WITH MACHINES
WORTH $25,000
Omaha Owners Lose 52 Auto
mobiles in Last 30 Days De
spite Vigilance, Police
' Records Show.
Daring the vigilance of detectives
and police, automobile thieves Friday
established a record of 52 machines,
valued in excess of $25,000, in the
last oO days.
The epidemic of automobile thefts
was begun April 11, and the number
of stole cars reported on the police
record has sjartled the department as
an amazing series of wholesale crime.
That an organized band of clever
motor car thieves is operating here
:is the belief of the detective bureau.
Few Cars Recovered.
Detectives have been able to re
cover many cars Taken from parking
stands by joy-riders, but tew of the
, machines stolen as loot have been
found and returned to owners.
Insurance men state that they are
not receiving full co-operation of
owners, because they fail to assist in
tracing the stolen cars and in vigorous
. prosecution of the guilty.
Instances have been brought to light
i where stolen cars have been remodel-
cd completely to evade identification,
that the th ieves are reaping whole
sale profits is admitted. The Omaha
Automobile club is putting forth
drastic efforts to stop the thievery.
CAMP LIFE MAKES
HOME, SWEET HOME,
DEAE TO SOLDIER
' "'Home, Sweet Home' becomes
dearer to the soldier boy in camp than
ever in his life before," according to
G. A. Rohrbough, who, accompanied
by his wife, 1 has just returned from
Camp Johnston, Fla., where they vis
ited their son, Byron F. Rohrbough,
prior to his departure over seas.
"But, 'home life for the soldiers is
provided by the Young Men's Chris
tian association in an admirable way,"
Mr. Rohrbough continued. "The best
' sanitary conditions are maintained at
the camp and good fellowship and
manifest good morals among the sol
diers impresses the visitors in a force
' able manner. The soldiers are busy
and do their work in such a way that
the visitor realizes that they have de
termined to win this war for de
mocracy and get back home.
"At Camp Meritt in New Jersey,
near New York City, there were over
40,000 .-soldiers. At this camp the
finest conditions seemed to exist.
Good food and comfortable quarters
were-" mentioned frequently among
the soWiers. '
"Traveling Arotigh the east when
the Liberty loan drive was on, a
westerner It made to feel that our
people have not been aroused, or
scarcely realize there is a war on, as
do the people down east.

SABOTAGE 'CAT'
THEEAT OF I. W. W.
'AGAINST NATION
Chicago, May 10. A veiled warn
ing to the government of the strength
ot the Industrial Workers of the
World was contained in an article
placed in the records today by the
prosecution in the seditious conspir
acy trial ot 11U leaders of the organ
ization. "We have shown the world how to
block the machinery gf justice," said
the article published in an official or
gan' on August 18, 1917, when the
government contends the anti-war
conspiracy was most vigorous.
"The slow-down plan and mass op
position to unjust regulations would
work as well in detention camps as on
the job. The widespread knowledge
of punitive sabotage upon modern in
dustry gives the militant portion of
the working class the power to stop
or disrupt production at will.
"The membership of the Industrial
Workers of the World is conscious of
its power and knows how to achieve
its ends and is dead game to take
whatever measures are necessary."
Another article said "there are too
many of us for you to handle, no
matter how many machine guns, bay
onets and gallows you array against
us. Just as our enemies have done we
can do. We also use the cunning of
the serpent to attain our ends.
