BR AN DEIS STORE
IS FLOODED WHEN
CYLINDER POPS
Much Commotion Caused in
Big Establishment When Hy
draulic Lifting Machinery
Goes on Rampage.
A bomblike explosion shook the
Brandeis stores and terrified the em
ployees early Thursday afternoon
when a large water cylinder burst.
The elevators dropped to the ground
floors, a portion of the flooring was
torn up, part of the basement of the
new store was flooded and ? stock
of straw hats was ruined.
The explosion occurred at the base
of one of the hydraulic elevators on
the north side of the new store. A
stream of water tore up the floor and
flooded the basement.
A shipment of hats placed near
the elevators was swamped. Busi
ness was suspended for an hour be
fore the water was turned off and
the floor drained.
All elevators in the buildings were
thrown out of commission. Several
of the elevators in the store came to
a stop between landings while the
Brandies theater elevators fell to the
basement, where they were stopped
by an automatic device.
Dodge County Germans
Are Victimized for $9 1 3
Through von Bernstorff
Fremont, Neb., June 20. (Special
Telegram.) Two of the drafts for
money subscribed by Dodge county
citizens taken for relief of German
women and children, have been re
turned to the bank at Hooper, where
they were issued. The total amount
collected and sent to the German em
bassy authorities at Washington is
$913.30. The drafts bear the endorse
ment of Dr. Dernburg and Count von
Bernstorff. Final payment was made
through the banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb &' Co., New York. At the time
the subscriptions were taken a com
mittee of German citizens organized
and solicited the funds. The names of
the donaters were, printed in local
papers, the contributions being made
with the understanding that the
money was to go to Germany for re
lief work. It is assumed that the
money was used to further German
. propaganda and loyal German-American
residents of Dodge county unwit
tingly donated money to help support
the German spy system.

On Sedition Charge
New York, June 20. Joseph F.
Rutherford and seven other defend
ant followers of the late "Pastor"
Russell, were found guilty of con
spiring to violate the espionage law

The defendants were accused of
preaching sedition in "Pastor" Rus
sell's posthumous book "The Fin
ished Mystery," and with advising re
sistance to the draft.
The maximum penalty which can
be imposed on each defendant is 40
years imprisonment.
Besides Rutherford, the defendants
were William E. Van Amburgh, Rob
ert J. Martin, Fred H. Robinson,
George H. Fisher, Clayton J. Wood
worth, A. Hugh McMillan and Gi

High Toll Taker is Title '
, Zehrung Gives to Kaiser
Kaiser Bill is a "high toll taker."
That is what Hohenzollern really
means, says L. F. Zehrung, manager
of the "Wake Up America" picture,
at the Auditorium. Manager Zehrung
ran up and down the aisles of the
Auditorium Wednesday night, be
tween rows of cheering people and
delivered one of the most stirring
war lectures that ha9 been heard in
Omaha. Pictures of the destruction
wrought by the Hunnish hordes in
France and Belgium, with mangled
babes, wrecked homes and violated
shrines, were shown, and after the
story of the destruction wrought,
came the hope of the future swarm
ing American troops hastening to
the battle front. Hugo Didrichson
sang "Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing." S. C. Sykes, president of the
Adverising-Selling League, under
whose auspices the picture is shown
without charge, made a short address,
introducing Mayor Smith, who, in
turn presented Manager Zehrung.
Long List of Army Promotions
Will Be Made at Early Date
Wasihngton, June 20. Nomination
of a long list of general officers to fill
vacancies in the expanding army is
expected at an early date.
It is understood preparations are
under way for 20 new divisions to go
into training on this side as rapidly as
quarters become available. That would
mean at least 100 new general officers
of the line, with a corresponding in
crease in the staff. The present list,
however, is believed to contain around
30 names, which would indicate that
only a few of the officers for the new
divisions are being selected now.

CHAPTER XXII.
A Dangerous Get-Away.
I was sorry to be leaving the High
land laddies in that trench. Aye! But
for the trench itself I had nae re
grets nae, none whatever! 1 know
no spot on the surface of this earth,
of all that I have visited, and I have
been in many climes, that struck me
as less salubrious than yon bit o'
trench. There were too many other
visitors there that day, along with
the Reverend Harry Lauder, M. P.,
Tour. They were braw laddies, yon,
but no what you might call over
particular about the company they
keptl I'd thank them, if they'd be
havin' mc to veesit them again, to
let me come by my ainl
Getting away was not the safest
business in the world, either, although
it was better than staying in yon
trench. We had to make our way
back to the railway embankment, and
along it for a space, and the embank
ment was being heavily shelled. It
was really a trench line itself, full of
dugouts, and as we made our way
along heads popped in all directions,
topped by steel helmets. I was eager
to be on the other side of yon em
bankment, although I knew well
enough that there was no sanctuary
on either side of it, nor for a long
space behind it.
That was what they called the
Frenchy railway cutting, and it over
looked the ruined village of Athies.
And not until after I had crossed it
was I breathing properly. I began,
then.to feel more like myself, and my
heart and all my functions began to
be more normal.
All this region we had to cross now
was still under fire, but the fire was
nothing to what it had been. The
evidences of the terrific bombard
ments there had been were plainly to
be see. Every scrap of exposed
ground had been nicked by shells;
the holes were us close together as
those in a -honeycomb. I could not
see how any living thing had come
through that hell of fire, but many
men had. Now the embankment
fairly buzzed with activity. The
dugouts were everywhere, and the
way the helmeted heads popped out
as we passed, inquiringly, made me
think of the prairie dog towns I had
seen in Canada and the western
United States.
The river Scrape flowed close by.
It was a narraw, sluggish stream, and
it did not look to me worthy of its
famous name. But often, that spring,
its slow-moving waters had been
flecked by a bloody froth, and the
bodies of brave men had been hid
den by them, and washed clean of
the trench mud. Now, uninviting as
its aspect was, and sinister as were
the memories it must have evoked
in other hearts beside my own, it
was water. And on so hot a day
water was a precious thing to men
who had been working as the laddies
hereabout had worked and labored.
So either bank was dotted with
naked bodies, and the stream itself
showed head after head, and flashing
white arms as men went swimming.
Some were scrubbing themselves,
taking a Briton's keen delight in a
bath, no matter what the circum
stances in which he gets it; others
were washing their clothes, slapping
and pounding the soaked garments
in a way to have wrung the hearts of
their wives, had they seen them at it.
The British soldier, in the field, does
many things for himself that folks
at hame never think ofl But many
of the men were just lying on the
bank, sprawled out and sunning them
selves like alligators, basking in the
warm sunshine and soaking up rest
and good cheer.
It looked like a good place for a
concert, and so I quickly gathered an
audience of about a thousand men
from the dugouts in the embankment
and obeyed their injunctions to "Go
it, Harry 1 Gie us a song, do tiowl"
As I finished my first song my au
dience applauded me and cheered me
most herrtily, and the laddies along
the banks of the Scrape heard them,
and came running up to see what
was afoot. There were no ladies
thereabout, and they did not stand
on a small matter like getting dressed.
Not thevl They came running just
as they were, and Adam, garbed in
his fig leaf, was fully clad compared
to most of them. It was the barest
gallery I ever saw, and the noisiest,
too, and the most truly appreciative.
High up above us airplanes were
circling, so high that we could not
tell from which side they came, ex
cept when we saw some of them
being shelled, and so knew that they
belonged to Fritz. They looked like
black pinheads against the blue cush
ion of the sky, ana no doubt that
they were vastly puzzled as to the
reason of this gathering of naked
men. What new tricks were the
damned English tip to now? So I
have no doubt, they were wonderingl
It was the business of their observers.
of course, to spot just such gatherings
as ours, although I did not think of
that just then except to think that
they might drop a bomb or two, may
be. But scouting airplanes, such as
those were, do not go in for bomb
dropping. There are three sorts of
airplanes. First come the scouting
planes fairly fast, good climbers,
able to stay in the air a long time.
Their business is just to spy out the
lay of the land over the enemy's
trenches not to fight or drop bombs.
Then come the swift, powerful bomb
ing planes, which make raids, flying
long distances to do so. The Huns
use such planes to bomb unprotected
towns and kill women and babies;
ours go in for bombing ammunition
dumps and trains and railway stations
and other places of military import
ance, although, by now, they may be
indulging in reprisals for some of
Fritz's murderous raids, as so many

folk at hame in Britain have prayed
they would.
Both scouting and bombing planes
are protected by the fastest flyers of
all the battle planes, as they are
called. These fight other planes in
the air, and it is the-men 'who steer
them and fight their guns who per
form the exploits that you may read
of every day. But much of the great
work in the air is done by the scout
ing planes, which take desperate
chances, and find it hard to fight
back when they are attacked. And it
was scouts who were above us now
and, doubtless, sending word back
by wireless of a new and mysterious
concentration of British forces alon
the Scarpe, which it might be a good
thing for the Hun artillery to strafe
a bit!
So, before very long, a rude inter
ruption came to my songs, in the
way of shells dropped unpleasantly
close. The men so far above us had
given their guns the range, and so,
although the gunners, could not see
us, they could make "their presence

the stage. I understand that it is a
terrible and a disconcerting ex
perience, and one calculated to play
havoc with the stoutest of nerves. It
is an experience I am by no means
anxious to have, I can tell you! But
I doubt if it could seem worse to me
than the interruption of a shell. The
Germans, that day, showed no ear
for music, and no appreciation of
art my art, at least!
And so it seemed well to me to cut
my programme, to a certain extent,
at least, and bid barewell to my au
dience, dressed and undressed. It
was a performance at which it did
not seem to me a good idea to take
any curtain calls. I did not miss
them, nor feel slighted because they
were absent. I was too glad to get
away with a whole skin.
