Camp Commanders Will Help Discharged Men Secure Employment By order of all camp commanders, the adjutant general has authorized the Department of Labor to send representatives to the camps to furn ish information which will enable the camp commanders to assist dis charged men in securing suitable employment after leaving the army. The order prohibits individual com panies from placing their agents in the camps, but allows the railroad administration, the fuel administra tion, shipping board and Postoffice department to have representatives, although they are not permitted to deal directly with the men. Employers who are in need of men should communicate with the camp representatives through their state directors of the states in which camps are located. MAJOR PRAISES CAPTAIN AUSTIN FOR GOOD WORK E.

Through Major Parkinson of the Thirty-eighth infantry, President Calvin of the Union Pacific has been advised that in France, his son-in-law. Captain James B. Austin, was wounded in battle October 9 and died the following day. Captain Austin was of Company H in Major Parkinson's regiment and the two officers were warm friends. In writing a young woman friend in Salt Lake City under date of July 22, the major has this to say, of his army friend: Praise for Pal. "Captain Austin, Margery How ard's brother, joined us , yesterday, He is one peach. September 16, in writing home, Maior Parkinson has this to say: Jimmie Austin has been a peach of a pal since he joined the regi mcnt. He has a company in my battalion, for you see I am a major now. jimmie ana i nave siept to gether during the few minutes of the past week that anyone has been able to sleep. In his next letter, dated Uctober 16, the major says: Tells of Last Battle. , "On the ninth, two days before I was wounded, Jimmie Austin was carried off the battlefield severely wounded, after making a wonder fully gallant fight. He was without doubt one of our best officers and the entire regiment is anxious as to the outcome of his wounds. No news had come concerning him uo to the time I left." Information from the war depart ment brought word of the death of Captain Austin, but up to this time nothing has been received concern- ng the disposition of the body. However, it is to be brought back to the states at the earliest opportunf ty- Emil Boudar Killed in Action, on French Front Mrs. Boudar. 1312 SoutH Fourth street, received word Sunday even ing of the death of her son, Private Emil Boudar, who died of wounds received in action in France on Oc tober 26.

Judge Decides Ten Pounds Butter Too Much for One Police Judge Britt decided that 10 pounds of butter was too much but ter to buy at one time, and as a result Jim Wilson, negro, 1905 Cum ing street, will spend the next 30 days in the city jail. The manager of the Marsh & Marsh Grocery Co. testified in po lice court Wednesday that Wilson had ordered the butter in the name of one of the Marsh customers, and then peddled it about the street. Wilson was later charged with stealing four automobile tires and was bound over to the district court on a $1,000 bond. FOR Thanksgiving day, matinee and night, the demand for seats at the Orpheum has been great, and two capacity houses will spend part of the day with vaudeville. The bill is evenly balanced with a num ber of very clever people. There are two headliners and two special features on the program. Charm and daintiness characterize the skit, "A Ray of Sunshine," presented by Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman as one of the headline features Another stellar act is the miniature 'musical comedy, Ihe Girl ort the Magazine," with Florie Millership and Charles O'Connor as the principles.' Next week one of the stellar acts will be the dramatic offering, "Where Things Happen." Mrs. Thomas Whiff en, who has been on the stage over 50 years, will ap pear in the charming comedy, "Foxy Grandpa. Managers Ledoux and LeMar quand of the Empress theater are providing their patrons with a brand new show today. Edward hsmonde and company in "The Tropville Re cruit" head the bill. Plunkett and Pomaine come with a singing and dancing skit entitled "The Two Original Boston Beans." They finish with "The Dance of the Allies" pre sented in full military costume. Wiesser and Reeser, billed as "The Tan Town Follies," have an excel lent idea of comedy values. "Daly's Tangled Army," a hilarious military novelty in wiich five men take part, completes the vaudeville program. "Leave It to Jane" will play an other double-header at the Boyd theater today, and the joys of At water college and its ultimate tri umph over Bingham will be tpld for the jollification of everybody.1 It is one joy riot from first to last with lots of real fun and enough noise to keep the balance even. William Hodge is coming to the Boyd again W Sunday for a stay of five performances in "A Cure for Curables," his latest and many say his best comedy. It is a typical Hodge play, and from advance in quiry the engagement will draw out new attendance records for the year. When David W. Griffith was di recting scenes just back of the trenches in France, shell fell and exploded within a hundred feet of him three different times, -and at each explosion Lillian and Dorothy Gish promptly fainted. The burst ing shells are shown in Mr. Griffith's stupendous love drama, "Hearts of the World," now playing at the Brandeis theater twice daily. Cohan and Harris will present their extraordinary comedy success, A lailor-Made Alan, at the Bran deis theater from December 1 to 4 with a Wednesday matinee. New York critics held a veritable tourna ment of adjectives over "A Tailor faH Man." each striviner for em phasis to declare how great it really was. Mrs. L. C. .Titsworth, Milton apartments, has received a letter from her son, Corp. Claude Tits worth, who has been gassed and wounded, and is now in a Red Cross hospital in France. This is the first word from him since the telegram from the War department, saying that he had been wounded in action, was received, and the fam ily have been greatly worried, es pecially since they received the Red Cross label for his Christmas package. It was scorched and torn, as though it had been struck by a bullet.. "They are nice to us here," he writes. "I am with another fellow from my company, who is also from Omaha. My cot is right beside his, and we have good visits. "The nurses treat us fine and we get good meals. "From the looks of things, the old war will soon be over, and I sure hope it will. Just to think of com ing back home once more! Won't it be glorious?" The letter was written November 7, just a few days before the armis tice was signed. Capt.

MUST FACE MANY HARD PROBLEMS AFTERJHE WAR Father McMenamy Says Same Readjustment Is Necessary in Educational Institu tions as in Business. "The War and the College" was the subject of an address delivered by Father Francis A. McMenany, president of Creighton university, before the members of the Rotary club at their Monday luncheon in the Fontenelle hotel Wednesday. ! Father McMenany said that the educational institutions of the coun ts have many problems in the re construction following the war just as the business institutions of the country have. He spoke at length upon the Students' Army Training corps and of the very effective work accomplished by these young men during the short period of their organization. He said that "immedi ately after the signing of the armi stice "the college men began to ask the question, 'what about the S. A. T. C " That question was -uppermost in our minds until last night, when the colleges were informed that a plan of demobilization .would follow soon. The question then arises: Will there be anything per manent as a result of government control? He said in referring to university military training in colleges: "This would be desirable. A reasonable amount of military training can be worked in the machinery of nearly every college, with benefit to the men themselves and to the country, building up a vast reserve of military material which was so lacking at the outbreak of this war in every coun try except Germany." Criticizes Smith Bill. Referring to the Smith bill now before congress to create another member to our cabinet to have fed eral control of education, and for which one appropriation of $100, 000,000 is for the education of teach ers, Americanization, medical wel fare of children and for the abolish- men of illiteracy, he said: "It has many fine points and many weak points, just as any bill for centraliza tion has. It will be a splendid thing as far as Americanization goes, but on the other points I think it is a better plan that they be handled by the states rather than by the federal government. "It looks like a step towards the political control of education. The National Educational association of this country has been working hard to keen education out of politics. Here the power will be under one man, and he will be very powerful politically, and in every way Influ ential.1 We have been fighting Ger many because of centralized power, and we Americans believe that the provisions of the Smith bill are put ting too much power in one man's hands." t Frank Mislivec of South Omaha Killed in Action Private Frank Mislivec, 22 years of age, was reported killed in action October 24. Jle was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Mislevic, 1822 O street. He was a member of Company E, ?5Sth infantry, 89th division, and went to France in April of this year. Before he was drafted into the army he was employed at the Cudahy Packing company. "PHOTO IlAY' OFFERING J FOR. TODAY On the Screen Today In In In In Bleltfl MARGUERITE CLARK, Wf Or A CLEAR SKY."

The sitiv :.re un usual and Barrymore is at her best in this clever comedy. Dustin Fanium, that great, big virile out-o-doors man. and a grand, good actor, is busily engagaed at the lirunton studios. He is to appear in "A Man in the Open," Roger Po- cock's great Western novel, and is being directed by Frededick C. Warde. When I peeked into Far nura's office the other morning he was busily engaged in discussing some business with his director. However, "Dusty" and I have been fast friends for many years and when he saw me he stopped and said: "Come in, Imogene, I'm about to tell a story." And he did so! "It wa9 when I was starring in one of Augustus Thomas's plays that our special train arrived in a small southern city for a one-night stand. Hot I'll never forget that heat. "We left the train of Pullmans." continued Farnum. "and all hurried to the one hotel. There wasn't a bathroom in the place! There were dire murmurings from the company who were hot, tired and longing for a showerl "What was to be done I took a stroll through the town to cogitate. I passed the window of a plumber's shop and there in the window was a new bathtub all nickled and every thing. I went in and rented it, Carted it to the railroad. Tlaced the tub in a state room. Got permission to use an adjacent hvdrant. Attached a hose from the hydrant to tub, and in the course of evv.its, every mem ber of my company took a ccld plunge. Then the tub went back to the window!" "You're wanted on the lot, Mr. Farnum," said a messenger poking his ..ead in the doorway. Then "Dusty" went away from there! Imo Devoro.
