THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY. OCTOBER 1. M. i Nebraska 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. ROCK ISLAND MUST MOVE MAIN TRACKS City of Lincoln Proposes En trance Into Town Shall Be in Locality of Other Road Terminals. 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. Persistent Advertising Is the Road o Success. (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 tire length of the road from where it enters the city on grade at South street to where it leaves at Holdrege, a distance of about two miles, cutting Antelope park in two or three places.

Suppression of German 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 GERMAN GAS SHELLS.

ROYALTY NO LONGER LEAD MEN IN BATTLE v "But One Family in Germany Still Has Six Sons of Mili 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.

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." -Anfith'er article, waV devoted to the German socialists peace memorial in-, age, ciuaitrg tnese assertions: "Desire for peace stronger here, less strong elsewhere is unmistaka ble. It can only be satisfied by peace becoming an accomplished fact, not by non-binding statements of repre sentatives Of a single strata, however deep they.Jnay be, of the community.

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.

"Following the speculative rise in the price of shoes, clothes and food, the price of type writers, particularly of American standard makee has gone up 30 per cent.

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.

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.
