Left to right: MYi. Charles Suddeth, Mn. Henry Lewis, Mrs. Mortjr Grares, Mrs. Tex Rirhards, all wives
of the motorcycle riders speeding on the Omaha track.
When the throbbing little pop-pop ma
chlnee, wlth thelh engines eputterlnf fu
riously, rtp around the rough board track
of the stadium speedway these fall days
In order to furnish Omaha the thrills
which accompany auch appalling speed,
a little group of four young women can
always be seen over by the riders' sheds
anxiously watching the machines com
plete each circle. They watch carefully,
their perceptive eyes taking In very
movement of the quivering machines,
their acute sense of hearing alert for the
even explosions. If a wheel swerves, they
see; If a cylinder misses, they hear. Noth
ing escapes their observation. For that
little group of four women constitutes the
wives of four of the motorcycle riders.
The four riders who are married are
Morty Graves, Henry Lewis. Charles
Suddeth and Tex Richards.
Mrs. Graves, Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Sud
deth and Mrs. Richards are always on
hand when their husbands are on the
track. At the match races they are there
and even at the trials when the riders
tune up they are present. Always opti
mistic and pulling for their husbands to
win, they are constantly fearful of a fa
tal accident. Every one of the riders has
taken a fall at soma time or other and
they know they will fall again, but they
live In hope that they will never suffer a
fatal accident.
Mrs. Suddeth waa present at the track
last Saturday when her husband broke
through the fence boards and fell from
his wheel. Bhe promptly fainted s bis
slight form was hurled over the track.
But ahe recovered almost Instantly and
not a word of complaint waa heard to
escape her lips. She has never asked
Charley to quit riding, but Just the same
she wishes he were engaged In some more
safe profession.
Mrs. Graves has often tried to make
Morty quit the game, but the speed bug
Is well entrenched In Morty'a system and
Morty ia loath to quit
All of the young women are familiar
with motorcycles and motorcycle racing
They can talk as Intelligently on engines
as can the most expert mechanic and
they can tell with acute approximation
the speed the machines are nrnklng
around the huge saucer. They can dis
cern engine trouble of any kind by the
popping of the exhaust and they can
nearly alway tell Just what that engine
trouble Is.
They have all seen their husbands fnl
and they all expect to see them fall
again. They are confident nothing will
occur when the riders are traveling apart,
but when two of them swing close to
gether each woman will admit that a
lump, which should behave itself, will
Jump high Into her throat and lodge there
until the danger la passed.

Prince Adelhert, third son of Emperor
William, -llod a few dayi ago In a hospital
at Urussels. My Informant was a Belgian
physician, himself Just out of Rruaselft
and arriving here in Ghrnt today. rr.
l,e.lle Page, personal surgeon to King
Alliert of Helgium. was ordered to hold an
autopsy in the presence of two German
doctors.
"It waa found that the prince had been
killed by a tlerman bullet.
"In other medical examinations, also, it
was found that officers of the emparor
had died from wounds caused by Gorman
bullets."
The Germans are making no main at
tack on Antwerp: that Is clear. At the
snme time. thoiiKh, there la strong evl
dense from Inside Brussels that some
thing 4s ex pec t J by the Germans there-
doctors, who hafe been' there since the
German oorupatlon. have been ordered
to leave. . Homo already have done so.
The tell me that all. the wounded, lr
resiwtlve of their condition (and some
died In moving), have been moved out of
tho city. The clearance was complete,
not partial, a has been the case when
only freshly wnundetl were expected.
The, atmosphere In the city has changed,
though Indescribably. M. Max. the bur
gomaster. Is again under arrest and every
one Is ordered to be In his house by 8 p.
m. t The movement of Gorman troops dur
ing the last four days has been enormous,
but the guard on the western roads has
been very much reduced, and several
nurses' tell me they passed out without
being challenged.
Beo readers are too Intelligent to over
look the opportunities In the "want ad"

LONDON. Sept. 29. The official
press bureau issued tonight a de
scriptive interview of the operations
in France of the British forces and
the French armies in immediate
touch with it, . communicated by an
eyewitness presented at the head
quarters of Field Marshal John
French. This account, which sup-
I plements that issued September 24
from general headquarters, follows:
"September, 25, 1914. For four
days there has been a comparative
lull all along our front. ; This has
been accompanied by a spell of fine
weather, though the nights are much
cooler. One cannot have everything. I
however, and one evil result of the
sunshine has been the release of flies,
which were torpid during the wet
days. , 1
Fresh Troops Believe.
"Advantage has neen taken of the
arrival of reinforcements to relieve
j by fresh troops the men who have
been on the firing line for some time.
Several units, therefore, have re
! cetved their baptism of fire, during
the week.
"Since the last letter left general
headquarters, evidence has been re
ceived which points to the fact that
during counter attacks on the night
of Sunday, September 20, the Ger
man Infantry fired into each other
as the result of an attempt to carry
out the dangerous expedient of a con
rerglng advance in the dark..
"Opposite one portion f our position i
considerable massing of hostile forces was
observed before dark, and some hours
later a furious fuvslllade was beard In
front of our line, though no bullets came
over our trenches."
Confined to Artillery.
This narrative begins with Septem
ber 11 and covers only two days. "On
Monday, September II. there was but lit
tle ralu and I be weather ! took turn
for the belter, which has been main
tained. The action was practically con
fined to the artillery, our guns at one
point shelling and driving away the
enemy, who were endeavoring to con
struct a redoubt. The Germans for their
pnrt expended a large number of heavy
sheila In a long range bombardment of a
I village.

ing the night of September 11-22, discov

and wounded were picked up. A number

of rifles, ammunition and equipment were
found. There were other signs that por
tions of the enemy's forces had with
drawn for some distance.
I'neventfnl foe British.
"Tuesdny, September 22, was also fine,
with less wind, and was one of the most
uneventfi 1 days that has passed since we
reached the Aisne uneventful that is,
for the British. There was less artillery
work on cither side, the Oermana, never
theless, giving another village a taste of
the 'Jack Johnsons'.
"The spot thus honored was not far
from the ridge where aome of the most
severe fighting In which we have taken
part occurred. All over this 'no man's
land' between the linea, the bodies of Ger
man Infantry are still lying In heaps
where they have fallen at different times.
"Espionage plays so large a part In
the conduct of the war ey the Germans
that It la difficult to avoid further refer
ence to the subject
Frederick's Kpiarrau.
"They have evidently never forgotten
tne saying of Frederick The Greet: 'When
Marshal Soublse goes to war he Is fol
lowed by a hundred cooks; when I take
the field I am preceded by a hundred
spies.'
"Indeed, until about twenty years ago,
there waa a paragraph In their field
service regulation directing that the serv
ice of 'protection In the field' e. g. out
posts and advanced guards should always
be supplemented by a system of espolnage.
'Though such Instructions are no longer
made public, the Germans, as Is well
known, still carry them Into effect.
Apart from the more elaborate arrange
ments which were made In peace time r
obtaining Information by paid agents,
some of the methods which are being em
ployed for the collection or conveyance
of Intelligence are as follows:
Scoate In Plal Clothe.
"Men In plain clothes algnal to the Ger
man lines from points In the hands of
the enemy by means of colored lights at
night and puffa of smoke from chimneys
by day. Pseudo laborers working In the
fields between the armies have been de
tected conveying Information and per
sons In plain clothea have acted as ad
vanced scouts to the German cavalry.
' "German officers and soldiers In. plain
clothes, or In French or British uniforms,
have remained In localities evacuated by
the Germana In order to furnlnh them
with Intelligence.
Spy Foand la tfcarefc. .
"One spy of this kind waa found by
our troops hidden In a church tower. His !
presence was discovered only through
the erratic movement, of the hands of
the church clock, which he waa using to
signal to his friends by means of an
Improved semaphore code. Had this man
not been seised It is probable ho would
have signalled to the German artillery
at the time of their arrival the enact
location of the headquarters and staff.
A high explosive shell would then have
mysteriously dropped on the building.
woman spies have also been caught;
secret agents have been found at the
railroads observing entralnraents and de
tainments.
"It la a simple matter for spies to mix
with the refugees moving about to their
homes; difficult for our troops, who speak
neither French nor German to detect
them.
"The French have found It necessary to
search villages and also casual wayfar
ers on the roads for carrier pigeons.
Among the movements taken by us to
guarantee ua against spies Is the pub
lication of the following notice printed in
French and posted:
" 1 Motor cars and bicycle not carry
ing soldiers In uniforms msy not circulate
on the roads.
" 1 The Inhabitants msy not leave the
localities where they reside between
p. m. and a. m.
" "J Inhabitants may not quit their
hemes after I p. m.
" '4 No person may on any pretext pass
through the British lines without an
authorization, countersigned by a Brit
ish, officer.
"Events have moved so quickly during
the last two months- that anything con
nected with the mobilisation of the Brlt-
tsit expeditionary force Is now ancient
history.. Nevertheless the following ex
tract of a German order Is evidence of
the mystification of the enemy and Is
tribute to the value of secrecy, well snd
loyally maintained at the time in Eng
land: , .
" Tenth Reserve Army Headquarters,
Mont St. Guibert, August 30, 191i. 23.40
corps order 21st, August: The French
troops In front of the Tenth army corps
have retreated touth across the Sambre,
Part of the Belgian army has withdrawn
to Antwerp. It Is reported that an Eng'
llsh army has disembarked at Calais and
Boulogne, enroute from Brussels.' "
