ft* INVADESTHt WEST ENT HAILED BY PEOPLE ON HIS WAY JO OMAHA CROWDS SURROyNDTRAIN Wilson Delivers Speeches la Omaha But Refuses to Talk Politics to Huge Crowds Which Greet Him on the Journey—Laughs and Talks to Jolly Crowds. President Wilson discussed the. European war, peace and American • business in three speeches at Omaha, Neb., Thursday. He declared Amer ica is as ready to fight as any nation In the world, but that its cause must be just. After the war, he said, this nation must join a league of nations to preserve the peace of the world. The president declared for the “unshackling” of American business in order that it may meet the com petition of the world after the Euro pean war and cited legislation of his administration as going far in this direction. It was the president’s first trip into the Middle West since the cam paign began, and he received what his political lieutenants characteriz ed as the greatest reception of his career. He was cheered by thous ands during the day. The size of the crowds and the enthusiasm shown far exceeded anything he has experi enced since his inauguration. J Attracted to Omaha for the cele bration of Nebraska’s fiftieth anni- rjrsary, thousands of people from learby cities and states packed Omaha's streets. It was an Impres sive gathering which greatly pleased the president and his political ad- • vlsers. Omaha was in gala attire. The celebration, non-partisan in charac- —ter and arranged by a committee made up largely of RepbbTIcans, was given a political touch by the pres ence of the president. All the build ings were draped with American flags, windows were packed with persoas during the parade and bands constantly played popular and mar tial music. Although l*re«ldent Wlleon ■teadll) adhered to hla derision to make no rear-plat form speechm, hla journey through Ohio and In diana on his wny to Omahn a as a sureraoton of nppenmnrea before large and rath u>i*a tic crowds. The |iro|ile knew they could not expert n speech, hut everywhere they sw armed to the atatioua for a sight of the president. At some of the stops Mr. Wilson briefly espressed his gratification at the reception. Usually, however, he was kept l-usy shaking the hands extended to him as he stood on the observation platform of his car. and the train would pull out before he could say a word. • The thing that seemed to move * the president more than anything else nna the large n am her of eld erly people, man) of them declar ing thentselvea Republicans, who crowded up to shake hands, with n ‘*<«ud bless you” that sounded aa If It came from the henrt. The train made fourteen stops In Ohio, most of them at towns of not more than fifteen thousand inhabi tant* A conservative estimate placed the number of persons who greeted the president at thirty thouaand In Ohio alone. Indiana waa A3 genetnus. F#H_W ayne,_ ind., probably had the record crow37 wins' close to ten thousand, but Alliance, Ohio, and Valparaiso. Ind., with a large delegation of college boys, ap proached the record. At some places the enthusiasm was so pronounced that in-spite of the president's refusal to make an address the train assumed the ap pearance of a genuine campaign spe cial". At many places local politi cians boarded the train and rode to the next station just to give assur ance to Mr. Wilson that Mr. Hughes’ western drive had by no means dimmed . Democratic » confidence of carrying both Ohio and Indiang. Throughout the trip one fact stood out prominently, and it caused much satisfaction among the president’s advisers: All along the route the enthusiasm of the railroad employees was manifest. They stood beside the tracks' between stations and waved their hats as the train passed, and at brief stops they were always among the first to rush up and seize the president’s hand extended to them over the platform rail. The president vls obviously de lighted with the reception. He smil ed broadly, and each time as the train pulled out, leaving^a cheering contingent of Wilson’s supporters behind, he would remain on the plat-' form waving his hand. The politicians along the roadfc did not try to conceal their pleasore at the way the people turned out. At the.instance of the’Democratic State Conference, the Ohio County Com- Tfnittees had sedulously advertised the president s coming, but they had been pessimistic about the result, because every one knew there would be no speeches. At Alliance, a rail road town, several railroad opera tives delighted the Democratic lead ers bf-'aesuring them that when Mr. Hughes was there he did not get a fifth of the crowd. E^. Z. Hoffman, Democratic Na tional Committeeman for Indiana, who boarded the train at Lima, Ohio, for a conference with the pred ident, predicted with' every show of ■ confidenre_ that!'Indian* woujd ‘ go -PeweeraUc.— among Indiana 'Republicans, andTie is assured of thirty-five per cpnt of the Progressive vote.’' The eight-hour law las prominently, and shouts of approval' " of his settlement of the strike greet-' ed the president -everywhere. .At “Man-Power Distributing Board’’ Ex- Orvllle, Ohio, a railroad town, a m her km 1$ "GREAT BRITAIN’S CRY voice from the crowd cried;' “You were with us in the eight-hour day, and we Are with ydu now.” An out burst of cheerinj; followed. At Lima, Ohio, also, where a big crowd had gathered, with a band and numerous flags, a shout of “Hurrah for the Eight-Hour Law,” brought another great outburst. At Fort ^ Wayne, Ind., a brakeman pushed his Distributing Board recently appoint- pects to Comb England for All Those Eligible. Great Britain is in urgent need of men for her armies and also for mak ing ammunltioU in .her munition fac tories. A statement to this effect has been given out by the/Man Power hand up witlv-the remark: “Right there, Mr. President. She’s dirty, but she's going to hit the rooster hard.” It is predicted by Ohio and In diana politicians that the eight-hour question will prove to be tbie biggest factor in deciding the outcome of the mpaign in those states, and the Democrats are claiming victory on that basis Of the hyphenate question- there was little si&m In much of the sec tion of Ohio through which the pres ident passed the German vote is a powerful factor, but^np conclusions as to the way it would go could be dfawn from the conduct^ of the crowds. In several places comments could be heard spoken with a mark ed German accent, blended with the general remarks approving the pres ident. " The president’s enjoyment of the people's enthusiasm was plainly in dicated in the remarks he made. At Lima, in response to calls for a speech, he said, “My friends, I am not making c. speech-making cam paign, but I can say that It touches me and gratifies me very much to get the greetings I have received all along the line. Ohio has certainly shown her hospitality.’' Some one in the crowd shouted: "We didn’t want a speech; want ed to see our president.” The crowd laughed as the preel- dent answered: 'T don't think much of my speech-making, but J rather think it is better than I am to look at.” The crowd then asked to see Mrs. Wilson, and the president said: “ITI admit she Is better worth looking at than I am ” Mrs. Wilson then joined him on the platform and was heartily cheer ed. At Fort W*rne. Did., where ten thousand people had gathered. Mr. Wilson said: “I haven't anything ed to comb out men eligible for mill tary service in the United Kingdom who fiave not yet been enrolled" in the army. The board reported it had exam ined officials of the admiralty, war office, ministry of munitions and other departments and that there was urgent need of fresh supplies of men for the armies and munition factories in order “to maintain our forces in the field at the numbers already fixed for them and at the same time to maintain the supply of munitions essential for their equip ment and proper utilization.” The board therefore directed that no exemption be granted certain clacse heretofore exempt and that there must be no more general dilu tion of skilled labor in munitions factories with won' n and other workers heretofore untrained. It suggested conferences of employers and employed with a view to forcing skilled labor now engaged in private work for employment in munitions plants. “It is essential,” the report says, “that a large part of the labor now engaged in private work shall be di verted to governmental orders, or re leased for the army.” The board also has under consid eration the extended use of women and of men over the military age and also the release of men of military age now employer In the government offices. This is the only means, the board says; whereby extension of the age for compulsory service can be avoided.

Bucharest says that violent fight ing continues all along the line south of the railroad running from Constanza to the Danube, with the Teutonic allies offering stubborn re sistance to the Roumanian and Rus- sion forces. Nothing is vouchsafed, however, concerning the troops which invaded B Igaria. „ , Sofia says that only “several bat talions” of Roumanians made their way across the river, and Berlin re ports the destruction behind them, by German monitors, of the pontoon bridges over which they passed.

In this connection, he said, he had a serious word of warning to give. We are not Justified In expecting Representative Cites Silence of Re publican Convention to Measure's Critics—Gives Credit for Law to Wilson While He Was Yet the Governor of the State of New Jer sey. Representative Carter Glass, the Democratic chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, has prepared a reply to the attacks by Republican speakers on the Fed eral Reserve Act passed under the present administration. In it he says that the question of politics did not enter into the preparation of the measure, and that all attention was turned to the economic problems In volved. . “There has been no responsible party assault on the Federal Reserve Act,” Representative Glass says. “The Republican National Conven tion at Chicago.in July said nbt one word in condemnation of it, nor inti mated the slightest criticism of any provision of it. This omission, in the circumstances, by a body that assail ed every other legislative perform ance of the opposing party was tan tamount to a substantial approval of the aqt. But recently Republican politicians have ventured to carp and cavil. Their comment has been fugi tive. and not in any sense precise. It has been turgid and in no degree discreet. In the measure that these critics have manifested petty parti san zeal, to that extent they have exhibited an Ignorance of the legisla tion as amusing as It la dense. “Generally these individual attacka on the Federal Reserve system have taken on the guise of the faint praise which amount* to damnation. When thla haa not been to the commenta tors have conceded the soundness and incalculable usefulness of the sys tem. only to appropriate for the Re publican party the credit of having ‘blazed the way and furnlahgd the pattern’ In the report of the Aldrich Monetary Commiaalon "There was no action by the Re publican party, and the wretched pretense, exigently put forward now, that the Aldrich Monetary Com ml aion and the Republican party ‘blaz ed the way for banking and currency reform' la a pore Invention. The way to’banking and currency reform under a Democratic administration waa ‘biased’ by fin r.clal conflagra tlon under Republican administra tion. the lurid flame of which haa licked up the substance of American business men and the fierce ravagea of which had devoured the profits of American Industry until the loesee entailed and the mleery which en-< sued had exceeded human approxi mation Aa Tor the Aldrich bill, Mr. Glass says that there was not one funda mental idea of It that waa original with the framers of the bill, and that there are not many of the es sential ideas of the Federal Reserve Act that had not been in some guise considered and discussed long before either the Aldrich bill or the Fed ersl Reserve Act was conceived. “The bill' was not directed with any reference whatsoever to the Al drich scheme." Mr. Glass says, “but was written by practical men upon expert advice after patient.bearings and pains-taking investigation by a sub-committee of the Banking and Currency Committee oFThe House, of which I was chairman. Its main fea tures were presented by me to M Wilson in December, 1912; while he was yet governor of New Jersey, and were by him approved, with certain material modifications.” Mr. fllass points out that not only the Democratic and Republican par ties rejected the Aldrich bill, but that the Progressive party In 1912, when it nominated Col. Roosevelt, formal ly characterised the bill as a scheme “to place the currency and credit system of the United States in pri vate hands, not subject to effective public control." He characterizes as untrue state ments that the Federal Reserve sys tem has cost the government larfe sums of money, that "but two of the banks have ever paid a dividend,’ and similar statements. The Repub lican Senator who charged that the system' was an expensive failure was the same one who had said seventy- five per cent, of it was the work of the Republican party, Mr. Glass says, and adds that the fystem does not cost the government a c^nt, as the expenses are assessed against the member banks, and. that five of the twelve regional banks have declared dividends, while the official report for June, 191fi, shows that all twelve of the regional banks for the preced ing six months,had an excess of earn ings over expenses amount to ♦804,- 510.- Only one had a deficit,- and that was slight, while for June all showed considerable excess of earn ings over expenses. But the primary object was not to earn dividends, but to constitute a great reserve force and to keep in poise the banking . nd currency in-, terests of the ndtidh, Mr. Glass points out, and he quotes the only Reserve Board, Paul M. Warburg, as saying that “earning capacity must ■~i n i— am ■ ■ I REST ON II Story U That U-Boat Merchantman Has Been Caught in Big Net and la In Scotland. The German comtperclal subma rine Bremen, a sister in design and size to the Deutschland, has been captured by the British naval forces and taken to the naval harbor at Rosytb, on the east cosat of Scot land, according to Information of a very creditable character received In Washington. The character and source of this report cannot be dis closed but It can be said they are such as to cause those who haVe re ceived the Information to regard It <as more than fairly authentic. According to this Information the Bremen is now at the great new British naval base at Rosyth, situat ed near Inverkeithing, on the Firth of Forth, near tho famous Firth *f Forth railroad bridge. When the Bremen was captured is not known, but the information reaching Wash ington state.! without qualification that the vessel has been captured and taken to Rosyth and that she was seen there three 'weeks ago. The intimation is that the subma rine was caught in one of the huge nets spread around the British coast as part of the elaborate plan adopt ed by the British admiralty for the capture" of German submarines. These nets are one hundred yards long, and about one hundred and eighty feet deep, made of heivy wire and cables, and are planted In va rious parts of the North Sea, as well as around the British coast. The nets are anchored ai. I are suspended from supports placed near the sur face of the water. There are two bombs attached to each net. These explode and disable the submarine that strikes the net with sufficient momentum to make the two ends of the net swing around so as to en velop the undersea boat. There have been many rumors of the Bremen's capture before, but the British admiralty has never con firmed them. These earlier reports have always reached Washington through newspaper channels. Not until recently was there any c nflr- matlon of the report obtainable through Independent sources of a creditable character in Washington and which may be , described as semi-official. It is impossible to of ficially confirm the Information at this time, but it has come to Wash ington in a way that appears to con vince persons -who have refused to credit earlier rumors. BRYAN PRAISES ACHIEVEMENTS W DEMOCRATIC RECORD IS WITHOUT A PARALLEL ROUT R0UMANUNS Bold Invasion Across Danube Meets — • With Dtsastes. The bold invasion of Bulgaria by Roumanian troops who crossed the Danube nfcar Rahovo In the rear of the main Una in Dobrudja has ended moat disastrously for the invaders, according to Sofia, their force being scattered and virtually wiped out. To combat the Roumanlano who apparently were from twelve to six teen thousand strong, but declared to be without artillery, the Bulga rians sent troopa from Rustchuk and Thrtuktai on either side of the point of crossing. Caught between the two forces, the Roumanians are said to have made for the pontoon bridge which they found destroyed by Au»- trian monitors. Although there Is some divergence in the official reports from Sofia and Bucharest concerning the fate of the force of Roumanians which waa thrown across the Danube into Bul garia. the fact is patent, according to Bucarest communication, that they have ceased their ”demon , --tra' tion.” Bucharest adds that the Rouman ians withdrew to the left bank of the Danube, but Sofia asserts that the battlefield In Northern Bulgaria between Rustirhuk and Turtukai, where they crossed the river, is cov ered with Roumanian dead aa a re sult of their forced speedy retire ment back to their own soil. TWO LYNCHED AT C01RT HOUSE Negroes Hanged by Mob After Min ister Hailed First Attempt. Two i^egroes, accused of being im plicated in the- killing of Deputy Sheriff James Gibson during a recent jail delivery at Nowata, Okla., were taken from the prison by a mob the same night and lynch 1 in front of the court house. Three negro prisoners escaped from the jail,'but two were soon cap tured. One of the rearrested men, John Foreman, was wounded during the pursuit and was not then molest ed by the mob, but the unwounded negro was seized and paraded, screaming for mercy, through the streets. When the mob reached the Methodist church somebody spied a tree with outspreading branches-and yelled, “Let’s hang him on holy ground.” The pjrisoner waa swung clear of the ground and was being strangled to death when the minis ter came out and persuaded the crowd to cut him down. . When darkness came the recap tured negroes were taken from the prison by a larger mob of citizens. Foreman wa^ strung up to a lamp post near the court house and “Sun ny” Powell was hung from a tree a few feet distant. — Republican mepiber of the Federafold system, New York could not, in time of ,s,tress, let a country baqk have $50,000’of eurfency to meet never be considered the test of tha7 tte .ordinary rf'iuin-ments of com- efficlency of Federal Reserve banks. “The Federal Reserve system is performing a vastly greater service than merely earning dividends,” Mr To win IH1 WU, he «ld, uillMi the Tmif" Vl?i.'

Bryan in a signed article in the September number of “The Com moner.” After reviewing the prin cipal achievements .of the Democrat ic party under Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Bryan asks: “When, before, did any party, In so short a time, present and complete so remarkable a program for the ad- > vancement of a nation’s welfare? la it possible that a party which haa thus justified public confidence can be rebuked by the people to whoae interests it has dedicated itself?” Mr. Bryan points to the settle- ' ment of the railway strike through the passage of the eight-hour law as among the most Important triumphs of the president. Describing the larger reforms, Mr. Bryan says: “First. The tariff law now upon the statute books is the best enact ed within a half century, fit is writ ten upon the theory that a tariff law should be so framed as to raise reve nue and nfit upon he theory now g'v- Ing protection for protection's sake. It has lessened the power of the tariff baron to exact tribute from the public.' “Second. The Income tax provi sion, while a part of the general rev enue law, deserves t®. be considered upon it* own merits. It was made possible by the adoption of the in- • come tax amendment to the federal constitution, secured after a fight of more than fifteen years, made under Democratic leadership. The income tax in the isw of 191$ transferred nearly one hundred millions from consumption to incomss. thus reliev ing the masses from the Injustieo , that Republican tariff laws bad pat upon them, an Injustice which would ■till continue it the Republicans bad remained In power. “Third. The currency law is tho greatest piece of constructive legis lation ths generation has aegn It brings Wall Street's despotic bold upon the business of ths nation and the political tyranny sxsrclssd by the masters of high finance. “Fourth. Ths rural credits law is a fitting companion of tho eor- rency law. It gives to tho agrleal- tursl world the same sort of roiled that ths currency law brings to tho commercial world. It gives conclu sive proof of tho breadth and eom- prehenslveneos of Democratic plaaa —Justice to all In every walk of life. “Fifth. The anti-trust taw. writ ten upon the theory that a private monopoly Is indefensible and Intol erable. is the first step towards the release of the country from the groat combinations of capital that had aa- . sumed to control productions and fix prices. It not only gives a measure of relief from extortion, but it In cludes a provision which protects tho working men from ‘government by injunction.' • “.Sixth. The act creating a trade commission, exercising over big in dustrial powers simitar to those ex ercised over the railroads by the la- terstate commerce commission, puts \ the federal government in s posi tion, first, to secure information, and second, to use that information for the protection of legitimate busi ness against the encroachments of corporations, attempting a monopo ly. ’ “Seventh. The shipping bill ia another step in advance, and a loaf step. Its purpose Is to protect in ternational- trade along existing trade routes and to lay out new lines of travel for the extension of Ameri can commerce. It took a two-year’s fight to overcome the influence of the shipping trust, but the fight has at last been won, and the gdvefll*^' ment Is now In a position to use a merchant marine of its own to safe guard the interests of the American shipper. “Eighth. The child labor law has come in response to the growing de mand for social betterment. Ths fact that such a law was necessary is a sad commentary upon the heart lessness of man—that he should be come so money-mad as to be willing to increase his profits by the stunt ing of the bodies and the dwarfing of the minds of minors^ The Demo cratic party deserves great credit for adding this law to its extraordinary recotd of great accomplishments. “Ninth. The president’s prompt action has given to the employees engaged in interstate commerce an eight-hour day. Again the president has taken the side of the common man and won. The railroads over state the cost of complying with the eight-hour. law. They delay freight trains at divisions in order to get bigger loads and longer trains. This is an expense to the shippers as well .as <&!! ipjustice to the train men. They. Van, vi hen it becomes neces sary, get the trains in on time, and thus-give the employees time fpr rest and recuperation—time to enjoy home and prepare for the responsi bilities of citifeoshlp.
