Through another street paved with
cobbles and its ides lined with gaunt
skeletons of shell-wrecked houses,

Lincoln, Oct. 27 (Special.) One
hundred Nebraska cities and towns
have organized branch of the "Jrour
Mintite Men division of the United
States Committee on Public Informa
tion," the members of which are
the secretary of state, secretary of
'war, secretary of the navy and George
Creel, according to Prof. M. M. Fogg,
director of the work.
About 825 speakers areenlisted in
the Nebraska "Four-Minute Men"
army. Last week in the second Lib
erty loan campaign they addressed
meetings in 175 of the moving picture
theaters of the state and made some
.100 addresses to miscellaneous audi
ences. Next week they will work in
the food pledge campaign.

ranks whistles and voices joined in
The tune was "Tipperary." It lasted
briefly, as an officer, turning, ordered
"stop that noise!"
As the Germans were nearby, much
depended on approaching the scene
quietly. The troops turned a corner
and disappeared down an ink-tlack
screened road. As a major standvg
there listened he looked continuously
at an illuminated watch di?l. He said:
"The men from the other direction
should now be entering the trenches.
I have been standing here w?- ;ng to
hear if the Germans discov..- the
movement." He paused, listened and
then continued:
"Strafe" Fails to Develop.
"There is no firing yet, although I
expect it, for no doubt we are in for a
'strafe' if the 'bochc' knows we are
going in."
No "strafe" developed, although the
Germans put over a few customary
shells, hitting nothing.
The troops entered the trenches
safely, unit by unit, passing quickly
ti the places assigned them. Quiet
f "ss was essential, but the French
welcome nonetheless, was heard and
it was enthusiastic.
Some Americans Kissed.
Every American was shaken by the
hand, some were hugged and even
kissed on both cheeks, in the French
custom. Some of the French troops
were those who helped to train the
Americans. The trenches were found
to be muddy, but nevertheless, in a
condition of excellent construction.
Greetings being ove the Americans
settled down and at daylight, uncrer
low hung dripping clouds, they got
their first view of the Gt.man lines
stretching away in the rolling terrain.
It hasi rained daily since and the
troops now are" covered with mud.
Officers say they are certain the Ger
mans know the Americans are oppo
site them, but there has been no spe
cial activity.
One American battery observed and
scattered 'a marching enemy group

Completes Training Course.
Washington, Oct. 27. Announce
ment from General Pershing's head
quarters that American troops were
in the front line trenches in France
marks the, beginning of the culminat
ing phase of the training of the Amer
ican war army.
Neither Secctary Baker nor any
War department officials would com
ment upon the news from abroad. It
was plainly indicated, however, that
the movement was regarded simply as
the final course in instruction and not
the real initiation of participation by
the United States troops in the war.
American Front Elsewhere.
The fact that a quiet sector of the
French line has been selected for this
final training work1 is evidence that
the actual American front will be lo
cated elsewhere.
It has been the custom of the Brit
ish army to harden their new units
gradually to the shock of shell fire be
fore making them responsible for the
holding of any portion of the front.
The section in which the American in
fantry and artillery is at work is a
finishing school focthe military edu
cation of the men and particularly ot
the trunners. and wlinf a nffiri-tit1v
Reasoned force has Ibeen developer

tion of the front.
General Scott Goes to Front.
Paris, Oct. 27. Major Genera!
Hugh L. Scott, former chief of staff
of the United States army, has arrived
in France and gone to the front.
After his retirement last month as
chief of staff Major General Scott was
made chief instruction officer of the
new national army. He went to
France to study operations on the
western front and on his return will
supervise the intensive training of the
national army in trench warfare.

(lly Associated Tress. )
London, Oct. 27. Renter's corre
spondent at British headquarters in
Belgium in a dispatch received this
eveni"g says:
"The BavatiVns appear to be hear
ing the brunt of the Flanders fighting
and are evenly complaining that the
Prussians arc sacrificing them.
"The German barrage today was
erratic, the shells flinging up columns
of spray from patches of water. As a
result the British casualties were light.
"Most c'' the prisoners taken were
poor and shuddering. The most in
telligent of them were of the unani
mous opinion that Germany has only
a chance for a tolerable peace, but
they feel that the winter will tell a
terrible tale in the fatherland. They
said they had been told that England
was in as bad a plight as Germany in
the matter of food, but they did not
believe it. All the men agreed the
invincible German military machine
slowly was being pulverized."

Of Cash, Sesto Fined $20

Maguire to Tony Sesto, proprietor of

Sesto was fined $20 and costs by
Judge Madden.
Croley, who. is a collector for the
Collier Publishing company, called on
Sesto for a payment due on a set of
books, and according to his testi
moncy instead of paying Sesto gave
him a black eye.
Sesto was in trouble a short time

Germany to Increase Tax
To Meet Interest On Loans
Copenhagen, Oct. 27 The German
government is considering the intro
duction of new taxation measures at
the December session of the Reich
stag. Additional revenue is necessary
to meet interest on the seventh and
preceding war loans, part of which
were paid from the proceeds of the
loans themselves.

The Value
of the X-Ray
Diagnosis
Dr. G. I. Shlpherd,
.Manager.
'The many difficult and dangerous
qases which come to the attention
of dentists who are abreast of the
times have made it necessary that the
modern dental office be so equipped that
the most careful diagnosis can be made.
A complete X-Ray equipment is a natural
sequence which eliminates all chances
of doubt and guess work. It has become
an indispensible unit' because scarcely a
day passes but that it renders wonderful
assistance in making the right diagnosis.
By the X-Ray methods of diagnosis
we can in a very few minutes dis
pel every doubt and make it just as
clear as day what to do. We have
learned through our years of practice
that it is an absolute impossibility to
rely upon experience alone to decide in
all cases what is right. The Film which
reveals any hidden pus pockets or other
diseased conditions of the teeth can eas
ily be understood by the Layman. The
blind abscess, the impacted tooth and
other troubles all-show.
rThe X-Ray diagnosis is but one of the
many branches of our better service
that makes for the general all-round
satisfaction, which our patients are cer
tain of. Please bear in mind that there
is no charge attached to the X-Ray diagnosis.
