He sang some songs and went through funny antics that won him a whole boiler-shop of applause. "Two Bucks" Saved. "Gus" Miller reminded the boys that it would cost them "two bucks to hear Mr. Wilson at the Brandeis. Gertrude Hoffmann was also dining and scarcely had Mr. Wilson's ap- I Nineteen hundred boys wearing '. I'nclc Sam's uniforms consumed 3,000 cups of coffee, U0 dozen doughnuts, 50 cakes, popcorn balls, apples and : oranges, smoked cigar and ciaarets to ! their heart's content and gazed at a 1 beautiful Christmas tree at the Omaha Khaki club yesterday. The Rotarians. sponsors for the Khaki club, had arranged to see that the soldiers quartered at Fort Crook and Fort Omaha were given a rous ing Christmas and they succeeded. Many of the boys told the sponsors that they would not sleep last night until they had written to the folks at home telling how Omaha entertained the soldier boys who were forced to spend Christmas away from home. It is estimated that 45 per cent of the boys in khaki now quartered at the two forts accepted the invitation of the Rotarians to make themselves at home. All the good things to eat as well as the tree and the floral decorations were contributed by the Omaha Rotar ians. There are now 1,165 soldiers regis tered as members of the club. Government Is Making It Tough for the Bootleggers After January 1 the illicit manufac ture of distilled spirits will be more difficult than ever, and bootleggers will be forced to observe every sly precaution imaginable, for food con servation has stepped in with a strict regulation promulgated by the secre tary of the treasury and an executive order made by the president of the planse died down, when eight young United States. j women danced in and up the long The regulation follows: "1.

The regulation was signed by W . G. McAdoo and approved by President Wilson. Sick and Wounded Prisoners Will Be Well Taken Care Of Omaha mothers need have no fear regarding the treatment of their sons in enemy prison camps, assures the national committee on prisons and prison labor. Now that American sol diers are prisoners of war in Ger many, it is announced that arrange ments are being completed by the United Stales for the care of these men. Germany and the allies have already agreed to the internment in Switzerland of the sick and wounded prisoners captured by either of the belligerent:;. A similar agreement be tween the United States and Germany, it is said, is quite possible and very probable. The Swiss commission, recently in the United States, brought with them the details of the Swiss system of internment and hospitalization. Co lumbia university, at the request ot the national committee on prisons and prison labor, is making these facts available in a document just coming off the press. This document will be the means of quieting many fears which mothers might have. Sammies in France Crave Real American Chawing Gum Oue hears constantly of the great quantity of cigarets, cigars, pipes and smoking tobacco shipped to France, but rarely does one give full credit to the companion of "smokes" American chewing gum. Here is an opportunity for Omaha people, who have relatives or friends "over there," to give a little cheer and pleasure where there is so little of it. If has been said, and proven, that our boys in the army and navy positively crave real American chew ing sum. They can't get enough of it. "Where men must be alert you will find chewing gum," has become a proverb with the soldiers and sailors. Members of the navy league have undertaken the task of obtaining and distributing this luxury. AH contri butions for chewing gum gladly re ceived and acknowledged by . W. Pilkington, 26 Broadway, New York City. Two Girls Injured When Auto Collides With Truck of Miss Hoffmann's company, play ing at the Orpheum. After they had danced, Miss Hoff mann, herself, appeared at the door. She wore a heavy yellow plaid su't and carried a tiny handbag. She did not have her stage costume in the handbag, but she responded to the call of the boys and went up and danced for them. At the end of her dance she was presented with two big toquets by two of the smal'.est newsboys at the banquet. And what did Gertrude do but kiss both of them, to the great amusement and yells and cheers of the other 198. (The same two boquets, only about half an hour before, had been presented by the newsboys to their hosts, Mike and Tony.) "Never in the history of the Omaha newsboys has there been such a Christmas dinner as this," exclaimed "Gus" Miller after this astonishing display of stage taient. "Gus" was "overcome with emotion." So were Tony and Mi'-e and the rest. The newsies did full justice to the feast, "Good Kid" asked Tony for a knife "to cut his belt." "Fat." who weighs nearly 200 pounds, said he couldn't eat another bite as he fin ished his ice cream. Jefferis Makes Hit. Between the eats and the enter tainment there were several orators who gave the boys good advice. A. W. Jefferis was there in a long-tailed coat and had a fine brand of oratory with him that just suited the street merchants. The boys looked a little doubtful at first, when he told them they were disseminators of informa tion, but they soon decided he was all right and interrupted some of his patriotic remarks by applause. He made a most decided hit with the young newsies. "Billy" Kierstcad and Rome Miller, both of whom were once newsboys, made inspiring speeches. So did Judge Cooley. Paul Titsworth, Walter Hoye and some other newsboys did some ama teur entertaining before the , rofes sionals arrived. Leo Rosenthal pro vided flags, which were distributed to the boys. Frank Odorosio and Tony Nico tera, who assist Mike in managing The Bee boys, were also there with their wives. National Guardsman Dismissed From Service Washington, Dec. 26. Private Jerry Ward, attached to Company A, first separate battalion of negro troops of the district National Guard, has been sentenced to dismissal from the serv ice and three years at hard labor for killing Andrew J.

A Christmas tree entertainment was given inmates of the Old Feople's home on Fontenellc boulevard Christ mas day. Every resident of the home was presented with a Christmas sur prise in the form of a gift box, 60 of which were supplied by friends of the home. The boxes were distributed by "Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus" and a 1 corps of helpers, impersonated by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Evans, Gertrude Thiem, Helen and Mary Stenicka and Mar garet Mahaffey. The entire program was arranged by Mrs. John W. Evans. Lieutenant Glidden made a patriotic Christmas address. Mayor James C. Dahlman presenting Mrs. Edward Johnson, retiring president of the home, with the key to the city, com plimenting her upon her splendid service. Mrs. Johnson, who has served for 17 years as president of the Old Peo ple s home, was also presented with a jeweled brooch in appreciation of her long services. Mrs. James B. Butter, superintendent of the home, made the presentation remarks. The entertainment numbers in cluded vocal solos by Mrs. Samuel Foot and Lynn Sackett, a violin solo by Robert Hume and a monologue by Mrs. John W. Evans, who recited a poem of her own composition on the question of how to keep young. She distributed a copy of her poem with every gift box and when the gift boxes were opened disclosing delicate combs for silvery heads and lacy neck yokes, handkerchief, toilet sets and similar "Christmasy" gifts for elderly folk, the cheerful countenances and the Christmas spirit evidenced in the little group of old people at the home bore witness to the sentiment of one of the fine stanzas of Mrs. Evans' poem, which says: "The handoomrst picture you'll find Huns anywhere In any place Is one framed In the sliver hair Of a dear old ChrlBtlan face." America Should Consider Peace Offers, Says Cardinal Baltimore, Dec. 26. -Cardinal Gib bons responding to an inquiry today as to what he believed the most es sential thing to be done to end the war, issued the following statement: "I believe the best way to end the war early in the coming year is for the central powers to make a definite proposition, and one that will em brace all their aims and demands. "On the part of the United States, I believe that the best governmental action would be for the officials to put themselves in a receptive mood for the generous consideration of any peace offer that might come from the central powers. "I think that all Americans should put themselves in a position to sympa thetically receive and consider any of fer embodying fundamental conces sion that would commend themselves to the allies, and to ponder over these propositions in a dispassionate and broad minded way." Christmas, gladdest of all ec:le siaMical feat days, was celebrated with due pomp and ceremony at all the Catholic churches of the city yes terday. Beginning with a midnight mass at St. Joseph's hospital and closing with solemn high mass at St. Cecilia's cathedral at 11 o'clock, all had the opportunity to observe the birth of Christ in a titling manner. In a short sermon at the cathedral, Archbishop Harty extended congratu lations to Father Harrington, rector of St. Cecilia's on having on this Christmas the nev and beautiful structure so nearlv completed and to the congregation on the loyal and substantial support given him. Good Works Paramount. "We must judge oui fellow man by his work," he said. "As you cannot judge a tree by tl.e size of it trunk, neither can you judge a man by his attributes of sense. Good actions and good works are paramount. Christ took unto Himself one nature, the na ture of a man. "Let us then be like unto Christ. Let us resolve U imitate Him, that we may become more and more like Him during the coming year." A vested choir of 70 voices chanted the Introit and sang the "Ade-te Fi deles" at the offertory. The mass was sung by the archbishop's choir of 50 male voices. Following the mass the archbishop conferred the papal blessing. English Experts Perfect Devices to Find Submarines (Corresjiondattc o( The Associated Trem ) Stockholm, Dec. 26. Two of the methods by which the British are ef fectively fighting the German subma rine are by the use of new micro phone detectors and explosive bombs of enormous power, according to a writer in the Tidningcn, an authority on technical information. English experts have lately so per fected the use of the microphone on antisubmarine vessels, says the writer, that they are able to steer accurately and automatically down on the submarine, while formerly they were unable to locate a vessel be--eath the surface. The microphones are placed below the water close to the keel of the vessel, and answer the same purpose as the microphones of a telephone. By listening to the beat of the submarine's propeller they can determine the exact locat'on of the enemy and attack him before he has the slightest idea of what is hap pening. The detection instruments used with the microphones are very complex. One of them shows the distance of the submarine on a graduated scale, the indicator responding electrically to the sound from the submarine's propellors. The variations of distance are rhown with marvellous accuracy. Another device shows whether the enemy is on the port or starboard side. The electro magnet hand moves to the side on which the sound is loudest and the ship is guided ac cordingly. When the proper spot is reached bombs are dropped in the same man ner as from airplanes. Their under water force is so great that they can destroy a submarine 150 feet from the point of explosion. Trans-Siberian Railway t Is Severed at Irkutsk Teking, Dec 26. The Trans-Siberian railway has been severed near Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia, where the Bolsheviki have destroyed the locomo tive sheds and workshops. Heavy fighting between Bolsheviki forces and supporters of the original revolution ary party is occurring in many places in Siberia. VW k 4k V I Rev. Alfred E.

Senators Dispute Over Succession to Newlands Washington, D. C, Dec. 26. Dis pute over seniority membership of the senate interstate commerce commit tee between Senator Smith of South Carolina and Senator Pomerene of O., is expected to precipitate a sharp fight when the committee meets to name a chairman in place of the late Senator Newlands, who died at his home here last ..ight.
