grades say that they intend to show
the people of Murray what a real
meal is like, and have asked the
library for Saturday evening. May
17th. to demonstrate their ability.
They will serve supper at the usual
hour. This is certainly a very kind

good patronage and a neat sum from

advanced age she cannot stand an
operation for the injury, in which

VICTORY BONDS PAVING A VERI
TABLE HIGHWAY ACROSS
THE ATLANTIC.
ARE COMING OVER EVERY DAY
Eight Cass County Young Men Al
ready Have or Soon Will Ar
rive Home Again.
From Monday's Dally.
That Victory bonds are paving a
veritable road of return across the
Atlantic ocean, over which our boys
are rapidly coming back to us, is
best demonstrated by noting daily
transport landing schedules and the
names of the hoys comprising this
or that unit "Just arrived." And
how vastly better these names look
to us in such a report than they
would have six months ago in one of
the lengthy casualty reports. If there
is a better argument for the buying
of Victory bonds than this we don't
know what it can be. Perhaps the
greatest asset in America today is
the millions of young men being re
turned to civil life pursuits after an
army experience that has made them
eminently better qualified to "carry
on" than ever before.
On last Friday evening, Albert
Kearns. who has been in France for
many months, as a member of the
former "Dandy Sixth," organized in
1917 and later shattered to pieces as
its members were transferred to oth
er organization to fill up overseas as
signments, returned to his home in
this city. During his absence Mr.
Kearns saw a good deal of hard ser
vice while he was away and it was
not until his arrival home that he
learned the whereabouts of his
brother. George, whom he was de
lighted to find had returned a short
time before. Albert is looking well
and feeling fine as a result of his ex
perience in Uncle Sam's army.
Arthur Sampson is another of the
Cass county boys to arrive home, he
having reached here Saturday even
ing after receiving his discharge at
Camp Dodge a couple of days before.
He was visiting with friends and rel
atives here yesterday, being a guest
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Ed
Beins and an aunt, Mrs. G. G. .Ma
son. Like Mr. Kearns, Arthur went
to Camp Cody with the Dandj Sixth,
and after many months of training
they finally got across. They arriv
ed in America on the return trip
April 24th.
Mr. Sampson tells us that just be
fore the time of sailing he saw F.
H. Smith, a former Journal reporter
and who is now employed as a clerk
in the office having charge of the de
barkation of troops. He said Mr.
Smith was loking fine and apparent
ly in the best of spirits.
Both bojB evinced a great deal of
satisfaction at getting back ' home
again, although in the splitting up
of the divisions, regiments and com
panies, they were separated from the
outfit with which they had seen ser
vice and the fellows they had come
to know so well. They say that
France, although a very good coun
try is strange in her ways, and Eng
land, although a much better coun
try does not come up to the high
standard of America. No one can at
test the fact more knowingly than
our returning soldiers, that there is
no place like America in the whole
world.
Ellery Vroman, who has been a
sailor on Uie U. S. S. Charleston,
was discharged from the service at
New York a few days since, arriving
home last Friday. He is looking
good and feeling fine. He left a
lucreative position in the U. P. head
quarters at Omaha to serve his
country, which he did well and
faithfully. He now returns to take
up civil life pursuits once more, be
ing glad the war is over and at the
opportunity of getting home again.
He is an excellent young man and
one well qualified to make his way
anywhere.
In the papers of yesterday, are
the names of five Plattsmouth and
Cass county boys who arrived at
New York Saturday from overseas.
The two from Plattsmouth are Rob
ert C. Kushinsky and Frank Kin
namon. they both having been over
nearly a year. The other three are
John M. Hobson of Weeping Water,
James T. Hamilton of Union and
Charles G. Stack, of Nehawka. All

DANIELS COMMENDS
CREW OF DESTROYER
SHAW FOR COURAGE
Washington, May 5. Secretary
Daniels has commended 17 members
of the crew of the destroyer Shaw
for their courage and devotion to
duty at the time of the collision be
tween their vessel and the Cunrad
liner Acquitania last October 9, near
the English coast. Two officers and
10 men lost their lives in the acci
dent. The Shaw was convoying the Ac
quitania, and was zig-zagging. as
usual,' when its steering gear be
came disabled. Had it followed its
course it probably would have ram
med and sunk the Acquitania. Its
commanding officer ordered full
speed astern and thus so changed
the Shaw's course as to bring it
under the how of the huge troop
ship.
Ninety feet of the Shaw's bow
was carried away in the collision,
but in spite of this, picked men of
the crew got the -vessel to port with
out assistance, but not until the
men repeatedly, faced death in
fighting the ship's magazine.
Led by the destroyer Kimberly,
the Shaw made Portland, England,

GERMANY DENIES PLAN
TO CREATE ANY DISCORD
BETWEEN THE ALLIES
Berlin, May 5. Count von Brock
dorff Rantzau, chairman of the Ger
man peace delegation, in an inter
view with the Versailles correspond
ent of the Tageblatt, denies that he
hoped to cause differences between
the allies. The count is quoted as
saying: .
"I consider such speculation bad
policy, because it is .both foolish
and dishonorable. It is economic
more than political questions that
hold our opponents so firmly to
gether, and it is hardly conceivable
that they can be separated."
A dispatch to the VoTwaorts from
Versailles says that the German del
egation protested against the -rectum
of the wire fence around their
residence, in which the Vorwaert
says the Germans are kept "like
dangerous animals."
