When Shackles of the Past Are
Thrown Off.
OMAHA, Oil. 5. President Wil

Ills first speech here today. "As
against tho verdict of the next four
years, I do not care about tho verdict
of 19 Hi,' lie declared.
.lust before-the president bean
spoakinK, ice cream in the shape of
loves of peace were placed before
liim niuid applause. He was intro
duced by J, A. Sunderland, president
of the Omaha commercial club. The
entire audience stood and cheered
;ind waved their napkins.
"The time lias come," tho presi
dent said, "when America lias had
thrust upon her t lie necessity of
serving; the world.
"That alters our commercial prob
lems and In fact, all our problems.1
The men who insist on doing tilings
in the old way will be pushed to the
rear."
To Serve, Xot Kvplolt.
Tho president said it used to be
that it was thought right to exploit
tile world, but now it was necessary
to serve (lie world.
"America can lead the world if she
will only see the way,'' lie added.
The president declared he knew
how tho fodera'i'"reserve act and lire'
federal trade commission act were
conceived and lie knew they created
a situation under which American
business men could succeed if able.
Mr. Wilson caused laughter when lie
said lie knew men, who had on their
shoulders "merely knots lo keep
them from raveling out." Such men
never succeeded, he declared.
lie added that lie knew some men
in politics who kept working over old
ideas.
The president declared he liked the
west because 'so many tilings are
started hero." lie said the railroads
had done the people of the west more
material good than spiritual good.
Shackles of the 1'n.st.
"i have been a student of hislory
and I have noticed that progress
conies when shackles of the past are
thrown off. There are ninny tilings
that make people believe the present
time is tragical.
"Hut after all this war is going to
help the United States because it Is
making us a part of the world instead
of provincial.
"Only in recent years have Ameri
cans come to study foreign trade" Mr.
Wilson added. He said amid applause
that It was tlmo that the United
States realized it must bestir itself,
lie cited tho examples set by Circuit
Britain, France and Germany in es
tablishing banks abroad and said that
until the federal reserve act was
passed American business men trad
ing abroad had to do business
through banks.
"The fact is," he said, "that the
world has been pouring its wealth
upon us."

IN AN EFFORT TO i
SECURE MILK
XKy. VOKK Oct. The, Dorden
Condensed .Milk Company, which
supplies one-filth of all the milk
sold in this city, announced loday
that it would meet the demand of the
Dairymen's league for an increase
in the prices paid to farmers of K
cents per lno pounds.
MOW YORK, Oct. The first
disorder growing out of the milk
situation took place here early today
when it was necessary to call police
reserves to disperse more than alio
women, mostly foreigners, many
w-ith Dahies in arms, who stormed
two health department milk stations
in Harlem.
The women had previously can
vassed stores In the neighborhood in
search of milk for their children and
finding none for sale they gathered
at the city stations. A few were ad
mitted. Those on the outside fear
ing that the supply would lie ex
hausted before they could be served,
rushed to the doors of the building.
Orficers in charge of the stations
said that their supply today was less
than half of that received yesterday.
Hut approximately 3."i per cent of
New York's normal supply of milk
reached the city tills morning, accord
ing to I.. It. Brown, director of the
food department of the board of
health. This limited amount was
conserved as far as possible, he said,
to the actual needs of children and
hospitals.
X V.W YOKK. Oct. ."i.- Five hundred
women, nio-llv wive, of striking
street cur men, rushed out of an up
town hall, where they had listened to
an address by "Mother" .lours, the
labor orator, denouncing the strike-
! breakers ami the traction heads, be
gan to riot late today ami attacked a
trolley ear.
They hurled stone-, shiiltcrinj win
dows and drove the motorman and
conductor from their jiosts. A battle
with the few policemen on hand en
sued. The officers u-cd their clubs
freely. Many women were struck
and a number were arrc-ieil, tojctlicr
with several men. A call for rc-ene-was
sent in.
"Mother" Jones in her s,i.,.eh to the
wi men dechireil that theirs would be

LONDON", Oct. Tho Hussians
have broken out Willi a new offensive
in Turkish Armenia, reporting an ad
vance on a wide front extending from
the Black sea coast west of Trebi
zond well into the interior. The Rus
sian fleet co-operated with the land
forces in the fighting along the coast.
in the Kara Uumu river region the
Russinns carried a fortified position
and west of Kalkit-Tchlvtlik south
west of Treblzond broke through the
Turkish advance and Inflicted heavy
losses in men and material upon the
Ottoman forces.
Along the 125 mile line from the
Vladiniir-Volynskl in Volhynia to the
Dneister near Halicz in Oallcla, the
Russians are continuing their deter
mined struggle for Lemberg. For the
first time In several days Petrograd
today reports progress, announcing
that hostile positions at various points
have been captured during the pro
gress of the stubborn battle.
Ituiuaiilans Defeated
The bold Invasion of Bulgaria by
Rumanian troops which crossed the
Danube near Rahovo in the rear of
tho main battle lino in Dobrudja
lias ended most disastrously for the
invaders according to Sofia, their
force being scatered and virtually
willed out.
To combat the Rumanians, who ap
parently were from 12,000 to 16,000
strong, but declared to be without ar
tillery, the Bulgarians sent troops
from Rustchnk and Turtukal on
either side of tho point of crossing.
Caught between the two forces, the
Rumanians are said to have made for
the pontoon bridge, which they found
destroyed by Austrian monitors. So
fia's officii! announcement asserts
that the invading force broke in dis
order and that yesterday the Bulgar
ians were engaged in completing Its
destruction.
Regarding the operations along the
Dobrudja front south of the Tcher-
navoda-Constanza railway the cur
rent Sofia statement reports the re
pulse of all Russian and Rumanian
ittenipts to advance. Bucharest has
claimed substantial progress with the
attacks near center and toward the
Black sea coast and yesterday report
ed the capture of more than 1000
prisoners and seven guns from l'leld
.Marshall Von Mackensen's forces.
London's official statement speaks
only of artillery activity and raiding
operations in the Eoninie region.
On Macedonian Front
On tho western end of the Mace
donian front the Serbians are press
ing northward toward Monastir,
fighting on Serbian soli to the south
east and close to the border further
westward. In this latter region they
have reached the town of Buf, twelve
miles below Monastir, according to
Paris today, whWe around the bend
of the Cerna they apparently are still
nearer their objective.
The current Bulgarian official
statement deals with tho situation In
the Monastir district only In a gen
eral way but declares the Serbians
along the line to tho east were foiled
in attempt to advance In the Mo
glenlea valley near Struplno. A re
pulse for the British beyond the Stru
ma on the eastern flank of the battle
front also Is reported.

WHY I AM FOR WILSON
l!y J'.U'I, ITLU':i,.n,
(Noted American !iitcriiatiin;il Lawyer.)
My ii'inciial reasons I'm' lielievinjf it is in llie in
terest ol' the country that, President Wilson he con
tinned for another term are:
1. The president has. in the face ol' wliat some
considered insiirmoiinlalile obstacles, carried-onl the
promises of his parly as contained in the democratic
platform. The nm.st cursory study of the platform
and the legislation completed diirino- the past three
years will show a most nuiis'ial fulfillment of party
pledges.
2. True to his education and ideals of o-itveni-incnt.
he has faithfully and unfalteringly endeavored
to interpret the wishes of the majority of the people
of the count ry. Moreover, the terribly trying exper
iences of the last two years have placed him in a posi
tion where, it hove all ol hers, he should be iiiallfied to
continue in the management of our important and
delicate foreion affairs.
