Tears tricklefd - down her dark cheeks as she feared for, the fate of her lover, against whom a serious charge was pending. She loved him, she said, and wanted to marry him at once. Her pretty , black eyes looked appealingTy-at her i lqver, who nodded assent, and then ' her face lit up with a smile as an agent frorathe federal Department el Justice, who was "conducting the - hearing, agreed to-drop further pro ; ceedings provided the marriage cere " mony was performed immediately. The girl's mother, who, with Lucy's brother, came to Omaha last Wed nesday to tearch for her daughter, x was present,-and' gave her consent. Lucy wipd away a tear and Smiled K coyly at her lover, as tne pair, ac ,) companied by Lucy's mother and bro'ther, started for the court house to obtain a marriage license. When t . they, arrived at the marriage license bureau, troubles had been torgotten, lovers were in a happy mood happiness was destined to ort duration, for when Cu pid" Stubbendorf learned that Lucy , - ,was only 14 years old, he had to tell them thev could not be married in .. Nebraska not until Lucy was 16 vears old. f Lucy's pretty black eyes were again dimmed with tears, as she was sep- " aratcd from her lover, who was tak en into custody 'by federal officials to face, prosecution on a charge of white slavery.

The "shut-in picnic" was given by Mrs. G. W Alquist, assisted by Mrs. Jack Walters of the South Sfde. The "shut-ins"'- came from the House of Hope, the old people's home, 250 rom the county hospital and about 100 from their homes all over the city. They were conveyed to the park and back by automobiles which were loaned for the occasion. Everybody had a grand time. Some of them were so crippled that they were com pelled to remain in their automobiles, but most of the picnickers roamed "about the park and enjoyed the occa sion to the limit. Twelve blind people were among them. One boy, 14 years old, has been unable to move" since he was 8 years old. Some were verjr old. There were plenty of willing workers to take care of them and show them the best possible time. Coffee and sandwiches constituted the principal part of the picnic lunch. And there was plenty of ice cream, given by the live stock commission men of the South Side. Braife Store! : Total $118.50 Former Inspector's Uncle Finally to Buy License, After evading for two years by continued promises, (he city ordin ance, which requires all second-hand furniture dealers to take out a license, David Riseman finally capitulated in police court Tuesday and agreed to. take out a license "next month" for one of his two stores. One is located at 509 North Sixteenth street, the other at 701 North Sixteenth street. Riseman drew a fine distinction be tween his capacity asbuycr for one store and his buyer for the other stpre. . . ' 'You see." he explained to Judge Madden. "Me and my partner, we sell second-hand .furniture at both stores, but we buy at only one store." He admitted that after buying at one store, he and his partner are in the habit of dividing the goods be tween the two stores for selling pur poses. He was-gently but firmly told that the city ordinance requires licenses for sellers of furniture as weU. Riseman's nephew. Charles Riseman, was formerly city license inspector. German Peace Move j Seen in Shifting Chief War Blame to Russia Washington, June 25. The speech of German Foreign Secretary von Kuertlmann before the Reichstag in which he laid chief blame for the war to Russia was read in official and diplomatic circles here with some de- S ......n..!,., nnil n All lll m n t give Ul duipuac aim aaiuiuaiuuviii. The question which immediately oc curred to all officials was the under lying motive for the sudden shift of blame from England to Russia and the placing of England third in the order of liability and France next to Russia. , . Such a statement, in contradiction trf all the Germa.i official argument heretofore, diplomatists thought, might foreshadow some further, move, possibly to tes out the sentiment of the allies onfeace and probably to create some dissension among them. As with ot1 moves of German diplo macy it was viewed most cautiously. Some observers think Germany at last has become convinced 'that it is with Englan dand America that it must deal in peace negotiations and is paving the way or the elimination of the "strafing,'""practically ignoring the' other entente powers, confident in their ability to deal with them Qpn.iratdv if England and America can be brought to see the advantage to themselves of accepting such peace the Germanic powers are prepared to offer. German Government Now Promising People To End War Next Year Washington, June 25. Germany is preparing its people forfailure to win the war this year by an extensive propaganda setting forth tha in the event German armies are not able to overrun France this year the situation next year will be still better for Ger many than it was at the beginning of the present offensive and that a move ment will be made then to put France entirely out of the war. A summary of the propaganda reached the State department today through a neutral country. It suggests that Germans released from the amy after the war will.be able to give im petus to German submarine construc tion that will -offset what the Amer icans and the English can do to build up their commerce. It says also after the present war Germany will be able to inaugurate a campaign and success fully attack Egypt and India. Information was also received today from German interned officers that in letters recently received from Ger many a decided change in pulbic opinion is shown regarding the prow ess of the central powers and -great surprise is caused by the attitude of American-Hsoldiers of German origin who are loyal to the cause of the al lies. .
