JOWL SCHEME TO
BEAT PETITION
AUGERS SIGNERS
Threaten to Begin Recall Pro
) ceedings Against Towl, Ure
;xand Zimman, Butler
ueciares.
City Commissioner Butler declares
that he has received information that
recall petitions will be circulated
against Commissioners Towl, Ure
Zimman if these men carry out their
avowed intentions 01 invaimaung mc
referendum petitions which were filed
with the city council on Thursday
morning. '
The petitions were directed against
an amended ordinance providing for
various changes in city hall depart
ment assignments, including proposed
transfer of asphalt repair plant from
street department to public improve
ments department Mr. Towl stated
that he will present two new ordin
ances to replace the ordinance which
provoked the referendum petitions.
The result of that action would be
that'new referendum petitions would
' have to be prepared.
Not Butler Attack.
"I do not wish to be understood
as having anything to do with the
proposed recall against Towl, Ure
and Zimman," Mr. Butler stated. "I
am merely stating what citizens have
told me, these same citizens who
acted as volunteers in obtaining sig
natures to the petitions filed on
Thursday. They feel that if Towl car
ries out his proposed plan of split
ting the offensive ordinance, that such
action would merely be to make it
necessary to prepare new petitions.
I am told that when new referendum
petitions are circulated they will jc
accompanied by recall petitions."
i . Mr. Butler explainid' that the pro
' posed recall will not include Com-
. missioner Kinger, tne otner mcmocr
of the council who voted for the Towl
ordinance which is being attacked

.Chief of Police Dempsey an
nounces that registration of German
slien women will be started next Mont
day morning in the city council cham

'the United States Department of Jus

10 days, and Officers Rose, Mansfield
ind Nielsen will be in charge.
Definition of those required to reg
ister is s follows :
"A female, irrespective of her par
ents' nationality, who is born in the
United States, is not registrable un
less she has taken an oath of allegi
ance to Germany, or has married and
Itill is married, to a German who is
not naturalized as an American citi
ren, or is the widow or divorced wife
of a German, and has not resumed
American citizenship."
Railroad Employes Worry
Over Delay in Pay Boosts
Railroad employes are beginning
to worry a little on account of the
non-appearance of the increase in
wages promised by Director General
McAdoo. The announcement of the
amount of the increase was expected
the first of the month, but so far not
a word has been received. That the
increase is not going to get around
this month is pretty certain, as Sat
urday of . this week is pay day.
Employes on the Omaha road are
absolutely certain that there is no
increase for them this month, as the
l superintendent nas oeen instructed
'to certily the old amounts in the pay
rolls, having .been informed that tem
porarily the increase has been held up.
Flag Day Exercises Are
Held by Armour Employes
Flag day exercises on the lawn -n
front of the main office of Armour &
Co. were witnessed by 2,500 employes
ind a large number of visitors Fri
day noon.
The program included the unveiling
sf a service flag of 2,500 stars, repre
senting those who have gone into
service from the various Armour or
ganizations throughout the country.
Approximately 200 men have gone
from the Omaha organization.
Rev. R. L. Wheeler gave the invo
. cation, and an address, "Why We
Should Be True to America, was
given by A. W. Jefferis, followed by
the singing of the "Star Spangled
Banner,"

"Inspired by Sweet Memory of Home and
Mother, How Can I Fail to Lick the Hun?"
Writes Nebraska Soldier From France
"Am feeling fine and dandy and
everything is O. K., was the cheery
word received by Mr. and Mrs.
Beethe, Seward, Neb., from their son.
Sergeant' A. H. Beethe, on active serv
ice with the American expeditionary
forces, "somewhere in France."
"I see by the paper that Germany
is getting low on foodstuffs," he
wrote in the letter. "I hope they all
starve and get what is coming to
them now soon, as I want to see our
good old country, the U. S. A., on
the top, so we can go home in a year
at least. Gee, wouldn't it be great if
we could?"
He finished his letter by speaking
of the excellent health of himself and
other members in his company, and
said the doctors were certainly do
ing splendid work whenever they were
called upon.
Sergt. Chris Haberman, former
ly one of "the boys" at Friend, Neb.,
indicated in a letter recently mailed
at Camp Mills, Long Island, that he
and others who had been at Carip
Funston were on their way "over
there." Of the particularly bright
spots Hn his journey from the Kansas
camp to New York, Sergeant Haber
man mentioned the Red Cross women
and "the girls at the stations." Ex
cerpts from his letter are as follows:
"The Red Cross women are always
there with plenty of eats and maga
zines. Of course, there were always
lots of girls at the atations to shake
hands with the boys, and some even
went as far as to kiss them.
"We certainly had a swell trip up
the East river on a ferryboat and
saw quite a number of battleships
and transports. We sure had a good
view of the sky-scrapers and the
Liberty statue.
"This is quite a place for aero
planes, as many as 20 sometimes fly
ing at one time overhead."
He finished his letter with the flat
assertion: "Earl Kennard had his
hair clipped off short and now we
call him "Baldy.' '"
Earnest Craig, another young man
from Friend, Neb., wrote a letter,
dated May 25, to his mother, in which
he described the wonders of the
scenery on the Pacific coast He is at
the naval training station near San
Francisco, Cal., and he "likes it! fine,"
as he stated in the letter. "The men
with whom I came here from Omaha
are certainly a fine lot of fellows and
we had some trip," he related.
Chaplain Herman Winnermark,
309th cavalry, Fort Sam Houston,
Tex., tells in a letter to friends in
Bruning, Neb., his former home, of
the1 duties of a soldier in Texas during
the rounds of t clock hands.
"The men have to rise at 5:15 a. tn.,
he wrote, "and stand reveille at 5:30
o'clock, then breakfast follows and at
6:30 all are out drilling. It is nice
and cool in the morning, but in the
afternoon it gets pretty hot here, but
the men drill until 4:30 o'clock every
afternoon, then they can rest until
5:30, when supper is served. Tbey
also get one and a half-hour hour off
ai noon, and most of the evenings
tbey are free to do what they please."
Writing from London, Otis E. Tay
lor, son of W. E. Taylor, cashier of
the Madison National bank, Madison,
Neb., says England although war.
weary is grimly determined to fight it
cut to the finish. The letter was re
ceived by Attorney General Willis E.
Peed, and was mailed from base sec
tion No. 3, line of communication of
the American forces abroad. ,The let
ter, in part, was as follows:
"Thanks to your kind recommenda
tion, Mr. Reed, I am now a first lieu
tenant in the quartermaster corps and
very much pleased that such good
fortune has been mine.
"This morning about 3,000 Ameri
can infantrymen were reviewed by
King George at Buckingham palace
and all along the line of march they
were given a most enthusiastic recep
tion. This concrete evidence that
America really has an army on the
way to France will do much to keep
up the spirits of the people here.
"England begins to show signs of
weariness after four years of war, but
its determination to stick it out to the
end is as strong as ever. It is mar
velous what England has done for it
self and all the allies, when you con
sider its dependence upon outside
sources for raw materials and food of
almost every description. Everyone
looks to America to provide the men
and resources to complete the defeat
of Germany, which cannot happen, I
believe, before the autumn of 1919."
"Mother's Day," May 12, was a
solemn occasion for our boys "over
there," and they expressed the long
ings for "the greatest little woman on
earth" in many letters that were writ
ten that day. urged on, if that was
necessary, by a request from General
Pershing. They know now as never
before, what the word "mother,"
means. A most inspiring letter was
written by Bernard Westover, "some
where in France," to his mother in
Rushville, Neb., on May 12, and it
was recently received by her. The
letter, in part, is as follows:
"Dear Mother: A year ago today
I was speeding away from you and
home bound for a soldier's camp.
Before me lay a dim and uncertain
future. I could see the ragged lines
of millions of men fiercely struggling
with one another in a horrible, re
lentlesa war. I knew that the sacred
rights of our eourit:y had been
violated by a nation without a con
science, and that soon the blood of
American armies would mingle with
the blood of the glorious armies of
France and England. These things I
saw and knew, and it was enough
Honor and love of home and country
laid bare my duty
"A year has passed another year
of doubt, fear, grief and sorrow.
Armies of nations strive against each
other with awful instruments of death.
The tide of battle ebbs and flows with
death the only victor. Brave men
fight and fall or live to fight again
and again, suffering agonies that can
not be told. Homes are rent and
torn by sacrifice and sorrow. The
nights are filled with fervent prayers
of mothers who have bravely sent
their sons to the service of their coun
try. The whole world is shaken by
mighty conflict The tempests of hell
could wreak no more war and desola
tion. "Who can understand it all? Who
can see the purpose of the unseen
hsnd that permits such bloody tur
moil between men? It is not for us
to know, but for us to feel. What
matters it how the strife began? It
is enough for us to know that every
noble sentiment and impulse which
God gives to men drove us into the
fire of war. Instinctively we accept
tion. We are supported by right as
ed the challenge of the inhuman na
God gives us to understand it Be
lieving in the right tf our cause we
shall confidently march or knowing
that triumph and victory will be
ours. And in the sad joy that shall
come with peace, let us not forget the
noble, unselfish sacrifice that mothers
have made. If we could but know
and understand the unfathomed love
of a mother for her son. then we could
realize how little is the sacrifice of
the soldier fallen on the field of honor
as compared with that of his wait
ing mother. May God bless the
thousands of mothers who have de
voted their lives to the loving nour
ishment and tender care of boys, only
to lose them in the battlei of this
war.
"On this holy day set apart for
thoughts of mother, I write you to
say that I am always trying to be
come worthy of the love of my dar
ling mother. Inspired constantly by
the sweet memory of home and
mother, how can I fail to reach the
goal I have set? I know that I shall
succeed and on my success I shall
stamp the sacred word "Mother'
Your loving son, NIP."

STRANDED IN OMAHA AS U. S.
Eighteen-Year-Old Boy Turned Down By
Army, Shy Funds to Make Journey Home. ;
GIVES RAIL RATES A BOOST
PE0TEST IS MADE
BY BEE AGAINST
INCREASE IN TAX
Fireworks were set off before the
county board of eo.jaliration when
Victor Rosewater for the Bee Pub
lishing company challenged the action
of the county assessor in response
to a notice served by that officer say
ing he had increased the figures re
turned for The Hee.
"I beg to differ with you," was Mr
Rosewater's reply to various dechra
tions made by County Assessor Fitz
gerald, who disclosed the fact thit
lie has marked up the total to the
total of last year, regardless of the
individual items.
In his complaint, Mr. Rosewater de
nied the right of the county assessor
to increase The Bee'a return arbi
trarily without first viewing the
property and without notice and
singling The Bee out alone from the
Omaha newspapers for increase. He
asked that tne action of the as
sessor raising the assessment by near
ly $12,000 be rescinded and also that
one item of the assessment be equal
ized with the assessments of other
Omaha papers. The board deferred
action until the other taxpayers af
fected could be cited.
The board was a half hour late in
starting, but was kept busy all day
with a constant procession of property
owners responding to similar notices.
From the number of schedules in the
custody of the assessor's assistants it
would seem that several thousand as
sessment returns have been marked
up.

Stranded in Omaha, owing to the
recent rise in railway fares, 18-year-old
Leo Faley of Joilet, 111., is work
ing at the Salvation. army home until
he can get the money to go back to
his mother. Leo left home some
weeks ago with a wild animal troupe
that showed in carnival towns. At
Fort Dodge, la., he left the troupe,
finding the work distasteful, and en
listed in the army. He was passed,
sent to Omaha for further examina
tion and passed here, but when he got
to Fort Logan, Colo., they turned him
down on account of a weak heart and
an imperfectly healed broken wrist.
and she sent me some," he says, "but
we didn't know it was more than it
used to be, so the money only took
me to Omaha. I hav telegraphed to
her for some more, and a policeman
I asked for help told me to come here
to the salvation army until it came."
Women who have been too hasty
in getting legal separations from their
husbands are giving the Board of Pub
lic Welfare trouble lately. In two
cases where the domestic trouble was
largely due to the selfishness of the
wife, divorces have been procured.
The husbands have later enlisted and
now the wives are trying to get the
divorces set aside in the hope of get
ting the money provided by the gov
ernment for soldiers' wives.
