WILSON HAS FAITH
IN ULSL6ERHAMS
In Letter to Representative
Dyer President Reiterates
Confidence in Loyalty of
Naturalized Germans.
Washington, Atifr. J. President ;
Wilson, in a letter to Representative;
Dyer of Missouri, today reiterated his i
confidence in the loyalty of the great ;
body of American citizens of Gcr-:
man blood.
Representative Dyer complained
that federal officials had discharged,
without hearing and simply on state
ments or affidavits, citizens of Ger
mon blood in St. Louis 'whose loy
alty had been questioned.
"Your letters have struck a re
sponsive chord in my mind," the pres
ident wrote. "I have been made aware
from various sources of the unfor
tunate position in which a very large
number of our loyal fellow citizens
are placed because of their German
origin or affiliations.
"I am sure that they need no fur
ther assurance from me of my con
fidence in the entire integrity and
loyalty of the great body of our cit
izens of German blood. You know
that not once, but many times in my
public addresses I have expressed this
confidence. I do not like to make
another occasion to express it simply
because it would seem to indicate on
my part a doubt as to whether the
country had believed my previous as
surances to be sincere. May I not
very respectively suggest that it
would be easy to make use of the
passages I have referred to from
my former addresses to do some
thing, I hope not t little, to offset
the evil influences that are at work?"

$151) a month rent; that place is now
bringing $75. The owner replied he
would lease it for not less than three
years and take eighteen months' rent
in advance. The El Pascan retired,
saying he would build a "shack" of
his own near the army camp.
Pricea Now Soaring.
Deming says it is not responsible
for the rapid rise in prices. Business
men say they intend to keep down
the prices of commodities but ad
venturous business men coming have
taken matter! beyond their control.
It remains to be seen if Deming's
chamber of commerce can control
the cupidity that spring tip where
ever a camp of joldiers is raised.
Many fireproof buildings are going
up. At least ten flew stores are un
der construction and the little city is
growing in every direction. Camp
Cody is in the V formed by . the
branch of the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe railways. From the union
, yards near, the El Paso & Southwest
ern leads to its main line through Co
lumbus. Hachita and Hermanes where
Pershing's expedition to - Mexico
started. Columbus has lately been a
"roundup" camp for the Industrial
Workers of the World. The stock
yards are to be moved to a point east
of Deming for sanitary reasons.
, Enforce Saloon Law.
' Business men say they will not per
mit high prices to be charged to
soldiers and those who do so will be
put out of the town. Mayor Max
Nprdhaus says the saloon law re
quiring 9 p. m. closing will be rigor
ously enforced and hearty support
is promised the branch of the sol
diers' welfare and recreation com
mission and Young Men's. Christian
association.
Only one company of soldiers, a
company from the Twenty-fourth
regular negro infantry, is now at
Deming. A battalion of negroes will
take station at Camp Cody and re
cruit it to full war strength for serv
ice in France.
. No new building has been done
on the camp site. There is plenty
of land for, all purposes, including
aviation.
One utility will be plenteous and
99.99 per cent pure. That is water,
raised from inexhaustible veins by
electric pumps. It is said .that the
sole cost to the government will be
the pumping and that the site for
Camp Cody is given free.
The Young Men's Christian asso
' ciation will build nine roomy halls;
also a downtown recreation hall.
Secretaries in) each hall will help the
soldiers with literature, writing ma
terials, etc., and entertain them with
music and lectures.
Miners to Honor
Little, if Permitted
I Butte. Mont., Aug. 3. The funeral
of Frank H. Little, national executive
board member of the Industrial Work
ers of the World, who was lynched
early Wednesday morning, will be
made the occasion for a big demon
stration Sunday if the local author)
ties will permit the striking miners, to
inarch, according to. plans announced
today by Tom Campbell, head of the
Metal Mine Workers' union. Camp
bell said he would have more than
3,000 miners in line.
Burial of Little will be either in
Chicago or Fresno, Cal., dependent
.upon the " .'shes of his relatives, who
.have not yet been .heard from. The
crisis as a result of the lynching of
ll.it tie is believed to have been passed
and there is little of the tense feeling
l in evidence which was present on the
flay ot his death.

.Final 'Action on Food
i BiH Expected Soon
' Washington, Aug 3. Final action
,on the administration s food legisla
'tion was forecast when the' house con
vened today. Before it were confer
'ence reports on the two bills, the first
providing for, a national food survey
land stimulation of production and the
(Other providing lor lood control. Ap
proval of both reports seemed as
eured.
The senate was not in session to
iday, but probably will take up the
"conference report on the control bill
tomorrow. It is expected to act fa
vorably on the report, although there
.will be opposition to acceDtinir some
pi the compromises effected by the

Move to Oust City Commissioners
In Body Reported at the City Hall
City hall rumor scents a movement to dispossess city
commissioners in bad repute, not by recalling one at a time,
but by discontinuing the commission plan of government
It is said resort will be had to the provision of the law
which requires a special election to vote on a proposition to
abandon the commission plan and go back to the mayor and
council system on demand of a prescribed percentage of the
voters signing a petition to that effect.
According to this information, the petition already has
been drawn at the instance of a group of dissatisfied tax
payers and is supposed to be in the hands of George E. Yager
to be put into circulation within a week or ten days.
DRAFT EXAMS IN
FOURTH DISTRICT
START SATURDAY
(Continued From Page One.)
day only three were rejected and
ordered re-examined. More than
half of the remaining twenty-nine
men said they will file claims for ex
emption.
"It is hard to estimate now many
embyro soldiers we are getting,
safd Judge Sundblad.
Investigate All Cases. '
'I believe, however, only a small
per cent of the men who will claim
exemption will get it. This board
for one will make an exhaustive in
vestigation in each case before a man
is exempted.
We will be caretul when it comes
to excusing one 'man from army
serviee and then ruling his neighbor
must go. Public sentiment, more
than anything else, will cause the
exemption boards to be abso!utly
fair and impartial.''
1 Sixth Holds Record.
The sixth district is examining men
much faster than the other five dis
tricts. One hundred and nine men
in the outlying district had been ex
amined up to Friday noon.
One man examined in this district
was an ex-cavalryman and the call
to arms made a strong appeal to
him. He has a wife and child, but
remarked to the examining doctor
that "they could stay with the folks
all right and that he should go." He
filed no claim for exemption.
A man who had registered in Chi
cago turned up for examination in
the second district The work here
with six exemption boards may look
bin to Omaha people, but this man
in Chicago would have been in the
eighty-third exemption district. He
was examined by the local board and
passed a very favorable examination.
Work in the first district is going
on as fast as possible, although very
few men have been examined as yet.
Medicos Are Wise. -
When asked if they have any phy
sical disabilities that should exempt
them or if they have ever been dis
abled before most of the men step
up with a prompt "no," but a few of
them do not like the looks of things
and whert asked to hop around, on
their toes to see if they have flat
feet do a pretty poor job,, but the
doctors are crafty and very few
succeed in this kind of attempt to
fool the medicos.
The third district has not yet start
ed examinations. . Many transients
are in this district and it is. going to
be a task to locate all of them.
"Over 300 requests .have been re
ceived by our district for transfers
to other towns or to be transferred
to Omaha," said Mr. Redwood, chair
man of the third.

THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. AUGUST
HOWARD WOULD HOT
' MAKE ANY PROMISE
Neville Could Not Appoint Him
self and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Will Not Say that '
He Would.
Governor Keith Neville could not
depend upon Lieutenant Governor
Edgar Howard to give him a com
mission in one of the Nebraska regi
ments, when he was all feverish to get
into the army.
This, at least, is the way one local
democrat, close to the state adminis
tration, has the matter doped out.
Of course, this democrat admits that
Senator Hitchcock did a lot to talk
Governor Neville out of the thought
of going to the war, but he says that
a difficulty earlier than that con
fronted the governor. Lieutenant
uovernor tdgar Howard did not
want to be governor.
"I shudder at thi thniiffht" airt
the lieutenant governor, when The
ate nrst printed tne story ot the
governor's contemplated resignation
to join the army.
It is said that the governor and
lieutenant governor had a number of
conferences on the subject, and that
Lieutenant Governor Howard would
not at any time promise. Neville that
he would appoint him as a military
officer if he became governor by rea
son of Neville's resignation.
This, however, was the only pro
cedure to depend upon. Governor
Neville, while in office, could not ap
point himself and then resign the
governorship to take the office to
which he had appointed himself.
Lieutenant Governor Howard knew
this, and not wishing the executive
cloak pushed upon himself, he used
this inability of the governor to get
himself appointed at Howard's hands
as a club to hold the governor in the
executive chair.

Liege were repeatedly attacked by
the Germans in massed formation
from August 4 until August 13, when
they finally were reduced by great
