PERSHING'S TROOPS GOING i INTO ACTION JULES AND MILES OF SAMMIES 3I0VLNG TO HELP FRENCH AND BRITISH TIGHT SOOH WILL BE IN THE FIGHT Going in Motor Truck Trains and on Foot Infantry in Mud to Knees of Men Paris, March 31. "The French government has decided to accede to the desire expressed by General Per fhins. iiN the name of the United States government" says an official note issued today dealing with the operation of American troops with the French and British. "The American troops .will fight tid? by side with the British and French troops, and the Star Span sled Banner will float beside the French and English flags on the plains of Picartly." With the American Army in France. March 31. All the Ameri can troops have been turned over to the allies. American troops will soon be fishting side by side with the French and British iu the battle raging in northern France. Croat activity of many sorts is under way in the whole American zone. Trains of molor trucks miles Ion?, loaded with Americans, are passing through the towns. On other roads, mile after mile of marching Ameri cans are on the move. Some of the motor trucks are go ing in one direction, some in anoth er. Through a driving rain the mo tor trucks plowed their way along ir.iuldy roads, the Americans sing in?. Many of the trucks had the American flag fastened to their tail boards. The infantry splashed through the mud, which came over their an gles. More than 100,000 Americans, ia tensively trained and fully accoutred nre available for immediate use in Menuuiug the tide of the German hordes. Great activity continued Sunday throughout the zone where the American troops are quartered. Sing on Way to Battle It began at 4 o'clock this morn- irg when heavily loaded motor cam ions began rumbling through the streets and over the roads, which by noon were crowded with camions, both motor and horse-drawn, ma chine guns, men, horses and artil lery. As oil Saturday, there was a great li.tiveiuent of troops. The Americans j: losing were cheered by others who tooil along the roads watching the virtually endless procession. Out on the open roads the. men in the camions sang everything from the Battle Hymn of the Republic to Tipperary. They exhibited the greatest enthusiasm for the work they have in hand and seemed to be anxious to get it started. Frequently during the day heavy motor trucks skidded from the mud dy roads into ditches, . but they were quickly and literally picked up by as many Americans as could get a band on them, set back on the road and started again toward their des tination. A little thing like lifting ll,e end of a five-ton truck from a liiieli means nothing to Americans v. no ;tc in a hurry to get into the Jlevs Thrill the United States Washington, March 31 The fore go; ag announcement that Ameri can soldiers actually are on their vay to the fighting lines to take places beside their hard pressed British and French allies sent a thrill through the national capital. It was the first positive statement that General Pershing's forces ac tually re on their way to the bat tle lines to help stem the tide of ihe German drive. The American, soldiers previously referred to in the" official dispatches as being in the fighting are believed to have been engineers or othr aux iliary troops which probably were caught at their work as they were : few months ago at Cambral, when the Germans suddenly enveloped parties of British forces behind their lines in a swift f-irring movement. 1C0.000 Amnions Available. . '; : .- e nding of General Berthing's fgl-.t troops to places 0:1 the Brit i i: ch line has been expected 1 military experts to follow ' the creation of a united command under the French chief of staff. General Foch, and General Pershing's for mal offer of all the available Amer ican resources. . ... TbcfJi&ijQji may not be said about the number and position of the American troops, because of military reasons. It is no violation of the censor ship, however, to -say that more than 100,000 American fighting men, ful ly equipped and intensely trained in the school of actual battle condi tions are available at once to be thrown into places to strengthen the British and French lines wherever they threaten to buckle under the unheard of ferocity of the German onslaught. It is also no violation of censor ship to say that the American gov ernment fully realizes that the sec ond battle of the Somme may con tinue for some time and that Amer ican forces possibly might be the means of tipping the scale. MASHED FINGER THIS MORNING. From Monday's Daily. This morning while engaged in hauling sand for the paving, driving a team for M. E. Manspeaker, O. L.

Charles Hart ford was near the top but did not succeed in claiming the honor or the first prize.

FORTY YEARS WITH THE "Q" From Monday's Daily. Robert II. Patton, was born in Bloomington, Illinois, June 26. 1861, Just after the civil war had started, and lived there until he was fourteen years of age, when be came to Platts mouth, here he went to school,, un til he was near eighteen years . of age. In the early spring of 1879, March 29th, he entered the Burling ton shops as an apprentice painter, and soon with rapid strides, made his way to the top of the profession, and with -last Thursday completed just forty years of service with the coun try, and is now employed at the same place, doing none but the best of work all the time. Ills ambition being to do the best work possible, which has always kept him in a good position and at good pay. Mr. Pat ton not alone has made a good work man -butpjpjSGttjtli best of citizens. and.)rajiOwu;up around him a fam-, lly. whicTi' ia'a credit to the city iu which they live. .

To All County Federal Food Admin istrators, Gentlemen: V . Requisitioning Wheat. I just received an important tele gram from Mr. Hoover this morning as follows: "There are some known pro-German farmers hoarding their wheat out of a desire to obstruct the gov ernment. I think it desirable, wher ever possible, to make an example of these cases by direct action. Wher ever you can yourself, or through your County Administrators, learn of such instances direct a letter in structing such, offending parties to bring their grain to the nearest ele vator within a certain short period. If they fail to respond, you will re quisition the wheat. Where requisi tioning is done, do so on price basis of local elvator, less enough to pay necessary charges for transportation from farm to elevator x x x x x It is our impression that you will not have to requisition very often, but will get sufficient response from direct order to bring grain in. Hoover." Will you advise us of any farmers wilfully and maliciously holding a material excess of wheat, that we may deal with them direct from this office? It is important in' reporting these cases that you have absolute facts, giving the amount of wheat, name of party, address and attend ant circumstances." We cannot act upon rumors and must avoid error. If the quantity of excess wheat is very small, requisition will not be resorted to. We are inclined to feel that the appeal to market wheat, to gether with the conferred power, in case a party wilfully obstructs the Government program by withholding wheat, will bring in virtually all of the surplus. wheat held in Nebraska. Please advise us in detail of any cases where you have complete facts. Amended Bakintr Rules. After April 14th. all bakers baking "Victory" bread will be required to increase the amount of substitutes therein from 20 per cent to twenty five per cent.

Lincoln, Neb., April 1. Rudolph Schopke, Emerson," Neb., hanker, was tarred and feathered and driven through the streets of the town be cause of alleged pro-German sym pathies, according to information reaching Lincoln today. It.ialleged that he told Red Cross workers he owed the United States nothing and that they could go to hell as far as he was concerned. Schopke is said to he worth more than a half million dollars, but "sev eral weeks ago declined to buy a "Red Cross goat" for $15. When Schopke refused to sign a check for 5500 for war work, which was demanded by an angry mob of citizens Saturday evening, he was es corted to the edge of town and the coat of tar and feathers applied, it is reported. : Schopke located at Emerson 35 years ago and had just half a dollar in his pocket, it is said. He is said to be an alien enemy. The incident was related to the State Council of Defense bv a citizen of Emerson. WILL HOLD ENTERTAIN MENT FOR RED CROSS from Monday's Jailv.

THE NEW TIME From Monday's lai!y. In accordance with pre-arranged plans, nil business, social and other activity is now being governed by the new "daylight -saving" schedule of time, which brings us to arising, eating our meals, going to work and quitting work one hour earlier, al though the hands on the clocks will continue to designate the same hours as in the past. The probable largest singe thing attained by the change is an additional hour of daylight gained, and it. is believed this time will lie used profitably by everyone. to the end of cultivating gardens or engaging in otherwisely useful vca tions. The new schedule came into existence early Sunday morning. without any hitches whatever and already things are settled down to running just like clockwork. Ex pressions of approval of the change are evident on nearly every hand. although now and, then tme does find a man or woman who disapprove of the elTort .being .made to conserve in this time of shortage when our nation faces a peril.'. - One man said it is as easy to con form to the new schedule as the old, and he hoped it would become a yearly affair through the summer months.

The hunters of this city and vicin ity, have been ldofcJng'WithT longing; eyes over the river every nice! morn ing and especially on Sunday morn ings when they could get away. They have been thinking how they would like to get out and see how the fes tive duck would get away if he could, but have been deterred from, entering into the .'sport. I Yesterday a deputy game warden arrived here and dressing as a hunter mingled with the reeds and rushes, finding 2 young men Will and Jess Basfius oil the river, and stayed around appar ently waiting for a shot", until he" had gotten the evidence, and then made himself known and notified them to appear at 'the office of the county judge this morning. ; ' He asked for their license and on being informed they had none, he had them arrest ed, andUhis morning were assessed twenty dollars and eighty cents each. They had shot 3 ducks. This made the fowls cost pretty high. This fine was only by the state, the evidence being kept .for the government, " RETURNED FROM THE WEST. From Monday's Daily.
