businesses of all kinds throughout the
state are hurrying pell mell to take
out liability insurance this week tin-,
dcr the new provisions of the work
men's compensation act, which went
into effect Tuesday of this week.
Commissioner Frank I. Ringer of the
Nebraska Manufacturers' association
says that inquiries are pouring into
the offices of the insurance com
panies every day. accompanied by ap
plications for insurance to cover the
proprietor's liability to his employes
in case of accident or death.

the new amended compensation law

fight for his new friend, the Lnited
States.
Flarlow is a keen observer of world
politics and prophesies many changes
for this country, even as they have
come to Europe lately.
"You are going to dofaway with
your state boundaries" he says.
"There will be in the future no little
separate states, each with its own
laws. There will be just one big county-
Harlow has many friends in Eu
rope, but he can get little news from
them.
"There must be much doing over
there," he says. "My friends keep
trying to inform me about it and I get
many letters. But about four fifths
of each is cut out, so 1 am in the
dark.
"America is a good place for wom
en nowadays" he said. "I could tell
you some horrible tales of the treat
ment of the women in Europe now."
"Sammy" Ally is the tiny mascot of
the Hotel Fontcnclle. His mother is
a French bull and his daddy is an Eng
lish bull, which makes him a thor
oughbred ally. He takes his Chris
tian name from the American soldiers.
"Sammy" is also a "Red Cross dog,"
as his blanket proclaims.
He was wandering around the hotel
when Miss Anita King, the famous
movie atcress, came along and spotted
him.
"Oooo-oli! Look! How sweet!" she
gurgled.
"Aw-w-w-wff !" snorted "Sammy,"
who don't like to be petted.
Mr. Blank, the owner of theiStrand
theater and who is building another
big movie house here at Fifteenth and
Douglas, picked "Sammy" up and in
troduced him formally to the movie
queen. '
This is how the photographer
caught them.
Sergeant Russell Park, of Company
D, Fourth Nebraska, is now in train
ing at Fort Snelling.
Many out-of-town people made the
trip in their cars to Fort Crook to
see the boys on Sumiays. Company
K had visitors from far away points,
as Bloomington, Pa.vnee City and
Burchard.
Company K is the youngest one at
Fort Crook. That is, it has been in
training six weeks less than the rest.
So it prides itself on the fact that,
when the Star Spangled Banner "was
played the other evening, it was the
only company to stand with arms
presented, according to latest ruling.
Company D is the only one at Fort
Crook recruited to full war strength.
It has 150 enlisted men and three offi
cers, Captain Leo J. Crosby, First
Lieutenant Sidney S. Stocking, Sec
ond Lieutenant M. White.
The Recruit company takes in sev
eral men daily. It sent sixty-five men
to companies A, B, and C, last week.
There are about 130 members left and
these will be outfitted and assigned
to fill up other companies.
There are not enough "housewives"
and comfort kits to go round at Fort
Crook. Some companies have only
fifteen, for a hundred or more men.
To prevent jealousy the captains put
them all away till there were enough
for the whole company. Make some
more,- girls.
Automobilists are requested to re
member the Fort Crook regulations,
only eight miles an hour inside the
post grounds. Also to halt at com
mand. Some fail to do this and a
i bullet through a ttre is the result.
Pay day is a long, long way behind.
And Mike is down at the tannery,
where he has been stuffed. This com
bination of facts' is bringing gray
hairs to the machine gun company,
at Fort Crook. Mike, you remember,
is the bull terrier mascot who died
last week. They are digging down
deep in their pockets, hoping to find
a few unexpected dimes wherewith to
ransom Mike, who will be taken to
France with the troops.

At present Bill is absent without
leave, the penalty for which is a
guardhouse sentence. Bill is smart;
perhaps he knows this and fears to
return. If you see him, tell hint that
leniency will be shown, since i is a
first offense. Indeed, the boys are
more likely to kill the fatted calf m
his honor when he gets back.
It happened this way. Bill went to
town with some of the company a
few weeks ago and got lost. As he
refuses to associate with anyone not
wearing a uniform, he staid !ost till
a soldier came along. Following his
new friend he arrived at Fort Omaha,
where he had a pleasant visit of a
few days.
Then some one learning from the
inscription on his collar that he be
longed to Company D, tied a large
card on him which read:
Please send me home to Company
D. Fort Crook, Nebraska. ,
Bill fared forth and was pushed
along till he reached a detachment of
Company U on tne guara ai ine quar
termaster's depot, at Twenty-second
and Hickory streets. Here is staid
awhile, but once more he is missing.
Two Men Escape Injury When
Train Destroys Motor Car
Two men. whose names were not
learned by the train crew, lost out
in a race for a crossing a few miles
east of Columbus, with the eastbound
Union Pacific train, No. 6, when their
motor car became stalled on the cross
ing. The occupants of the car bare
ly had time to jump, before the tram
struck. Both men were uninjured,
although the car was completely de
molished. Conscription Bill

Up-to-the-Minute Gossip About'
Boys in Uniform at Omaha Camps
When the Supply company of the
Fourth Nebraska reaches Europe, it
won't have to hire an interpreter, for
I it will have its own in the ranks.
Sergeant Henry Harlow, soldier of
fortune and globe-trotter, now with
this company, modestly admits he
"speaks a few languages," German,
French, his native Dutch, Swedish,
Norwegian, English and Spanish are
part of his equipment.
Harlow, whose name is really
Hendrick Haarlow,' says he just hap
pened to come to America, and to
Nebraska in particular, accidentally.
At the outbreak of the European
war he was in France doing newspa
per work for a Scandinavian syndi
cate. The war knocked all that into
a cocked hat there was plenty to
write, but he couldn't get it out of
the country, so he left. He reached
the coast and took the first boat out.
It happened to be an American ship
instead of one to SoutlrAfrica, which
he had expected. That! was the first
accident. '
Arrived here, he drifted west, ply
ing his craft of journalism, till he
reached Nebraska. It was snowing
as he passed through Omaha. He
had always wanted to see a snow
storm on the wild western plains, so
he got out." Which was the second
accident. Once' here he discovered
the surprising fact that he was not
yet in the wooly west, but he liked it
and staid.
He liked a scrap, so he joined the
Fighting Fourth and went to the bor
der, hoping to find one. Now he
hopes soon to get back to Europe and

Nomination of Edward Hurley
Washington, July 25. -Reorganiza- i
tion of the shipping board and the j
emergency fleet corporation was in ;
full swing today following President j
Wilson's acceptance of the resigna
tions of Chairman Denman and Major
General Gocthals and the end of the
row which long has delayed the ship
building program.
The senate conmicrce committee j
quickly recommended confirmation of j
Edward N. Hurley of Chicago as the
new chairman, but action was dc- j
layed on the nomination of Bain-
bridge Colby for member of the board
to succeed Captain John B. White.
Senators Wadsworth and Caldcr of i
New York, requested the delay. Mr.
Colby had been prominent in the
progressive party in New York. Ad
ministration leaders, however, expect
no serious opposition to Mr. Colby.
Acting Chairman Brent today also
offered his resignation, but the presi
dent took no action. Mr. Brent was
a supporter of Chairman Denman in
his controversy with Major General
Goethals, who tip unAi! yesterday was
the manager of the emergency fleet
corporation.
