KAISER WILLIAN GIVES REASONFOR STAYING AT REAR Emperor of Germany Asserts He Would Be at Front, But That Almighty Has Willed Otherwise. A LEAVE MARK ON ENEMY Wounded Soldiers He Would Like to Get Into Trenches. ) \ ' TALK ATTRACTS ATTENTION A =London, July 24.—Emperor Wil- liam during his recent trip to a point omewhere in the rear of Peronne, on the Somme front, says a dispatch to the Wireless press from Berne, made a speech to the German wounded sol- diers which is attracting great atten- tion in Germany. The emperor is ‘quoted as saying: “It is the most poignant grief of my life that I am unable to take a more active part m this war. It is my earnest desire to take my place in the trenches and to deal such blows at our enemies as my age and strength would permit. “I could take my place with the youngest of you and | promise that I would leave my mark on the enemy. But ‘the imscrutable Almighty has willed otherwise, 'Into my care has been committed by divine destiny the leadership of our country, its armies and its forces on land and sea. “The burden of thinking, deciding and leading has been hard upon me and, realizing this, I know that my life must not be risked in the foremost line of battle where my feelings, if unrestricted, -ould carry me swiftly. ) “My life must be conserved care- Iy ly for the welfare of Germany in Order to carry out the duties assigned to me by divine appointment.” Deutschland Is Ahout Ready to Sail Under Sea t Baltimore, July 24.—A series of % ¢vents this afternoon at the pier where the merchant submarine Deutschland is berthed, indicated that its departure would not be long de- layed. The most significant of these were the filling of its water tanks - and the stowing below its deck of thecrews bedding as it was removed from the interned North German Lloyd steamer Nickar nearby. Since its arrival two weeks ago the Deutsch- land crew has been sleeping aboard the Nickar, Shortly after the water tanks had been filled, heavy blue smoke was noticed coming from behind the barges that screened the Deutsch- land from view, and directly at its stern. The wind blowing from the the odor of fuel oil, and it was evi- dent the vessels engines were being tested. The activities were preceded by th saling of th submarine’s wire- less apparatus by a government radio inspector. This was in accordance Mwith a federal law calling for some ch action at the expiration of two eeks. No application for ilcarancc papers had been made up to the close of P business at the custom house today, it was announced arrangements may be made, however, for this to be done out of hours.

THE OMAHA DAILY OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1916—TEN PAGES Nebraskans Meet Today to Prepare for State Campaign THRONG 10 ATTEND REPUBLICAN MEET All Ariving at Lincoln Speak Enthusiastically of Ohances of Hughes and State Ticket. HALL COUNTY AMBITIOUS Lincoln, July 24.—(Special.)— There is every indication that the e- publican convention tomorrow will be inauguration of the primary. Delegates'began arriving in the city at noon today and all speak enthu- siastically of the chances for the election of Hughes and the success of the state ticket in this state. Mack J. Agee, chairman of the Hall county republican committee, with Representative Scudder and two or three other delegates ar ived in the city early. Mr. Agee says that Hall county will have a full delegation at the convention with some extra ones for good measure who will come down just to let the people know that Hall county will make a bid for the repub- lican convention’ two years from now when the proper itme comes. “We have a big hall which will seat 1,500 delegates on the floor and 1,000 more on the stage,” said he, “and we are going to have a new hotel; so we will be in fine shape.” Strong fo Hughes. The Hall county men feel that it would be a fine thing to send the convention out in the tsate once in a while and give republicans out in the west end a chance to attend. They say that Hall county will give Hughes a big vo teand the state ticket a good boost. b . Another delegate who is enthusias- tic over the prospects for republican success is Harvey Webster of Burt county. “We are going to carry Burt county for the republican ticket by 1,200 ma- jority,” said Mr. Webster. “I never saw such a feeling of unionism in Burt county in my life,” said he, “Everybody who was ever a republi- can is back in_the party and whoop- ing it up for Hughes and Fairbanks and the whole republican ticket.” Another member of the state com- mittce who says that republican suc- cess in Nebraska is sure, is Charles McLeod of Stanton. “Our country is democratic,” said he, “but Hughes will carry it by a fair majority. Predict é 0. P. Victory. Senator W. H. Reynolds of Chad- ron, republican candidate for state treasurer, is here as is also Sehator are feeling good ovgr the prospects and predict a big refiflblican majority. Chairman C. C. McNish was on the ground eafly and takes a optimistic view of the future. Mr. McNish is not saying very much about the chair- manship, but it is known that he would take it and he appears to have a great many friends who believe he should be re-elected. Ed Beach of Lincoln, W. G. Ure of Omaha, S. R. McKelvie of Lincoln and Clyde Barn- ard of Table Rock, are among those who are mentioned.for the place. The arly evening train brought in large numbers of republicans, among them Judge Sutton, W. P. Warner, E. R. Gurney, who has been selected chairman of the convention; E. T. Westerfield of Scott's Bluff, who I never thinks it's too far to go to an | state convention; E. M. Pollard, Harry Byrne, Dan Swanson and others, It has been decided to call the convention about 1:45, in order that delegates on the noon train will be able to get a bite to eat and get to the opening. The convention will then run through without a recess. Bay State Troops . Accused of Raid | On Mexican Homes| El Paso, Tex., July 24.—General Francisco Gonzales, commandant zt Juarez, formally protested today to General George Bell, jr., command- ing the American forces here, against the co.duct of the outpost guards of the Ninth Massachusctts infantry who, he said, crossed into Mexican territory yesterday mornin, “in vio- lation of Mexican rights,” and last night night shot up “without provo- cation” a number of homes of Mex- icans south of the border. Irish Question is At Acute Stage London, July 24.—An acute stage tion. Unless the situation suddenly changes doubt is expressed whether the government will be able to intro- 7|duce an amending bill this week as had been promised. 5 The nationalist members of Par- liament are holding another meeting today and unless a satisfactory an- swer is received from Premier As- quith, John Redmond, leader of the Irish nationalists, will be asked to press him for a further statement re- 0 | garding the intentions of the govern- ment. The nationalists insist that the bill shall conform to the terms agreed upon in the settlement, and they say they will have nothing to do with the proposals to make the exclu- sion, of the province of Ulster perma- nent or to reduce the Irish represen- tation in the imperial Parliament pending the final settlement. In addition to the Irish subject, the government will have many questions to engage its attention during the week. Critics of the cabinet will at- tempt to prolong the debate on the bill for the appointment of commit- tees to investigate the campaigus in the Dardenclles and Mesopotamia, while the introduction by Premier Asquith today of a new vote of credit 0 [ will open a general debate on the con- ‘duct of the war. one of the best attended since the| H, P.

BRYig Hastings, Neb., July 24.—(Special Telegram.)—It must be a harmonious meeting of democrats, according to the party leaders who were among the early arrivals here today ofr the state convention tomorrow. Even the contest for the chairmanship of the state cent al committee is being de- veloped into an amicable pre-conven- tion agreement today. Either A. D. Sprague of York or Louis Langhorst of Elmwood will probably step down from the chair- manssip to either secr:u‘ry or mem- bership on the central® committee. Mr. Sprague of Yo'k is said to have refused to continue as secretary in case he is defeated for the chairman- ship. Any effort to open the fight be- tween the Hitchcock and Bryan fac- tions, the leaders say, is pretty apt to be squelched. Big Guns Coming. Senator Hitchcock will arrive to- night. Governor Morehead and party have sent wo d that they will arrive on an early train tomorrow morning. Keith Neville, candidate for governor, was among the early arrivals in the city this morning. Mayor Ww. Bryan of Lincoln is expected tomor- row. W. J. Bryan will be unable to attend, since his time is taken up lecturing on the chautauqua plat- form. With the appointment of the com- mittee on resolutions adjournment will probably be taken to 7 o'clock tomorrow night. The convention tomorrow will be called to order by State Chairman W. H. Thompson of Grand Island promptly at noon. Following the reading of the call M. L. Corri of Clay Center by pre- vious arrangement will be given the honor of the tempprary chairman- ship. He will immediately launch into the “keynote speech.’ Edgar Howard of Columbus ar- rived early today with three resolu- tions that he expects to present to the conventiop committee. If considera- tion is not secured at the committee meeting, Mr. Howard plans to take his resolutions to the floor of the con- vention. The resolutions propose state planks declaring for a public warchouse for farmers and state de- velopment of water power. The| hquor question will be referred to the people in another Howard resolution. May Go to Floor. One opportunity for a convention tilt will come when contesting dele- gations from Douglas county are con- sidered by the credentials commit- tee. The contest may be carried to the floor. The Jacksonian club of Omaha held an independent mass meeting to elect delegates, while the so-called “Dahlman machine” sent an opposing delegation. Arrivals from Omaha claim that peace has been declared and that all who come from that county will be able to find a place in the delegation, the full number not having been made up by those sent from the metropolis by both of the opposing organiza- tions. Bliss Says Reports | Are Wholly False Washington, July 24.—The full re- port of Major General Tasker H.| | Bliss, assistant chief of staff, on his inspection of National Guardsmen in | the Brownsville district, made public | today at the War department, says that inspection of all camps and more than 30,000 men, reports of inefficien- | cy and bad rations were found to be wholly false, | The one fault General Bliss found —and that he says is already reme- died—was that during the first few days of the mobilization the food lack- ed variety. Many of the guardsmen, General Bliss reported, said their ra- tions were better than the food they were accustomed to having at home. Torpedo Destroyers Fight Off Belgium | London, July 24.—Six German tor- | |pedo boat destroyers were engaged lin a running fight by British light | forces off Schouwen bank yesterday, | | says an official statement issued by | the British admiralty this afternoon. | The Gérman vessels were repeatedly hit, but they succeeded in reaching the Belgian coast.

UNY INCREASES MADE Anti-Preparedness Arguments’ by Norris of Nebraska Arouse Senators. TOWNSEND FLAYS WILSON Washington, July 24.—The senate today called a halt on wholesale re- ductions begun Saturday in the army | appropriation bill, voting down re- trenchment proposals and approving increases totaling more than $30,000,- 000 when sections were reached car- rying provisions for ordnance and | equipment for the regular army andi national guard. | Debate on the ordnance sections | developed a predominating sentiment | that it would be unwise to limit ex- | penditures for ammunition and guns too closely, despite the lessening of | tension in the Mexican situation. Decreases of $36,000,000 ordered | Saturday related to transportation, subsistence, foreign service pay and emergency estimates put into the bill by the house when the Mexican situa- tion was critical. Today’s increases | included. Here Are Increases. For medical supplies, increase from $2,000,000 to $4,500,000; engineers, equipment, $1,000,000 to $1,770,00; ordnance stores, $6,000,000 to $11,000,- 000; automatic machine guns for regu- | lar army $3,600,000 to $7,725,000; au- tomatic machine guns for national guard, $2,000,000 to $6,586,150; ar- mored motor cars, $300,000 to $1,000, | 000; field artillery for national guard, | $8,000,000,000 to $14,200,000; ammuni- tion for natiogal guard field artillery, $8,000,000 to 54,000,000. In the item for small arms ammuni- tion, the senate approved a reduction from $5,000,000 to $2,500,000, but sev- eral senators said they would insist on another vote on the section before final pasage of the bill. The measure may be passed tomorrow, although several important items remain for consideration, including the $13,281,- 666 proposed for aviation, an increase of $10,000,000 over the house appro- priation, During the debate today Chairman Chamberlain of the military commit- tee aroused by anti-preparedness ar- guments by Senator Norris, vehem- ently arraigned” senators” who, he asserted constantly intimated that ad- vocates of preparedness were in a conspiracy with munitions makers and others who profit by war. He defehd- ed the patriotism and honesty of the champions of preparedness in con- gress. Senator Townsend assailed on the admiistration of Mexican policy, asserting that the national guard had been called to the border under “false pretenses” and that diplomatic cor- respondence had disclosed that there never was any intention of sending state troops into Mexico. Britisfi}abinet Is Unable to Agree on New Home Rule Bill London, July 24.—Confirming pub- licly the suspicion that the cabinet had been unable to reach a decision in re- gard to the home rule amending bill, Premier Asquith in the Hofise of Commons today announced that the government would not introduce an bill of this kind with regard to x.hicf; there was no substantial agreement among all parties. This was taken in | the lobbies of parliament to mean that home rule had been dropped for the moment and that David Lloyd George's negotiation had come to naught. The stumbling block appears to have been the retention in the imper- ial parliament of nationalist repre- sentatives in undiminished numbers. John Redmond, leader of the nation- alists, moved an adjournment of the house to discuss the premier's reply and a lively debate when the regular business of the house was concluded was anticipated. Double Murder And Suicide in Park at Chicago Chicago, July 24.—The bodies of a man, woman and child found yester- day beside a bridle path in Lake For- est were identified today as Lloyd by A, W. Crandall of Chicago, an uncle of the dead man. The uncle said he knew of no reason why Crandall should kill himself and family. Crandall was a timekeeper in the Buick automobile factopy at Flint, Mich. Prudential Agents Are Out on Strike New York, July 24.—Two thou- sand collecting agents of the Pru- dential Life Insurance company went on strike today. The walkout fol- lowed a mass meeting at which it was said the strike would tie up the company’s collecting business as far west as Chicago unless the men's terms were met, Chief among the grievances named was the refusal of the company to confer with the men. Recognition of the International Insurance Agents’ union, which is only two weeks old, better pay and “more reasonable hours” are de- manded by the strikers, i mayor said he would pay the remain- wf Un Tralre, at Hotels, Nowa Siands esc., Bo THE LEMBERG WHEEL—On this map, the heavy line shows the Russian front while the broken line shows the railroads.

STANISLAD R RBUCZACZS REWARDS REACHING LARGR PROPORTIONS Thirteen Thousand Dollars for Arrest and Conviction of Bomb Thowers. MAY BE CLUE IN LETTERS San Francisco, July 24.—Rewards reached $13,000 today for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of the bomb explosion which killed six persons and injured forty-two in San Francisco's preparedness parade Sat- drday, Of those amounts about $1,000 was offéfed by Goverfior Hirami® W Johnson in the name of the state and $5,000 by the law and order commis- sioner of the San Francisco chamber of commerce. Governor Johnson said $1,000 was thé maximum he was per- mitted to offer under the California statute. The San Francisco board of super- visors today authorized the use of $1,000 as a reward, this representing one fifth of the $5000 offered by Mayor Jas. Rolph jr. yesterday.

One man was ar- rested Saturday, but the police admit they have no evidence against him. Two letters believed to contain a definite clue to the identity of the assassin were in the possession of the police today. One of the letters was addressed to James Woods, police commissioner and manager of the St. Francis hotel, and declared his death would be ac- complished with poisoned soup be- cause of his activities in connection with the parade. The other letter, written to M. Lee, head waiter at the St. Francis hotel, bc,;x]g:d him to poi- son Commissioner Woods' soup, re- minding him how easy of accomplish- ment his position made such an act. The police, under orders of Chief of Police White, would not give out the texts of the letters nor their signa- tures, but two of the members of a special bureau of detectives appointed today to run down the person or per- sons who exploded the bomb were set at work in a search for the writer of the letters, BRITISH CAPTURE PART OF POZIERES Large 8ection of Village Near Guillemont and Part of High Wood Are Occupied.

Wilson is president of the corporation. ’ e = Carranza Prepares New Laws for Foreigners in Business in Mexico New York, July 24.—Radical, changes in the laws governing for- eigners (oing business in Mexico are about to be made by General Car- ranza in a series of decrees which later will be included in a new con- stitution, according to recent arrivals from Mexico City. The new legislation, it is said, will rovide that all foreign investors be- ore entering business in Mexico must agree not to have recourse in any case to any other law than that of Mexico, and that they will not be en- titled ot any privileges not enjoyed by ‘Mexicans. It will also provide that foreign capital already invested | in Mexico may enjoy the right to be considered foreign and be entitled to the protection of its own government, umir the cxpiration of the concession or agreement that it may have en- tered into, provided it is not for a very long period. Another provision is designated to x a uniform period for all the long or unlimited contracts, leases or con- cessions in which foreign capital is interested and that at the end of this period they will be considered subject only to the authority of the Mexican government, deprived of the right of appeal for protection to their respec- tive governments. These measures, it is understood, are to be incorporated in the Mexican constitution, when the constitutional assembly meets in Queretaro in the near future, and it is the belief of First Chief Carranza and his advisers that they will suffice to avoid the danger of complications with European pow- ers and as a natural sequel will lift from the United States the respon- sibility of defending the territorial in- THE WEATHER _Fair; Cooler SINGLE COPY TWO CENTS.
