.rtJNNED DEPEW.
Dressed in his uniform of the
French navy, Gunner Albert N. Depew
arrived in Omaha this morning for a
three days' stay here and in Council
Bluffs. He will address an audience
in Council Bluffs meeting under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce
there on Saturday and will speak to
Omaha at the Boyd theater here Sun
day night. Admission free.
A sailor of the foreign legion one
of those adventurous young Ameri
cans who went forward to battle
against the Hun, long before the
United States "went in" tells in an
amazingly interesting way of what he
did what he saw and what he en
dured while being gassed, bombed,
bayoneted and torpedoed by the Hurt.
A vivid narrative so big So thrill
ingso entirely new that it will hold
you spell-bound. Yon should hear
him and know the kind of enemy we
are fighting. From the shell-battered
trenches in Belgium his unique story
carries one through the Dardanelles
into the campaign of Gallipoli then
pcross mine-stfewn, submarine infest
ed seas into the prison camps of Ger
many. He is just a lad, yet he has had the
most harrowing series of experiences,
perhaps of any man who has been
through the war and lived to tell.
Wounded five times, blinded in one
eye, prisoner in four horrible German
prison camps, participant in battles
in Flanders and Gallipoli, wearing the
Croix de Guerre, Gunner Depew
wants to go back, but not before he
has helped shake America to a reali
zation of the truth of the character of
the German barbarians.
' This story will put red hot fighting
spirit into the blood of every Ameri
can who hears it. It will make you
want to get in on crushing cruelty out
of the world, on breaking the iron
heart of the German leaders.
He Hates Germans.
Gunner Depew is going to tell all
America if he can about the Germans
in this war. He hates them and any
one who -hears him will no longer
have any doubt as to the foe we are
lighting. His coming here is a co
operative proposition, to aid him in
his vtrip. His expenses are being
paid by the Burgess-Nash company,
the Boyd donating its house and when
they knew what it was for the scene
shifters and the house men of the
theater came and offered their serv
ices free to aid the cause.
There will be no carge made for
admission on Sunday night the Oma
ha Bee's Milk and Ice Fund for the
babies of Omaha will be aided by
whatever hs collected in the way of a
voluntary contribution.
Ten Dollar Boost in Pay
For Employes of Uncle Sam
Orders were received Thursday
that all the civil service employes at
the federal building were to receive
increases in pay of $10 a month. This
does not mean a net increase of this
amount, however, and a good many
of the employes are wondering why
the. particular method of computa
tion adopted was used.
Last year the employes all received
increases of 10 per cent, good for the
fiscal year. To make the increase
permanent an appropriation has just
been passed allowing the flat increase.
The $10 is being added, however,
to me salary prior to the last increase,
and not to the amount which was
paid last year. In this way janitors
who received $55 last year will have a
net increase of $5 over the wages re
ceived the last 12 months, instead of
$10 as the appropriation seems to pro
vide. Some of the employeswill have
only $2 or $3 a month more than last
year.
This discrepancy is due to the fact
thdt last year's appropriation was for
a temporary increase, and was not in
tended to fix a new wage scale.
Three Indians Brought in
for Criminal Assault
Louis Big Bear, Henry Priest and
Leonard Whitewater, three Indians
from the Winnebago reservation,
were brought to Omaha and lodged
in the county jail Thursday morning
to await the action of the grand jury
on a charge of having criminally as
saulted a woman of the WinneDago
