MEN OF SIXTH REGIMENT FIGHT
FIRST BATTLE WHEN THEY OBEY
ORDERS DIVIDING COMMANDS
This is Word General Harries Gives Officers Who Sere-
nade Him After Receiving Notice That Brigade
. Is No More; Remember All Are Sol-
k
' i diers of U. S.
BY A MACHINE GUN MAN.
Demihg, N. M., Oct. 3.-The
"Dandy" Sixth regiment is no more.
It nasi been disintrrgated and scat
tered to the winds. Part of the First
battalion goes one place as military
police; I another part becomes engi
neers and a third becomes a supply
train. About the Only consolation is
that the various parts will remain in
the v Thirty-fourth division and un
doubtedly will go to France or some
where else together.
The "Dandy" Sixth, which by the
way' has lost its designation of
"Dandy," for this would hardly do in
the best of military circles, was or
ganized in practically fifteen days.
With the exception of the Tecumseh
company, all of the companies were up
to war strength. Omaha gave to this
regiment four infantry companies, one
machine gun company and a band, .all
six organizations being recruited to
full war strength before leaving the
state for Denting. . .
Illinois furnished a volunteer regi
ment; Nebraska also furnished a vol
unteer organization. These were the
only really volunteer organizations in
the country.
With green men and with officers
who at least in recent years had paid
little attention to military affairs, the
Sixth Nebraska regiment has within
sixty days' developed into one of the
most efficient - organizations to be
found in Camp Cody today. Citizens
of Omaha who witnessed, the entrap
ment of the Omaha battalion and the
machine gun company, saw the splen
did young men, almost 700 of them,
march in step through the city and to
the depot and in an orderly manner
board the train In twelve minutes,
ma jradd their attention to the splen
did efficiency of his organization. And
yet two weeks -in "Camp Cody under
the strenuous training which the Ne
braska boys have , undergone has
brought about such an improvement
in the Sixth s to bring respect to that
organization throughout the , entire
camp. . ' v ' '
Soon after General Harries, in com
mand of the: Nebraska brigade, was
apprised of the shakeup1 he called
for a brigade review of the three Ne
I braska regiments. This review was
1 held last Friday. It was the first re
view and it was the last review. All
three regiments made splendid show
ings. In military circles the Sixth Ne
braska regiment wag generally ac
credited ; with having made the best
showing. On the night, that the or
der came" out, Saturday,' the officers
of the Sixth regiment, headed by the
band and, Colonel P. L. Hall and Ma
jors" Harries, Davis and Hogate,
marched, in columns of twos to the
camp of the Fifth regiment. Here'
they "were met by officers of the
Fifth and a rousing welcome took
Rlact. The band broke loose in live
r tuune of "Hail, Hail, the Gang's
All Here." Colonel Paul was intro
duced toi the Sixth regiment officers
and his first thoughts were words of
commendation for the manner In
which the officers of the Sixth ac
cepted their fate. V. C ' ;
"This new order breaks, up a won
derful organization," declared Colonel
Paul. "Yet we must all remember
this; we no longer are soldiers of Ne
'braska or of Iowa or of New York
or of Texas; we are no longer sol
diers of any state in particular or of
many states, but we are soldiers oi
th United States and the spirit which
you men have shown here tonight is
the spirit which is being shown by the
soldiers of all the states; and this
spirit is going to win; it's going to
crush the kaiser. ' ;
"The Sixth Nebraska regiment,
while it is the junior organization, is,
indeed, one that we can all feel justly
proud of. And I have no hesitancy
in stating here that in the brigade re
view held yesterday the Sixth Ne
braska made the finest showing. It
was a wonderful showing.
A short time before this Colonel
Hall made a brief talk to his officers.
At times his eyes watered and he had
difficulty In choking back one of those
big lumps that come in the throat
when grief or disappointment over
takes one. He had lost a regiment;
and it was a regiment of which he was
intensely proud, v
"We must remember this, men," he
said. "We are soldiers of the United
States and we will accept any assign
ment to which our superior officers
select for us." ' s,
This in substance was the message
which Colonel Hall sent back to the
division commander when General
Harries broke the news to him that
. his regiment was, to be taken away
from him. Then came a message back
from the division commander: "My
compliments to the commanding offi
cer of the Sixth Nebraska regiment
and tell that splendid, patriotic soldier
that I would like to see him at once.
HVhile Colonel Hall lost his regt
ment. General Harries lost bis, on
gade; and it was one that he, too, was
greatly pleased over. General Har
ries left one of the most responsible
offices in one of the biggest electrical
corporations in the country to become
brigade commander of the Nebraska
troops , .
After the officers of the Sixth regi
ment left Colonel Hall they marched
to brigade headquarters and sere
naded the general. He came out hat
less and stood in the center of the
little group of officers.
"You're a splendid group of men,''
he said with emotion. "You have
fought your first battle; that fight in
which sentiment plays such a great
part. I know just how you felt when
youjearned of thir order; there was
that heavy feeling around the heatr
and you fought to restrain it from
gaining supremacy over you; and you
won out That's the spirit that wins
and you men will win out wherever
you go; there is nothing that can keep
you down. I was proud of your or
ganization and your colonel was
proud of his regiment and I am quite
certain that this is one of the great
est disappointments that has ever
Come to him."
As the generat stepped inside of his
headquarters the Sixth regiment offi
cers started back to their own camp.
Here the incinerator fires were burn
ing brightly; the men had learned ol
the new reorganization and for the
most party they accepted their fate
and, became engulfed with the same
spirit manifested by the officers. Some
were singing, while in a far distant
corner of the camp could be heard the
occasional strains of popular ragtime
from string instruments. !
At 8:30 the camp was still; some ot
the officers had gone to "town," some
had retired. "Across the street" it
was even more still. Where the en
listed men had gone no one seemed
to know. They were either' not there
or'else they had determined to drown
their disappointment in sleep. The
huge fires of the incinerators, which
but half an hour before had sent their
reddened flames out through their
chimneys, were now but smouldering
embers.
, On the following day- Sunday, the
men were mustered in for pay and In
the afternoon a picture was taken ot
the regiment This was the official
picture of the "Dandy" Sixth. It was
the first and again it was the last. And
this is all that, will be left by which
the "Dandy" Sixth will be remem
bered as an organization, but the
spirit of the officers and the spirit of
the men of this organization will be
remembered long after the picture
'fades away and becomes an unrecog
nizable piece ot paper. -

DISTRICT BOARD
UNDOES URE'S WORK
Local Exemptor Wrathful Be
cause Higher Appeal Exempts
Ten Per Cent Men He Cer.
tified for Service.
"These figures speak for them
selves," said W. G. Ure, chairman,,
in giving out a summary of the work
of local exemption board No. 1, "but
I do wish to say that I am very wrath
ful hrranae nf the action of the dis
trict board in exempting twenty-seven,
or more than 10 per cent ot the men
we certified for service. Just because
these fellows have a yellow streak and
make a lot of noise when they talk to
the district board is no reason why
they should be excused from service.
Board No. 1 considered the cases of
these men very carefully and found
that many of them had not the slight
est grounds for their claim, inree
hifnrfrrii anH'niir m mi were exerhcted
by board No. 1 out of a total of 596
men fit for service because they sup
ported dependents Or were- aliens.
This is more than 50 per cent of the
cases considered. Also I want to point
out the fact that fifty-four men of this
district enlisted before they were
callld." , t
Below is a summary of the work of
the board:; Eight "hundred and two
men were examined, 208 were unfit for
service, 306 were discharged because
they supported dependents or were
aliens, 165 have been sent to Camp
Funston and thirty-four will be sent
soon, five have not reported or 'have
run away, two have been transferred
to. other districts for examination,
fifty-four enlisted prior to being
called, twenty-seven have been ex
empted by the district board, and in
one case the district board has not
yet given a decision.
Offers to Sell Potatoes
And Onions at Cost
Potatoes and onions at cost price
from producer to consumer this win
ter is the prospect the downtrodden
C. P. of Omaha are offered by one H.
II. Auerbauch. -
"I have made contracts with cer
tain growers to supply me with po
tatoes and onions at current market
prices. To these prices will be added
the actual overhead expense, which
will be about 15 centt per bushel 1
will then sell to the public at a re
duction of 25 cents to 35 cents per
bushel under the prevailing retail
prices," runs Mr. Auerbauch's state
ment. A store room has been rented at
318 South Fifteenth street, where the
tubers will be displayed for sale. A
delivery charge of 5 cents per bushel
will place the potatoes or winter on
ions in your cellar in any part of the
city.
Mr. Auerbauch offered this plan of
direct selling between producer and
consumer, reducing prices to cost, to
the city commissioners last spring
when he urged them to install a
municipal market such as has been
established in other cities, but the
proposition was turned down on ac
count of lack of funds. He is now put
ting it through as a private citizen.

Fear Shortage for Jury
On Next Panel Monday
As in the case of the first 110 ven
iremen summoned, the ranks of the
second panel of jurymen for the fall
term of district court will be sadly'
depleted because of the draft and the
large number of enlistments in the
army and navy. The next panel of
jurors will report Monday morning,
but judges will be satisfied if ninety
prospective jurors are available.
A couple of criminal cases one a
woman charged with murder and the
other a man charged with intend to
kill are on the call for Monday, but
attorneys for both cases are u of
town and the trials probably wi I be
set over. A big batch of lawsuits for
juries will be tried. J?ge Sears, pre
siding judge, assigned a large number
of cases for tral when swarms of at
torneys swooped down upon him Sat
urday morning.
May Appoint War
Trade Council to
Control Commerce
Washington, Oct 6.-A war trade
council, to take entire control of the
country's foreign commerce, is un
der consideration by President Wil
son. The new organiiation would ab
sorb the present exports administra
tive board and become one ot tne
most important of the governments
war agencies. .
Mere control of exports it mas been
found has not given the government
sufficient power to prevent certain
trading with South American firms or
German origin who are suspected ot
aiding Germany in many ways.
