UNCLE SAM PAYS
SOLDIM HIGHEST
Aen Who Go to the Front for
United States Oet More
Money Than Any
Others.
By A. R. GROH.
Uncle Sam's soldiers, a week or
two igo, received a 100 per cent in
crease in their pay. They were
"raised" from $15 a month, to $30 a
month.
A private soldier in our army now
receives $360 a year. He is, there
fore, by far the best paid soldier in
the world.
Here is '.he pay that a private sol
dier gets in other countries: Great
Britain, $89 a year; France, $20 a
year; Germany, $38 a year; Italy, $70
a year. In Turkey a private soldier
gets ill a year; in Austria-nungary
and Taoan he sets $8 .a year, and in
Russia he gets just $4 for a year's
service.
A private soldier in our armjr gets
a little more pay than a captain in the
Russian army, tit gets almost as
much as a colonel in the Russian
' army, the colonel's salary being $398
a year, linese figures, oi course,
are all reduced from pounds, shillings,
francs, lira, roubles and jnarks to dol
lars). In addition to the money pay sol
diers receive Quarters, clothing, ra
tions and medical attendance in all
armies. Mounted officers -receive al
lowancei for horse and equipment ,
, Keep Books on Pay.
In European armies the allowances
' under different (circumstances are so
numerous that books are required to
cover mem. in kussu, ior instance,
four volumes are required , to deal
with the subieft of pay.
In England additional pay is given
for foreign service, for command, for
armament, for fuel, lights, servants,
mess, official entertainments, etc.
In France additional pay if given
according to the number of children
the soldier has, for prison duty, for
being stationed in Paris (because of
the higher cost of living).
Pay of officers' varies greatly m the
ditterent countries, ine annual sal
ary of a colonel in the various coun
. tries is as follows: United States,
$4,000; Great Britain, $2,098; France,
$1,744: Germany, $2,162; Russia, $398;
Austria-Hungary,' $1,440;. Japan,
$1,470; Italy, $1,520; Spam, $1,450;
,4 max, pi,tfvT. , :
Goes With the Pay.
Officers' allowances and perquisites
are extremely varied in the different
countries.
The -United' States has the only
really democratic army in the world.
Here a man of any birth or station
may become an officer. In England
officers are drawn (in ordinary times,
at least) from the upper or wealthier
classes. It is not presumed that their
salaries are sufficient to support them.
In Germany an officer, before being
E emitted to marry, must show that
e or his wife has sufficient private
income to maintain them according
to their position." . "
A private soldier in our army also
receives a fixed increase of pay for
ach-re-enustment ud to tne sevemn.
''Aftef thirty years' Service he may rej
tire, with S per cent of his pay and
: allowances for the rest of his days.
Conservation Meet the Best
' Ever, Prof. Condra Says
"The conservation meet surpassed
'all our expectations and was the
greatest ever," Prof. G. E, Condra,
secretary of state conservation and
welfare commission said today.
"We are greatly obliged to the peo
ple of the state tor the interest they
took in the affair. The people have
been true and loyal."
' Prof. Condra said that the split In
the meeting was only a trivial matter
after all. "Everybody was working
for the common cause and in the cud
we all pulled together." , '
Indian Gets Sixty Days and Asks
Judge to Make it a Year; He Does
i. Omaha War News
Joe Tebo, a half-breed Indian, after
being sentenced to sixty days in the
Douglas county jail by Federal Judge
Pollock for introducing liquor on the
Indian reservation, tip-toed up to the
judge's desk and asked to be sentenced
to a year instead.
This almost unbelievable thing
happened in- federal court. Judge
Pollock had- just sentenced William
Snow to a year and a day in the fed
eral prison at Leavenworth, Kan., for
selling liquor to Indians. He told
Snow, who is sick, that he would have
good care there and, in fact, painted
such a pleasitig picture of prison life
King Ak Issues a
Call for Men Who
Will Do the Work
A new stunt, a regular hair raiser,
is promised by the Ak-Sar-Ben man
agement for the big show, the first of
fifteen to be given on successive Mon
day nights at "the Den," at Twen
tieth and Burdette, Monday night,
June 4. Gus Renze will not disclose
what the stunt Is to be, but declares
it to be the best ever.
Rehearsal for the show Mondav.
May 28, requires forty more volun
teers, bright, hustling fellows, for a
working crew. It will be a full re
hearsal of crew as well as of the
chorus.
This show is to entertain the Ne
braska Dental association. Every
man in Omaha who wishes to see the
show and those that follow should
fet a membership button before June
, Members can take as free guests
as many visitors who are not Omaha
residents as they may wish.
Red Cross Campaign Raises
$40,000 and 28,000 Members
The ' Red Cross membership and
educational campaign committee is
much gratified with the results of
last week's campaign.
More than $40,000 was raised and
over 28,000 members obtained.
Although- the drive for membership
is practically at an end, the commit
tee urges that every new Red Cross
member obtain one . or more addi
tional signers. ;
The committee reoorts that no sec
tion of the country has shown as
much patriotism in the great move
ment as Omaha.
The $40,000 raised Is the same
amount as the American Red Cross
gave to Omaha at the time of the
toronado.
Commercial Club Wants
Dispensary Continued
: Dr. B. W. Christie is made chair
man of a social committee of the
Commercial club to confer with city
authorities as to the best method of
financing the free dental dispensary
it) Omaha, .in order that this institu
tion may be kept' going in the future
as it has been during the last year,'
Mrs. E. W. Nash made the request of
the city health and hospitals commit
tee of the Commercial club that some
assistance be given, and the appoint
ment of Dr. Christie followed.
that it aroused a desire in Tebo to go,
too. ,
He exnlained to the judge that he
is not in good health. The judge or
dered him examined and found that
his health is poor. He then consented
to send him to Leavenworth for a
year instead of to the Douglas county
jail. "A year and a day" is the mini
mum sentence, under which federal
prisoners are admitted to the federal
prison. For shorter sentences they
are sent to county jails. Men who
have served "time" in both usually
prefer a year in the federal prison to
a few months in the average county
jail. A splendid hospital is part of
me equipment at ine i-eavenwonn
prison.
Drive for Comfort
Kit Fund Sets the
Workers Over $1,000
More than $1,000 has been reported
to the "comfort kit" headquarters in
the Kennedy building by Saturday
evening and more was coming in all
the time. Mrs. Henry Doorley; who
under Mrs. J. T. Stewart 2d, was in
charge of the $25 subscriptions, re
ceived twenty from the following

and Mrs. John Lionberger $49 in
Dundee.
Little Jane Stewart, who solicited at
the Blackstone, received $25, and Sam
Carlisle and Louis Metz. two Boy
Scouts, received $15 at the Grain Ex
change.
Bankers Slow to Organize
For Finance Production
Though the Conservation congress
in Omaha last week recommended
among other things that the bankers
of the state organize to finance pro
duction, banks in Omaha have done
nothing special along this line. Local
bankers say they understood this rec
ommendation to have particular refer
ence to the bankers out in the state,
and these are arranging to extend
loans wherever possible to farmers
and others who will use the money in
a productive way.
The Federal Land bank of Omaha
comes in for particularly good serv
ice along this line, since the law re
quires that it make no loans except
to actual farmers, for actual produc
tion on the farms, or for paying off
mortgages on the farms.
Women's Clubs of State
Are to Meet in Omaha
Omaha will entertain the 1917 con
vention of the Nebraska Federation of
Women s clubs-the last week in Oc
tober. Several hundred clubwomen
will attend. The time and place for
the meeting was set at a meeting of
state chairmen and the program com
mittee held in Lincoln Saturday.
New Carrier System at
Beddeo's Is Successful
The Beddeo Clothing company,
1417 Douglas street, installed a new
cash carrier system which had its
tryout yesterday and proved very sue-
cesslul.
It consists of metal boxes carried
on an endless rooe nroDelled by elec
tric motor. There are four stations,
at the ladies suit department, alter,
atnon department, delivery depart
ment and cashier's office.
"It is a great success," said Mr.
Beddeo. "We have been almost
swamped with business on Saturdays.
We had to carry people up by ele
vator to the cashier's office and then
down again. Under the new system
they make payments on the first floor
and inside of ten or fifteen minutes
the carrier system has carried the
cash to the cashier and come back
again."
Sues for $5,000 Damages;

Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway c impany for $5,000, was
awarded damages of 1 cent by a jury
in law court. Judge J. roup presiding.
He brought suit as a result of an al
leged assault made upon him by a
street car conductor on the Cuming
street line December 23. 1916.
Judge Troup instructed the jury
that damages by way ot compensa

Little Demand for Light
Run of Grain in Omaha
The Omaha grain market was en
tirely without pep and while receipts
were fair, there being twenty-seven
cars of wheat, fifty-one oi corn and
thirteen of oats, there was little de
mand for any of the grain.
Wheat sold at $2.84(32.85, un
changed from Friday, and while there
were no sales of corn, prices were
down a fraction, the offerings being
made at $1.581.59. Oats were a cent
off and sold at 64'i65 cents a
bushel.

Freckles and Blotches
Are Easily Peeled Off
If you. are bothered with any cutaneous
blemish, it's a poor plan to use paint.
powder, or anything- else to cover It up.
Too often this only emphasises the defect.
Besides, It's much easier to remove the I
dtsflaurement with ordinary mercollsed
wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradu-
lly remove freckles, pimples, moth
oatchea. liver spots, sallowness. red
blotches or any surface eruption. The
affected cuticle Is absorbed, a little each
day, until the clear, soft, youthful and
beautiful skin beneath Is brought wholly
to view. Aek the drurgfst for one ounce
of mercollsed wax and use this like you
use cold cream. Remove In morning with
soap and water. Many who have tried
this simple, harmless treatment report
astonishing results.
If troubled with wrinkles Or furrows.
a wash lotion made by dissolving an ounce
or powdered saxonta in a nair pine or witch I
hassl, will prove wonderfully effective.

There were no enlistments to the
Kebraska- National Guard Friday or
Saturday forenoon, and but fifteen for
the week.
In explaining the reasons for the.
lack of enlistments Major Todd said:
"The people don't realize the seri
ousness of this war. We are too
busy, things are going too smoothly
for the people to realize the serious
ness of what we are up against. It
isn't a lack of patriotism, but lack of
knowledge.
"One reason why we are not get
ting as many, recruits as the regular
army is that it has many agent trav
eling and soliciting for recruits. Post
masters are being paid $5 for every
recruit th.v inrltirn in Inln
"There is an advantage to men en
listing in the Guard because they as
sociate witn home friends, whereas
in the army they are mixed with
strangers. Then again, we recruit
only for the infantry. The army
'offers applicants a greater varied
service to choose from,"
, Thomas Graham of the United
States National bank and Hugh
Graham of the M. E. Smith company,
brother of Miss Mabel Graham, who
is a teacher in the Franklin school,
nave enlisted in the navy. Another
brother, George Graham, expects to
enlist soon.
Six navy recruits hive been given
temporary employment in Omaha as
,elerks and distributors of advertising,
.through the employment agency con
ducted by EnsigS) Rayley.
There is almost no sickness among
guardsmen at Fort Crook, according
to Major Birkner. He reports that
Companies A, B and C today finished
their second innoculation against ty
phoid and that the headquarters, the
.machine and the supply companies
received their third and last innocula
tion Friday. Only the first innocula
tion caused illness or soreness.
Sergeant Knobbs, Company B,
-Fort Crook, who was run over by an
engine at the Union Pacific bridge six
weeks ago, is now riding about the
Eost in a wheel chair. Hit la able to
obble about somewhat with the use
of crutches. -
Lieutenant E. L. Wilbur, In charge
ef enlisting men-for the quartermast
ers' reserve corps, reports that he has
signed up fifty-one recruits today.
Among the list art thirty-two chauf
fers and ten clerks. There is a great
demand for teamsters. Lieutenant
