With ,the Lafayette Squadron, Monday, Sept. 24. The death of Douglas MacMonagle of San Fran cisco, a member of the Lafayitte squadron, occurred during a patrol flight with two other Americans, Lieu tenant Lufhery and Sergeant Rock well. They were attacked by eight German machines, believed to belong to the combination known as the "Tango Circus." Apparently Mac Monagle was -taken by surprise. He 'ell within the French lines. Sergeant Rockwell went to the res cue, but :t wag too late to save his comrade.

Mother Enroute. Behind the bare official announce ment that Sergeant MacMonagle of .san Francisco had been killed in an aerial encounter with two German machines, lies one of the most poig nant tragedies of the war, says the Herald. Almost at the moment the sergeant met his fate the mother, widow of Dr. Beverly MacMonagle, an eminent Pacific coast physician, was completing the journey of 6,000 'miles from ; San Francisco to visit her only son. Sergeant MacMonagle, who was in Paris a few .days before he was killed, seems to have had a presentiment to his fate. He said to friends: 'Well, fellows, if they el me, you may bank on it mother will have thf :onsolation of 'knowing! I passed out fighting and doing my best, as she would wish.it." , , Lieutenant Lufbery is reported to have downed another German ma chine. Observers state the German fell inside- the French lines. ' Few Respond, More Needed f For Omaha Scoutmasters Scout Executive English, as a result of an article and cartoon in The Bee, has already received a number of ap plication from men who, want to be tcontniasters and assistant scout nastcn to take the places of those ,vho have 'joined the colors. "There is still most urgent need for more men to fill, these responsible po sitions," says Mr. English. "When we remember that juvenile crime in England has increased 59 per cent since the Boy Scout movement was neglected by reason of the departure )f scoutmasters for the front, we "ealize the importance of this work. President Roosevelt has made a most urgent appeal to men who are too old or who, for other reasons, cannot join the fighting forces, to come forward and take their places as Boy Scout leaders. I am hoping to get a large number of applications tor these positions in Omaha. " i , Typewriter is Donated ' To Ambulance Company Through The Bee's appeal for" a typewriter lor me vinaua nrauunuic company has come a donation ' of an $85 Reminton, owned by Mrs. MV E. Tillson, 4903 Chicaco street. ' "I saw the notice in The Bee ask ing for a typewriter for the boys and I decided it was the opportunity I had been waiting for. I would rather give it to the Ambulance company than any one else for several reasons, one of which is that I am patriotic and the machine has been operated by the daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter of a soldier of the civil war." "The company will be delighted with the patriotic donation," said Gould Dietz, chairman of .the com pany. : '. :.

GERING TANGLE IS STRAIGHTENED OUT Stenographer Makes Error in Putting Names in Wrong Column on Slip Fur nished by Board. Delegates from Scottsbluff county, including Judge R. W. Hobart of the Seventeenth judicial district and Dr. L. R. Jones of the local draft board, who conferred with the First district appeal board of Nebraska in Omaha Tuesday, left for home, satisfied that merely a clerical error accounted for the apparent discrimination among men drafted from Scottsbluff. Members of the district board ex plained how, a small error on the part of a girl stenographer, sent in as volunteer help for a day by some business firm, caused near-riots and trouble galore for the vicinity of Scottsbluff. Volunteer Help. The district board at the time of the mistake had been depending on volunteer help sent in from business men who loaned their stenographers and bookkeepers for a day to help the board. There was no one person who looked after the matter of re cording these facts and as a conse quence the confusion came about. A girl recorder, who did not under stand and did not realize the great seriousness of the matter, recorded all the names on one sheet of the reports from Scottsbluff in the wrong column. . Thus men who had been exempted were recorded as "not discharged or exempted" and the names sent back to Scottsbluff with this report. Tuesday the delegates from Scotts bluff and the district board took all the papers pertaining to Scottsbluff and went oyer them thoroughly. In a short time the error was spotted and it took only five minutes after that to clear the a tmosphere, al though before there had been bit ter feeling and charges of gross unfairness against the astonished members of the district board, who had tried to be fair to , all, so they said. ' Go Home Satisfied. The Scottsbluff men went home satisfied and the board, somewhat nervous after the strain of the last two days,' was preparing to continue its work as usual, with the utmost caution to be exercised in the fu ture. , ' 1 ' VAs to the charge that we ex empted rich man," said one member of the district board, "we are trying to show no favors. The board is going on the idea that if a man has a wife and family he should not be drafted when there are single men to take his place. "These men sent in affidavits that they had wives and families depend ent on them. We did not go to Scottsbluff to investigate them. We are taking the stand that the Ameri can people are not liars. "And we do not think a rich man with a family should be compelled to go because he is rich necessarily. We hpliev in hcitur fair tn thp rich K men, too, as well as to the poor ones, J hat would be showing class distinction to compel a man to go because he is rich. He may be as vitally necessary to his family as a poor man." Federal Marshal Greets Briscoe and Visions Fade George Briscoe, colored, saw his vision of freedom fade, away at the expiration of his term in the county jail or having whisky in his posses sion. Deputy United States Marshal Quinley waited upon him and served a federal warrant charging him with bringing whisky here from . St. Jo seph and he will have tff answer in the federal court to that charge. S. B.

"While Des Moines is having all the trouble attending the establish ment and maintaining of a huge mili tary cantonment, Omaha is getting the money," said Colonel F. A. Grant, quartermaster of the Omaha supply depot. "All the supplies used at Camp Dodge come from the Omaha depot and a large per cent of these are purchased right here in Omaha. Al though Des Mojnes may have the glory of having the cantonment, it has also many inconveniences attend ing it and Omaha 'need not think it is not benefited." As an example of the money that is coming into Omaha through the army supply depot here, Captain Cantlon of the quartermaster's staff has just fin ished the sampling and purchasing of $250,000 worth of supplies to be sent to the camps served by the Omaha depot. About 75 per cent of these were bought from Omaha merchants," said Captain Cantlon. A great deal of money is coming into Omaha in this way. Chief Quartermaster George 3.

Union Pacific Decorates Windows With Pennants As a patriotic measure every win dow of the Union Pacific headquarters building has been decorated with a red, white and blue pennant. On the blue field, above the red and white stripes, a golden eagle, with wings set, has been placed. 1 National Food Administration Agent Neal is well satisfied with the marketing of wheat under the price fixing plan inaugurated by the gov ernment and expresses the opinion that from now on farmers throughout Nebraska are going to' come to the front and nobly help in doing their bit to feed the country. Mr. Neal says that within the last two weeks there has been a most pronounced loosening up of wheat held in first hands in anticipation of higher prices, which he adds,5 can never come. Advices to Mr. Neal are to the effect that out in the state, up in South Dakota and in Kansas, large quantities of wheat are being sold direct to the millers and that generally their immediate demands are being supplied from wheat raised in local territory. This action upon the part of the farmers has relieved the situation materially in such'mjll ing centers as Omaha. Supply Local Mills. As a result of farmers' supplying the local mills with wheat it has left a goodly supply to be turned over to the mills at the big flour manufactur ing centers and again most of the big plants are running full time. Considering the demand for wheat by the mills in Omaha trade tersitory, the receipts here are quite satisfac tory and Mr. Neal is of . the opinion that they will continue to increase as farmers and others who are carrying large stocks realize that prices are not to be any higher than at the pres ent time. Waltman Waiters Reports For Army Hospital Duty Waltman Walters, son of General Manager Walters of the Northwest ern, .arrived from.
