5 - 2—A GZAR LONG READY T0 ATTACK KAISER Alleged Text of Secret Order Issued Four Years Ago Published at Berlin. DETAILS OF THE SOHEME Berlin, Nov. 11.(—By Wiresless to Sayville.)—The assertion of Chan- cellor von Bethmann-Holweg in his address to the Reichstag main com- mittee that as long ago as 1912 Rus- sia had made plans for war on Ger- many was supplemented today by the ~ semi-official Nordeutsche Al- germein Zeitung, which published what i given as the text of the Rus- sian government’s general order to which the chancellor referred. In his address Dr. von Bethmann-Hel- weg said at the time the war began there was still valid an order “from the highest place” that a proclamation of war against Germany. ‘ext of the Order. The text of the order as given by the newspaper follows: “Secret—Chief of Staff of the Warsaw Military District: “Quartermaster-general’s moboilization degntmem. % “September 30, 1912.

The armies assigned for operations against Germany will be combined into one group under command of the chief commander of the group of armies before the Ger- man front. The second army, to which the Sixth corps belongs, will be incorporated in a group of armies on the northwest front, The staff of the chief commander of the Second army will have quarters in Warsaw until the seventh day of mobilization and later on at Volkovisk. “The general task of mobilization on the northwest front, after the com- pletion of mobilization, will be to march against the armed forces of Germany, with the objeet of carry- ing the war into its territor(y.

The claim that the amendment is “unconstitutional” rests upon the inclusion of the word “forever,” so we are told, because nothing can be decreed “forever.” That con- tention is built upon sand—for the adoption of a constitu- tional amendment makes it constitutional until repealed, and the word “forever” necither lengthens nor shortens the time. Does any one believe all this fight would have been made and all this money spent to beat a proposal sure to be nullified because unconstitutional? As to the majority required to adopt an initiated amend- ment, it is plain that all that is required is a larger vote “for” than “against,” which vote must be not less than 35 per cent of the total number of ballots cast at the election. towal vote in the state goes up If the even to 300,000, (which it is scarcely likely to do) the 35 per cent will call for 105,000, and on the returns already in the vote “for” the dry amend- ment exceeds that number. So, regardless of any wish in the matter one way or the other, we repeat: “Don’t delude yourself, Mr. Wet.” | WILLCOX WAITS | OFFICIAL COUNT IN CLOSE STATES (Continued from Page One.)

Hughes in the unofficial New Mexico returns early today by 1,184 votes, with twen- ty-nine of the 638 precincts missing. ‘E’hcsc precincts were small and wide- ly scattered. | Late returns on congress gave Wal- ton (democrat) a lead of 1,776 in 542 precincts, For senator, A. A. Jones (democrat) has a lead of , with sixty precincts missing. In the gubernatorial race, De Baca (democrat) led Bursum (republican) by 1,050 votes, with 118 precincts not reported. Situation in California. San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 11.—An- alysis by democratic leadérs today of the popular vote in San Francisco failed to give much encouragement to the claim of the republican state cen- tral committee that a split electoral vote would result from scratching of democratic electors. In this city the low democratic elec- tor, Mrs, Carrie L. Tyler, received 77.&30 votes, only 411 behind Francis J. Heney, high, with 78,241, If the same ratio were maintained through- out ‘the state, it was said, Mrs. Tyler would be ngproximnely 2,466 votes behind the head of her ticket. The present democratic plurality, how- ever, is 3,278, leaying the republicans lrproxima!cly 800 short of even one elector. i Louise Clarke, low republican elec- tor, ran 292. votes behind Brittton, high, with 63,130 votes, in San Fran- Eight precincts were yet missing early today, with a possibility that the unofficial state count would not be complete before the official canvass, which begin§ Monday. Unofficial returns show both anti- liquor amendments decisively beaten, although managers of the dry cam- paign refuse to concede this as yet. Legal counsel has been retained by republicans and democrats to aid in watching the final counts. In"addi- tion, Deputy United States marshals and secret service men have been de- tailed in the large counties, notably Alameda (Oakland) with, roughl 100,000 votes and Los Angeles wit 250,000 votes, on the two big tickets, ‘!'odlz bein{‘ a half holiday, the count by clerks probably will start Monday and the final count in the of- fice of the secretary of state on Thursday. Perhaps by a week from tomorrow the final official results may be known. . Thompson Urges Dry - ’ Workers Stay Organized (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 11.—(Special Tele- gram.)—W. T, Thompson, c of the Nebraska Dr¥ Feder: a statement today, after thanking th supporters of the prohibition amend- ment, says: “The county and local federations which did such splendid work in car- ri;ing the amendment should not feel that their work is entirely over, and it is recommended that these organi-! zations be maintained for the pur- Kg»c_of co-operating in making pro- ibition effective. The moral influ ence of these organizations for the enforcement of the amendment which has been adopted will prove of in- estimable value to the law officers, who we have a right to expect will do their duty in that respect. If this is done, Nebraska will show itself to be one of the cleanest, 8s it has shown itself to be one of the best and most progressive states in the union. Order That Suit for Thanksgiving NOW!

BREWERIES WILL BE POT T0 OTHER USES Owners Already Figuring On Turning Plants Into Manu- facturing Concerns. |TO GROW WITH THE CITY One of the questions of the hour re- lates to the future use of the brew- eries after May 1, when Nebraska will begin its era of prohibition. Although the echoes of the recent clection have barely died away, the brewers and distillers of Greater Omaha have taken thought of the morrow. They intend to keep right on growing wtih growing Omaha and whe nthey cannot make beer, they will make other products in their ex- tensive plants. Albert Krug, vice president and general manager of the Fred Krug Brewing company, said: “We have made no plans, but in all probability the plant will be used for some other industry. It is a little carly to speak of the matter.” According to inside information, the Storz brewery will be used as an ice manufacturing plant, Gotlieb Storz is out of the city and it is understood he is considering this proposition with eastern men, o Figure on Catalogue House. Unless present ?Ians miscarry the Metz brewery will be remodeled to suit the needs of a catalogue house which the Metz brothers intend to start, They have been favirably im- pressed with the idea of openin catalogue house in the west,’ inas- much as this-trade territory has = ex- panded by leaps and bounds during the last few years.” There is no cata- logue_house of any pretentions west of Chicago. 3 The -Gate City Malt company will reorganize as the Gate City ’dillin company and will manufacture alfalfa meal and poultry food. No plans have been made for the use of the Willow Springs brewery. . Inquiries have been received at the Commercial club from outside pros- ective manufacturers asking for: ine ormation rcfinrding idle plants after the first of the year.
