10' THE BEE? OMAHA, SATURDAY. MARCH 31, 1917. HOW THE SCOTS ARE LOOKING AT THE WAR Papers From Glasgow Show " That Everyday Life Goes On Abput As Usual THOUSANDS AT BALL GAMES BY A. R. GROH. Everyday life in at least ome of the warring countries of Europe seems to go on much as usual these strenuous days. George Chandler of The Bee has received some daily newspapers from Glasgow, Scotland, that make an ex tremely interesting study. We have a vague idea that the peo ple there think of nothing but the war, talk of nothing but the war, stand in line most of the day to get food, and then stagger faiptly home to cook it and eke out existence a little longer. We imagine there isn t i man of military age to be found on the streets. We fancy there ire no thea ters open. Very different are the actual facts. Here it a -copy of the Glasgow Post of Sunday, March 4. Sixteen pages, and the price is one penny, which doesn't indicate a paper short- Theaters Are Open, , On page 11 are fourteen theatrical advertisements and "Personal Gossip from Theaters and Music Halls." Page's 14 and 15 are filled with snorting news. The scores in no less thin forty-nine foot ball games, played the previous day, are given. It takes quite a lot of able-bodied young men to play forty-nine foot ball matches eh, what? And think of the thousands of other young men who were acting as spectators. Columns are given to detailed descriptions of some of the previous day's games. This paper offers a prize of 100 pounds weekly for the best forecast of fifteen foot ball games. The paper is full of advertisements of many things from kidney pills to Yorkshire tweeds for clothing. , Of course, there it plenty of war news, too. And it is surprising what buoyancy and hopefulness pervade the paper. Clamor for Peace, One story tella of the capture of 600 Germans from raided trenchet by seventy French. Another article deals with the British prisoner! who have returned from Germany. One of these men reports that "despair and depression are spreading among the people and in Leipsit and Frankfort the people are clamoring for peace." J le declares that one of hia German guards tola him, "We cannot win now. The British are bound to beat us." . Another article is headed "Wearing Down the U-Boat Pirates." The writer estimates that Germany had 300 U-boats February 1 and that 100 of these have been lost. He says Germany admits a loss of fifty. He estimates that the British and French anti-submarine patrol can destroy twenty-five a month and that Ger many is building twelve new ones a month, The real root of the trouble, he say, it the fleet of about ninety big ocean-going submarines which do the real damage and if this fleet can be cut down one-half he thinks the failure of the U;boat campaign will be established. One articje points shamefully to the fact that' "in the third year of the war we have spent more on intoxi cants than in any previous year of our history." There it a picture of nine British captivet in Paderborn, Germany, tent by one of the captivet to his father, They all look healthy and well-fed. There it a three-column account of two British soldiers lying in a ahell hole for tix dayt and finally being taken out by the Germant and nursed back to health. Englishman, kama' red," waa the friendly way in which the Germans greeted their wounded toe I. : . . . , Bee Flags Are Now to, Be Seen On All Sides The first supply of The Bee flags was quickly exhausted, a rush wire order went the same way and a sec ond wire order was tent. Forty flagt were ordered by the Walnut Hill school teachers and 120 by the South Lincoln school teachers and pupils. Brown Park school sent for thirty-four flags. Hundreds of these flags Have been placed on wind shields of automo biles. They serve acceptably for win dow decorations. - Tells Police that He Finds Woman's Handbag On Street K.

RAIL CONGESTION BETTER "While there are more flags flying and more bands marching the streets, there it nothing to indicate that there is any more patriotism in the eastern cities than right here in Omaha." re marked J.

' Mr. Munroe went to Washington to appear in several cases before the Interstate Commerce commission in which the Union Pacific i: interested. None of these cases were reached. Decisions were handed down, how ever, In a number of railroad cases, but they related to local conditions and had no bearing upon the general railroad situation. in New York aud Boston, as well as in practically the eastern cities vis ited, Mr. Munroe asserts that there was no particular excitement over in ternational matters, yet there was a feeling of intense interest. War talk he found to be pretty general and an inclination upon the part of nearly all to stand behind President Wilson in the position he has taken. Said Mr. Munroe: "Since the censorship has been placed on the army and nav, there is much less talk than previously, al though everywhere there is an indica tion that preparedness is going on in all departments of the government service that would have to do with war in the event that it should come. "The freight congestion problem seems to be working itself out and the shipments are moving more freely than in a long time, but, of course, normal conditions have not been com pletely, restored."
