Bournes Make Effort to Comj
Out Ahead, But Wiches
Go Them One
Better.
' It took ten innings to decide the
draft-day battle between the Rourkes
and the Wiches, but the latter finally
tucked the game under belts and left
the champs defeated.
Errors played, as usual, an impor
tant part in the game. Ta's Athletes
committed four of these, while the
Wiches didn't bungle once. Omaha
hit safely nine times one better than
Wichita, and both sides were even on
walks.
Pa's bunch made a valiant attempt
to take the game out of the fire in the
tenth. After Cooney had flicd out to
Jlcuther, Ben Shaw, the old reliable
pincher, hitting for , C. Thompson,
singled, and Nicholson drew a walk,
Krug forced Nick at second for the
second out and Shag hit an easy
roller to Koestner. After all, the
fight wasn't so valiant, but it was the
best Omaha could do.
Arnold Leuschen started the fray
for the locals, but after the visitors
had acquired three runs in the fifth,
on three singles and a walk, he was
jerked in favor of Cecil Thompson.
1 Otto Nye pulled off some spactac
ular work at third for the Rourkes.
In the fourth inning he grabbed a
hot one off Coy's bat with his bare
mit that seemed like a sure hit. In
the fifth he knocked down another
sizr.ler that made the crowd sit up
and take notice.
The same teams will meet again
this afternoon and twice tomorrow

Bennington Farmer ,
, Swindled on Horse Race
Henry, Gandker, a wealthy fanner
living near Bennington, Neb., knows
more concerning horse races than lie
did two davs aeo. but his education
cost him exactly $3,075, according to
the story he told to the police.
A telephone call from Bennington
late last-night informed the Omaha
officers that confidence men had swin
died Gandker. $3,075 worth Tuesday,
according to a banker who- made the
renort
The banker said that a man giving
the name of Milter visited Gandker
at Bennington and informed him that
by coming to Omaha he could sell
his farm. Gandker accompanied the
psuedo real estate dealer to the city,
where he met another mart name un
known at some, hotel, the name, of
which the farmer does not remember,
There $500 was turned over as first
navmcnt. V ,
Another man, who said he was J.
Hallen of Kansas City, appeared with
a "sure tip" on a horse race. Gandker
bet the $500 just received on the race
and put up an additional $75 that he
had in his pocket. He lost.
In order to "even the score he
drove back to ,Bennington with his
new friends, drew $3,000 and returned
to Omaha. He says that the $3,000
went the way of the $575. When the
last of the money was gone he re
turned t Bennington.
. Wednesday, afternoon he told his
banker the story. The banker drew
the conclusion that Gandker had been
swindled and communicated with the
police. The officers are looking for
"Miller, Hallen & Co."

St. Joseph, Mo., July 20. (Special
Telegram.) Hugh McDaniels, a true
"native son,", for he is a full-blooded

fortune to strike oil on his govern
ment land and now has twenty full
fledged oil wells in operation. He
gave $50,000 to the Red Cross, but the
gift was returned by the government

the latter's consent before the dona
tion could be accepted.
The shooting of McDaniels was
wonderful and his work was followed
by two-thirds of the spectators who
watched the tournament snots.

NEW TRACK LAID
TO FORT CROOK
Both the Missouri Pacific and
Burlington Are Preparing
, to Handle the Army
v Business.
Orders that 'have been received by
local officials of the Missouri Pacific,
sent from the general headquarters
in St. Louis, are taken to mean that
Uncle Sam contemplates making Fort
Crook an army port of considerable
importance, and that within a short
time.
Orders have come to immediately
increase the facilities for the storage
of cars. And following the instruc
tions a large number of men have
been set at work. Considerable of the
construction equipment on the double
track work on the Omaha Belt Line
has been sent to Fort Crook. Grading
for a new storage track, connecting
up with the mam line has been com
menced and work will progress night
and day until the track is laid and
ready for use.
Third Hill Line.
The Burlington that has two lines
laid to the fort grounds has com
menced laying a third track, it being
understood that this is for the storage
of cars coming in off the main line
running south from Omaha.
Quantities of provisions and sup
plies from the commissary warehouse
inOmaha are being sent by rail to
Fort Crook, ajl of which railroad men
take to mean that the post is to be
occupied by a considerable force with
in a few days at the longest.

BELGIANS STARYED
; iNMORTURED
Deported Civilians Forced to
Work Under Hardest Con
ditions and Often Cru
, , elly Punished.
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Havre, June 20. The Belgian gov
ernment has received from various
sources evidence, which accords in
every detail, proving that deported
Belgian civilians are subjected sys
tematically to mistreatment to bring
them to forced labor for the German
army.
This evidence exposes insufficient
nourishment, cruel punishment, brutal
intimidation and hard conditions of
labor, under which a great many of
the deported civilians succumb while
a larger proportion return so reduced
and weakened that they are incapable
of physical effort. t
Rations Are Light.
This is the regimen of the camp of
Soltau described by one of the men
who had been interned there and who
succeeded in escaping:
In the morning a third of a' liter of
a beverage, resembling coffee, but
seeming to have been made of acorns,
at noon a half liter of soup, generally
made of beets, but sometimes of po
tatoes; in. the evening a fifth of a
liter of porridge made of cornmeal
or barley; the ration of bread is about
half pound per day; it is made of a
mixture of cornmeal and rye.
The interned are never given meat,
fish or cheese. In certain camps the
evening meal was suppressed alto
gether and even the other meager
repasts were reduced for those who
refused to work for the Germans.
Besides hunger,' the principal meas
ures resorted to in order bring the
deported men to submission were the
"supplice of the post."
Stoutly fettered to posts the men
are exposed to heat or cold, accord
ing to the season, for days together,
during which the food rations are
reduced systematically until they
reach the proportionsof a half ration
only for two 'days' subsistence.
Torture .Causes Pneumonia.
; Another cruelty practiced upon the
deported to force them to work is
the "supplice of the tank," or a severe
application of the Turkish bath. Sev
eral witnesses have confirmed this
fact, among them the son of a manu
facturer of the region of Antwerp,
who with several of his comrades
was shut up in a small room heated
to a very high temperature.' There
was only room in the place for them
to stand erect and so crowded they
were scarcely able to turn. They
were left there twenty-four hours.
Then they were led to a factory in
the neighborhohod, where they were
asked it they wouia go 10 wortc. upon
their refusal they were taken to a
field under military escort, divested
of their overcoats, shoes, scarfs and
hats or caps and exposed in a snow
storm an entire day and night with
nnttiinir tn eat nr rlrinW and under the
absolute prohibition to . make the
,. , . ... C ... f tV.m
Sllgmesi movement, ouiuc ui "-"
after a few hours
of this exposure and all of them
were lateen to mc iiuBjmai
ing day.
Executiont Simulated.
A number of witnesses call atten
f,nn n the fart that freauentlv croups
of deported men have been the sub
ject ot a simulated execution, uic
times by a firing squad and some
times bymachine guns, in order to
overcome their resistance and impress
their comrades. :
There is also another means of
constraint used upon the deported
in the form of punishment camps,
where the regimen is still more se
vere than in other internment camps
and where the deported are forced
to work in the marshes, often m most
excessive cold weather, dressed m
nothing but trousers, shirts and
wooden shoes, without food an entire
day.
Some of the deported are sent to
agricultural centers, where, accord
ing to the evidence of a man from
r...n..i whi esranrd from Ger
many, most of the victims return so
enteeoiea mai "
them to be transported to the sta
tion in carts.
v Corporal Punishment Frequent.
Corporal punishment, the form of
which is left to the discretion of the
jailers, are frequently employed, such
as blows with the butt of a -rifle,
c . A ...-nintr (nr nrriods UO to two
uiiiiuig r
hours without stopping under menace
of the bayonet, in addition to the
practice of tying men to the post
from all tne evtuencc u
certain that the mortality among men
chierterl to these different forms of
mistreatment is . alarming. - In one
camp from two to tnree prisoners
were found dead from exhaustion
every day. . -
Powers of Big Guns :
- And Their Long Kange
T ie nnt raw to understand what
the power of a gun really, is its pen
etrating and destructive power. W hat
we call a 15-inch gun which means
one whose muzzle or hollow part is
fifteen inches in diameter will hurl
a shell right through a plate or wall

Figures Prove How Embargo On
Exports Will Conserve Food Supply
Washington, July 12. Indication
of the saving in foodstuffs which will
result from the application of the em
bargo on exports, which soon is to
be in effect,' was shown by fig
ures of a government statistician. The
figures prove that from 17,686,000 to
34,783,000 persons could have been
fed scientifically for a year on the
total amount of foodstuffs exported
from the United States from July 1,
1916, to April 1, 1917.
On a basis of 118 grammes of
protein, 500 grammes of carbohydrate
and fifty-six grammes of fat per day
(Voit's standard), the exports of food
stuffs of domestic origin from the
United States from July, 1916, to
March, 1917,. inclusive, would supply
a balanced ration, for 17,686,000 people
for one year, besides leaving a surplus
of 2,284,000,000 pounds of carbohy
drate and 429,000,000 pounds of fat.
On a basis of sixty grammes of pro
thick seven miles from fhe muzzle.
The oower of the very largest land
guns ever made the German howit
zers, or 16.5-inch guns is such that
one of their missiles cracks open a
steel and concrete fort as if it were
a nut. '
There are two classes of guns-
naval guns and army or land guns.
Because they can be manipulated
more easily than those of a ship, land
guns are the heavier. From eight to
ten miles it the greatest distance that
a gunner can cover auccessfully at
sea. The largest rrVval gun is the
fifteen-inch English gun on the fa
mous superdreadnoughts, and the
largest land gun is the German how
itzer. Of the two the naval gun fires
a shell weighing- over half a ton,
while the other fires a projectile a ton
in weight. But the new giant six-teen-inch
guns of the United States,
defending the Panama canal and New
York at Sandy Hook, shoot projec
tiles weighing 2,370 pounds, which is
over a ton. These immense steel
guns can sink a ship before it has
really come into sight on the hori
zon, the location of the battleshin
having been determined by airplane
or tower. Popular Science. .

Omaha Firm to Sell Lots
. In Famous Hill Estate
The Payne Investment company of
Omaha has just been authorized by
the heirs of the late James J. Hill,
to dispose of the famous Hill estate
in Minnesota. The 20,000 acres is to
be divided into farms and sold to
farmers instead of being held in the
hands of the empire builder's chil
dren. It is valued. at more than $1,
000,000. Mr.. Hill used to say that every
settler in a new country is worth $300
to. the railroad annually. The heirs
are carrying out the idea of then
father, in that they want to sell the
land o farmers. It is stipulated that
doctors, lawyers, bankers, merchants,
and others who might want to buy
for purely speculative purposes are
barred from the sale.
The ground is to be parceled out
into farms of 160 to 320 acres each,
except for a few .larger tracts.' Mr.
Hill bought this land more fhan
thirty years ago when he had the pick
of all the land in the . famous Red
River valley. During his life he took
great pride in the farm and spent
much of his time on it

The Tortures of Rheumatism
By Using S. S. S.
The germs of Rheumatism are in
the blood, which is laden with mil
lions of the minute demons of pain
causing untold suffering and bringing
its victim from vigor and strength to
almost helplessness. To get real and
genuine relief from this disease,
these disease germs must be com
pletely routed out of the system
through the blood. .
S. S. S. has been used for forty
yean with satisfactory results in the
tein, 500 grammes of carbohydrate
and fifty-six grammes of fat a day
(Chittenden's standard), the exports
for the same period would -supply the
protein requirement of 34,783,000 per
sons for one year, but would need
to be supplemented with 4,596,000.000
pounds of carbohydrate and 314,000,
000 pounds of fat from other sources.
On the basis of 3,055 calories a day,
the exports would supply the energy
requirement of 20,388,000 persons for
one year, leaving neither surplus nor
deficiency.
Comparison W the wholesale prices
of flour in the United States and Eng
land during the last three years shows
that, while . the English wholesale
price was somewhat higher in 1916,
the American price was markedly
higher than the English in 1917 and
slightly higher in 1915.
The comparisons were made be
tween Minneapolis wholesale prices
and average English wholesale prices.
Up,
, Men, and Arm
Against the Pocketless Peril
Quickly sensing the trend toward
eliminating all superfluities, the m
tional Association of Clothing Design
ers has decreed that pockets in men s
clothing must go. This must stand as
the high mark of national efficiency,
since the elimination of pockets is to
follow to quickly upon a period when
the masculine public has reason to
believe there will be little or nothing
left to put ifT them.
It is not so easy to view with
equanimity the news that trouser
cuffs are to go the way of pockets
The trouser cuff is a real essential.
The wonder is that men got along so
well without it during the period
when masculine attire was evolving to
the point of present day perfection.
Home gardeners especially will ap
preciate this truth. The indispensable
trouser cuff makes it possible for city
dwellers, who but rarely get close to
the soil, to keep ample quantities of
the soil wtih them to be carried into
the house or office, where it dis
tributes itself over desk tops, bed
room .floors and in clothes closets, to
say. nothing of the show it makes
when the bootblack turns down the
cuff to give the inside a periodic
brushing.
There must be some way to save
the trouser cuff, and the inventive
genius of America should find it. Sure
ly, the ration that produced the sep
arate cuff for shirts, to say nothing
of the detached shirt front, will not
fail in this important test. There is a
suggestion in this remembering of the
"detached" affairs that once played
such a part in economizing on laun
dry bills. Now that economy is again
the motive, why not a detached trou-i
ser cuff, or cuffs? bo far as we know,
material is not so scarce but goods
could be found for a single pair of
trouser cuffs for every male except
those exempt from military service
who will not need them.
What does it matter if the cuffs do
not match the trousers? Are men so
cumtom-bound that they cannot di
versify their apparel in this way? If
hats may have a bit of ribbon of a
different color, why cannot the male
be permitted a trouser cuff that does
not quite match the suit? These
cu..- light at least match the shoes,
either black or tan, while for sports
and wrist watch winders, white and
delicate shades to correspond with the
variegated hosiery might be per

Reduced to Garb of Adam,
Gets Leaf from Eye
When Henry Anderson, a divinity
student of Northwestern university,
Chicago, awoke 'Saturday in his dor
mitory, he realized for the first time
how Adam must have left when au
tumn set in. He had no more clothes
than a gold fish. His room had been
despoiled of his garments, a wrist
watch, a fountain pen and $11.
When this state of affairs reached
the ears of some local co-eds they
formed a first aid unit and sent relief
post haste. '
Then sent in the "first aid kit" these
following items, to-wit, viz:
A string of beads,
A pair of pearl spats,
A Gainsborough hat,
treatment of Rheumatism. It acts
directly upon the blood, which it
promptly purifies of all disease germs.
It is a powerful antidote, and elimi
nates from the blood all trace of
rheumatic germs, building up and
strengthening the run-down system.
Write today to our medical di
rector, who will give you valuable
advice regarding the proper treat
ment of your own case. Address

A tulle bow,
A leaf.
In expectation of unfavorable com
ment should he issue forth as he
found himself. Mr. Anderson had tele
phoned the police, who said they were
sorry, and sent him a smock and a
pair of breeks which had been the
property of a plasterer, who, fancying
himself to be a bird, had flown, sans
garb, to the lake, into which he had
vanished, being seen no more; in con
sequence of which the smock and the
breeks became municipal property, in
a manner of speaking. Chicago Tri
