HALL TURNS
REPORT OVER
TOPRINTERS
State Treasurer Takes Up
Question of Leases on Land
on Which Potash Lakes
Are Found.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. IS (Special.)
--The biennial report of State
Treasurer Hall, now in the hands of
the printer, covers some matters of
importance and does not in any
manner attempt to shield his asso
ciates on the state board who have
persisted in out-voting him on some
things he believed for the best in
terests of the state.
In speaking of the potash industry,
Mr. Hall, who contended from the
start that the mineral rights should
be let to the highest bidder and
which the state supreme court in an
opinion handed down Saturday takes
the same stand, he says:
"This report we believe should
have shown receipts of several hun
dred dollars from potash which
would have been produced from the
state sehool lands.
Willing to Bid.
"The lease holders of these lands
were ready and willing to enter com
petition, bidding for the rights to
extract these minerals. They even
urged the leasing of these rights to
the highest and best bidder in order
that the state's interests might be
fully protected and that they and
every other citizen of the state might
have a fair opportunity and the equal
right of every other to get hold of
and develop and produce potash.
1 "If this plan of equal right to all
and special privileges to none had
been followed and put into operation
we would have been producing pot
ash by the thousands of tons months
ago from state school lands and the
treasury would have received hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
credit of the temporary school fund.
But when the lease holder became
convinced that he was not to have
an equal chance with any and all
others to produce potash from the
lands upon which he already held
an agricultural lease, he went into
court and knocked the production of
potash from state school lands into
a 'cocked hat.'
Should Pass Law.
"The incoming legislature should
pass a law for the taking possession
of these valuable minerals by con
demnation proceedings the paying
of proper and adequate damages to
present lease holders and then throw
potash production open to every
body on the competitive bidding or
good faith plan."
In speaking of the financial busi
ness of the state Mr. Hall says:
"The receipts and disbursements
for the biennium were the largest
in the history of the state, a natural
consequence because the state has
been increasing in wealth and busi
ness by leaps and bounds and has
kept pace with the progress of the
times in education, better proper
ties and improvements and improv
ed methods in caring for the wards
of the state. The receipts are
shown to be $15,026,919.41, grouped
as follows:
War Tax Levy t 7.365,287.18
Lease and Interest on School
Lands and Funds, etc 1, 868,200. 25
Bonds and Land Sale Con
tracts Paid 2,000.106 61
V. S. Government 343,903.22
Department Receipts 1,341,216.70
University, Normal and Insti
tution Cash 1,847,047.7(1
Transferred 163,156.66
Total $15,026,519.41
As To Disbursements.
"The disbursements, he says, of
$15,445,849.60 reflect quite an ex
ageration of the true expense of the
state government. The temporary
school fund disbursements are not
in any sense an expense of the
state government. This is an ex-

Teuton Paper Says Yankee
Soldiers Are Goad Fellows
With the American Army of Oc
cupation, Dec. 15. (By Associated
Press.) The American troopers
were greeted as "good fellows" by
the Mayen Volks Zeitung. The
Third American army is temporarily
at Mayen, Rhenish Prussia, about
15 miles west of Coblenz.
"Mayen resembles a great army
camp," says the Volks Zeitung.
"American troops of all arms of the
service pour through the streets.
They sometimes take quarters in the
neighborhood for a day's rest on
their way to Coblenz, automobiles
of all kfnds go through the streets,
making the thoroughfares danger
ous for children.
"The troops are well behaved.
Their intercourse with the people
is correct and we willingly admit
that the Americans are good fellows."
GOULD PROVIDE
WORK FOR MANY
OVERSEAS MEN
Maupin Says Discharged Sol
diers Could Be Given Work
On Irrigation Projects;
Benefit State.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Dec. ' 15. (Special.)
"The government may easily solve
the problem of employment for the
returning soldiers, or at least those
from Nebraska," said Will Maupin
of the publicity department, the
other day. "And it can furnish the
employment without cost. There
are two big irrigation projects in
Nebraska, one under way and one
in course of construction. The Ger-i:.g-Fort
Laramie irrigation project
is already financially provided for,
the government having set aside the
necessary money and appropriating
it is needed. The first units of this
project were let to private contrac
tors, but now the reclamation ser
vice has taken over the work and
will handle it.
Operated by Electricity.
"A hydro-electric development is
being put in at the headgates near
Henry, and the drag lines will be
electrically operated. The rapid
completion of this work would not
only furnish remunerative employ
ment for hundreds of men, many of
them skilled laborers, but would
speedily open an immense area to
diversified farming.
"The proposed irrigation project
in Phelps and Kearney counties
would not only insure splendid crops
every year on a vast area but would
furnish employment for many men
for two or three years.
"These vast irrigation projects con
structed by the government would
go a long ways toward solving the
labor problem and would not cost
Uncle Sam a ceit. Every dollar
expended by the government in their
construction would be repaid by the
landowners receiving the benefits.
And what it means to the develop
ment and prosperity of Nebraska is
beyond computation.
More Money for Farmers.
"The completion of the Gering
Fort Laramie projects means three
or four more beet sugar factories
in the North Platte valley, which
would mean added millions of rev
enue for Nebraska farmers.
"These two projects have their
counterparts in many other sections
of the west. Nebraska is, or should
be, intensely interested in the plans
recently outlined by Secretary Lane
for the development of the arid
and scmiarid districts of the west."

AT THE
THEATERS
ALBERTINA RASCH and eight
young women in a repertoire
of dance numbers win first
place in this week's vaudeville pro
gram at the Orpheum. The open
ing number, a reverie, by Miss
Rasch and coryphees modestly ar
rayed in white, suggests the poetry
of motion. The toe-dancing of Miss
Rasch is a distinctive feature of the
offering and her "Rhapsodie Hon
groise," in closing, leaves no doubt
that she is a conscientious exponent
of her art.
Bayonne Whipple and Walter
Huston depart from the beaten path
in their new offering, "Shoes." The
action occurs in a women's shoe
store, with Huston as the salesman
and Miss Whipple as the customer.
Types of shoes are cleverly used to
symbolize the thought expressed in
philosophic dialogue between the
twain.
Milt Collins is back again with
his patriotic chatter in which he re
fers to Russia as a shooting gallery
and states that that country de
clared peace with its enemv and
then declared war against itself. He
asseretd that the Huns should now
have no cause for complaint in con
nection with their request that this
country should send them ammuni
tion. Jack Alfred and company offer a
meritorious acrobatic act which is
staged as if given as a rehearsal.
Lew Pistel and O. H. Cushing pre
sent "A Breath of Old-Time Min
strelsy," under the title of "The
Stranded Minstrels." Yvette and
Saranoff, youthful entertainers, play
violins, sing and dance and other
wise add to the bill. James Watts
and Rex Storey close with an amus
ing "Treat in Travesty," which is
good for what ails one.
An additional feature to the bill
is the appearance of James J. Mor
ton who appears for a few minutes
before each act and offers burlesque
announcements of what is to fol
low. The motion pictures of the
official weekly allied war review are
unusually interesting, one scene
showing General Pershing pinning
war crosses on several heroes.
Scenes in Utah are projected by the
Orpheum travel weekly.
Harvey's min'strels are back at
the Boyd, giving a bang-up enter
tainment, to the delight of the
crowds that assembled yesterdav.
The organization is well calculated
to revive all the merriment and mon
keyshines of the traditional minstrel
show, at the same time preserving
the modern notions of ragtime and
jazz, so that everybody can have
a little something as the program
rolls along. Clarence Powell and
Ed Tolliver still lead the fun-making,
each supreme in his own way.
but Frank Kirk, Joe Means and
other comedians contribute to the
laughter. Kirk's musical act is one
hard to equal, and Joe Means' sonp
about "Somebody Done Me Wrong"
brings a riot even Bert Williams
would be proud of. Little Miss
Cannon does a buck and wing dance
of the old-fashioned sort that really
is a treat in these dnvs when that
sort of footwork is seldom seen. In
the olio are a number of specialtv
acts, each worth watching, while the
singing is of high order and very
enjoyable. The engagement is for
four nights, and another matinee
will be played on Wednesday.
With all attendance records ex
celled, with a length of stay in
Omaha only equaled by "The Birth
of a Nation," D. W. Griffith's won
derful photoplay production "Hearts
of the World" is now playing its
fifth and final week at the Brandeis
theater, where it closes Saturday
night. The story contains the ele
ments of romance, comedy, pictorial
beauty, grandeur of scenes and con
ception, music and drama in the
background, after the idyllic open
ing scenes, stands always the lurid
tragedy of the world's greatest awr.
"Cycle of Mirth" is a whirl of
beautiful, youthful, singing girls as
the headline attraction at the Em
press theater. Handsome costumes
and stage settings add to he produc
tion. Elaborate dressing and stag
ing add to the specialty act of Ann
Butler and Hal Germanus who are
featured ' on tlje bill. Beautiful
Valyda under the caption, "A Song
of Surprise," offers an out of the
ordinary song number in a double
voice. Mann and Mallory have a
comedy number replete with many
unique ideas. Juggling DeLisle has
a novelty entertainment with a rou
tine of clever juggling events.

defies all restraint and makes a pic
ture of unusual charm. Amid thp
shrieking fire whistles and police
calls the novelty romance in brought
to a happy end.
There's bound to be any amount
of disappointed people walk away
from the Gayety's box office this
week as that theater is religiously
keeping its voluntary word to the
city health department that only
every other row of seats would be
sold, as a possible influenza pre
ventive. The goodness of the Bur
lesque Wonder Show will result in
over-flowing attendanc at night, so
the theater management requests
that Gayetyites assist by attending
the daily "tired shoppers" matinee
at 2:15.

CALDWELL ASKS
SUPPORT FOR EED
CROSSWORKERS
Vice Chairman Tells of the
Way Local Chapter is Car
ing for Boys Back From
Cantonments.
Vice Chairman S. S. Caldwell, in
making announcement of the Christ
mas Red Cross membership drive
which starts today, tells of the work
done by the local chapter and which
must be continued. Here is Mr
Caldwell's statement:
"The Omaha chapter looked after
1,800 families of dependent soldiers
last year. This work will go on till
all the American troops have return
ed and the men are self-supporting
"The boys are passing through
every day from the cantonments to
engage in civil occupations. They
did not go to France, God knows
that they were willing and the dis
appointment is a grevious thing to
bear. They are worried about what
they are going to do and dread
starting life all over again. b
Meets All Soldiers.
"The Red Cross meets the soldiers
at the depot. They are given a warm
meal in the restaurant. They are
cheered with human companionship
in the rest room, their wants are
looked after. This work must con
tinue on a constantly increasing
scale. Car after car of wounded men
are coming through Omaha on their
way to reconstruction hospitals in
Colorado and California. The train
rolls in silently. The boys, tired and
nervous with suffering, creep out
They are despondent dreading the
weary months of convalescence. The
Red Cross canteen workers welcome
them. Six beds wait in the Red Cross
rest room as neat as in any hos
pital. The sick are taken out some
times on stretchers, bathed and fed
and their beds on the train remade
with clean sheets. The soldiers who
are able to travel when the time per
mits are escorted uptown by auto
mobiles, given a good meal in a
clown town hotel and taken to the
best show the town affords. This
work is paid by the Red Cross. Boys
who arrive sick and despondent go
out with a cheer and a shout. They
feel that the country appreciates
their sacrifice and that they are not
forgotten. This is the spirit of the
Red Cross.
A few local reasons why we should
answer the Red Cross Roll Call.
"We owe it to ourselves who staid
home.
"We owe it to the fathers and
mothers who have boys in service.
"We owe it to the soldier who
stood ready to give his life for an
ideal whether he sailed to France or
toiled to fit himself for service in
this country.
"We owe it to the one thousand
Omaha boys who died that our
country might live honored and re
spected by all free people."

"THEY GIVE ALL
AND ASK ONLY A
DOLLAROF YOU"
Sergeant Tatton of "Black
Watch" Regiment Tells
What Red Cross Did
for Him.
"They sacrifice their health, fu
ture, their all yes their very lives
for the sick, wounded and needyj;
in view of these facts, can any per
son refuse to give a dollar?" Thus
spoke Sergeant R. R. Tatton of the
Scottish Canadian Royal Highland
e lore commonly known as the
"Black' Watch," when asked what
the Red Cross did for the boys
'over there'.
"No man can ever express in
words what the Red Cross means to
him when he is sick or wounded and
one of these Angels of Mercy conies
to him to relieve him of suffering,
continued Sergeant Patton.
I was picked up by a Red Cross
nurse on a battlefield near Rheims
and carried to a dug-out. While
she was administnng to my wounds,
the firing became so heavy that an
army surgeon ordered her to leave.
ihe said, When they take the
wounded, I will go. If they must
stay here, it is my duty to stay as
long as I have life and am able to
do anything for them."
Wounded Five Times.
Sergeant Tatton wears five chev-
tons, which signify that he has been
wounded five times.
He is one of the twelve survivors
of the Black Watch regiment, which
had an enrollment of 1,200 men.
Tatton had four brothers, four
uncles and three cousins, who en
listed and all have been killed in
action, he alone surviving.
He says that the work of the Red
Cross is just commencing as the
