AMERICA WILL m Kiddies Line Up for Pushmobile Parade;
DECIDE THE WA?J Here's One of the Prettiest Turnouts
Sergeant Bowen of Canadian
Army Exhorts Every Omahan
Not to Let Some One Else
fight for Him.
"'Anjenca is the deciding iactor up
on uhic'" the success of the war de-
pends," declared Sergeant F. Bowen"
of tiie Canadian army, before a crowd
of over 1,500 at the big patriotic rally
:.t Miller park last night.
"With nerica and Americans
rcsis the responsibility of bringing
this deadly conflict to air end. In the
homes of 300,000 Candainstoday crepe
is hanging in memory of the brave
.-oldiers who fought and died for their
country. In as many more , homes
uaxious mothers scan the papers for
'.ews of departed husbands or sons
who are doing their bit.
"Loyal citizens of America, I ap
peal to eacn ana every one or you
to come forward and unflinchingly do
your duty. The United States and
its allies needs every man they can
obtain. Enlist, enlist, I urge you and
don't let your neighbor do your fight,
ing for you, but be true to yrfurself
ruid your country." j
Urges All to Enlist.
r Sergeant Bowen was fourteen
months in the trenches, receiving ;
number of wounds, the last one be
ing so close to his heart that he was
invalided home. But not content with
resting quietly and filled with an un
quenchable patriotism, he is traveling
through the country, enlisting British
subjects. He made a direct appeal to
these men in his speech, which was
frequently interrupted by enthusiastic
upplause.
Sergeant Bowen told of some of the
atrocities committed in the field of the
war. He said that he beheld a French
woman lying dead in the ruins of a
village with her two children by her
sme,. an staDDea to aeain oy Dayo
nets of die enemy. This is only
one of the incidents of the war,
which are dommon over there. The
fact that there are women in the au
dience, prevents me from telling of
the awful crimes perpetrated on .de
fenseless girls and women by the
Germans."
M. O. Cunningham thrilled all with
anecdotes of what raal Americans
have done and what real Americans
have before them now. "If you don't
wish to join the regular army, or
the navv. or the draft armv. ioin the
reserve militia. But do something,"
he said. "The reserve militia is be
ing organized to cope with difficulties
which might arise within the state,
such as the recent Industrial Workers
of the World outbreaks in the west.
With the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
regiments gone, difficulty would be
experienced in meeting these emerg
encies without a reserve militia. How--ever,
no men are wanted who would
not be willing to go into the federal
xprvir if- ihe nrrasinn arose.
More New Members.
"New members are being enrolled,
and drilling every evening goes on at
Ihe. Armory, at Twenty-fifth and
Farriani. A company of older boys
of the high school cadets is already
enlisted in the reserve. '
T. J. McGuire, city prosecutor,
gave a rousing address exhorting all
citizens to till up umaua s quota, ana
particularly impressing upon his au
dience, as viewed from his experience
in office, the absolute necessity of a
reserve militia. H. S. Mossman was
chairman of the evening. .
Regular army men from Massa
chusetts, California, New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, Washington arid Con
necticut, sat on the platform and gave
dignity and color to the scene.

Reichstag Committee Gives .
Way to More Wieldy Body
Copenhagen, Aug. 24. The com-
mittee on ways and means, or the
"Little Reichstag," has proved too
large and ponderous for maintaining
a quick and constant touch between
the German government and , the
Reichstag parties when the Reichstag
is not sitting. It has now been de-
eAA tr ActMicli o email rnmmiUcp
which will immediately be available
for conferences with government
representatives on any question that
may arise.
Dr. Michaelis, the German imperial
chancellor, has accepted the idea. The
first work of the subcommittee may
be to pass upon the reply of Germany
to Pope Benedict's peace note.
London Asks Reprisals
For Recent Air Raids
London, Aug. 24. Renewed news
paper attempts to stir the govern
ment to greater air activity have fol
lowed yesterday's air raid on the
southeast coast of ' England. There
also may be more demands for re
prisals against the Germans since the
bombing of pleasure resorts like
Margate and Southend, which have
no military or industrial establish
ments, arouses indignation even
greater than was -caused by the at
tacks on the residential districts of
London's poorer classes.
Farm Hand Ends Life.
Sidney, Neb., Aug. 24. (Special
Telegram.) George Larson, aged 23,
committed suicide last night at Lodge
pole by hanging himself to a Union
Pacific box car. - He had been work
ing for a farmer named Butcher in
Deuel county and became (despondent
through typhoid fever. His brother,
John Larson, resides at Fremoul,
The first entries for the second an
nual National Swine show, which
will be held October 3 to 10, have
already been received. The show
will be held at the big horse barn at
the South Omaha yards and in order
to give everyone a chance to attend
several evening sessions will be held.
Everyone connected with the show
feels that a. certain patriotic duty
rests with him. The government is
asking for big things in the way of
increased live stock production and
the men in charge of the show hope
to accomplish big things toward in
creasing the size and quality of herds.
Police Secure Empty Cans Said
To Have Contained Booze
John Hyerky, Twentyseveiith and
L streets, was arrested at 8:30 Thurs
day evening and charged with illegal
possession of intoxicating liquor.
He came out of a grocery store at
Twenty-ninth and F streets, and car
ried a suit case to 3909 South Iwen-
ty-eighth street. Detectives Francl
and Goss followed him to the house
and entered with him, but they were
ordered out because they had no
search warrant.
When the suit case was opened at
the police station it was found to j
contain six empty ojie gallon tin cans. I
Police testified that they smelled of 1
liquor. 1
"Surely a man has a right to go
down the street with a suit case," said
Frank Keegan, attorney for the de
fense, in police court Friday. "I ask
that Hyerky be dismissed for lack of
evidence."
"There isn't a great deal of evi
dence, but I am afriad there is plenty
of guilt," said Police Judge Madden
as he set the case over until Saturday
morning and fixed the bond at $105.
"What! $105 bAnds on a mere charge
of vagrancy?" asked Attorney Kee
gan incredulously.
"The bond is $105," repeated the
judge firmly, as he took another smell
of the tin cans which had been intro
duced in court as evidence.
The case brought forth much com
ment among police. All agree that
the need for a search warrant hinders
prosecutions under the new prohibi
tion law.
Negro Outruns Police,
But Later is Captured
Sudden fright when he saw Officer
Knudtson at the viaduct on West Q
street, caused a negro, who was lug
ging a heavy suit case, to jump over
the bank. The negro darted through
a hole in thefence around the rail
road yards.
Knudtson got the suit case and
the man's hat and fired a shot at him
but, he says, "the nigger outran the
bullet."
The 'suit case was taken to the
police station and found to contain
six full quarts of whisky.
Later Sergean Allen,. Detectives
Francl and Goss, and Officer Fleming
found the negro at the Blue Goose
rooming house, 2721 R street, and ar
rested him.
South Side Woman Dies
At St. Joseph Hospital
Mrs. Mary Blubaugh, age 69, wife
of Francis Blubaugh, 5710 South Fifty-first
street died at 6 o'clock
Thursday morning in the St. Joseph
hospital. She had been ill several
months. ,She is survived by her hus
band and five children, two sons and
three daughters; Mrs. J. Rautsen,
Mrs. W. Sturgeon, Mrs. J. Greenslit
and Henry and George Blubaugh. All
of the children live in South Omaha.
Hogs Break a Dollar
In the Last Two Days
There was a sharp break on the
hog market Thursday. The top price
was $18.60, which is $1 lower than
the top Tuesday. The bulk of the
sales sold all the way from $17' to
$18. Hog receipts were fair, but the
market was the slowest for months.
Both packers and shippers were slow
to get into the market. "It's just a
general reaction from unnaturally
high prices," is the explanation most
stockmen offer for the sudden drop in
prices.
