GOLDEN JUBILEE
OF THE NEBRASKA
SUNDAYSCHOOLS
Active Workers From All Parts
of the State Next Week
Come to Omaha for Four
Days' Convention.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday Omaha will be host to the
Sunday school workers of the Protes
tant churches of Nebraska. The oc
casion is the golden jubilee, or fi f
tieth annual convention of the Ne
braska Sunday School association.
It is estimated that the iubilee wil
bring to the city not less than 5,000
visitors. Some of the enthusiastic
workers say the total will be nearer
' 8,000. There will be delegates from
every Protestant Sunday school in
the state and trom many oi mem
entire' classes will come.
Delegates and others who will at
tend expect to pay tneir way. J ney
ask nothing in the way of entertain
ment, but they do ask that homes
be opened to them for lodging. Their
meals they will buy at noteis anu
restaurants down-town.
Coming in Caravans.
From towns and villages, as well
as from the countryside within a ra
dius of 100 miles of Omaha, advices
to Archie Carpenter, the local presi
dent, indicates that caravans of Sun
day school workers, young men and
women and many older persons, will
be here. They are coming in auto
mobiles, prepared to stay during the
convention. This is notably true with
reference to those from the southern
part of the state.
Falls City sends word that that
town and Richardson county will
send a delegation of 400 to 500 per
sons, and that, riding in automobiles,
they will be in Omaha with banners
flying.
Nebraska City and the Sunday
schools ofyOtoe county will be here
500 to 600 strong. The superintendent
of the Nebraska City Sunday schools
asserts that he expects to carry away
the banner awarded for the largest
attendance from a single county.
However, if Otoe county wins, the
Sunday school people there will have
to do some hustling, for they will find
that, if reports are to be believed,
Dodge county will send 1,000 teach
ers and pupils.
Douglas County Barred.
In competing for the attendance
prize Douglas county is barred, which
fact shuts Omaha out of the running.
Owing tu the size of Omaha and the
number of Sunday school pupils in
the city, officers of the association de
cided that it would be unfair to other
counties in the state if this county en
tered the competition.
However, even if the Sunday
chools of Omaha and Douglas coun
ty are unable to compete for the prize,
the young people will be present and
aid in niakmgMlie gathering the best
and most instructive and enjoyable of
any of the kind ever held in any part
of the country.
' With the exception of Friday, the
Closing day of the convention, there
will be morning, afternoon and even
ing meetings. The Auditorium will
be the meeting place and every por
tion of the great building will be
turned over to the association. The
main meetings will be held in the
large hall, with committee and sec
tional meetings in the offices and the
smaller halls.
Inside and out the building will be
suitably decorated for the occasion.
Many Persona of Note. ' '
It is said that seldom ha a conven
tion of any kind brought together as
many prominent and distinguished
men and women as will be at this.
They not only come from Nebraska,
but ,from all over the United States.
Among those who will be in Oma
ha and take part in the proceedings
of the convention will be Mrs. Maud

vision of the International Sunday
School Association of the United
Slates, and is said to be one of the

British Annex New Tribe
In Lower Tigris Region
(Correspondence ot the Associated Press.)
Willi the British Army in Mesopo
tamia, May 2. One of the great
tribal groups of the lower Tigris has
now come completely under British
control. It is known as the Albu
Muhammad.
As an independent entity, the Albu
Muhammad are not of ancient date,
but for the last nine generations they
have had a separate existence on the
Tigris between Amarah and Ezra's
tomb, their headquarters being the
little town of Qual'at Salih.
The Shaikhs showed no pertinaci
ous devotion to the Turk:, with whom
they had spent most of their lives
in active conflict, and made submis
sion to the British forces as soon
as they had established themselves at
'Amarah.
For the last eighteen months they
have shown themselves reasonably
loyal, willing enough to meet unusu
al demand- tor labor on road and rail
way, writes the British official eye
witness with the army.

French Officers Solve M
Problem of Albania
With the Entente Armies in Salo
nika, May 8. Comparatively few per
sons know that the process ot re
making the map of Europe already
has been begun by the entente allies
in the region that has been the obses
sion and the enigma of the foreign
offices of Europe tor the last hve years
Albania.
On December 12 last the capital of
a free and independent Albanian re
public was set up at Kontza, and this
embryo state for its territory ex
tends at present only to the district
of which Kontza is the chiet town
possesses all the machinery of moW
em government a ruling council, an
army 600 strong,' postage stamps, pa
per money, a national flag, foreign
alliances, even a budget that covers
expenditures.
When the French patrols first
reached Foritza and established a de-
tachment there to orotect the left
bank of the entente Balkan front, they
toon found that the hostility of the
local Albanians was not so much love
of the Austrians as resentment of
any fresh incursion of foreigners into
their country. By ousting the royal
ist lireeks and a lowing tne proclama
tion of the independence of Albania,
with Kontza as capital, tne frencn
converted enemies into allies.
Deaf and Dumb Do

duction of munitions in France, with
its enormous .requirements in hand
labor, has opened up a new future for
the deal and dumb, who, before tne
war, were . excluded from factory
work. Wow hundreds ot them are
making shells and .parts of automo
biles and areoplancs tor the army.
Some of them are earning the equiv
alent of $4 a day.
Manufacturers refused deal and
dumb help previously because of the
laws that made employer responsible
for all accidents to his employed and
because the accident insurance com
panies would not insure the deaf and
dumb.
There were always prejudices
against them, arising from the sup
posed difficulty of conveying orders
and explanations.
In practice it has been found that
the deaf and dumb men meet will) no
more accidents than their comrades
who can hear and talk. They lcafn

workmen by ear and, their attention
never being divided by conversation,

MANY OTHER TOWNS
OF OMAHA'S SIZE
Dozens of Cities the Same Size
as Omaha of Which You
. Probably Have Never
Heard.
By A. R. GROH.
Omaha is a great city and we are
all growing with growing Omaha.
And in this connection it is inter
esting to philosophize upon the fact
that there are dozens of cities in the
world the same size as Omaha of
yybich we have never heard.
What? You don't think so? Well,
just cast your eyc.over this list: Ade
laide. Agra, Ahmadabad, Aleppo, Al
lahabad, Bagdad, Baku, Bangalore,
Hclem, Benares, oolton, Carom,
Changsha, Grngkiang, Colombo, Co
lumbus. Danzig'. Delhi, Dortmund.
Duisburg, Elberfeld, Goteborg, Halle,
Hiroshima, lvanove-voztiesensk, Ka
zan, Kiel, Lahore, Leicester, Lemberg,
Lille, Manheim, Malta, Mukden and
Mendoza.
Those take in only half the alpha
bet. 1 hey ire all cities ot about the
size of Omaha. Do you know where
one-fourth of them are? Have you
heard of half of them?
Unless you are a teacher of geo
graphy or a compiler of atlases your
answer is hound to be in the negative.
I must answer that way myself.
Some You Know.
You have heard of some of them
like Kiel, lemberg, Lille and Bagdad
in the war dispatches. You may have
heard of Benares and you may not.
Yet Bena-es is the holy city of the
Brahmins, a city (with 300 mosques
and 1,000 ragodas, a city with one of
the oldest astronomical observatories
in the world, and a Sanscrit college.
I remember Agra because it is there
that the Shah Jehan built the most
beautiful mausoleum in the world, the
Taj Mahal, in memory of his favorite
wife. Whit a wonderful women she
must have been I T '
And Bagdad I Ah, romantic Bag
dad where the good caliph, Haroun
Al Raschid made his midnight jour
neys in search of adventure.
If we wanted to prove the greatness
of Omaha we might compare it with
Bagdad. "Why, look at Bagdad," we
could say. "Bagdad was founded in
763 and Omaha wasn't founded until
1.100 years later. Yet today Omaha's
population is equal to that of Bag
dad."
But of most of tjiose cities named
we have never heard. Their life goes
on as ours dors upon this same earth
but we never know of their existence.
Grow With Growing Pari.
A philosopher said to me the other
day, 1 wonder it they talk- about
'boosting for London' or 'growing
with growing Paris' like we do here
in Omaha."
No, that is a distinctive feature of
life in a new city and a new country.
Imagine the Commercial club of Ben
ares getting together and passing a
resolution to adopt a slogan for the
city, "Boost for Bully Benares."
Or how would you like to "Grow
with Growing Ivanove-voznesensk?"
With L'OO.OOO.OOO people, in the
world it is not possible for us to know
much of each other." Even 200,000
of us don't amount to so much. But,
of course, we're the best 200,000 on
earth. No doubt about that.
. And if the inhabitants of Aleppo
and Baku and Kazan and Belem
haven't heard of us, that is their loss.

Grille in the House of '
Commons to Be Removed
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London. May 22. The grille in the
House of Commons which impedes
the view of occupants of the women's
gauery prooaoiy win oc rcmovcu hi
the near future. The question was
considered by members recently, one
describing the grille as a discreditabtf
and medieval anachronism. Durtmj
the discussion it was stated that for
manv vcars women were allowed to
go into the house and at times, there
was such thongs that iney pressed
into the seats occupied by members.
On one occasion they were so inter
ested in the debate that they took
possession of several seats and it re
quired two hours to remove them.
This resulted in the exclusion of
women for- fifty year;. The present
grille was erected to prevent a repe
tion of such scenes and to prevent
women from talking to members.

CHINA WILL ERECT
MEMORIAL TO HAY
Oriental Republic Will Do
Signal Honor to American
Who Kept the Door
Open,
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Peking, April 21. Sincere apprecia
tion of the services rendered to China
by the late John" Hay, American sec
retary of state, in establishing the
"open door" policy and protecting that
country from dismemberment by Eu
ropean powers was expressed in a
rhcasure which has been introduced
into the Chinese senate to provide for
the erection of a bronze statue of Mr.
Hay.
Recognition also is accorded in the
bill to the' great service which Mr.
Hay rendered to China in proposing
the refunding of the Boxer indemni
ties. Among those proposing the me
morial was C. T. Wang, vice presi
dant of the Chinese senate, a graduate
of Yale "niversity. Several other
Cinese who were educated in America
seconded the motion that the bill be
adopted. In describing Mr. Hay's
services to China, the proponents of
the measure aserted:
Hay Takes Initative.
"It was the late Mr, John Hay, who,
hearing of the proposal of the Euro
pean powers to develop and mark out
for themselves their respective
spheres of influence in China, made
representations to the governments of
Great Britain, Russia, France, Japan,
Italy, etc., suggesting that China
should be enabled to adopt an "open
door" policy with regard to foreign
powers, as, in his opinion, the devel
oping of 'spheres of influence' was
sure to lead to a breach of the peace
in the far east, fortunately, the gov
ernments of the European powers
supported Mr. Hay's idea, and as a
result a common understanding was
arrived at between the powers, which
gave rise to a state of political
equilibrium known as the 'balance of
power,' and secured peace for the for
east. Therefore, it was a great serv
ice that Mr. Hay rendered to China.
Proposes Refund.
"Again, after the Boxer trouble was
over, when our government was re
quired to pay enormous indemnities
to the toreign powers, Mr. Hay pro
posed to the governments of these
powers that they should refund to
China a portion of the indemnifies
after retaining what was deemed
necessary to make good the loss to
public and private property. But the
foreign powers did not give their con
sent to this proposal, so that the
United. States had to carry out the
idea alone.
"The amount of money to be thus
refunded by the United .States was,
not including interest. $10,785,200 gold,
and since 1909 a considerable sum has
already been paid back to China. We
are now using this money for edu
cational purposes, that is, for the
maintenance of the Tsing Hua col
lege, etcIn the third year of the re-
?ublic the United States government
urther refunded to us a sum of $1,
100,000 out of a total .of $2,000,000
gold which China had paid to the
United States as compensation for
loss' to private property, which sum
we are now using for the support of
Chinese students studying in that
cauntry. This was the second great
