Other guests of the evening were citizens of Missouri Valley, Tekamah ana w asnington, most ot whom came in automobiles. Soldier and civilian guests alike were delighted with the exeat mid way show.

"I noticed the men closely down there," he said. "The Americans are high strung and will do things in a hurry. They will do splendid feats of daring at the fiont and will learn quickly, once they get into actual fighting. "The Hollanders, for instance, are slower to start though they are regu lar fools for fighting once they get going. Fire a cannon behind a com pany of Dutch soldiers and not one will bat an eye." "But fire one behind an American company and every man will jump. This high tension will nut life into the fighting ranks abroad." Chooses Own Men. Captain Risch's company is one of the most interesting in the whole Ne braska brigade. Most of the men have been personally chosen bv him and there are a larae nronortion of foreign birth, or at least foreign de scent. "There arc Bohemians, Russians, jTi Poles, Lithuuians, F.ngllsh and Ameri cans m our company," he said. "And don't forget the Irish!" as he glanced at a rfd-headed sergeant with twink ling eyes who stood by. All arc de voted to Captain Risch whom they vote ' a good scout." Many men in Company D speak several languages. Captain Risch himself speaks English, German, Spanish, Dutch and French. "But that's nothing," lie says. "My dad speaks four,teen." Captain Risch is the only one of his family in America. After he had been here awhile he thought it a "foolish notion" to have come. Then he met an Omaha girl and at once he knew why he had come to America. He 1ias a wife and babv toeave behind when he goes out to fight again. Captain Risch had one brother in the Dutch navy, now dead. His only remaining brother is a tea planter in the Dutch East Indies, who will be in Omaha within a month and who is scheduled to speak at the Commer cial club then.
