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.
Henderson, Iowa players an
' nounced that they would hold an
open tourney September 28. This
meet will be open to all comers.

Paris, Sept. 24. 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."

Headquarters of the American
Expeditionary Forces, Sept. 23.
(By Associated Press.) 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. The following subjects will be
studied:
French language, history, charac
ter of institutions, French and Eng
lish peoples, causes of the war and
America's participation.
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.
The military authorities are en
thusiastic over the project aivd ex
pect that it will prove a valuable
aid to the discipline, comfort and
happiness of the men.

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.
"It is surprisine: what a wealth of
history is associated with the coun
try surrounding Omaha," he said.
"Consider the counties of Washing
ton, Burt and Douglas, for instance,
and then Sarpy county and over into
Council Bluffs."
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. He also was interested
in knowing that an article on old
Fort Calhoun will appear next Sun
day. He has made mention of these
articles to the teachers of the High
School of Commerce. As a general
proposition he advises the bovs and
girls to learn of the historical values
of the country near at home.

of Absence While Accounts
Are Examined by City
Accountant.
Swgeant W. R. Wilson, court of
ficer at Central police station, has
admitted to Superintendent Ringer

accounts have not been correct.

AT THE
THEATERS
OUR first war melodrama of the
season is now being played at
the Boyd, "The Man They
Left Behind," which deals with the
spy system and the United -States
secret service. 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

Burlesque was the gainer when
the two Sains, Lewis and Dody, left
the vaudeville stage. They are two
of the funniest comedians on the
American stage today and may be
seen at the Gaycty theater all this
week with "Hello, America!"
Major Maher to Speak
At Woman's Loan Rally
A patriotic rally will be held at
the Lincoln School Auditorium,
South Eleventh and Center streets,
Wednesday evening at 7:45, under
the auspices of the Women's Lib

Major John Maher will be the
speaker.
Rev. Father J. S. Stenson of St.
Pliilomena's church and Mrs. Frank
W. Judson, commanding colonel of
the Women's Committee of Omaha,
also will speak. A fine musical pro
gram has also been arranged.
Jugo-Slavs Plan to Join

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.

artist in place of an exceptionally
high class one, but he has 200 fans

adopted by Lloyd, and every two
weeks he takes the entire bunch to
a theater and then to ice cream
afterwards.
Mae Marsh has had the oppor
tunity of her young life to wear all
