VICTORY FAIR
I PROMISES TO Be
BIGGEST EVER
New Buildings Completed and
Everything Ready to Open
State Fair Next
Sunday.
By P. A. BARROWS.

Lincoln, Aug. 24-(Special.)-
Everything is set for the Big Vic,
tory Fair" which will open at the
state fair ground a week from to,
day. Secretary Danielson and his
office force and the superintendent
are sure that everything will be
ready, The new buildings will be
completed and, ready for occupancy
the big new main street Will be
completed and when the sacred con-
certs begin and the gates open on
Sunday the people will have a
chance to know the real ability Of
Secretary Danielson in making
things hop.
A month ago people shook their
heads when Danielson told them
that the buildings would be com
pleted in time for the fair. They
thought he was giving them warm
atmosphere, but he has made good
and >this morning said to The Bee
that everything was practically fin
ished and nothing left now but
cleaning up the buildings. When
people walk through the gates they
are going to see some wonderful
transformations around the OLD fair
grounds.
Outlook Never Better.
The writer has been covering
state fair exhibitions for several
years, but never in his experience
has the outlook looked better. not
only for a record-breaking exhibi-
ton, but record-breaking attend
ance. All depends upon the weather,
but it is said that the two secre-
taries-the weather and the state
fair-are working in complete har-
mony this year, and as result
there will be nice rain along
some time the last of this week
which will put the roads in good
shape by the time the fair opens
for automobiling and as a result the
crowds will be here to enjoy the
good weather during the entire
week.
Monday wifi be chair raising day"
Not that anybody is going to lose
their scalp. Nothing of the kind
There will be no Indians on the
grounds except Secretary Danielson
and his tribe, all good Indians. But
Monday is the day when the auto
mobile races will be pulled off
Automobile drivers who have broken
worlds records on dirt tracks say
that the Nebraska state fair track
is the fastest and safest track in the
country for breaking records. This
was proven last year when the mile,
two-mile and three-mile records
were broken. By happy combina-
ton of good judgment and good
luck, the turns on the state fair
track are graded up to the perfect
slant-not too steep nor too fiat. By
a treatment of straw during the
winter the track is kept springy and
responds quickly to racing needs.
Consequently those who attend The
fair Monday are going to see enough
excitement to last them for many a
day.

MEXICO STUDYING
POINTS AT ISSUE
WITH WASHINGTON
Desire to Reach Arrangement
Satisfactory to U, S.. Ac-
cording to Secretary.

Mexico City. Aug. 24-The high
est Mexican government officials are
making close study of the principal
points at issue between the Mexi-
can and American governments with
the view of reaching arrangements
satisfactory to the United States
without impairment of Mexican ma
tional interests and Mexican SOW
ereignty, according to declarations
made Saturday by Luis Cabrera, sec
rotary of the treasury and one of the
leading members of the cabinet.
These points are petroleum legis-
lation, indemnifcations, frontier Wig
lance and guarantee for the safety Of
foreigners and foreign interests in
Mexico. Within three or four days,
according to Senior Cabrera, the gov
eminent officials will begin giving
out to the Mexican press statements
regarding the government stand
point on the questions at issue and
the means which Mexico can right
fully adopt to meet foreign govern
mental representations. The declara-
tons of the secretary are somewhat
of an indirect reply to critics of the
administration.
Senior Cabrera asserted that, in
Guiding every item, Mexico's obliga-
ton could be paid in full with $780,
100000
He said that the total debts could
be given roughly as follows: Dam
age resulting from the Madero and
constituencies revolutions, 86,0o0,-
600 pesos; indemnihcations to for
eign interests for the use of railway
and other public utilities, l00,000,000
pesos; 1.-THE remainder of l,000,000,000
pesos, or half billion dollars, is
divided between the redemption of
paper money, interest unpaid on the
foreign debt and the amount due
banks.

CzECHO-SLOvAC
CONDITIONS ARE
BETTER HOOVER
Says Poland Also Recovering,
\ Due to Arrival Of Harvest,
But That Food Exports
r, Still Needed.

Vienna, Monday, Aug. 1s.-(By
The Associated Press. )-Herbert
Hoover, head of the inter-allied re-
lief organization, and his staff,
reached Vienna today after a trip OF
10 days through Czecho- Slovakia
and Poland.
Mr.. Hoover told the correspon-
dent, that general conditions in
CzechosSiovakia may require some
minor food imports during the mex,
year. but more particularly needs
raw materials. Portions of old Po-
land will require some more food
exports and also will need raw ma
terials in order that the enormous
number of unemployed may be put
to work in the manufacture of prime
necessities.
Complete Generalization.
In the areas recovered during the
last two months from the bolshe
wiki, Mr.. Hoover said, the economic
situation could only be expressed by
the term complete decentralization"
He continued:
Gas a result of seven invasions by
different armies the country has
largely been denuded of buildings.
The estates of the larger land own
ers have been destroyed. and while
the peasants are cultivating approx
mately foodstuffs for their own sup
plies, these regions, which in normal
times export very large quantities
OF food. mostly from the large es-
tates, are four-hfths uncultivated.
Caldron of Revolution.
In addition to the destruction and
robbery which accompanied the re-
peated invasion of rival armies these
have been, of course, through a cal
dron of bolshevik revolution and the
intellectual classes either fled from
the country or to a considerable ex-
tent were imprisoned. Some were
executed. The -Ruthenian peasants
nave been stirred up against the
great land owners, which accounts
iot the destruction of the equipment
IF large landed properties 1t ap-
pears to us that it will require years
for this region to recover.
There are virtually no regular
supplies of foodstuffs except in the
form of American relief. Prices are
fantastic. The terrible consequences
that arose from revolution are made
worse by the epidemic of typhus,
The hospitals are full of victims"

AT THE
|THEATERS

MARION MORGAN and her
M dancers have an offering of
AVA artistic worth at the Orpheum
this week. An episode of the time
of Attila and the Huns is presented
in the form of a dance drama by a
company of capable men and
women. The artistry of the pro-
duction lies in its simplicity. Con-
trasts between the brutalites OF the
Huns and the culture of the Roman
maidens. are we'll presented. The
act is sumptuously staged, the light,
color and musical effects lending a
charm that is enjoyable. The dance
numbers of the Roman girls show
the careful training they have re-
ceived under the direction of Miss
Morgan. The scene where Attila I'M
dulges in an orgie, drinks to satia-
ton, and is then slain by his own
Sword of God" in the hands of
Illdica is intensely dramatic.
Lester, who has been here be-
fore, wins popular place as a
ventriloquist. His humor dispels
the worst case of blues. Harry
Holman, rotund comedian, keeps
the house in an uproar with his
comedy playlet, "My Daughters
Husband" in which Annabelle Neil
son and A. E. McComas assist.
Brodean and Silverman, a man and
a dog, have a neat little opening
act. Meta Johnson. "scintillating
coincidence" sings her way into the
good graces of Opportunities. Lloyd
and Wells are cheerful songsters
and nimble dancers. Something
quite out of the ordinary is offered
by Jules lie Rue and Jean Dupre
who fashion beautiful scenes in
quick time by the use of colored
sands.

cisms thrown on the screen, and

GERMANY NEEDS RAW MATERIALS
 FOR INDUSTRY

LEIPSIC,- -(By MaiD Robert s. Schmidt, Germany's food and eco homie minister in a speech at the Leipsic Fair said Germany was "sick with two diseases. lack if raw ma terials and fuel"
 During my visit to the Fair build ings," he said, 'I heard constant com plaints about the lack of coal We have the workers and we have the orders in plenty, we can easily get millions, even billions of orders. But when 1 asked each individual cXhi- bitOr why he did not accept orders he replied invariably that he lacked raw material and fuel. IL is true that every effort is being made to force Germany back into an inferior place, not in the usual way of competition but thru political methods. German trade however, will build it's way in the hunger for goods where it can be advantageOuSly satisfied.
 "People are accusing us of again having recourse to the dumping SyS- tenn We do not merit this accusa- ton, and l must deny it most energet- ically I have the hope that in spite of all hinderanceS we will soon climb up to prosperity if work and cOnstruc- tive power, raw materials and coal are placed at our disposal in sufficient quantities.
 We need the world market. The pressure will be removed from Ger many, and we will get credit abroad. We must be convinced that we are again to climb. This people is not to be destroyed economically. If ali energies revive I hope that we are not at the end of our rope, but that the German people will overcome these sad days and that the joyful times will come again. I am build ing on the never failing creative pow CT of our industry, our technique, art and science"
