He set forth that the price of bread was regulated by the price of wheat and that 10-cent hrutf meant more for the money than 3-cent loaves at 5 cents, due to economy in produc- | tion and distribution. % “In New Jersey we recently held the state convention, and they prom- ise 700 republican clubs there before October 1.

KAISER REVIEWS TROOES AT FRONT Comes Unheralded to Somme Line, Where He Looks Over thé Men. LOUD “HOCHS" ARE GIVEN With the German army in France— {Via Berlin, Aug. 12, to London.)— East of the Somme, with the French [guns roaring a morning salute and the German cannon thundering their reply, the German emperor today un- expectedly appeared in a little village 1 just behind the front and reviewed {a hastily improvised parade and de- corated @ number, of officers and sol- diers, He addressed the men briefly and was then whisked on to the most advanced position. | The cmperor's visit was known only to a few officers the previous eveuing and came as a surprise to the troops, who were ohvioull{ over- joyed that the emperor could find time to come to them. The visit in addition surprised a small group of correspondents who had just returned from an inspection of the advanced ositions, and who had an opportun- ity to see the emperor at Novogeor- gievsk, a few miles northwest of War- saw, almost precisely a year ago, Dramatic Features. Notwithstanding the heavy far, that generdlly prevails in the early morning in this section, the emperor’s visit had something . brilliant /and dramatic in it. Upon a broad level of plain flanked bi; a picturesque French chateu, all- the troops in the immediate neighborhood collected. The uniforms were of field gray, but the attireo ™officers and men was, nevertheless, so far as possible gala, and the more striking as a majority of the soldiers wore their new steel helmets. The officers had discarded their monotonous fatigue caps and had donned peace time headgear, so pieces of the death head hussars col trasted with the helmets of cuiras- siers, and the mortar-board caps worn by the uhlans. Kaiser Arrives Early. this The emperor arrived at 9:30 o'clock, his suite, including Prince Eitel, one noted admiral and several generals. The troops had been drawn ‘l‘-{’ in a hollow square formation, and is Majesty looking trim and fit, though perhaps somewhat weary, quickly passed in review shaking hands here and there with officets he knew personally and repeatedly saluting the soldiers who stodd at “present arms” as stiffly and correctly as in any parade in Berlin, The officer in command of the regi- ments inspected by the emperor then delivered a brief address in which he assured his majesty in the name of the troops that all were ;zreplred to fight on indefinitely for th: and the country’s sake. that must have beefi heard in the French lines went up before the em- peror could answer. Then he spoke in clear ringing voice, thanking the men, His Majesty Smiles. In the center of the hollow square the emperor decorated a number of the officers and eventually took up a position on the road leading to the front trenches, while the regiments, many of whom were composed of new troops, marched by in the famous goose step, The correspondents stood only a few ayrds distant and was able to note the seemingly re- markable physical condition o{ the emperor, who in reviewing the troops, stood moreerect and stiffer than the youngest subaltern, and, with a glance of npprohl or a slight frown, indicated his pleasure or displeasure. In fariness to the troops it should be said that his majesty smiled most of the time. The emperor required upward of an hour to review the troops and take a trifle of refreshments, and was then whirled away toward the front lines as suddenly as he had come. Loyal Club Holds Its ' Quting at Bennington As usual the annual picnic of the Loyal club yestcrdax at Bennington was a big success. large crowd of Omahans went by train and automo- biles to the pretty little town on the west.

Kennedy and Georgé S. Mag- ney were the main speakers of the day. Later in the evening the young people held a dance on the spacious floor. A program of athletic events inter- ested many.
