Polish SoldiersWill
Visit Omaha Tuesday
to Get: Enlistments
z
Omaha is to receive a visit next
Tuesday from a delegation of 14
.Polish soldiers wiio are now tour
ing America in thi interests of the
new Polish republic and securing
enlistments for the new army of
that nation." They will arrive here
next Tuesday from Minneapolis and
after, their visit and entertainment
in Omaha wil go to St. Louis.
Tuesday noon they "will be enter
tained by the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce at luncheon and will be
individually introduced .to the mem
bers by Father Gluba of Omaha..
The 14 Polish soldiers have seen
the most strenuous service during
the war in Europe, every one of
them has been wounded and dec
orated for bravery and the trip they
are now making in America in the
interests of the new Polish nation
is an award for their valiant service
in the army. One of the party is a
lieutenant, and all of them speak
the-English language having lived
in the United States formerly.
For the first time in the history of
the pottery industry in the United

A subcommittee has been ap
pointed by the Chamber of Com
merce to consider plans for an In
dustrial Terminal building, inis is
to be a large modern building with
trackage and other modern conven
ience's arranged with movable, par
titions so that any part of it can be
sublet to a number of small manu
facturing concerns, thus doing away
with the overhead expense usually
encountered by a concern occupy
ing a single building.
It is thought by Chamber of Com
merce officials that it would be an
added inducement to manufacturers
to locate plants here.
The committee will investigate
the Busch terminal building in New
York, which is handled in this way;
also a large terminal building used
by many concerns in Milwaukee.
Mr. Gillan says that both St. Louis
and Minneapolis are now 'consider
ing the construction of buildings to
be used for thij purpose.
New Jersey Holders
Must Pay Rail Fares
is Federal Ruling
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 30. The
federal railroad administration iias
decided that the state law requiring
railroads in New Jersey to furnish
passes to certain officeholders is
of no effect while Uncle 'Sam is
operating the railroads. Thus, after
January 1, 1919, certain New Jersey
citizens will either pay fare, walk,
stay at home or board in Trenton.
The governor, state senators,
members of the house of assembly,
judges of the higher courts, certain
state officers other than the execu
tives, have been entitled to these
passes, as well as most of the leg
islative employes. Each year the
legislature either added to or made
an effort to enlarge the list.
The passes, it is said, were used
throughout the year by many hold
ers, and were especially desirable to
the South Jersey resident who
spent his summers at the shore.
Many of the officials now commute
to Trenton on their passes.
English Are in Controversy
Over Raleigh's Burial Place
London, Nov. 30. Newspapers
here have been engaged in a con
troversy as to the location of the
burial place of Sir Walter Raleigh
in connection with the celebration
of the 300th anniversary of his birth.
Biographers of Raleigh supposed
that, after his execution, the body
was buried in the chancel of St.
Margaret's. The Times, however,
suggests that his body was placed
there, for a short time only and that
Raleigh really was buried at Bed
dington, in Surrey, where the
widow desired that he should rest,
Raleigh's head was embalmed and
cherished by his widow in a "red
leathern bagge" to the day of her
death. The head was afterward in
terred in the church at West Hors
ley, in Surrey.
Missouri Mules Make Good
With British Army in War
London, Nov. 30. The Missouri
mule more than made good in the
British army during the war. Large
numbers of them . were used fo-
moving the field artillery. The mule
shared in, the big British advances
on the western front this fall and
proved his grit and worth for many
days by keeping the guns right up
with the rapidly advancing artillery.
