Jefferls is to make the notification speech at the ceremonies at Evanston, Iir. July 29, advising Gen. Charles G. Dawes of his nomination for vice president on the republican ticket. Jefferls made the nomination speech at Cleveland and now is to "follow through" by advising the candidate. This honor comes to Nebraska chiefly because it was the Nebraska delegation that brought, about the nomination of General Dawes. While other names were being discussed Ne braska stood solid for Dawes, in the meanwhile working with might and main with other delegations. Nation-Wide Attention. Naturally Nebraska attracted much national attention as a result of the big incident. Now Nebraska is to gain further distinction, because a Nebraskan has been selected to make the speech of notification. lie is one of the Nebraska delegates who stood like a rock for the nomination of the former Nebraskan. Jefferls has received a telegram I from W. H. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee, Invit ing him to make the address of noti fication. Congressman Burton of Ohio had been originally designated, but will be in Europe. ‘ I deem it a signal honor to be ir.vited to make the address of notifl cation," said Jefferls. “Of course, I shall accept. The nomination of Dawes was an honor to Nebraska, our delegation's work for Dawes attract ed favorable attention to our state nrd now this honor will give Ne braska still greater prominence. Nebraskans to Attend. “I do not know what arrangements will be made by Nebraskans to par t.olpate In the affair, but X presumo a number will attend. Mrs. W. A. Prince of Grand Island, a member of the Nebraska delegation to the Cleveland convention, was designated as the Nebraska member of the noti fication committee."

Nothing will be announced, however, until after consultation with Mrs. Prince, the Nebraska member of the notifi cation committee. •>-1 Former Ornahan Die*.

By Associated Press. Paris, July 4.—United States Sena tor David A.

The senator, who was hailed ns a wartime officer, brought Ills auditors to their feet when he added: k "We may differ about the detail, perhaps, but together we'll save civilization and if we are divided we cannot exist." Premier Herrlot replied, asking the continued aid of such Americans «s General Pershing, General Dawes and Senator Reed. "Blessed be the dear Americans who crossed the, sea to succor wound ed France, who loves you and who will remember you forever," he de clared. “We still have need of you and I demand your aid for my noble, great country,” The premier then scored the "in solent materialism of Germany" and declared that Jhe peace treaty would not have a far-reaching effect with out the aid of the United States. Kellogg Entertains. I.ondon, July 4.—Ambassador Kel logg this afternoon entertained sev eral thousand British and Americans at the embassy and tonight he pre sided at the annual dinner of the Arrserican society. At the dinner were several cabinet members. In cluding Arthur Henderson, Philip Snowden, Lord Oliver and J. H. Thomas. In a facetious vein, Mr. Thomas raid that if the Americans rf 1776 had dreamed a labor government would have attained power in England in 11324, the spilt between the old coun try and the colonies never would have occurred. "We cannot blame them; we can cnly sympathize,” he said. "We can not condemn them for they knew not what they did.” Toasting "The Day W'e Celebrate.” Ambassador Kellogg said til# prin-i pies upon which the United ■States wns founded were those for which the British people had struggled and fcught for 500 year*. They were the same principles the United British and American peoples fought for dur ing the world war and principles the forthcoming allied conference would attempt to follow for the betterment of the world's civilization. r~- ' Gravel Shot Out From July i Cannon Tears Flesh From Boy's Lep v___—-' herald O’Connor, 11, 1508 South Twenty fifth afreet, was painful)' hurt Friday when stone* fired from a cannon belonging to uiv identified boys, fore part of the flesh from the calf of hi* leg.
