THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MARCH 23. 1918. 11 KETT MAKES GREAT SPEECH BEFORE MASONS One Thousand Members of Order Pack Hall; Patton Pre sented With Beautiful Jewel by Rite. v The spring convocation of the An ient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masonic bodies of the Valley of Oma ha, came to a conclusion with a ban quet at the cathedral Thursday. More than 1,000 members of the order packed into the big dining room and pverflowed into the parlors. Former United States Senator E. J. Burkett of Lincoln was the prin cipal speaker of the evening, his topic being: "Is the Old Flag Worth Fight ing For?" His answer to this ques tion brought forth round after round of applause from the assemblage, and many of his statements were cheered to the echo. Senator Burkett not only finds that the old flag is worth fight ing for, but predicted a sad day for the man who fails to fight for it now. The fight will not be in Europe alone, but here in America, in Nebraska as well as in France, said he. , Speaks to Soldiers. Speaking to the young soldiers who 'were present, he said: "You, young men are going to the trenches, to fight for the liberty not of your land alcne, but for all the world. You are going forth to fight a great battle, to accomplish a great work, to win a great victory, and we who can not go will stay behind to back you up in every way we can. "If the government has the right to conscript the young men of our country to go forth to fight, it has the right to conscript the labor of every man who remains behind of every enemy alien and every neutral well. I have only contempt for the man who has come from abroad to seize on every Opportunity our flag offers him, and who will give nothing i- return. But I have no words to utter my detestation for the man in whose veins flows American blood who will not now do all he can for the old flag and the cause it represents. Our government is now pledged to give every drop of blood and every dollar of property to the securing of victory, and we must make good on that pledge. "No greater; tribute .'was ever paid to the American flag than when the nations 'of Europe, England, France, Italy, and what was" left of Russia turned to;.it as the only hope of democracy, looking to us to win the victory for human liberty." Patton Gives Present. At the beginning, of the program Tinley L. .Coombs, .3d honorary, pre sented to Frank Cafgill Patton, 33d, sovereign grand inspector general for Nebraska, a magnificent jewiel of liis rank, on beljalf of the brethren in the state. . This jewel' is-.oi special significance, because it was paid for by donations from the members of the rite. in this state, and was made in Omaha, being turned out by the i. B. Brown company. "Mrs. Cuthbert Vincent, for the" Scottish Rite Woman's club, pre sented the bodies a beautiful grand piano, which was accepted by W. E. RJjoades, president; of the governing board of the cathedral. Other speakers of. the evening were Mar shall Harrison of Dtinhar wlin engird for the class and J. W. Boyd, 33d honorary, of Washington, D. C. T. kW. McCullough was toastmaster. A class of nearly 100 took the 31st and 32d degrees yesterday, the work joccupying the entire day. Tangier temple, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will hold its ceremonial session today.

EDWARDS TELLS THRILLING TALE OF BATTLE HATE Germans With Utmost Ferocity Refused to Take Canadians Prisonenr, But Shot Them or Let Them Die of Wounds. "It's a slow, slow way of getting a meal, shelling oats," said Sergeant Edward Edwards, survivor of the Canadian Princess Pat regiment, in his Liberty loan speech at the Audi torium Thursday, when he told of living on oats plucked from the fields while he was escaping from a German prison, to Holland. Edwards is not a fiery talker at the start, but when he gets warmed to his speech, he tells a thrilling story, and the best of it is he does not. seek to put the thrills into it. He has no tricks of larfguage to make the story glow, but he just tells it in the short est and simplest way, and there is so much of it that half the people in the audience heard him through with their mouths wide open. End of the Princess Pats. Description of the fight in which the Twenty-first Prussians annihilated the famous Princess Pats, and killed the Canadians right and left even after some of them had surrendered, so awed the audience that one could have heard a pin drop at anytime. He told of one man who threw up his hands and surrendered, whereupon a Prussian pressed his rifle against the man's back and blew sujh a hole in his groin that he bled to death in five hour, though Edwards and the few other' prisoners who had been spared, sought all that time to stem the flow of blood with ' old bandages they picked up. ' ' ' ' "We had no good bandages," he said. "Such as we had, had been used before, and were -dirty. Ti:e Prussians would give us none. ! , No Mercy From Prussians. "One of our men right beside me got a wound and dropped to his knees. He couldn't get up. A Prussian stood over him and threatened him. The wounded mah looked up at the Prus sian and said, 'God, man. play the game.' The Prussian played the game by sending a' bullet through his head. "Several of the boys tried to sur render when but a dozen or two of us were left alive, but the Germans did not want to take prisoners. One fel low, put up his hands and a Prussian blew his hand off with his gun. After we were taken prisoner, the Germans would give no attention to the rest of us who were wounded. So we took an old pocket knife ana whittled oft" the fragments of his hand which still hung on. When we got to the prison they would give him no' attention and he died iil4 days of blood poison. Finally Made Escape. Sergeant Edwards gave' the grip ping details of l is life in the prisons and the several attempts he and his comrade made to escape. After starv ing on raw turnips and green oats, he said, they came to a potato patch, dug some potatoes and roasted them. "At the price potatoes are now," he said, "I think we ate a fortune." J. R. Pulli, the first wounded Oma ha boy to return from the front, was on the stage with his crutches. -His foot still isrin very bad shape. He was asked to speak, but only said a few words. He begged to be excused, because he said his sister was very low fn a local hospital and he wished to hurry to her bedside. Talk by Aviatrix. Dorothy Frooks. the national avia trix, in her talk declared that every rtian in the room between 21 and 31 belonged in the khaki or the blue if he has no dependents, and that people must begin to take the war more seri ously. Mjss Frooks and Sergeant Edwards leave for Lincoln this morning, where they speak today.

Naturalization Fees Not Included in Court Report Naturalization fees are not included m the report of district court fees for the last three months of 1917 filed with the county clerk Thursday by Robert Smith. This is in spite of the specific command in a law of Ne braska passed in 1917. Attached to the report is the following "explanation:" "Naturalization fees are omitted in this report pending action on my re quest to the county commissioners to have my responsibility in the matter of accounting for such fees deter mined by an action in court, with which final action I shall promptly and cheerfully comply." County Attorney Alagney, to whom the county board referred the request, has already announced that he would take net action to discover whether this law has been validly passed.

AUTO DEALERS at Tin: THEATER 5 A. II. Woojs prest'titx a now eomedv en- titled -.Mary's Ankle." a farcical display In tHree views, by May Tully. MK,d J,y L.Ulllillll II., I I IfUll.

P. Hampton James ll.-sd-r Kxpreaaman William .1. Morris Klrst Steward Koyal Cuttc! A delicious morsel of good, clean lun is "Mary's Ankle," which kepi the big audience at the- Boyd con-! tinually rocking in merriment. It is all fun, in fact. The ankle of Mary does have its part to play, of course, but whatever of anatomical perfec tion may be embodied therein is more or less forgotten in the droll and unique kind of laughter-producing ac tion and dialogue that has been put into the clever lines of the farce comedy which the critics of New York classed with "Turn to the Right" and similar productions. Certainly you never saw or heard of a young v oman who came to be mar ried by such a strange set of circum stances as Mary. And she keeps her impecunious lover in suspense right to the very end. And she is so love ly in face and form as well as in ankle that you want him to marry her and won't be satisfied unless he does. Uniqueness is a large part of the charm of "Mary's Ankle" (we mean the play, not the ankle. The latter is like many other feminine ankles, all beautiful so we have been told). Put the uniqueness of the play is in its plausibility, in its ease of action and naturalness of situation and the al most complete absence of our old friend, Coincidence, who works so hard in most farces and comedies. There is no mixing up of three or four wives and husbands, no getting into the wrong room, nothing of the usual paraphernalia of the farceur. On the other hand, as you will be happy to find whe:. you sec it, there are just three young men in the most ro mantic of situations, peunilcssness with "iope and intelligence. The dia logue is full of laughs from the start and Bert Leigh, Edward Butler and Donald MacLeod "pull" it to perfec tion. In passing we must not fail to men tion Louise Sanford, the '"landlady" who delights in her imaginary ills, and Gertrude Mann, her shrewdish daughter. And then Mary, depicted by Amy Leah Dennis, who is a splendid actress and makes the most of a part made charming by the author.
