Omaha boys will no more see Cen tral Ave, except the three crews that are to be loaned to the Sity of (Bown) Angles. I heard that the telegraph office was flooded with messages back to this wonderful City of Omaha. Capt. Ralph Emmons, Lieut. A. B. Goode, Sgtw H. Shockley and “Buek” Private Hudgins were running over one another to get to the pretty girl that accepts he mess ages for ''Mr. Western Union.” If any of their friends in Omaha wish to write them, their address will be the St. Agnews Hotel, L.

There will be a lot of strange Bro thers in town from all over the United States and it is up to us Omaha ns to show them a good time. The only unmarried crew on the Union Pacific was “very unhappy.” to leave L. A. They are a keen looking bunch of boys, pardon me, I mean, men and boys. The Union Pacific is very proud to have back in its employee a great “Newspaper” man. He was fortunate enough (thru the caur tesy of “Aunt Diner”) to be able to cover the arrival of the delegates of the National Baptist Convention. Of course he met nothing but the ‘‘Big Shot” Baptist, L. K. Williams etc. I’m wondering if there weren’t any “little” baptist there. we extend our greatest sympa thy to our fellow worker Yates on thn loss of his wife upon his return to Atlanta. Mr. Willie Bell, very popular employee of the Union Pacific, is now on the San Fran ci-co Lounge Car. Along with Mr. Bell, went Victor Metoyer, Emil Banks, and Richard Cain. We wish these men very much success on their new jobs. Mr. Alfred Langle.y of Bellview Blvd., still seems to hold his honorary degree as Mayor of the South-ide. Mr. I^aagley is very popular and well known among the Union Pacific dining car employees. More power and success to aur Union president, Mr. Solon Bell.

Daily New York, Sept. 23 (C)—What is rare in the metropolis happened last Thursday when an editorial appeared in the New York Herald Tribune praising W. C. Handy for his achievements as a composer. The paper said: "Wnen Mr. Handy, composer ot •The St. Louis Blues,’ was study ing for tihe ministry many years ago he ran out of money and went to work on the levee so he could go on. But the songs he heard there so stirred his love of music and his talent for it that he for got one vocation and found an other in which he made himself heard around the world. “Hie ‘St. Louis Blues’ is one of those few compositions of the peso pie, by the people and for the peo ple that conquer the public and keep 16 conquered. It has subdued popular fickleness for many rea sons, chief of them, no doubt, be cause its source and inspiration are as real as Handy’s imperishoble as real as Handy’s imperishable ‘‘Is there a band or orchestra in the two hemispheres that has not played to wild applause, highbrow, lowbrow, man, woman and child giving in to Handy's masterpiece of the blue note? "The Spirit of St. Louis’ and ‘The St. Louis Blues’ have made America known and lik ed te an incalculable degree, and the city that gave wings to both has the sympathy of all Americans when its pride in Handy’s classic prompts it to honor with a plaque the composer—the musician of tal ent who, with a few cents in his jeans, scribbled on the back of a cigar box years ago a song of deep and universal appeal that neverthe less belongs first and last to Am erica, black, white and colored.” -o VISITORS IN GUIDE PLANT Mr. Otis Green, Omaha; Mrs. Bell Glover and Mrs. Jellie Jacks, Minneapolis, Minn.; and Mr. Albert Williams, jr., of Sioux City, la.

Although official quarters de clined to comment on reports from Rome that Anglo-Italian soundings had been made for British recogni. tion of the “legality” of the rape of Ethiopia, the belief gained ere. dence here that up to the minute, the Soviet diplomatic bombshell ex ploded, the British government had planned bo include the Ethiopian question on the agenda of the “pi racy” conference, called by Britain and France. European statesmen have known all along that the attacks, during the past six weeks, on the ships of various nations have been perpe trated by Italian submarines aid ing the Spanish fascist rebels. Foi various reasons, howev ■ -.they have been reluctant to call Mu sol ni’s hand: the French, be.ause they an still following Britian's lead in in ternational affairs, the British, be cause the Tory government favors i Fascist regime in Spain and is also seeking to efii t :n under standing with Rome th t would re. move the Italian threat to the. Britiih "life line” in the Mediter ranean. In exchange for such an understanding, the Tories are pre pared to recognize Italy’s ‘Ethio pian empire,” and to continue the “non-intervention” farce with re gard to Spain, despite Mussolini’s open admission that Italian troops are partcipating in rebel attacks on the Spanish government. Ethiopian Cause Gains The Soviet note overturned the British apple cart and so complete ly exposed Musolini that the Fas cist dictator refused to have any thing to do with the "piracy” con ference, thereby sparing the world the farcical spectacle of the pirate sitting in a conference called to discuss ways and means of ending his pira«y. Nazi German joined Italy in refusing to attend the con ference. With Fascist Italy pilloried be fore the world as the pirate nation responsible for present lawlessness and the breaking down of interna tional law in the Mediterranean, the British Tories have been forced to temporarily discard their pin: for a reapproachment with Italy at the expense of Ethiopia and Loyalist Spain. Alieady there is evidence that the British people are thoroughly arrows*'! and will op pee" any further dickering with a that is darNnatety attack •i.g 1 ritish shipping.
