them to remain in this country with
out attempting to send information
? military character to their gov
ernment was made clear.
Schaafhausen Goes First.
Among the first to go will be Hein-
rich Schaafhausen, formerly attached
to the German embassy, but left be
hind by Count von Bernstorff and
since atached to the department of
German interests of the Swiss lega
tion. In addition to Schaafhausen
there is a long train of clerks and
servants at least they have served
in such capacities in this country
although this government has no
means of knowing definitely what the
exact status of most of them is with
the German government. There is
ground for belief that some of them
are persons of more importance to
the German intelligence system.
Dr. George Barthelme, the author
of the much discussed dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette at the time diplo
matic relations were severed, Mill is
in Washington, but is required to re
port to certain government officials
in person twice a week.
Although the bulk of the German
and Austrian embassy staffs departed
with their ambassadors, two of Ger
many's allies still have their represen
tatives here.
Turks and Bulgarians.
Abdul Hak Hussein Bey, charge of
the Turkish embassy, pleaded with
the State department rot to insist on
his departure. His wife is an English
woman and on the ground that her
health might be affected by going to
Constantinople the bey has been per
mitted to remain here. The Bulga
rian minister also still is at his lega
tion. There are many indications that the
government is taking steps to tighten
the spy net and make even more diffi
cult the getting of military informa
tion to Germany.
When the government agreed to
allow the transfer of many former
German employes to the Swiss lega
tion and consulates there was no state
of war between the United States and
Germany. But the declaration of war
and the knowledge that Germany
maintains an efficient spy system here
have changed the government's atti
tude. The Grimm-Hoffman affair in
Switzerland, in which a member of
the Swiss federal council was forced
to resign after being discovered as
a German intermediary, seeking to

Is' Elected President of the
Omaha-Decatur Missouri
River Navigation
Company.
A. G. Warren of the McCord
Brady company of Omaha was yes
terday elected president of the
Omaha-Decatur Missouri River Nav
igation com pi: at the meeting of
the directors of the newly incorpor
ated company
Hugh Gallup of Decatur, elevator
man and live stock shiDDer of that
place, was made vice president.
W. A. Ellis, assistant commissioner
of the Commercial club of Omaha,
was made secretary-treasurer.
The company now owns and oper
ates the Elk, a big steamboat which
carries cargoes irfr seventy-five
Omaha job'ng houses on its course
up-stream, and brings down loads of
corn, wheat and live stock regularly
on its return down-slream.
The company is authorized to own
and operate boats, to own, buy, sell
and lease real estate; to acquire and
develop terminals tor shipping and
receiving purposes.
To Push Shipping.
The Missouri river shipping will be
pushed by this new company, and if
it is totina to be sufficiently profita
ble more bo:'s will be added.
The Julius F. Silber, also which
operates between Omaha and Deca
tur, is a privately owned boat, owned
and operated by Captain Neff.
The Elk has been chartered by the
Boy Scouts of Omaha to carry the
troops ot scouts to .Lake Ouinne
baugh, south of Decatur. It will
leave Omaha about July 16. The
boys go there for an encampment of
a week. Scout Executives English
and some of his executive council vis
ited Decatur some days ago and com
pleted arrangements for this encamp
ment.
Has Process to Keep Fresh
Roasting Ears Year Round
Fresh roasting ears the year round
that is what L. L. Goodrich, 1678
Locust street, says he can furnish. If
he cannot furnish all that may be de
sired he has a process whereby per
sons may preserve their own roast
ing ears for use any time of the year.
Mr. Goodrich has for five years
been experimenting with his process,
and now claims to have it pretty well
perfected. He says green corn, or
roasting ears can be preserved with
all their freshness and original flavor
by means of his process. Last year
he says he put up five barrels of green
corn on the cob, with the husks even
intact. He says he did not open the
barrels until mid-winter and then
found the corn delicious and fresh.
He furnished many of his friends with
roasting ears for Christmas.
Mr. Goodrich uses no chemicals or
solution of any kind. His process con
sists of a system of wrapping and
freezing. He intends to put up and
preserve a great deal more green corn
this year than last, providing he can
find suitable cold storage room.
Three Persons Injured
By Fast-Flying Motors
Little John Christopls, age 5, living
with his parents at 622 South Thir
teenth street, while ' playing in the
street in front of his home, was struck
by a motorcycle being driven by Wal
ter Bucher, 4528 South Fortieth street.
He sustained a three-inch scalp
wound, but was otherwise uninjured.
He was taken to his home.
Sidney England, 2767 Cuming street,
stepped from a 'street car in front of
his home, instead of at the intersec
tion, and was struck by an auto truck
being driven by G. A. Baker at 5:30
last night. He was carried into his
home, where it was found that besides
a slight scalp wound and slightly
bruised legs he was uninjured.
Edgar F. Pixler, age 14, living at
2644 Dodge street, sustained a badly
sprained wrist last night when he was
struck by an automobile near his
home. He was riding a bicycle at the
time, which was completely demol
ished. Witnesses say the automobile
was being driven on the wrong side of
the street. The driver did not stop.
influence Russia towards peace, had
a deep effect here in convincing of
ficials that at least some members of
neutral governments were using their
positions to bring pressure on the bel
ligerent powers. It is not desired to
increase the pbssibility of such work
through the added pressure brought
by former German officials still in of
fice here. Moreover, America's rela
tions with some of the neutrals have
become delicate through the export
control provisions and Germany could
easily use its position to increase tnc
tion there.
May Censor Mails.
The cleaning out of former Ger
man officials here is but the first step
in, a systematic attempt to root the
spy system out in this country. State
department officials say that an iron
bound censorship will be established
on all outgoing cables, in line with
President Wilson's proclamation, at
the earliest hour that the machinery
can be built up. They also are most
urgently considering a mail censor
ship, beginning at first with all coun
tries not now covered by the British,
and as soon as possible including that
as well.
Dr. Beck Says Hot Sun
and Heat Weaken the Eyes
Tells How to Strengthen Eyesight 50
In One Week's Time in Many Instances
A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled and
Ue at Horn.
New York, N. Y. Do you wear glasses!
Are jrou a victim of eyestrain or other eye
weakness? If so, you will be clad to know
that, according to Dr. Beck, there is real
hope for yon. He says that exposure to sun,
smoke, dust or wind often produces eye
strain, and people living in warm climates
should frequently bathe the eyes and be
careful to protect them from extreme light.
This prescription will prove of great value
to many eye sufferers. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored through the principle of this won
derful free prescription. One man says, after
trying it: "I was almost blind: could not
see to read at all. Now I can read every
thing without my glasses and my eyes do
not water any more. At night they would
pain me dreadfully, now they feel fine all
the time. It was like a miracle to me." A
lady who used it says : "The atmosphere
seemed hazy with or without glasses, but
after using this prescription for fifteen days
everything seemed clear. I can even read
fine print without glasses." It is believed
that thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time and mul
titudes more will be able to strengthen their
eyes so as to be. spared the trouble and ex-
Jpense.of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles

benefited by following the simple rules. Here
is the prescription: Go to any active drug
store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto Tablets.
Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a
glass of water and allow to dissolve. With
this liquid bathe the eyes two to four times
daily. You shonld notice your eyes clear up
perceptibly right from the start and in
flammation will quickly disappear. If your
eyes are bothering you even a little, take
steps to save them now before it is too late.
Many hopelessly blind might have been sav
ed if they had cared for their eyea in time.
