Omaha Second Home to Soldier, Writes One Who Trained at Fort Omaha ha ir.x'u a name for itself in its treatment of the soldiers, imaha hospitality bids fair to become a tradition in the ranks, am! those "v. who have put tn their days of training here will remember the city .'oiuily. Here is the way one young man, Paul F. Hays of Bellaire. a uburb of Houston. Tex., wrote to the home folks about it in a letter pub lished in the Houston Chronicle. He was a member of Company H, Third Halloon squadron. He says: "1 don't think there is a hoy :ii the Third (the 'word third in Nebraska -tirely means something! but who will always remember Omaha and the people here, also the 'V.' They surely have treated us hue. I heard a soldier say the other day: '1 have been in the service eight years and nave been pretty near everywhere on this continent and some places off. I am a Canadian and left home when I was In, and this is the first time I have ever had to leave "home" since I left Canada.' So you see how they make us feel. At San Antonio and some of the other towns we came through a soldier was a soldier, and kind of a curiosity, and something to je scared of, but lure they take you in and make you at home. "1 have been in some homes like ours, and also in homes of people that have money, the kind I always thought were well, you know but they made us right at home and came out to the fort to visit us, so you ee we hate to leave. "1 haven't seen a soldier that has been here a week but what he will wear t hat he will always remember Oman? and her people, and they only iope they can do something some time to partly repay what Omaha and the 'V have done for them. "I guess you have always heard that a soldier never amounts to any :hing, but it's this way: While we were m San Antonio we couldn't break fto a good crowd, and the only way you had a good time was to go to he vaudevilles or dance halls. When we landed here the first thing the nys aked was. where are the dance halls? And one of the Second squad ron bovs said, 'You will change vour minds before lone,' and we surelv lid. "Now there isn't a boy in camp but goes to the 'Y' every night to read, write or play games. It certainly is crowded. The boys never, or hardly ever, go to town except on Saturday nights or Sunday, and then they always get their dates through the 'Y' and go to some home, and the girls here have got together and decided not to let the boys spend their money on them. "Sundays everyone that can get off takes some girl to church and to ner home for dinner. The Y' has three services on Sunday, and the officers fix it so most of the boys who have to stay in camp on duty can go over there. And, take it from me, there are fellows here that never went to :hurch who are going, and on Monday night you see them all together, talking about what they did and so on, and it is some different talk than jet'ore we came here." OMAHA BALLOON SQUADRON IS ON EUROPEAN SOIL Safe Arrival of Detachment That Left Five Weeks Ago Announced in Cablegram to Dr. Connsll.

Sutton, 1114 South Forty-eighth mas morning. Mr. Sutton, clad in pajamas, hotfooted it from his bed room to the telephone. He carefully placed the receiver to his off ear and bellowed into the transmitter: "Hello!" "Hello!" said the voice at the other end of the wire. Is this the chief clerk of the exemption board?" "No," responded Mr. Sutton, "I'm the chief clerk of the district appeal board." "Well, it's the same thing. Can't you come down to the hotel and help me fill out my questionaire? 1 don't know how to do it." And Chief Clerk Sutton, just to show that his heart beats in the inter est of his country, donned his clothes and without breakfast hastened to a downtown hotel and labored for three quarters of an hour helping a gentry from the tall and uncut to fill out his questionaire. Needless to say, Mr. Sutton did all the work while the "hick" lounged around and puffed like an overloaded locomotive on a cheap cigar. After the trying ordeal was over the chief clerk was rewarded with two words: "Thank you." Planned to Drive Great Wedge From Atlantic Ocean to Indian Ocean, Separating English Claims.

The new 19:8 style in maladies for women la belled "knitting nerves" will not be accepted in Chicago, it was stated today by women in position to know. The style originated in New York, where Dr. Louis R. Welzmiller, of the Young Men's Christian associa tion, was quoted as having discov ered the disease, due to overwork on war knitting. Dr. Julia St rawn said: "Nonsense. We give certain cases knitting in the hospitals to quiet their nerves." Miss Ima Taft, director of women's work, central division, Rtd Cross, remarked: "Our women are too busy to get 'knittiing iierves.' Most of them are now so proficient that they can read and knit at the same time. That doesn't look like nerves, does it?" Other women m the work talked in similar strain, from what it ap peared that the 1917 style of nerves would remain unchanged in this sec tion of the country. Ottawa, Dec. 28. A London dis patch to the Reuter agency here says: "In an article entitled 'The World Po litical Importance of German East Af rica.' the Cologne Gazette confesses that Germany has for years aimed in the creation of a German wedge di viding Africa from sea to sea. Al though Germany in 1911, by treaty with France, 'apparently' made re nunciation of the idea of a great colonial empire, she 'really aimed at the creation of a German-Belgian economic area in the Congo basin from the Indian ocean to the Atlantic' Thus, when the war commenced, Ger many was 'deliberately exploiting her incomparable geographical position in east Africa'." The Gazette says this position con stituted a wedge between the Eng lish claims to sole domination in east Africa and south Africa a dividing and immovable wedge. "All our wishes will be realized," the paper continued, "only if by our battles in Europe we can compel England to recognize us as an equal colonial power."
