10 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL', 27, 1919. BELGIAN HEROES IN OMAHA TO AID LOAN CAMPAIGN Total of $5,750,000 Sub scribed Here, or 'Nearly Two-Thirds Quota; An- . others Big Subscription. ' ... Omaha's pavements resounded yesterday beneath the tramp of 105 Belgian heroes, part of that small but courageous army which sacri lced itself before the onsweeping German hordes in the late summer of 1914 and saved the cause of the allies and civilization. . Splendid, strapping chaps are these Belgiajj soldiers and every one ofthem is a hero, a real, fighting hero. Every one of them wears dec orations. Many have the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor. Some had half a dozen medals on their breasts. All wore their trench helmets and were in full ''marching order, their ammunition belts bulging with cart ridges. They made a magnificent and inspiring sight as they marched to the music of six buglers who sounded the battle calls. The gleam ing bayonets affixed to the rifles on their shoulders added to the inspira tion of the sight of these young men who went through more than four years of gruelling fighting in a hard climate before a ruthless enemy, vastly their superior in numbers. The crowds that lined the streets cheered and applauded the heroes. Four Machine Guns. A feature, peculiar, to continental armies was the squad of four ma chine guns, each drawn by two big, specially-trained Belgian dogs. " . Heading the parade was the Om aha Victory loan committee. It starred from the Auditorium, passed through a number of streets and ended at the courthouse square where Belgians wen through ma neuvers before the program of speaking began.

The amount subscribed up to 6 o'clock last night was $5,750,000, and the ship on the "Atlantic ocean" pictured on the court house cornice . was moved ahead to a position in mid-Atlantic. ' The hope of the committee, bas ed on previous Liberty loan drives, to get 'the entire quota last week, went glimmering. But the official time for the drive throughout the country runs until May 20 and it is believed Omaha will have have sub scribed her quota before that time. The big drive with "stunts" and daily parades ended yesterday, the committee says. The solicitors will continue and employers will bring added pressure on employes to buy the notes. Another $500,000 subscription was received yesterday. This was from the Conservative Savings & Loan association. It brings, this con cern's total purchase of Liberty bonds to $2,000,000. The associa tion has arranged to sell the notes on a plan which will allow the pur chaser interest on each installment as soon as it is paid. j Helmets With Bonds.

A naval seaplane attached to the Hampton Roads base has just completed a 20-hour's flight, which it covered a distance of 1,250 miles, the Navy de partment was advised late today by the commandant at Norfolk. This distance is about two-thirds of that which the NC seaplane squadron must cover on the' proposed transatlantic flight from Newfound land. Thin i the loncrest flitrht ever made by a naval seaplane and as the craft is smaller than those which Commander John H. Towers will take overseas, naval officers be lieve its performance augurs well for the success of the transatlantic flight. The seaplane which made the flight was of the F-5 type, fitted with two Liberty motors of 400 horsepower each. 'A half gale of from 20 to 30 miles an hour was blowing throughout the voyage, but in spite of it the machine was able to maintain an average speed of more than 60 miles an hour.

Washington, April 26. The Ital ian situation in the peace negotia tions is t "clearing rapidly," accord ing to advices from Paris received today at the White House. " It was stated that the action taken by President Wilson was "indorsed everywhere." Just what develop ments were taking place was not disclosed, but it was evident that as a result of the message, the ten sion which has prevailed in admitir istration quarters for the past three days was considerably relaxed. Secretary Lane today issued a brief statement explaining, as he said, "one or two matters connected withthe Fiume situation that should not be overlooked." He said: "Fiume was not to be given to Italy by theNsecret treaty made on Italy's entrance into the war, called the London treaty. Under this treaty Fiume was to go to Croatia, which is now a part of Jugo-Slavia. i-And this Is where' President Wilson wishes it to go now. Question of Judgment. ' "The question of giving Fiume to Italy thus becomes a question of good judgment, and President Wil son and Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau unitedly concluded that to give Fiume to Italy would be un just to the new republics east ot the Adriatic, as Fiume is the only port on the eastern side of the Ad riatic which can be serviceable as a sea entrance to Jugoslavia and ad joining countries. "The .Italian claim isxbased on Italian desire, not on any right Other than W claim that as its people are Italians they should become a part of Italy as they were 100 years ago.. But to gratify this desire now would be manifestly to wrong others and thus maintcin a sore spot on the Adriatic which would cause con stant irritation. Italy, with Venice and Trieste, can live happily nd independently without Fiume, while the young republics on the east of the Adriatic could not have a free life without access directly to., the Id by water." wor Secretary of the Navy Dines With Belgian King Brussels, April 26. King Albert received in special aud'ynce, Wed-j nesday, Josephus Daniels, American secretary of the navy, and afterward gave a luncheon in his honor at the capitol. .

A patient remarked to me the other day, "Doctor, I want the cheapest set of teeth you , make, I, must ECONOMIZE.", ' I showed that patient a model of our very best alu minum plates, and explained to her that) that was the CHEAPEST piece of work she could buy.' While her circumstances made it necessary for her ,to "compromise" with a first-class rubber plate the point I wished to make appealed to her and I repeat the incident in the hope that others will also learn the les son that the BEST is always the cheapest. ' ' Moderate prices ( often half that what other high priced dentists charge)has been a rule in this office and I do not mean that the Best must necessarily be the HIGHEST PRICED ye it is better by far to pay a GOOD dentist too much than pay a poor one anything. Quality of material and skillful workmanship, nec essarily imply that the "cost" will be a little more at 1 first but it also means the "final cost" will be much less. - People will forget the fact that a satisfactory piece of work cost a few dollars more much sooner than they will forget an unsatisfactory piece of work that they secured "cheaply." The quality of workdone in this office will never deteriorate rthe price may change if "cost of produc tion" makes it necessary, but not otherwise, f Be assured that here you are getting just as good dentistry as your money will buy ANYWHERE, and, almost invariably, for less than you would pay else where for work at all comparable.
