This shows the Omaha Ambulance company No. 35 rn action, rendering the first aid to the wounded that will soon -be a part of every day's work in Neman's Land on the other side. Howard Home, who recently left a position as chauffeur in the employ of the city, is at the wheel. He will drive this ambulance in France. Gould Dictz is at his side. The man on the stretcher has sup posedly just been in the vicinity of an exploding German shell. The ser geant is seen putting on a head band age. Four men arc necessary to pick up a badlv wounded man and carrv him back of -the .trenches. The sergeant administers first aid treatment. The man is then carried to the ambulance, which rushes him to an emergency hospital, where he is under doctors' care. If his wotmd is of . a serious nature he is later taken to a field hos pital, and if he seems to be in for a long illness he is taken to a base hos pital. The Omaha Ambulance company Xo. 35 began to organize about the middle of June. They have been having hard infantry drill, and for the lasty two days have been practicing stretcher drill. They have taken their oaths, but have not yet been mustered in. In dications seem to point to Deming. N. M., as the training camp to which they will probably be assigned. The company is composed of 119 privates and noncommissioned offi cers, four lieutenants and a captain. The last lias not yet been appointed, but 'it is probably that pr-.A. L.

The new major generals today re ceived instructions to report for duty not later than August 25. All the reg ular department commanders are now called upfn for duty in the field, prob ably in France. Included in the orders is a state ment that the order of designation of the division is by no means indicative of the order in which they will be sent to the front. A warning is added that shifts and changes in the officer personnel of the division are to be ex pected. Under new army regulations each regiment will consist of 'three bat talions of four companies of 250 men each, which, supplemented by supply and machine gun organizations, will bring each infantry unit up to a strength of approximately 3,600 men. From the 27,000 officers recently graduated from training camps a con siderable number will V 'detailed for a course of intensive training in trench warfare with the expeditionary forces already in France. In addition, some officers probably will be sent to French and British officers' schools to study the methods of the allies. Tersistent to Success. CHINA TO CONDUCT WAR INDEPENDENTLY Declaration Against the Central Powers Does Not Mention Any Alliance With the Entente. Peking, Tuesday, Aug. 14. (De layed.) China's declaration of war on Germany and Austria-Hungary, be ginning at 10 a. m. today, and the other documents relating to the con flict, do not "mention the association of the Chinese republic with tne en tente powers. They indicate that China's action will be entirely inde pendent. The declaration of war aroused lit tle excitement in Peking or in other notth China cities, the long discussion of thti question having discounted its effect. ' 1 Netherlands Represents Austria. Thtjf Netherlands minister to China today took over the Austrian inter ests and received the arms of the Aus trian guard. The doors of the Detttsch Asjatische bank have been sealed. Chinese troops at Tientsin took over the Austrian concession and the German bank and German barracks there without incident. Regulations issued today by the Chinese government permit the de parture of Germans and Austrians within five days. t Registration within ten days is required to permit Teu tons to continue doing business, if it does not affect China's welfare. Enemy subjects are forbidden to travel without permits. The regula tions also provide for the internment of troublesome enemies. Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. Red Oak, la., Aug. 17. (Special.") Detective J. N. Wilkcrson, who re cently established his headquarters here, has been holding public meet ings every night during the last week in this section of the state, at which he continues to discuss trie Villisca ax murder without legal interruption.

Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway Co. I l have been doing pain less dentistry for many years, and I am successful because I am doing it dif ferently and better than it was ever done before. I do not claim to be the best dentist In the world or the only good one. I do not .claim any great inven tion nor any secret, except ing my local anaesthetic, by which I do my work with out pain, and which I have used successfully for many years. I have never taught anyone how to make it, but have taught my associates how to use it. I could not have one of the lafgest dental business in the world, unless I made good my claim of high-class painless dentistry at a reasonable price. 1 have spent my life trying to educate the American people how to preserve and care for the teeth, and allay that dread and fear of going to a dentist. By organizing, specializing, systematizing and advertis ing I have brought the price of the best painless dentistry obtainable within the reach of every family. In a Painless Withers office one man does not attempt all six branches of dentistry, but specializes in one, because one man cannot be a specialist in all. To do this requires a largo office sup ported by a large practice. My associates are not students learning how; tbey are all experienced dentists; some having licenses in several states. No matter what you want done or how many different kinds of work are necessary on your teeth, here you have the services of a trained specialist, and it costs no more than the old-school "howl-and-cuss" method used by our grandfathers, which is simply "hit-and-miss" dentistry. I have invested my money in this new office and set aside a sura for telling the people- where we are and what we are doing. It has only been open one week, but has a large working force of dentists and nurses, and daily han dling more patients than any other dental office in Omaha. Doesn't it speak well for the efficiency and professional repu tation of an organization which can come into a city like Omaha and at once take first place in its particular field! We are not fly-by-night dentists, experimenting with some new idea, depending upon cheap prices to induce you to come to our office. The dentist whose only inducement is the cheapness of his price never has anything else to recom mend his work. Cheap dentistry is always dearest in the end. Office hours 8:30 A. M. to 6 P. M. every week day; 9 to 1 Sundays. You may call any time during those hours, and we examine your teeth free of charge, telling you what should be done with each one affected and how much the work will cost when done in a certain way. We do all kinds of den tistry and each and every operation is done without unneces sary pain to the patient. Because this is true, we can do our work better and more rapidly than under the old-school method. Artificial teeth on plates is one of our specialties. Why suffer with sore mouth as a result of cheap rubber plates or ill-fitting plates that constantly fall out of position! We make aluminum plates that give perfect satisfaction. Rubber is unhealthy, unsanitary and injurious to the mouth. Alumi num is clean, healthy, cool and serviceable, and costs prac tically no more than the best grades of rubber.

Var volun teers for thf regular army have reached a total of 190,347 men, bring ing the roll to 7,000 in excess of the authorized war strength. Since the total quota for the ex panded army was filled several days ago, recruits have continued to enlist at an average of more than 1,000 men a day. They will he needed and the recruiting service will not relax its efforts. There still are twenty-five states that have not supplied their quotas, hut some of the other states have fur nished their quota several times over. Temporary Troop Camps Not to Affect Saloons Washington, Aug. 17. The War de partmentshas modified the order pro hibiting a saloon or bar within half a mile of a military camp so as not to be effective where purely tempo rary camps re concerned. The modification was caused by a situation in Kansas City, where many saloons and leading hotel bars in the city were closed because some troops were mobilized in Convention hall. Under the new ruling such tempo rary mobilization of troops will not be cause for closing bars and officers w ill be depended on to restrain their men. UKRO SUITS xr Ok m Now's the Chance!
