German Financial ' Eeform Defepred v Until After War Copenhagen, Aug. 14.-f-Her Schif fer, the German under-secretary of finance, who has been entrusted with drafting the financial program cover ing war expenditures, says in an in terview in a Berlin newspaper that , the government's proposed tax and financial reform will be deferred until after the war. As a basic principle, he believes the number of taxes should be as small as possible because a few incisive taxes are better than attempting to spread .the burden with a large num ber of small taxes. He- thinks it is "necessary to avoid hampering indus try on whose development tfye hope depends-of raising the mighty sums required. Imperial Chancellor - Michaelis is quoted in another interview as saying that one recourse of the government will be to put taxes on raw mate rials along with income property taxes.

D., Aug. 14. (Spe cial.) Charles Nowalk, a veteran of the civil war, accompanied by a pet dog, passed Forest City, drifting down the Missouri river in a small boat.

D.. Aug. 14. (Special.) '--The grand commander'' of the Knights Templar of South Dakota will be in session at the Masonic Tem ple in Aberdeen on August 14, 15 and 16. A larg; -attendance is expected of knights from all sections of the tatc. ly the present force of farm advisers in the state. Nineteen of the -advisers will be added to the present force of eighteen and through their appointment, prac tically every agricultural district in the' state will be thoroughly covered. One of the food bills passed by con gress appropriates approximately $1,104,000 to be used by the State Councils of Defense in bringing about increased production of agricultural foodstuffs. ' riving here, he joined the United States army, Fourteenth infantry as soon as he could. He served four years and was on the border much of the time. "I noticed the men closely down there," he said. "The Americans are high strung and will do things in a hurry. They will do splendid feats of daring at the front and will learn quickly, once they get into actual fighting. . ' , "The Hollanders, for instance, are slower to, start though they are regu lar fools for fighting, once they get going. Fire a cannon behind a com pany of Dutch soldiers and not one will bat an eye. "But fire one behind an-American company and every man will jump. This high tension will put life into the fighting ranks abroad." .Captain Risch's company is one of the most interesting m the whole Ne braska brigade. Most of the men have been personally chosen by him and there are a large proportion of foreign birth, or at least foreign de scent. "There are- Bohemians, Russians, Poles, Lithunians, English and Ameri- cans in our company," he said. '"And don't forget the Irish!" as he glanced at a red-headed sergeant with twink ling eyes who stood by. All are de voted to Captain Risch whom they vote "a good scout." Many men in Company D speak several languages. -, Captain Risch himself speaks English, German, Spanish, Dutch and French. 1 "But that's nothing," he says. "My dad speaks fourteen." Captain Rjsch is the only one of his family in America. After he had been here awhile he thought it a "foolish notion" to have come. Then he met an Omaha girl and at once he knew why he had come to America. He has a wife and baby to leave behind when he goes out to fight again. Captain Risch had one brother n the Dutch navy, now dead. His only remaining brother is a tea planter in the Dutch East Indies, who will be in Omaha within a month and who is scheduled to speak at the Commer cial 'club then. Summer Complaint. During the hot weather of the sum mer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels and it is of the 'greatest im portance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine h kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y., states, "I first used Chamberlain's Colic and Diar rhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe at tack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose re lieved ine. Other members of my family have since used it with like re sults. Advertisement.

Conservation Women, "An army fights on its belly,'" said MVs. Mary Howe," in an address to the South Side women in the in terest of food conservation at the library hall yesterday afternoon, "And we women of America must get together and see that our soldiers get food. This is a time to think of others. Service, sacrifice and obedience are needed. For the first time in the history of the world the women and children have teen called to aid in preserving democracy. We have heard the call and we shall not be found wanting. We shall hold to gether in sincerity of purpose until the ideals for which our forefathers died, arc secure." Mayor Dahlman was present and spoke, "If we do not win this contest across the water, God only knows what misery we shall meet If the enemy ever reaches -our shores," said. Mayor Dahlman. We have not yet started to sacrifice. It is the duty of us who stay at home to gie to the' boy in uniform everything we can. Every boy who puts on a uniform and goes ' forth to shed his blood upon the field of battle does more than any man or woman who stays at home can possibly do. It is our task to take care of the food of the na tion. We must conserve it. We must dry all surplus fruits. and vegetables. We can send them, if need be, in submarines, to our boys in the trenches." Food Expert Talks. " Mrs. Harriet MacMurphy, food ex pert, told how foods are conserved. "I have successfully dried thirty different kinds of food," said Mrs. MacMurphy. "And the process does not lessen their food value in the least." She told of food conditions in Europe and impressed the women with the need of food conservation.' Mf. Schrieber, chairman of the Omaha Welfare board, told the wom en of the municipal evaporating plant at the Central Park school and offered to do all he can.towad the building of a plant in the South Side. Mrs. William Berry, 3820 South Twenty-sixth street,. was chosen chair man of the South Side women in this movement and the work will be taken Store Opens 8:30 A. M. up through the various organizations and other meetings will be held soon. I Police Doubt Suicide Of Mike Javremovich South Side police are inclined to be-, lieve that there may be "a nigger in the wood pile" ill connection with the death of Mike lavremovich. who was fojnd dead in the basement of his soft drink place at 2717 Q street early Sunday morning. A gun was lying beside him and there was a bullet hole in the right side of the head near tile temple. Police at first thought that it was a sjiicidc. Mike Radish, who cooked tor Javremovich and who reported his death to the police, is being held for investigation. Officers say that they think Radish knows more about the shooting than he is willing to tell. Radish reported that he had come home from the home of friends at 6 o'lock Sunday morning. He called up, the police station at 0:45. He said that he was talking to Javremovich in the soft drink place at 14:45 Sat urday night. John Elko, 2725 Madison street, was with him at that time. Some colored pectple who live near where the dead man was found, re ported tti the police that they heard1 two snots about midnight Saturday nigtit. ' Javremovich was found lying on an old mattress in the basCmrnt of his soft drink establishment and three shots had beeu fired from the revolver which was lying beside him. The dead man's safe will be opened tomorrow and that may give a clue to the motive for the shooting. . Former South Side Man ' To Train at Fort Riley Dr.,.W. H.

"LLKsWIB 1 1TL J JM a Jf rl 2 in- j Jiii-i j The "Dandy Sixth" boys were out at King Ak-Sar-Ben's castle last night. They were there in force. They were there because their uni forms had not been received last Monday night, which was the regular military night. t In fact, some of the boys last night appeared in the trousers of their civi lian days combined with the nifty brown shirts of their soldier days. But most of them were clad in their full uniforms and looked very well indeed. Other guests of the evening were citizens of Missouri Valley, Tekamah and Washington, most of whom came in automobiles. Soldier and civilian guests alike were delighted with the great mid way show. Some got shaves from Ike, the careful tonsorialist and oth ers tried their muscle, lifting the heavy weights with the professor. Applaud Great Spectacle. The great spectacle presented upon tht stage was in fine form. And a feature that called forth tremendous applause was the substitution of a band concert for the usual speaking. The Republc Motor Truck company's band, which happened to be in the city en tour yesterday, provided the con cert. The band is fifty strong and made the old den ring with melody. "Dad" Weaver announced that the membership roll has passed the mark and is going strong. Next Monday night will be devoted to the guests of Omaha market week and the boys of the Third Iowa infantry are expected to be here. The Monday following will be Lincoln night. "Dad" Weaver calls attention to the fact that it is necessary to be a mem ber if a man wants to go to the Ak-Sar-Ben ball. No tickets will be sold.
