Omaha Broker, Now in France,
Gives Tips to Victory
- Drive Workers; Tells
of "Y" Work.
A letter telling of the great task
which confronted the Y. M. C. A.
in France was recently received
from N. II. Nelson, member of N.
II. Nelson & Co.. local bankers,
who has been in France for some
y.linie acting as traveling auditor,
purchasing agent and recruiting offi
cer. Mr. Nelson's letter, mailed at
Dijon, Cote d'Or, reads in part;
"I sincerely hope the people in
the States will some day realize
what the Y. M. C. A. has really done
for the army in this war. While it
is true that many mistakes have
been made, at no time have they
.had enough personnel to put the
'work over according to plans, and,
unfortunately, many of the men who
cante highly recommended proved
'totalW unfitted for the tasks required
of them and arc a detrimeut instead
of an asset.
."Transportation is still a serious
problem ; supplies are hauled by
auto trucks from base warehouses
to wherever the 'Y' huts are located,
and a single division may have1 as
many as 35 huts, and personnel of
St) to till secretaries.
' understand that there are many
complaints from soldiers returning
to the States and in some cases they
are perhaps justified, being some of
those the 'Y' found it impossible to
reach, but it is absolutely unjust to
.condemn the whole 'Y' in any way,
as they have performed a tremen
dous work in face of the most diffi
cult obstacles, and only those who
have been through it and put all
there was into them into the work
know the difficulties, the guilding
spirits have been up against in their
earnest endeavor to render service
to the hoys in the field.
"I assisted at the central hut here
in Dijon on Christmas day and
helped to serve between 1,000 and
1,500 boys. While this may not
seem much, it meant an expenditure
of over a million dollars to the 'Y,'
and the boys surely appreciated it,
as it was at least a reminder of the
good old Christmas at home, and
brought to their minds the dear
ones awaiting their return, which
helps to make better men out of
them.
Prospects for V. Loan.
"I presume that the fifth Liberty
loan will be forthcoming in the near
future. Have several good pros
pects that should not be overlooked.
Prospects can always be located by
signs, so don't forget to have a
strong committee (would suggest
Brothers Trimble, Bingham, Cole
and Gilinsgy) get in touch with our
friend King'Alfonso for a $100 bond,
for since "Bill" moved out of Ger
many Spain has become a most lov
ing and sincere pro-ally, and we
should not fail to show our appre
ciation of so commendable a change
of heart. There are also other neu
trals who helped to prolong the war
by feeding the Huns that might also
prove good prospects at this time.
"The plan of a League of Nations
now being offered at the door of the
world - is the greatest legislative
measure which has ever "been offered
to humanity since the time that
Adam was tempted by Eve. Amer
ica can be proud of the part she
has played. On her banners were
written the words, "Democracy for
the World." It was this high ideal
alone that sent two millions of the
finest soldiers that ever trod a bat
tlefield. They came as triisadns
to fight for a cause, not for the
sake of booty, not for the sake of
territory or for the gold or crowos
of defeated kings. Against the armv
fighting for such high ideals, the
Hun legions melted away discou;
aged, defeated. 1
"I have just received instructions
from Paris to get ready 'tout de
suite' to go to Coblenz, Germany,
on some special work.' This wi'l
give me a splendid opportunity tJ
study the German in his heme."
Pershing Fought His First
"War" on Nebraska's Plains
Commander-in-Chief of American Overseas Forces as
Lieutenant Was Assigned as Commandant of Univer
sity of Nebraska's Cadet Battalion in 1892.
Gen. John J. Pershing, Ameri
ca's strategic director in the world's
war, fought his first battles on the
plains of Nebraska when he was
commandant of the University of
Nebraska's cadet battalion in 1892.
Many business and professional men
who were members of the battalion
at that time remember Pershing as
the man that transformed their or
ganization into one of the best in
the country.
When as a lieutenant assigned as
military instructor, Pershing came
to the university and found the bat
talion to be an organization in
name only, in the face of the pacifist
spirit of the. institution and the lack
of support ' from the faculty, he
transformed it into one of the best
drilled cadet units in the country.
After only a year at the school
Pershing was able to enter a picked
company in the national competi
tive drills held in Omaha to com
pete with cadet units from all over
the country.
In the "Grand National" drill the
Nebraskans failed to win first place
merely because they were first to go
through thir maneuvers, it is con
ceded. In the Maiden drill, how
ever, Pershing's men carried off first
honors, $1,500 cash in prize money
and the Omaha prize. The "Sombre
ro," the school annual, attributes the
success of the cadets directly to
Lieutenant Pershing's disciplinary
ability.
Ex-Governor Tad Sheldon, Col.
Bill Hayward ;.nd many other corn
huskers who have achieved public
renown were cadets under Pershing.
Dr. H. A. Senter, dean of the Cen
tral High school faculty, was ser
geant major and later first lieuten
ant and adjutant under Lieutenant
Pershing. He recalls an order issued
by his commandant that all mem
bers of the "Pershing Rifles," a

name, together with several other
cadets who refused to remove their
facial adornments, was dropped
from the company roll without com
ment. Breeches for Service Stripes.
Lieutenant Pershing's assignment
as military instructor expired after
three years and he was transferred
to active service rounding up In
dians. The cadets were at a loss as
to what mark of appreciation of his
; services would be appropriate. "Bill
j Hayward, then a cadet, now colonel
i of a famous fighting regiment,
i hit on the idea of asking Lieu
tenant Pershing for a pair of his
breeches to he cut into bands and
used as service stripes. The yellow
cavalry stripe was to serve as a
special badge of honor. Lieutenant
Pershing was deeply moved by the
request and gave his best pair of
breeches for the purpose. In addi
tion he was presented with a gold
mounted sabre, the gift of .Company
A. The service stripes cut from Per
shing's pants were the first to be
worn by a member of a military organization.
