Last Resting Places of Boys
Who Fought Under Old

Their Friends.
Cheers for the living and flowers
for the dead will be the rule in
Omaha today. While the thousands
upon thousands who will stand along
the curb lines and cheer the boys., j
from overseas as they march
through the streets, groups of men
and women will be in the cemeteries
spreading flowers over the mounds
beneath which rest the bodies of
those men who fought under the old
flag and who have since been called
to their last bivouac.
Besides laying flowers upon the
graves of the boys who fought in
former wars, kind hands will scat
ter wreaths and garlands over
grave that symbolically will mark
the resting place of the boys, who
during the recent war laid down
their lives that the world might be
safe for democracy.
Of the Omaha boys who gave up
their lives during the late w'ar and
who now nearly all sleep on Flan

Washington. May Individ
ual Pacific coast shipbuilders opened
negotiations today with thc shipping
board looking to the replacement of

action followed the conference yes-
terday in which congressional repre
sentatives from California, Washing

mands of the eighteen yards engaged
in steel ship construction for gov
ernment work to keep their organi
zations alive.
Commissioner Ackerson acted for
the board today and Guy M. Standi,
fer, head of a Columbia river yard
at Portland, Oregon, was the first
builder heard.
Following the. meeting partici
pants said that the board and build
ers were endeavoring to get together
on a lump sum at which ships might
be obtained from the yards, but that
no agreement had been reached. Mr.
Ackerson said that the board was

HURLEY ASSIGNS

Saving in Rates to Be Made
Between Omaha and Gulf
Points by Use of Rail
Water Route.
Washington, May 29. (Special
Telegram). F. A. Hrogan, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce,
urged upon Representative Jefferis
recently the importance of obtaining
an allotment of merchant ships from
the Shipping board for the port of
New Orleans. While the ships are
not expected to ply between gulf
ports and Omaha, it is hoped that
by using the rail route to St. Louis
and the water route to New Orleans,
a great savings will be made in
freight rates between .Missouri river
and gulf terminals.
Representative Jefferis, w'ho has
been an active member of the Cham
ber of Commerce for a number of
years, realizing what might be ac
complished through such an allot
ment of ships as suggested by Mr.
Hrogan, immediately took up the
matter with Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board and the chief of op
erations. Mr. Jefferis today received a reply
to. his request for an allotment of
merchant ships for the port of New
Orleans to operate on the Missis
sippi, Chairman Hurley, 81110:15
other things, saying:
"I am pleased to advise you of
my sympathetic interest in your re
quest and to acquaint you with the
fact that the shipping board has al
ready allotted to New Orleans three
ships, the first to be assigned in
July, the'!second in August and the
third in September. In addition, two
more ships will be placed in this
trade during October and Novem
ber. "You may rest assured we will do
everything in our power to be of
help to the posts of the south and
shall assign to them the number of
ships requested to move their prod
ucts just as soon as such ships be
come available."
