FLAG DAY PARADE NOT TO BE PREPAREDNESS SHOW, Still there is dissatisfaction among some of the women in Omaha in re- gard to the patriotic parade. Heads i of the various organizations of men j arc constantly calling the Commercial j club and the bureau of publicity with regard to a mooted point. 1 "is this a preparedness parade, or; is it not a preparedness parade?" i There are some who absolutely re-1 fuse to march if this is to be pre-1 paredness parade, while they say they j are caper to march if it be merely j a patriotic demonstration. , H. II. Baldrige of the general com. niiltec has repeatedly given out the statement that this is in no way a! preparedness parade, and that it is merely a demoniiatioii to how rev-; ertnre to the flag on Flag day.

The plsy was the annusl senior play presented every commencement. The setting of the play was exqui site, .The amphitheater, reached by an arboreal path, was surrounded on three sides by a thick, low growth of trees and bushes. At the foot of the eastern slope was the stage, roofed by trailing wild vines and a huge elm rising from the midst of i background of thick green shoots and bush. Before the play, acting President Nicholl introduced Dr. David Ramsey Kerr, the new president, who pre sented to Miss Marguerite Diddork the silver loving cup offered by Miss Bernire Miller, physical director for women, to the winner of the woman's tennis singles. As the applause which followed the presentation died away, Antonio and Bassanio appeared on the greens ward. Ten scenes from the first four acts of the play followed. The best and most finished acting was presented by Mis Anne M. Johnston as Portia and by Dean "ales as Shylock. Dean Fales as Shylork made a der cided impression. Although only a sophomore, young Fales interpreted the part of the Jew with sympathy and feelipa. Perry Johns mad Bassanio a "lover and a lusty bachelor." Barton Maxwell a Gratiano lent he touch of comedy necessary to relieve the tension of Shylock's tragic fate. Eu lalio Dagdag, the Filipino student, in a Moorish turban and baggy trousers of scarlet and gold, played the part of a serious and love-lorn prince of Morocco, The two other senior girls, Arline Smith for Nerissa, and Bernice Mitchell for the gentle Jessica, pleased the audience in costuming and playing FORMER BEE WRITERslREAK INTO CURRENT MAGAZINES Two former Omaha newspaper men and members of The Bee staff are represented in the current magazines. Van Verhten Hostetter, known her as "Judge" Hostetter. is the author of "Pauline and the Uplift," a clever sa tire on social reform, which appears in The Smart Set.

Lyman Bryson is the author of "Al falfa," an effective story of an ex-convict's hopes shattered, with a Ne braska setting, which appears in Mc Clure's Magazine.

SOME MISS TRAIN AT OMAHA Fremont, Neb., June 6. (Special.) On time to the second, the big Union Pacific de luxe special train, carrying the twenty-two eastern ad vertising men in search of wisdom concerning the great state of Nebras ka, burred into' this city at 10 o'clock this morning snd were promptly clasped to the palpitating bosom of the Fremont Commercial dub. The Nebraska Publishers' bureau entourage, including the gentle crea tures from tlfe effete east, now num bers fifty-nine folks, .and '"ce Henry P jrly and other prominent Nebras kans msnsgrd to miss the special train, having been given the scissors hold by Morpheus, the arrival of reg ular trains from Omafia will doubtless swell the party romewhat. Paper Printed on Train. The II use boys of Norfolk have set up their modern newspaper printing plant in the baggage ear ahead and publish their first edition of the tornhuskrr" this afternoon. All of the guests were greatly in terested in the Lane cut-off and many made notes on the facts ftivrn them on that subject by General Passenger Agent Basinger, who is on the train. After having glimpsed the wonders of Fremont's business center the trav elers were taken to the Country club for luncheon. As a fitting reception for a party who hsd spent a good deal of the previous night singing old college songs, the Fremont boosters had a forty-two-centimeter cannon at the depot, with which they fired a salute of ten guns. Fremont Handsomely Decorated. Bright sunshine and a whiff of Ne braska's celebrated and cooled ozone made the stay in Fremont a pleasant chapter in the story of the expedition. As was the case in Omaha, there were more automobiles on hand than there were tourists, while both the cars and the streets were handsomely deco rated with pennants and bunting. Ross Hammond, editor of the Fre mont Tribune, joined the party at Omaha and the train was met by a large delegation of citizens headed by George Wolz, president of the Fre mont Commercial club, and Mayor George Murrel. John C, Hein and Paul Colson were other prominent business men well to the fore, The two dozen experts from back yonder were greatly impressed with the Fremont spirit. Each Commercial clubman wore a white hat, upon which was emblazoned the slogan "Annual Budget for Publicity $15,000. Assistant Superintendent J. P.
