MANLEY AT CHICAGO
FORT CONFERENCE
V
(Commercial Club Resumes Ac
tivities With Regard to Im
provements at Fort Crook
and Fort Omaha.
I he Commercial club is again ac
tive in the interest of improvements
at Fort Omaha and Fort Crook. Com
missioner Robert H. Manley has gone
to Chicago for a conference with offi
cers at headquarters of the Central
department in regard to these im
provements and the part the Com
mercial club can play in acquiring
reeded ground and co-operating in the
completion of other improvements.
" Small tracts of ground adjacent to
the grounds at Fort Omaha will be
leased as soon as the details can be
arranged, and larger tracts at some
rlisiance from the fort will be leased
or purchased. ,
Certain large tracts comprising as
much as 160 acres are under consider
ation by the officials. These will be for
alighting purposes when the develop
ment of the Fort Omaha plant into
a full fledged balloon and aviation
school comes. Tracts of 160 acres or
more are under consideration west of
Omaha outside the city limits, and
some also on the West Dodge road.
Several weeks ago the Omaha Real
F.state board had a committee headed
by E. R. Benson which committee
looked up possible tracts for the bal
loon school, and it was at that time
considered practically certain that
some of the sites selected by the com
mittee would be purchased or leased
by the department.
May Lay Main Anyway.
The matter of laying an eight-inch
water main to Fort Crook to supply
that camp with water, is still pending
and it now develops that whether the
War department wants this main at
j.rescnt or hot, there are almost resi
dents enckigh on cither side of the
proposed line'' -or the main to take
the service and make it pay J the
Metropolitan Water district, wittidfit
consideration of flic fort neWs at
all.
Val Keyser, who ies south of the
city limits and along .this , proposed
line of water main to-the fort,' has
at present in his possession a petition
signed by some 200 residents of that
section asking to be connected with
this main if it is laid, and asking that
it be laid as soon as practicable. If
the main goes through these hundreds
of residents want to connect at once,
and this connection would immediate
ly insure a revenue to the Metropoli
tan Water district aside from the rev
enue to be derived from the War de
partment for supplying the fort.
Cooks for Regular Army .
Are Not to Be Found
Gricf will come to the soldiers of
I . ncle Sam and the soldiers of the
draft army will be forced to drill on
empty stomachs at the Oes Moines
cantonment unless more cooks appear
in The next few days. The hotel men
of Omaha who guaranteed to fur
nish cooks for the cantonment are ex
periencing a more difficult tasjf than
uas expected. Cooks in this territory
are few and rarely met with at pres
ent, or if there are any, the good pay
otfered seems to hold no attraction
for them. Mr. Miller of the Rome,
however, is industriously seeking men
with some knowledge of cookery, who
will have compassion on the boys in
training and perform the government
and themselves a service by keeping
them alive and able to eventually meet
the soldiers of the kaiser in first-class
condition. ' "
Machine Gun Boys Go ,
Out on a Buttermilk Jag
The machine gun contpany of the
sixth went on a "buttermilk jag"
Wednesday afternoon. The Alamito
dairy invited them over and served
about twenty case of fresh buttermilk
to the boys. After that, and with the
chicken supper at All Saints' church
in prospect, restaurant fare didn't
appeal to the company for a while.

fW 1
Max M. Rosenblum, assistant mana
ger of the Empress theater of this
city, is one of the lucky Omaha men
chosen for training at rort Smelling,
He was born and raised in Omaha
affd graduated from the Omaha High
school in the class of 1910. He was
assistant manager of the Parisian
Cloak company and then connected
with various motion picture concerns
lor two years, both on the road, as
salesman, and in the office. He has
been connected with the Empress
theater but a short time and it is
with regret that Managers Ledoux
and Lt Alarquandt part with him
Omaha Boy Enthusiastic
Over Navy Training Camp
"Several boys 'jumped ship' a week
ago, and now every night we hear the
sentry roar, 'Halt, d you.' and then
pow goes the first and the second
shot. The third' has a steel nose and
means business, so one seldom hears
that."
Such is a tiart of the tone of a let
ter written, to Arthur L. Palmer of
Omaha by Bert - Jacobson. former
Omaha boy, who is riow in the navy
at ureat Lakes, ill., in training. He
is enthusiastic about the navy, loves
the work, and says all the rest of the
boys there feel the same way, but he
could not refraiif from saying some
thing about the few who did not care
tor thaMite and "jumped ship" as he
called, it, '
He says these are 12,000 men in
training there now, and all of them
fond of the work. "Such a bunch of
huskies I never saw in my life before,"
the letter read. "All the boys are
anxious to get a pot 6hot at the
kaiser."
Kennedy Has Head Cut
. . In Slight Domestic Row
Thomas Kennedy, Thirteenth and
Chicago streets, became embroiled in
an argument with Andrew Frigar,
who owns a restaurant at 103 South
Twelfth street, which resulted in a
deep knife wound in Kennedy's head
inflicted by Frigar. Kennedy, who de
livers ice for the People Ice and
Cold Storage company, said that when
he objected to Frigar's attentions to
his wife, he was attacked by Frigar
and cut on the head with a carving
knife. Both men were arrested and
later released on bonds. Dr. Mullen
attended Kennedy'a wound. .
Bad Attack of Diarrhoea Cored.
"About two years ago I had an at
tack of bowel trouble and was in a
serious condition-when I. began using
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy," writes Mrs. J. Rogan, Fair
port, N.-Y, "This medicine relieved
me at once, and after taking three or
four doses of it I was cured." Peo
ple are always pleased by the prompt
cures which this remedy effects. The
recommendations of those who have
used it have done much to make it the
most popular medicine . in use for
bowel complaints. Advertisement.

Invitation Extended.
Colonel F. A. Grant of the local
quartermaster's'departraent, will pre
side Friday noon at the Commercial
club, when the club entertains the
Omaha boys who are newly-fledged
officers from Fort Snelling. The
eighty or - more young men from
Omaha who received commissions at
Fort Snelling will be the guests of
the club. Desperate efforts have been
made by the club to get invitations
to all of them personally, and at noon
today the office force at the club was
on the point of despair. It was an
endless task to look up the telephone
numoers ot all them, and the omce
force declared that undoubtedly not
half of them would be reached in
person.
"However,' said Assistant Com
missioner Ellis, "those whom we can
not possibly, reach personally must
understand that every commissioned
Omaha man is in on this invitation
and we want him here Friday noon
by all means."
Major Dahlman and A. W. Tefferis
will talk to the young officers and
some of , the officers themselves will
be called upon for talks.

Many Navy Recruits Are
Sent to Great Lakes Camp
Two hundred and ten men were
sent Wednesday from the navv re
cruiting office in Omaha to the Great
Lakes riaval training school. Lieu
tenant Wilbur, in charge of the ret
cruiting offices here, has been un
usually successful in recruiting men
from this district and had 600 men
enlisted and on the waiting list.
Because of this great number al
ready enrolled here and the fact that
for awhile there "was not room for
more in the naval training stations,
Lieutenant Wilbur has been for some
time limited to sixteen men a week for
enlisting. The week at the recruit
ing station begins on Friday and
early tvery Frida"v mominsr. lone
before the office is open, there has
been a line of men anxious vto enlist
in the navy.
There are now 400 men left on the
list, but it is honed these, too. will
be sent soon to camp and then more
may be taken in from this office.

knitting. At the same time, those at
the booth will be prepared to enroll
new" members and receive contribu
tions. All . memberships obtained in

War Needs of Platinum to
Be Supplied by Alaska
Washington, Aug. 16. Discovery
of platinum in Alaska by. Dr. Hers
chel C. Parker of 'New York and
others has aroused government agen
cies to the greatest activity in the
hope of finding sufficient quantities of
the precious metal txmeet the war
needs of the allies. ,
Four government experts have been
assigned to study the Alaskan situa
tion and report if tbe discoveries may
replenish the platinum supply cut off
recently by the virtual cessation o
activities in the Ural mountain mines,
the source of the world's greatcs!
supply.
Intensive operations would follow
a favorable report, for the true con
dition, it is declared, cannot be deter
mined before next year, by which
time the present short supply will be
very nearly exhausted.

Marschnor Has Plan
Of Numbering the States
Alfred ; Marschnor, 3566 Jackson
street, has worked out a scheme to
number states and territories for the
purpose of simplifying and facilitat
ing the indication of their names in
addressing mail matter and in other
connections by substituting numbers
for the names and abbreviations of
the names of the territorial units.
Under the plan of numbering the
state of New York would, "for in
stance, be nunibered-lr, it being the
eleventh ,,state in the chronological
order of its-admission to the union.
A lettef or parcel addressed to a per
son in the state of New York would,
under Mr. Marschnor's plan, read:
John Doe', 29 Broad street, New
