It's not "ships thaf pass in the night," but soldiers that pass in the day, but for the first time when they chose 6:30 a. m. for their call, doubts ana fears assailed the heart and mind of Mrs. Luther Kountze, who is commandant of the blue gowned, white-aproned company.

To crown everything, the boys were Nebraska products, and perhaps they weren't glad to see these pretty Ne braska girls. The early hour" seemed to add zest to the occasion and when someone asked Miss Menie Davis how she managed to get up so early, she replied laughingly: "Oh, I atayed up all night." After the apples and cigarets were gone the girls gave post cards to the boys, hut one chap with a sad little smile refused the card, saying that he did not care to write, but he wOuId like to telephone. His sister was ill in the Ford hospital and he was so anxious' to talk to her just a minute. It was no sooner said than done, for the canteen girl obtained permission from the commanding officer for the soldier to enter the station. Click went the nickel in the slot and faintly over the wire came the sick gjrl's voice. It was a happy boy who went back to the train and an equally hap py canteen worker who felt that she had brought a little sunshine into two lives all so early in the morning. To show their appreciation of the Red Gross, these soldiers in the mak ing had taken a collection of pennies, nickels and dimes and the coins were poured into the hands of Mrs. Luther Kountze, who was almost overcome by this exhibition of patriotism and kindness.

OFFICERS DANCE AT POST. The Knights of Columbus hut at Fort Omaha was quite transformed Wednesday evening, when the officers gave a delightful little hop. Balloons of all sizes and shapes, floated above the dancers' heads and the lights were softly shaded. The favors were very nnique, silver hatpins bearing the in signia of the girl's partner. A bugler appeared on the balcony and blew taps, literally blowing the lights out, for the pink-shaded lights went out, one by one. The silvery noterof the bugle were heard for sev eral moments and then the lights went on. A number of cabaret features were also given. About 75 couples attended the affair. , This is the first officers' dance that has been- given at the post, and as it was so successful, there will probably be man? another delightful affair given in the near future. BRIDAL LUNCHEON. Miss Ovilla Squires, a June bride, was honor guest at a luncheon given at the Hensnaw today by Miss Mar garet Morrison. A patriotic color scheme was carried out on the table, the centerpiece being a large basket of red and white peonies, tied with a fluffy bow, of blue tulle. LUNCHEON FOR VISITOR.

Dittributor ' Omaha, Neb. v '-'-'''''''-' -'''a.'A'i'n- nVy!fM'.V-ilflf-viV'r i : Gossip "What would you recommend at the best religious literature for oui men in khaki?" was the question Mist Edith Tobitt, librarian, put to a quits ; orthodox Omaha minister. "Donald Hankey's Student . in : Arms" was his reply without a mc ment's hesitation. "Deep, theological . ' books have scant appeal for the active brained, muscle-strained 6oldier-in-the-making; and for ethical teaching, there is no doubt this bookis hard to surpass." Two recent war books which will live as literature 'are Prof. George Herbert Clark's "A Treasury of Wat ' Poetry," and Lisle March Phillipps' "Europe Unbound." Prof. Clark is con nected with the university at Nash ville, Tenn. He is not the professor of the same name from the Chicago uni versity who has lectured in Omaha several times. The poems are descrip tive of every phase of the war. "Europe Unbound" is one of the finest books yet written looking to the future. It differes from the works of John Masefield who visited in Omaha last winter, in that interest in Masefield's contributions to war liter ature, while eagerly read when pub lished, have slightly waned in interest since then because of the march of stirring events and battle- campaigns since that time. Interest, will, of course, revert to them after the war as the really worth while books of the epoch. "Just now the reading public is on the qui vive for something newer or more recent in action," Miss Tobitt explains. Six post libraries are being main tained, through the Omaha one, is an interesting fact Miss Tobitt reveals. There are collections in both the Young Men's Christian association and Knights of Columbus huts in Fort Omaha and Fort Crook and now they are being installed in Florence field and the Plattsmouth range, beyond Fort Crook. Beginning June- 3, the circulation, technical and reference departments of the public library will close at 8:30 p. m. This change extends to September 3. New Books Received Glory of the Trenches, Coningsby Dawson; While Shepherds'Watched, Richard Aumerle Maher; Inspirations and Ideals, Grenville Kleiser; Under Four Flags for France, George Clark Musgrave; Old Front Line, John Masefield, who lectured in Omaha this winter; On the Field of Honor, Hugues Le Roux; Wounded and a Prisoner of War, by an exchanged of ficer; Yankee in the Trenches, R. y Derby Holmes; Fioer Fiore's Interna tional Law Codified, E. M. Borchard, and Over There, by Captain R. Hugh Knyvett, recently deceased, a story -of the Australian soldier boys' experi ences in the trenches. MILITARY DRILL AT AMHERST Omaha alumnae of Amherst college will be interested in the war activi ties of the school. Military drill now has a place in the curriculum, directed by Colonel Richard H. Wilson and Major Frank C. Damon. Courses in navigation are given for those who anticipate naval serv ice, aside from topographical draw ings and military mapmaking. A new two-year course of study foi students within two years of draft age is a war-time innovation, as such men could not complete the four yean of college before being called into the service.
