THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 191&. 1 SOLDIERS NOT BEING RELEASED FROM GAMPS YET Appeals to Boards Are Futile, Officers Say; Jobs Will Hasten Getting Men Returned. The first thought after the news , of the signing of the armistice was, "When will the soldiers be home?" 1 and Omaha has been stirred by hundreds of unfounded rumors bout the demobilization of the r army. Local draft boards have been iwamped by women who implore x board mcmbefs to let ome soldier "come home this week.' One current rumor is that soWiers are already being rcleaseikfrom the camps, another is that several divi sions of soldiers who have been fighting in France now are on their way back to the states. Another rumor, just as absurd and as un founded as the others, is that the men will not be released from' army life '.'for years and years yet." ' Here is the truth of the matter: V No Releases as Yet. Official word from Washington authorizing the release of soldiers ' has not yelbeen received in Omaha. But, local draft boards have been instructed that September regis trants from 37 to 46 years of age who have not already filled out their questionnaires need not fill them - out, but they must, return them at once to their local draft board. Local boards also have been in l structed that all 18-year-old regis trants must fill out and file ques tionnaires and, if they are classified in class 1, they must report or phy sical examination. Boards to Get Jobs. Woxd from officials at Washing ton suggests that local boards will be usedvin obtaining jobs for re leased soldiers' and also hints that oldiers may be released if their dependants are in financial distress. The working of such a ruling has not yet been anrtounced to local board officials. Col. F. A. Grant, quartermaster xhere, states that although authentic information on the demobilization is lacking, he believes that the men NvilKbe sent home from the camps just as promptly as the program "a job for every soldier" can be worked out. Jobs to Get Releases. - "It will be on this .order," explain " ed the colonel, "every camp has full data concerning each soldier. For instance, here is a soldier who, be fore the war. was a mechanic work ing for the John Doe company in Omalra. The war is over, the gov ernment doesn't need '.him any more but the John Doe company does. Uncle Sam will sayto the John Doe company, 'what about this soldier? Still need him?' and the company -"will answer that the soldier's old 7 job is waiting for him and he will . be released from service. - "In general that is the manner in which the demobilization of our army will be effected." 1 Heavy Movement of Corn is Forecasted by Reports Reports to the railroads indicate that within the next week or 10 -days there will be a heavy move ment of new corn out of northern Nebraska and South Dakota, where the crop is fully up to normal. It is said that farmers are fearful that there is sociifTo be a sharp decline in . .t I., l.rr.r prices ana inai mey t'c 111 ""i to market the crop while it is fetch- ing better than $1 a bushel. Omaha being recognized as the . market for all northern Nebraska ' and the greater portion of South Dakota, it is anticipated that the " bulk of the corn grown in this ter- ritory will come here. The greater portion of it is being brought in by the Burlington and Northwestern " oads. ' ' ' Central Nebraska Gets -Anoth'er' Soaking Rain Another rain is general over about , all of central Nebraska, ac , ' cording to the morning reports to ' the railroads. In avgood many lo calities, during the night the pre , cipitation ranged from one-fourth to ( cne-half inch. It is clear and calm all through the western ?art of the state, with cloudy and misty through the Missouri valley. Western Nebraska temperatures this morning were 20 to 30 above -.zero, with a little colder in Colorado , and Wyoming. , Lobeck's Return to Congress Delayed by Famijy's Illness Congressman Lobeck has delayed - his return to Washington because of the illness of Mrs. .Lobeck and daughter, the latter being attended in a hospital.
