1'r. II. M. McCliinnhan was quoted a
anylnR on the. same subject and occasion:
"We need more, harmony between the
Water board, tho city commissioners and
the citizens before we movo forward at
our nest strides."
Which .provokes city commissioners.
"It Is a queer thlnK," says Commis
sioner Ryder, "that men of Intelligence
do not understand, or seem to appreciate
the fact that the city .commissioners
huve nothing whatever to say about any
property or equipment subject to Water
board control. The Water board Is abso
lutely supreme. It ia a law unto itaelf.
The city commission hits no voice In any
thing touching its power' or control. We
have no more to do with Water board
matters than has any other citizen or
set of citizens In Omaha. Dr. McClana
han and Mr. Wallace are Just as potent
In this connection as any city commis
sioner, or all put together.
"So, let ne say, there is no dispute, no
friction, no lack of harmony between the
Water board, or, Mr. Howell and the
commission, for the reason that there Is
Ho chance for any, as the law stands.
"I can't aee why this fact Is not clearly
understood and appreciated. I wish The
Bee would try to make It clear In tho
minds Vt these good people. We, the
members of the city commission, are.
Indeed, the servants of the citizens and
.the taxpayers and we keenly realize that
fact. We also admit that the members
of the Water board and Ha general man
ager are their servants, but when It
cornea to curbing or controlling the latter,
It Is a matter, not for the city commis
sion, but for the citizens, themselves, for,
as I say, the Water board Is a law unto
Itself with power' supreme in all that it
dominate." f

MaObeuge, France, on November S and
went on an extra-hazardous scouting sx

During the trip the Valnigen was fired
upon by land artillery and later pursued
by armored aeroplanes and was re
ported dlHabled. Since then Mrs. Ougler
has had no definite Information as to
the welfare of her relative.
The photograph was taken Just before
ascending, as the outcome of the Journey
was highly doubtful, and in war time
there Is more or less brotherly feeling
among soldiers In the same fight about
sending back remembrances of men that
are likely never to return. Mrs. Qugler
has Just received tho copy sent to her.

he would get more than a few dozen from

"And how many towels d'you wontT"

"I think you'll do better with twelve

"And now," I asked, when I had told
the tale of the uncommunicative cyclist,
"what Is the matter with your battalion?"
They laughed cruelly at me. "Mat
