Most of Young Recruits
Want to Be Officers
"Every other applicant wants to be
an officer," says Captain McKinley of
the army recruiting station.
He is nearly swamped with applica
tions and prospective applicants tor
the army officers' reserve corps, while
applicants to be lowly privates in the
ranks of regular fighting men could
be much more numerous, he says,
without overcrowding the army.
"We must fill the regular army be
fore the reserve officers can be given
places in case of war," he continues.
"Every day a dozen or more fine
young men volunteer to take exami
nations for entrance to the officers'
reserve. That is praiseworthy and
patriotic, but these would-be officers
would make splendid soldiers, and
that is what the army needs most in
this crisis."
About thirty young men of Omaha
have already applied for examination
to enter the officers reserve corps,
mostly as second lieutenants. They
would be called upon for active serv
ice only in case of war, when they
would become officers in the regular
army, or volunteers.
Elkhorn River Reported
To Be Cutting Its Banks
A large force of men from the
county engineer's department was
hurried to Waterloo when it was re
ported that the Elkhorn river was
on a -ampage, cutting great chunks
out of the banks and otherwise dam
aging property. About twenty feet
of bank has been eaten away at the
Sueider bridge in the southern part
of the county. ,

Inefficiency of U. S. Mail Service
Shown by a Railway Postal Clerk
To 'the Editor of ' The Bee:
Much has been said and written in
regard to the delays of mail, the poor
system of efficiency, and I would like
to add a few words, more if you will
be so kind as to permit space in your
paper. We have found out that not
every paper will tackle this question,
especially the democratic ones, as it
is too much of a reflection on their
administration. Should the postoffice
appropriation bill come before con
gress including in it an amendment to
raise the price of transportation you
will see some swift action on the
part of our senator from Nebraska
denouncing it and fighting against
such outrage; merely it would come
out of his pocket. Example last
congress.
The latest and most serious of of
fenses the Postoffice department is
perpetrating is to have clerks as
signed in terminals work about nine
and a half hours a day and seven
days a week. Such an order came
out recently through the division
superintendent and chief clerk. The
congestion of mail brought this about
and so consequently we must submit
for a while yet, but things are going
to take on better shape after a little,
for this system of treating employes
will some day be over and a good or
ganization started that w ill demand of
its government honesty, sincerity and
good fellowship in their dealings, in
stead of graft, inefficiency and in
competency. What was it that made the Tracy
and Pierre clerks quit four or five
years back? The stop-watch method
of the department. There is money
in the treasury for certain purposes,
such as investigations, and also
money will be spent for legal talent
to fight for us. We must bring this
to an issue and we will. Nothing
less than restoring the service as it
was will be asked and again giving
the people their money's worth. A
person sees patriotic speeches, etc.,
in the papers about what advantage
the government is offering young
men to go into government service.
Rotl Come into tire mail service and
see what you get. If you won't do
right according to your conscience
you're fired by wire, like it happened
to a chief clerk in Chicago, or will
reduce you from superintendent to
chief clerk and send you to Honolulu
like it happened in the thirteenth
division. I wonder if the department
thinks they can work a clerk seven
days and get as much work out of
him as to work him six days aid let
him rest one day? The department
acknowledges that an awful conges
tion of mail exists or such an order
as work every clerk seven days would
not bi issued. So we again call upon
every business man to bring his in
fluence upon the department and also
the commercial clubs of all cities to
bring about better American condi
tions instead of conditions which are.

Kansan Fined Limit for
Assault On Aged Cripple
The stiffest fine that Police Judge
Fitzgerald has yet levied upon inian
charged with simple assault was im
posed Wednesday morning upon El
mer E. Martin of Topeka, Kas. Mar
tin was fined $100 for battering a
cripple 62 years old.
"1 am guilty," saiu the prisoner,
"but I would like to explain how it
happened." Then he proceeded to
tell how the old man had spoken in a
surly manner to him while both were
in the Metropolitan hotel at Twelfth
and Douglas streets.
Patrolman Goss, who arrested Mar
tin, said that the aged cripple's surli
ness consisted of saying "no" when
Martin demanded the key of the old
man's room.
"I was released from jail only yes
terday," Martin whined.
"And . you are going right back
there," said the judge.
One Minute
Store Talk
"It's a wonderful thing to see
this business throbbing with
life and every member of the
organization filled with en
thusiasm," said a visiting mer
chant yesterday.
The mere selling of regular
clothing alone gives no stimu
lus. It's the new ideas, the out-of-the-ordinary
things that set
this store above the common
place and give enthusiasm
to the organization. A new
satisfaction in clothes
buying awaits you here. .

Empire Tire Dealers everywhere
are selling extra miles
Empire Tires have a well earned reputation for extra miles
and lower cost per mile.
For years car owners and the trade have known the
Empire Peerless Red Tubes and the, famous Empire Red
Casings as the longest wearing values on the market
The same high grade materials, the same individual skill,
the same careful, honest workmanship go into every Empire
tire product, gray as well as red. x
Besides their ability to put extra miles into rubber, the
Empire Company have now discovered a process of putting extra miles
into fabric Their new exclusive "equal tension" process gets rid of
those weak 4P that cause 53 per cent of all bloa-outs.
Go to any Empire Dealer and let him show you just what
these extra miles mean to you."
