Mother Hopes ■“Enoch Arden” I Will Return Son Disappeared Three Years Ago and Parents Still Keep Vigil, Dreaming of Return. A dream. In which their lost son, Edward Emil, appeared to. them causes Mr. and Mrs. Edward Macek, 1018 South Fifty-second street, to believe that he will return home in the fleBh soon. Yesterday, at the Thanksgiving board where their other four sons, John, Will, Elmer and George and their wives and children sit down, there was a place set for Edward Emil. "He might come in. Who knows! Stranger things have happened,” muses his mother in whose eyes is the age-old mother-longing for the son who Is gone, the son whom she vemembces as a babe in her arms, as a youngster prattling at her knee and now In the full vigor of manhood. "My husband dreamed of our boy just the other night," she said Thurs day morning. "In the dream he saw’ Edward distinctly. He saw him here at home. Our dear boy was much thin ner and had aged. It was as though he has had a hard time of it since he left us three years ago toddy. "I saw hiw. too, in a dream some time ago. And I have never ceased to hope for his return, especially at Thanksg.ving and Christmas time. Be fore he jvas married he was home so much. My other sons come to see me often, but I miss Edward.” Edward, a printer and embosser, a tall young man of 25 with brown hair and blue eyes, left home to go to the grocery just three years ago. He had been married three years. He called to his little son and naked if he wanted to go with him. The boy, occupied with his play, said he didn't. The father walked out of the yard and never returned. Not a word has been heard from him. If Edward returns he will find that his wife remarried two years after his departure. She is now Mrs. Bert Breen. She has give up hope of ever seeing him again. But his mother will never cease to hope and pray. For that is the way with mothers.

We're always busy here at the Czecho-Slovaklan consulate," said Stanley Serpen, consul, "When we're not taking care of our people I'm doing this,” .-fid he pointed to a copy of his report on his recent trip to Europe, which he was In the act of duplicating for the benefit of some other consulate. It was a rather young appearing man with intelligent blue eyes and soft brown hair who wheeled In his office chair to face his interviewer in room 201 National building. He is pleasantly business like and Ameri can, but with a touch of finesse which reminded one of the European intelligentsia. Mr. Serpan was born in Bohemia and came to America when he was 12. After an education in Omaha schools he entered the employ of the Na tional Printing company, for whom he worked 18 years. He was secre tary of John Rosicky, founder of the company, for the five years prior to his death In 1910. Soon after he ac cepted the position of consul. "I have been here 23 years altogether," he declared. Among other activities the consul ate, which is maintained by the Czecho-Slovaklan government, cares for 15,000 Omahans of that national ity. both naturalized Americans and aliens. Soldiers who were recruited for the Czerho-Slovak army during the war and returned disabled are awarded allowances. Widows of those .who failed to return are also sup ported through pensions. Through the consulate passports are Issued to Czecho slovak citizens, and passports are vised for citizens of the United States to travel Jo the Czecho-Slovakinn republic. Business and commercial Information is fur nished, certified translations made of or Into Czecho-Slovaklan, German, i in mm i , ; St^xU'j Setp&ii, English or other languages, und legal matters are looked after. According to Mr. Kerpan, he found In his trip to Europe that Czecho slovakia is ns prosperous as could be expected under prevailing conditions. "But there are too many people for such prosperity as one finds here," he said. "Th« country is 40 per cent agricultural, 40 per cent Industrial, and 20 per cent follow the professions or engage in business. "The people are still complaining. Conditions will he greatly Improved when Russ a, the Balkans and other customers for Its export trade become settled. In some of the glass fac tories I was told that American trade was all that kept them going. f "Otherwise, conditions are as near normal as could be expected In a land of 13.000.000 Inhabitants with less land In an area slightly smaller than that of Nebraska. He added that the demand for Im migration to the United States Is not great, although the Czechoslovak quota could be twice filled.
