New Horseshoe Champs 5 -Earn Title in Tourney Held at Blar junday After holdin' 1. championship of Nebraska a!QV' two months, Omaha and Blah horseshoe pitchers were classed with the "has beens," " following the Nebraska-Iowa cham pionship tournament at Blair last - Sunday. The dual title, however, remains with Nebraska players. J. P. Knudsen of Kennard carried . home the singles trophy after one of the most hotly contested series of games ever seen in the tate. He became a favorite early in the tour ney by defeating "Butch" Cook, the title holder. He contested in the finals with Colgan of Herman, who made him exert himself to the limit to carry home the title. In winning the event Knudson was forced to defeat such stars of the game as "Butch" Cook of Blair, R. S. Slayder, "Ringer" Pierce of , Elk City, Jeff Vaughn of Herman " '"and Colgan. ' " The interest was not evident in the doubles that was shown in the singles. Slader Brothers started out fast and apparently were in line to cop the doubles title. They were unable to play in the final round and the title went to Colgan and Vaughn of Henrntn, who came up from the lower section. ' Francis and Cowger of Omaha, former doubles champions of Ne- : braska, were not up to their usual form and lost out in the first round. They had worked all night and were forced to enter the 'meet without any preliminary practice, arrivingat Blair late. Other Omaha players did not attend the tourney. V Seventy men participated in the ' contest and more than 500 spec tators were present. The match was a Red Cross benefit and $51 was presented to the Washington county chapter.

How the Aus trian offensive along the Piave river was stopped was described today by the Duke of Aosta, commander of the Third Italian army, in an inter view with the foreign editor of the. Matin. He said: "We had to deal with an enemy who had prepared everything minutely, but we were forewarned. I did not have a moment's uneasi ness. "I let him advance across the Piave along certain fronts as far as Monasterio, and then, when he was just where I wanted him mybat teries opened a concentric fire. What butchery! Horrible Spectacle. "The next day I viewed the battle field. God knows I saw massacres during the three years I fought on the terrible Carso plateau, but my eyes never before gazed on such a spectacle." Discussing the war situation as a whole, the duke said: "What the allies are doing fills me with admiration and wonder. I freely admit that I never believed this vast offensive would be possible before next spring. That it could be launched this year in the middle of the German attack is proof that for Marshal Foch the problem of re serves has ceased to be a care. "Reserves! The whole question lies there. If one is certain of being able to reinforce and relieve the troops engaged while the action is proceeding, one can boldly embark on no matter what operation. Must Not Stop. "But," continued the duke, "now that we have the upper hand, there must be no stopping. We must beat them completely. We owe it to our selves. For my part I cannot imagine a peace giving the Germans and the Austrians the right to come peacefully to trade and travel in our country. j ' "But let us leave politics. I am a soldier and that is all I want to be a soldier like the youngest of them here. Those around me know that, and I think they return it in devo tion and affection. Go and see them. You will behold heroes those who have repelled the enemy those of Venice who have occupied the delta of the Tiave. They live, cling on and fight under such conditions that one must bow before them. Thanks to them, Venice breathes freely, awaiting the day of revenge." 1 4 1 5 2 2 9 13 6 3 ro 2:07; Ceneral High FoobBall Plans Are Well Under Way Central high school's' football squad will buck up against the first rival line this season when the squad meets the team from the Institute for the Deaf Saturday at the Deaf institute field.

Every of ficer and enlisted man of the ex peditionary forces is offered in structions under a vast educational system organized by the Young Men's Christian association, with the approval of the commander-in-chief. The project has been under dis cussion by the military and Young Men's Christian association for some time and details are now com pleted by general orders placing in operation a course of preparation. General Pershing has taken a keen personal interest in the matter and has co-operated with and assisted the Young Men's Christian associa tion army education commission, which originated the idea and will conduct the schools. The plan contemplates the stand ardization of educational methods and the establishment of a school at all posts, cantonments, hospital rest camps, or in areas having a con stant population of 500 or more. The courses are to be uniform throughout the service in accord ance with the system arranged by the Young Men's Christian associa tion.

Likewise there will be courses in common school subjects. , Attend ance will be voluntary. The army corps, division and reg imental commanders and post com manders will each appoint a quali fied member of the staff as a school officer, who will be charged with the supervision of the educational work within his organization. Under the same plan arrange ments have been made with the French and British colleges, univer sities and technical schools for the attendance of selected officers and enlisted men from the American expeditionary forces at moderate personal cost and leaves of absence and furloughs" will be granted se lected applicants.

Bee Travelogues for Sunday Educational Says Superintendent Superintendant Beveridire of the public schools believes that the boys and girls should know more of the history of Nebraska and particularly of the country within a radius of 25 miles from Omaha.

The superintendent was interested in a series of articles, "Journevs to Nearby Towns," started in The Bee last Sunday, the first being of De Sota, one of the historic spots of Nebraska.

Wilson, court of ficer at Central police station, has admitted to Superintendent Ringer of the police department that his accounts have not been correct. Whether there is an actual short age, or whether the situation in volves only clerical errors, the su perintendent is not ready to an nounce, but he has granted Wilson a leave of absence until October 1, pending an audit of the accounts by the city accounting department.

It shows how a young man risked everything his father's confidence, his sister's re spect and his sweetheart's love, to serve his country, and how he came through all right in the end, and in stead of being the man they left be hind, is chosen to be the one to lead them "over there." Three acts are required to unfold the mystery of the plot and run down the head of the gang, who happens here to be a woman, very clever and versatile, but not quite enough so to elude the 'vigilance of the man who pursues her. In the course of these acts some really interesting moments arise, and- these are well carried off. Jack Reidy has the role of the young patriot who permitted himself to be misunderstood, and Ruby Kisman is in the part of the woman spy, and both are good. The others play in telligently their roles. "Happiness," the new play by J. Hartley Manners, who wrote "Peg of My Heart," and "Out There," will be seen in Omaha for the first time at the Branedis theater for three nights beginning tomorrow evening, September 26. with a mati nee Satuiday. "Happiness," was presented in New York last season, where it remained for six months. The present is its first tour. It is one of the most successful plays of recent years, and is written in three acts and an epilogue. The real spirit of the message that Jenny, the little apprentice girl of the fashion able dressmaking establishment, snaps across the footlights is, "Brace up and be happy." The little girl shows the way, and also brings her self from poverty to comparative comfort before "Happiness" ends. It will be presented here by a company of competent players headed by Gladys Hurlbut, with Leslie Falmer, Beatrice Warren, Eleanor Montell, Farrell Pelly, Florence Walcott and others. Well remembered in Omaha since the days when she headed the Ferris Stock company at the Boyd, Marie Pavey is appearing this week with Paul Decker in the one-act farce, "The Ruby Ray," at the Orpheum. Miss Pavey has had several import- i ant engagements in recent seasons. She scored one of her most emphatic successes in the New York produc tion of "Little Women." Other feature acts this week are the musi cal fantasy, "Cupid's Mirror," with Christie Mac Donald, and the dainty coloratura soprano, Marion Weeks. Tom Brown's Musical Highland ers at the Empress for the last times today. Attired in kilts; seven Scotch lads and lassies offer a vocal and musical ensemble that- has proved to be a prime favorite.

S. army. O.S. INFLUENCE BLAMED FOR HUN DEMOCRACY PLEA Parliamentarization Adherents Said to Be Supporting a Plan that Originated Abroad. Amsterdam, Sept. 24. The Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin makes the dis covery that the "tronde of the left," as it calls the adherents of the de mand for the parliamentarization and democratization of the German government, originates abroad and is under direct American influence. At The Hague, the newspaper says, there exists a German defeatist center, whose members seem to have free access to the German legation, where Foreign Secretary von Hintze is not held in high esteem. Among those defeatists, it declared, Ameri can elements apparently have suc ceeded in establishing the convic tion that President Wilson's motives are pure and that he has the real welfare of the German nation at heart. The Lokal Anzeiger voices its suspicion, however, that the Ameri can lighting man on the western front, gives a better clue to Amer ica's intention toward Germany than these political "backsliders" whose activities, nevertheless, "seem to have President Wilson's bless ings." President at Princeton. Princeton, N. J. Sept. 24. Presi dent Wilson arrived here this after noon to cast his vote in the New Jersey primaries. The president was greeted at the station by a lurge crowd of Princeton students and cadets from the aviation school.
