THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. AUGUST 11. 1917.
BRITISH CAPTAIN
TO REGRDIT HERE
Ivan rinn Arrives in Omaha
' and Will Open Offices for
Enlistment of Men to
Fight in Enrope.
Eeep Right on Guessing! They're All Well-Known
Railroad Men, Each With a Different Road, Active
in Omaha Today. These Pictures Were Taken Years
Ago Before They Attained Their Present Fame
Captaiu Ivan Finn, Tenth battalion,
First Canadian Expeditionary force,
arrived in Omahi Friday to open a re
cruiting office for eitens of the Brit
ish empire. ,
For the present tiie office will seek
voluntary enlistments, but later those
of military age who don't join volun
tarily will probably be drafted just as
American citizens are drafted into
the United States army. He is a mem
ber of the British recruiting mission
which is now opening recruiting of
fices for British subject throughout
the United States.
The captain talks with a delightful
brogue, for he is half Irish. He was
in his bath when the reporter called
nn htm ar ihr Vnttrnrle A he
dressed the reporter's eye was taught I
by several scars that spoke more elo-i
quently than words of what the cap-
tain has been thtough. Une ot these
was fully eighteen inches long, with
little scars, six or eight inches long,
running out from it.
"Oh, that." said the captain, care
" ssly, when aslced about it. "High
explosive did that. I had a pipe in
my pocket and it was blown into the
wound and made rather a bad mess.
I was fifteen months in hospital with
it."
He has several other scars to show
for his ten months in the trenches
during the awful days when unpre
pared England r,nd I;rance and Bel
gium were holding back the prepared
Germans by sheer determination.
"The Germans should have won,"
said Captain Finn. "If they hadn't
been such fools they would Ik.vc won
with all Jie'r preparation. We used
to have two machine guns to a battal
ion of 1,000 men in those days. The
Germans had, a machine gun to every
ten men. In those days we had bat
teries limited to three shells a day.
Now some of then, shoot 15,000
rounds a day."
The captain maintains a true Brit
ish reserve. Like most jnen who
have really see.i and done much, he
talks very little except when ques-

tioned. sked how much longer he
thought the war would last, he shook
his head.
"You really can't tell,- tte said.
"But personally I should say it'll
likely last three years more. The
Germans have a lot of kick left in
them yet. But they've got to be
beaten?
"What do you think about winning
the war by a perponderance of air
planes to be supplied hy this coun
try?" he was asked.
"It will help a lot to blind the Ger
mans by air supremacy," he said. "But
the importance of plenty of infan
try, the men with the cold steel, can't
be overestimated.
The Tenth batallion, to which Cap
tain Finn belongs, was wiped out
several times. Sometimes he didn't
know more than twenty-five men in
the 250 whom he commanded, the

greater part having been killed or
wounded and the ranks filled up with
new men.
Captain Finn is accompanied by a
sergeant and orderly. He came here
from Minneapolis, where he opened a
recruiting station.
Late Train Spoils Plans
For Visiting Printers
The fact of the train being two
hours late disarranged all the plans
of the Omaha Typographical union
for entertaining the Chicago delegates
to the Typographical union conven
tion to be held in Colorado Spring,
Colo.
There were 100 delegates from Chi
cago and other Illinois cities and they
were' due to arrive over the North
western at 11:40, but they did not
come until 1:30. The Omaha Typo
graphical union reception committee
of thirty, aided by the members of
the auxiliary, had planned to give the
visitors a ride about the city, followed
by a basket dinner in Elmwood park.
The plans had to be changed and
when the Illinois delegation arrived
the members were hurried into special
street cars and whisked out to the
park, where speeches were dispensed
with, there being only time for the
eats. Immediately after the dinner,
the visitors boarded the cars, return
ing to the city just in time to catch
a train for the west, at 4 o'clock.
Keeps Track of Home
Folks Through The Bee
"Thanks, father, for The Bee which
I am receiving regularly," wrote Ser
geant Havey's son from Honolulu. The
younger uavey is in the military serv
ice and is keeping posted on home
town happenings although he is in
faraway Hawaii. .
"I guess a lot of other boys here
would like to have the folks send
them The Bee," he added in a letter
Just received.
Park Equipment Taken
Down for the Barbecue
' "Just tel) the folks," said Commis
sioner Hummel, "that if they go to
the parks on Saturday and notice a
lack pf tables and seats they should
remember that this equipment was
transferred to Riverview park for the
day on account of the barbecue to
be tendered the soldiers."
Directors of State Press ,
V Association to Meet Here
Clarke Perkins of Aurora, president
of the Nebraska Press association,
has called a meeting of the executive
committee of that body for Saturday
afternoon in Omaha. The meeting
will be held at the Commercial club
rooms.
Farmer Bound Over for
" Receiving Stolen Auto
Mike Lamb, a farmer, residing near
Spaulding,, Neb., was bound over fo
the district court under $750 bonds
on a charge of receiving stolen prop
erty. The property in question was
an automobile that had been stolen
from Mrs. Luetta Wetgel in Omaha
last September. Officers testified
that he had agreed to turn the car
over to the owner, but that when
they visited his place the machine
was so badly damaged that it was
impossible to run it. The car was
stolen when new.
Milwaukee Resumes
, Electrification of Road
Word ' reaches the Omaha offices
of the company that the Milwaukee
road has resumed the work of electri
fication on its north coast line
through the Rocky mountains. It is
expected to add 211 miles of electric
line to the system, covering the dis
tance from Orthello, Wash., to Seattle
and Tacoma.
In the new zone to be opened there
will be eight sub-stations for the de
livery of current, each having a ca
pacity of 7,500 horse power, to be
later increased to 25,00 horse power.
Paul Le Marquand and W. Le
Doux, lessees and managers of the
Empress theater since its opening
five years ago and of which they
have made a wonderful success, have
leased the Brandeis theater for a pe
riod of five years and will operate it
under a policy which calls for the
highest class productions and those
only. '
The new firm will not present any
pictures or "pop" attractions at their
new house. The plan for the new un
dertaking calls for the best stock
company in the United States to pre
sent the best plays obtainable on the
first four days of each week, with the
very best of toad attractions, those
booked by Klaw & Erlanger filling
in the last three days of each week.
Arrangements have been completed
with Mr. Zehrung, the former lessee
of the Brapdeis and who was presi
dent of the Western league and at
one time mayor of Lincoln and who
continues to manage the Oliver the
ater at Lincoln, to book the company
in Lincoln when road attractions are
housed at the Brandeis.
Mr. Le Marquand has returned
from Chicago, where he and Mr. Le
Doux, with the assistance of Mr. Neg
emeyer, one of the best known di
rectors in the country, engaged the
foundation fot,the new company. Mr.
Le Doux and his director have gone
on to New York, where they are now
engaging the remaining members of
a cast, which, if money and effort
make it so, will be the best stock com
pany possible to organize and deserv
ing of the title "The Stock Perfect"
this motto having been selected as
the aim of the new organization.
There is no question but that many ,
people suffer from auto-intoxication
and ptomaine poisoning. These are .
big words which are easily explained.
Thru the failure of the liver to
properly perform its work the twenty
seven "feet of intestines become
clogged. This stagnation throws poi
sons into the blood and the circula
tion, and one suffers from bad
breath, foul taste in the mouth, and
even yellow-coated tongue, headache,
nausea or fullness. Gas often presses
the diaphragm against the heart and
causes pain there, or acid dyspepsia
follows; often the inactive hver
causes yellow skin and eyesf and
one feels languid, tired and debili- .
tated. At such times some people
are advised by their doctors to take
a mineral oil, often called "Russian
Oil," but experiments by R. F. Mc
Donald have shown, as lately re
ported in a government publication '
of the U. S. Public Health Service,
that mineral oil may act as an irri
tant that produces gastro-intestinal
disturbances and that it may cause
tissue proliferation, simulating can
cer.
A better method, which I always
advise, is to take as much outdoor ex
ercise as possible, drink half a pint
of hot water morning and night and
plenty of water between meals and
take a pleasant laxative pill occa
sionally. Such a one is made tip of
the May-apple, of vegetable calomel,
and other concentrated herb extracts
that give tone to the bowels. This
was first made and solL by almost
all druggists nearly1 50 years ago as
Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Such simple means will remove that
bugbear, auto-intoxication, constipa
tion and the ills that follow, by favor
ing healthy action. Adv.
