SOUTH SIDE
OMAHA BOOSTERS
BACK FROM WEST
STATEJIEETINGS
Prospects Bright for Greatest
Live Stock Business in His
tory, Returning South
Siders Say.
The Omaha booster party, com
posed of South Side buiiness men,
returned Sunday from its annual trip
through Wyoming, Montana and Ida
ho, in the interests of the live stock
trade. The trip was the most success
ful one since the annual excursion
wai organized 30 years ago, according
to Carl Smith, traffic manager of the
Union Stock Yards company, who was
with the party.
Prospects for a big live stock year
and immense grain crops in the west
have never been better, Mr. Smith
said. The mild winter in that part of
the country was a boon to farmers
and stock raisers. Cattle lossses were
less than 1 per cent and the sheep
losses were negligible, though in one
or two sections of the countfy small
sheep losses from disease were re
ported. There has been plenty of
snow and rain and the soil is in splen
did condition.
, The annual meeting at Great Falls
of. the Montana Live Stock Growers'
association had the largesj attendance
in its history.
Point to Big Year.
"More cattle will be produced in
the west this year than ever before,
and prospects point to the biggest
year m the history of the trade," Mr.
Smith said.
The party met with a fine recep
tion everywhere. In Cheyenne a ban
quet was given, attended by the
mayor and a large delegation ot citi
zens. A dance and theater party were
given in their honor at Shoshone.
Those in the party were: C. S. Tal
bott, John Rubb, George Christopher,
Clarence Owen, O. A;' Mallorv, V. B.

Alleged Auto Thief, Arrested
10 Times in Year, is Captured

ing street, The men gave their names
and addresses as Frank Sirian, 1039

Concert at Blackstone Hotel
Affords Musical Enjoyment
An afterifoon of musical enjoy
ment was given in the ballroom of
the Blackstone Hotel, Monday after
noon, by Miss Ursula Dietrich, New
York composer and pianist; Mrs.
Florence Basler Palmer, soprano,
and Miss Isabelle Radman, violinist.
Throughout the program assistance
and support was given by the Arta
pollo, an invention that has been one
of most interesting developments of
recent yean.
Miss Dietrich, a pianist of distinc
tion, played with particular brilliancy
and sureness, alternating her work
with that of the Artapollo.
In the 'Cantilene Nuptialc" of
Dubois, played by Miss Dietrich, the
lights suddenly went out for a mo
ment, and wlien't they were turned
on again, tlntigh she had disappeared,
the melody went on without break.
The record used was one made from
Miss Dietri. li's own playing and it
was impossible to tell the difference
between the two. In other selec
tions Miss D'etrich played alternate
ly with the Artapollo.
Mrs. Palmer's charming voice was
heard in the brilliant song "My
Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" of Saint
Saens. She likewise sang "I Love
You Truly" and "A Perfect Day"
of Carrie Jacobs Bond.
Miss Isabdle Radman's technique
and tone weie disclosed by the bril
liant "Hejre Kati" of Hubay, and the
beautiful "Souvenir" of Drdla.
All of these selections were en
riched by the Artapollo playing the
accompaniments upon the piano. The
program closed with a rendition of
"The Star Spangled Banner," by Miss
Dietrich, Miss Radman, Mrs. Palmer
and the Artapollo.
The concert will be repeated this
afternoon and evening at 3 and 8:30
o'clock.

greas, needs three barrels of whis
ky for medical purposes.
Sally explained her distress to a
Bee reporter: "You see, Miss, I'se
got rheumatics. Lordy, how I
suffer," she declared, "and I think
a little liquor would cure me. You
know it's a magnificent healthifier;
so when I learned that they were
going to auction off three barrels
of whisky here in the federal build
ing, I got busy and come right
down to put in my bid."
In answer to the query, "Will it
take three barrels of whisky to
cure you?" Sally smiled slyly and
explained:
"I recken it will, miss. You see
I've taken more than that already
before prehabitation came in, of
course and I'm a long way -from
being cured yet."
L. S. Mole, information clerk at
.the postoffice, has been busy an

MANY HUNS SLAIN
IN VAIN EFFORT TO
PIERCE U. S. FRONT
(Continned From Faa One.)
opened during the course of the night
and lasted until 5 o'clock in the
morning. At that hour the enemy in
fantry dashed forward, preceded by
storm troops, which had been brought
to the scene especially for the attack,
after preliminary training on ground
similar to the sector held by the
American troops.
"The assault was over a line 2.000
yards in length and at several places
the enemy succeeded in entering the
American lines. They even entered
and occupied Seicheprey, where the
Americans holding that position of
fered the most stubborn defense.
Germans Driven Back.
Without a moment's delay, after
their retirement at Seicheprey, the
Americans organized with the French
a counter attack, which was carried
out brilliantly, driving the Germans
out of the village and taking a num
ber of prisoners. , The fighting did. not
cease until late in the afternoon..
In this vicinity many prisoners fell
into the hands of the allies, while the
barbed wire and shell-pitted ground
was covered with German corpses.
Americans' Spirit High.
"Tell them back home that we are
just beginning," said an American lad
who was in the thick of the fight and
severely wounded with shrapnel. "It
was fine to see our men go at the
Huns. All of us who thought base
ball was the great American game
have changed our minds. There is
only one game to keep the American
flag flying that is kill the Huns. I
got several before they got me."
The other men in the hospital were
of the same spirit.
Second Raid Repulsed.
The enemy made another attempt
at a line occupied by the American
troops on the right bank of the
Meuse soon after the attack near
Seicheprey. Sixty of the enemy
started a raid, but was repulsed by a
heavy fire. Some of the Germans
reached the American entanglements
and were left dead hanging to the
wire, but the enemy carried off all
his wounded.
An American raid against the en
emy line nearby was carried out about
the same time, and one of the raiding
forces was brought back dead and
one wounded.
Reports coming in today relative to
the fight in the Toul sector show that
the losses sustained were no larger
htan could reasonably be expected
from such an engagement, which was
the most severe of any in which
American troops have taken part.
The losses of the enemy on the other
hand were much greater than he had
expected, as is evidenced by more
than 300 dead Germans in the Ameri
can trenches and in No Man's Land.
His losses in wounded are unknown,
as disabled men were dragged back
to the German trench.
"Our troops were overwhelmed by
a superiority of numbers, but fought
to a finish," was the official character
ization by a field commander of the
American troops who successfully re
pulsed an enemy onslaught in the
Toul sector in his report to headquar
ters. Details of the engagement which
the correspondent pieced together
from interviews with officers and men
who participated in the battle show
that the Americans stuck to their
guns while the Germans were plac
ing liquid fire, gas and almost every
otherconceivable device of frightful
ness on them.
German Account.
Amsterdam, April 22. A telegram
to the Wolff bureau, the semi-official
German news agency, on Sunday
stated that the attack against the
American positions on both sides of
Seicheprey. thanks to careful prepara
tion and tne cooperation of all arms,
was a comolete success. The tele
gram says:
"After an effective artillery prep
aration which caused severe enemy
losses the Germans stormed Ameri
can positions over a front of two and
a half kilometers and penetrated to
a depth of two kilometers. -
Seicheprey was taken by storm
and was found full of American dead.
Bitter h.nd to hand fightmg ensued
around dugouts, vantage points vand
cellars whoe occupants were killed
almost to tne last man.
"Severe hand to hand fighting also
occurred about the dugouts in Ren-
neres wood Here ' the American
casualties were especially heavy.
"Dense columns of enemy rein
forcements were discovered north of
Beaumont and also beyond Berno
Court and were badly mauled by
our destructive fire. Further back,
the German airmen loca'ed enemy
reserves filling up the trenches in
Jury wood and attacked them with
machine guns while our batteries
worked feanul havoc in the closely
filled trenches.
"After dark when tha enemy's, de
fense works and dugouts had been de
stroyed and blown up, we evacuated
the position according to our plans
and unobsc.ved by the enemy. Our
losses were slight while those of
the untrained Americans were most
severe. We captured five officers,
one doctor nd 178 men as well as
25 machine guns."
Dr. Bohn Addresses .
Great Crowd at Blair

hours.
He declared the best hope was to

to believe that the United States is
not in the war to exterminate Out
German people, but to help them
realize their condition.
