II BACK FROM TRIP TO SUNNY SOUTHLAND MR. AND MRS. THOMAS WILES ARE HOME FROM MOST ENJOYABLE TRIP Prom Monday's Daily. Last Saturday evening, Thomas Wiles and wife returned from a trip extending over three weeks in Ar kansas, where they visited many im portant and interesting places. They went to Little Rock where they vis ited with their son. Lee Wiles, who is minister of the First Christian church of that city, for some two weeks, and with the car of Noren Wiles scouted over the surrounding country seeing many places of inter est. Among other places they visit ed Hot Springs, some sixty miles from Little Rock. Among the interesting sights noted were the peculiar build ings in the town, and the hotel at which there were hundreds taking baths and receiving treatment for almost every ailment under the sun. The country was interesting to Mr. and Mrs. Wiles, and the more so on account of the great difference of climate and in the nature of farm ing from that which prevails in good old Nebraska. The colored people do ail the work and farm with one mule cultivating more than any one other thing, cotton. Some corn and an enormous amount of vegetables are raised. Southern varieties, such as sweet potatoes and articles of that variety predominate. After having concluded their visit at Little Rock they returned north and visited at Fayetteville, which is located in the northwest part of the state, some thirty miles from the Ok lahoma line and about twice as far from the south line of Missouri. Their visit here was at the home of Mrs. Finch and family, she being a daughter of Mr. Wiles. The town of Fayetteville is most beautifully sit- uated on a bench above the White j river. Ther is a mountain , jusr. east of the city which bears the rep 1- tation of being the highest in the ! state of Arkansas. To the top of this mountain climbed Mr. and Mrs. Wiles. In order to ascend its steep slopes they had to first go down near the river and in some places the as cent was nearly perpendicular. Upon finally reaching the top they found table land nearly a mile in width and almost perfectly level whereupon all Are You a Home Owner? If not, change this condition. Territory along Burlington lines West affords many opportunities for the homebuilder and investor. Western Nebraska and Northeastern Colorado' excel in dairying, live, stock and grain raising. Non-resident owners linvp main- farms which thev are unable to develop. Well-located farms, $25 to $50 per acre, with burdensome than eastern rentals, bring independence to any mdus trious farmer. WYOMING Big Horn Basin irrigated lands near to beet sugar factories, oil refineries, coal mines and other natural resources which grow immense crops of wheat, oats, alfalfa, sugar beets and potatoes, from $50 up.

I'll give you charge for 1004 IBilflliS Mb j the products of more temperate cli mate were capable of being cultivat ed. At this altitude they were able to see into Oklahoma some thirty odd miles distant. One thing that seem ed peculiar to them was that there were wells with an abundance of water in them on the very top of this mountain, which were not more than 14 feet deep. The waterworks sup plying the city of Fayetteville are on the side of this mountain about half way up, and the storage of water there produces an enormous pressure in the city across the valley. Mr. and Mrs. Wiles were well pleased with their trip and think it a wonderful country. But they were glad to look again on old Plattsmouth and the faces of their life-long friends. A LITTLE ATTENTION TO YOUR CAR WILL SAVE YOU TROUBLE From Monday's Daily. Most of the people who are ow ners of cars seem to court trouble by their almost entire lack of care in the matter of their tail lights. They come to the city and park their car before dark and then when they are ready to go, get into the car and away they scoot, without ever taking into consideration the fact that their tail lights are not burn ing. The law requires that the lights be burning in the rear of the car as well as on the front. Chief of Po lice Barclay is kept busy chasing af ter car owners a good deal of the time in order to keep these matters adjusted. The owners of cars who are care less about this matter should take it as a matter of kindness on' the part of the police in calling their atten tion to the necessity of keeping the tail lights burning.

The L-49. the only Zeppelin to fall into the hands of the allies intact, struck its colors to the shot gun of a local workman named Boiteux. Lieutenant Lafargue, of the Crocodile Escadrille winged the Zeppelin, forcing it to land. About 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning Boiteux was walking in a field with a dog and gun when he heard the sound of motors. He looked up and saw the Zeppelin surround ed by airplanes which were pepper ing it. The monster was flying very slow and very low. Suddenly the bows dipped into a clump of trees and the airship came to a standstill, subsiding gently across a narrow ra vine in the bottom of which runs a brook. Fires Into Zep. "Immediately," said M. Boiteux, 'the 19 men of the crew clambered to the ground. The last to leave who I afterward found was the cap tain, lined' them up in good order and said something to them, prob ably his last instruction. He then fired a pistol into the envelope. "I at once grapsed that he intend ed to set fire to the Zeppelin and de termined to stop him at any cost. I was about 30 yards away frpm him. I loaded my gun with buck shot and shouted: "Stop that or I will do some shooting." "The threat was enough, the cap tain dropped his gun, threw up his hands and cried 'kamerad, kamerad. The men remained perfectly quiet covered by my gun until a crowd collected when they were put under a good guard. The captain seemed furious at his fate, but the men seemed enchanted with the adven ture." The L-49 has five motors of 259- horsepower each and four cars, the middle ones of which contain two of the engines and all the levers and instruments. The small balloon has a total capacity of 25,000 . cubic meters. The airship was able to make 50 or 55 miles an hour. ONCOMING FREIGHT DEMOL ISHES All AUTO AT UNION From Monday's Daily. Saturday morning while Robert Good and Gussie Pullen, were at tempting to cross the Missouri Pa cific tracks at Union, the engine of their automobile died when they had just gotten on the track, with the result that the car stopped as well. and while they were making prep arations to start the engine, a freight came along, striking the car as it stood on the track, completely de molishing the front portion ott the car, and scattering it along the track for considerable distance. The men were able to get clear of the wreckage, but not without Mr. Good getting scratched nip consider able. Mr. Pullen was more fortunate as he got away without a scratch. The , drivels of the car did not notice the train coming, and when attempting to cross, they were not aware of its approach. Neither did the railroad men know of the attempted cross ing of the automobile until it shot upon the track and stopped, and while the engineer did what he could to avert the collision, he was not able to prevent it. It is fortunate that neither man was killed outright, and that they escaped with as little injury as came to them. The damage to the car was complete. NO ONE TO CLAIM PROPERTY LEFT BY MURDOCH FARMER From Monday's Daily. Herman Teokoter, was a prosper ous farmer, unmarried, having eighty acres of land near Murdock, where he had it stocked well with good cattle, horses, hogs and poul try, besides having a nice crop of the varieties raised on a farm such as corn, oats, wheat, and other things, besides having other property on his farm. Something over a month since the man sickened and died at his home. lie has only two sisters, they living in Germany, and their country an alien enemy of the United States. There were no one a relative to file a petition for the appointment of an administrator. Now comes a creditor through his attorney C. S. Aldrich and asks the appointment of Henry Ileichman, as the administrator. The question which Is to puzzle the authorities is the disposition of the residue of the property after the payment of the indebtedness. It looks as though it could not go to alien enemy heirs, and there are no others to inherit, will it escheat to the state, or will t be confiscated by the general gov ernment. It has not been stated whether the man who died was a citizen of America or Germany, which would make another phase of the proposition. GO HAVE A LOOK!

Patterson, -2tfd BERLIN IS FAST BE GOFdfNG WEARY OF WAR'S EXISTENCE WELL FED, THROBBING LONDON GOES ON AS EVER. While Talk of Peace Bolsters Up Ger man Capital's Grim Determina tion, World's Metropolis Talks Only of Victory. London, Oct. 22. London and Berlin are today world war antipodes morally and physically poles apart, affording a fascinating comparative studj- for your correspondent, who is enjoying the privilege of being the only former Berlin correspondent to reach London since America's entry precipitated a hasty retreat from Germany. London today is the same old London. The world war metropolis has suffered virtually no change in comparison with Berlin's metamor phosis. Berlin is war weary. Lon don has not even begun to leel t!.e war. London Grumbles Good Naturedly. Underfed Berlin gamely grits its teeth the popular pastime of the rigidly iron rationed. Well fed Lon don grumbles good humoredly over self-imposed picayune privations in cident to voluntary rationing and enjoys the luxury of kicking over food which, to a veteran survivor of the real thing in food shortage, is both good and ample. To a reminiscent correspondent's Berlin palate, London is still exub erantly epicurean. Its food troubles are microscopic surface phenomena, as seen thourgh Berlin glasses. London has not begun to feel the cruel gaff of war as Berlin knows it. These are my first vivid impres sions on revisiting London after three years. Berlin's Pulse Grows Weaker. The roar of London has not ap preciably diminished in pitch or volume. contrasting significantly with the almost imperceptibly slow but continuous running down of the machinery cf life in Berlin. The great heart of Lonodn beats with its old wonted regularity; Ber lin's pulse in comparison is unde niably feebler, more irregular. After three years of war Berlin shows suggestive symptoms of moral as well as physical mal-nutrition. London's vitality is absolutely unimpaired. After Berlin, life seems to throb and pulse quite normally through The Evening Line-Up Both children and grown-ups, with coughs and colds, are all the better for a dose of Foley's Honey and Tar at bed time. It wards off croup, stops tickling ' throat, and hacking coughs, add makes an otherwise feverish, sleep less night of coughing and distress, a quiet and restful one. BROWNSVILLE. TEXAS. Mr. Ctins. Baker, writes : " My wiie would not think of urhiC any other coufih medicine, as Foley' Honey and Tar is certain to bring "quick relief. It is especially effective in cases of bad cougira. and we live it to our children and recommead it always as a safe remedy, for it contains no opiates." 1 . London's arteries. The thunder of ihe Strand and Picadilly is nerve racking after the restful quiet of Berlin. The continuous procession of juggernaut motor busses and real rubber tired taxicabs seem like a wild, impossible dream after the al most motor earless streets of Berlin from which even the humble horse drawn vehicles seem to be doomed to vanish. Shops full of food and clothing, purchasable without cards, add a finishing touch to London's normal it v. No Peace Talk In London. Even more important, by way of contrast, Berlin honestly harbors intense peace yearnings and does not care who knows it. I have heard not a ward of peace talk in London. Berlin's spirits are kept up by fre quent administration cf early peace hopes and is enthusiastic for a com promise peace of reconciliation and mutual good understanding. London is incurably deaf to the peace siren. While Berlin talks peace London is thinking war ind talking onl-- of a decisive, complete victory i3 a matter of coursiV TJerlln, stripped for what she honor, V- prove tit"! ii round, is strain!. tc throw h !a: runce of t v th into :h-; struggle, grimly determined to hold out. But there is no iron determi nation, no grim earnestness about London, and no need of it, for Lon don is far from the holding out stage. The real war is only beginning for London, still in the first flush of its strength, calmly, almost stolidly conscious of its trenmendous, un tapped reservoir of potential power and platitudinously confident that the knockout wallop can be admin istered to Germany, and nothing short of beating Germany is for the moment entertained. And while Berlin is- hoping againts hope that there will be no fourth war winter you feel that London regards the past as merely preliminary sparring and is settling down for two or three years more if necessary. America's Entry A New Worry. Berlin continues gamely to stand tip under the gruelling punishment of food and economic pressure com pared to. which London's air raids are pin pricks. But there is abso lutely no reason for any special dis play of gameness on London's part. It has not begun to know real hard ship, the incessant punishment as in flicted by the war on Berlin's bruis ed, battered body. And while Ber lin suffers sudden depressions and exaltations of spirit and attacks of nervousness over America's entry, which it gets over only by clinging to the fiction that America is bluff ing, London jogs along with no trace of tension or nervous break down, its morale buoyed up, if brac ing were needed, by the comfort ing knowledge that all America is mobilizing and means business. Berlin is worried by the unknown factor of America and is beginning to realize that time now is fighting against Germany, whose sole hope lies in ending the war before Amer ica's armies are ready for battle. London fcas already discounted Amer ica's entry as a decisive factor in the world war. The moral effect of America's entry is the vital out standing, all important difference be tween London and Berlin.

FALLS FROM TREE BREAK ING ARM AND SHOULDER Prom Monday's Daily. Yesterday while climbing in a tree, George Hraska, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hraska, fell from one of the limbs, breaking his arm and shoulder in such a way that Dr.' Flynn, who was called to attend the young man, recommended that he be taken to the hospital in Omaha, where he will be treated. With his parents and Dr. Flynn, the young man was taken to Omaha where ad justment of the injury will be made. ATTENDING SYNOD SESSION OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH From Monday's Dally. Rev. II. G. McCluskey, who is at tending the .Synod of Nebraska, which is in session in Omaha, came down yesterday and conducted the morning services at the Presbyter ian church, returning yesterday af ternoon to continue attendance at the meetings. He was accompanied by Mrs. McCluskey and they will re main until the close of the session a couple of days hence.
