THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1917. Nebraska YICKSBORG VETS MAY NOT ALL GO Appropriation to-Send Nebras kuns South Not Sufficient to Carry Everyone Who De- -v- sire to Make Trip. t ; (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 10. (Special.) Many .veterans will not be able to attend the 'celebration of the battle of Vicks burg next month for the reason that the appropriation will not be sufficient to 'pay the railroad fare of each- one, basing th belief on the registra tions in. . More than 850 have, registered for the trip. Some of these will not be able to go. But from the second reg istrations it is evident more than 500 and possibly 600 who would go if they were assured that they would receive full fare allowance. It is be lieved that the fare, for instance, from Omaha will be approximately $40 for the round trip. The appropriation of $20,00 with $500 left opt of it for the payment of expenses of preparing for the trip by'the comimttee will be insufficient to pay the way of all. It has been suggested to toe com ' mittee that an arrangement be made whereby .those who participated in the battle and captvre of Vicksburg be given first consideration and that those who.are really able to pay their owh tare do so and thus give the old veterans who are not able a chance to go. Of course, this would have to come voluntarily from those finan- etally ahle to pay their own way, but itis the "nly way that a trip for all can be assured. The books close for final registra tion September 15 and no applications will be consedered after that date. PROMINENT MEN AT THE ' OWNERS' CONVENTION.
