M Exercises at Night in Han scorn iPark; Big- Patri otic Prografn Is Planned. The observance of Flag day, an anniversary established by the Penevolent and Protective Order of , Elks, will be held by the Omaha lodge of that , organization Sunday night. June 16, at 7 o'clock, !n Hans com park. Either Dr. F. W, Gunsau- 1ns, Chicago or Lafayette Young, Des Moines, will be . the principal speaker at the exercises. The observance of Flag day in Omaha has annually attracted na tional attention. Especially was this true of the big observance in 1916. Motion pictures of the event were shown thoughout the United States, reflecting the greatest credit for patriotism not only of the Elks lodge but also of the entire city. Flag day this year has a deeper significance for the Elks than ever before, by reason of the great num bers now serving in the world war. The Omaha lodge has 160 stars on its service flag and one gold star. Many of its members are officers, among them are two brigadier gen erals, a major general, .six colonels, three lieutenant colonels and seven majors. HoldmgMhe exercises this ear at night is an innovation, and there will be no parade. The exercises will be featured by a big patriotic program. The com mittee in charge is receiving the co operation of Major John G. Maher, quartermaster's depot, Omaha a member of the Lincoln lodge of Elks, and through him officers at Fort Omaha, Fort Crook, quartermaster's depot and army buglers will be on the program. The Council Bluffs Elks quartette will furnish the vocal music. The Grand Army veterans, the Woman s Relief corps, bpanish war veterans, high school cadets and boy scouts will be invited to attend in uniform.

Two of the teachers, Miss Katherine Thomas and Miss Grace E.

Boyles college has in its file the original check paid one of its students who, - after having completed her eighth grade work, took a steno graphic course, upon the completion of which she stepped into a railroad do sition which paid her $57.44 for two weeks work, after $2.50 had been de ducted for a Liberty bond. Almost $60 for a half month's work is pretty big money to be earned by one so young. This is but one instance of where a school girl with hair in curl has made good in spite of her youth. , Workers are so badly needed at this time that there is splendid opportunity for the younger boys and girls to get into paying positions if they are equipped with a commercial school education. , " Hasting College Kotos.

Lunch Time. . , It was getting late for meii who had had so early a breakfast as we had had to make to get started in good time. And just as I was begin ning to feel hungry odd, it seemed to me, that such a thing as lunch should stay, in my mind in such sur roundings and when so many vastly more important things weje afoot! the major looked at his wrist watch. "By jovel" he said, "lunch time! Gentlemen, you'll accept such hospi tality as we can offer you at our of ficers' mess?" There wasn't any question about ac ceptance! We all said we were de lighted, and we meant it. I looked around for a hut or some such place, or even for a tent, and, seeing nothing of the sort, wondered where we might be going to eat. I soon found out. The major led the way underground. into a dugout. 1 his was the mess. It was hard by the guns, and in a hole that had been cut out quite literally. Here there was a certain degree of safety. In these dugouts every phase of the battery's life except the actual serving of the guns went on. Officers and men alike ate and slept in them. Ihey were much snugger within than you might fancy. A lot of the men had given homelike touches to their habitations. Pictures cut from the illustrated papers at home, which are such, prime favorites with all the Tommies, made up a large part of tfie decprative scheme. Pictures of act resses predominated; the Tommies didn't go in for war pictures. Indeed, there is little disposition to hammer the war home at you in a dugout. The men don't talk about, it or think about it, save as they must; you hear less talk about the war along the front than you do at home. I heard a story at Vimy Ridge of a Tommy who had come back to the trenches after seeing Blighty for the first time in months. "Hello, Bill," said one of his mates. Back again, are you? How's things in Klightyr "Oh, all right," said Bill. Then he looked around. He pricked his ears as a shell whined above him And he took out his pipe and stuffed it full of tobacco, and lighted it, and sat back. He sighed in the deepest content as the smoke began to curl upward. 1 "Bli'me, Bill I'd say, to look at you, you was glad, to be back here!" said his mate, astonished. "Well, I ain't so sorry, and that's a fact," said Bill. "I tell you how it is, Alf, Back there in Blighty they don't talk nothing but this bloody war. I'm fair fed up with it, that I am! I'm glad to be back here, where I don't have to 'ear about the war 'every bleedin' minute!" That story sounds far-fetched to you, perhaps, but it isn't. War talk is shop talk to the men who are fight ing it and winning it, and it is per fectly true and perfectly reasonable, too, that they like to get away from it when they can, just as any man likes to get away from the thought of his business or his work when he isn't at the office or the factory or the shop. Captain Godfrey explained to me, as we went into the mess hall for lunch, that the dugouts were really pretty safe. Of course there were dangers where are there not along that strip of land that runs from the North sea to Switzerland in France and Belgium? "A direct hit from a big enough shell would bury us all," he said. "But that's not likely the chances are all against it. And, even then, we'd have a chance. I've seen men dug out alive from a hole like this after a shell from one of their biggest howitzers had landed square upon it. But I had no anxiety to form part of an experiment to prove the truth or the falsity of that suggestion. I was glad to know that the chances of a shell's coming along were pretty slim. Conditions were primitive at that mess. The refinements of life were lacking, to be sure but who cared? Certainly the hungry members of the Reverend Harry Lauder, M. P., Jour did not! We ate from a rough deal table, sitting on rude benches that had a decidedly home-made look. But we had music with pur meals, just like the folks in London at the Savoy or in New York at Sherry's! It was the incessant thunder of the guns that served as the musical accompaniment of our lunch, and I was already trow ing to love that music. I could begin now to distinguish degrees of sound and modulations of all sorts in the mighty diapason of the cannon. It was as if a conductor were leading an orchestra, and as if it responded instantly to every suggestion of his baton. There was not much variety to the food, but there was plenty of it, and" it was good. There was bully beef, of course; that is the real staff of life for the British army. And there were potatoes, in plentiful supply, and bread and butter, and tea thir ic. always tea where Tommy or his of ficers are about! There was a lack of tableware; a dainty soul might not have liked the thought of spreading his butter on' his bread with his thumb, as we had to do. Bit I was too hungry to be fastidious myself. Because the mess had rusts there Was a Special dish in nnr hnnnr fine of the men had gone over at consid erable risk of his life, as I learned later to the heap of stone and dust that had once been the village of Giv enchy. There he had found a lot of gooseberries.. The French call them grossets. as we in Scotland An tn although the pronunciation of the word is different in the two languages, of course. There had been gardens around the houses of Givenchy once, before the place had been made into a desert of rubble and brick dust. And, somehow, life had survived in those bruised and battered gardens, and the delicious mess of gooseberries that we had for dessert stood as proof The meal was seasoned bv ennd talk. I love to hear the vounar British officers talk. It is a liberal education They have grown so wise, those boys! Those of them who come back when the war is over will have the world at their feet, indeed. Nothing will be able to stop them or to check them ' their rise. They have learned everj great lesson that a man must learn if i he is to succeed in the affairs of life. Self control is theirs, and an infinite patience, and a dogged determination that refuses to admit that there are any things that a man cannot do if he only makes up his mind that he must and will do them. For the British army has accomplished the im possible, time after time; it has done things that men knew could not be done. And so we sat and talked, as we smoked, after the meal, until the ma jor rose, at last, and invited me to walk around the battery again with hinv I could ask Questions now. hav ing seen the men at work, and he ex plained many things I wanted to kn6w and which Fritz would like to know, too, to this day! But above all I was fascinated by the work of the gunners. 1 kept trying, in my mind's eye, to follow the course of the shells that were dispatched so calmly upon their errands of destruc tion. My imigination played with the thought of what they were doing at the other end of their swift voyage through the air. I pictured the havoc that must be wrought when one made a clean hit. And, suddenly, I was swept by that same almost irresistible desire to :t fighting myself that had come over me when 1 had seen the other battery. If I could only play my part! If I could fire even a single shot if I, with my own hands, could do that much against those who had killed my boy! And then, lncreduously, I heard the words in my ear. It was the major. Would you like to try a shot, Harrry? he asked me. Would I? I stared at him. couldn't believe my ears. It was as if he had read my thoughts. I gasped out some sort of an affirmative. My blood was boiling at the very thought, and the sweat started from my pores. "All right nothing easier 1" said the major, smiling. 'I had an idea vou were wanting to take a hand, Harry." He led me toward one of the guns, where the sweating crew was spec ially active, as it seemed to me. They grinned at me as they saw me coming. "Here's old Harry Lauder come to take a crack at them himself," I heard one man say to another. "Good for him! The more the mer rier!" answered his mate. He was an American would ye no know it from his speech? I was trembling with eagerness. I wondered if my shot would tell- I tried to visualize its consequences. It might strike some vital spot. It might kill some man whose life was of the utmost value to the enemy. It might it might do anything! And I knew that my shot would be watched; Nor- mabell, sitting up there on the Pimple in his little observatory, would watch it, as he did all of that battery's shots. Would he make a report? Everything was made ready. The gun recoiled from the previous shot; swiftly it was swabbed out. A new shell was handed up; I looked it over tenderly. That was my shell! I watched the men as they placed it and saw it disappear with a jerk. Then came the swift sighting of the gun, the amost imperceptible corrections of elevation and position- They showed me my place. After all, it was the simplest of matters to fire even the bi&gest of guns. I had but to pull a lever. All morning I had been watching men do that. I knew it was but a perfunctory act. But I could not feel that! I was thrilled and excited as I had never been in all my life before. AH ready! Fire!" The order rang in my ears. And I nulled the lever, as hard as I could- The great gun sprang into life as I moved the lever. I heard the roar of the explosion, and it seemed to me that it was a louder bark than any gun 1 had heard had given! It was not, of course, and so, down in my heart, I knew. There was no shade of variation between that shot and all the others that had been fired. But it pleased me to think so it pleases me. sometimes, to think so even now. Just as it pleases me to think that that long snouted engine of war propelled that shell, under my guiding hand, with unwonted accuracy and effective ness! Perhaps I was childish, to feel as I did; indeed, I have no doubt that that was so. But I dinna care! There was no report by telephone from Normabell about that particular shot; I hung about a while, by tne telephone listeners, hoping one would come. And it disapointed me that no attention was paid to that shot. "Probably simply means it went home," said Godfrey "A shot that acts just as it should doesn't get re ported." But I was disappointed, just the same. And yet the sensation is one I shall never forget, and I shall never cease to be glad that the major gave me my chance. The most thrilling moment was that of the recoil of the great gun. I felt exactly as one does when one dives into deep water from a considerable height. "Good work, Harry!" said the ma jor, warmly, when I had stepped down. "I'll wager you wiped out a bit of the German trenches with that shot! I think I'll draft you and keep you here as a gunner!" And the officers and men all spoke in the same way, smiling as they did so. But I hae me doots! I'd like to think I did real damage with my one shot, but I m afraid my shell was just one of those that turned up a bit of dirt and made one of those small grown eruptions I had seen rising on all sides along the German lines as I had sat and smoked my pipe with Normabell earlier in the day. "Well, anyway," I said, exultingly, "that's that! I hope I got two for my one, at least!" But my exultation did not last long. I reflected upon the inscrutability of war and of this deadly fighting that was going on all about me. How casual a matter was this sending out of a shell that could, in a flash of time, obliterate all that lived in a wide circle about where it chanced to strike! The pulling of a lever that was all that I had done! And at any moment a shell some German gun ner had sent winging its way through the air in precisely that same, casual fashion might come tearing into this quiet nook, guided by some chance, lucky for him. and wipe out the major, and all the pleasant boys with whom I had broken bread just now, and the sweating gunners who had cheered me on as I fired my shot! I was to give a concert for this battery, and I felt that it was time. now, for it to begin- I could see, too, that the men were growing a bit im patient. And so 1 said that 1 was ready. "Then come along to our theater," said the, major, and grinned at my look of astonishment. , "Oh. we've got a real amphitheater for you, such as the Greeks used for the tragedies of Sophocles!" he said. "There it is!" He had not stretched the truth. It was a superb theater a great, crater like hole in the ground. Certainly it was as well ventilated a show house as you could hope for, and I found. when the time came, that the actotis tics were splendid. I went down into the middle of the hole, with Hogge and Adam, who had become part of my company, and the soldiers grouped themselves about its rim. irT-TTE BANNER SESSION FOR SOUTH HIGH S CLOSES Lillian Polian Wins Highest Honors of Graduating Schoil; Regrets for Prof. Hu waldt's Retirement.
