rn BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1918. SUNS SQUEAL IN BAYONET EIGHT SAYS OMAHA BOY S. B. Yule After Six Months in Trenches With French Army is Invalided Home; Wants to Enlist. S. B. Yule, 21-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Yule of Lincoln, who has see six months' service with the French army, is in Omaha. The young soldier enlisted in the .French army in June, 1917, at a French recruiting station in Chicago. He went overseas and after 10 days training in France, was put to work driving an ammunition wagon. He wanted to drive an ambulance but the French explained that, although they had plenty of ambulance drivers they were up against it for men for am munition trains. He served in the American field base. It is a unit com posed of American volunteers. "Thrills?" Yule repeated with a "huckle when he was asked about his experiences, "Yes, I had scores of them. None of the Boche shells had my number but some of them came pretty close. We made most of our trips after dark and we drove right '.ip to the trenches." Squeal Like Rats. ' The Germans squeal like rats when they make a bayonet attack, says Yule, but the Americans and French ind English don't squeal they grunt. Yule was discharged because of general debility. After months' of hard labor near tiie battle line his health broke down and he was taken to a French hospital at Biette where, he says, he was given the best of treatment. When he recovered he was invalided home. The young fellow was made a cor poral .while he was in the service of the French. He is a soldier and longs to get back to the firing line. He tried to enlist in the United States army Monday, but, because he regis tered in the draft June 5, he is not tligible for enlistment. At present he is employed at the Armour Packing company, South Side. He is a graduate of the Lincoln high school and attended the state university prior to his enlistment. He is a member of the Beta Theta Phi fraternity . i San Francisco Mayor Will Be Candidate for Governor San Francisco, July 15.

The mayor's announcement makes seven candiates for the gover norship. The primary election will ; be held August 27. President Wilson Signs H Bill for Wire Control Washington, July 16. President Wilson today signed the wire control resolution, empowering him to take over and operate for the period of the war all telegraph, telephone, cable and radio lines. " Senator Hoagland Joins Higgins Packing Company Former State Senatc-r Walter V. Hoagland of North Platte,' a large land owner in the western cattle country, has become interested in the new independent packing plant of the Higgins Packing company, and has just been elected director and vice president. As to crop conditions, the senator has this to say: "We are at present enjoying one of the most prosperous seasons we ever had. While western Nebraska has always been recognized for its thrift in the small grain and cattle industry, this year is a most ex ceptional one, and going to be a rec ord breaker. If the balance, of the state does as well as the western part. Nebraska will enjoy the greatest pros perity ever known in this state. We, being in a cattle growing country, are much interested in the movements of Omaha people in getting better pack ing house facilities, which not only means more money for the stock pro ducers of the state, but greater pros perity for the city of Omaha." Mr. Brown is stopping at the Pax ton. Is -a "Medium" a "Fortune Teller?" Puzzles Police Judge The case of Ella Liverpool, other wise known as "madame," charged with conducting a tortune telling par lor without a license, was heard by Judge Fitzgerald in police court Tues day and was taken under advisement. The particular question to be solved is whether a "first class" medium, as madame admits that she is, is a fortune teller or not. The only wit ness declared that her fortune had been told by madame, who just looked at her. From the blushes of the wit ness there seemed strong reasons to believe that the "fortune" pleased her. Her main complaint, however, was not against the madame, but against a colored man whom she suspected of having pilfered some of her jewelry while she was receiving the informa tion from the spirit land. Government Labor Bureau Can Supply More Men Work Responding to a government call, the free co-operative employment bureau of maha will send sixteen machinists, boilermakers and copper smiths to the shipyards at San Fran cisco Saturday. The following week another shipment of thirty-two will be sent from the Lincoln office to the Seattle shipyards. "We have more calls than re can supply for men in practically all lines of work," said George J. Kleffner, manager of the bureau. "This is true both in the men's and women's departments." Harvest is over in this section, and the bureau is sending the hands that were sent in here to take care of this work on to South Dakota, where the wheat harvest is just beginning. Judge Dispenses Justice In Two Dozen Traffic Cases One of the most heinous crimes which finds its way into the police court these days, replacing the old standby of preprohibition ' times, is the infraction of the traffic ordinances. Judge Fitzgerald handled two or three dozen such cases Tuesday morning. He dispensed an even handed justice, either discharging with a word of warning Jr imposing small fines on those who frankly and smilingly confessed to the possession of cars that could go 30 miles an hour, and plastering somewhat heav ier fines on those who protested that their Old boats rnnlH tint nnocihlir make more than 12 miles under the most tavorable circumstances. Harry Sigwart in Italy With Railway Contingent Sergeant Sigwart of the police de partment has received word from his son, Harry, who is with the railroad contingent in oversea service. The young man has been transferred to Italy, where he, with other members of the contingent, are reconstructing and building railroads back of the fighting lines. He was in France un til a little more than a month ago. Young Sigwart had lived in Omaha all his life. He enlisted about a year ago and almost immediately there after was sent overseas. Medal for Heroism Washington. July 16. Awarr of a gold medal to Commander Henry C. Mustin, United States navy, for hero ism in saving the life of Fireman H. L. Legette on January '15 last, was announced today by Secretary Daniels. Supply House to Still Be on a Credit Basis The recent announcement of the j automobile men regarding various measures adopted to put the automo bile business on a war time basis has caused more or less confusion in re gard to its application to the supply houses. According to C. G. Powell the sup ply houses will still continue to do credit business. The main aim of the recent measures adopted by the automobile dealers is to eliminate ' minor service work which can be done by owners if they will try to help themselves. Every minor bit of service work done by owners will re lease mechanics for war work and I necessary skilled repair work on ; cars. ; The cash basis will do away with ! the owners who continually drive in 1 for advice and unimportant tinkering , which thev can do themselves. ! x;i!iillil!iilirtiil!iffl!
