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.

Mrs. William Mettlen Presses
And Shrinks Hand-Knitted Socks
Mrs. William Mettlen has a real
job at the Red Cross inspection
warehouse. She presses and shrinks
every hand-knitted sock of the thou
sands which Nebraska women have
knitted for soldiers. She works all
day, every day but Sunday, at her vol
unteer task.
Whenever she shows signs of phys
ical weakening or complains of being
tired Mrs. H. E. Newbranch, who is
the "boss" of the knitting department,
has only to remind her: "That sock
may be intended for Glen, Mett," and
Mrs. Mettlen attacks her work with
renewed vigor. Glen is Mrs. Met
tlen's son, who is in the trenches
"somewhere in France."
. Mrs. E. A. Tegau is the shipping
clerk at the warehouse. She receives
all supplies and superintends all ship
ments. Mrs. Pegau only keeps four
different sets of books and is at her
post from 7:30 a. m. to 5 p. ni. each
day.
Mrs. Howard H. Baldrige, state
censor, is at her post each morning
at the same early hour.
