Robert Lcav- . eni were elected directors. ' Judge Miller of the juvenile court told member of the help they had - been to him in his work, and also announced that plans were being worked out for a more rigid enforce- i ment of the curfew law, which has v ' been badly hampered during the last year on account of the changing of the hour by the daylight saving , p!an. He said that plans would be announced later. Club Building Plans. Dr. Jennie Callfas, president of the association, said that just as soon as labor conditions and the restrictions on building material permitted, work would be started on the girls' club building on the ground purchased by the association at Twenty-second and Jones streets. The club is to be modern in every wav, with sewing ' rooms, gymnasium, shower baths, a stage for amateur theatricals and other features of entertainment. The building is planned to accommodate -, 200 girls-and provides for additional space when required. Dr. Callfas ' also told of tfie work the society has doife for girls coming to the city "during the last year, either provid ing, them with suitable living condi- ; tions or persuading them to return home. ' Club Should Be Restricted. W, W. Rradley, who for seven years has been connected with the Humane society in Minneapolis, and who came to Omaha recently to take charge of that work here, told of his experience in connection with the work done in Minneapolis in pro viding a home for working girls. Mr. Bradley said that the girls' club should be particularly for girls work- Jng for small salaries and who could not afford the better things, rather than the girl who was earning suf ficient money to live comfortably ilsewhere. ' Rev. Denton L. Cleveland also ad dressed the members on the neces sity of providing a girls' home at the earliest possible date, and told of work he has already done during the last year in helping needy girls in finding proper home surroundings.

Here stosv of Lt. E. V. Isaacs United States navy, watch officer of the American transport President Lincoln when that vessel was tor pedoed in the Atlantic on May 31 last. He was captured by the Ger man submarine which sunk the ship. When off the Scandinavian coast he attempted to swim ashore but was caught. On his way to a prison camp in Germany he jumped from a train, but was recaptured. He es caped from the prison and swam across the Rhine river to safety in S itzerland. The story has been told briefly in the Associated Press dispatches, but its details are so filled with the spirit of adventure as to be well worth the telling. Is Iowa Man. When the President Lincoln went to the bottom of the ocean Lieu tenant Isaacs, who is from Cresco, la., climbed upon a raft. Soon aft erward the submarine emerged and its commander demanded the cap tain of the President-Lincoln as prisoner. The survivors told him they believed the captain had gone down with the ship, not that they were aware of that, but to save, if possible, the captain being taken prisoner. While this was going on Lieu tenant Isaacs said, he lay on thi raft with his arms under him to hide the officer's stripes on his uniform, but without success, and he was ordered aboard the submarine. It was the U-90 and its commander, Captain Remy, had resided in the United States and England and spoke Eng lish fluently. "Apparently Remy had been af fected by our civilization," said the lieutenant, "as he treated me pleas antly while inquiring as to the whereabouts of the skipper of the Lincoln. I was told that I would tell him where he could find our captain or go to Germany myself as a prisoner. I could not conform to his first command and of course would not have had I been able to." Four Meals Daily. The young officer said that he was given a good bunk on the submarine and four good meals daily including meat, eggs and real coffee. The fol lowing day as the submarine was cruising about seeking new victims it was sighted by two American de stroyers. "While the destroyers were plunging toward us we were getting under water as rapidly as possille and finally stopped at a depth of 60 meters," Lieutenant Isaacs said. "When the depth bombs began ex ploding every German was at Lis station tense and pretty badly scared. Now and then a junior of ficer would sing out to the captain that a destroyer was. about so far away to starboard or port as the case might have been. They were recording the positions with their listening devices. Then would come a depth charge. It is difficult to describe just the sensation, but it seemed to me much like a dog shaking a rat and iLwas anything but pleasant to be in the rat. With each explosion a look of horror would flash over the faces of the Germans, for they expected every moment that one of the charj. would be fired a bit closer and they knew their craft could not with stand it." Heads for Kiel. ;, , Too many destroyers were in that area for comfort, so Remy headed for the Kiel canal the next night. When off the Scandinavian coast Lieutenant Isaacs said he decided to attempt to swim to shore when the submarine approSched territorial wa ters. With his lifebelt on, he was just slipping over the side shortly after midnight when he was dis covered by Remy himself and pulled aboard. On arrival at Wilhelmshaven he was kept three days on a submarine "mother" ship and three days in a land prison, carefully guarded and badly fed. During this time he was taken to the German battleship Kaiser Wilhelm II, the flagship of the fleet, and questioned by a staff officer. "I finally told him that the United States would send so many metv to France that the battle lines wouldn't hold them," said the lieutenant. "I was then taken to Karlsruhe and placed in a hotel room by myself the first day. The next day I was put into another room with eight French officers, it having been learned in the meantime that I spoke French. These rooms I afterward learned were known as the "listen ing rooms." and they were rightly named. The Frenchmen and I found three dictaphones and destroyW them. The next day I was placed in a room with three British officers and there were dictaphones in that room." After a few days at Karlsruhe, the lieutenant was started for s pre liminary distributing camp at Vil lingen, Baden. In the railway car riage with him were two guards. He was unaware of conditions at tl e Villingen camp, and decided to try to get away from the train if the slightest opportunity came. "One of the guards seemed to be dozing vhile the other was interest ed in something out the other side of the carriage, when I dove through the carriage window," th officer said. "The train was moving more rapidly that I believed, for I re ceived an awful bump on the head and both of my knees were cut on the iron ties of the parallel track. "I scrambled into the brush as best I could. Very soon bul' ts were whistling about me as the train had been stopped and guards were on my trail. I could not make speed in the condition I was in, so to save my life I held Uu my hands in token of surrender when ' i guards" were about 75 yards away. Beaten and Kicked. "When they came up to me one of them welcomed me with a blow with his rifle. I was beaten and kicked and knocked down seven or eight times before they finally loaded me back into, the train. "Arriving at the camp I was swathed in paper bandages they have very little cloth in Germany you know. Had it not been for food supplied by the Red Cross I'm sure I would have starved to death, but with that we fared very well and within a month I had regained my strength. There were about 150 Russian orhcers and o American ot ficers in the camp." Lieutenant Isaacs and other offi cers immediately began to lay plans to: escape by collecting necessary articles, such as pieces of wire and ro e and short boards with which to make a ladder if necessary. They also traded some of their food to a Russian for a pair of wire cutters be had smuggled into the camp. Three different times they had their escape plans completed, each time with the connivance of a Russian, and each time they" had reason to believe the Germans had been ; t) praised and they did not try. Make Escape Plans. "Finally we learned that they were to take all the Russians away on October 7, and, working without the Russians, we planned to try ag:.in on the night of October 6. Fifteen feet from our barred windows was a high barbed wire fence which turned inward at the top much the same as at our internment camps in the states. Between the fence and our window was a ditch seven feet wide filled with scrapped barbed wire. We had almost severed the bars of the window in the room in which I was imprisoned, using an improvised saw one of the officers had obtained from a Russian. 'Two other officers with me were to use two tennis court markers, 18 feet long, as a bridge from our win dow to the top of the barbed-wire fence. The wooden markers which we calculated would barely hold us when strapped together, were to be brought into our room after the roll-1 call at night. "We figured that soon after the attempt the guards would be at tractedifrom the main gate, so three onicers eiectet to try a oasn mere at the proper moment. Three others were to attempt to get through the fence with the wir cutters, wlil'e two others planned to get over. We had fixed the electric light wires so that we could quickly short circuit them. This was to be done exactly at 10:30 o'clock, wlert every man was to be ready to go. A Risky Trip. "I will tell the name of only one of the officers, as I do not know the fate of the others. He was Corp. B. Willis of Boston, a member of the Lafayette Escadrille. He was one of those who were to dash through the gate, and he and I had a rendezvous two miles from camp. "When the lights were extinguish ed by the short circuiting, we forced the bars as quietly as possi ble, and ran out the two markers strapped together, and darkened with shoe blacking as much as pos sible in the short time we had. There as no moon but the sky was clear. "One of the window bars stuck, and we made considerable noise forcing it, but it didn't. take us long to start the risky trip to the top of the fence. I got outside all right, but there were guards both to my right and left. There were no pro tecting trees, so I ran as fast as I could with bullets whistling about me. "I met Willis at the rendezvous and we set out southwest. We traveled at night, slept in the day and lived on raw vegetables we took trom gardens. At last we reacned the Rhine at a point . between Schaffhausen and Basle. Rhine Banks Guarded. "We found that at .every place where we might approach the bank it was thoroughly guarded. We de cided then to rind a creek if possi ble and wade down it until we struck the Rhine. The current in the one we found was very swift and the water cold. Willis had just taken off most-his clothes for the plunge into the Rhine, when he was swept away by the current which at that point moved about 12 kilo meters an hour". "It was an awful trip in the cold water with eddies swishing me around, and at one tin - I turned on my back to float as long as possible. It seemed that it was impossible to bring , that bank any closer with my waning strength. Finally I was fortunate enough to be caught in an eddy that swept me to the shore. 'When able to walk. I found a farm house and was warmly well comed by the Swiss peasants. I told them of Willis and asked theai to .send someone down the bank to look for him. A short distance dovvn the road the peasant jmet one of hTs neighbors who had come to look for me. Willis had landed much the same as I had, was treat ed as I had been by another peasant and had sent a messenger for me just as I had for him. Willis weat to France and I assume has joined his command by this time." Al Hall and Bob Barry Head Excellent. Bill Now Playing at Gayety Al K. Hall and Bobby Barry, two great burlesque favorites, kept con tinual mirth and . merriment ruling over the two big audiences which saw the opening performances -of "Maids of America" at the Gayety yesterday. Appearing in a variety of misfit costumes, the pair have a style of humor that is all their own. The show is above the average. Costumes are stunning and the scenery is unique and plentiful for the eight scenes of the show. Mae Stanley is a charming prin cipal with an excellent voice. Flor ence Rother and Jane May add to the long program of melodious songs well sung." , Fields, Keene and Walsh put on a specialty which was received with immense enthusiasm. Heavens in December By WILLIAM F. RIGGE. During this month the days have their shortest jength, from 9 hours 24 minutes on the 1st to 9 hours 10 minutes from the 15th to the 31st, so that the variation is less than a quarter of an hour. Taking seconds into account, the shortest day of the year is December 22. On that day at 9:42 a. m. the sun enters Capricorn, reaches its far thest south and winter begins. The earliest sunsets, 4:53, occur from the J th to the 12th, but the latest sun rise does not come until January 3. The sun is 11 minutes fast on the 1st, on time on the 25th, and 3 min utes slow on the 31st on Omaha time, but from 13 to 28 minutes slow' on central time, as may be seen trom the noon column. The winter constellations with their brilliant stars, are coming into better view in the early part of the t.ight. But city lights make the best of them hard to see. Jupiter, the brightest of the planets, is also in good position in the eastern sky in the early evening, and is contin ually rising higher every night. Sa turn rises on the ISth at 10:03 p. m., but Venus and Mars are too near the sun to ire seen. The rrtoon is in conjunction with Jupiter on the istn and with barurn on the 22d. To Enlarge Delegation.
