ELKS MAKE MERRY
HERE THIS WEEK
State Convention to Be Harked by
the Big Flag Say
Parade.
Nebraska Elks are coming to
Omaha.
The gathering of Nebraska Elks
once a year had its start in 1913. Up
to that time Nebraska had only looked
on, while members of the lodge from
South Dakota, Iowa and Missouri held
annual reunions, bringing together
from 5,000 to 10,000 annually. Of
course, a certain number went every
year to the national convention, but
the trip was usually too far and too
costly.
Four years ago, however, the begin
nine was made of a state convention
About seventy-five members gathered
jn Lincoln, but the event was only a
meeting of delegates, and no provision
I was made for the women ot the party.
I Then, in 1914, the members, still as
delegates, gathered in North rlatte,
where there was a grand good time
r everybody, though not more than
300 br 400 were present. There was
a fine program of sports, including
"broncho busting" and other cowboy
stunts, a wild west show and last, but
not bv anv means least, a hsh bake.
the North Platte hosts draining a lake
and taking out 500 pounds of black
bass for the visitors.
Then at Fremont.
Then came, in 1915, the big meeting
in Fremont. About 700 attended this
time, including many women, and the
event was even more enjoyable man
either of the previous ones. It
hoped that 2,500 may attend the meet
ins in Omaha.
Preparations have been in progress
for several days in the way of dec
orating the streets. There will be a
court of honor, and posts have been
set all the way from the city hall
down Farnam street to lenth street,
and along Tenth to the Burlington
depot, for flags and bunting. The
posts will stay up until September for
other events, incuding the Master
Bakers, who are to be in session this
week, and various other gatherings,
including that of the Ak-Sar-Ben later
in the summer.
To Visit the Den.
When the Elks arrive Monday they
will be whisked off to the Omaha "den"
for the evening, while the ladies of
the party will attend a performance
of "Inside the Lines" at the Brandeis
theater. Tuesday there will be busi
ness sessions forenoon and afternoon.
In the evening there wil be a dance
and other festivities at tne iMem ciud.
Wednesday morning there will be an
excursion to the stock yards at South
Omaha, the members returning for the
grand parade and other events the
afternoon of Flag day.'
Co-ooerating with the Elks the
f nmm ercial club. throuKh Judge W,
D. McHuirh. has obtained 49.000 flags
for those who will march in the pa
rade, 10,000 for the school children
and 3.500 for the oarochial schools
Isaac W. Miner of the Elks has also
provided 1,500 flags for the marchers
and 10,000 for the school children.
Fully 3,000 other small flags, will also
be in evidence.
The Boy Scouts, the National
Guardsmen, the Grand Army of the
Republic, the Women's Relief corps,
the Loval Legion and the Sons of
Veterans will be represented in the
parade.
Altogether about 75,000 flags will
be seen in one way or another. About
a dozen bands will take part, inclua
inir. besides all the Omaha bands,
those of Plattsmouth, Blair, Oakland
and the University band of Lincoln.
Later there will be exercises in
Hanscom park. Hitherto, until last
year, the exercises since 1908 had
been held in the Auditorium. There
will be a oraver bv Rev. Robert S,
Lockhart, several songs, including
"Trntincr on the Old CamD Ground
and "America," an address by General
Georae H. Harries, marshal, and
other speeches by Rev. Dr. T.
Mackav of Omaha and Dr. T.
Poucher of Norfolk. They will pay
tribute to the flag, tell what it stood
for since the foundation ot the gov
ernment, and say kind things, too.

Today everything is normal again.
Ampng the cars off the track were
three cars of automobiles on the way

Hampshire on Fire
When It Goes Down
With Earl Kitchener
Aberdeen, Scotland, June 10. The
British cruiser Hampshire was seen
to be afire before it sank off the Ork
ney islands while carrying Earl Kitch
ener, the British war minister, to Rus
sia, according to statements ot-men
un udwras ana steamers arriving
here from the Orkneys. The disas
ter occurred last'Moiiday night, only
an hour after Earl Kitchener and
members of his staff had embarked
on the cruiser at the extreme north
of Scotland.
One trawler reported that the war
ship appeared to have blown up, al
though no sound of an explosion was
heard, probably on account of a ter
rific storm that was raging. Twenty
minutes after it was seen in distress

been torn from their bodies.

Washington, June 10. Anti-American
demonstration In northern Mexico
continues, according to official advices
today, particularly in the states of
Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi, and Nue
vo Leon, and although the manifesta
tions thus far have been confined
mostly to speech making, consular
agents have reported that the temper
of the people appears such that any
eventualities might be possible.
Americans are leaving for the bor
der in steadily increasing numbers.
Under previous instructions, State de
partment agents in Mexico are giving
every possible aid. In addition border
agents have been instructed to urge
those seeking to return to Mexico to
stay on the American side of the bor
der for the present.
Incited by Agitators.
Some reports said the demonstra
tions were in part incited by agitators.
Mass meetings were held at Saltillo
last night at which many speeches
condemning the presence of American
troops in Mexico were made. Similar
meetings have been held or are con
templated at other points. The only
violence against American property
reported was at Chihuahua City and
Monterey where there are no consular
agents.
Statements from Americans reach
ing the border and also from consular
agents in Mexico have indicated that
while General Carranza's forces were
trying to overcome the demonstra
tions, their control was not to be de
pended on entirely in some districts.
May Cause Warfare.
The agitators, some officials fear,
may arouse public opinion to a point
where an attempt to expel General
Pershing's men by force may be un
dertaken. There is nothing to indi
cate that Carranza's regular troops
will join in such a movement but
should Carraiua forces join the riot
ers a situation might be created from
which there would be no peaceful
escape.
Army officials have no fear for the
safety of the American expedition. It
is so closely concentrated as to be
fully able to defend itself in any
emergency, arid also to lend protec
tion to a wide stretch of the border.
