300 OMAHANS WANT
officers; STRIPES
Only Half, Though, Will Be Ad
ruitted to Training Camp
at Fort Snelling.
NOT EAGER IN THE EAST
' Between 200 and 300 Omaha men
have been recommended to take re
serve officer training at Fort Snell
ing beginning next week. Only about
half of these are expected to be
chosen, however, as almost twice as
many have been recommended in the
Fort Snelling district as can be ac
commodated at the first camp.
Associated Press information from
Chicago is that 4,700 men have been
certified by examining boards as
qualified for the Fort Snelling camp,
whereas attendance will be limited
to 2,500. For the Fort.Kiiey camp,
with the same capacity, 4,400 have
been certified.
Western Patriotism Strong.
For the Fort Sheridan and Fort
"Benjamin Harrison camps, each of
.which will accommodate 5,000 men,
-only about 5,200 have been certified.
-Colonel Root, examining applicants
here, says he regards this showing as
indicative that the Fort Snelling dis
trict, including Omaha, is giving a
"far greater response to the oppor
tunity than the other districts in the
central department, in proportion to
population.
Cuthbert Potter and John and
Victor Caldwell of Omaha have been
notified indirectly that they 'are
among local men selected to take
the Snelling training. General notifi
cation of Omaha men aelected was
- "to be made Wednesday, according to
rumor, but no Omaha men are known
to have received direct notification
yet.
Sergeants Carpenter and Moore of
the marine corps have pledged thir
teen recruits this week. This is a bet
ter showing than they have made for
any previous week since the call, and
they expect to obtain additional men
;before the end of the week. Two re
cent recruits were Leroy Pachin and
Harry Warren, who are full brothers,
3ut have different names, because one
'changed his name when adopted by
an aunt A third brother is already
a marine. Wilbur Talbott, enlisted
this week, was the sixth recent recruit
from Audubon, la,

tive rank for the week ending April
26, and stood twenty-first on that date
In number of recruits in proportion to
population. The district had 319 ap
plicants and 146 enlistments that
week. Lieutenant Waddell expects
liis quota of 00 recruits will be com
plete by Wednesday night or Thurs
day noon. His district was assigned
to get that many men between April
1 and iMay 5, but did not quite make
the quota because of bad weather.
J Halle S. Kay, captain and quarter
master Omaha Red Cross, formerly
assistant general passenger agent for
the Rock Island in Des Moines, has
arrived in Omaha to be Colonel Bing
ham's assistant at the Omaha supply
depot Captain Ray will be in charge
of transportation. ,
Major Blrkner, in charge, of the
Fourth Nebraska National Guards'
sanitary detachment, has made inspec
tions of all camps and guard posts in
and near Omaha, and reports satis
factory conditions existing at each.
"' Captain James F. McKinley," In
charge of army recruiting in the
Omaha : district, Tuesday took his
physical examination, preliminary, to
being promoted -to be a major, ;
Two high-rated members of the lo
cal navy recruiting staff are about to
re-enlist at the expiration of their
present terms, and will receive big
bonuses for doing so. .
: Chief Yeoman F. I. Ross will be
paid bonus of $428 for re-enlisting
promptly, and Chief Quartermaster J.
B. Zimmerman will get a bonus of
$360.
'Ross joined the navy eight years
ago at the age of 21 and his first sal
ary was $1760 per month, in addition
to subsistence and other allowances.
He will earn $91 clear monev each
month of his next enlistment Zim
merman joined the navy thirteen and
a half years ago, at the age of 16, and
first received only $8.80 per month
clear. He will earn $95.50 per month
clear during his next enlistment
Both men agree that ther are earn
ing more in the navy than they could
earn in civil life. They cite their
cases as illustrating the ODnortunities
afforded by the navy to men who be
have themselves, make the most of
things and stay in the game. Their
salaries ot over $w per month each
are in addition to tood, lodging, doth,
ing and traveling expenses.
" Walter E. Stevens, gunners' mate of
the navy recruiting staff here, has iust
been awarded his second good eon
duct badge, which carries with it a
salary bonus. He also has been rec

Belgian Art Exhibit to
Continue Another Week
Arrangements have been
fected to continue the Belgian
art exhibit, now on at the Audi
torium, or another week, so that
it will not close until May 16.
The exhibit is under the auspices
of the Fine Arts society, whose
members feel they are doing a
public service in jiving Omaha
art lovers a chance to see these
pictures, which were part of the
showing at the San Francisco ex
position. "The exhibition here is
not a money-making proposition
at all," it is explained, the admis
sion fee being wholly nominal.
"All that it ia hoped to do is to
stimulate the artistic taste of
those who take advantage of this
treat."

Many thousands of Nebraskans will
be added to the federal income tax
payers if the bill proposed by con
gress becomes a law. Under the pres
ent law 3,024 married men, sixteen
married women, 365 single men and
89 single women pay income tax in
Nebraska.
The war revenue bill proposes to
lower the exemption from $3,000 for
single persons to $1,000 and from
$4,000 for married persons to $2,000.
The number of persons in Nebraska
with incomes between $3,000 and
$4,000 is 1,013; between $4,000 and
$5,000 is 648; between $5,000 and $10,
000 is 1,233. There are three with in
comes between ?15U,UW and $4UU,UUU a
year.
Here are some examples of the way
the nrooosed law would affect in
comes. A single man making $3,000 a
year pays no income tax now. Under
the proposed bill he would pay 4 per
cent on his income over $1,000, that
is, he would pay $80 a year.
A married man with an income of
$4,000 a year now pays no income tax.
Under the proposed law he would pay
U a year.
At present there is no surtax on in
comes less than $20,000. They all pay
2 per cent. Under the proposed law
the surtax starts at the $5,000 income.
A married man, for instance, with an
income of $6,000 would pay 4 per cent
on the income in excess of his $2,000
exemption, which would be $160, and
a surtax of I per cent on the amount
in excess of the $5,000, which would
be an additional $10.
On incomes of $10,000 the proposed
bill makes a surtax of 3 per cent. A
married man, for example, with a
$10,000 income pays only $120 a year
income tax now. Under the new bill
he would pay $470.
The lone Nebraskan who has an in
come between $300,000 and $400,000
now pays about $27,000 income tax.
Under the proposed bill he would pay
about $100,000 per year tax. .

COL. ffl'CARTHY HAS
USE FORGIVILIANS
To Have Quartermasters' Re
serve Corps to Take Place
of Eegular Officers.
MEN FOR VARIOUS TASKS
Colonel Daniel McCarthy, formerly
of this city, father of the plan for a
quartermaster reserve corps, who
started the ball rolling two years ago
today, has begun a campaign to in
crease the reserve in the Central de
partment, of which he is quartermas
ter, to 5,000 men.
It was Colonel McCarthy's idea
that in time of war a man who had
been in the shoe business all his life
might well superintend the buying of
army shoes, and thus release a mili
tary officer for other service. The
nucleus of an organization was
formed and is now about to be ex
panded to full strength.
Men from 18 to 45 years of age are
eligible, and, while there are certain
examinations necessary, the main
qualification ia that the applicant
shall be able to do a certain piece of
work. Forty motor truck companies
are to be formed, eighty wagon com
panies, eight pack train companies,
seven bakery companies, and so ' n.
Need All Kinds of Artisans.
Bakers and blacksmiths are wanted;
so are carpenters, chauffeurs, clerks,
cooks, electricians, horseshoers and
trainers, laborers, machinists, sad
dlers, harness makers, trainmasters
and, in short, practically every kind
of artisan.
In a statement just issued Colonel
McCarthy urges that' applications for
joining the reserve be made at the
cities nearest applicants' homes. He
named recruiting officers as follows:
Omaha Lieutenant E4 h. Wilbur. Fourth
Infantry. Nabraaks National Guard.
Clev land Captain Albert R, Dekay,
Btxth Infantry, Ohio National Guard.
Detroit Captain William B. Doane, re-orultlna-
officer at Fort Wyne.
