then will come a clash
between the two socialist groups which
will parallel in almost every particular
the fight between the social democrats
and the Bolsheyiki in Russia.
According to present indications the
new ruler Of Germany will be selected
from one Of these men:
Majority Socialists Scheidemann
Ebert, Suedekum.
Independent Socialists: Harden
Liebknecht. Haase, Ledebour.
Out of the whole group the man Wit
stands head and shoulders above then
all is Macmillan Harden, the fearless
editor who persistently criticised ant
harrassed HohenZolern during the foul
years of war. But it is u question
whether he will be able to gather sui
fcent support to force his election.
Leaders of the Friends of German
Democracy in Washington declare thai
neither Scheidemann, Ebert nor Suede
kun will be acceptable to the minority
party, even as compromise. They g
