Planning Board Abandons
Project to Open Douglas
City planning commission will
abandon for the present the project
of opening Douglas street, Twenty
fourth street Twenty-fifth avenue,
owing to the' estimated cost of the
improvement being more than $100,
000. The commission expects that
the prospective adoption of a home
rule charter will make it passible to
put through an improvement of this
kind without the present $100,000 re-
strictive provision. Under the pres
' ent charter an improvement of this
nature must be submitted to a vote
if the cost is more than $100,000.
1 The commission also decided to
postpone indefinitely the proposed
opening of Twenty-second street,
'from1 Howard to Farnam streets.

Army Men Enthusiastic on
Flag Salute for Women
Dr. E. C. Henry offers through The Bee four prizes, aggregating
$50, for the best suggestion as to a salute by which women could express
their reverence and patriotism for the flag the same as a man does when he
takes off his hat. The -offer resulted in a flood of letters to The Bee.
Large numbers of patriotic Omahans have called The Bee by tele
phone to learn more of the details of the contest.
Dr. Henry offers four prizes first, $20; second, $15; third, $10, and
fourth, $5. He says he is making the offer through The Bee "because he
knows it is 100 per cent American."
Rules of the contest will be announced Thursday. In. the meantime
those who wish to mail suggestions address them to "Contest Editor."
Army men stationed at Omaha are enthusiastic about Dr. Henry's
idea. "It's a splendid Idea," said Lieutenant McNally, chaplain at Fort
Crook. "I am going to think about it and will submit my plan to The Bee."
Colonel Grant of the quartermaster's department suggested that
women should stand at attention when they see the flag and should always
turn their eyes to the Stars and Stripes just as the soldiers are taught
to do. ,

I EXPOSE OF KAISER
IS BIG SCREEN HIT
; i
t . ii (
Realistic Presentation of "Tbfi
Beast of Berlin" Pleases
Crowd at Auditorium.
"Theaiser The Beast of Berlin,"
a realistic screen production ffow on
at theAuditorium is the most sen
sational exposure of the kaiser and his
barbaric hordes thit has thus far come
to Ught. ... r
'The play is authentic in parts,;while
merely fanciful in others, but most of
the incidents are "based v on facts.
Rupert Julian, who impersonates the
German emperor and his staff of as
sistants were more than a year in
collecting the data. The performance
is decidedly anti-kaiserish , and one
that will b$ remembered.
The plot of the sinking of the Lusi
tania, the raid on Belgium, and the
kaiser being knocked down by an
officer are only a few of the big cli
maxes, and -a fanciful ending of the
war, with kaisensm completely
crirshed, with all the allied chiefs in
attendance, is well directed. A special
augmented orchestra renders the orig
inal musical score.
The picture chronicles in vivid
truthfulness Belgium and her inof
fensive peoples before the invasion of
the German hosts. The treatment of
the peasants by the German hordes
as they plow through the country,
takes the spectator into the Imperial
Palace of the kaiser and unfolds start
ling, repugnant insights into his pri
vate life. i '
It is stupendous in its treatment of
present day history, of hitherto unof
fered truths of the personal life of the
German demon and the atrocities of
his army and navy. Julian's rendition
of the role of the kaiser is remark
able in its close attention to detail of
make-up, mannerisms, costuming,
habits and exaggerated ego of the
ruler who has plurjgd the world into
mourning to advance personal am
bitions, and lias Sacrificed the honor
of nations, homes, men, women, and
children.
After having witnessed a perform
ance of this sensational expose, it
is easy to understand why America is
fighting for world-wide democracy
