"Dand Sixth" Boys
Cheer Themselves
In Movies at Strand
The "Dandy Sixth" today made its
debut in the movies at the Strand
theater, where are being shown mov
ing pictures of the dress parade of
the Sixth regiment Sunday afternoon.
It was military morning at the
Strand, where the Omaha battalion
of the Sixth was the guest of Man
ager Thomas. The' Strand special
release of the Sixth pictures was the
feature and the theater rang with ap
plause as Major Harries and Lieu
tenant Kenwortliy appeared first on
the screen.
Next came the president and di
rectors of the Commercial club, as
natural as life. With a splendid spirit
thefour companies of the Omaha bat
talion next swung past, each easily
discernable at once by the captain at
its' head. Captain Brome came first
with Company A, then Captains
Risch, Keating and Metcalfe led their
men in fine form past the Auditorium,
followed by the band, while the screen
audience waved hats and the real au
dience out in the theater applauded
madly, each man striving to see him
self in the marching throng.

been certified by the government, but
they are being given another chance
to give their reasons for neglecting to
file affidavits. .
The board has received some infor
mation in regard to exempted men
who filed false affidavits. J. J. Breen,
chairman of the exemption board, said
all such cases will be thoroughly in
vestigated and if necessary decisions
will be referscd.
South Side Residents Ask
City for More Sidewalks
Representatives of the city street
department went to South Thirty
sixth street to investigate the need for
sidewalks yesterday. Commissioners
Parks and Jardine are interested iu
the movement.
The Giles Improvement club has
long been trying to get sidewalks
along some of the streets in the south
western part of the South Side. ' The
recent automobile accident which re
sulted in the death of Frank Nitschell,
3811 Harrison street, as he was walk
ing in a street which had no side
walks, aroused the people to intense
earnestness in their request for side
walks. - Petitions are being circulated among
the property owners on Thirty-sixth
street. The Giles club will hold its
next meeting Tuesday. Commissioner
Jardine will speak.

(By Associated Pmt.)
Washington, Aug.' 29. Enlisted
men of the national army, National
Guard and regular army will be
given every opportunity to fit them
selves for commissions, it wis learned
today.
This is in line with the policy of
the jovernment to take no more of
ficers from civil life after the second
series of officers training camps, now
in progress, has been completed.
Therefore all additional otliccrs I
needed will be found in tlie ranks of
the various branches of the war
army.
Officers' Schools at Camps.
To carry out this plan it has vir
tually been decided to establish an
officers' school at each' of the divis
ional training camps. Men from the
ranks, who show special qualifica
tions will be sent to these schools.
With staffs of French and British
officers of experience on the firing
lines on duty at each camp, as ad
visers, an unusual opportunity for
lecture courses will be presented.
, The divisional officers' camps will
make the third series of such camps
arranged by the War department- to
provide men to command the enor
mous forces being raised for thet war.
No line commissions will be granted
to men from civil life after they are
started, except that a few men who
were denied admission to the other
camps, through loss of their ordersJ
n fha mitt ff ermsi s-t Vlr l iciMl a It I
may be given an opportunity in the
third series.
i War Army Discontinued.
Secretary Baker pointed out today,
in reply to a question as to whether
the European divisional army organi
zation adopted for the war. would
be continued after the restoration of
peace, that with the exception of the
officers of the regular army and a
few men of the old regular enlisted
force, whose enlistment may not have
expired at that time, the entire war
army will pass out of existence. There
is no provision of law for continuing
it beyond the end of the war.
The question ol establishing a con
tinuing military policy of universal
service has been debated to soitc ex
tent recently. The impression pre
vails among many members of con-
btpss. however, that it would be un
wise to take up this question now. li
the war is long, it may become neces
sary to provide for the registration
of new cases, which reach the mili
tary age of the selective service bill
each year and possibly also to ex
empt men now registered, but who
may pass beyond the maximum age
limit before the war ends.

Mexico City, Wednesday, Aug. 29
The efficiency of any German bureau
of information or any German spy
system located in Mexico is depend
ent absolutely on the efficiency of the
censorship imposed by the allied pow
ers. This is the conclusion unhesitat
ingly and unanimously pronounced b
cable experts, telegraph men anf
diplomatists oi those powers who
have been in touch with German
activity in Mexico not only since the
United States entered the world war,
but from the .opening hostilities in
l')14. In fact, these experts declare
that information from the United
States to Germany could hardly be
transmitted by a more inefficient or
loiiRer route, and that those desiring
to transmit to the central powers in
formation of troop movements and
other valuable news would have far
less difficulty in sending it from the
United States direct than through
Mexico.
