LOSSES OF SHIPS ARE
SMALLEST IN 3 WEEKS
London, May 9. A substantial de
crease in the number of sinkings by
submarines in the last week will be
shown in the forthcoming weekly re
port of the shipping losses. In fact,
it is stated the report will show the
smallest losses in the last three weeks.
No reason for this is given out by
official sources, but it is plainly inti
mated that progress has been made
in the anti-submarine campaign. There
is no guarantee that the weekly losses
will not again assume portions, but
the fact that they have been substan
tially reduced is very encouraging to
those in charge of the campaign and
it is believed that the new measures
to combat the underwater craft are
already showing gratifying results..
AUTO DRIVERS SHOULD LOOK
AND LISTEN GROSSING TRACKS
Phone 53 and 54 Daylight Store
Lincoln, Neb., May 9. The Nebras
ka supreme court this afternoon hand
ed down an opinion of vital import
ance to automobile drivers in revers
ing the Harlan county court, which
had allowed Samuel Askey, adminis
trator, $5,000 damages for the killing
of Thomas Askey.
Askey and his brother were killed
,'at a Burlington crossing near Oxford
The high court says that although
no warning was sounded by the train
crew, it is up to an automobile driver
to look and listen when crossing a
railroad track. '
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
PLEDGE LOYALTY TO WILSON
Alliance, Neb., May 9. The thir
teenth annual convention of the Ne
braska State Council, Knights of Co
lumbus, met in Allianee today with
120 delegates in attendance.
After attending pontificial high
mass, the delegates were entertained

Bishop Tihen of Lincoln addressed a
large audience on "For God and
Country in Peace and In War."
Today the convention, through

members of the Knights of Columbus
of Nebraska.
The officers headed by Judge George
Corcoran as state deputy were re
elected, with P. F. Boland, Omaha,
and Luke Mundy, Fremont, delegates
to the national convention.
Grand Island was selected as the
meeting place for the 1918 convention.
Just received, a fine new line of
flags, stickers, etc., at the Journal
office.
THE FLAG.
Here comes The Flag.
Hail it!
Who dares drag
Or trail it?
Give it hurrahs,
Three for the stars
Three for the bars,
Uncover your head to it!
The soldiers who tread to it
Shout at sight of it,
The justice and right of it,
The unsullied white of it,
The blue and the red of it,
And tyranny's dread of it!
Here comes The Flag!
Cheer it!
Valley and crag shall hear it.
Fathers shall bless it,
Children caress it,
All shall maintain it,
No one shall stain it.
Cheers for the sailors that fought on
the wave for it,
Cheers for the sailors that always
were brave for it,
Tears for the men that went down
to the grave for it.
Here comes The Flag!

LODGE PROPERTY IS NOT
EXEMPT FROM TAXATION
Lincoln, Neb., May 9. Lodge prop
erty is not exempt from taxation in
Nebraska unless it is shown by af
firmative evidence that it is used ex
clusively for lodge purposes, the su
preme court held this afternoon in an
opinion handed down in an Otoe coun
ty case.
The Masonic lodge at Syracuse
owns a two-story building and equip
ment. It was listed for taxation in
1913 and the lodge paid under pro
test. Later it brought suit in the
district court to secure a refund and
the court held in favor of the lodge.
Evidence showed that only 50 cents
of the $5 annual dues were devoted
exclusively to charitable purposes.
The court says that since only part
of the dues went for strictly charit
able purposes, the case must be re
versed and remanded, with the lower
court instructed to find for the county.
NEBRASKA DEALERS MUST
REPLY TO BAD EGG CHARGE
Washington, D. C, May 9. Egg
dealers in Kansas, Nebraska, Okla
homa and Texas were ordered today
to appear before the department of
agriculture to answer to the charges
of shipping impure eggs in interstate
commerce.
The order was prompted by investi
gations made by the departments ex
perts last winter. The food and drugs
act classes bad eggs as adulterated
food.
A large assortment of all sizes of
American flags can be secured at the
Journal office. Call in and see them
before buying.
