LETTER HINTS OF U.S.
TROOPSJN BATTLE
Robert Kutax of Omaha Writes
Parents of Conditions Met
by Pershing's Men in
France.
Two Lively Mascots Going to
Deming With Omaha Battalion
Robert Kutak, an Omalsa loy, who
is with Pershing's army '"somewhere
in France" ready to plunge into the
deadly struggle along the Verdun
line, has written this interesting let
ter to his parents.
T. J. Kutak, his father, lives at 1721
South Twelfth street. He says that
his son's letters are becoming worse
and worse censored and that in all
probability the American troops al
ready are in the thick of battle.
"Somewhere in France, July 30.
Dear Family and Home: I received
two letters from home today and one
from a friend. I was very glad to
get them, for they strengthen me jn
my desire to do my best in this war.
"The war is the. greatest tragedy
: of the ages. It ha torn the. hearts
of millions of grieving parents and
relatives and the greatest tragedy of
it all will be when, war hits home to
people of America and tspecially
Omaha.
"For then it shall be you who will
suffer, you who have no quarrel with
anyone. Next month it will be three
years since the war started. Three
long years of terrible suffering. Now
all the big financial nations of the
world are involved in it. Where the
men and money for rehabilitation
after the war is over shall come from
the Lord only knows.
Y. M. C. A. and JUd Cross. .
"There are two branches of lerv
ice who get little credit. They are
the Red Cross and the Young Men's
Christian association. The Young
Men's Christian association has a tent
on the hill with a library, reading ta
bles, writing tables, billiard tables
'and base ball equipment. They are
surely doing their share. The Red
Cross fed us a good many times and
very well since we have been in
France. Boost for these two insti
tutions. "1 am feeling fine. That is because
I don't drink. Things are very dear
here. Eggs, francs a dozen.
Other things are proportionately
dear except wine, beer and cham
pagne. Beer, 9 cents a bottle; wine,
about 23 cents a quart; champagne,
from 7 to 8 francs a Quart.
"The country around here is very-
fine. From a big hill about five milo
meters from here, the view is espe
cially beautiful. The green hills of
France stretch for many miles about
it. Deep blue forests dot the land
scape here and there. At some places
the white villages can be seen. ' It is
very pretty. We are quartered in an
old-fashioned French village.
Dreams of Home.
"Don't fail to send me the Omaha
papers. Give my best regards to
all of my friends and write often.
"Some day I shall come back to the
old city by t!ie Big Muddy and once
more enjoy a good supper cooked by
ma. I dream in some of mv leisure
time of what I would do if I came
home. I would like to arrive on a
would go home with you and enjoy
a big supper. After supper 1 would
sit on the front porch and watch the
sun sink behind the hills. At night
I would go to the cjub and have a
good time. Oh, that the Lord shall
grant my dream 1"
Printers Make Reply
To the Coal Dealers
The committee appointed by Oma
ha Typographical union to look into
the local coal situation from the view
point of the wageworker at a meet
ing Wednesday decided that the coal
dealers are misleading the public in
some Of the statements made by them
and should be corrected.
For example, it is asserted by the
dealers that there will be a shortage
of coal because the consumers are not
putting in their winter supply as
usual, and consequently the dealers
have no place to store the additional
coal required for the season.
It it the fact, among wageworkers
at least, that they do not usually put
in their winter's supply of coal for
from four to six weeks later than this
date.
Even if the dealers' claim In this
regard had any merit, it would be an
easy matter to induce consumers to
put in their winter's supply of fuel
now by the former offering to pro
tect the latter jn case the price is
forced down.

Left to Right: Charlie Hauptman, Mascot of Company B, Sixth
Nebraska; Theodore Davis, Mascot of Company A.
When the Omaha battalion of the
"Dandy Sixth" goes to Deming in
a day or two, Charlie Hauptman and
Theodore Davis have no intention
of getting left at the station. They
have obtained their parents' consent
and the boys have promised to take
them along.
Roth have been vaccinated and
fnnoculated for typhoid and are
proudly nursing sore arms.
Charlie, known as "Red," swears
by Captain Risch and Company B,
of which he is the mascot, while
Theodore says "Cap'n Brome is de
'Finest dar is."
Both unite in admiration of Major
Harries, who is never too busy to
entertain them. Theodore says he
likes Major Harries "Cans' he gives
us nickels an' dimes an' takes us to
the show," but Charlie says he likes
him "Cans' he's a good fellow."
Each boy wears a uniform pur
chased by his company. Charlie has
an uncle, William McConnel, in the
battalion, who will watch over him.
When the soldiers go to the front
they will put the little fellows on the
train for Omaha. This part of the
plan does not suit them, as they want
to go to France, too.

RELIEVES STRAIN
Attorney General Willis Retd,
Lieutenant Governor Edgar Howard
and ex-Governor J. H. Morehead
form a triangle of democratic candi
dates for the United States senate
who are watching each other's move
ments with the proverbial "green-
eyed jealousy."
1 m not aying much about mv
candidacy," Willis Reed said recently
when doing some political gossiping.
"No, I'm ust going to let my
friends talk it along quietly and let
the thing grow. In the meantime I'll
have my coat off workinsr hard at the
job of attorney general, but I'll keep
my eyes open all the time as to What
is going on in the senatorial fight."
Morehead and Edgar Howard are
a source of some worry to Mr. Reed,
however. Heeds home is Madison,
Neb. That is only a short distance
north of Columbus, the home of Ed
gar Howard. Reed realizes that Ed
gar Howard would necessarily niD a
number of the votes of that section
of the state if he should rtin and that
that would cut down the votes for
Reed.
To Split His Vote.
I know what the game is, though,"
said Reed, "I know' that Morehead
lias simply induced Edgar Howard to
run in order to split up my vote in
my own section of the state and thus
inake it better for Morehead."
There are still other troubles for
the attorney general. His former
deputy, Dexter Barrett, is no longer
his deputy because of a misunder
standing, and since this ruction came,
Barrett is anything but a Reed
booster. And while Barrett is not
expending breath in. boosting Reed
for the senate, he is at the same time
training to run for Reed's present job,
that of attorney general.
Barrett has confided to friends that
he will run for attorney general. In
unbosoming himself thus, he has told
several Omaha peopfe that Reed fired
him because he was jealous of his
power as an attorney; that he (Bar
rett) is the man who won all the
cases that were won by the attorney
general's office since Reed has been
in there, and that Reed has tried to
take the credit for them.

Sullivan, who is a deaf mute, when
asked his reason for marrying the

"I thought my first wife had secured
a divorce. I am not asking for clem
ency on these grounds."
The evidence showed that he had
married Magffie Hoffman in New
Orleans October 6, 1914, and three
years later to the day he married
Dora Hull, who is also a deaf mute,
in Omaha.

The body of a suicide was found
at Spring Lake park 5t 7:30 Thursday
morning and later identified as that
of Charles Haggadorn, formerly em
ployed as a bookkeeper for the Ly
man Sand company, 524 Bee building.
A bottle of poison was found in one
of the pockets. Poison tablets, which
he had chewed, were found on the
ground close to the body. There
were signs that the man had suffered
deep agony. Some of his clothing
was torn and he had crawled almost
100 feet from the place where his hat
was found.
War Makes Him Brood
The police say the suicide may
have been caused by brooding over
the war. A letter found in his pocket
told of America's war aims. It is
unaddressed and seems to be asort of
thesis explaining America's place in
the world war. It says:
"We are sending forth our sons to
die for the purpose of once and for
all time making it unsafe for any na
tion to impose on any other.
"We propose to remove the bully
and to each future peoples that it is
unsafe to try to usurp our rights.
"We an sending our sons to die to
guarantee that no other nation shall
stand in the way of a peace-loving
people."
The letter was scrawled over eight
pages cf tablet paper.
Past Draft Age.
Haggadorn was past draft age. The
manager of the Lyman Sand company
said Haggadorn was intensely patri
otic and that he was indignant when
he read a pro-German letter in the
World-Herald and said he intended to
answer it.
Haggadorn last worked for the
Lyman Sand company August 19. He
was addicted to liquor and seemed to
be despondent over his inability to
break himself of the habit. He was
34 years old and unmarried. The
body was taken to the Heafey under
taking parlors.
Lucky Seventh Infantry
Rapidly Filling Its Ranks
At the curbstone meeting an front
of the recruiting station, 1612 Far
nam street, Captain F. W. Higgin
son of the "Lucky Seventh" noticed
a middle-aged man, who stood trans
fixed during the speeches, telling of
the need of a national guard reserve
in Omaha. After the meeung the
man still stood as one in a dream till
the crowd had melted away. Finally
he made'hls way Inside the office and
up to the desk.
"Can you . get y- r parents' con
sent?" asked Captain Htgginson, jok
ingly. "I'm not as old as I look," laughed
the man. "I'm only 42 and I can
fight with the best of them." And he
enlisted on the spot
The speakers at the meeting were
A. C. McGIone, Kenneth Furlayson
and Sergeant Bowe:i of the British
station. The latter spoke for his own
and the Seventh recruiting work.
The street meetings of the Seventh
are bringing results. Every night
some doubters "hit the, trail," and
after the meeting Captain Higginson
and Lieutenant Leidy are busy en
listing the recruits. Friday night at
7:30 the Seventh will drill on the
streets. It is thought uniforms soon
will arrive for the men. Two "alien
friends" enlisted yesterday in the
Seventh. They are unnaturalized Ser
bians and, according to the regula
tions, alien friends may volunteer
even though not naturalized. Ar
thur Howell of the Howell & Son
Ice and Coal company, enlisted in
the Seventh Thursday.
