HUGHES ASSERTS MEXIGAN POLICY SHANES AMERICA Prestige of This Nation Cut in Half as Result of Wilson's Handling of Situation, Says Nominee. HE . SPEAKS AT RENO Republican Oandidate Scores Demos for Attacks Upon Merit System. HE TALKS OF NEBRASKA Reno, Nev., Aug. 23. — Charles Evans Hughes said in an address de- livered her today, that the prestige of the United States has been cut practically in half, as a result of deal- ings with Mexico. The nominee re- iterated his previous declarations for an adequate protective tariff and again took the’ administration to task for retiring trained men from diplo- matic service “to make room for men without any special qualifications other than party loyalty.” Mr. Hughes said he deplored the fact that the present admniistration “has had to such a large degree disregarded and violated the principles of our merit system.” 8 “We can have pdace without trouble in this country,” said the nomominee, in discussing the Mexi- can _situation, “Only inexcusable blundering could get us into war. We don’t want anything; we have got all we need; we are not aggressive; we are not seeking trouble; we are not trying to cxploit anybody; we simply want to go ahead in our peaceful pursuit of our ideals, and havepros- perity. Rights Must be Respected. “But that ‘does not mean that our rights are to be ignored; that we are to be lacking in the protection of those rights that are known to per- tain to American citizens. Our con- duct” in Mexico in failing to protect the rights of our citizens down there cut down our international prestige, 1 should say practically one-half, Tt is'a very serious thing for a nation CLEVELAND GETS NEXT CONVENTION Oredit Men Elect Officers,\C.

This closed the series of entertainments provided for the visiting delegates and women during the week by the credit men, closing Other and by Ak-Sar-Ben, whose royall" highness entertained them Monday evening. Mill City Man Speaks. Character, capacity and capital, are the general heads considered when contemplating the extending of credit to a new customer, according to J. Solon of Minneapolis, who Wednes« day morning opened the discussion on “What Is a Basis for Granting Retail Credits?” Under character he would honesty and. paying quahty, Under capacity he would class_ability to pay, occupation, thrift. Under capi- tal he would class property, income and investments. 5 He declared that family connections could sometimes be considered to good advantage, though not always. Consider Family Troubles, Family troubles, he held, must al- ways be considered carefully, “There are many cases in which the husband insists the wife shall have no charge accounts,” he said. “This is becom- ing more and more of a problem. We are living in an age in which married life, one might say, is an uncertainty, and it is necessary to consult the hus- band before granting credit to a wife. class to be known as willing to forego those - those firimary obligations ' of maintaining the rights of its citizens which every nation_has.” Mr. Hughes said that in other nations diplomacy is a qreat profes- sion; that men enter the lower grades and are. promoted until the: reach the highest opportunities of diplo- matic. agencies. “We are making a fine start in that way," he continued. Taken From Service. “And it has been lamentable to see under this administration man after mna of that description removed from the service, taken right out after vears of devotion to the service and retired, only to make room for men without any, special qualifications other than party loyalty. That was odne ‘conspicuously in Latin America, despite our profession of a-desire ta cultivate the closest relations with Latin America, the importance of which is very obvious. How is the great United States, the exemplar of republican_institutions, to stand be- fore our sister republics in this hem- isph.re if we play politics with the agencies of diplomatic intercourse, and fail to honor training and ex- perience? That sont of thing won't do. If you put me in office, I pledge you that we shall see to it that we are represented by men who will command themdelves to the countries where they serve, and raise the stan- dard of our diplomacy.” -What of Nebraska Industry? “Qur friends still insist that we shall not foster industry by the tariff. Why, if we proceeded to their theory, what would become of the industries of the state of Nebraska? What would become of the protection nec- essary for the ‘entetprises of (ali- fornia. This whole section of " the country needs the fostefing care of government, not that we should have private persons secure an dnfair ad- vantage at the public expense. .“But we should have fairly applied a principle which makes and diffuses all over the country a condition where wages are higher and stan- dards of living are higher than those in any other part of the world.” The Weather For Nebraska—Fairand warmer, Temperatures at Omaha Yesterday.

WELSH, Ihhorolofllt: In Minnesota, under the law of that state, when a wife contracts debts while she is not living with her hus- band, we are powerless to collect from him.” The speaker declared that as a rule young girls from 18 to 25 are better risks than young mengof correspond- ing age. “They seem to have more responsibility or feel a moral obliga- tion more strongly,” he said. “Often we have a young stenographer, 20 years ‘old, who gets $15 a week and pays her bills with exceptional promptness. Then she gets married to a young fellow of her own age who hasn’t much in the world and never hopes to have, and after that we are compelled to refuse her fur- ther credit on account of his repu- tatign. Uniform Application Blanks. An effort will be madt to universal- ize the form of application blanks in all the stores over the country. This was brought out in the discussion on “How to Follow up Accounts and Get the Money,” by Sig Wolfert and Alfred Allnia of St. Louis. The uni- form form and color of application blanks, it was pointed out, has the effect of showing the prospecfive customer instantly that there is a co-operation between all credit men and he will be less apt to conceal important information in making bis application, for he- will know that through the co-operation of the credit men’ there is a way to get the facts. Whether is+is good policy to charge ingerest on past due accounts was discussed at some length, with B.G. Veigt of Los Angeles and Charles No- lan of Duluth as leaders of the dis- cussion. It was the consensus of opinion that to charge iriterest is not selling small goods or small quan- tities, but that dealers in such com- modities as lumber, coal, etc., are bet- ter able to do this with good grace. Moral Responsibility. How to open an account depends upon the moral responsibility of the prospective customer, according to the discussion led by G. A. Lawo of Memphis and W. T. Snider of St. Louis. It was pointed out that it is an injury rather than a benefit to a man to extend him too much credit on very limited means. Delegate Lane of Minneapolis be- came popular when he told of the re- lation their local credit bureau in Min- neapolis has with. the banks. He said nine banks of Minneapolis are mem- bers of the association and that they all declare they get much benefit from it. A Los Angeles delegate declared that twelve banks in Los Angeles are members of the lecal there, and that somtimes when a man comes to address the meeting he cannot tell whether he is in a merchants’ meet- ing or a bankers’ convention. ‘The Omaha association has been thying | hard to get all the bankers interested here. Conductor Holds Train to Get Milk for Sick Infant Cotter, Ark., Aug. 23.—]. F. O'Bon- nell, a conductor on the White River division of the Iron Mountain rail- road, was somewhat worried when he learned that a report had been made to division headquarters of his recent action in holding a passenger train here for twenty minutes so that milk could be procured for a sick baby on the train. Today he was astonished at receiving a letter from B. F. Bush of St. Louis, receiver of the road, commending his action, “Your act proved that railroad offi- clals and employes place the interests of humanity above even railroad dis- cipline,” wrote Mr, Bush. :|ing Komarjan bridge was repulsed. good policy in the case of merchants |« OMAHA, THURSDAY BULGARS FORTIFY STRUMA RIVER AGAINST ENEMY ATTACKS ARE REPULSED Assaults Upon French Lines Reported to Have Met | With Failure. SERBS ARE HOLDING LINE London, Aug. 23—The Bulgarian troops which advanced in northeast- ern Greece recently, seizing positions in the valley of the Struma river, are entrenching on this line, according to today's = official statement, which says: “On the Doiran front (in the cen- ter), about two battalions of the en- emy were seen yesterday in the neigh- borhood of Dautlei. Their advance ttoops were driven in by us. “On the Struma front the enemy is entrenching ~ on the Yenik-Ormanli line. “An attack on French troops hold- “Serbian forces are now holding a line in the neighborhood of Lake Os- trovo and Pozar.” The new Bulgarian entrenched line roughly parallels the Struma. Ap- parentf‘;r the Bulgarians have sent forces of considerable size to occupy this natural defensive line. All Eyes on Balkans, London, Aug. 23.—Developments in the Balkans take first place in both news and editorial columns of the newspapers this morning. The papers display keen interest not only in the landing of the Italian and Rus- sian(;mops at Saloniki, but also in possible action by the Greek and' Roumanian goyernment and in,the new Russian offensive which is de- veloping in Bukowina. According. to unofficial dispatches the Russians are pushing ahead with the greatest enérgy in Bukowina, close to the Roumanian frontier and already have gained “ a very brilliant success.” The Daily News in an edj- torial sums up the Balkan situation as follows: “The imminent general offensive against Bulgaria is of great import- ance. . One of the first results of a successfu! offensive by General Sar- rail would be a complete rupture of Germany's communications with the east and the isolation and capitula- tion of Turkey. This is ‘a plain geo%raphical fact. “There are also othgr issues upon which it is wiser to reflect than to enlarge. These affect the fortunes of the two neutrals, Greece and Rou- mania, as well as the dozen belliger- ents.” Roumania is Undecided. y Berlin, Aug. 23.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—Roumania has nct decid- ed whether it will enter th: war, in the opinion of a person characters ized by the Overseas New: Agency as “a distinguished diplomatist who is especially conversant with Rou- manian affairs.” On being asked by the news agency as to the present situation he said: “At present Roumania is undecid- ed, It probably will not give up its adroit policy of neutrality unless it believes that the really~decisive turn in the war has been reached. Mean- while trade relations between Rou- mania and the central powers con- tinue to be normal and active.” Seven Are Killed and Six Injured in Crossing Accidents Berlin, Md., Aug. 23.—Five persons were killed and four injured when a passenger train struck the car of John Quillen, at a crossing abqut a half mile from Berlin last night. The dead are: John Quillen, his wife and two chil- dren, Denmead, 8 years old, and Nor- man, aged 3, and Henry Predeau, the chauffeur. The injured are the oldest daughter of the Quillen family with a broken | thigh and ‘internal injuries; another daughter, about 10; a son, 6 years old, and a daughter of 4.

Omaha and Lincoln To Work Together For Féderal Bank Omaha and Lincoln areto work to- gether for the location of one of the twelve federal land banks in Ne- braska. This is the plan that grew {out of a conference Wednesday after- noon at the Commercial club rpoms between a committee from Lincoln and the land bank executive commit- tee of Omaha, with Chairman Frank H. Myers 1prcsiding. Those represent- ing Lincoln were Mayor Charles Bryan, Frank Woods and E, Hainer. It was decided that the two com- mittees should work first of all for a land bank in Nebraska, and later, if it develops that either city has a decvided advantage over the other, *\t both shall work for that city, rrangements were made for an- other meeting a week hence.

Snappy harness racing before a large, appreciative and demonstrative crowd characterized Wednesday’s program at the Omaha Driving club’s Great Western circuit meeting at the Speedway mesting—a program in which Helen Chimes, fresh and flushed with victories after an un- usually successful campaign over Ne- braska tracks, fulfilled the brilliant prediction made for her and won the day’s classic event, the 2:18 pacing class, Hal McKinney purse of $2,000, in straight heats. The fact that The Magtiet's dgugh- ter was celarly the favorite in the race and also the most feared by the field of Great Western Circuit class pacers, did not dim a whit the credit she earned and received for romping away with $1,100 in prize money. Hal Conners’ Great Race. And Helen Chimes’ capture of the chief laurels did not overshadow or lessen in turfmen’s minds the signal performance of Hal Conners, a star boarder in the Tom Dennison stables, who, masterly driven by Jimmy Ro- nin, won second honors in the race that marked the initial hanging up of the largest purse ever offered in the history of {\’Jehraska for a horse classic. After setting a valiant pace in the curtain-raising heat, shooting out in front of the field and for the world appearing like he was going to lead the procession until the finish, Hal Conners finally was overtaken and passed by the stepping Chimes mare; in fact, coming under the wire in fourth position, a Canuck stallion, Tramp Quick, being cleverly driven inta second place, Captain Heir at Law, a steac'y, traveling black horse, but not a dark one, thirding.

There were many indications that the railroad presidents were considering the eight-hotir day on condition’ that some definite assurance be given them that future disputes would be arbitra- ted. President Holden of the Burlington, in charge of the committee of the eight, made the following statement: “A mecting of presidents and man- agers was held at 11 o’clock this morn- ing and a recess was taken until 6 o’clock. In the meantime the special committee of the presidents is'in ses- sion, gjving further consideration to the various problems presented by the situation.” Elisha Lee, chairman of the man- agers’ committee, made this state- ment: “There seems td be some question of the accuracy of the estimates made by the railways of what it would cost to grdnt the demands of the train em- ployes, and 1 make this statement to clarify the public mind on this phase of the matter. “There has been no change in our original estimate that to grant the de- mands would add $100,000,000 a year to operating expenses, On the con- trary, subsequent investigations con- firmed the substantial accuracy of .| that estimate. “Confusions may have arisen from the fact that we have estimated that it would cost more than $50,000,000 a year to make the concessions which President Wilson has proposed that we make. The difference between the estimates is due, of course, to the fact that the president has proposed that we immediately grant only part of the demands and that consideration TEUTONS RESUME OFFENSIVE IN RAST Petrograd Says Attempt to Out O0ff Force Approaching Lemberg Repulsed.
