THE GALLOWS FOR
GUILTY WAR LORDS
Nuremburg Editor Fearlessly
Demands the Abdication
of Emperor William.
NO USE CROWN PRINCE
Alleges People Are Searching For
Guilty Men Germans Are Has
tily Moving Out of Brussels
Oity Is Excited.
(By Associated Press.)
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 22 Fearless
ly taking the position that Germany
has no longer any use (or Hohen
zolerns, and that the nation must be
relieved of their obnoxious rule, the
FrankiBChe Tagespost, of Nurenv
burg, the province of Bavaria, is the
first newspaper In Germany to op
enly demand abdication of Emperor
William. Not only does the Tages
post voice thai sentiment, but boldly
declares in the same issue that acces
sion of the Crown Prince to . the
throne Is entirely out of the ques
tion. Continuing farther, the, paper
editorially states that the German
pepple "are searching for the men
"guilty of carrying on the war, and
they do not forget th;.t pan-Germans
and Junkers are the classes respon
sible for inciting the struggle and
are a constant menace to the safety
or the Fatherland." Going still deep
er into the araignment of those who
nave brought the German govern
ment to the verge of ruin, the Tages
post editor throws reserve aside and
places himself in a position to re
ceive the outpouring of Imperial
wrath in the closing sentence of his
scathing denunciation by exclaim
ing "To the gallows with the guil
ty, whoever they may be."
GERMANS LEAVING BRUSSELS.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 22. Ger
man troops in Brussels ,the capital
of Belgium, occupied by the imperial
forces in 1914, are working almost
night and day In removing war ma
terials to some point to the east out
of present reach of the advancing
allies. Many regiments have already
taken departure from the city, and
there is great excitement among the
Belgian population. The allies in
Flanders have captured the big gun
with which the'Germans have oeen
bombarding Dunkirk.
PAUSE IN BIG DRIVE.
WITH THE ALLIES IN BELGIUM,
Oct. 22.--The general situation to
day seemed to he that on most of
the fronts the allied armies had
reached the point of pausing for a
short time, which is inevitable where
raipid advances have been made, in
order that artillery and amunltlon
may be brought up. German resist
. ance stiffeneu materially during last
' night, especially along the Scheldt
river. On the front of the British
fourth army, with which U. S. troops
are fighting, last night was quiet and'
the situation in the Valenclennes
iecateau area.
METZ IS PIVOT.
ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR LEAD,
Oct. 22. Developemont of the plan
that Is being followed by the Gorman
high command in conducting tho re
.treat from Northern France ana Bel
gium, makes It apparent that Metz
Is being used for a pivot for the
movement, whilo the Germans are
pouring fresh divisions Into the lines
opposite the united States troops
northwest of Verdun, thus attempt
ing to hold the allied advance in
check at the latter points until the
Hun legions can swing back toward
the (Belgian frontier. It is plainly
apparent now, however, that the
enemy line has been outflanked in
Belgium, where the Scheldt river has
been crossed east of Lecateau. The
Germans may be forced to fall back
to the line along the Meuse river,
in the meantime attacks by the allies
threaten to disorganize the German
retreat from Belgium. Haig's men
are now within two miles of Valen
ciennes, and the Germans aro ex-
ohnnrinn the city. The
massing of fresh divisions, fronting
American troops is in nrimw

More Stringent Regulations
Put Into Effect to Curb
Jnfluenza Epidemic.
CITY COUNCIL PUZZLED
Request of C. O. Thomas For An
Auto Runway Into the Fisher
Store Building a I'foblem
Jtemnins Unsettled.
At the regular meeting of the city
council lost evening the most im
portant matter coming before that
body for disposition was the request
of C. O. Thomas, of the Overland
Garage, to establish an auto run
way from Jackson street into the
store building formerly occupied! by
Fisher s dry goods establishment.
Mr. Thomas has been negotiating
for the rental of this building for
the past several weeks to be as a gar
age, salesroom nnd repair shop, and
it Is stated that all arrangements
have been made with ownors and a
satisfactory agreement reached In
reference to the necessary alterations
to be made in order to accommodate
the Overland headquarters.. How
ever, there was one point in refer
ence to the transaction that Mr.
Thomas wlsned to dispose of before
entering into an agreement to lease
the building. This was for an auto
run-wny leading from Jackson street
to the interior of the ouildlng and
the matter was was placed before
the members of the city council for
final action .thereon, ,.iat Mr. Thom
as may be assured of no friction In
the matter after he had become in-.
stalled in the building. He also de-;
sired to have the cluster lights in
front of the building removed, this
being necessary in order to build the
proposed run-way, and also wished
to construct a gasoline, service sta
tion on Jackson street adjoining his
new garage. , .
' Willie It seemed to be the disposi
tion of a majority of the members
of the council to grant all the re
quests made, still there was a grave
doubt in their minds whether or not
this could be done and carried; on a
main thoroughfnre of the ciiy with
out endangering the lives of pedes
tarians, automobiles backing out of
the .garage in a careless manner
would probably result in declaring
the runrwny a nuisance. In fact,
while there seemed a decided will
ingness among the councllmen not
1.0 check any business enterprise of
whatsoever nature, still, the propo
sition was one they did not wish to
take snap j-udement on, -and in or
der to be fully odlvised in the matter
and just how far they could go with
the request made hy Mr. Thomas
decided to have the city attorney give
an opinion in reference to the legal
ity of the procedure. As soon as his
opinion is given Mr. Thomas wil. he
odvised what procedure he can take
in reference to constructing the run
way. The health and police committee
reported they had carefully inspect
ed the various bakeries nnd restau
rants in the city and found them in
i clean and sanitary condition.
The complaint received form resl
lents In the vicinity of the Willett
home that the roots of shado trees
were interfering with the sewer will
be proporly adjusted through an or
der made by tho mayor that the trees
be removed, at once.

The startled lady began looking,

that a rifle bullet had struck the

a mute evidence of the source of

WAR STAMP 000TA
TO BE DOUBLED
Information has been received
that the present Beries or W. S. S.
will expire on December 31. 1918.
and that a new series will je placed
on sale January 1, 1918.
With the new series on sale the
restrictive phase of the law will be
changed. Under the present law It
is unlawful ana a penal offenso for
any person to have over $1,000 of
these stamps in their possession
with the entrance of the new Beries
this 1b changed so as any porson
may have 1,000 worth of each
series In their possession.
The law Is amended so as that
$4,000,000 worth of stamps are to
be Issued instead of $2,000,000 ac
cording to' the original bill. It is
said the new 1919 series will be
changed in color andl iprobably In
size bo as to make tho same disting
uishable from the present series of
1918.
The government has Issued orders
to postmasters asking that the public
be asked to place large denomina
tions of Btamps on their letters and
packages. It Is necessary that the
waste along this line be stopped and
conservation along these lines he
followed out just as far as possible
It Is very common to use five two
cent stamps where one ten-cent
stamp would suffice, or see a five,
ten towns, five threes, and ten ones
where one 50-cent stamp would
suffice.
Stamps ranging from one cent to
SO cents are carried In stock at most
of the post offices and It Is hoped the
public will help conserve on thla line

For this purpose huge camouflage
nets are provided, of wire and fish

tied bunches of green burlap, of the
same color as the surrounding grass
or foliage. And thuB Slewed from

75 millimeter gun takes an over
hanging net 30 feet square, the 156
millimeter gun has a 37 foot net,
and the American machine gun gets
an 18 -foot net. The nets are graded
In. ten eblors ot greon. and earth-.-.
brown, sd' that the shield may nave
the exact tint of. the surrounding
trees. The nets are shipped to the
