Brilliant Defense.
Washington, May 20. General
Pershing! communique today
brought its best story, so far, of the
valor and sacrifice of American blood
on the battlefields of France. It also
gave eloquent testimony to the spirit
of democracy, which knows no race
nor color. v . . .
It told of the gallant death of Ma
jor Raeoul Lufbery, premier .men
can ace of the flying corps, gentle
man globe trotter and one of the first
flyers of the celebrated Lafayette es
cadrille.' It told also of the heroic
fight of two American negro ooldiers,
both wounded, who withstood a raid
ing party of 20 Germans and saved
comrades from surprise and capture.
General ; Pershing's account of the
encounter, as related in his official
Remarkable Bravery.
"Reports i.i hand show a notable
instance of bravery and devotion
shown by two soldiers of the Ameri
can colored regiment operating in a
French sector.
"Before daylight on May IS Private
Henry Johnson and Private Roberts,
while on sentry duty at some distance
from one another, were attacked by
a German raiding party estimated at
20 men, who advanced in two groups,
attacking at once from . flank and
rear , I
s Draws Bolo Knife.
"Both men fought bravely in hand-to-hand
encounters, one resorting to
the use of a bolo knife after his rifle
jammed and further, fighting with
bayonet and butt became impossible.
There is evidence that at least one
and probably a second German was
severely cut. A third is known to
have been shof.
"Attention is drawn to the fact that
the two colored sentries were first at
tacked and continued fighting after re
ceiving wounds and despite the use of
grenades by a superior force. They
should be given great credit for pre
venting by their bravery the capture
of any of our men. Three of our
men were wounded, two by grenades.
All are recovering and the wounds in
Wo cases are slight."

Harry Lauder in the
War Zone
(Continued from First Fast.) '
I believed myself what' I was say
ins. I could tell them, do you ken, that
I'd thought, at first, as they did! Why,
over yon, in Australia, when I'd first
heard that the Germans were attack
ing France, I was sorry, for France
is a bonnie land. But the idea that
Britain might go in I, even then, had
laughed at. And then Britain had
gone in.' My own boy had gone to
the war. For all I knew I might
be reading of him, any day, when I
read of a charge or a fight over there
in France! Anything was possible
aye, probable!
I have never called myself a
prophet But then, I think, I had
something of a prophet's vision. And
all the time, I was struggling with my
growing belief that this was to be a
long war, and a merciless war. I did
not want to believe some ot the
things T knew I must believe. But
every day came news that made con
viction sink in deeper and yet deeper.
It was not a happy trip, that one
across the United States. Our friends
did alt they could to make it so, but
we were consumed by too many
anxieties and cares. How different
was it from my journey westward
only nine months earlierl The world
had changed forever in those nine
months.
Everywhere I spoke for prepared
ness. . I addressed the Rotary clubs,
and great audiences turned out to
listen to me. I am a Rotarian myself,
and I am proud indeed that I may
so proclaim myself. It is a great
organization. I hose who came to
hear me were cordial, nearly always.
But once or twice I met hostility,
veiled but not to be mistaken. And
it was easy to trace it to its source.
Germans, who loved the country they
had left behind them to come to a
new world that offered them a better
home and a richer life than they
could eve have aspired to at home,
were often at, the bottom of the op
position to what I had to say.
Ihey did not want America to pre
pare, lest her weight be flung into the
scale against Germany. And there
were those who hated Britain.- Some
of these remembered old wars and
grudges that sensible folk had for
gotten long since; others, it may be,
had other motives. But there was lit
tle real opposition to what I had to
say. It was more a . good natured
scoffing, and a feeling that I was
cracked a wee bit, perhaps, about the
war,
I was not sorry to see New York
again. We stayed there but one day,
and then sailed for home on the
Cunarder Orduna which has since
been sunk, like many another good
ship, by the Hun submarines.
But those were the days just be
fore the Hun began his career of real
frightfulness upon the sea and un
der it. Even the Hun came gradual
ly to the height of his powers in this
war. It was not until some weeks
later that he startled the world by
proclaiming thaf every ship that dared
to cross a certain zone of the sea
would be sunk without warning.
SM . J ... 711
wnen we sauea upon me oia ur
duna we had anxieties, to be sure. The
danger of striking a mine was never
abseni, once we neared the British
coasts. There was always the chance,
we knew, that some German raider
might have slipped through Jhe cor
don in the North Sea.' But the ter
rors that were to follow the crime of
the Lusitania still lay in the future.
They were among the things no man
could foresee.
The Orduna brought us safe to the
Mersey and we landed at Liverpool.
Even had there been no thought of
danger to the ship, that voyage would
have been a hard one for us to en
dure. We never ceased thinking of
ohn, longing for him and news of
hirry It was near Christmas, but we
had small hope that wl should be
able to see him on that day. . .
All through the voyage we were
shut away from all news. The wire-
ess is silenced m time of war save
for such work as the government al
lows There is none of the free send
ing, from' shore to ship, and ship to
ship, of all the news , of the world,
such as one grows to welcome in time
of peace. And so, from New York
until we neared the British coast, we
brooded, all of us. How fared it
with Britain in the war? Had the
Hun hunched some new and terrible
attack? v
But two days out from home we
saw a sight to make us glad and end
our brooding for a space. .
Eh. Harry come and look vonr
some one called to me. It was early
in the morning, and there was a mist
about us.
I went to the rail and looked in
the direction I was told. And there,
rising suddenly out of the mist, shat
tering it, I saw great, gray shins
warships British battleships and
cruisers, ihere they were, some of
the great ships that are the steel wall
around Britain that holds her safe.
My heart leaped with joy and pride
at the' sight of them, those great,
gray guardians ol the British shores.
bulwarks of steel that fend all foe-
men from the rugged coast and the
tair land that lies behind it. , -
Now we are safe, ourselves 1 Who
would not trust the British navy,
after the great deeds it has done
in this war? For there, mind you,
is the one force that has never failed.
The British navy has done what it
set out to do. It has kept command
of the seas. The submarines? The
tin fish? They d not command the
seal Have they kept Canada's men,
and America's, from reaching France?
When we landed mv first inauirv
was for my son John. He was well,
and he was still in England, in train-j
ing at Bedford with his regiment, the
Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders.!
out. it was as we had teared. Our
Christmas must be kept apart And
so the day before Chriitmas found
us back in our wee house on the
Clyde, a! Dunoon. But we thought of
little else but the laddie who was mak
ing ready to fight for us, and of the
day, that was coming soon, when we
should see him.

NEW CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERS
"Bill" Ure Graces the Mayor' Throne;
Kugel Recovers Missing Tooth Brush.
AND FAVORS FIRST ORDINANCE
The city council committee of the
whole, presided over by Commissioner
Ure, recommended for passage the
first ordinance under the new regime.
This measure requires the Nebraska
Power company to connect with any
building which has been properly
wired, if such building is within one
block or 300 feet from one of the
company's supply wires. The light
company, under this ordinance, will be
prohibited from holding an incoming
tenant or occupant liable for unpaid
bills incurred by former occupants.
The ordinance was introduced by
Commissioner Butler on January 23,
and was deferred from time to time
by the former city council. Mr. But
ler explained that several specific in
stances prompted the new ordinance.
In the absence of Mavor Smith,
who is in Lincoln on official business,
City Commissioner Ure is acting
mayor for a day. The mayor went
to the capital city to appear before the
supreme court in connection with the
prospective municipal ownership of
the Omaha gas plant The supreme
court will appoint three district court
judges to serve as a court of con
demnation of the plant, one of the
judges to be of this district.
Former City Commissioner Kugel
visited the city hall Monday morning.
He said he forgot his tooth brush
when he moved out.
G. W. Obee led a delegation of ne
gro citizens to urge that the city com
missioners observe the custom of ap
pointing a negro to the office of in
spector of weights and measures. A
week ago Mayor Smith told these
COMPLETE PLANS
FOR OMAHA VISIT
OF BELGIAN MEN
War Heroes, Who Arrive
Thursday, Will Visit Stock
Yards, Parade and
Tour City.
Plans have been completed for en
tertaining 359 Belgian officers and
men who are traveling from Russia
to France, by way of the United
States, and who will arrive in Omaha
Thursday morning at 8 o'clock.
Their train, on the Union Pacific,
will stop first at South Omaha, where
the veterans will be shown the stock
yards. They will entrain again to
come to the Unio,n station,, where they
will be met by the city commission
ers, 'troops from Fort Crook, the cadet
battalions of Creighton college and
the high school and the executive
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce. They will be escorted, in a big pa
rade, from the station to the city hall,
where they will be officially welcomed
by Mayor Smith and representatives
of the Alliance Francaise. After re
freshments have been served to the
veterans they will be taken on a
sightseeing tour of the city in 125
automobiles provided by the Omaha
Auto Trade association and the
Omaha Auto club. An interpreter
will accompany each machine to des
ignate places of interest to the Bel
gians. The party will bje entertained
at the Chamber of Commerce at din
ner at 6 o'clock, and will leave at 8
o'clock Thursday evening for Des
Moines.
This detachment-of Belgian soldiers
is a unit that was sent to Russia
in 1916 with armored cars. Collapse
of Russia made it important that they
leave there and rejoin the allied fight
ing forces in France.
Tribute to Comrade.
When the roll of this famous unit is
called as the men reach Omaha, one
may hear the name of Jacques de
Brecker-Reiny. He will not be pres
ent. His mangled body has been
buried irt Russia. But a comrade will
answer '
"Killed on the field of honor at
Vorobieka."
In memory of his magnificent
bravery, the commander of the bat
tery refused to remove his name
from the roll. Hence, a comrade
answers at the daily call, when De
Brecker-Remy's name is announced.
In action with his armored car, De
Becker-Remy, in the midst of heavy
enemy fire, left his machine to at
tach a cable to another Belgian car
rendered helpless. He was killed in
the attempt to save his comrades.
' A meeting has been called of all
French and Belgians in Omaha to be.
held in the city council chamber
Wednesday night to arrange for the
reception of the Belgians.
