"Our city, in common with the en
tire nation, is sending the flower of
its manhood abroad to sacrifice their
lives that democracy and freedom
may live, and it is proper that they
should go as welt prepared and cared
lor as possible.
"The Omaha chapter of the Red
Cross is in need of funds to carry out
its work of mercy. It is proper that
it should have the solidified support
of the entire community. . The Omaha
Hotel Men's association has under
taken to provide a means of raising
funds for the Omaha Red Cross
chapter's ambulance fund, by showing
actual pictures taken at the now
famous battle of the Ancre, to be
nresentcd at the Brandeis theater fou
times daily from July 16 to July 22.
These onclurcs were made ty onicia

to Omaha t tremendous cost. Every
one who has seen them declares them
to be the only authentic pictures of
actual battle ever known. All ot the
money earned through them is to be
devoted, to Red Cross efforts for our
own boys. It is therefore a patriotic
duty of everyone in Omaha to see
these picture.
"In connection with this picture
the Omaha hotel men are planning

that the council had not found him
guilty of the Chadron conspiracy.
During the discussion of the Sut
ton case, when the council was pass
ing on the evidence, the mayor re
marked: "I think Sutton charged
Maloney falsely and I think he sent
that woman to the detective associa
tion. It was shown that he had known
her for i onths before that affair oc
curred." Butler and Kuget, by their vote, ex
pressed the belief that Sutton justly
accused Maloney of having been in
volved in the conspiracy to blackmail
case.
Sutton if Present
Sutton was present when the coun-
1 announced the "findings, but
Maloney was not observed in the
city hall. He left word at the police
station that as soon as any message
was received of his dismissal from
the service, that his personal effects
should be packed and sent to his
home. Within half an hour alter the
council's action was made known, po
lice station attaches complied with
the captain's request.
Captain Maloney has been under a
ninety-day suspension for calling Su
perintendent Kugel a "dirty little rat,"
during the progress of his hearing be
fore the city council. That suspension
would have expired October 1. He
served five years as head of the de
tective department and was appointed

During that special service he was

vestigating work was to locate boot

not knowing that he was Kugeis

SENATE CONTINUES
FOOD
All Action on Administration
Measure Set Over Until Mon- I
day; Final Vote Ex
pected Saturday.
(Br Associated Front.)
Washington, July 15. The senate
finished its fourth week of debate on
the administration food control bill,
while leaders conferred upon amend
ments which' they hope will be con
ceded general support.
Little progress was made on the bill
Saturday in the senate, all action on
amendments going over until next
week with an agreement to take a
final vote on the measure next Satur
day. Senators Stone, Williams and
Hollis, democrats, made speeches sup
porting the bill and Senator France,
republican, of Maryland, in opposi
tion. Prospects of peace were dis
cussed by Senators Stone and Wil
liams, with both declaring that com
plete defeat of Germany is required.
, While perfunctory debate pro
ceeded with less than a dozen sen
ators present, Majority Leader Mar
tin conferred with his colleagues on
amendments to compromise the vari
ous disputes. Republicans as well as
democrats participated.
Sore Items Eliminated.
Those present were said to be in
agreement upon eliminating steel,
iron, copper, cotton and all other
products except foods, feeds and fuels
tne original oDjeci oi ine legisla
tion from the bill. They also agreed
to consider the extension of govern
ment licenses, and Senator Hollis was
chosen to draft a new provision for
food administration. A small board
subject to the president's authority
and with their decision subject to his
approval may be substituted for the
provision for an individual food ad
ministrator. The conference will be
resumed Monday. Senators prominent
in opposition were not invited to to
day's conference.
Senator Kenyon and many, other
senators are disposed to insist on ex
tending government control to steel
and iron products and the final result
is considered still in doubt
No doubt exists regarding the con
stitutionality of this measure, Sen
ator Hollis said, supporting the bill.
fn order to win a war a nation must
have "a strong army and a powerful
navy and a tranquil people," the New
Hampshire senator declared.
Senator r- ranee said tne Dili is "wnoi
v destructive in nature." He declared
that legislation should be stimulative
and not restrictive," and if the pres
ent bill is passed, it will retard the
strength of the nation at a time when
it is most needed.
"I believe it wouli be a blessing
to the people in the American cities
for wheat to co to S3 or $4 a bushel
between, now. and Qtcober." Senator
France said. He declared this would
stimulate the planting of an increased
acreage by the farmers and declared
there should be a 2,000,000,000 bushel
crop next year, which would ultimate-
iv reduce tne once. -

(CobUd4 rnn Fr On.)
fronted officials, when the allotment
of quotas came to be figured out To
aeh state and territory in orooor-
tion to its population, a part ot
Hawaii's surplus was awarded. : In
New York more than 200 credits were
allowed and 200 men of those register
ed there will not be called to the col
ors with the first army, because of the
size of the National uuard main
tained hv Hawaii.
Another fact develooea today m
connection with the allotment ot
credits is that the War department
has furnished to each governor a ful
list of war recruits enlisted in the
regular army since April 1 and who
claim that state as home.
Credrts for enlistments in the reg
ular army were given on the basis
of the place claimed as home by the
recruits, no matter wnere ne en
listed.
. Conflicting Claims.
Conflicting claims have been made
by various states as to the credits
they were to be allowed based ort the
assumption that place ot enlistment,
not place of residence, governed tne
distribution.. No additional informa
tion as to the date or exact method
of the drawing was obtainable today.
The method orobably will be an
nounced on the eve of the drawing
and that will follow immediately up
on receiots of official advices that the
last local board has completed its or
ganization work and filed its lists o(
numbered registrants with the state
authorities. There are nearly 1,000
districts to be heard from: but. indi
cations now are that all will have re

NO WAR INSURANCE

Fears Spies May Gather
Information.
(By Associated PreM.)
Washington, July 15. President
Wilson Saturday issued a proclama
tion prohibiting German insurance
companies from doing further busi
ness to marine or war risk insurance
in the United States and forbidding
American insurance companies from
reinsuring with them. Payment on
existing contracts is suspended dur
ing the war except in case of. vessels
now at sea.
The president s proclamation con
tains toe first omc:al acknowledg
ment that valuable information may
be getting to Germany through Ger
man insurance companies.
"The nature of jnarine and war
risk insurance is such," it says, "that
those conducting it must of necessity
be in touch with the movements of
ships and cargoes and it has been
considered by the government of
great importance that this informa
tion should not be obtained by alien
enemies."

"Of course we like it. That is why

assurance. "No, we seldom get sea

The Mere Woman gared again at

She thought of the Nebraska breexes

And she besran to feel a little Sea

and her glances to earth suddenly.
"Tell me a little about the observa

"With oleasure. You see, they are
observing trench firing. About four
miles from here we have stretcnea
strips of canvas on the ground to rep-,

the idea.
"Yes, of course, you understand,"
said the lieutenant, relief in his face
at this evidence of intelligence.
Encouraged by his approval, the
Mere Woman returned to the idea
that teased her.
"I'm sorry, but I really didn't un

hastily. "Come over here Smith and

The just-landed sergeant, taken by

stammer, "H-how did it feel up
there?"
"Just-just as usual," replied the em
barrassed sergeant.
"Would you mind telling me alout

U. S. PLAYS HOST TO
DEPORTED. W. W.'S
Federal Troopers Guard Men
Driven From Bisbee Who Are
Encamped Outside of
Columbus, N. M.
(By AMOciatrd Prcu.) -
Columbus, N. M., July 15. The
United States is host to Ari
zona's deported miners, mill men and
small merchants who are encamped
on the desert half way between
Columbus and the Mexican border. .
A small city of canvas has sprung
up on the site of the Mexican refugee
camps established by General Per
shing, and 1,140 men were sleeping on
beds last night for the first time since
Wednesday at Bisbee. They came
here early today under escort of
United States cavalry.
All afternoon the men have been
working in a blistering sun setting up
tents, digging pits for field kitchens
and hauling fire wood. It was de
clared to be the hottest day of the
summer here and many men were
forced to quit and rest in the shade
of the khaki tents which were erected
under the direction of soldiers.
The first government rations were
issued to the men for their supper,
consisting of canned beef, canned to
matoes and bread. Tomorrow at
breakfast they will receive a ration of
coffee, the first they have had since
leaving Bisbee.
Under the direction of the army of
ficers and soldiers an orderly, well
policed camp was established out of
the chaos which followed the arrival
of the tired and travel stained men
shortly after noon.
Now that the men have had settled
for them the problem of where they
were to go, they are beginning to
consider when they will be returned
to Bisbee, where they have their
families, homes and many ot them
business affairs. They are almost
universally agreed they will be ready
to return to Bisbee when accom
panied by United States soldiers and
not before. , . .

say they have orders only to feed and
cafe tor the wants of the men. The
exiles are not being treated as prison
ers, but are being guarded by sol
diers, with side arms, and no one is
permitted to enter the camp without
a pass.

uh after the refreshments and Grave
three hearty cheers for the women of
Grand Island. The company has been
on guard duty at several, bridges and
at the Union Pacific shops since about
April 1. Captain Shaplan -said today
that not a single case of attempt to
damage or even of a suspicion of such
a case had in all of that time been
reported.

Urge Uncle Sam
Take Tri-State
Canal Project
(Continued From Faga One.)
which is a continuation of the Tri
State canal.
The government could conserve the
water by enforcing economy in its
use throughout the valley and being
now practically one-fifth o ner by
reason of its contract for the carriage
of water to the Bridgeport project,
good business would sanction assump
tion of authority over the canal.
No Evidence Entailed.
Mr. Raymond pointed out that the
government would not be ' too?ie
cent of expense. The district would
pay e erv penny of cost attachin j,
even permitting the government to
collect its share of the overhead ex
pense. Attorney General Reed spoke brief
ly on the state's interest He declared
the seepage question was growing
critical and that a comprehensive sys
tem of drainage, covering the entire
North Platte valley should be de
vised. He believed the consideration
offered by the farmersunder the Tri-
i state project, was ample and that the
advantages to be accrued by the own
ers of the lands should have consid
eration. ,
Contract Approval Urged.
Senator Norris and Representatives
Sloan and Reavis- urged the approval
of the contract, which was entered
into at Omaha in 1915 between the
representatives of the irrigation dis
trict and the 'Tri-State landholders,
providing that if the United States
should take over and operate the
Farmers' Irrigation District canal, as
it is now known certain concessions
would be made by the bondholders
as to a reduction in interest.
The cancellation of certain bonds
and the adoption of the government
plan for payment of the outstanding
bonds.
Director Davis said the manage
ment of the canal would be very use

port project.
