XLVL—NO. 1167 ALL IS WELL AND ALL WILL BE $0, SAYS HINDENBURG Commander of All the German Armies Says-Allies Will Not Break Through Western Pront of Teutons. : THAT JUST THE BEGINNING Even If Foe Smashes Line in France, Thirty Years' Work Is Before Them. SLEEP IS MOST IMPORTANT Berlin, Oct. 30.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—“The situation is as good \ “ws possible and all will be well also in the future.” Thus Field Marshal von Hinden- burg, chief of the German general staff, described the present war situa- tion to a representative of the Vienna Nigue Frei Presse whom he recéived at headquarters in the presence of General von Ludendorf, first quarter- master-general. As to the duration of the war Field Marshal von Hin- denburg said: y “That depends upon our enemies. Prophesying does not pay. In th‘e hour of war one had better leave it alone. It is possible that the year 1917 will bring battles which will de- cide the war.” However, I do not know, and nobody knows. I only know that we will fight this war to a final decision.” Do Not Think of Peace. General von Ludendorf here added: “We do not think of peace. We gre absolutely decided to continue the war, as is shown with sufficient clear- ness by the measure of the allied (Teutonic) commands.” This interview with the chief of staff was given out today by the Overseas News agency for publica- tion. It continues: “The correspond- ent in turn reported to Field Marshal von Hindenburg on the general feel- ing in Austria«Hqfigary, declaring it was one of confidence and satisfac- tion, but,that, as everywhere, the end , of the war was wished for. The field marshal replied: ‘That we all wish; undegstand this well. The Austro- Hungarian people have accomplished their full duty during this war and have made all the heavy sacrifices which were necessary. But still new sacrifices must be made lest those al- ready_ made have been made in vain.’ ‘ Morale Important. A “General von Ludefrdorf interjected:’ ‘Tell your Austrian friends that there is only one efficient means for ending the war; a firm will to end the war by ~ victory. Every soldier and all otherg must work together; they must realize that Wo way but war leads to peace. Munition is not all; not. gremades, but the marale of the troops brings the final decision, and the morale of the ‘German and Austro-Hungarian troops is superior to that of all our adversaries. Nevertheless, munitions mean very much in this war. At a previous visit Field Marshal von Hin- denburg told you ‘the main thing is discipline.” That is true. Discipline is based on the completed education of every individual ‘man, “Asked whether there was any chance that the war would be culmin- ated by a decisive blow, General von Ludendorf said: “‘Perhaps. The trend of" events \ must show this. I prefer to make no statement.’ “Asked whether the Russian masses shall be exhausted Field Mdrshal von Hindenburg replied: Sleep Most Important. “The field marshal said that since the beginning of the<war he had been on home leave in order to see his family only seven days. Speaking on | the importance of Sleep, he said: ““The main thing is sleeping. Soldiers must be able to sleep—that is a most important quality.” As for the sleep- ing pf army commanders while great “decisions were going on, the field marshal said: ‘Why not? if every- thing goes as you want it then sleep is, perhaps, somewhat less sound, and if everything is well then, of course, you sleep all the better.'” For Nebraska—Fair; colder, b Tethperatures at Omaha’ Yesterday. m. . m. p. m. p. m 57 Comparative Local Record. 1916. 1915, 1914, 1913, HigHest yesterday .. 62 78 73 37 Lowest vesterday .. 41 63~ 43 19 Mean temperature .. b2 66 68 28 Precipitation T .00 .00 .00 Temperature a from the normal: Normal temperature precipitation de.pnnuiu-n 1 precipitation y since March 1, cy cor. period, 191 .98 inches Deficlency cor. period, 1914.... 2.80 Inches Reports from tSations at 7.

PROTECTION IS NEEDED East Liverpool, O, Oct. 30.—Charles {Evans Hughes~replying further to statements in President Wilson's Cin- cinnati speech told an audience here today that the $2,000,000,000 increase in American exports last year was due almost rzlusivcly to the demand cre- ated by the European war aqgd cited a statement by Chairman Hurley of the Federal Trade commission, to uphold the claim that America is “not pre- pared for post bellum' competition with Europe.” “That $2,000,000,000 increase,” Mr. Hughes said, “représents almost ex- clusively the demand created by theT European war. What are we to do? There'is but one safe cougse. It is idle to talk about conditions of work if there is no work. And ygu can't have any lasting_basis for prosperity unless you. apply the protection to -American industries. “I was amazed the bther day when the spokesman for the opposing party told the people that we were ready. He said in*substance that the nations engaged in this struggle are so wasted by war that we need not~Tear their competition. “That is a very serigpus mistake if ou want to know what the facts are. iat those who speak for the opposing party take the words of the federal trade commission, spoken almost at the same time, as a result of their own inquiry. What is the use of having soscalled expert bodies if we do not pay any attention to what they say? “This is what Chairman Hurley of the Federal Trade commission said last week in New York on this very subject, and I commend it teo the very serious attention of those who speak for an opposing policy. He says: __“‘While in many respects we know little of what is going on in the war- ring nations, we do know that within sound of the guns, almqst within reach of the falling shells, Europe is reawakening its industries.’ “He says, further: ‘Under the stress of a lifé and death struggle ev- ery effort is being made to attain the highest efficiency in the production, in the distribution and in the u#e of com- modities of’ all kinds” He adds: ‘New processes are being discovered, new inventions are being made_and new forms of organization are bein, created, and that war has compc%fi Great: Britain 'to make thirty years of industrial progress in thirty months. Must Increase Efficiency. “{f our industries ‘are not to be caught sfow; of mind and flabby of muscle we must improve our business organization and increase our manu- facturing and-merchandise efficiency, and must keep pace with every step in Europe.’ / “That is the statement of the board by the chdirman of it, with respect to increased efficiency . abroad. They have got organization. They have got a better knowledge” of themselves. They Afave got a better discipline and efficiency in production than ever b- fore. The economic basis of the pro- duction has not been affected. Even the waste of the men, in view of the numbers coming along year by ycar into industrial activity leaves them with more men, today to enter into production than they had before. Protection Also Néeded. “Now these are facts for American business men and Amerjcan workifig- ment to think carefully over. When it is said here we need organization 1 agree. ‘When it is said that'we need development of alertness and power, [ agree, but there is one thing that wi nqt said: It is the thing which our opponents, in view of their principles, cannot well say. It is a thing that we do say, and that is, whatever your organization, whatever your alertness, you have .got to have your markets protected against the competition of labor that is paid less than you are. “We propose to protect American industry. You cannot run this country on the principle of tariff for revenue only. \We want to build up Ameri- can industry, protect the American wage scale and lay the foundation for social justice.” Mr. Hughes spoke in the dpen air here ‘before a crowd which was so noisy that his voice could hardly be heard fifty feet away. He left at 11:30 for Stubenville. Indians Predict Mild, _Iflg}lt Winter Duluth, Minn,, Oct. 30.—Northern Indians schooled in woodcraft, through the signs of streams and for- est, see a kindly, sdftened winter, and their labors thus are lessened. They will not go to any great shakes to have their squaws build warm wig- wams, they say. \ The Indians base their belief on the light corn cro@, the scarcity and lazig ness of the squirrels at this time, when'they should be filling their tree caches. In addition the muskrats are dilatory in building theirt habitations; the fur-bearing animals have thin coats now, when they should be fitting and bark on trees is loose.

London, Oct. 30.—In reply to an inquiry from the American embassy, the admiralty said today that there were forty-nine Americans in the rew of the Marina. The admiralty ‘informed the em- bassy that the Marina was torpedoed, but that it had not been ascertained whether warning was given. No official information_is~available whether any Americans were drowned, although only thirty-four survivors have been landed at Crook Haven. The Marina, which was out- ward bound, was torpedoed twiceand broke in two. It is reported that men were drowned while attempting to lower boats. Mr. Frost has been ordered to obtain all available in- formation in regard to the Americang on the vessel. The admiralty says the Marina was not under government charter. /" Lansing Withholds Comment. Washington, Oct. 30.—In the ab- sence of definite informition, Secre- tary Lansing refused to comment on, either case. It has been reported to the de- partment that the Rowanmore was sunk in a heavy fog and that the submarine in that way may have shelled the departing boats. In the case of the Marina some of- ficials take the view that even should it be under charter to the British gov- ernment, the ship would not lose its character as a merchant vessel unless the British had put a naval crew aboard. Thedispatches did not make clear and the department is anxious to learn whether the Marina attempted to flee.

Union Men Asked .

The action came after a report that Charles C.

According to the story, a number of Omaha men known to have Ger- man sympathies received invitations last Wednesdaf' from A. L. Meyer, manager of Willow Springs distillery, to be his guests at dinner without indicating what the purpose of “the sesgion was to be. As a prelude to the " déscussion, some matters con- nected with the wet and dry campaign were brought up and tifen the sub- ject raised of all joining in an ef- fort to re-elect Hitchcock i a recog- nition of his services to the German propaganda, ¥ Val Peter, editor of the local Ger- man paper; Myd a document, ,already drawn ‘up for signatures, lauding Hitchcock and telling why, Germans should support him.

Meyer last night after reading The Bee's article, “I think you should make this correction that thé purpose, of our dinner was wholly non-politi- cal.

Other matters were, it is true, brought in for discussion—in fact acting_ as presiding officer, I was asked to invite opinions on several matters—but I want to insist that the candidacy of Senator Hitchcock and the matter of giving him sup- porf in recognition of his friendly attftude to the Germans, was inidental and was not_the ptme object and it was wholly chance that all, but two or three of the guests do favor Sen- ator Hitchcock.” Carranza Now Has * Army of 175,000 New York, ‘Oct. 30.—An army of‘ 175,000 men, well equipped, provis- ioned afd clothed, is now under com- mand of General Carranza and sat- isfactory progress is being made to- ward a restoration of peace in Mexico by the breaking up and externvination of the different “bandit” organiza- tions, according to Andres G.

The change, it is stated, is due to the de- sire that the minister of war, who must decide military measures at home, should have a thorough expe- rience in the increasing wants of the army in the field, General von Stein was_appointed to the cofimand of the Fourteenth reserve army corps in September, 1914 after having served as quartermaster ‘general.
