LINCOLN DEMO
PAPER WANTS TO'
GIVE G 0. P. IDEAS
Fearful Lest Republican State
Committee Is Going to
1 Make Some Mis
takes. From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Sept. 1. (Special.)--The
local democratic paper is very much
worried for fear the republican state
, coin'mittee i? going to make some mis
takes in the running of the campaign
and makes some . suggestions which
it would like to see Chairman Beach
carry out in its idea of what would
be the best thing o do.
It even suggests speakers ' who
ought to be brought in to assist in
the campaign and is also fearful that
-the chairman is making a mistake
in the selection of his heads of de
partments. Chairman Beach has gone to Chi
cago to confer with republican party
leaders and it is not known whether
he will follow the ideas set forth in
tin suggestions or not. However it
is presumed that he will accept ad
vice from, this source in the same
maimer he has usually 'done. The
state, chairman somehow never has
been prone, to accept democratic sug
gestions as to how the republican
campaign should be run and it is
just barely possible that he may not
do so this year.
However he will not object to the
suggestions being made for it gives
the opposition a chance to unbosom
themselves and prepare for the great
I'isappointment which will come to
them A. D. November S, 1918,' be

"In England the general opinion!
is that by October of this year the
Germans will be driven from France
and that by June of next year the
kaiser will be ready to sue for peace,
accepting such terms as the a'lied
governments accord him," thus spake
Robert McCrum of London, Eng..
whri is in Omaha fnr a frw riavs
visiting his mother. Mrs. Margaret
McCrum. 711 South Thirtieth street
Mr. McCrum reached Nev Yorky"
August v!4, and was 10 days coming
across the Atlantic ocean, and ac
cording to his statement, about the
first thing he did after placing his
foot on American soil was to buy
two luscious peaches from a street
vender and immediately ear them.
Telling of the incident, he said:
"Those American-grown peaches
looked so tempting that I could not
resist the desire to buy them. They
cost 5 cents each, but in London,
during these war times, they would
have cost $2.
At home Mr. McCrum is in the
publishing business and consequently
has kept in touch with the war sit
uation. He expects to get "into the
fighting, as he is not beyond the
draft age. .He is listed for service,
but his number has no. been called.
With him optimism is his slogan and
his opinion is that the Germans are
to be licked to a finish, but not until
the allies have gone far beyond the
Rhine in their victorious march
toward Berlin.
Survives Air Raids.
In his London home Mr. McOum
has gone through 34 German bombing
raids, but has never been injured.
Soon after the Germai s made their
first air-raid over London he con
structed a bomb proof in the rear
of his residence properiy, and 'since
Oien it has been one of the most
popular places in the neighborhood.
It is of concrete and steel construc
tion, the ou.side dimensions being
11 feet 6 inches by 19 feet. U feet 6
inches high. The walls are 3 feet
thick and sufficiently large to accom
modate 14 adults and 6 children,
though on raid nights it is often filled
t6 standing room capacity.
Since its construction, the bomb
proof has been occupied 21 times by
Mr. McCrum, his family and neigh
bors, and while it has never been in
line with any Hun bomos, the pre
sumption is that none have ever been
dropped that would have sufficient
force to crumble its walls.
Speaking of the coming of the
American boys into the war, Mr. Mc
Crum said:

fair today was 9,155. Last
yeac on Sunday the at
tendance was 9,260. On account of
a heavy rain starting about 7 o'clock
attendance for the evening was cut

record for Sunday would have prob

to have it. Street car fare will
be 13 cents instead of five as form

hausted, their landing on our shores
was attended with more prayers of
thankfulness than anyt ime that had
ever occurred in Inland. It meant
that there would be a much earlier
finish to the war.
"Without the American boys we
could have whipped Germany. Jt
would have taken yea's, but we would
have won. Perhaps France would
have been conquered, but even then,
we would have fought to the last
man and that last man, instead of
giving up, would have won the war.
No Hope for Kaiser.
"We have 7,000.000 men in the field
'and another 1,000,000 who right now
are fit for fighting and theiPthere
are more coming along each year, so
you sec the kaiser and his minions
could not have whipped us.
"As I said, Uncle San stepping in
when he did and sending hie boys
over seas and pouring out 'the con
tents of his treasury fcas hastened the
coming of peace.
"Right here I want to digress and
say that the American ooys are the
flower of the allied armies. -They
are a fine lot of fellows, always ready
for fun and just as ready for a fight
They are young fellows who restore
confidence to our men and raise the
morale. They are happy and on the
battlefield and in the hospitals they
are fine. Our people are iji 'ovc with
them and right now a plan is being
worked out in London by which
when the boys come to the city, they
are to be entertained. Each family
is to take two of the boys into their
home during 'their two weeks' fur
lough period ami in these homes
they are to be treated as members of
the families.
"I happened to be on the streets
of London when the first contingent
of wounded Americans arrived and
were taken to the hospitals. As the
auto ambulances 'moved along, there
were thousands of English girls
standing on the side lines, their arms
filled with flowers. Great bunches
of these flowers were thrown into
the ambulances and daily thereafter
these same cirls carried, or sent How
lers to the wounded boys."
Chicago Grand Jury.
Sees Bribery Behind
Traction Ordinance
Chicago, Aug. 31. The August
grand jury, which conducted an in
vestigation of charges of bribery in
connection with trie passage of the
traction unification ordinance over
Mayor Thompson's veto, concluded
its inquiry today without returning
any indictments.
In is report the grand jury ex
presses the opinion -that the ordi
nance' was passed, by "bribery, cor
ruption and undue influence." The
measure is described as "vicious and
ill-advised" -by the jury.
In conclusion the report states that
while the evidence might warrant the
return of indictments for conspiracy,
if not for actual bribery, conviction
would be difficult unless additional
proof was obtained.
The ordinance will be submitted to
the voters of the city,fr approval at
the November election.

American flags and the banners of
the allied nations fighting the battle
for world democracy. All along the
line of march citizens of both scs
and of all ages bared their heads and
stood at attention while the colors
were passing by.
Human Flag In Parade.
" One of the nrettiert featu.. of the
parade was the human flas, formed
by 400 little girls, pupils of the vari
ous parochial schools of the city.
T" i children marched in perfect lines
and the perfect symetry and contour
of the great banner was preserved
the entire length of the line of march.
The doors of the auditorium were
opened at 3:30 o'clock and the huge
building was packed with humanity1 in
a short time. It is estimated more
than 7,000 persotjs participated in the
opening exercises'.
i The Liberty band and the Omaha
Musicians' association band played
patriotic airs until . the huge crowd
had assembled.

come. Mayor Ed. P. Smith, Gover
nor Neville, Dr. Olga Statsny, Lieu
tenant Oldrich Spaniel, and Attorney
Joseph T. Votava gave addresses in
which they extolled the age long
spirit of patriotism of the Bohemian
and Polish elements of the Czech and
Slovak races, of their ready adapti
bility to American ideals of liberty
and justice and of their readiness to
make the supreme sacrifice of life,
blood and treasure, to perpetuate the
same and extend its blessings to all
of the nations of the earth.
Musical Theme Patriotism.
Patriotism was .'the theme? of the
musical program that was interspers
ed Deiweensine speeches and every
person stood reverently when "Amer
ica" was Suns bv the choir. anH Ihe
"Star Spangled Banner' was render
ed by the band.
Miss Agnes Knoflickova, accompa
nied by Miss Eleanore Leare, gave a
violin solo, a Slavonic Dance, by
Dvorak, which was brilliant in its
technique and interpretation. She re
sponded to an enthusiastic encore
with one of Fibich's tone poems.
Miss Sylvia Sarto sang a parody
on "Marching Through Georgia," of
her own comoosition. and which Am.
picted what the Czecho-Slovak army
wouia cio to the imperial beast of
Berlin, when it arrived at its fiml i,.
jective. It was a clever composition
very cieveny sung.
iwo banners on the stage attracted
considerable attention. They were
the service flags that had been borne
in the parade. One of them repre
sented the 504 men of Bohemian birth
and antecedents as well as those
of Slovak blood, who had gone from
Douglas county to join the army and

solemn cadences, freighted with the
yearnings and national aspirations of
the Czechs for ages, rose and fell in
beautiful harmony, there was a
solemn andreverential hush in every
part or the auditorium and ther were
tears in many eyes. It is one of the
most ancient of national hymns and
is symbolic because of its antiquity
and sentiment of the hunger of Czech
and Slav for national autonomy.
Charles E. Stenicka, manager of
the bazaar, explained its purpose. He
told his audience the funds that
would be raised during the week
would be devoted to the relief of the
soldiers who are serving in the
Czecho-Slovak armies and their de
pendents. These funds will be turned
over to the Czecho-Slovak national
council, of which Prof. Thomas
Garigue Masafyk, provisional presi
dent of the Czecho-Slovak republic,
is the head, with headquarters in
Washington, D. C. The money will
be used for the purchase of material
for sweaters, hospital supplies, com
fort kits, etc., in the United States,
and for the relief of dependents and
soldiers, such as is given American
soldiers by the Red Cross. It will alsb
be expended to pay the expenses of

Young Men Come Out of
Frozen North to Answer
Gill of their Country
Draft calls for men in the remote
and far away sections of Alaska have
brought youths out over many hard
miles to report for service.
Hunters, trappers, traders and pros
pectors, in answer to the draft calls,
have come from the tundra country
up along the Arctic, the hills and val
leys along the Yukon river and the
remote mountain' sections of south
eastern and southwestern Alaska.
They have been mobilized at Alaska
forts and later sent to the states for
training.
One young man, Claude Harrison,
received his draft questionnaire as he
was making plans for spending the
coming winter hunting and trapping
in the Lake Minchumina country,
about sixty miles northwest of Mount
McKinley.
Harrison immediately dropped his
plans and set out on a 125-mile
"mush" to the office of the United
States commissioner at Kantishna.
When he arrived he found the com
missioner had gone to Nenana. near
ly 100 miles farther, so the long hike
was continued on until the official was
found. )
Twelve other young men, who
gathered at Marshall, Alaska, to board
a steamer for Nome, in answer to
their calls, found, on their arrival that
on account of the slowness of the
mails, they had failed to receive their
notification in time and were classed
as delinquents. They were" cleared of
the charges when they explained the
delay.

NEW BASIS FOR
PURCHASE AND
USE FLOUR
Less Substitutes, With Nebras
ka on Ration Similar to
That of People of Al
lied Countries.
After months of purchasing on a
basis of one pound of wheat flour to
one pound of substitutes, Nebraska
housewives today will be able to buy
on the new basis, one pound of sub
stitutes to each four pounds of wheat
flour. Or, instead, they may buy the
regulation mixed flours if they desire
and thereby relieve themselves of buy
ing substitutes.
Lnder the new ruling, all breakfast
foods are eliminated and flours put in
their place. , - .
Bakers' bread will also contain
more wheat if bakers so desire, for ;
beginning today only 20 per cent sub
stitutes are required.
On Same Basis as Allies.
"The new regulations, making it
imperative to purchase one pound of
substitutes with each four pounds oi
wheat," put Nebraskans on the same
basis as that obtaining throughout the
allied world," says Gurdon W. Wat
tles, federal food administrator for Ne
braska. "It meaijs that we have gone
on the war footing to the last and that
we will furnish the -necessary foods
that must be sent across.
"The new regulations, less drastic
than the old, come because of the
great crops of the present year snd
the equitable system of feedinjr that
has been worked out for the allies.
The new wheat regulations will work
hardships on no one. It is a mighty
poor citizen who cannot live up 'to
these regulations to the last letter.
He who cannot is not worthy the
name of citizen nor is he entitled
to the protection of a land of free
dom." ,
There Are Substitutes.
The new substitutes, which may
be bought with wheat flour, today
and hereafter, are: , .
Com flour, corn meal, barley flour,
kaffir flour, milo flour, bean flour,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, buck
wheat flour, rice flour, oat flour', ?
fcterita flour and meals, peanut flour,
rye flour and meals. . ,
Rye flour and meats, however, tfif-
fer in ratios to the other substitutes. ,
For each three pounds of wheat flour,
two pounds of rye flour or meal must
be bought if rye is the substitute,

CAPTAIfJ M'CMTY
GAINS 15 POUNDS
TAKING TAN LAC
Missouri Pacific Conductor
Says He Can't Say Too .
Much , for Master
Medicine.
It is doubtful if there Is a better
known or more popular railroad man,
in Nebraska than Captain H. E. Mc-
Carty, conductor for twelve years on
the Missouri Pacffic 'and living at
2008 T street, Lincoln. Basing his
enthusiastic remarks about Tanlac on
the remarkable results he has derived
from its use, Capt McCarty said:
"We can't praise Tanlac too much
at my house, for it certainly is grand
medicine. Before I took it I was so
nervous, weak and dizzy as a result
of stomach and liver troubles and
constipation, that I 'was afraid at
times I would fall off the train while
it was moving. I had little, or no,
appetite and what I did manage to
eat seemed to give me no strength.
My sleep failed to rest me and I
would get up in the mornings more
tired and dull than on going to bed.
My legs ached and my kidneys bother
ed me, ana sometimes l would get so
dizzy that I would almost fall over.
My condition was a constant worry
to me and made it difficult for me .
to look after my work properly.
''I had fallen off ten pounds in
weight, but almost as soon as I
started on Tanlac I began tto eat and
pretty soon a great change came
about. The Tanlac Tablets also did
fine work in relieving me of consti
pation and my whole system seemed
to resoond to the Tanlac treatment
right from the start. My appetite is
so big now that it's hard for me to
'Hooverize' as I should. I simply
can't get enough to eat and the good
part of it is, nothing hurts me. Neith-
er my stomach, liver nor' kidneys
bother me now and my nervousness .
and dizziness are entirely gone. I
sleep like a child and get up morn
ings full of energy and anxious to
gei io my worK. 1 have not only
gotten back the ten pounds which I
lost, but have actually picked up
five pounds besides, making a total
gain of fifteen pounds on three bot
tles of Tanlac. I can now hop on my
train and look after my, duties with:
as much ease as I could when I first
got my run. My wife has been taking
Tanlac, too, and it gave her a won
derful appetite and she feels fine all

fill you with new ambition and
