ON BATTLEFIELD
General Gives Vivid Portrayal
of Huns' Fiendish Glee and
Inhuman .Methods of
Warfare.
Major General E. D. Swinton, in
"entor of the British war tank, spoke
to a crowd which overflowed the
lobby of the Live Stock Excnange
Thursday afternoon. He told in
vivid language of some of his ex
periences on the European battlefield.
and described the inhuman treat
ment of prisoners of war by the Ger
mans. One instance which the General
cited was that of-a young Canadian
aviator who was shot in the arm dur;
ing an air battle with tht Germans
and forced to bring his machine
down. German officers took him to a
3hed and with a pile of straw for a
bed left him five days without med
ical attention with barely enough
food to keep him alive. His arm had
cjrown stiff, gangrene had set in, and
his arm had to be amputated to save
his life.
Another instance of the Germans'
fiendish glee over inhuman methods
of warfare was that of a captured
German officer who was being es
corted to the rear by a British officer,
t recognized courtesy of warfare ex
tended to captives of high rank. They
came upon two British Tommies lying
by the-roadside who were suffering
death agonies from a poison gas at
tack. The German officer pointed to
the dying men, and laughed derisively
at their plight. j"The British officer
had a pistol in his belt, and that Ger
man brute never laughed again," said
General Swinton.
Frank G. Odcll of Omaha, who has
been with General Swinton on a
speaking tour for JLiberty Bonds,
made' a short, stirring address and
introduced the speaker.

Miss Niel&ei. in Recital.
The, last of the series of concerts
given for the benefit of the Associated
Charities took place last evening at
the Boyd theater, when Miss Alice
Nielsen, soprano, gave a song recital
before a comfortably filled house.
Miss Nielsen charmed her listeners
by the beauty of her lovely lyric voice,
by her skill in using it and by the ex
quisite art of her. interpretations.
Miss Nielsen knows well the charm
of the small song and last night she
brought many of this type of artistic
song into her program, sieging them
as they should be sung, and making
the audience feel their loveliness.
She also knows the type of song
which best suits her voice, and with
contrasts of tone color, with entranc
ing pianissimo and beauty of sus
tained legato, she makes them dis
tinctly hejr own.
Miss Nielsen's program was subject
to change, and to a great deal of it, the
first group being the only, one which
went according to schedule.
This contained two unusual songs
to Omaha audiences the "Weather
cock," by Liza Lehman, and a bril
liant "Under .the Greenwood Tree,"
by Buzzi-Peccia. Of her French song,
"Si mcs vers Avaient des Ailes," was
giveti with excellent effect, also "Le
Papillon," by Fourdrain. Two negro
spirituals arranged by Burleigh were
her next contribution, "Deep River"
and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,"
each delightful with its own senti
ment, and the repose of her presenta
tion. "The lark" did not leave its
watery nest, as it was supposed to, at
the beginning of her next group, nor
did she ask, "Why should we fear the
darkness?" even though all Farnam
street was dark when the audience
came out. Instead Miss Nielsen sang
the old Irish, "When Love Is Kind."
and followed it by the "Fairy Pipers."
although I do not at present recall
the composer.
In "But Lately in Dance," by Aren
sky, Miss Nielsen did some of her
very finest work of the entire evening,
singing this highly poetic song with
consummate art.
Mr. Thomas Griselle was thorough
ly enjoyable, both as an accompanist
and as a soloist. His own composi
tion, "Japanese Arabesque." was
unique and fascinating, and his other
piano solos won him deserved recog
nition. Mr. Griselle. responded to an
encore with Chopin's "Butterfly
Etude," and Miss Nielsen responded
to several. She also gsaciously sang at
the close "Qxit Fine Day," from
"Madam Butterfly," by Puccini.

Farmers Pay Big Interest
On Farm Mortgages
Farmers of the United States pay
$418.56 per minute in interest on
farm mortgages, says R. C Peters
of the Peters Trust company. This is
more than $600,000 per day. Mr.
Peters is vice president of the Farm
Mortgage Bankers' association of
America, which will hold its next an.
nual convention in Kansas City Oc
tober 1 to 3.
The figures compiled by the asso
ciation show that more than $4,000.
000,000 of farm mortgages are in ef
fect in this country. The census of
1910 showed that there are more than
1.350,000 mortgaged farms in the
Lnited States.
''Investigation proves that farm
mortgages are not evidence of
poverty," said Mr. Peters. "They
merely represent borrowed working
capital. Iowa and Wisconsin are con
ceded to be am am or th 1..:n.
" . awvjiug
perous farming states and in both
over 51 per cent of the farms were
mortgaged in 1910. The average
merchant or manufacturer does bus
iness largely on borrowed capital,
carried on short time bank notes. The
fa.mer borrows his working capita!
on long time by using his farm a
security and is not subject to the
same anxieties as the merchant
whose obligations usually mature in
60 or 90 days."
High Art Students Ply
Brushes to Boost Bonds
I Pupils of the art classes of Central
High school have prepared an inter

senting pictorial arguments in favor
of the $1,000,000 school bonds which
will be submitted to the voters next
Tuesday.
The need of a new High School of
Commerce is the chief argument, and
in presentation of that thought one
of the young artists depicted a Com
mercial High pupil traveling on a mo
torcycle to cover the distance be
tween the detached buildings of his
school. 1
