THEIRDNIFORMS
Thought Probable at Lincoln
Troops Will Not Move South
Until They Are More
Fully Equipped.
Mother Takes Postoffice When Her i
Son Goes Forth to Fight for Country
(From a Stajf Correspondent.)
Lincoln. Aug. 22. (Special.) It is
probable that companies of the Ne
braska guard will not be moved to
Xew Mexico until each man is prop
erly equipped with uniform and other
necessities.
General Haries has insisted all
along the men should look like sol
diers when they leave the home sta
tion and consequently it may be some
time until they go. Uniforms are ex
pected any day and as soon as they
come and the men are supplied the
movement will begin.
Five companies have been mob
ilized at the fair gounds in Lincoln.
Today these companies moved to the
city auditorium because the buildings
at the fair grounds occupied by them
must be made ready for the fair
which comes in the first week in Sep
tember. Fifth on Deck.
While the Sixth regiment of the
fcuard has been in the lime light for
a considerable time because of the
activities surrounding its organiza
tion, it must be remembered that the
Fifth regiment is still in the service
and one of the best drilled in the bri
gade. The Fifth egiment is exceedingly
fotunate in having a commande who
is a militay man from the ground
1 up. Colonel Paul served as a private
in the St. Paul company and worked
up until he became captain of the
company. He was then promoted to
major, then elected lieutenant colonel
and now is the ranking senior colonel
of the Nebraska brigade.
Will Be Heard From.
Colonel Paul bears the distinction
of not only being a strict discipli
narian, but his men love him for it.
He has the ability to command and
at the same time keep the espect and
srood will not only of the men under
iiim, but of his commissioned associ
ates. Unde his command the Fifth egi
ment will be head from when it gets,
on the battle line and it becomes
necessary to do things. '

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 22. (Special.) For
want of help to harvest it and ma
chinery also, thousands of acres of
wheat are ready to cut in Deuel and
Cheyenne counties, according to Sec
retary of State Pool and Land Com
missioner Shumway, who returned
last night from a trip of appraising
school lands in Dvuel, Cheyenne,
Garden, Morrill, Keith, Lincoln, Fron
tier, Gosper, Dawson, Funnas and Red
Willow counties.
Help has been hard to get, accord
ing to these gentlemen, and while nu
merous members of the I. W. W. have
been there they have insisted on $7 a
day for work and an eight-hour day.
As a result they were turned down
and the grain remains uncut.
Land Commissioner Shumway made
a record as polecat dodger. One even
ing while bowling along in his auto
wholly ' within the prescribed lawful
limit of more .or Jess miles per hour,
one of tfcese odoriferous animals
started to cross the road in front of
his mac'iine. Mi. Shumway made an
attempt to dodge the animal. He
missed him with the front wheelbiit
a back wheel struck the animal and
further deponent sayeth not.

City Attorney Rine Is
: . Wedded at Fremont
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 22. (Special
Telegram.) Miss May Bell Chri9ten
sen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.
Christensen, and John A. Rine, city
attorney of Omaha, were married
here this afternoon at the home of
the bride's parents. Rev. W. H. Buss
of the First Congregational church
officiated. Only members of the fam
ily were present at the ceremony.
One hundred men will leave Omaha
! today for the naval training sta
j lion at Newport. With the going of
! these men Lieutenant Waddell. head
j of the- Omaha recruiting oflicc, will
j have sent from Omaha in the last
two weeks 650 men.
The moving of this great number
ot men, more man there are in a
whole army battalion, has been ac
complished so quietly that the public
has not even known the eutrainment
was going on in its midst.
f-" Weeks ago Lieutenant Waddell set
for himselt this big speeding-up pro
gram. Every detail was mapped out
with military precision. Co-operation
between the Naval department and
the railroads was provided for till
there only remained the calling in of
the men.
Slip Quietly Away?"
When this occurred there was no
stampede, such as might follow if
the plans had not been well laid. The
force in the recruiting office, compos
ed of experienced navy officers, work
ed swiftly, but quietly. One by one
the men were summoned and given
complete instructions.
As soon as a bunch of 100 were
called, a special train was held for
them and, under the charge of a navy
officer, the men assembled at the sta
tion, boarded the train and were off.
They wore no uniforms, the goodbyes
were all said at home, so even the
depot crowds had no idea who they
were.
The detachment today will be ac
companied by- Chief Quartermaster
John H. Brady of the recruiting office
here. He has taken several of the
groups of men to the Great Lakes
school, but this is the first time so
many men have been sent from
Omaha to Newport.
'"This may mean that they will be
sent on shipboard sooner than we
think." said Ensign Condict of the
naval reserves, who will take Lieuten-
i aiu amicus piacc wneu ne leaves
tor ship duty.
"We are getting ready to fight Ger
many, you see, and our navy is being
expanded as fast as our army is. The
new recruits must be trained as quick
ly as possible.
Trained Men to Sea. v
"Every trained man in the navy is
being sent to sea as soon as his place
can be filled by the reserves and the
recruits. Three men today were call
ed away from recruiting station in
this territory to report for sea duty.
Ye are sending to these offices two
men, one a reserve who is to have
charge of the recruiting station, and
one a regular navy man from the
Omaha office, who will-train the re-1
serve men and then leave for sea
duty."
Following arc the men at their sta
tions vacated by this call: William
Bryan Anderson, from the recruit
ing station at Hastings; John K. Mon
roe, from the Lincoln office; Merrick
Beach, from Jmoux City, la.; Francis
M. Edwards, Omiiha station, for sea
duty.
Another yeomanette has been call
ed into the Omaha-office. Miss Sadie
B. Anderson of Council Bluffs, who
has been on the waiting list for some
time, was this morning ordered to re
port for duty. She will do clerical
and secretarial work at the recruit
ing office.
