-about the removal of the general of
fice of the concern to Nebraska.
The company now lias a factory at
Norfolk,' Neb., which is Ijeing
equipped with machinery to turn out
1.000 tractors a year, and there is no
prospect of there being a change of
location of the plant while the war is
in progress. '
Plans for. building a big new fac
tory in Nebraska have been postponed
for the period of the war, the gov
ernment expressing the wish hat

How British Aviators Made
"One Up" On Adversaries
London, July 27. How a British
flying squadron turned the tables on
German airmen who had been bomb
ing their aerodrome is related by Lt
W. A. Barnes of the Royal air force
"We had been giving the hun a
lively time." the officer says, "bomb
ing his dumps, billets, communications
and towns nightly. When, therefore,
he bombed our aerodrome two nights
in succession and completely upset
all our arrangements, it was generally
agreed that he had scored one over
us. Much as his enterprise was ad
mired, however, it was decided to try
to check it.
"The plan evolved was simple The
next day the British machines were
flown over to a neighboring aero
drome, where it was believed they
would be safe from raids, then they
started off just after dusk to make
a reprisal attack.
"We arrived at the enemy s lair,
Lieutenant Barnes narrates, "at a
most opportune moment, for a second
relay of his machines were just taxy-
ing across tne grouna 10 wkc on
in the flare path. In our wildest
dreams we had not hoped for such
L C. L FREIGHT
'"SAILING" DATES
ARE SCHEDULED
New Method of Shipping
Freight to Conserve Cars
Will. Be Effective Mon-
day in Omaha.
"Sailing" dates for L. CrL. freight,
. . . t .
or as it is known to tne layman,
freight in less than car lots, becomes
effective Monday. The schedules as
applied to the several roads operating
in and out of Omaha prepared by the
sub-committee, working under the di
rection of the regional director are in
the hands of the printer and will be
ready for distribution among shippers
not later than Monday morning.
There are 300 closely printed pages of
schedules.
The committee is working on a
schedule for the handling of freight
in car lots, but it will be several days
before it will be readytfor publication
and distribution.
The "Sailing" date plan for L. C. L.
freight has the approval of the federal
railroad administration, the officers of
the roads, the commercial bodies and
practically all of the large shippers.
In making up the schedules, represent
atives of the commercial bodies and
many of the shippers were called into
conference to aid and give' their ad
vice relative to the plan.
In 1 some of the eastern railroad
rones the "sailing date plan has
been worked out and is said to give
entire satisfaction in this, that it ex
pedites the movement of frcight. con-
serves railroad equipment and man
power. ' V
Briefly, the "Sailm" date olan will
regulate the routine of freiizht over
the short line of road and sendintr it
to destination on certain designated
days and in cars loaded to capacity.
Short Line Used.
Under the old method of railroad
ing a consignment of freight took tne
routing desired b,y the shipper whose
acsire to a great extent was governed
by the persuasion of the solicitors for
tne railroads. Distance between
common points did not cut much of a
hgure. Now, all of this is chsnirpH
and the committee, working under the
direction of the regional director of
the railroads, has evolved a plan en
tirely different. - This committee has
decreed what roads shall handle L.
u u treight to common noints and
to points beyond on the respective
lines, everything being equal and the
short line always being kept in mind.
For instance:
Under the old method of handling
freight, consignments might be sent

luck as this, and every possible ad
vantage was taken of it.
"A few well-directed bombs were
dropped right in among the machines
that were awaiting their turn to take
off, set fire to two and badly dam
aged others. Some equally well-directed
incendiary bombs set fire to a
large shed, and then the real fun of
the fight began.
"By this time the first relay of enej
my machines, sent as we afterwards
learned to bomb our own aerodrome
again, began to return. As they were
on their own side of the lines, and in
blissful ignorance of the fate of their
aerodrome, they were flying with navi
gation lights full oh. thereby giving
their position away in the darkness.
"Relieved of our bombs we were
able to give fight, and successfully
shot down one in flames, while an
other was distinctly seen to crash on
tctp of a wood.
''Having thus paid our debts in
full we left the remainder to land
on a bomb-riddled aerodrome, no en
viable task at night, while we went
off home to- celebrate a good night's
work, with the comforting assurance
that the R. A. F. were at least 'one up'
on their adversaries' game."

VIERECK GETS
LABOR RELIEF
BUREAU FUNDS
Contributions of Pro-Germans
To Aid Enemy Aliens Pock
. eted By Editor of
Fatherland.- 1
1 By Associated Press.
New York, July 27. Evidence that
George Sylvester Viereck, whose
claim to Americanism is being in
vestigated, obtained $100,000 for his
own uses from pro-Germans who be
lieved they were contributing to im
prove the "Status of enemy aliens has
been obtained through examination
of witnesses anV of his bank ac
counts, it was announced today at
the office of Merton E. Lewis, state
attorney general. N About- hlf of this
sum was invested in German war
bonds and municipal securities. -
After America entered Jhe war and
Viereck changed the name' of his
publication, The Fatherland, to Vier
eck's Weekly, his source of revenue,
which was the German government,
was cut off. To carry on his alleged
German activities, it was charged by
Alfred Becker, deputy attorney gen
eral, he employed agents to collect
funds under the representation that
the money was to be used to finance
the agricultural and industrial labor
relief bureau, which he 'said was or
ganized to aid unemployed enemy
aliens. These agents, called as wit
nesses, told of their work in all parts
of the country and of obtaining sums
ranging from $5 to $800.
Bought German War Funds.
According to Mr. Becker, the evi
dence indicated that Viereck 4aid
himself a salary of $700 monthly and
that the labor organization placed
$400 or $500worth of advertising in
Viereck's Weekly each week. In
these two ways, Mr. Becker declared,
Viereck apparently obtained personal
possession of, virtually all the con
tributions. Transcripts of his bank ac
counts are said to show he purchased
through Hugo Schmidt German war
bonds and Berlin elevated and subway
company bonds. It was Schmidt, now
interned, who acted for the German
government in placing millions of
dollars in American banks to the cre
dit of former Ambassador Von Bern
storff in connection with the Bolo
Pasha case.
, Incidentally, Mr. Becker declared,
it has been discovered that when the
Fatherland was launched, just after
the European war began, Count Von
Bernstorff was the first contributor,
placing $1,000 in Viereck's hands. Be
tween fhat time and America's entry
into the war, the German government
financed the weekly to the extent of
$100,000, Mr. Becker said the evi
dence shows.

Petrograd. July 27. Petrograd is a
city oruespair and near starvation.
A great majority, of the 2,000.000
population now crowded into the
once proud capital of Peter the
Great, know what it means to be
without food and know that winter
is coming with worse in store.
The people talk, dream and When
they can eat food. Long lines form
early in the morning before the shops
to buy food. Thousands storm in
coming trains in a wild scramble for
food brought in by peasants and
traveling soldiers. In front of every
shop window where foodstuffs are
displayed people stand and gaze long
ingly. Petrograd is a city with its pockets
full of worthless money. Money
presses are working overtime and
wages are increasing, but neithe can
keep up with the rising prices. The
Nevsky Prospect, the principal street
of Petrograd, is a picturesque evi
dence of the city's interest in food.

and the number grows larger every

CAMP FUNSTON
TO HAVE MODEL
PLATOON SOOf!
Picked Men to Be Trained Up
tfMinute in Gas Defense
and Also in Bayonet -
Work.
With thj; idea of making it a model,
to which troops in training can' look
up as an example absolct.j efficien
cy, a crack infantry platoon is to be
'..ained here . . N
The. picked men in it will receive
especial im .sive-training. British
and French office. , instructors sent
here by the foreign military missions,
will co-operate with officers in the
shaping of the model organization.
They will re:eive gas defense train
ing from men who have been through
the cloud's of the d ;adly vapor in the
front lines of France. The latest
wrinkles on bayonet work will be giv
en by men with records at Hun stick
ing. They will be drilled to West
Point precision and given every pos
sible experience short of that in the
actual fighting line. m .'
Will Aid .New Troops. , ,
The model platoon idea is expected
tn hp a creat aid in the fast trainine
of new troops here. When, for in
stance, Lieutenant John Doe's organi
zation shows a deficiency in bayonet
work, the model platoon will be
called upon. Doing the thing exactly .
as it should be done, it will prove an
object lesson which can be seen and
profited from. The same will be done
in gas defense, trench practice and;,
the hundred and one other details
of infantry training.
The idea is a new one. Heretofore
individuals have acted as instructors
for organizations in such work. They
will still do so, but with' the huge
advantage of being able to call in the
model platoon as a supplementary in
structor, teaching by force of perfect
example, 'it should alsp go far in x
establishing a spirit of rivalry whiph
has been found of immense advantage .
in training.
Other model platoons ar tobe v
formed, it is said, until one is in every
regiment here. The idea'was'origin-4
ated in the-headquarters staff here
and is expected to prove an immense,
advantage in the .fast intensive train
ing of the men Funston.
