Many Nebraskans
Are on Warships of
Uncle Sam's Navy
A recent report of the navy shows that
more than 1,000 sailors In the navy come
from Nebraska, and It is estimated that
nearly one-fourth of this number are
from Omaba homes.
All morning Inquiries by telephone from
anxloub parents and relatives In the city
kept the recruiting officers busy. Par
ticularly anxious were those parent who
had not heard from their sons for sev
eral monthe.
Besides these there are some 300 ex-
servlco men In Omaha, and a number of
these have shown a keen Interest In tho
Mexican situation. If war should be de
clared against Mexico these men probably
wilt be the first to enlist for service, and
it is probable that most of them would
go Into their old rating at the start.
Former service men would be given
the preference In enlistment, and It Is
likely that minor physical defects would
be overlooked in taking them back Into
the service, for In time of war the de
mand for trained and experienced men
Is foremost.

Sutton Condemns
Policy of Bryan
and the President
That the shortsighted policy adopted by
President Wilson nnd Secretary Bryan
with regard to the Mexican situation has
enabled Huerta to save his faoo before
the world and secure a reputation as a
national hero at home by defying the
United States, is tho view taken by Dis
trict Judge Sutton.
"Huerta In a few weeks more would
have been a beaten and discredited man,"
declared the Judge. "Now ho can retire
under pressure from this country and
acquire a reputation as a hero.
"Wilson and Bryan, having found that
their watchful waiting policy was a
failure, merely seized upon tho Incident
of the marines' arrest to force an Issue
and show they were, not afraid. After
having endured silently the murders of
American citizens thoy cortalnly might
have refused to allow a trivial happening
to be turned to Huerta's ndvantage."
A demurrer to the mandamus suit
brought by the Board of County Com
mlssloners to compel Robert Smith, elerk
of the district court, to account for 13,500
naturalization fees retained by him, has
been filed by Smith, an alternative writ
granted by the court having been return
able today.
