p1 "GYPSY"' SMITH BRINGS CHEER FROM TRENCHES British Evangelist Declares Be- fore Immense Crowd Against Any Patched Up Peace With Germany. ' - "Gypsy" Smith, English evangelist, delivered a message of cheer to more than 6,000 persons in the Auditorium Sunday afternoon. "The Germr.ns couldn't get through LllC llUvS 1" 1717 nncu iti amtu "armies were unprepared; they can't get through nov," asserted Mr. Smith. "When will they break through the lihe? Not till every man is dead." The Auditorium was swept by a storm of applause when the Gypsy ' preacher exclaimed, "I'm in a hurry to get back for I want to be over there when they tack the allied flags on the castle'in Berlin." ' Mr. Smith warned America against a patched-up peace and said, "We are fighting a trecherous enemy who can not be trusted. He won't -'py fair' - and he won't even make a man's light -out of it. Two British pals AvCf nn' tncrtVipr and VVtU L UTH nil. I 1' found a German officer alone in a trench. He pleaded, 'Mercy, kama rad. water.' and one of the British ers gave him a drink from his flask. As he turned his head to replace the bottle in his belt the German whipped cut his revolver and shot him through the head." Will Never Compromise. "Compromise? Neverl In stfitc of out grief and suffering we are reaay ... it.:. .1, V, W thai XU oCC lilia Wdt luiuugn. v never be content with a patched-up peace. The kaiser and his gang shall never again be allowed to sit at the table of nations. America and Great t Britain must .dictate the terms of . peace. In justice to the honored dead who have given their lives for the cause we must accept nothing less than a complete allied victory." Gypsy Smith believes in the reli- gion of service and ridiculed the pious individuals who would rather pra and sing than do Christian labor. He paid tribute to the dignity of labor and said that people are learning that ('helping the other fellow" is religion. "We have preached . the religion of wprds long enough; it i3 time for the religion of service. Our Master taught the dignity of labor and as we serve the brave boys in the trenches, we are following His example," added 'the speaker. The keen-eyea iaiicer ucucu iuc adage, that the English have no sense of humor. His wit was quick and contageous. "I am not a preacher; I am a lay man', thank God!" he confieded to his hearers, who cheered lusitly. Brings Tears and Smiles. Mr. Smith is an impulsive Gypsy, born "on the trail," in a pitched tent and his talk is marked with his own characteristics and he wanders from topic to topic with the abandon that only a free-born Gypsy can know. t Perhaps no speaker is more versa tile. He leads Jiis hearers from smile to tears. 4le sings for them aijd does a bit of acting now and then to illustrate a story he is telling. In the midst of a story of the bravery and indomintable spirit of ,t!ie boys over there, he thrust his hands in his pofckets, threw back his head and started siryging, "Pack up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile.'" Later, as Mr. Smith detailed an inefdent in a convalescing hospital, he hopped back and forth on the stage as he told about a soldier who had left one leg back in the trenches, and as he became proficient in hop ping on the remaining leg a compan ion called to him, "It's easy to see your father was a brewer for you've got the hops." The talk was interpressed here and there with exquisite figures of speech. Lofty, sentiments were told in a beautiful way in a voice softened by intense feeling. He compared the coming dawn of peace to the rain bow which the Master had woven from the colors of flowers and the mist of storms. Mr. Smith's stories of the suffering in the war-stricken countries were graphic. He related seeing a woman in care of a nurse who removed her gloves and counted her finger, "one, two, three, four, five," over and over again. Then she would lower her head to her hands and sob. The nurse explained that the woman's mind was weakened by the news that, every one of her five sons had been killed in battle. W,hen Mr. Smith announced that the British casualties for 1917 were 800,000 men) the hush that it caused was followed by cheers and shouts when he continued, "But we are eady to go on until we ,win. We shall not stop sooner. We are not afraid to die for freedom. Victory will be our,s." N. H. Loomis introduced Gypsy Smith to the audience after Rev. Ed win HarV Tenks pronounced the in- fvpcation. 1 ' Wants to Enlist to FN fa A! rrove his rairiousm Max Gorman, former chief of po- lice at Mason City, was in Omaha yesterday where he hopes to. obtain some military service.

Stockholm dispatches to the State Department today said the first trains with Ukrain ian grain had'arrived in Germany and that the planned reduction of v bread rations had been postponed, although the quantities received were small and the situation was uncertain. The agrement between Ukraine and the central powers is that Germany 1 will receive for delivery 5UU,UUU tons of wheat before the end of July. the price. agreed upon is about double thai of grain produced in Ger many. German agrarians declare this is the best proof of how they are be- ing robbed through maximum prices frce by, the government, ' . ,Z' SHELLPROOF 9' A Common Soldiers Recital 0 Thrilling Adventures in the Terrific Struggle for World Democracy By ARTHUR JAMES M'KAY. (Copyright. S9IS. fcy Seiall. Maynard & Co.. Inc.)' Arthur Jam McKay, "Shfllproof Mack patinnl hr intrants for the priesthood. Being- of an rdventurous spirit, he enlisted In one of tho English baa tarn regiment after the sinking of the l.usltania and the failure of thU country, to Immediately de clare war utmii Germany. On his first trio over the top he was n-nunded and rtonlied for discharge on ac count of brlus; an American citizen. Ilia re quest was granted but Mack tore up his application and went back to the front when an officer siionrd tho need for his services. After beinsr wounded three more times Mack was still on the firing line and on 'hristmas Eve. 11117. told a story to his nates of his exnerle.irrs the previous Christ nins on which ..icasion he received the title "Old Shellnroo," from officers and men. The rrusslans were opposite when the men went In n the front for their 10-day speU and a nty time was looked forward to. TbiniTH auirted dovnfjr a few days and the men spent the time in telling of their wonderful Chr'stmaa dinner In letters to the home folks. The dinner was composel of bully beef, hardtack and tea. Mack said the Prussians are not the best fighters of the tierman army, being quitters In the face of a hopeless fight. The expected bombardment started at 4 o'clock the day before Christinas and Mack was buried by tje explosion of one shell and uncovered with the force of a second ex plosion. His failure to suffer shell shock was the cause of his being christened ''Old Shellproof.". He was one of three men left out of 42 In ills section when the bombard ment was over. Another section relieved the one which had undergone the bombardment and Mark and hit two comrades ate the Christmas dinrcr provided for the entire section.

Prior to the opening of the battle the section of which Mack was a member was taken to a training field 50 miles in the rear and the attack was enacted In an exact replica of the German trend es In his daily association with the Tommies Shellproof Mark finds they consider all Amerirans possessed of "swank" and they will not believe the stories told of the size of the country or its tall buildings. In pass ing along a road one clay with his battalion he met s young lieutenant Jn the British army who had called him by name and asked if he were not from 'North Hampton, Mass. In a few minutes Mack finds that the lieuten." .t was a babe whom he trundled in a go-cart. He tells of the countermining by both armies and the ingenious methods by which these operations are discovered. The (iermans are about to blow lip the trenches on the sector in which he Is posted.

Running down- at each ' side were' short galleries, also furnished with the double-decked beds. The whole place was lighted with electric ity. It had been buil.t by Canadian and Australian engineers and was perfectly safe "from shell , fire except around the edges, where a shell would come through now and then, but-not enough to worry about. The place held 3.000 men and kept tlftm dry and comfortable and safe and ready for an instant charge when the time came for that charge. The delicate part of the, situation was that the Germans conld send up that' tunnel with its 3,000 soldiers any time they though best. We learned after the battle of Messines Ridge that they had planned to touch us off on the night of the 9th. You- see the widely spread information that we were to blow up Hill 60 and start the attack on June 10 had by some mysterious method reached the Germans, and they we're planning to heat us to it by one day. It was uncomfortably close figuring either way. Red Hot Artillery Fire.' But we outguessed them. On the night of June 6 my batt was brought up from the rear and quartered in the tunnel, and about 11 o'clock the order went around that .the attack was to come off the next morning at exactly 3:10. We had fooled Fritzie by putting the show forward three days from the time originally given out. The artillery preparation had be gun in a mild but continuous way 10 days before, and had been gradually increased, until on the night of the 6th, when we came up, it was one gi gantic throb of sound after another, riding down the wind. Although we knew that the attack was slated for 3:10, I think that most of us slept well. I know that I did. At 3 o'clock somebody twaked me. All hands were sitting round waiting, waiting and wondering how much of a crash 1,000,000 pounds of ammonal under Hill 60 would make. It will be remembered that Lloyd George heard the explosion 130 miles away in Lon don. ;We were only a mile and a half awav'and we weren't at all sure that it wouldn't stun us, even sheltered as we were. We all held our breaths as 3:10 ap to take part in the attack, and a good many of the men who had never seen them in action were curious. Once on the rehearsals we had run across a squadron of the land ships coming up to the front. I had gone into the battle of High Wood on the Somme with the first of the tanks and recalled. how easy they had made things there, and sure hoped that we were to have the mechanical monsters with us at Messines. But its wasn't to be. The tanks did go into this bat tle, but farther down the line. It was said afterwards that the ground was to rough at Messines and beyond, and that there was too much mined area proached and kept our eyes on the PHOTOPLAYS. Present Enid Bennett '"Abu MUSE mm.

There were just two very heavy rumbles and the tunnel and the ridge over it rocked like a boat A man who had been standing in the al ley in front of my bed tottered and grabbed as a mau will on a rocking elevated train. I felt the cot move under me as 'much as two or three inches. It was all over in a matter of seconds and was disappointing. And the order passed and out we all crowded to the exits to be ready to go over in the charge at'lS, which was zero. ' After the battle of the Ridge it was found that the Germans had com pleted the mining under our quarters and had their ammonal in and con nected up.

The biff explosion that destroyed Hill 60 on Hie morning of June 7 broke the tension and brought us all up on our. toes. As flic last rumble and qtiiver died away and the world stopped rocking under our feet,' we all picked up our rifles and trooped out of the support tunnel -and into the newly made trench called Rennie street, which had lately been dug; it was about three feet deep, parallel to the front line trenches and about a third of a mile behind it. The end of Rennie street touched the support tunnel. It was just light when we got out and into the trench. It was one of those misty mornings so common in Flanders, with promise of fair weather overhead, but with a thin haze over everything. Still and all, we could see almost any distance well enough. Away off there to the. left and in front, where Hill 60 had been the night before, there was a yawning nit. The hill was gone. It seems unbe lievable.. but that great hill was. so far Alamito Dairy Company Setting Pace Even tor Hustling Omaha Judging from its continued expan sion the Alamito Dairy company is setting a pace even for growing and hustling Omaha. Trior to, the first of the year the plant had one of the most complete equipments west of the Mississippi river. A three-story addition, 60x100, of reinforced concrete, and representing an investment of $50,000 is now under construction. The first two floors will be devoted to garage and auto mobile repair purposes'; the third floor, entirely independent of the hwer floors, and bridged to the main building, will be the churn room. When this improvement is com peted there will be an enlargmcnt of the office space, which is vitally necessary to the wonderful growth of business the company is enjoying. Manager Kernan continually is add ing new and modern equipment of the greatest efficiency and hygienic valu;. Among the latter is the new Davi pastuerizing plant, costing $10, 000, which is the champion bacteria chaser of the world. Milk that comes from the cow will develop under the best of conditions, where untreated, disease-breeding .bacteria: This plant is guaranteed to kill every bug and reduce the bacteria , content of milk to absolute zero, and this without affecting the cream line or the flavor, leaving both the slme as in the sweet est of miltf.

Out in front and between us and the front trench the ground was rea sonably smooth, but sloping upward a little. The artillery preparation had been going on for 10 days and was now at its height. Shells by the tho.tsand were squealing overhead from our guns in the rear. The Fritzies were sending back a lot, and the open field we had to cover was getting most of them, or that's the way it look from Rennie street. Everybody was looking back over the terrain towarc Ypres, expecting the tanks to come up. It had been rumored all along that the tanks were to make it worth while to take the chance with the big crawlers. We squatted in the three-foot ditch and waited for zero and the whistle that would take us out and over, and hoped that nothing would get us be fore we started. That's one of the things that I noticed over there. When I was go ing over in an attack my mind seem ed to run to hopes that- I wouldn't get it In the early stages of the game. I wasn't wishing for anything later on,1 either, but I somehow seemed to have the idea that it would be a no value, and 'the varying tempera tures of the city water renders the latter unfit for the purpose. Out of the new well water is pumped that has an unvarying temperature of 52 degrees, just right to keep milk sweet ?nd clean. The plant js a model of economy in operation, in efficiency of equip ment, and in conservation of product. To produce the first the company op erates its own paint and wagon shop, its own blacksmith shop and auto mobile repair force, requiring the er vices of men skilled in nearly t score of trades. To accomplish the second the com pany keeps just ahead of its growth of business. Only one automatic bot tling machine was required a year ago Recently two additional machines of the most modern improvements were installed as was also a super clarifier and an automatic can washer. The latter takes the place of men who did the work and it is done more rapidly and thoroughly than human beings can do it. In bringing about the conservation of its product Manager Kernan took a long step forward when he installed a super clarifier for the milk and sour cream pastuerizing plant for the production of butter. This outfit cost $6,000 and by its operation butter is produced which scores better than 90 per cent on the Chicago market. It may be of interest to persons in Omaha to know that besides furnish ing milk to an immense number of Omaha homes, the Alamito dairy ships every day to Camp Dodge a carload ot fresh milk Telephone Doug las SOB.
