Company -D of 'th'c Muny Guards,
which is composed of the Hanscom
Park boys, is now. completely organ
ized. Everyone of the fortv vouiie
soldiers is uniformed and drill day for
them has become paramount in their
life's doings.
Ail the minor souad and coinnanv
movements have been mastered. Cap
tain vaiupcii is now paying .special
attention to the dressings and com-,
pany movements, as these will count
most at the training- camp. Company
D now has two sections. Those who
enlisted since last. Sunday are drilling
under First Lieutenant Arthur Banau
and Sergeant Floyd Stryker.
Ten new recruits have been added
to the roll since the exhibition drill
held last Sunday. The new material is
being added to the original company
as fast as they are ready to do ad
vanced work.
Cadets Are Interested.
Several high school cadets are tak
ing a great deal of interest in the
Knickerbocker company. Melvin Car
lin has been made second lieutenant.
Others who aid Captain Campen are
Gene Rossom and Harry Hobson.
Both were commissioned officers in
the cadet regiment. E. E. McMillan,
supervisor of military affairs at the
Omaha Central High School, and
Frank Gulgard, commandant of the
same school, have indorsed the move
ment.
The former said. "The recreation
board never did a better thing." Mr.
uulgard told the captains that any

Ladies Help Soldiers.
Miss Ruth Rinehart, playground su
pervisor at Hanscom park is a very
important part of Company D. She
is very enthusiastic over the army.
Consequently she is military super
vsor morally and otherwise. She is
recruiting agent and at times helps to
break in the rookies. Captain Cam
pen says that Company D simply
could not do without Miss Rinehart.
Each company has a sponsor and
Red Cross nurse. Miss Lillian Hender
son of the South Side is the honored
one. She is the one who will come to
camp on visitors' day laden with
goodies for the hungry soldiers. Her
first work as nurse she did When the
boys suffered from many jigger bites,
which were received while swimming
in the Papio, while they were taking
their first, military hike last Saturday.

Up-to-the Minute Gossip About

the machine gun company of the Sixth
regiment, which is composed of men
unfamiliar with such work.
It is reported that Corooral Ben
Arriens of Company A. Sixth Ne
braska, is getting married "somewhere
in Nebraska" today. If the rumor is
confirmed the boys of the company
will meet him at the train. Corporal
Arriens is a well known Omaha busi
ness man. The boys says "Barkis has
been willing" for a long time, but it
took a call to war to make the girl
say yes.
There was a T.mor current in the
Auditorum yesterday that Sergeant
Earl Sherwood was married. When
cornered he blushed deeply and denied
the allegation. "But I'd kind of like
to be," he confessed. It is said Ser
geant Sherwood is too bashful to pop
the question.
Anybody got a base hall glove "al
most as good as new" for the machine
gun company of the Sixth? Captain
Buehler Metcalfe believes in only half
work and the other half play for his
men.
"I wish every man in the company
had a base ball glove," he said. ''The
men enjoy base ball so much and it is
fine for them. Drilling is monotonous
and makes them nervous. They need
some exercise to keep them in con
dition and for this there is nothing
like a fast game of ball.
"I know many fellows in Omaha
have an extra base ball glove, still
good, they would be glad to give to
us. We would appreciate them very
much. Just bring or send them to the
machine gun company at the Audi
torium."' l(

and an endeavor was made to force
him to sign a confession that he had
perjured himeself in a recent criminal
charge fil i against him in Hamilton
county. The defense contends that a
friendly meeting was in progress in
an endeavor to get evidence to be
used in future cases to be filed by
the county attorney.

Be Feasted, Fattened and
Frightened.

Commercial Club Members Be
lieve Local Camp Will Come
Into Prominence When
Next Call Issued.
One thousand merchants from a
dozen states surrounding Xchraska,
arc expected to be on hand for the
initiation gr(ind at Ak-Sar-Ucti tlcn
next Monday night.
The merchants will be here for the
first day of the Merchants' Market
Week in Omaha, and Samson has is
sued a mandate that they he hustled
into his royal castle to" be feasted,
fattened and tortured.
The newly commissioned officers,
who have just come from Fort duell
ing and other training camps, will
also be at the Den. Samson has worn
out several good goose quills endeav
oring to wr.'te invitations to all of
them, bu. he cannot find the street
addresses of all. lie sincerely hopes
that those who do not get his invita
tion will consider themselves doubly
invited an I will present themselves in
uniform for admission to the royal
castle just as if a barrel of formal
invitation had reached them mail.
Dandy Sixth Men Invited.
Those men, too, of the "Dandy
Sixth" who did not have their uni
forms in time last week to go to the
Den with the rest of the regiment,
are to be there Monday night in full
uniform.
The boys of the First Iowa En
gineering corps will also be present.
There arc some 250 of them.
Samson hopes also to bring in the
English and Canadian officers who are
in Omaha at the present time. He
hopes to get Major llanncy of the
Kyal British Flying corps ami his
aides, and Captain Ivan l'inn of the
Canadian cavalry and the other at
taches of his British recruiting mis
sion in Onia'.ia.
Again the mighty Samson is hurling
across the fair temples of his city the
call for the paid members to be at
the castl; Monday night, for it is a
noteworthy body of men from first to
last that will be entertained there
upon this occasion. Likewise doth
Samson call upon those who were
faithful knights last year and who
have not yet this year sworn their
allegiance, to step forward, wrapped
in a $10 bill and make themselves
full-fledged knights -this vear lest the
great coronation ball will take place
and pass into history without the
dignity of their knightly presence.

Mildred Lee Gardner Is
Married to Lieut. Shrum
A wedding of military interest oc
curred Saturday evening at 8 o'clock
when Lieutenant Winfield O. Shrum
and Mill Mildred Lee Gardner were
married at the home of the bride's
brother, Charles R. Gardner.
The bride wore a dark blue travel
ing suit with a bouquet of sweet peas.
The Rev. Oliver Keve performed the
ceremony. x
Lieutenant Shrum, who recently re
ceived his commission at Fort Snell
ing, will leave August 29 for Dei
Moines, preparatory to going into ac
tive service. Mra. Shrum will make
her home for the present with her
brother, who resides at 3324 Seward

guests were present.
Persisient Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
Commercial club members last
night announced that when, the second
conscripted army is called into train
ing Fort Crook will be developed for
the accommodation of a large body
of troops.
It is thought that General Persh
ing's urgent reiiucst that more of the
troops be trained in France and fewer
in the American cantonment camps
makes it unlikely that Fort Crook will
be needed at once as an auxiliary
camp, although confidence is felt that
it will be needed later.
There seems to be a disposition on j
the part ot the War department to
consider General retshing's recom
mendation and to rush large bodies
of troops to F'ance to he trained
there. This will relieve the conges
tion at the cantonment camps and
alio room enough to train all those
who will be kept in America for pre
liminary training.
The second conscripted army, it is
believed, will surely overflow iuto the
Fori Crook reservation and there is a
feeling that development, such as lay
ing of city water mains and road
building programs, will have to be
started here before many months.
Rahn Denies Pro-German
Utterances at Springfield
George Rahn, a contractor, residing
at .Will South Twenty-fourth street,
denies that he. made the statement
credited to him "Germany ought to
whip the I'nited States, and I hope,
she will." He also denies that he was
run out of Sprinlicld, where he went
to submit a bid on the new school
house to he erected there. He states
that he was not at Springfield at the
time mentioned and that he arrived
there after the bids had been opened'.
Mr. Rahn is an old resident of
Omaha and has been a naturalized
citizen of this country since 1886. He
has a son who applied for admission
to the army and who has been ex
amined for that purpose at Fort
Crook. He emphatically denies all
pro-German sympathies.
