THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1918.
BRINGS ACTION
TO STOP HOME
RULE CHARTER
Contends That the Strict Ob'
1 servance of Provisions Are
Prerequisites of the
Charter.
City Attorney Weaver figuratively
threw up his hands when he ap
peared in Judge Troup's court to de
fend an action brought by J. P.
Breen, in the name of Marion O.
Cunningham, to stop the submission
of the proposed new home rule char
ter to the voters on November 5.
In his argument Breen contended
that strict observance of constitu
tional provisions are prerequisites to
the validity of the charter. He in
sisted that not less than 30 days
must intervene between the date of
the last official publication of the
charter and the date of the election.
In this instance he maintained that
only 23 days would elapse, and he
further argued that the charter com
mittee did not file 25 copies of the
charter with the city clerk at the
time the official copy was filed.
Attorney Weaver admitted to the
court that probably the charter
committee overlooked the manda
tory features of some of these
provisions and he announced that
the city would like to have a ruling
from the court for further guidance.
County Attorney Magney appear
ed for Election Commissioner Moor
head, but made no argument.
Judge Troup will announce his
decision on Thursday morning.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
STRIKES VICTIMS
WITHOUTWARNING
Pneumonia Often Results; Vic
tims Seized Without Warn
ing, Making Precaution
Doubly Necessary.
Much of the difficulty expe
rienced by health authorities in
checking the spread of the Spanish
influenza lies in the fact that it
strikes its victim without warning.
t Although State and Federal
authorties are taking every possi
ble precaution in their effort to stop
the spread of the epidemic, the dis
ease in many sections of the coun
try has gotten entirely beyond con
trol and is claiming its victims by
the thousands.
It is universally agreed by all
well informed persons that the
surest preventative is to get the
system in the best possible physi
cal condition in order to be able to
. throw off the infection. As has been
previously stated it is possible to
perfect the powers of resistance of
the human system so that it can
throw off almost any infection, not
excepting Spanish Influenza, which
is one of the most contagious dis
eases known.
I Medical authorities agree that
people who are weak and run-down
are the earliest victims of the In
fluenza epidemic. If you find your
self weak or losing flesh, or if you
are in a generally run-down condi
tion, you are really in great danger
if you should come in contact with
the Influenza germ.
As a powerful reconstructive
tonic and system builder, Tanlac is
without equal. This is a statement
of facts and is fully supported by
recognized authorities. According
to all accepted reference works, in
cluding the United States Dispensa
tory, Encyclopedia Britannica and
lonHinc t.vt hooka used in the
school of medicine, the principal in
gredients of Tanlac possess me
uht valuable tonic properties
fc known to science. This statement is
further proven by the fact that
millions of persons who have actual
ly taken Tanlac have testified to its
extraordinary merit as a medicine.
Tanlac restores health and
strength to the weak and run-down
system by enabling every organ of
the body to perform its proper
function in nature's own way. -It
creates a healthy appetite for good
nourishing food, and is an ideal
strengthening tonic for persons who
are in a run-down condition and
effects of Influenza, Grippe or
Bronchial troubles.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all

pany's stores. Harvard Pharmacy

FLU RUMORS ARE
DAMNABLE LIES
SAY ARMY MEN
Stories of Death and Shooting
of Doctors and Nurses for
Spreading Germs Are
Ridiculously False.
False reports about the influenza
epidemic at Camp Dodge, Ia., are
current in Omaha, the story that
doctors and nurses were ' shot at
sunrise for spreading "flu" germs is
heard on every street corner.
Authorities at Camp Dodge have
denied the reports, which they de
clare are "wild and woozy lies."
Dame Rumor has not been so
active in Omaha but it is, certain
that the conditions at Fort Omaha
have been exaggerated and authori
ties wish to impress the fact tlrtt
sensational stories please the Huns
and bring needless heartaches to
relatives of the soldiers.
The following article from the
Camp Dodger nails some of the lies
which have been circulated about
conditions there:
"The old hag dubbed Dame
Rumor has sure been on the job in
Des Moines lately. In a few days
she's spread a flock of the wildest,
wooziest and most ridiculous false
reports imaginable. They've all had
to do with conditions at Camp
Dodge, and if they hadn't created
such havoc with the civilian morale,
they'd be fodder for a gigantic laugh.
Witness these samples:
"Five Camp Dodge doctors
and twice as many nurses shot
at sunrise for helping spread
flu germs 1
"Fifty negroes buried in one
large rave back of the base
hospital!
"An average of 200 men dying
every day at the base hospital!
"Sick men at Camp Dodge
suffering from lack of proper
treatment and suppliesl
Public Falls for 'Em.
"They's been a sweet pack of lies,
all right. And the worst of it is the
gullible public has fallen for 'em
taken 'em hook, line and sinker. The
menace of these absurd stories be
came so ridiculous a few days ago
that Col. E. W. Rich, division sur
geon, had them officially denieid in
the daily papers.
"The character of the lies smack
very much of Hun propaganda. But
it's not impossible that jesting sol
diers have played into the enemy's
hand by telling friends exaggerated
stories of aff.irs inside the quar
antined cantonment. And the
'friends' have done the rest, the re
sult being heartaches for hundreds
of soldiers' parents and a wave of
panicky sensationalism throughout
the city.
"Putting it plainly, it's up to us at
Dodge to keep our mouths tiJitly
shut concerning anything pertaining
to cantonment affa;-s. If there is
ever a repetition of ;e late rumor
fest let it not be said that we have
had any part in the damnable
business."
Fine Taxi Driver Alleged
to Have Embezzled Fares
Lester O. Polke, a chauffeur for
the Omaha Taxicab company, was
fined $10 and costs in police court
yesterday morning on a charge of
embezzlement.
It is alleged that Polke charged
$2.85 for a trip from Omaha to
Council Bluffs, which should have
been about $2.00, and then set his
fare meter to show $1.80, which
amount he reported to his company,
"pocketing" the difference.
A CHILD DOESN'T
LAUGH AND PLAY
IF CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! Is tongue coat
ed, breath feverish and
stomach sour?
"California Syrup of Figs"
can't harm tender stomach,
r liver, bowels.
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish,
stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or yonr child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless,
doesn't eat heartily, full of cId or
has sore throat or any other chil
dren's ailment, give a teaspoonful
of "California Syrup of Figs," then
don't worry, because it is perfectly
harmless, and in a few hours all
this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you
have a well, playful child again. A
thorough "inside cleansing" is
oftimes all that is necessary. It
should be the first treatment given
in aay sickness.
Beware of counterfeit ig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for. babies, chil
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Look
carefully and see that it is made by
the "California Fig Syrup Com
pany." Adv, ' .
"Have moved a little closer to
the big fight and the boom of the
cannons can now be plainly heard,"
wrote John J. Cobry, member of
the 25th aero squadron, in France,
to his mother, Mrs. Mary Cobry,
2821 Davenport street.
"But with all the booming, I was
able yesterday to hear a hearty
'hello' shot in my direction, and on
looking around was facing another
Omahan, Lt. Jack Baldwin. He is
one of a number of my former
Omaha friends whom I have met.
Among them was Lt. Thomasen
and Lt. Max Conrad. Also heard
from Jack Phalen yesterday, and le
is in a nearby camp. Guess they've
moved Omaha over to France."
Sergt. Edward H. Glick, son
of Mr. I Click, 534 Park avenue,
has arrived safely overseas, accord

and declares they deserve the hearty
support .of all the home folks.
Sergt. Lloyd M. Berryman. of
Cozad, Neb., who was recently re
ported seriously wounded in action,
wrote a cheery letter to his parents
September 8, before lie was wound
ed. He wrote:
"This is the starting of the rainy
season and I got soaked to the hide
yesterday, but a Yank don't care for
that. They don't care for anything
over here but to kill a German and
get their chow. I went out on a
patrol in No Man's Land, and we
ran into a German patrol of 25 men,
and all we had were our pistols and
some grenades, and we shot them
up a bunch. We killed five, wound
ed one and took three prisoners,
and, believe me, they sure did holler
'Kamerad.' I am here to kill all I
can, and I got one that I know of,
and none of our men was hurt.
Four of us on the patrol got a letter
from the colonel and one from the
general, and I am sending them
home, for I am pretty proud of
them."
Lt.-C,ol. Townsend Whelen, who
vas formerly stationed at Fort
Crook, is the author of "The Ameri
can Rifle," jut published by the
Century company. The author con
ceived the idea of writing the book
while stationed in Omaha and it was
here that he began the work of gath
ering material. He worked on the
data for ten years and fired at least
50,000 rounds with all types of rifles
in experimental tests. Much of tl
work of writing the manuscript was
done, under grea pressure and at
night, when time could be snatched
from other duties. The book was
begun in Panama, some of it was
written in the jungle, other portions
on the deck of an army transport in
mid-ocean, when lights were not
allowed at nights on account of the
submarines.
Frank Dineen, formerly of the
Omaha quartermaster corps, lias
been commissioned lieutenant and
is now stationed at Governors
Island, New York.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Belman of the
Morris hotel received an .exciting
letter from their son, who was a
student at Creighton university and
is now with Pershing in France.
"Exciting? Well I guess," he says.
"Our artillery opened up at 1 o'clock
sharp and entertained 'Fritz' for four
solid hours. At 5 o'clock our com
pany, the first to go over the top,
left the muddy trenches behind and
started out to finish the argument.
Little opposition was met as most of
those who remained after the fire
of our big guns came out shouting
'Kamarad,' but they were too late,
we could Hot be bothered with pris
oners so soon so we made 'good
Dutchmen' of them."
The partof the letter that should
interest the mothers is: "We have
all been issued leather jackets, full
lined, and they sure keep your boy
nice and warm. The 'grub' is get
ting better every day, in fact we
have an abundance of everything.",
He makes the request "Mother,
don't fail to drop a dime on the Sal
vation Army drum as you pass as
they do so much for us."

GERMAN STATE
NOW IS CREATED
WITH Ifl AUSTRIA
Karl Seitz, Teuton Socialist
Leader in Austria, is Made
President of the New
Assembly. .
Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 23. The
German-Austrian deputies in the
Austrian Reichrath have formed an
assembly for the purpose of con
ducting the affairs of the Germanic
people in Austria and have issued a
declaration announcing the creation
of a "German state of Austria."
Karl Seitz, leader of the German
socialists in Austria, has been elect
ed president of the new assembly.
The deputies have announced their
desire to bring about the autonomy
of the Germans in Austria and to es
tablish relations with other nations.
The assembly has drawn up a res
olution respecting the form of gov
ernment of the territory occupied by
Germans. The "German state of
Austria," will seek access to the Ad
riatic sea. in agreement with other
nations. Pending the establishment
of a constitution according to this
program the people will be repre
sented by the Reichsrath deputies
constituted as a provisional national
assembly. This body will represent
this body in Austria in negotiations
for peace and will exercise legisla
tive powers. The legislative branch
will consist of 20 members who will
have power to contract state debts
and administer interior affairs.
There has been evidence that, the
German people in Austria fearing
that Austro-Hungary might draw
away from Germany were desirous
of insuring their own close unity
with the German empire.

forms the center of Austrian society
The census of 1910 gave the Ger
man speaking population as 9,950,
000 out of a total of 28,325,000.
