Stockholders to be Paid;

War Correspondent Will
Tell Omaha of West Front
braska Telephone company receiv-!
ed definite information from New
York yesterday as to what use is i
to be made of and what compensa-!
tion is to be paid for the use of the
property of the Bell Telephone sys-j
tern while it is being operated by i
the United States Post Office H. !
partment during the period of the
war.
The plans agreed upon were ar
rived at after a series of confer
ences between the postmaster gen
eral and his advisors and represen
tatives of the Bell Telephone sys
tem, said Mr. Yost. The basis of ne
gotiations, he stated, was to pro
tect the property and the service to
the' public in every possible way.
The principles adopted as a basis
of compensation were:
Any compensation fixed for the
period of control was to be consid
ered as compensation for an emerg
ency period and not in any way
considered as establishing a value
for the property.
The operation of the property is
to be continued on a basis of effi
ciency relatively equal to that of the
past
The property is to be fully main
tained so as to be turned back to
the company as good as when re
ceived. Employees' pensions, disability
benefits and death benefits now in
Dperation are to be continued.
All taxes, municipal or federal,
are to be paid by the government,
or, if paid by the companies, to be
reimbursed by the government.
For the security holders, it is pro
vided: a. Payment of the interest and ex
isting amortization charges on all
outstanding securities or obligations
of the Bell system in the hands of
the public, including the 6 per cent
convertible bonds issued August 1,
1918. j '
b. Payment of dividends at the
existing rate upon the share capital
of the Bell system outstanding in
the hands of the public.
c. Payment of charges, interest
dividends or other cost on new se
curities or capital issued in dis
charge conversion or removal or
extension of present obligations.

Outdoor Services Held
at St. Cecelia Cathedral
Services at St. Cecelia's cathedral
were held out doors at the usua
hours Sunday morning. A small
emergency altar was placed just in
side the main entrance at which low
masses were said, while the congre
gation knelt on the walk and steps,
and among the stone and timbers
scattered about for construction of
the cathedral towers.
Comparatively few worshipers at
tended the early masses, owing to
the published reports of closed
churches, less than SO being present
at the 7 o'clock service. Later, how
ever the attendance was quite large,
and fairly covered the yard and the
building materials. The extra-ordinary
circumstances lent unusual
solemnity to the services and was
reflected in the devout hush of the

Trobee's Chickens Gone,

"Chick-chick," called Officer Tro

feathered flock failed to come for
breakfast. On I investigation he
found the chickens had disappeared.
His mind flew to a colored man,
Henry Mack, who lived a few blocks
away. ... , r i
Acting on suspicion he took Mack
to jail, where, after much question

chicken recently. M
"Ah certainly do enjoy chicken,
Mack explained, his eyes shining
with pleasurable memories. n

May Spread Influenza
""The telephone with .its open
mouthpiece spreads influenza," de
clared C. P. Leon, Union Pacific
civil engineer. yesterday.
"It is easy to arrange a sanitary
covering that will not interfere with
the transmission of sound and yet
will be, efficacious as a preventative
of disease. I remember in. 1909 in
Los Angeles during an epidemic

When, on Thursday evening, Oc
tober 10, Floyd Gibbons tells in the
Auditorium about what he saw and
heard in his year on the west front,
lie will go into a field of wartime
nairative which has not been
touched by any other speaker who
has been in Omaha since the world
war broke out in August of 1914.
Soldiers of England, Scotland, Ire
land, France and Italy have talked
to Omaha gatherings; more than
one Canadian has made a good job
of description when given the op
portunity with an audience; Y. M.
C A. and Red Cross workers have
helned the muse with cranhic dis
course; but Mr. Gibbons is the first
of the important war correspond
ents to come home to give a first
hand account.
His adventures began some time
before the United States went into
the vvar. Givn an assignment as
London correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, he was told that he
might go on a boat under the pro
tection of a British safe-conduct the
boat, in fact, on which Von Bern
storff and his party were returned
to Germany. But Gibbons could see
no chance for a "story" in sailing on
a protected ship with the disgraced
ambassador of the Prussians. Presi
dent Wilson, at the time, had said
that he would take action on Ger
many's resumption, of unrestricted
submarine activity when an overt
act against the United States should
be committed; and it was Gibbons'
expressed idea that the sailing of
the Laconia might provoke Ger
many into just that act. It did; and
he was on the great liner when she
was hit.
Readers of American newspa
pers well remember the graphic ac
count of the disaster and its imme
diate results which he cabled from
Queenstown as soon as the life
boat on which he was adrift had
been picked up. Soon thereafter we
went into the war; and Gibbons was
in Paris to greet the first detach
ment of America's fighting men to
land in Europe. He is returned
with the markings as will as with
the knowledge of war; for one eye
is gone, and he has other injuries to
attest the zeal with which, although
not an enlisted man, he clung to his
job of reporting what took place on
the west front. "All in the day's
work," he told Lloyd George when
the primate of Great Britain ex
pressed regret that Gibbons should
have lost an eye; "I've enough sight
left to observe the kaiser's finish
which is coming soon!"
LOBEGK LOOKS
INTO WATER PIPE
PLANSFOR FORT
General Staff Informs Con
gressman That Inspector
Now Looking Over Ground
to Make Report.
Washington Bureau of Omaha Bee.
Washington, Oct. 6. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Lobecki
getting tired of the seeming mas
terly inactivity which surrounds the
water supply at Fort Crook, started
forth yesterday with the firm de
termination to pry something
loose.
He had a conference with Acting
Secretary of War Crowell, who
shnuted the congressman on to the
ircneral staff and there he ascer
tained that the whole subject of an
adequate supply of water for, fort
Crook is not being considered by
an inspector, who is in Omaha
looking over the ground.
Two Plans Considered.
Two propositions are under con
sideration by the general staff, one
to have the department install a
water system comensurate with the
needs of a camp such as the de
partment intends to make r-ort
Crook in conjunction with fort
Omaha, and the other is to award
the laying of mains connecting the
fort with South Omaha to the Oma
ha water board.
Some of the officers connected
with the War department ar-sore
at the cavalier manner General
Manager Howell of the water board
treated the question when the mat
ter was up some months ago.
They go so far as to say that if
Howell had laid down the mains to
Fort Crook he would have got his
pay for the work and the fort would
now be housing hundreds of men
engaged in balloon work.
As to H;gh School.
During hisf' visit to the War de-
oartment Mr. Lobeck was advised
an officer to drill the Omaha hirrh
school cadets as the principal had
requested, officers being needed at
the front and on detail duty.
A plan, however, is being worked
out, Mr. Lobeck was informed, that
will take care of the hisrh school
students of draft age and give. them
a military training.

LIBERTY BOND
CAMPAIGN NOT
' TO BE HALTED
German Peace Talk No Rea
son for Ceasing Activities,
Say Team Captains
and Workers.
Chairman Eastman of the Liberty
Loan committee called a meeting
Sunday of the team captains and
other workers who today will in
augurate the campaign that has to
do with the selling of bonds. The
meeting was held in the office of
Arthur C. Thomas, publicity man
ager for the Chamber of Commerce
and was well attended.
At the meeting of Liberty loan
workers the peace offers of the kais
er were taken up and discussed at
considerable length. Members of
the various committees were some.
! what divided as to what effect Ger
man peace talk would have on the
sale of the bonds. Generally it was
agreed that the talk would aid in
the sale, while a few were of the
opinion that it might' be something
of a hindrance.
It. was unanimously aereed. how
ever, that the best time to get ready
i for peace would be to make ample
preparations for carrying on the
i war. It was also the unanimous
; opinion that the kaiser's peace talk
should not be taken too seriously,
! for while he is talking peace, at the
same time he is telling his soldiers
to keep on fighting, as one of the
captains put it.
Must Go On.
O. T. Eastman, chairman of the
loan committee in discussing the
peace talk of the kaiser said:
"No matter what may be the re
sult with reference to early peace
and regardless of when the war ends,
we must go on and push this bond
sale. As an investment there is
nothing on earth quite as good as
these bonds. Think of an invest
ment that pays 4 per cent interest,
tax free. Can you beat it?
"When peace comes, whether it is
now, or within a year, these bonds
are going to be gilt edged and soon
will be at a premium."
E. F. Folda. state secretarv of the
Liberty Loan committee, urged add
ed zeal among all bond salesmen,
saying: If the war should end tO'
day, not only the proceeds of the
fourth, but the proceeds of a fifth
loan would be needed to bring the
boys home. As the situation Is at
this time, I believe that every pa
triotic person who has contemplated
taking bonds will double his, or her
subscription. The peace talk should
be the greatest incentive for buying
bonds.
Harry Whitehorn, captain of one
of the bond selling teams, urged a
most vigorous campaign and re
marked that whether peace came
now, or later, it would be necessary
to put Omaha and Nebraska over
the top, and that within the shortest
possible space of time, He referred
to the bonds as a splendid invest
ment, predicting that the day fol
lowing the declaration of peace they
would go above par and there re
main until called by the government,
Mr. Whitehorn ventured the opinion
that with an early peace, at least
a fifth bond issue will be required,
as it will require the expenditure of
vast sums of money to bring the
bovs home from Europe and. that
fully two years will be required for
the demobilization ot the united
States army after peace is declared.
Miss Agnes McAusland,
Pioneer, Called Home
Miss Agnes McAusland, 83 years
nlH and a resident of Omaha since
1860, died Sunday afternoon after

'WE'VE GOT THEM'
HOPEFUL CRY NOW
HEARD JN PARIS
Feeling is General That En
emy is Striving by One
Stroke to End His Los
ing Game.
Paris, Oct 6. All eyes in France
today are turned towards America
to Washington and Wilson.
What will President Wilson's re
ply be? People ask and wonder,
now that they know that the cen
tral empires, particularly Germany,
are seeking the cessation of hostili
ties and peace through the president
of the United States.
The feeling is general that the
central empires, bent upon the great
est gamble of all time, have attempt
ed to bring about by one stroke, the
termination of their losing game by
trying to seek the good offices oi
President Wilson as intermediary.
Paris went to church today as
never before since the opening of
hostilities. In the dark days when
the Germans occupied Chateau
Thierry, when their bridgehead
south of the Marne was like a lev
elled pistol at France's heart, Paris
remained indoors.
But today Paris sauntered out
early and the churches of all de
nominations were filled to over
flowing. Saint Gervais church, which was
damaged by the shell from" a long
range German gun on Good Friday,
has been sufficiently repaired to per
mit its doors to be opened today,
and worshippers flocked thither to
the shrine where once women and
children praying for France's libera
tion weie sacrificed. But if it was
prayers for the dead that were sung
a: St. Gervais on Good Friday, it
was Te Deums and Hosannas of
victory that floated to the heavens
today.
As Paris emerged from the
churches it overflowed upon the
cheerful boulevards or sought tem
porary abode in cafes bathed in
sunshine and everywhere one heard
no longer the familiar and hopeful
cry of "We shall get them," but the
satisfied and contented exclamation,
"We have got them."
Demand Unconditional Surrender.
Unconditional surrender charac
terizes the general comment in Paris
on the offer of peace by the central
powers. It is felt here that Ger
many and her allies have not gone
far enough in their request to Pres
ident Wilson for an armistice and
that although they have stated that
they are willing to talk peace on
President Wilson's plans, they have
not shown submission, such as was
forced upon Bulgaria. Following
are some of the editorial comments:
Figaro: Germany -wishes to stop
the war at the moment she is going
to be beaten, and knows it. Let
us suppose the proposition is ac
cepted. Immediately in Germany
there wilt be delirium of joy.
L'Homme Libre: We are on the
road to victory. We will not let
them stop us. An armistice is not
possible. We want reparation for
the past and guarantees for the fu
ture. Germany is in despair. She
begins to feel the anguish of her
defeat.
I.e Journal: There is no discus
sion between conqueror and con
quered. Other Paris newspapers are unan
imous in their demand for complete
victory.
Corporal Carl Schreiber
Sent to Local Hospital
Through arrangements made by
the soldiers' and sailors' welfare
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, Corp. Carl Schreiber of
North Tonowanda, New York, is
being cared for in one of the local
hospitals.
Corporal Schreiber is one of the
speakers sent here from Norfolk,
Va., to speak in behalf of the fourth
Liberty loan campaign, and was
taken sick from exposure. He has
been stopping at a hotel, but being
without friends or relatives in the
city, and in need of good care in his
weakened condition, was cared for
by the Omaha relief committee.
He was born in Berlin and made
a desperate effort to return to his
home city at the head of the Yank
army, but his progress was stopped
by wounds. He enlisted in the ma
rines shortly after war was declared
and accompanied them in the fight
ing where they earned the title,
"Devil Dogs."
Scouts' Mothers Organize
To Entertain Troop Eleven
The Scouts Mothers' club of
Troop 11 has been organized and
the following officers chosen: Presi
dent, Mrs A. M. Keenan; vice
president, Mrs. P. J. Welsh; secre
tary and treasurer, Mrs. C. Z. Gould.
The object of the club is to enable
mothers to become acquainted with
scout work, thereby taking a more
active interest in their boys.
Ihe Scouts Mothers club will
entertain the boys of Troop 11
Tuesday at St. Peter's school
grounds if the quarantine, which
has been placed over the city, is
removed by that date.

CHAPTER I.
The Thistledown Balloon.
i(T EG-PEG! Teg-peg 1"
In the stilly silence of
early dawn the harsh cry
came with startling loudness.
"Peg-peg! Peg-peg!"
Peggy, aroused from the sweet
slumber of the daybreak hour, peep
ed drawsily out of her window.
Now the cry changed to a pretty,
coaxing yodel:
"Rise up dear, day is here,
Come to see our big tree."
Immediately this was followed by
the harsher scream: "Peg-peg!
Peg-peg I"
"Blue Jay and his gangl" ex
claimed Peggy, suddenly awake. She
rt to the window.
"What do you mean, you rascals,
coming around at this hour in the
morning and waking everybody up?"
Blue Jay looked at her with his
saucy grin.
"Don't call us rascals, Princess
Peggy. You might hurt our feel
ings. Call us rather angel birds, for
we're reformed."
"Reformed! You"ll have to show
me!" Peggy was so surprised that
the slang slipped right out before
she knew it.
"That's just what we are going
to do show you!" giggled Blue Jay
his eyes snapping for fun. "Put aside
that doubting frown. Don instead
your gingham gown.. Gee, I'm a
poet and didn't know it."
"Don't add that to your other
sins," remarked Peggy severely.
"What are you going to show me?"
"The war work we've done to
prove that we have reformed and
deserve to be taken back to Bird
land," promtly spoke up Blue Jay.
"Come to our Bandits' Roost and
see how we have tried to make up
for our former wickedness."
Peggy hesitated It seemd too
good to be true. Perhaps it was
just a trap. Maybe if she went
she would be shut up in the dungeon
of the hollow tree just as Miss
Purple Swallow had been.
"Don't be afraid," he said, "We
really turned over a new leaf. And
anyway we couldn't make you a
prisoner. You're too big."
"But I'll have to make myself
small to fly with you," protested
1 eggy.
"Not a bit of it. We have a sur
prise for you." Blue Jay's eyes
twinkled more merrily than ever
Look out in the yard.
I'oggy looked. Then she gasped
There was a big white balloon sway
ing in the wind.
"A thistle-down airship just for
rrincess i eggy. announced isiue
Jay.
"Oh, how wonderful." exclaimed
"eggy, 'will it really carry me?
"I. will when you have had a
whnf of camouflage perfume, de
clared Blue Jay. "That will make
you as light as air at the 5me time
that it makes you as thin as air.
"Here's your camouflage per
! fume," piped up another Jav, com
ing xorwara witn an acorn ciuicnea
m it s claw.
I'eggy was still a bit uncertain
as to what to do, but she took a lit
tie sniff of th perfume. Instantly
she faded out of sight.
"Come, Princess, the morning
breezes will bear us to Bandits
Roost in a hurry."
"I'll go because I think that's an
honest twinkle in your eye," said
Peggy, looking Blue Jay straight
in the face. He laughed again,
while she ran downstairs to the
front door. As she ran out upon
the porch, the morning paper, new
ly arrived, stared up at her with big
headlines:
"First National bank robbed,"
she read aloud. "Bandits take $50,000
of Liberty Bond money belonging
to the government."
"Bandit that's what you called
me," giggled Blue Jay, "but what
is money? I never stole tlitt."
"Money is paper, and silver and
gold."
"Like this?" Blue Jay opened his
claw and there rolled out on the
porch a large gold piece.
"Why, yes. Where did you get
that?" Peggy was very much aston
ished. v
"I our hollow tret at Bandits'
Roost, and I think. I know where
the bandit is that stole it," an
swered Blue Jay. "Come, your air
ship awaits you."
Wondering what this could mean,
T &gy ran to the ying balloon
and seated herself m the little
trapeze that dangled beneh it. A
b--.eze caught the balloon and up
it floated into the air.
Masterpiece of Art,
Valued at $60,000 Is
On Exhibition Here
Omaha art lovers should avail
themselves of the opportunity to
see Herbert de Mareau, jr's., mas
terpiece, "The Girl He Left Be
hind Him," which is on exhibition
on the fourth floor of Orkin Bros.'
new store at Sixteenth and Harney
streets
De Mareau is recognized by art
critics as the greatest delineator of
firelight that the world has ever
known, and in all his pictures the
perfect and exquisite intermingling
of sunlight and firelight rival nature
itself.
This painting, which measures six
by eight feet, and which is valued at
$60,000, depicts an old French home
with the grandfather before the
fireplace reading from the family
bible. In the rear is the grand
daughter, who has evidently just
finished reading a letter from her
sweetheart. She still holds the let
ter as she looks out the window
wistfully watching for his return.
A flood of sunlight pours in upon
her as she stands there.
Herbert de Mareau was born in
Lyons, France in 1875 and resided
there during his entire life until
entering the army shortly after the
breaking out of the war. He was the
student of no teacher, but his close
contact with his immortal father
brought him fame as an artist.
This canvas is considered the best
he ever produced. In view of its
recognized excellence and the fact
that its author was killed last March
in the battle of the Aisne gives it a
unique place among the master
pieces of the great artists of the
world.
Police Raid Two Places
When Gambling is Alleged
Two alleged gambling places were
raided early Sunday morning by
police, and the inmates broughiMo
the police station, where they were
charged with playing cards for
money.
Carmel Troy's Soft Drink parlor,
1230 South Thirteenth street, was
swooped down upon about 1:30 a.
m., and nine inmates, including the
proprietor, were all brought to the
station. They were later released
on $25 bond per person, the pro
prietor being held for $100, which
he was able to procure.
The players were all guests.
A few minutes later a second
alarm was sent in and a' "peaceful"
game at the Des Moines hotel, Thir-
teenth and Howard streets, was
broken up by the police. Only four
inmates were captured in this raid,
the proprietor managing to escape.
The bond was fixed at $200 apiece
which they were unable to raise
and so remained in jail.

basis of the new German policy. .
The first clause provides for ad
herence to the government's replt
to the papal note of August 1, 1917.
Ihe second clause declares readi
ness to join in a league of nations
based on equality and free econom
ic development.
(Third clause missing.)
