Urged to Exercise Economy
in Handling Fuel and
Food Situation.
Be Safe Anywhere
Eat Without Fear
Traveler Hare Learned. That Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets Protect the
Stomach from Heartburn,
Sour Risings, Gas Fer
, mentation and Other
Distress.
iKroin a Staff Correspondent )
Lincoln. Nov. 3. (Special) Not
withstanding one member of the state
board of control has been charged
with having "bees in his bonnet" be
cause he criticized the methods of
some of the heads of state institu
tions under the control of the board
in the handling of the fuel situation,
the board again risks a call down
from subordinate employes and char
ges that heads of some of the institu
tions are not careful enough in buy
supplies. In two letters sent to heads of in
stitutions the board charges that the
right to buy goods under an "emer
gency purchase" clause of the rules
is being abused and that goods are
being purchased under this head
when they could be better purchased
under the contract system of bidding
o nsupplies.
The board urges the strictest of
economy in handling the situation as
regards food and rM supplies needed
by the institutions and hopes that it
will not be necessary again to call at
tention to the fracture of rules of the
board governing the handling of mat
ters in institutions under their con
trol.

Omaha Man Sees
Sinking of Troop
Ship by U-Boats
How Uncle Sam is sending soldiers
to France under the protecting wing
of the American navy is told by Jo
seph F. Kramolisch, chief yeoman of
the transport Henderson, home on a
visit to his parents at 1711 V street,
South Side.
Kramolisch was an eve witness to
the sinking oT the first American j
transport, the Antilles, in which many I
persons were drowned. Speaking ol
the scenes attending the tragedy, Veo
man Kramolisch said:
"The Antilles was about 3(H) yards
from us when the U-boats began pep
pering it with tdrpedos. So success
ful were the Germans that the Antil
les gave up the ghost and went down
in a few minutes. We wanted to res
cue some of the poor, unfortune sail
ors, but for a big ship to trp anything
like that would invite a torpedo."
Yeoman Kramolisch had made
three trips across the Atlantic on the
Henderson. The first trip, he declares,
was without excitement, only one sub
marine putting in ah appearance. The
second trip, Kramolisch said, was the
exciting one. The Henderson put up
a running fight with a submarine
which lasted for an hour and 20 min
utes, finally evading the 'U-boat.
Yeoman Kramolisch joined th
navy in 1907, re-enlisting in 1911. He
has a brother, who is cashier of the
First Security bank. South Side.

Not More Than Half New
Officers in Service S$on
Washington, Nov, 3. Probably not
more than half the men now in of
ficers' training camps scattered
throughout the country have any
hope of getting immediate service
with the new national army.
Not more than that proportion of
the 1.J0O in training at Fort Myer
here have active service in prospect
and thes ame ratio is said to prevail
at all the other camps.
All those who pass the tests arc
practically sure of getting their com
missions in the officers' reserve corps,
but a good half of those will be p ut
on the inactive list waiting for the
colors..
This is said o be caused by the
fact that the first ramps turned out
enough ofltrcjs for the troops now in
cantonments, and the remainder of
the new officers will not be needed
until there are new drafts.
Barristers' Club Offers
Aaid to Soldiers' Dependants'
A free legal aid bureau for depend
ants of Omahans who have answered
the call to the colors will be estab
lished by the Barristers' club. This
action was decided at a meeting of fhe
club Saturday noon.
The bureau will probably be estab
lished in the City National bank
building in the rooms now occupied
rs kea'iip'arf rrs of the Four-minute
men. It is the plan to have a repre
sentative of the club at the bureau
each afternoon and free legal advice
will be given t to any dependant of an
Omahan now in the service of the
country.
