AMBULANCE CO.
NO. 335 TO ARRIVE
IN U. S. NEXT WEEK
t
Parade and Public Reception
Planned for "Omaha's
Own;" to Be Mustered
Out At Camp Dodge.
Ambulance company No. 335, cpm
posed almost entirely of Omaha
men, will be in Omaha"probably next
week, according to a wireless dis
patch received yesterday by Gould
Dietz, one of the. organizers of the
company. The dispatch was sent
from the United States steamer Von
Steuben, via naval radio, and is as
follows:
"Gould Dietz, Omaha, Neb.:
Easter greetings, ambulance coni
........ tit .v,u 1 1;. XT.,.,
York Saturday. Captain A. L. Lin
quist." Prepares for Reception.
, Mr. Dietz sent a cordial reply to
the message. He is now busy mak
ing preparations for a big reception
to the returning men.
"The entire company is to be
brought to Camp Dodge for muster
ing put," he said. Dr. A. F. Jonas,
Dr. O. S. Hoffman and myself will
go to Camp Dodge as soon as the
company arrives there and will
make arrangements for bringing the
entire company to Omaha intact. I
expect to get a special train for the
purpose. , ' -
We will arrange a big blowout
in the Auditorium with a , parade
preceding it and a general hurrah
by the whole city. v
"These are 'Omaha's own' and
we're going to give them a rousing
welcome when they arrive."
Organized Here in 1917.
Ambulance company No. 335 was
organized in Omaha in the summer
oM917 and was sent to Camp Tay
lor, Louisville, Ky., where it re
mained for about a year, going over
sea in Auirust. 1918. "Oven there"
it was attached to the 26th and 77th
I
CLARENCE G. BADGER, direct
ing Madge Kennedy-Goldwyn
features, is one of those mod
est fellows who give no indication
of the ability they possess. Re
cently one f the extra men gave it
as his opinion that Badger "must
be a-rotten director," and when
asked why, he replied: "He don't
order anyone around; you can
only jut hear him talk, and he
ain t got no megaphone!" The re
marks were repeated to Badger,
who enjoyed them hugely.
Lloyd. Ingraham, Lewis Stone's
director, and company are back
from the northern show country,
glad to be ii the sunny southland.
Ingraham had his usual "Lloyd's
luck," as his good fortune is termed
in the profession. He says "we
went up to get a blizzard and the
blooming blizzard met us a peach
of a blizzard and we got it, tool"
Charles Ray will be called upon
to win a prize fight in his latest
picture, now in the making. He is
training hard and intends to win
because he has the best of it and
not because the director tells his
opponent to quit.
The Marion Davies picture, "Get
ting Mary Married," written by
John Emerson and Anita Loos and
directed by Allan Dwan, will be re
leased this month.

"Relations" is the title of a new
movie. There is surely ample ma-

Tank, Built for War. Refuses
'Jo Work in Peaceful Nebraska
Battle tank No. 2, which started
out from Ashland Monday morning
for a tour through the state in the
interest of the Victory loan, has
.gone "to the bad." Its itinerary has
been cancelled and, riding a flat car
of a railroad train; it is on its way
east to be junked or repaired.
;- Tank No. 2, while in" France,
fought its way through the Argonne
Forest, crossed all kinds of German
trenches and battered down forti
fications, but when it got onto the
level ground oi ieDrasKa, u was
not equal to the emergency.
Monday Tuesday and Wednes
day the tank was exhibited in Ash-
- land, Columbus, Schuyler and. Cen
tral City. Then it reached Grand Is
land where .the surface of. the
ground is as smooth and level as
' the top of a billiard table. There it
refused to perform. Expert mechan
ics were unable to discover the
difficulties under which the tank
labored. Men from the Union Pacific
' shops were called upon to diagnose
the case, but were unable to locate
the ailment Now the tank "rides" on
a flat car eastward Bound.
Seven Trains, Carrying 2,786
j Soldiers, Pass Through City
Seven trains carrying soldiers re
turning from France are passing
through Omaoa. ihe movement
consists of 2,78(4 officers and men. Of
this number 186 are destined for
Fort Russell, VVyo., and the others
for California. They are a part of
v.he 91st division.
The soldier trains began to ar-
'. rive at 5 o'clock this morning over
the Northwestern. The next train
came at 10 o'clock'and the others
followed along an hour apart, all
" going over the Union Pacific. In
Omaha stops long enough tochange
crews and ice the cars were made.
None of the men had an opportunity
of cuuiinji up town.
You have two more chances at
the Orpheum to see the show
which is headed by the musical
allegory, "The Heart of Annie
Wood," and by Bert Baker in the
one-act farce, 'Prevarication." For
the final performance this evening
the curtain is to rise at 7:50 o'clock.
Opening with tomorrow's matinee,
the show will be headed by the
musical comedy, "The Sirens." This
attraction is presented with a cast
of 14 people, with Frank Dodson,
featured as the" star. In addition
there will be six other excellent
acts, including such big-time favor
ites as Claudius and Scarlet and
Kennedy and Rooney.
"Fit. to Win" closes its stayt the
Boyd -theater with exhibitions this
afternoon and evening. This re
markable ;. film has drawn large
crowds of men all week, and its
educational value is clearly recog
nized by all.
: ."Old Lady, 31," with Effie Ellsler
in the Star role, will commence its
engagement at the Boyd theater on
Sunday -evening. This splendid
comedy by Rachel Crothers has
been a tremendous success for the
last two seasons, and comes to
Omaha with the original cast in
tact ' While it deals largely with
the- people who inhabit an old
ladies' home, it is by no means de
voted to them. -On the contrary, it
carries the breath of youth, of love
and sunshine, with just lots of good
fun furnished by a galaxy of. in
teresting characters.
1 The attention given to every de
tail in "Mickey" featuring Mabel
Normarid, now being shown at 1 the
Brandeis theater is brought out by
"where, why and how" of . Minnie
Ha Ha, Mickey's foster mother.
Long ago Minpfe slipped away from
her Oklahoma teepee to see a pic
ture show. Later Minnie went to
Los Angeles and into pictures at the
instigation of the Miller 101 ranch
people, and one day, on "location"
came face to face with Miss Nor
mand. Long since they had ex
changed photographs; Mable in her
most shimmering summery dress,
Minnie in her brightest blanket and
oldest corn cob. Recognition was
instant, and for half an hour direct
ors stormed and stamped without
avail.
Klaw & Erlanger will bring to the
Brandeis the last half of next week
their musical comedy success, "The
Riviera Girl." The cast will include
Miss Grace Walsh, J. Clarence Har
vey, Miss Sylvia de Frankie, Henry
Mowbray, W. Romaine, Royden
Keith, Nelson Riley, Miss Marjorie
Bridger, Roy Cutter and Frank Ear
rington, as well as a large and beau
tiful chorus.
Such an exhibition of dancing as
Tojetti and Bennett are presenting
at the Empress theater is seldom
witnessed. Under the caption of
"The Boy With the Sunny Smile,"
Bob Mills presents songs, talk and
piano playing. Tomorrow there will
be an entire change of program
headed by the musical comedy
"Follies of the Day" one of Menlo
Moore's girl acts.

'Corned Willie' Keeps Name
oi Omaha Before Soldier?
Boys of Eighty-Ninth Division Tell Germans Something
of Omaha and Nebraska; Urge Local Chamber of
Commerce to Take Steps to Facilitate Homecoming
"Omaha" stamped on cans of
"Corned Willie" and publicity ads
placed in leading periodicals by the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce
brought joy to the hearts of Ne
braska boys in the 89th division, sta
tioned at Echternacherbruecke,
Germany, according to a letter re
ceived from Fred C. Nelsou, Omaha
lad with the 354th ambulance com
pany of- 314th sanitary train. Nelson
made his home here with E. W. Dix
on, 2720 North 49th street.
Omaha oh "Corned Willie."
"The only thing we have seen to
remind us of home was the name
'Omaha stamped on cans of
'Corned Willie' we have consumed
since the St. Mihiel drive," he wrote.
"At Andilly I picked up a tattered
World's Work magazine and opened
it haphazard. Well now it was like
meeting an old friend when my eye
fell upon the words "Open an office
in Omaha," which stood out promi
nently on that page.
"I assure you that I would have
been delighted to follow the advice
of that ad but we still had a little
business to attend to on the Meuse
Argonne front after which we were
exiled to Germany. For some time
we had absolutely no form of amuse
ment, letters were few and far be
tween and we had terrible streaks
of homesickness. Finally the Y. M.
C. A. left us some books and maga
zines and in Leslies' Weekly of De
cember 28, I found another clipping
of Omaha,"
The division consists almost 'en
tirely of farmers and men needed
at home. It is ordered home in June.
The men ask the Camber of Com
merce to facilitate their home-coming
if possible.
Tell Germans of Omaha.
"We have accomplished the task
for which we left our homes and
loved ones and are somewhat pro
voked at being held here so long;' he
wrote. "If the Germans never heard
of Omaha and Nebraska before it
is certain that they are learning now
and Omaha and- Nebraska may well
feel proud of their representatives
as they are as true gentlemen now as
they were1 courageous soldiers dur
ing hostilities."
