quoting telegrams received there from
the Austrian capital. The dispatch
saya that Bulgaria and Turkey have

Humors of More Strikes
Among Omaha Workmen
Rumblings of the possibility of
more local strikes among workmen
were heard Friday night at the regu
lar meeting of the Central Labor
union at the Labor temple.
R. Geary, delegate from the elec
trical workers' union, reported that
nome of those unionists had been
locked out by boss electricians, who
had declared they would not hire
union men in the future. He asserted
mat an attorney for the Business,
Men's association, had refused to con
fer with him in the matter. '
The Central Labor union thereupon
went on record as not favoring auy
affiliated union allowing its members
to work on jobs, where members oi
any union had been locked out.
Secretary John Polian of the Cen
tral Labor body indicated that the
action might lead to strikes by other
unions, which had work to do on
jobs where the electricians consider
ed themselves aggrieved.

SPANISH WAR VETS ATTEND
Half of South Omaha was on deck
last evening at Twenty-fourth and N
streets. The strains of martial music
played by a brass band, accompanied
with an occasional bugle of a Span
ish war veteran, attracted an im
mense crowd. Amid all, Old Glory
waved with glorious freedom and re
cruiting sergeants who had planned
the blow-out did their best to enlist
one and all.
E. L. Jones, or just "Jones," Spanish-American
war veteran, who has
felt the ping of more than one bullet
at San Juan and other hills of Cuba,
was the donator of the brass article.
Jones paid for the music out of his
own pocket. Captain McKinley was
one other outsider who took part.
Sergeants Compt, Crudin and Drom
ing of the Omaha recruiting station
were army officers in charge of the
meeting.
At 9 o'clock the street was packed
to the other side. Cheer after cheer
went up to Uncle Sam. The police
had a difficult time keeping the crowd
hack. In the center of a throng be
fore a little table the sergeants sat
taking the names of those who en
listed. At 10:30 o'clock the count
stood better than fifteen men, all of
whom will enter the-regular army.

Mutual Movies to
Get Behind Wilson
With Picture Power
Chicago, March 7. (Special Tele
gram.) John R. Freuler, president of
the Mutual Film corporation, today
issued the following message to the
motion picture industry and the
theaters, which publish pictures to the
public on the screen:
' "The .United States of America is
now at war with the German empire.
It has long been inevitable regrct
ablc, but inevitable and necessary. It
is now for us to support our govern
ment, make valid its demands, its
plans, its action.
"The motion picture, in the period
since the United States was engaged
in its last conflict at arms, has grown
into the estate of a new form of public
press. The picture today supplements
and completes the all-important mis
sion of (he newspaper and other or
gans of the public press.
"As a part of the public press the
motion picture has its privileges and
its obligations.
"We of the motion picture industry
can, I believe, be of peculiarly vrl
uable service to the nation in this time
of strees.
"The motion picture is a great
power. Let us skrive to make this
power serve the just and patriotic
purposes of our government. Let us
make our screens aid the cause of
preparation and mobilization. Let us
get the government's story, the appeal
of the army and navy, and munition
makers and workers, on the screen,
"In expression of the attitude of
the Mutual Film corporation, the fol
lowing message was today sent to
President Wilson:
"'In behalf of the Mutual Film cor
poration, an institution in intimate
contact with the 16.000 motion picture
theaters of the United States, I offer
you our service in communicating
your policies and the will of the gov
ernment of the United States to the
people through the medium of the pic
ture screen.

Danish Ship. Esther
Is Sunk by Torpedo
London, April 7. A Rotterdam
dispatch to the Times says that the
steamer Borneo is bringing to Ymui
den seventeen members of the crew
of the Danish steamer Esther, which
has been sunk. The men had been
five days in open boats in snow
storms when they, were rescued and
the majority were unable to walk.
The Belgian relief ship Trevier is re
ported to have been still afloat on
Thursday afternoon.
There are three small Danish
steamers named Esther, the largest
of which, and presumably the one
torpedoed, in view of the number of
survivors, was a vessel of 266 tons.
The Trevier was torpedoed without
warning tn Wednesday off Scheven
gen, Holland.

News from Washington Causes
Great Enthusiasm, Epecially
Among the Canadians.
WILL NOTIFY THE GERMANS
With the British Armies in France,
April 6. (Via London, April 7.)
The news of the action of the United
States senate in voting for war with
Germany reached the far-flung west
ern battle line today and was hailed
with cheers. Nowhere io the gratifi
cation greater than along the section
of the from held by the Canadians,
with whom many thousands of Amer
icans are serving. Many Canadian
and British companies were busy to
day preparing signs to hjld up over
the trenches, telling the Cermans the
tidings from Washington. This is
the favorite plan of the Tommies to
convey all sorts of bad news to their
enemies across No Man's land.
"Ut. Rid of Your Kaiser."
German prisoners tanen today had
not heard of President Wilson's ad
dress and knew only in a vague way
of the breaking of diplomatic rela
tions in February. Some of the trench
siens which were Drenared included
a brief translation into German ol
the presidents statement that Amer
ica was entering the lists against the
German government and not against
the German people. Others included
the latest slogan:
"No peace with the Hchenzollerns;"
while stilt others read: "Get rid of
your kaiser."
The British army as a whole has le
garded America as practically in the
war ever since the severance of rela
tions, the news of which was greeted
as the best news which had reached
the trenches for many months. It
was said then that active participation
was only a matter of time. The presi
dent's address was just reaching the
front trenche today in its entirety.
The gist of the speech had teen sent
out by wireless and also by telegraph
and telephone, but the soldiers gen
erally preferred to wait for congres
sional action betorc spreading the
news to "Fritz."
Papers Eagerly Bought.
On their way back from the front
trenches today the troops who had
been relieved eagerly bought two
days' old London papers from the
French newsboys, in order to read
the American news and the text of
the president's speech. In the little
French estaminets, cafes and villages
behind the lines there was great ex
citement among the old civilians and
the poilus on leave. One old gray
haired Frenchman, waving a bit of
writing paper, said he was sending
the good news to his son in the
trenches so as to be sure he would
not miss it.
The weight of America thrown into
the scales just at this juncture, in
what is regarded as the critical year
of the struggle, has sent a renewed
thrill of confidence all along the
front. One could' sense it everywhere
today. Visiting Canadian headquar
ters and the Canadian trenches the
correspondent was greeted every
where with outbursts of congratula
tions. One young captain, whose
mother is American, said:
"I feel like hugging everybody in
sight. Everywhere I have been today
I wanted to call out the soldiers and
ask them if they had heard the good
news. We Canadians now feel that
our American family has been re

united. This will mean wonders for
the future relationship of Canada and
the Upitcd States. We feel more like
brothers than ever before."
There was much specuratlon along
the front as to the manner of Ameri
can participation and an almost uni
versal wish that the United States
should be represented on the fight
ing' line at the earliest possible mo
ment, if only by a brigade or division 1
Mingled with the universal desire
that the war should soon be ended
was the generally expressed hope
that it would last long enough to
give the Americans a chance at the
Germans.
Apart from the purely military
view, the soldiers keenly appreciated
the moral weight of America's deci
sion. "We know how delighted we
are and cannot help feeling that the
news will equally depress the Ger
mans," was the expression, not of
one British officer, but of scores.
Some of the British officers reiterated
the view expressed to the correspon
dent when diplomatic relations were
severed that American participation
might first consist of the sending of
special detachments, such as avia
tors, machine gun sections and bat
teries of artillery.
While the Canadians are loath to
lose the services of any of the thou
sands of Americans in their ranks, it
was stated at headquarters today that
it was realized that, with an American
force in the field, many of these
splendid soldiers would desire to be
released so ; s to serve under their
own .flag. Their long training and
experience under most desperate bat
tle conditions would prove an inval
uable aid, it was conceded, to an
American expeditionary corps. Many
of these men might also be available
for return to America to help in train
ing, alt is also expected that America
will ask that a large number of its
officers be attached to the British
army for observation and experience
under the actual conditions of Euro
pean warfare.
Toasts were drunk to America at
many a front line dugout tonight.
The British look forward eagerly to
the participation of America, thus
helping to completely outlaw German
militarism. It can be truthfully said
that the khaki-clad army faces the foe
tonight with renewed determination
to bring about a quick and decisive
result.

Health Talks
(By Dr. Burhorn)
Chiropractic for
' Stomach Trouble
The nerve and blood supply to
the stomach perform an important
part in the elaboration and secre
tion of the gastric juice and a very
important part of the nervous sys
tem is the furnishing of energy
for the stomach movements dur
ing digestion.
The nerves leading to the stom
ach pass out from the spinal cord
through, little openings in the
spinal column; if they are im
pinged by a subluxated (dis
placed) vertebra, it interferes
with the transmission of nerve
energy leading to the stomach and
cause that organ to become
diseased.
Chiropractic spinal adjustments
will free the nerve from the pres
sure that is causing the trouble,
nature will restore normal func
tion to the organ and health is
the result
If you are suffering with some
form of stomach trouble make a
thorough, open-minded investiga
tion of the Chiropractic principle
and then be guided by your better
judgment.
Consultation Is Free.
Adjustments are $1.00
