To Reduce Number of Cars
As a war measure the railroads
have started to eliminate some of the
extras in connection with the pas
senger train service. Word comes
to the local offices of the Northwest
ern that parlor cars have been taken
off two ot the passenger trains oper
ating between Chicago and Milwau
kee, off one train between Milwaukee
and Antigo, one between Chicago and
Antigo and one between Sioux City
and Aberdeen.
The Chesapeake & Ohio has dis
continued the operation of parlor and
observation cars ou two ot its trains
between Chicago and Cincinnati,
while the Illinois Central, the Penn
sylvania and the Big Four have taken
parlor cars off most of their trains
operating out of Chicago, east and
south.
Railroad ticket agents say that no
tices have been issued from head
quarters to be more insistent in the
selling of upper berths in the sleep
ers. They lake this to mean that a
move is on foot looking to the tilling
of cars to capacity and in this way re
duce the number.

California Brush Fires
Ventura, Cal., June 18. Several
thousand men from here, Oxnard,
Carpinteria, Ojai and other places
are fighting to save the country for
miles around from three strong brush
fires now burning within a few miles
of here and from a recrudescence of
the Ojai valley fire, which burned a
third of the town, caused three deaths
and made sixty families homeless. A
fresh force of men has just been sent
out by the sheriff.
Three fires, now active, are the ones
which burned part of Carpinteria Sat
urday night, and has come over the
foothills lo Santa Ana canyon, within
a few miles of Ventura; another fire
in Gridley canyon, and a third in
Casitas pass.
Probably a score of small ranch
houses have been burned and hun

U. S. SOLDIERS FIND
FRENCH LIFE MEL
Enlisted Men With Pershing
Experiencing Foreign Habits
That Other Americans
Will Encounter.
Paris, June 18. The American en
listed men who came to France with
Major General Pershing are having
experience with foreign habits, lan
guages and rations which indicate
what the main body of American
troops will find when it arrives.
The Americans are quartered at the
Pepiniere barracks, a huge quadrilat
eral on Place Stanghtine, one of the
central locations of Paris. There are
housed troops from all the entente
allied nations, including Russians,
Serbians, Belgians, Roumanians, Ca
nadians, Australians and New Zea
landers, with sixty American troopers,
engineers and automobile drivers
among the latest arrivals. The vast
central court presents a strange sight
in the mingling of the uniforms and
flags of the various nations.
Each contingent has its own drills
and its own living and eating quarters,
but when the men are off duty the
court is crowded with the soldiers,
speaking many languages and at
tempting to make themselves under
stood with signs.
On Military Rations.
The American troops are on French
military rations, which they like bet
ter than American or British rations,
for in addition to an abundance of
well cooked food they embrace the
regular French allowance of wine,
which, however, may be discontinued
when the American rations are estab
lished. Dinner is served in courses with
plenty of meat and vegetables. The
meatless days do not apply to the
military, as the French policy is to
limit the restrictions on meat, sugar,
etc., to civilians, in order that the
fighting force may be kept up to the
full measure of energy.
The sleeping quarters are plain and
comfortable, with good beds, clean
sheets and ample santitary arrange
ments. The Americans are on a regu
lar schedule, with reveille at 6 o'clock
in the morning, breakfast at 7, inspec
tion at 8 and then a round of duty,
concluding with taps at 10 p. m.

Colonel John G. Maher has re

ment to leave today for duty in
the officers' corps of the quartermas

Colonel Maher is president of the

months moved into very commodious
quarters in a building owned by the

of the present move for some time.
Colonel Maher, while ordered to re
port at Omaha, does not know what
disposition will be made of him far
ther than that. He saw service of a
serious nature in the Third Nebraska
regiment during the Spanish-American
war and has been active in the
work of enlistments since the present
war started.

4 Omaha "John Smiths"
Registered at Bluffs
They're hiding out over in Coun
cil Bluffs I Who? Why the big fel
lows of Omaha, and a whole lot
more of 'em who are not so big, for
fear they may have to testify in the
police graft investigation.
An umana tat man wancea into
the office of the Grand hotel and
complacently wrote across the
register:
"John Smith, Chicago."
"I'm sorry sir, but we have three
John Smiths of Chicago, all from
Omaha registered already and we
haven't a spare room."
Since the Maloney-Sutton hear
ing has been in progress, it is said
more than fifty Omaha "fugitives"
have registered at the Iowa hostelry
so that they could not be sub
poenaed as witnesses without re
quisition papers.
"Business certainly is good," the
clerk remarked to the fourth Mr.
Smith as he registered under an
other name.
GEN. CHANG HSUN
DICTATOROF CHINA
Insurgent Leader Dominates
President Li Yuan Hung;
Said to Favor Manchu
Restoration.
Peking, China, June 18. General
Chang Hsun now is dictator, Presi
dent Li Yuan Hung being little more
than a figurehead. The insurgents
arc calling a convention at Tien Tsin
for the purpose of forming a provis

tator. General Chang Hsun's motives are
obscure, but it is believed he is at
tempting lo obtain from the former
leaders of the Manchu dynasty an
agreement for restoration of the em
pire. He has urg-d the president to
form a cabinet as soon as possible,
suggesting that a provisional council
similar to that in Russia be estab
lished and that a declaration of war
against Germany then be made.
Southei., leaders who are congre
gating in Canton, assert they will fight
for maintenance of constitutional
rights.

CENTRAL EUROPE IS

Four and One-Half Per Oenl
of Our Population Native
Born to Our Present
Enemies.
Washington, June 18. The natives
of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bul
garia, and Turkey now residing in
the United States aggregate approx
mately 4,662,000,' or about Ayi per
cent of the total population of the
country.
The foregoing total is announced
by Director Sam L. Rogers, of the
Bureau of the Census, Department of
Commerce, as the result of a calcula
tion based on the census figures of
1910, the reports of the Bureau of
Immigration for the period between
1910 and the present time, and the
estimated mortality during that pe
riod. Although it is not possible by
this method to determine with abso
lute exactness the number of natives
of the countries named now living in
the United States, it is believed that
the results obtained represent a rea
sonably close approximation to the
facts.
These 4,622,000 foreigners are dis
tributed, according to country ot birth,
as follows:
Germany 319.000
Auatrla 1.37S.000
Hungary 731.000
Turkey 1H8.000
Bulgaria
It is Impossible to say whether the
proportions of aliens that is, per
sons who have not applied for
naturalization certificates among
these foreigners are approximately
the same in 1917 as they were in
1910; but, assuming this to be the
case, the number of male aliens 21
years of age and over included in the
above total would be approximately
964.000, or about 3.2 per cent of the
total number of male inhabitants of
the United States 21 years of age and
over. The distribution of these
aliens, according to country of birth,
would be as follows:
Oarmany 136,000
Austria 447,000
Hunaary aso.ooo
Turkfy 83,000
Bulgaria 8.000
The proportion of aliens among
male Germans twenty-one years of
aee and over is very much smaller
than the corresponding proportions
for the other countries named, Rav
ing been only a little more than 11
per cent in 1910, as against approxi
mately 63 per cent for Austrians, 74
per cent tor Hungarians, oi per cent
for Turks, and nearly 90 per cent for
Bulgarians.

SPANISH SITUATION
GROWS MORE TENSE
Interior Unrest, Coupled Witt
Outside Conditions, Gives
Black Outlook for Bour
bon Kingdom.
Taris, June 18. Some light is
thrown upon the present situation in
Spain, which has been the cause of
misgivings recently, by a special cor
respondent of the Petit Parisien, who
has been making an investigation
there. He wires the following sum
mary of the situation which made the
position of the late cabinet untenable
and presents an acute problem for
the new ministry:
First of all, the situation in Cate
lonia (a district of about 12.400 square
miles in the northeast of Spain, with
a population of nearly 2,000,000, whose
capital is Barcelona) is critical. The
inhabitants are aroused against the
Spanish government and are agitating
insistently for complete independence.
One faction openly declares in a
Barcelona newspaper that it will obey
no law not passed by Catalonians for
Catalonians, and demands independ
ence at any price.
Economic Situation Tense.
Aside from this locil situation, the
correspondent finds that the economic
state of affairs in general demands
speedy action by the cabinet.
Strikes are under discussion by all
railroad employes and most of the In
dustrial workers. The cost of living
has advanced 15 to 25 per cent in the
last three months, and now the poor
can no longer endure the strain.
The supply of coal is so scanty that
it is almost impossible to operate
trains. Stagnation of the export trade,
owing to the submarine warfare, is re
sulting in growing irritation.
Finally, there is the external situa
tion, which everywhere is recogniied
as grave for Spain, and which the
correspondent says is made infinitely
more troublesome by espionage, Gei
man intimidation and the German
press, which has wounded and an
tagonized Spanish pride.
Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the corresDondent wires Spain be
lieves confidently the new premier will
be able to find a solution.

ASKS BLESSING ON
ALLIESAND ENEMY
Former Omaha Boy, Preaching
at the First Presbyterian
Church, Denounces Ger
man War Prayers.
"May the blessing of God be upon
us and upon our nation and upon our
allies and upon our enemies."
In these unusual words Rev. H. L.
Bowman pronuonced the benediction
at the First Presbyterian church Sun
day morning. The benediction
was in accordance with the command
of Christ to "love your enemies."
And it was in accordance with Rev.
Mr. Bowman's sermon on "Prayer
in War Time." He made a plea for
more prayer and he denounced the
(rightfulness which is part of the
German war time prayers.
Kev, Mr. Bowman is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Bowman of Omaha,
lie grew up here and received his ed
ucation here. After spending three
years in Syria he returned to Omaha,
joncd t lie First Presbyterian church
and studied for the ministry. He has
accepted a call to the Woodlawn
Park Presbyterian church, Chicago.
He took his text from Psalms 20:7,
"Some trust in chariots, and some in
horses: but we will remember the
name of the Lord our God."
Should Mobilise Prayer.
"We are mobilizing men and
money and the Red Cross," said Rev.
Mr. Bowman, "but are we not neg
lecting the mobilization of prayer.
I do not underestimate the value of
the other things but t3- value of
prayer is beyond anv of them. The
children of Israel placed reliance in
the l.nrd ot Hosts, 1 heir records
are full of their pfavers to God. the
God of battle. We seem to have for;
gotten the Psalms and to think only
of the Psalms that tell of peace and
tranquility.
"Tne moral force of prayer is rec
ognized by military men as a great
power in winning battles. We are
engaged in a great moral struggle
and we must h.ive no spiritual slack
ers The greatest battles are not
fought in the trenches hut in the
hearts of the soldiers. And in the
silent rooms where millions wrestle
with God in prayer, there is also the
source of victory.
"A paraphrase of the Lord's prayer
is said to have been written by a
clergyman in Germany. This para
phrase bristles with hate. It asks
God to "forgive every bullet that
misses the mark," etc. It is a mon
strous prayer, the prayer of a savage.
for God is still a God ot love.
And when we pray in war time we
must pray with love in our hearts,
love not only for our own country,
but love for the people of our
enemies' countries. That was Christ's
everybody store"

of everybody to make this campaign

When You Feel Tired,
do Appetite, Headsslie
.(By W. M. GRANTHER. M. D.)
If your wife tells you that you are
"grouchy" and out-of-sorts, be thank
ful for the suggestion and set to work
to get your liver busy, for it it more
than likely that its inactivity is at the
bottom of your trouble. Don't blame
your liver for not doing its work I
You have undoubtedly been giving it
too much to do. You may have oc
casional headaches, feel tired, no ap
petite and coated tongue, and thii
condition biay lead up to other
things. At such times you are the
easiest prey for colds, grip or the
disease germs of malaria, typhoid,
the deadly phthisis, or the many ills
which carry off o many of our citi
zens. My advice is, give up alcohol, tea
and coffee. If you must drink some
thing with your meals let it be a cup
of hot water. Begin in the morning
with pint of hot water with a half
lemon squeezed in it, if possible, and
drink it a half hour or lesa before
breakfast
Take a few minutes of bending
exercise and breathing in the morn
ing. Walk in the outdoor air. Occa
sionally, aay once a week, taike a good
laxative, one that Is entirely vege
table. A good one is that made up
of the extract of May-apple, vege
table calomel, and jnlap, and can be
had at every drug atore, for it has
been sold for nearly 50 years as Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
If ynu are occasionally troubled
with rheumatic pains or lumbago,
pain in the back, toes or muscles
of the body, this is due to uric acid
stored in the system. The liver and
kidneys do not act properly. For such
a person, I advise taking Anuric
(double strength) three times daily
for a week or two. This Anurie
throws out the uric acid which accu
mulates, and if talcen occasionally
will prevent or cure rheumatism and
gout There is no difficulty in ob
taining Anuric at any drug atore.
