The advent of large contingents of
Czecho-Slovaks in the far east is
noted in" a Times dispatch from Pek

a new factor into the situation there.
Two divisions of these troops, the
correspondent says, are now scattered
along the Siberian railroad from
Tcheliabinsk eastward, on their way
to Vladivostok, while about 14,000
of them have arrived at Vladivostok.
Their presence at this port is caus
ing irritation to the local Bolsheviki,
who are anxious for the immediate
shipment of these troops overseas.
Meanwhile General Semenoff, the
anti-Bolshevik leader in Siberia, does
not find his affairs prospering, ac

not mere words," says the Temps,
commenting editorially on the tele

them with anxiety. He is only be

Military Ceremony

PLAN REDUCTION
GARBAGE PLANT
FOR CITYOF OMAHA
Commissioner Towl and Health
Commissioner Manning Dis
cuss Ways and Means;
Would Involve Franchise.
A garbage reduction plant, . with
the sale of steam for heating pur
poses as an adjunct, is among the
possibilities of the year for Omaha.
The project is being considered,
but has not reached a stage which
would justify an official announce
ment by City Commissioner Towl
who is giving the matter consder
able thought. -
Mr. Towl, however, hasvbeen con
fiding his ambitions to friends with
reservations, as he does not want to
get off on the wrong foot. ' He is im
pressed jwith the "feasibility of the
scheme. t-'
Health Commissioner Manning has
stated that the garbage situation in
Omaha must be taken in hand with
adetermination to place it on a per
manent modern basis. What is the
best solution, he is not prepared to
discuss in detail.
Element of Profit.
During the week a representative
of an eastern garbage reduction plant
company met the city officials and
impressed them with the advantages
of the reduction, plan of garbage dis
posal as against the incinerator plan
which merely burns garbage and
leaves no by-products.
The reduction plant idea is regard
ed as ideal, but is expensive in the
first cost. Some of the larger cities
have all of their garbage hauled with
out cost by companies which operate
reduction plants and make the busi
ness pay by the sale of by-products.
Commissioner Towl believes it may
be possible that the sale of steam for
heating business 'blocks in the cen
tral district would add to the earning
power of a reduction plant. The idea
of piping steam from a central sta
tion to buildirrgs is not new.
Make Fats and Fertilizers.
It is believed that a company would
be willing to erect a modern reduc
tion, plant if a franchise would be
granted for a reasonable period, such
franchise to carry with it the exclus
ive collection of garbage and the priv
ilege of selling steam. The principal
by-products of a reduction plant are
fats for soap manufacturing and fer
tilizer, for both ox which a ready
market could be found here.
Last year the city council divided
the city into districts for garbage col
lecting purposes and awarded the
privileges to the highest bidders. The
result was that haulers bid for the
best districts and left the outlying
distrctsi for the city to cover with
its own wagons. I he system has not
proved satisfactory. The garbage has
been fed to hogs on the river bot
toms and many complaints have been
received against the stench which
arises from these grounds.
TRENCH DUG IN
PESEK'S SPINE;
MERELY LAUGHS
Grand Island, Neb., June IS. (Spe
cial.) John Pesek, the Nebraska
wrestler who aspires to be champion
of the world and seems to have a
fair chance for success, pulled a new
one a couple of days ago. In order
to show a bunch of admirers what a
good man could do he laid down on
the ground and told his brother.
Charles, at Ravenna, to run a six
cylinder Buick over him. Charlie did
as requested, the front wheel passing
across John's back, but the speed
was so low that the machine stopped
with the rear wheel planted exactly
in the middle of John. After enjoy
ing the sight of having his big broth
er down for a moment, Charlie turned
on the gas with a vengeance, with
the result that it made the wheels
spin. The wheel turned around -a
couple of times before running off
the wrestler, and Pesek had a trench
dug into his back about two inches
wide and a foot long. That would
have killed an ordinary man even if
the machine had not crushed him.
John went to a physician to have a
little liniment rubbed on the sore
place for fear it might interfere with
his next wrestling bout, but otherwise
was unconcerned about it. John ex
pects to go to the army Ifter while,
but before doing so wants to be run
over by a switch engine so he will
know just how heavy one of the
army "tanks" will feel when he gets
to crawling under them to tip them
over. (

AMERICAN FLIERS
RAID ENEMY IN
DASH OVER LINES
Foe's Anti-Aircraft Guns Are
Brought Into Action inVain
'Attempt to Down Bird
men Squadron..
With . the American ' Army in
France, June IS. The first raid by
an American bombing squadron be
hind the German lines was accom
plished with successful and satisfac
tory results, the Americans perform
ing like veterans. ,
Some of the observers already had
been on similar flying missions with
French or British 4 pilots and they
knew exactly how to gauge accurately
the fall of the bombs.
As they made their start for Ger
many, the bombing planes received
quite an ovation. A number of French
and British aviators and officers and
a, large number of American fliers
cheered them from the flying field as
they came racing down the grass,
tilted upward and then turned north
toward the enemy's lines.
Hot Reception by Huns.
The German anti-craft batteries
gave them a hot reception as they
crossed the front, but this shelling
was extremely tame compared to
that they underwent as they ap
proached Dommary-Baroncourt. Two
of the American planes, leading the
squadron, became the particular tar
gets of the anti-aircraft guns. They
twisted and dived under a heavy
shrapnel fire until they arrived oyer
their objective a railway junction
and the surrounding buildings three
miles below.
The commanding officer of the unit
was in the leading plane as observer,
and it sped over the objective first,
the commander releasing his bombs.
At the same time he signalled to the
other machines which followed in a
nearly straight line.
Foe Attacking Planes.
Bursting bombs laid a perfect circle
of smoke about the railway junction.
The smoke obscured the buildings as
the bombers turned southward toward
the American lines.
German attacking planes met the
Americans two miles from Dommary
and attempted to pick off those planes
which were trailing, but the lively fire
of the other machines forced the
enemy to give up the attempt just as
the line was reached. Arriving at
the starting point, the aviators were
showered with congratulations on the
results of the first raid by their
envious comrades.
