SAYS BREMEN WAS CAUGHT “It is now only a matter of killing Germans and reducing the number in the field,” this is the way the British and French officers view the great war in Europe at present, according to Dr. Phil M. Dale of Chicago, for- merly of Greenwood, Neb.,, who was in Omaha yesterday fresh from four- teen months of hard work in the British surgical service in France. Dr. Dale was on his way to Green- wood to visit his mother and the rest of the family before returning to Chi- cago to respme his regular practice there. He went to France with a large unit of surgeons and nurses, which Dr. Murphy of Chicago organ- iged and placed at the disposal of the ritish in France. “The allies do not consider the present gains on the western front of great importance in themselves,” says Dr. Dale, “but they figure it is the start of a great movement that will gain momentum as it proceeds. “The allies have plenty of men in the field now and l{:ey figure that if Americans drew one notch nearer to the world’s championship here this afternoon when they defeated the Brooklyn Nationals, 6 to 2, in favor of Boston. Tomorrow the conflict will be renewed at Braves field, Bos- ton. Columbus day, tomorrow, is a legal holiday in Boston and Massa- chusetts and the indications point to an enormous attendance. With today’s contest the players ceased to participate in the financial returns, The manner in which Boston tore into the Brooklyn team here this af- ternoon left no doubt as to their in- tention of ending the series as quickly as possible. Pitcher Leonard gave the Nationals a two-run lead in the cpening inning, but his team-mates more than made up the handicap in the second session and, once in the van, refused to permit Brooklyn to creep u p to them. Big Margin in Victory. Today was the first time since the initial game against the Philadelphia Nationals in the series of 1915 that Boston has won from its rivals by a margin of more than one run. The contest, although featured by several sensational plays, did not rise much above the average of a regular- session contest.

Marquard walked Hoblitzell, the first man up, and Lewis advanced him to third with a double to the right field fence. Gardner then cleaned up with his homer, a drive to deep center. Boston added another tally in the fourth, when Lewis singled, went to (Continued on Page Seven, Column One.) Fight Hundred at Grand Lodge Session 0f Degree of Honor (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 11.—(Special Telegram.)—Nearly 800 delegates are attending the sessions of the grand lodge of the Degree of Honor here oday. The grand lodge went on record to continue biennial sessions instead of meeting every three years, as pro- posed at the last convention. Mrs. Mayne Cleaver will be opposed by Miss Theresa Hemple o Plattsmouth for the office of grand chief of honor, the nominating committee reported bis afternoon. Miss Rose Herrick for grand re- corder will have no opposition. In lier report, Mrs. Cleaver, the grand ief, suggested that applications for | insurance be discouraged from,mem- bers in ill health. The question will orobably come up at the business ses- sion of the lodge. The reports of all officers showed the lodge was in lourishing condition.

HUGHES STATES HIS MEXICAN POLICY Says No Man on Earth Knows What Sort of Mess Will Be Below Border by March. RIDICULES DEMOS’' LOGIC Baltimore, Oct. 11.—Charles E. Hughes, speaking in the great armory here where Woodrow Wilson first was nominated for the presidency last night assailed Mr, Wilson's policy to- ward the promotion of American trade abroad, and replied to published statements of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, en- “Dr. Eliot pierces the heart of the matter,” Mr. Hughes said, “and he finds that the record of the admin- istration-means this: No intervention by force ot arms to protect on for- eign soil American commercial and manufactoring adventurers . who through their own free will have in- vested their money and risked their lives in foreign parts under alien jur- isdiction.” The Import of It. “Think of the import of that, you who represent the best genius of the world and are thinking of using it abroad,” Mr. Hughes added. “Think of that, you who it is suggested are to be asked to finance the chief un- dertakings of the world. Think of that, merchants, salesmen, tellers, clerks and dealers, who in ‘serving the world’ take your place remote from your friends and safeguards in communities where revolutions are frequent, and the only respect for your flag and the power it symbolizes may stand between you and ruin, and even death.” Mr. Hughes said he had heard it said recently that there was only one | alternative to peace, and that was war, “I studied logic once upon a time,” he said, “and it had much to say about those who used reason of that de- scription. What He Would Do. i “I have been asked what I would do with respect to Mexico if T am elected president. Now, no man on earth can tell what sort of mess we will find in Mexico next March. But I will say this: There are certain principles that we can lay down to which we propose to adhere. They | are important not only with respect to Mexico, but to Latin America, to all nations. “If entrusted with executive re- sponsibility, I propose to adhere to them. < “The first principle is that we will not meddle with things that do not concern us. “The second is that we will not merely talk about the rights of small states, but we will observe them. “The third is that it shall be un- derstood that at all events the lives | and property of American citizens | will be protected throughout the | world.” | “Dollar diplomacy,” Mr. Hughes said, “Which encouraged the develop- ment of American interests abroad, was dubbed something shockingly | reprehensible.” | Commercial Club.

NEW HEADS ARE OHOSEN St. Louis, Oct.' 11.—The Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann of Boston, Mass, was re-elected president of the house | deputies of the Protestant Episcopal general convention here today. He was opposed by the Re:. James E. Freeman of Minneapolis. The convea- tion met in triennial 'session today. Dr. Mann was first elected president ies at the con= vention_in New k in 1913, Dr. James McNaughton, director of Bi- tynia High school, 'Constaptmople, spoke at a-mass meeting tonight. He described the conditions of Armenian Christians in Turkey as comprising the darkest page in Christian history “It should be noted that the figures do not constitute an estimate by the British authorities. They merely rep- resent the casualties anncunced in the German official lists. Also that the casualties are those reported during the month of September and not re- ported as having been incurred in Septeniber.” 2 and said that more than a million na- tive Christians in Asia Minor were facing death from starvation and ex- posure. Dr. McNaughton made an appeal | for the observance of October 21 and 22, as Armenian and Assyrian relief days, pointing out that President Wil- son recently issued a proclamation asking the people of the United States to set aside this day.

National Guard Must Have All Its Equipment on Hand Washington, Oct. 11.—Regulations made public¢ today by the War de- partment detail what equiyment mili- tary organizations must show at the inspection to be held in January, Feb- ruary and March in order to share in federal appropriations for the main- tenance of the state troops. By the terms of the army reorgani- zation act, any National Guard unit which does not have a full quota of ordnance and quartermaster’s equip- men will be debarred wholly or in part “from receiving from the Unitpd Stateg any pecuniary or other aid, benefit or privilege.” ment must include emergency rations and supplies for each man, to be kept constantly on hand for use in the event of mobilization, besides the usual personal equipment and com- plete outfit kits, signalling apparatus, intrenching tools and medical sup- plies. The department points out that the duty of exhibiting this property to the federal inspectors, properly stored and marked, will rest upon the state authorities. Three Pacific Coast States Republican Chicago, Oct. 11.—W. A. Gilmore, who was a delegate to the last repub- lican national convention, told offi- cials at western republican headquar- ters that he believed the twenty-five electoral votes of the three Pacific coast states would be cast for Hughes and Fairbanks. “1 have just returned from a trip through Oregon, Washington and California and [ am certain that the old breach of 1912 has been practic- ally healed and that the republicans and progressives will enthusiastically support Hughes and Fairbanks,” said Mr. Gilmore.

AFRICAN WORRY STOPPED London, Oct. 11.—"This is no time for faltering counsex or wavering purpose,” said Premier Asquith in addressing the House of Commons today. “This war cannot be allowed to end in some patched-up, precar- ious and dishonoring comprimise masquerading under the name of peace. “No one desires to prolong for a single moment loriger than is ne- cessary the tragic spectacle of blood- shed and destruction, but we owe. it to those who have given their lives, that their supreme sacrifices shall not have been unavailing. “The ends of the allies are well known. They have been frequently stated. They are not selffish, they are not vindicative, but they require adequate reparation for the past, and adequate security for the future” | The house cheered the premier |loudly as he made these' remarks |in concluding his address, after mov- ing a vote of credit for £300,000,- 000. This condition will bring up | the total for the current fiscal year, £1, 350,000,000. Money Left From Last Year, Parliment, the premier said, asked to vote for war purposes what was equivalent to the aggregate expendi- ture for twenty years before the war, although that period included the South African war. When he moved thel ast vote -of credit in July, he estimated the average rate of expendi- ture at approximately £5000,000 daily. That forecast has proved al- most exactly correct. At the com- mencement of the present week, the remier continued; there was still in hand £100,500,000, which would carry until October 27. He gave the aggre- gate exrenditure on 113 days of the financial year as follows: Army, |navy and munitions, £379,000,000, loans to allies and dominions, £157,- 000,000; food supplies, railways, etc., £33.0?“0.900. .,’fihe,fiaux, ,?vgnge- of expenditurés’ has risen slightly, he said, and was £5,070,000 for the last seventy-seven days of the financial ears, Expenditures for the army had fallen off slightly, while those for munitions had increased some- what. Loans to Great Britian's allies and dominions were e¢xceeding the budget estimate rate. They would not be safe in assuming that expendi- tures in the future would be less than £5,000,000 daily. Of Greatest Importance. Reverting to the possibility of loans to allies and dominions exceed- ing the budget estimate of £450,000,- 000, Mr. Asquith said no part of the war expenditure was more import- ant than this. Great Britain had no | selfish interest in this matter, and al- though the expenditure was growing beyond the estimate, he did not re- gret it. Surveying the progress of the war | since the last vote of credit, the pre- mier said hot weather had hampered operations in the secondary theaters, but that in Mesopotamia substantial progress had been made with rail and England to Issue More War Bonds London, Oct. 11.—The House of Commons today began consideration of the problems resulting from the war, with the introduction by Premier Asquith of a new-vote of credit for £300,000,000. Under the procedure of parliament, this step permits mem- bers to discuss any subject. The vote of credit is the thirteenth since the outbreak of the war, bring- ing up the total to £3,132,000,000, As today’s credit vote is expected to last only until the end of the present year, another request will be neces- sary before March, but in view of the statement made yesterday by the chancellor of the exchequer, Reginald McKenna, there probably will be no fresh public borrowing in the shape of a long term war loan at present, as the country’s needs are being met by revenue from taxes and by short | dated notes. The latest 6 per cent ’cxchcquor bonds yielded more than £20,000,000 last week. Financial cir- cles, and particularly holders of 4% per cent war loan and other lower riced issues, which recently have allen to a discount, are hoping the premier will make some statement re- garding the possibilities of conversion of their holdings into a new loan when such an issue is considered, Germany Gets in Line For New War Loan Berlin, Oct. 11.—A bill for a new war credit of 12,000,000,000 marks will shortly be submitted to the Reich- stag.

Cyclone Sweeps Over St. Thomas, Doing Big Damage St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, Oct. 11.—A cyclone swept over St. Thomas Monday night and yesterday morning, with disastrous results. Al- most every building in the city was damaged, and some were destroyed. There are many homeless persons and it is probable some form of public re- lief measures will be necessary. The damage thus far reported runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. So far as is known there was no loss of life. The storm began Monday night, and after an interval of calm, it began again with increased fury. Trees were uprooted and much damage was done to shipping. The Hamburg-American line steamers Calabria and Tasgen- wald, and the Danish dredge St. Hilda were blown ashore, The Calabria probably is a total loss. The Danish motor-steamship Anholt and the Dan- ish barkentine, Thor, were wrecked and the entire fleet of small craft, as! well as the recently completed har- bor, will afford heavy damage. The electrical coal conveyors on the har- bor front were destroyed President Leaves To Talk in Indiana Long Branch, N, J,, Oct. 11.—Pres- ident Wilson left hereat 1:50 o’clock this afternoon for Indianapolis, to de-~ liver two speeches tomorrow after- noon.

Roumania's entrance into the war, making it im- possible to get food, and lack of sup- ort on the part of the people of the nited States, are given by Dr, Stuart as the responsible causes. So far 3,180 tons of food have been distributed about Belgrade, in addition to carloads of clothing. The number of persons dependent on the commis- sion is 36,000, The Austrian govern- ment has arranged to supply free food to 10,000 people after the commission ceases its work and will give pensions to another 10,000, This will leave 16,- 000 unprovided for. Dr. Stuart said the Red Cross had been able to tide the Serbians over the bad time while crops were grow- ing, and that food was rather plentiful in Serbia now, although clothing was still much needed.

SIFTS DEMOCRATIC POLIOY Clarksburg, W. Va, Oct. 11— Charles E. Hughes told an audience which gathered at the station here today that in his stand for the pro- tection of American lives, property and commerce he had no agreements with anybody. “I stand for American rights throu;hnul the world, without fear or favor,” Mr. Hughes said. “I have no understanding, no agreements, no in- trigues with anybody, but I stand for the interests of the United States and the protection of American lives, American property and American commerce throughout the world. “Our friends on the other side talk about their policy, particularly in Mexico, as though it were lelic of peace,” Mr. Hughes continued. “It has not been a policy of peace. It has been a policy of destruction of the lives and property of American citizens because of the withdrawal of protection that should have been ac- corded.” For Protecting Tariff. Mr. Hughes spoke for protective tariff, asserting that in its applica- tion he would not “aid any particular sort of American citizens at the ex- pense of the others.” o, The nominee assailed the adminis- tration again for the enactment of the Adamson law, i “I am not opposed to the principle of an eight-hour work day,” he said. “I favor that principle. hat [ am opposed to is government by holdupi what [ am opposed to is having the government abdicate its power, offi« cial and moral, in the presence of the demands of force instead of knowing what is right and then doing it.” Mr. Hughes assailed the adminis- ! tration for extravagance, asserting | that the democratic party four years | ago had arraigned ‘he republicans for | extravagance and then “proceeded to | break the record for extravagance.” Mexican Affairs ... .. ‘Ave Talked Over B 8% Atlantic City , N. {., Oct. 11— Schooled by General Taskert H.
