l'HEBKK: OAIAHA, WEDNESDAY, JANUAKY U. 1918. MEN OF SEVENTH DESIRE TO FIGHT AND HOTPARADE Rush Recruiting Offices to Enter Different Branches s of Service; Invited to Deming. Omaha recruiting records are in a fair way to be broken with the dis bandment of the Lucky Seventh. That they enlisted to fight and not for dress parade was shown early ' Tuesday morning when they swarmed into army and navy recruiting offices vol unteering their services. Recruiting officers are reluctant to take men of draftage until they have lecured their discharge from .he Sev enth and they can then onjy enter the regular service by induction. The tavy is taking men under draft age jpon presentation of a certificate of their age. Invited to Cody. . A telegram was received from Lieu tenant Colonel Hollingsworth, for merly 01 tjie rath Nebraska, inviting members of the disbanded bev tnth to join the 34th division, sta tioned at Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., which is not recruited up to its re iyred standard. The division con tains many of the men in the former . Nebraska National Guard units. Twenty-five signed an agreement to inter the service with this division. Men of draft age are securing the necessary certificates for induction and others will enlist. One party of 15 went in a body to the naval re-1 cruiting ohice to cast their lot with the sailors Officers in command of the vari ous companies are unanimous in ex pressing the opinion that a large' per centage of the men will ask to be taken into "service immediately. The navy is making an industrious cam paign for recruits. ' Former commissioned officers of National Guard units are eligible to entrance in officers' training camps and many of the officers are planning attending these schools in order to gain entrance into the army. It is not unlikely that every officer of the Omaha battalion will apply for en trance to the next camp. , Definite action of officers and men is being delayed awaiting the arrival of the order, of disbandment from the adjutant general. Information was received from Governor Neville that these notices were being pre pared and would be mailed at once. In the meantime the universal .expres sion, among officers and men is, "Where do we go from here, boys?" Governor Keith Neville sent the following telegram to Secretary of War Baker:- ' "Seventh Nebraska National Guard has been disbanded to enable men to enlist in service as individuals. In view of the fact the amendment to the selective service regulations changing status of men of draft age in national guard units was announced by the provost marshal general too late to enable men in the Seventh infantry to secure discharges and enlist be fore De:ember IS, I request that they be allowed to enlist 'and assigned to the Thirty-fourth division." Police Say C. Bird, Alias E. Bosnian, Much-Wanted Man Charles Bird, alies Ed Boshien, ar rested Monday by detectives on a charge of burglarizing the home of Mrs. Frank Dolan, is a much wanted man, according to police. Besides several other Omaha robberies, Bixd is said to-"have left a long trail of crime in his wake in various cities of the middle west. He admits having served time in the Nebraska and Kansas state peni tentiaries. Police says he is wanted at Fort Madison, la., to serve an un expired sentence for burglary. All the goods stolen from Mrs. . Dolan have been recovered by the de tectives. Occupants of a house at 2635 North Fifteenth street, Fred Wagner, Elsie Creamer and Alice Hutfles, were ar rested for receiving stolen property and were fined $10 and costs each in police court. Members of Seventh May Enlist in 134th Infantry Lieutenant Colonel Hollingsworth of the 134th infantry advises mem bers of the former Seventh regiment that there are berths waiting for them in the 134th if they wish to enlist as privates in the United States army. A number have responded to the in vitation. Major Frith agrees to give the men transportation to Camp Cody. - Second Lieutenant Edward Zipfel and Sergeant Patten are active in re cruiting the members of the disbanded regiment into the army service. De tachments are on their way from companies of the Seventh at Thurs ton, Emerson, Oakland, Vailey and Springfield, according to Lieutenant Zipfel.
