Omaha Men Gain Their.
Promotions in the Army
The latest list of promotions in the
' army as nominated by President Wil
son insludes two Omaha men.
Captain William G. Doane, son of
the late Judge Doane, has been pro
moted to be a major of infantry.
Captain William B. Cowin, son of
General John C. Cowin, has been pn
moted ,to be a major of infantry.
V Colonel F. G. Stritzinger, formerly
a commandant of the high school
ifadet regiment, while stationed at
Fort Omaha and ranking as a major,
has been assigned to a command in
s the new national army', Colonel Strit
. zinger was in command of troops, here

Vniforms for Machine Gun Corps ,
Arrive; Means Men to Move Soon
Captain Gardner of the Fifth ma
chine gun company at the armory, has
received word from Captain H. C.
Stein, supply officer of the Fifth, that
uniforms are now ready for the com
pany at Lincoln.
This means that the Fifth will leave
soon. General Harries has always on-
posed the sending of troops away until
tlicy were uniformed.
"The fact that the uniforms were
sent to Lincoln instead of directly
tothe machine srun" comoanv in
Omaha probably means that enough
for the whole Fifth regiment were
sent there in one lot." taid Captain
Gardner. "I should judge, from this,
that the entire Fifth regiment will
move .together."

the Laemmle exchange, and Manager
C. H. Calvert of the Bluebird photo
