"When I rejoined my organisation,
after having been detained for soitm:
time as an instructor in an officers'
school, 1 had 1,200 men. All losses
had been replaced from regiments
in the United States, These men par
ticipated in the big drive.

talion was relieved from the line for
rest and re-organiiation, I had a

the losses occurred during the last
10 days of the big drive.
"Company A of Winterset came
out of the line with no officers, and
under the command of a first ser
geant. A book could be written of
the heroic acts of the men ow my
battalion. After ,the last fight in
which my unit participated, one pla
toon, originally 50 men, appeared with
onlv one man and one officer left.
T"he letter, written August 4, enum

HOUSE TO BEGIN
WAR TAXATION
DEBATE TODAY
Revision to Make Up Deficits
Due to Prohibition May
Delay Passage of
Revenue Bill.
Washington, Sept. 8. Progress by
the house on the special war revenue
bill and national prohibition legisla
tion will hold congressional attention
this week.
General debate on the tax measure
will begin tomorrow and at its con
clusion, probably Wednesday, the bill
will be taken up for amendment under
a five-minute limit on debate. Its
passage by next Saturday is hoped
for, but regarded doubtful because of
revisions planned by the ways and
means committee. These may include
new sources of revenue to make up
deficits, which will result from enact
ment of national prohibition legis
lation. With the senate finance committee
resuming hearings tomorrow on the
bill, the senate is expected to proceed
leisurelv on other pending legislation,
awaiting the revenue measure. To
morrow it will begin work on the
house minerals control bill, for which
the senate mines committee has sub
stituted a measure authorizing a min
erals purchasing corporation with a
revolving fund of $50,000 000 to buy
metals at prices to stimulate produc
tion. To Press "Dry" Zones Measure.

tive Webb of North Carolina, fortified
by a special rule, plans to call up the
senate resolution authorizing the
president to , establish prohibition
tones around coal mines, shipyards,
munitions and other war plants.
Early action also is planned by the
house agricultural committee on the
emergency agricultural bill passed
last week by the senate, providing for
national prohibition next July 1.
The revenue bill will be discussed
tomorrow in the house by Repre
sentative Fordney of Michigan, rank
ing republican of the ways and means
committee. He expects to urge in
crease of tariff acts.

estimated to carry between $4,000,000,-
000 and $6,000,000,000 to provide for
the increase in the army authorized
tinder the man-power act, also may
be taken up this week.
Disagree Over Oil Leasing.
Senate and house conferees on the
oil leasing bill after an all-day ses
sion today failed to settle differences
growing out of amendments to the
measure. Because of divergent opin
ions of the managers to the attitude
of administration officials toward the
development of western mineral lands
and the naval oil reserves in Cali
fornia and Wyoming they decided to
ask the attorney general and the sec
retaries of the navy and interior to
appear. before them and outline their
views, ine principal ditference be
tween the house and senate managers,
it is understood, is over the granting
of leases on oil and gas lands and the
payment of royalties to the govern
ment. ,

A local organization of the asso
ciation of Western Union Telegraph
employes has been perfected in
Omaha. The new Jocal comprises a
membership of approximately 250
members all employes of the West
ern Union company in Omaha. Fol
lowing are the officers:
S. S. Frank, president; A. J. Heb
son, vice-president; A. C. Nerness.
secretary-treasurer. C. A. Cobb, Miss
Katherine Tyler and Miss Margue
rite Beck, welfare committee. Senior
Vice President C. H. Swartz, Kansas
City, assisted in formulating the lo
cal. The association, national in its
sctpe, is composed of more than
25,000 commercial and railroad teleg
raphers, and while not antagonistic
to organized labor, Mr. Swartz says,
has nothing in common with any
labor organization. '
Purpose of Organization.
The object of this organization is
along mutual welfare lines between
emplayer and employe, to co-ordinate
with the government and assist in
every way to keep the wheels of
oroeress turning during the period
of emergency. It has the support of
Postmaster General Burleson, ac
cording to Mr. Swartz, and the three
units the association, Western Union
company, and the rostotnee de
partment are working together in an
effort to adjust all wage -disagree
ment, and disputes which should tend
to create dissension.
Xt a rnnfirenre held recently be
tween Postmaster General Burleson,
officers of the telegraph companies
and members of the association in
Washington, Mr. Burleson ordered
that certain discharged employes be
reinstated, that the scale of pay be
advanced 10 per cent, and promised
to take up the matter of further wage
adjustments of telegraphers to meet
the high cost of living. Wage in
creases as high as 40 per cent will be
granted to efficient men, is the
opinion of the vice president, when
the matter is laid before a conference
which is to be held in Washington
some time during the month of Uc
tober.
The Average Pay.
The average pay of telegraphers at
the present time is approximately $78
month on the basis of an o-hour
day with time and one-half for over
time.. In regard to speed Mr. Swartz
said that the maximum number of
ordinary telegrams had been fixed at
40 an hour. To send telegrams at a
faster rate decreases the efficiency of
the operator, he said, and when the
matter was brought to the attention
of Mr. Burleson, the maximum was
nxed,
Working in conjunction with the
other two units the association is
now endeavoring to eliminate a large
number of telegrams which block
traffic and could easily be sent by
mail. He cites as an instance that
dunnar a busv dav in Washinpfnn
59,000 telegrams were filed, 49,000 of
which were for government service.
Thousands of these wires, Mr. Swartz
says, were not important enough to
be sent over the wire, but employes
naa no instructions to do otherwise
ana could not deviate from instruc
tion.
Mr. Swartz is optimistic concerning
association ana predicts that

his experiences while a captive, and

Hitchcock was forced to walk more
than 100 miles. This he did in eight
consecutive nights. He was captur
ed March 6, when forced to land
after an aerial combat with three
German machines. He was wounded
in the thigh.
"After landing inside the German
lines," said Hitchcock, "I fainted
twice. In the hospital I received
fair treatment only. There was one
doctor for the 150 patients, and the
food was not very good.
Escapes While Guard Sleeps.
"I escaped while being transported
with two other Americans from
Lachfeld to Rastadt. There was one
German guard for the three of us.
"While the train stopped at a sta
tion near Ulm. the guard fell into a
doze. "I snatched the failway map
which was near him and also my
money. The guard awoke and missed
the map and money. Picking up my
package of food which had been saved
from my rations, but leaving the map
behind, I rushed out of the door op
posite and ran from the track. The
guard yelled after me, but I knew he
could not follow because of the two
other prisoners he had.
In French Uniform.
"I slowed down and began to walk
toward the frontier. During the day
I always hid in the woods, and at
ight I evaded towns and villages,
walking around them. I was always
on a close watch for the Germans,
for I was in the uniform of a French
aviator. Most of the territory I tra
versed was farming land with the
people working during the day. When
they left the fields in the evening I
would begin my tramp.
"Arriving at what I thought was
the Swiss frontier, I watched for
traps, such as electrically charged
wires and automatic signals. Appar
ently I evaded all such things.
"One morning I felt sure that I
was in Switzerland, but before inquir

For Early Registration.
There is a strong feeling favoring
registration early in the day. A large
force of clerks will be ready to do the
work rapidly, and it is hoped that the
total registration will be completed
early in the afternoon. Employes can
demand the time required.
Government estiraatea place the
total registration in Council Bluffs at
4,052. After the registration, send
ing out the questionnaires will com
mence and they will go forth from
the legal advisory board at the rate
of 200 daily. Judge Wheeler, chair
man of the board, will practically
abandon his court duties until the
questionnaires are completed and his
confreres, Attorney H. V. Battey and
J. C. Pryor will have no other busi
ness they will consider paramount.
One week is allowed after the ques

turns, and this means that 27 days
will be continuously devoted to the
work by Judge Wheeler, during which
time he will not attempt to hold
court.
