Some little difficulty was en countered by the train crew of the I.cal freight Tuesday when the big engine became unruly and took a rot ion to lave the track. It was necessary to pet the wrecker from Omaha to pet the engine hack on the track, and a few hours delay in the schedule of the crew reaching their division was the result. W. P.

We trust that our readers will hear with us until we are again in a position to spend a portion of the day each week with them for the purpose of gather ing the news of that community.

MACK RE TURNS FROM FRANCE After Ten Months Sen-ice in U. S. Amy Wounded at Chatteau Thierry August 27th. From Wednesday's Daily. Yesterday Oscar Mack, who went into the service from here, being sent to Camp Funston with a large crowd of other Cass county boys, and who went from there to Camp Cody and then overseas, departing from New port News on July 2Juh, last year, arrived here and will visit in this :ity and at Weeping Water, going 'hen to his home in Nebraska City. He arrived in New York on the re turn trip March lfith. just ten days ago. Oscar was in the battle line but a short time, being wounded at 'hatteau Thierry on August 27th. Just four weeks and one day after ie sailed from this side. The wound is healed and appar ently his foot is in good condition, al 1 hough with long usage as in walk ing it soon hurts. He will return to Weeping Water tomorrow, but there U some one in Flattsmouth who has priority claims on his society. WHERE WE STAND We stand with Theodore Roose velt, who. in his last message to the Arierican people declared: "Any man who says he is an .American,' but something else also. j isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much j as it excludes any foreign flag of a (nation to which we are hostile. We ; have room for but one soul loyalty. and that is loyalty to the American people." TALKED WHILE THEY ATE YESTERDAY NOON Soard of Directors of Commercial Club Dined at the Wagner Ho tel Hospital Plans. Yesterday at iuM'ti the members of he board of directors of the Commer cial club met for their noon-day uiirh at the. Hotel Wagner, where hey boih ate to their heart's con ent and talked more than some of our relatives at a -.juilting. They be ran with the hospital matter and nded on the matter of telephone ser vice at the Burlington station, touch ng other points in their course. Relative to the first subject they iiscussed ways and means of get ing out to the towns which have losmtals and observing how they ecu red them and operate them suc essfolly. The matter of the city band came up' for considerable attention, but s the club has no funds which it :an appropriate, they concluded the et way would he to go after the natter of raising money outside of he club. They also concluded to extend a recommendation to the City "ouncil that they include in their year's budget appropriating a suffici ent amount to defray the expenses f the band. Another mutter coming up for con sideration was the telephone service it the Burlington station, where it often imnossible to get anyone on he line. This could happen easily enough, when the operator could be taking a train order, the agent and expressman at t lie train, and the as sistant agent and cashier at the ticket window. The conditions arc such as to make the kind of service some people would demand difficult o furnish. 3,000.000 PERSONS CHEER VIC TORIOUS HEROES WHO BROKE HINDENBURG LINE. New York, March 25. Victorious veterans, heroes of Flanders fields on which Prussian pride was broken. 26,000 men of the 27th division came back to Fifth avenue today for their triumphal review. To the thousands who offered all they have to give on liberty's altar the mil lions who stayed behind poured out the full measure of their pride. The national guardsmen of yesterday and the civilians of tomorrow sym bolized today the martial ideals of a red-blooded race. The multitude which alternately laughed and wept, cheered or stood silent as the procession passed knew that a grateful people never paid tribute to braver men or tocrusad ers more chivalrous than those citizen-soldiers who looked death in the face and smiled as they went "over the top" with a song on their lips to smash the Hihdenburg line r that barrier against which Europe's sturdiest troops had swept in vain. 2,000 Comrades Dead. There was n shadow on the hearts of the stalwart marching men save the memory of the 2.000 comrades they left sleeping "where poppies bloom." The clank of the hob-nailed shoes upon the pavement spelled an epic in American history. Never before had a full division of Yankee vet erans fresh from European service passed in review in an American city. "Fighting Jack" O'Ryan, who led the line, was the only major general of the National Guard who took his men to France and brought them back, still their commander. Never before on this continent, at least, had so many thousands cheered a military spectacle. Crowd Estimated at 3.000.C00. Even New York famed for its c rowds, never had mobilized so many men women and children along a single fctreet. To the city dwellers were added hundreds of thousands who had poured in from every corn er'of the state. Tens of thousands more had come from other states. The police estimated more than H. 000. 000 persons were packed into five miles of Fifth avenue in the sunshine of a perfect day. The side walks on both sides were choked with humanity and at every inter secting street the crowd bulged out east and west for a distance of a block. Every open space was packed with an immovable mass of human ity. Stretching along the east side of Central park, from one end to the other,, was a grandstand, 2i miles long. In it were some 60.000 rela tives of the Twenty-seventh. The other 15,000 seats were filled with wounded soldiers from the army hospitals, federal officials, governors of this and other states, members of the egiislature, mayors and official delegations from uptsate cities. HUGH LILLIE BURIED YESTERDAY About a week since Hugh Liliie, son of Albert Liliie of Cook, was in this city visiting at the home of his grandfather Justus Liliie and went to Murray, where he visited for a short time, and while there, was taken sick and hurried to his home at Cook, where after a sickness of but a short time, died. The re mains being shirpfd to Murray for burial. Hugh Liliie was about nineteen years of age and ordinarily a very stout young man. He with his par ents have been making their home near Cook for some time past. EGGS FOR SALE Pure bred Rhode Island Red eggs for sale. $1.50 for setting of 15, or $6.00 per hundred. Phone 251.
