THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. JANUARY 14. 191&. Nebraska DEMOCRATS OF THE STATE OUT IN COLD WATER Faithful Ones Picking .Out the Political Plums That They Would Like to Shake Off the Bush. Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 13. (Spec 'Vho is who" in the democratic tight for the United States senate appears to be as far from solution as ever, There are plenty of men in the "men tioned" class, but few have gone far enough to feel the cold political wa ters. Attorney General Reed has been swimming around and Edgar Howard says he is in, although he has not of ficially wet his feet. Both of these men can safely be counted, however, as in to stay and will fight it out with each other, if no other candidates ap pear. Morehead May Enter List. Within the last few days it has looked as if former Governor John H. Morehead of Falls City would soon make a showing. It may appear most any time. It is intimated that Gover nor Neville would take a chance, though he denies all aspirations. There is an old saying that wise men change their minds and while the gov ernor might be wise in getting in, there is still another proposition that calls for much wisdom and that is the meeting of the natural political foe in November, the republicans. Democrats are trying to gather much consolation from the action of the recent republican conference in Fremont by charging that the con ferees dodged the issue of American ism and adopted an otherwise set of resolutions, but as the much talked of amendment was introduced by Ross L. Hammond, whose Americanism cannot be questioned and whom many have held up as one of Nebraska s foremost typical Americans, it is hard see where they are going to get very far. One More Problem. Another problem which democrats are worrying about is what the pres ent governor is going to do about running for a second term. . There is a sort of feeling that the governor is getting rather tired of his job. He has faced a situation such as no gov ernor of Nebraska ever faced before and has come out of it so far very creditably, but it is understood that there are some things about being governor he never suspected which do not exactly strike him as a very great inducement to have to go up against. The governor wanted to go to war at the head of either the Sixth or Seventh regiments. He passed up the Sixth that he might stay on a job where the government needed a good man and then he was rewarded by having the government pass him up in his ambitions to head the Seventh. Should Governor Neville refeuse to longer continue in the political game, either as a candidate for governor or the senate, it would be up to the democrats to pick another man to head the state ticket. They acknowl edge that the picking m the demo cratic party is not good. Pneumonia Ravages Up-State Hog Herds Stella, Neb., Jan. 13. (Special.) Dr. Grau, government vetermenan for Richardson and Nemaha counties, with head quarters at Auburn, states that pneumonia exists to a consider able degree among the hogs in his territory, though they are free from cholera, there being only a few cases here and there. The pneumonia is partly due to the weathers and partly to lack of proper care. Dr. Grau advises that whenever pneumonia appears that the pens be f thoroughly tleaned, new bedding sup plied and the dust removed as the constant brathing of dtist will in duce the disease. The' disease yields to treatment and the loss has not been heavy. 4 Cold Weather Has Not Injured Live Stock Stelia, Neb., Jan. 13. (Special.) Though the winter began early and an unusual amount of- severely cold weather has prevailed it has been an easy winter on live stock, being unusually dry and with little snow. This gave stock, especially cattle, a chance to forage or feed at straw stacks, requiring little grain or hay. There has not been a soaking rain since the first week of September, and cisterns are dry or very low. Friday was the coldest of the winter, from 18 to 29 degrees below zero being report ed at various points. Sweeping Changes in Nemaha County Schools Stella, Neb., Jan. 13. (Special.) Miss Nemaha Clark of Auburn, for merly county superintendent of Ne maha county, is the new principal of Bralton Union Consolidated school northwest of Stella, taking the place of Prof. Bert Taylor. Prof. Taylor and his wife bcth resigned from the school anrf she is now teaching in Humbolt. Miss Buckingham of Au burn took Mrs. Taylor's place in the' school. The other teachers are Miss Knight of Lincoln, and Miss Willie Davis of Humbolt. The teachers oc cupy the teacherage building on the school campus. Richardson Farmer Raises biggest Ear of Corn in State Stella, Neb., Jan. 13. (Special.) rthur Ruch, a Richardson county iarmer residing east of Shubert, raised an ear of corn which has 26 rows and an apparent average of 50 grains to the ;ow. a total of 1,300 grains. This exceeds the ear of corn with 1,222 grains raised by a Gage county farmer that has been attract ing attention in the newspapers. Spencer Man Reported Summoned on Slacker Charge Spencer, Neb., Jan. 13. (Special Telegram.)

CROWDS LURED BY DRAFT TO COURT Twenty or More Lawyers Are On Duty to Assist Reg istrants Who Ap pear. The rotunda of the court house each day is crowded with a motley crowd of registrants filling out ques tionnaires, twenty or more lawyers are on duty as members of the Doug las County Advisory board. The united work of all the. lawyers disposes of about 500 cases a day, about 90 percent of whom claim exemption, or if they do not claim it themselves, wives or other depend ents claim it for them. Registrants are of all sizes and styles. Big and little, crippled and sound, white and black, bright and dull, lively and slow. There is a babel of tongues, Yiddish, Russian, Polish, Roumanian, English, Italian, and a dearth of interpreters. There are women too, big, little, old, young, white, black, some with babies, some with toddling young sters clinging to their skirts, some with the garb of widowhood and the gray locks of age, accompanying stalwart sons on whom they depend for support. One of the unpleasant features of the work is the alacrity with which citizens of foreign birth lead their fellow countrymen to the tables and desert them, to avoid acting as inter preters. There are bits of conversation to be overheard. "Well, mother, I'm Irish and I'm game. I'll go if they call me." "But, Mike. I'm too old to get along alone, and I'm not going to sign any consent." "No, indeedy, honey," says a stout colored woman to a dapper young darkey about half her size, "I don't count to let you go, suah. Youse mah on'y dependence and I'm a'goin' to keep you. Sposin' that kaiser shoots a bomb into you, who's goin' to support mah? No, indeedy, honey. No, indeedy 1" . At one of the tables sits a man with a worried look and he lingers long over one of his answers. "Say," he says to a lawyer, "Can't I get out ot answering that ques tion? That's all over long ago, and I don't want to put that down." The lawyer shakes his head and a whispered conversation follows. Then the man wipes the perspiration from his flushed face and the lawyer writes down the answer. It is an admission of a conviction for crime, a niurder committed in the heat of passion while in his teens, for which he served a term in prison. In another vear the registrant would have been bevond the draft age. From one corner of the rotunda comes the echo of a vigorous collo quy between husband and wife. He is a husky laboring man, and she a snappy-eyed little Irish woman. He wants her to insist on her claim of dependency. The little woman sets her foot down with a stamp that is heard all over the rotunda. "No. indeed. I won't sign any con sent to let you stay home. You never did anything for rue and I've had to work for mvself. I'd be bet ter off without you than with you, and I hope they take you and do it quick. World Classic of Patriotism Supplied Italian Soldiers It is not surprising that every sol dier in the Italian army.nas Deen tur nished with an idiomatic translation of Edward Everett Hale's "The Man Without a Country," for it is a world classic of patriotism, capable of thrill ing to deeds of heroic self-sacrifice all who are not like Scott's hypothetical ingrate, "with soul so dead Who never to himself has said. This Is my own, my natlva land." It might well be circulated in every language, for its appeal is universal. Its vividness, its verisimilitude and its psychological insight have made it so powerful that it leaves an enduring impression on every reader. It is re grettable that copies were not early put into the hands of "international ists," whose queer conduct has been so embarrassing in the great war. Even some members of congress might profitably ponder its great les son. It is a strange fact that this classic, everywhere proclaimed a consummate work of art, designed for all peoples and all times, was really written as a political campaign document, to aflfett a gubernatorial election in a single state. It appeared anonymously in the December, 1863, number of the At lantic Monthly. Its author, who, by the way. was a grand-nephew of the immortal Nathan Hale, who regretted that he had but one life to give his country, aimed it at Clement L. Val landigham. He expected it to appear in October, so that it might help John Brough, republican, union candi date tor governor oi unio, Deai val landigham. It was not needed, for Brough won by 100,000, but Dr. Hale never forgave the "languor" in the office of the Atlantic, amounting to an "infelicity." which deferred the appearance of the story until after the election. It will be recalled mat after Vallandigham had been de feated for re-election to congress, be cause of his opposition to the war, he was arrested in May, 1863, for dis- lovaltv. President Lincoln changed the court-martial sentence of impris onment to banishment from the fed eral lines. Being not well received in the south, Vallandigham went from Wilmington to Bermuda, and thence to Canada, staying there when nominated for governor. The title of the story fitted him well. But if it had appeared in time,"would it have lived? Campaign literature seldom does. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Fr-Causes $1,500 Loss In Restaurant at Minden Minden, Neb., Jan. 13.

Civilians in Italian Streets Witness Spectacular Sky Battle With Germans Airmen Flying at Height of 12,000 Feet Teutons Conduct Campaign of Terrorism; Seek to Frighten Peasantry Rather Than Gain Military Advantage. (By Associated Press.) Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Jan. 13. Aerial war fare on an extensive scale is develop ing now that operations along the Piave river and on the mountain front have become inactive owing to the wintry conditions. Beeinnine with a series of night raids during the moonlight oyer Padua sfnd other undeiendeu Italian cities, the enemv now is becoming bolder and daily appears in broad daylight above the small cities near the front. Three raiders approached yesterday and the crowds in the streets saw a spectacular battle in the sky. The Germans flew at an altitude of 12,000 feet, where the temperature was 30 degrees below zero. Worn the ground the aeron anes ooked like tiny specks in the bright sun light. Shrapnel from the city's air defenses, burst all around them. Capronis Chase Raiders. A exeat cheer went up from the crowds as a fleet of Italian Capronis made straight for the raiders, llie Germans adopted the ruse of dropping and the sightseers became tumultuous in their shouts because tney tnougnt the enemy machines were being driven down bv the Italian airmen. But the raiders regained stability and succeeded in planing away until two of them were brougnt down by Italian airmen. Both of the raiders were caotured and proved to be Ger mans, as had been expected. As thev aliehted. the enemy avia tors sprang from their machines and set them afire before their captors could interfere. A third raider was taken at about the same time by a British chaser on the upper Piave river. No one was killed by the raiders, but a fragment of falling shrapnel wounded a boy who had been stand ing in the street. Would Terrorize civilians. These davlieht raids after the re cent series of destructive and tJeadly night raids over Padua, Castel Franco Cicenza, Mestre and Monte Belluna, lead to the impression that the enemy has embarked on an extensive air ram . . . nolicv somewhat similar to the subma rine campaign. The air attacks are directed chiefly against civilians, in stead of the military, apparently with the purpose of terrorizing the civilian noDulation. The enemy's avoidance of fighting in the open with the Italians and their allies makes it evident that the invad ers are less interested in obtaining mastery in the air on the military front than in spreading fear among the inhabitants of the towns and the peasantry far behind the front. . Among the many recent raids only one has been made against a mili tary objective. This was against an aerial camp of the Italians and the British near Treviso, and was so heav ily repulsed 11 enemy machines be ing destroyed that alt later raids have been ma.de against the undefend ed communities. Reminiscence of an Unsung American Hero Everybody knows about young De catur's exploit, when he burned the captured Philadelphia in the harbor of Tripoli. Lord' Nelson himself called it "the most bold and daring act of the age." But how many know that this brief war against the North African pirates also produced a "General" Eaton the first man who ever plant ed our flag on foreign soil? At that time (1804) Eaton was the American envoy to Tunis. He .con ceived the audacious plan of deposing the wicked bashaw of Tripoli by force of arms and setting up instead the ba shaw's brother, who was an exile among the Mamelukes of Egypt. It doesn't sound like a very scrupulous respect for the rights of a small state, but Eaton was authorized to attempt it by his chiefs in Washington, though they couldn't promise him much sup port. Eaton didn't care for assistance. He went to Egypt and raised a band of adventurers white ' and tawny and black, atl under the American flag. They crossed the Desert of Barca. The first point of attack was the im portant coast town of Derna, which was guarded by 3,000 Tripolitan fight ing men, but which baton and his ad venturers carried by storm. Eaton was wounded in the first at tack. He lay there on a bastion of dried mud, with his face to the west toward Washington! still giving his orders as the sun went down. There was a final assault; then down from the last redoubt of all came the old pirate ensign, and up went the Stars and Stripes instead.' At that, in spite of his , wounds, Eaton was for going on and storming Tripoli as well. But peace Intervened, and Eaton drops thenceforward out of sightl-Munsey's Magazine.

DAYLIGHT BILL IS TO BE PUSHED AS WAR MEASURE Act Passed by Senate in June Will Be Taken Up by House; Would Conserve Coal,' Light and Power. Washington, D. 'C; Jan. 13. The daylight saving bill, which passed the senate last June, will be considered by the house soon after the emergency railroad and other war legislation recommended by the president is out of the way. Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Kitchin and Representative Thetus Sims, chairman of the house commit tee on interstate 'and foreign com merce, will work for the passage of the measure. The bill, which provides for the ad vancing of the clocks of the nation one hour from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in Septem ber, is now in the interstate and for eign commerce committee of the house, where it was pigeonholed by Representative V. C. Adamson of Georgia, vfho was chairman of that committee until December 18. The present chairman. Mr. Sims, is in fa vor of the proposition and will press for action on it. Speaker Clark Approves It. "I think from what I know of the bill," said Speaker Clark, "that it is a good thing, especially in the saving of fuel and light. We are told it will save coal, and I believe it will." Chairman Sims said: "I am strong ly in sympathy .with the purpose of the measure. At first 1 thought it the product of some enthusiast who did not know what he was about, but the more I know of it the better I like it, Adopted in Europe. "This is no new proposition, for 12 European countries have adopted it and every one of them is pleased with it. If we do not follow other coun tries there will be inconvenience to bankers, railroads and other indus trial enterprises. "The measure would mean a great increase in production in this country. It would also mean a great saving in light and fuel and power. It is said that hundreds of thousands of tons of coal were saved by tho city of Lon don by the adoption of the system. Representative W. P. Borland of Mossiuri, the first member of the house to advocate daylight savings is confident the bill be passed. Urged as a War Measure. He said: "The adoption of the daylight sav ing plan is urged as a war measure by the Chamber of Commerce of the United states, representing 80 trade and commercial bodies. The advisory commission to the National Council of Defense passed a resolution indorsing it. It is urged as a war measure by committee on public safety of Massa- cnusens, Maine, vermonr, incw Hampshire, Rhode Island and Con necticut and many in dividuals, cities, towns and civic organizations throughout the country." The measures advocates claim that it will accomplish the following re sults: Promote the greater use of daylight or recreative purposes. Benefit the physique, general health and welfare of all classes of the com munity. Reduce the industrial, commercial and domestic expenditure on artificial night. Reduce the use of fuel by closing up the furnace one hour earlier at night. Give to school children an hour longer for play and diversion after school hours. Omaha Captain Tells of Dangers on War Front An officer of the Fort Omaha bal loon school gives this interesting out line of the dangerous work that .will be done by the American balloon corps at the battle front in r ranee. It is peculiarly timely because an other detachment is awaiting orders to go to the front. The methods of the air squadrons are simple and concise," he said. "When the troops are preparing to go 'over the top,' large numbtrs of bal loons are concentrated as secretly as possible in masked camps," in order not to betray what is about to take place. "At the appointed moment they will take the air and divide up every de tail of the battle amongst them. Some will record the artillery fire, shot by shot; others will see to it that the work of demolition behind the ene my's lines is effective: others will guard against any reinforcements or traps. "As the American forces advance the balloons also will move forward along routes previously prepared. "The work of the balloonist is intri cate in its detail. Every change that takes place on the enemy's side of the 8-mile range of his eye is prompt ly reported by telephone to the ground.

Wright, public librarian, from R. Tucker, Young Men's Christian association secretary at the camp, Mr. Tucker says that the men have plenty of historical books and volumes de voted to war study, but that the big need now is for ordinary, every-day school books in every line. "I am having daily demands for educational books, along almost all lines," Mr. Tucker said. "The men are very anxious to take advantage of their spare time by trying to improve their education. They are a busy lot, but ambitious. I am having constant calls for spellers, algebras, histories, trigonome tries, geographies, English, French and Spanish grammars, radio, tele graph and telephone books and books on other technical subjects."

Khaki is said first to have been adonted in British India, in 1848, by Sir Henry Burnett Lumsdcn, who had been asked to equip a corps of guides to collect intelligence and to conduct an English force on the northwest ern frontier of India. The cloth used was a light cotton drill, as suited the climate in Hindustan, and took its name trom a native term, Kiiani, which means in the Urdu language, "dusty," being derived from "khak" or dust. I n us tnc term appucn iu the color of the cloth rather than to the material. According to the dic tionary, it is pronounced kaykee by the natives, but the English pro nounce it as kharkee, and this is the correct pronunciation. Havimr been approved, the use of the cloth spread from the guides to others in the Indian army, and it was worn in the Sepoy mutiny of 1857 by the English troops. In the Boer war, 1889-1902, khaki was adopter! in tne Rrkish service for an active serv ice uniform, and so worn by all Eng lish and colonial troops m Africa. Hut as cotton was not warm enough for the African highlanders, uniforms of the same "kind were made of serge, and the term khaki thus included woolen as well as cotton fabrics. Be cause it was well fitted for the cli mate of Cuba and the Philippines, the United States chose khaki for the soldiers uniforms during the pan-ish-American war.

Berlin Prof. Says Kaiser May Renounce All Gains Amsterdam, Jan. 13. Address ing the Polish society of Berlin, Prof. Hans Delbrueck, of the Uni versity of Berlin, who has on sev eral occasions made important statements regarding future peace, said that Germany might com pletely renounce territorial acqui sitions, both in the east and west. Honesty, he added, was desir able, not on pacific grounds, but on those of higher political sa gacity. The practical proof of the correctness of this conception, he contended, was to be found in the success of the British policy with respect to South Africa.

Neb., Jan. 13.-(Spe-cial.) The oil well a mile north of town, -which has been in process of drilling for' the past several months, has been pronounced a failure. Mr. John Dally received a telegram from J. G. Mcintosh, the field man, to pull the casings, dismantle the rig and prepare it for removal. This is quite a disappointment to our citizens, aud quite expensive to. Mr. Hurst, who has spent much money in sinking the well. Miss Emilv McDonald of Humboldt was instantly killed at Morrowville, Kan., recently, where she had gone to visit relatives, and a younger sister and a young man who were in the car with her were seriously injured. Just how the accident occurred is not known. Funerat services were held at the Methodist church in Humboldt and interment was in Humboldt ceme tery. A Skilled Juvenile Artlht. Pestle is a bright one. The other day her teacher set her. and her schoolmates to drawing, letting them choose their own subjects. After the teacher had examined what the other children had drawn, she took up IleMle's sheet. "Why,' what's thlst" she said. "You haven't drawn anything at all, child." "Please, teacher, yes I have," returned Bessie. "It' a. war picture a long Una-of ammunition wagnna at the front. You can't see 'em 'cause' they're 'camouflaged." Boston Transcript .
