LINCOLN PROTESTS
BREAKI1 UP SIXTH
Disappointed on Account ot the
"War Department Breaking
Up the Nebraska
Brigade.
Army Captain and Bride on Their
Honeymoon Trip in Speeding Auto
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 30. (Special.)
Lincoln people are disappointed at
theSiction of the War department in
dividing the Nebraska brigade at
Deming and placing the regiments in
other divisions of the army. They
are wondering where the Nebraska
delegation in congress has been all of
this time that it would allow such a
change' to be made. Senator Hitcrr
cock is the ranking member on the
committee on military affairs, while
Senator Norris is a member of the
committee on the ' War department.
Congressman Shellenberger is a mem
ber of the committee on military af
fairs. With these three so closely in
touch with the situation, there is con
siderable adverse comment going the
rounds, that the Nebraska brigade
should be allowed to be dismembered
without a vigorou protest going up.
Covered Themselves With Glory.
Nebraska people have not forgot
ten that in former wars, Nebraska
soldiers have always been a credit to
the state. The first Nebraska of the
Civil war and the First Nebraska of
the Spanish-American war, which
saw real fighting, covered themselves"
with glory and it had been hoped
that now -that Nebraska had a larger
body a whole brigade, the state
would be given another chance to do
business on a larger scale in the war
game.
What will become of the "Dandy"
Sixth, the regiment which was sup
posed to be a valuable adjunct to the
brigade, is a question that is asked
by many- What disposition will 'be
made of Colonel Phil Hall and Lieu
tenant Colonel Fred Mack if the regi
ment is split up as press dispatches
indicate this morning?
until Governoi Neville reutrns
from Washington where he went to
protest against the breaking up of the
.Nebraska brigade, little will be known
of the ultmate disposition of these, of
ficers. It would seem that the visit
of the governor to Washington was
just a little too late to have the ef
fect hoped, as for the change had
been made before he arrived and a
protest could have availed little.
Sunday Now Busy Day at
Great Lakes Naval Station
(Correspondence of The Associated TYess.)
Great Lakes, III., Sef 20, Sun
day used to be a lonesome day for
the Jackies at the Great I akes Naval
Training station. Now its the one
of all the week that is always looked
forward to with pleasant anticipation.
- Formerly there was no -girl to
"fuss," no family to talk with, and
most of all, that great American in
stitution, the Sunday dinner, was
nv'ssing. After a week, crowded with
drills, study, work and play, the day
of rest found Jackie with time heavy
on his hands.
Then some residents of Winnetka
one of Chicago's suburbs which is
near the station, as an experiment
invi'ed several to their homes. In
stead of the rather crudish overgrown
youths that thev had expected, they
found clean, well-manner young ijan.
many of them from universities and
co"eges, and delightful guests.
Now numerous homes in Winnetka
and other North Shore suburbs are
open to the-boys and there has never
been a case of the slightest unpleas
antness in the thousands of sailor
visitors. Instead of entertaining,
Winnetka finds itself being entertain
ed by guests who bring mandolins
and ukeleles and delight their hosts
with impromptu glee concerts
The success of the Winnetka ex
periment soon became known and re
cently 2,500 invitations to the Great
Lakes sailors were given out to Sun
day dinners in homes of Chicago or
its suburbs.
Captain L. C. Davidson and his
bride, who left Fort Omaha last week,
are on their way to Fort Snelling by
auto. This constitutes their honey
moon trip, also. Captain Davidson
was stationed at Fort Omaha all sum
mer taking intensive balloon training.
His order to report to His old com
pany, in the infantry, at Fort Snelling,
came as a surprise to him and is
deeply regretted by tke friends made
during his stay in Omaha.

German Fashions Are
' Caricatured, Say Press
(Correspondence of Tfto Associated Press.)
x Amsterdam, Sept. 15. In response
to the old demand throughout Ger
many for a new mode of women's
clothing that shall be entirely Ger-
man and absolutely independent of
(I Paris, the Munich Wieland has
brought out, after long preparation, a
special supplement of entirely "Ger
man fashions," containing a series
of colored designs "absolutely Ger
man in inspiration and elaboration."
The supplement has attracted wide
attention in the German newspapers,
but almost without exception the
criticism is adverse. The Berlin Tage
blatt says: "The illustrations miVht
well be taken for caricatures. The
body from the waist upwards apneaTT
far too short and humpy, the lower
part is padded to appear as an enor
mity. Bulging pockets, hats too small
or too large, falling over one ear;
wide outstanding collars and other
absurdities complete a figure from
which any rational man would turn
with loathing."
The Tageszettung and other papers
declare that if This is a fair specimen
of German genius for designing ladies'
fashion German wonen had far bet
ter depend as in the past on Paris.
Materia! Shortage Closes v
Holland Cotton Mills;
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Enschede, Netherlands, Sept. 15. j
The Dutch cotton-spinning and weav- j
ing industry is greatly disauieted by
the threatened reduction of Britain's
cotton exports to Holland by two- I
thirds, and a deputation is being gent i
to London to persuade the authorities
to revoke or modify' the decision.
Dutch spinners had long been put
on rations by Britain. Should the pro
jected measure be put into effect and
direct shipments from America, of
which there appears at the moment
to be little prospect, prove unobtain
able, working hours will have to be
still further curtailed and pojsibly a
number of mills shut down.
Holland's textile center, the district
of Twente, appears to have booked
very satisfactory results .in 1916, judg
ing by the annua! report of the Ens
chede chamber of commerce, despite
all the difficulties continually met with
in the raw material supply and the in
creased cost thereof, as well as deafer
transport and other adverse factors.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Sept. 30. (Special.)--The
city of Lincoln is determined that the
Rock Island railroad shall move its
tracks from the present route which
carries trains through the center of
the city and place them on the west
side, where other roads which pass
through are located.
Agitation for the removal of the
tracks has been made several times
since it was discovered that a mistake
was made when the road was allowed
to build through' the Antelope valley
and since the city has built up, cross
ings have become dangerous the en

it enters the city on grade at South
street to where it leaves at Holdrege,

the road, headed the delegation of
company officials who conferred with

Newspaper Not Clear
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
The Hague, Aug. 3. It is not
quite clear why the German censor
banned, beginning June 25, political
articles in the Frankfurter Zeitung.
The embargo, which is understood to
have been already raised, was im
posed, as he Reichstager Von Payer
explained, on account of a series of
articles by Professor, Max Weber of
Heidelberg.
The Frankfurter's" articles are un
signed, but the following are some
recent extracts to which the censor
conceivablw took exception. In one
an editoriar writer said:
"Russia wants peace, without an
nexations or indemnities Germany is
willing to conclude peace on that
basis with Russia Such a peace
automatically would result in a gen
eral peace. Thus the idea of a sep
arate peace if examined more closely
vanishes more and more under pres

tary Age" is Heard
Frequently.
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 15. One of the nn
heroic figures of the European war is
King Feijdinand of Bulgaria. This
royal personage has not set foot in
lvs dominions for seven months.
Much of the time his whereabouts
are a mystery, but occasionally he is
reported at some Austrian or Ger
man watering place. His only discov
erable activity is an occasional ex
change of decorations with one of
his royal allies.
Now and then he sends them con
gratulations on a victory, with as
surances that his Bulgarian sub
jects will be faithful to the alliance
to the ?ffd. According to appearances
the Germans will see to that. They
have relieved the wandering king of
most ot the cares ot state, and ap
parently are running his kingdom for
him, not only with German officers
commanding the army, but with Ger
mans in all departments of the gov
ernment. Ferdinand's, preference for foreign
soil is believed to be 'due to fear of
assassination at home, which has dog
ged him throughout his reign. Brav
ery is not supposed to be one of the
strong points of the fat and 'gouty
monarch. During the Balkan wars.
I correspondents said that he never; ap
proached within miles ot the trout,
aid lived in deadly fear of catching
typhus.
A king whose country is at war and
who lives the life of an absentee land
lord would not have lasted longNin
the days when kings were supposed to
lead their armies to battle. But times
have changed, and kings have changed
with them, there is a saying in Ger-
which had six sons oi military age
at the beginning of the war, and
which still has 'six sons of military
sure of necessity which must make i many that there is only one family
it a pari oi or an introductory to a
general peace."

"Desire for peace stronger here,
less strong elsewhere is unmistaka
ble. It can only be satisfied by peace

by non-binding statements of repre

deep they.Jnay be, of the community.
But who has the courage after three
years ot undecided wartare to say
that any step is not welcome which is
calculated to destroy prejudices,

Kitchener Still Lives,
Is Belief in England
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 15. The curiously
widespread belief in England that
Kitchener is still alive has now taken
a, new form; namely, the belief that
Kerensky is Kitchener. "Everybody
in our street is saying so, writes a
correspondent to one of the London
newspapers. The paper m reply points
out that Kerensky is a young man of
30, but remarks that this fact prob
ably will not weigh much with the
people who like this kind of thing.

(Correspomlonce of The Associated Pivfs.)
Paris, Sept. 15. Further details
have been obtained about the new
gas shells which the Germans are
now using, and their effect upon thr
persons who breathe the fumes.
Armentieres is the first town in the
annals of history to have been liter
ally poisoned to such a degree that
its civil population had to be re
moved lest it should be entirely de
stroyed. Wliilc heavy shells were rained on
the houses, forcing the people to take
refuge in the cellars a multitude of
small shells, not powerful enough to
smash a paving stone, fell every
where, in street and cou'rtyard and
garden. These shells contain no gas
or powder, but a colorless liquid
which spreads over the ground. Only
very slightly volatile, the liquid leave
traces for hours after the shell has
exploded. It evaporates very slowly,
producing a heavy gas, which niter
downward and reaches the cellars.
where refuge has been sought.
Largely Women Victims.
This gas, remarkably tenacious, has
made more victims among women
than among men, because it pene
trates the hair and remains there,
while tobacco smoke has proved an
unexpected protection for men. The
odor is described by some a-recall
ing acetylene, by others as resembling
mignonette, but the majority say it is
like hot mustard. It takes some time
to produce its effects.
Inhabitants of Armentieres who
have breathed its emanations in the
morning, when walking in the town,
have been able to return home with
out feeling any effect, but-five or six
hours later they have been obliged to
go to bed, and their condition has
rapidly become serious.
The bronchial tubes are affected
first, the eyelids become swollen and
little by little the sight is lost. All the
mucous membranes are attacked and
the body seems on tire, while burns
(which doctors described as of the
"second degree") cover all the skin
continuous cougning sets in, witn a
fever temperature, the -skin becomes
dull and sickly and the affliction
proves fatal in many cases.
Five Priests Killed.
A British army medical officer, pro
tected by a mask, exptsed himself to
the gas for a quarter of an hour as
an experiment and was burned all
over the body, except where the mask
protected his headend on the wrist,
where thotrap ot his watch offered
protection.
Father Camelot, dean of Saint-Vaast
at Armentieres. was poisoned, little
by little, as he performed his sacred
Kludge T!, Tn.K.
1916, has been reduced to a single
parish and Father Camelot took
charge of k, "wishing" as he said, "to
remain there as long as a single soul
remained." He is the fifth priest of
Armentieres to be a victim of the war.
The British army medical service
is making every effort to analyze the
liquid used for producing this gas. Its
emanations have an analogy with the
tear-producing gas, which blinds for
a time, hut the effects of the new
poison are infinitely more severe.
Mixture Not New.
French investigation of the liquid
tends to show that it is not a new
thing, but a mixture of sulphide and
chlorine, already studied and known,
but never before used in this manner.
The proportion of deaths to the num
ber of people affected is not high, not
1 per cent for the northern towns, but
the number of people affected may be
very great.
The public has been advised that
if during an air raid the smell of
mustard essence is noted to move
to the upper rtories and to breathe
through a compress soaked with a
certain solution. Women have been
told to wap their hair in a wet cloth.
Sawdust, sand or earth should be
thrown on any of the liquid that may
be seen before it has evaporated, the
authorities have warned; and finally,
if any serious case arises and no doc
tor is at hand, vomiting should be
produced as rapidly as possible and
then large quantities of milk should
be drink.

Baltimore International Mana
ger Has Turned Out Much Big
League Talent During His
Twelve -Year Career.
When it conns to picking out ball
players, developing them, and then
disposing of them to the major
leagues, Jack Dunn of the Baltimore
Internationals is just king. j
In the twelve years that Dunnic I
has managed the teams of Providence j
and Baltimore $150,000 has been!
turned over to him in cash and play-
ers for the twenty-three piaycrs he
has sent to the big show. !
He has made many record sales,
but the case of George Twonibly is
probably the most noteworthy. Fresh
from the liish school team of a little
town outside of Boston, Twonibly re
ported to Huni! about sjx years ao.
He was a shortstop and about as had
a one as could be found.
Dunn, however, saw a chance of his
Jieii'K developed and kept him around.
Later in the sermon he tried three
times to farm TwomMv, but each
time he was returned. The next year
Dunn succeeded in getting Twonibly
a job in a small lea -ue and he made
good. A third year found him in the
New York State le.'irMie and the fourth
he was a star for Baltimore!
When the Feds invaded Baltimore
Dunn sold Twomblv to Cincinnati for
$5,000. The Reds didn't lik him, and
they gave him back to Halt-more
with' the understanding that Dunn
cquld have him if he would live up to
the contract. Twomblv had signed in
Uedland. Back with Baltimore,
Twonibly hit well over .300 and last
winter Dunn sold him again. The Bos
ton Braves were the purchasers tin's
time and 500 was the amount they
gave up. Now Twonibly is bark in
the International league with Provi
