ACCEPT BIDS FOR CAMP DODGE Des Moines Sets Up Wail That It Was Not Selling Enough Goods; Change in Sys tem Made. The peevishness of Des Moines over the fact that merchants of that town have not in the past been selling enough goods to the quartermaster's department for the maintenance of the soldiers at Camp Dodge has just become apparent to the Omaha Cham ber of Commerce, and the methods Des Moines used to overcome this are also in evidence. Omaha Chamber of Commerce of ficials now realize that it was because of the constant wail of Des Moines that the government decided to stop supplying Camp Dodge from Omaha and begin supplying the camp from the Chicago depot. This took place about three weeks ago, and it was understood by Omaha business men then they would still be asked to bid on contracts to furnish supplies, even though they were to be furnished through the Chicago depot. Were Not Asked. Now it developed, however, that the Omaha firms who have been furnish ing supplies in the past have not been asked to bid on contracts since the supplies are going through Chicago. Omaha firms have in the past been able to make lower bids than the Des Moines firms, even though the freight had to be paid from Omaha to Des Moines. Now that they are listed among the "uninvited," they want to know why, and they have set up a cry for help from Senator Hitchcock. The senator has gone before General Goethals, who haa charge of the sup plying ot the camps. Senator Hitchcock has informed the Chamber of Commerce that General Goethals assured him Omaha would be immediately listed with those cities whose merchants will be regularly asked to bid on contracts to furnish supplies, and that no irregularity in the matter will be permitted.

Civilian Gets a. Taste Of Bomb Warfare Among the experiences that Jeffery Farnol lived through, while inspecting the British lines in France, none are more interesting than his first intro duction to the use of bombs, described in Everybody's for September. "I'm going to give you a liquid-fire bomb fit;st, ' said the subaltern who had him in charge. "He drew back his hand." reports the writer, "and hurled the bomb. Almost immediately there was a shattering report and the air was full of thick gray smoke and yellow flame. "'Stoop down!' cried the sub, suit ing the action to the world. 'Stoop down and get a mouthful of that smoke makes you jolly sick and un conscious in no time if you get enough of it. Top-hole bomb, that what 1' "Then he brought us where those yellow flames leaped and hissed; some of these he covered with wet sand and lot they had ceased to be; but the moment the sand was kicked away, up they leaped again fiercer than ever. "'We use 'em for bombing boche dugouts now I' said he. And, remem bering the dugouts I had seen, I could picture the awful fate of those within, the choking fumes, the fire-scorched bodies!

So sharp, so excruciating was the pain that instinctively I raised hand to eyes, but checked myself and with tears gushing over my cheeks, blind and agonized, I stumbled away from that hellish vapor. Very soon ! the pain diminished, was gone and, looking up through streaming tears, I beheld the sub nodding and beam ing approval. '"Useful things, eh?' he remarked. 'A man can't shed tears and shoot straight, an he can't weep and fight well both at the. same time what?
