Official confirmation that Nebras ka troops of the S9th division would stop over in Omaha for three hours on their way to Camp Funston this week came yesterday in telegrams received by Mayor Smith and the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. The telegrams came from Adjutant Cen- eral Harris, who on Saturday wired . the Omaha parties that the Nebras- kans would not stop off in the city while enroute to Funston. No ex planations were offered in regard to the contradictory messages. Though the exact date of the visit of the soldiers remains undetermin ed, the news that the Nebraskans would surely stop off the allot ed time spread over the city like wildfire. It will be Omaha's biggest day and no effort will be spared to make the preparations come up to the great ness of the occasion. It is quite probable the unit will arrive in the city either Friday or Saturday of this week. HAS FAITH IN HIS OWN BUSINESS From Wednesday's Pally.
