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.

. Forest City, S. 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. "Drifting" is literally correct, as
he had lost the oars to his boat in an
encounter with a snag i:i the river.
Nowalk has made seven trips down
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers to
New Orleans, and has made three
trips from the Twin Cities to New
Orleans down the Mississippi river.

South Dakota Knights
Templar to Meet at Aberdeen
Aberdeen, S. 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.

WOMEN MUST HELP
IN FIGHT FOR RIGHT
Service, Sacrifice and Obedi
ence Necessary, Mrs. Mary
.Howe Tells Souths Side ..'
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.

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. .

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.
