National Guard 91 Army 56 Navy 34 Marine Corps 8 Total since Sunday 189 Girls I Here is your chance to help in the national crisis. Although recruiting continues briskly, many , more volunteers ire desired than have come forward so far. Recruiting officials appealed at noon to the patriotism of the women especially sweethearts, sisters and mothers to urge young men to re spond now to the call to the colors. National Guard officers are partic ularly in need of such help at this time, and have taken the lead in the appeal to patriotic women to Help them in recruiting. Scarcity of Rookies. Although "rookies" in the Guard have come in quite fast, the figures show that they are tar behind the de sired number, and Guard officers ad' nut that their enlistments are no where near as numerous as they should be. While less than 1U0 have joined that branch so far, over 1,000 are needed from Omaha alone. If the sweethearts, mothers and sisters of Omaha's young men would get busy we would get the necessary thousand in twenty-four hours," said Lieutenant Colonel Elsasser. "Fel lows are hanging back, and only need the stimulus that the women can give, if they will only do so." By days, the new enlistments in the Guard have been: Monday, 7: Tuesday, 42; Wednesday, 33; Thurs day till noon, only y. "At least a thousand men are on the verge of stepping into the ranks of tl.e local Guard." says Major Todd of the Omaha battalion.

A tighter lid on all preparedness news was ordered by General Phil Hall of the Nebraska National Guard, who passed through Omaha on his way from Washington to Lincoln. He carried important secret orders from General Barry, commanding the Central department ot the army. Further disposition of guards "somewhere in Nebraska," followed General Hall's arrival. Armed and uniformed guardsmen marched, en trained and took ud duties at various points, details of which are suppressed under the censorship rules. By night all guardsmen of the Omaha v battalion t will - be fully quipped. Training of recruits is being rushed at the armorv. Guardsmen not engaged with guard or training work are bringing in recruits as last is nossihle. Guy L. Srtiith, the Murphy com pany and the foley lranster com--anv have loaned autos and trucks ;or messenger, recruiting and equip ment transportation work service. Captain Jerre Baxter, U. S. A., who ivas instructor of the Fourth Nebras ka National Guard at Llano Grande on the Mexican border, visited local recruiting headquarters on his way Several "slackers" belonging to the local Guard have been brought in for dutv. bv orders of the omcers. One or two others, who were married since the call was issued Monday, will not be excused from responding to the present call, officers declared. Guard Will Be Active. "Men are making a mistake in hold' ing back from guard enlistment, in the expectation ot getting active serv' ice with the volunteer troops later," says Lieutenant Colonel Elsasser. "Ihe Guard will get the active duty, if any organization does." , How to Avoid Stomach Troubles. Digestion begins in the mouth. Food should be thoroughly masti cated. Your food should be suited to your age and occupation. People of sedentary habits should eat little meat, but should drink an abundance of water, especially when they first get up in the morning and between meals. When you feel dull and stupid after eating, that shows that you have eaten too much. The bowels should be kept regular. When needed take a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets. They will improve your digestion and move the bowels. Advertisement. When We Need the Navy What do you know about the United States Navy?

Hint Internal Reforms in Germany May Come Before the War is Over Copenhagen (Via London), March 29. The demand for the immediate introduction of internal reforms in Germany, particularly in Prussia, which the socialist and radical par ties have been advocating for months, has received a strong impetus from the Russia revolution. The press or gans of these parties, notably the Berlin Vorwaerts, declare that Rus sia's revolt to democracy leaves Ger many and Austria-Hungary alone among the belligerents as representa tives of non-parliamentary regimes and necessitates German reforms without waiting for the end of the war, as Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg advocates. The Vorwaerts declares that other wise the conviction of the entente na tions that they are now fighting for the freedom of the world against antiquated modes of government will grow stronger and stronger. In Wed nesday morning's leader the Vor waerts attacks tle chancellor on this score more vigorously than at any time since the paper passed into the control of the moderate socialists. It abandons entirely the attitude of sup port which the socialists under Scheidemann's leadership have been extending to the chancellor and em ploys that sharp language of ante bellum days. The attitude of the other socialis papers also leaves little doubt that a campaign on this issue is about to be launched in the Reich stag. More remarkable, however, is a phrase in the Cologne Gazette, from which it might be deduced that the chancellor is considering some im- NEGRO METHODISTS GATHERJI OMAHA Lincoln Conference Oonvenet at Grove Chnroh, Bishop Stunts Presiding.

FIFTEEN ARE ACCEPTED Natives of Germany, Austria and Bohemia were among fifteen young men accepted at the army recruiting station Wednesday. "This is too much," declared Frank Zemanek, 4011 South Twelfth street, an ex-army man. It looks like the United States may be fighting soon, on the side of the allies, so I'm going to join the army again and help free Bohemia from Teutonic rule." Ze manek is of Bohemisn extraction. Frits P. Henningsen of Hastings who was born in Holstein, Germany, was another army recruit. Ho is IS years of aga and a full citizen of the United States, through naturalization of his parents. He was so anxious to Join the Amer ican forces in any possible hostilities with Germany that he persuaded the recruiting officers to accept him, al though he was seven pounds under the required weight for his age and height. Tony Kaber, a coal miner from Boone, la., told the recruiters that he was born in Austria, but was against the kaiser. He has first naturalization papers. Standing six feet one inch barefooted, Kaber ought to make a good soldier, Sergeant Hansen said. To Use Freight Cars in Case of Big Troop Movement If the soldiers are moved In large numbers they will ride in freight in stead of passenger cars and sleepers. This has been decided upon by the railroad passenger men and execu tives of the roads, not because of choice, but because of necessity. Local railroad men assert that re cently a meeting of government and railroad transportation officials was held anoMhe question of the move ment of troops was gone into. The agreement was reached that in the event there should be a large move ment of men it would be necessary to us freight cars for their transpor tation. It was shown that if they used their entire passenger equip ment for the purpose there would not be enough of it to move an army of any considerable proportions without abandoning regular passenger service. The gpvernment officials agreed with the railroad men on the proposi tion and as a result if a movement of soldiers becomes necessary the men will ride in freight cars that will be equipped with seats and bunks and made as comfortable as possible.

Keterring to tne Kussian revolution, the Gazette says: "Should the chancellor become con vinced that it is inadvisable to defer changes in the Prussian system which he has declared necessary ana ad vantageous until peace, but on the contrary to give them a more definite form now, this newspaper woum noi criticize him."
