Battle scarred, dusty, travel-stained war veterans, the 355 infantry, Ne braska's "fighting farmers," of the "middlewcst," 89tli division, ar rived in Omaha at 10:05 o'clock yesterday morning. Heroes of battle after battle, skirmish after skirmish, attack after attack, without so much as a rest during their 98 days on the battle front in Toul, St. Mihiel and the Argonne, these veterans returned modestly denying their fame. No Individual Stars. "We haven't any stars," Major T. R. Campbell, second in command of the regiment, said when asked for names of a few who had garnered exceptional achievements at the front. "They are fighters just 'fighting fanners' and we are proud of them." Such is the commanding officer's tribute to his men men who had won decoration after decoration who time on time had risked their lives in battle going so far as to refuse in three instances to evacuate the line in critical moments when relief was waiting.

Fischer of St. Louis," the colonel continued. "At the attack before Bois de Bethan ville, Captain Fischer, then in com mand of the second battalion, found himself facing a wood strongly forti fied by the enemy possession of which was vital to the American ad vance planned for the folowing day. "Without assistance from head quarters and without so much as a map of the territory in question, Captain Fischer rallied his weakened forces and facing a smothering gas barrage of the enemy charged the hill. He carried the hill though captured. "Later at Saarbaugh, Germany, we learned from German officers that he had died in a German hos pital from wounds received in the attack. The story remains as one of the regiment's traditions of valor." First Death at Toul. Company M, Third battalion, held the divisional standard for excel lence in military dicipline during the division's stay overseas. Lee Hampton of Lincoln, a priv ate, relates the story of the first deaths by shell fire in the brigade. "A large shell burst in the center of a squad in the advance on Flirey in the Toul sector. Ten men were killed instantly and two wounded. I and my buddie were the only ones to come away alive." Company I reports greatest cas ualties. Gas Armistice Day. Sneezing gas and a lone shell was the last thing the Germans sent over on the morning the armistice was signed. Corp. E. Engers of Texas, recently a Nebraska boy, tells the story. "We had safely crossed the Meuse and our advance patrols had come in contact with German outpost be fore Stenay and Pouilly on the Ger man side of the river. Marines of the Fifth regiment, Second division, were operating to the north in lais son with the 89th boys. Resting on Ground "Our battalion, the Third, was lined up resting in line of combat on the eround before Pouilly. We had made preparations for a grand attack and were about to carry it out. "All of a sudden there was an in tense silence. "Then after a few minutes it must have been 5 minutes to 11 o'clock, the hour the armistice took effect a large shell burst 100 yards from where my squad lay in a shell hole. A singe of sneezing gas floated across the ravine. Germans Dance On Hill. "The next thing I knew soldiers all about were standing up and yelling and raising their hands. The word had been passed. We could see a few Germans having a dance or. the hillside not far away. One thing we were disappointed in not being able to take that town. It was ours and we should of had it." So the 89th record ended. To the French it is known as the "galloping eighty-ninth," but to the folks back home the division is sim ply the "fighting farmers" and al ways will be. Soldiers on the train this morning said they were in en tire accord with the title. Wright Real Fighter. Another story by the colonel is told of the division's commander, Gen. William M. Wright. General Wright assumed command in the place of Brigadier General Winn, who had brought the troops across the Atlantic and stayed with them during their entire fighting period on the battle fronts at Toul, St. Mihiel and the Argonne. In the attack in the Argonne in the Bois de Bathanville sector, the general had orders to await relief. The general is quoted as sending to the rear the message: "Tell 'em we're doing all right. These boys are taking this fight stuff first rate. Let 'em alone." General Wright, more than any other commander, gained the love of his men. He was one of the few generals on tlie battle front who for ever was "sticking his nose in a trench" or an outpost. "He had to be censured now and then or the division would have lost a comman der," Major Campbell said. Hooper Boy Cited. Private Henry Goettsche of Hooper, Neb., is perhaps the best loved of all comrades in the regi ment. He is a member of Com pany L. On the night of November 10 the Meuse was crossed a little south of Stenay on the American side of the river. A detail of six men under Lieutenant Yardmouth was des patched across the river as a patrol to meet and anticipate any German counter move. Rescues Commander. It was a cold night and the water was icy cold. The detail to a man jumped into the river with full bat tle equipment on and attempted the swim. Lieutenant Yardmouth lost strength in the swift current a iittle more than half way across and had it not been for the powerful arms of Private Goettsche would have gone down. The entire detail reached the op posite bank without mishap and started at once on a searcch for the German positions. A large German patrol was met and overcome. Sev eral Germans were killed and more than 30 prisoners taken while a strong attacking point on the town of Stenay was obtained. For this Goettsche was mentioned in orders, later cited and is now awaiting decoration. Wagoner Alfred E. Simpson, of Omaha has an interesting ring made made from a French two franc piece that he wouldn't part with for all the money in the United States. His buddy, Jack Garrett, of Arizona, also a wagoner gave it to him on his death stand when a large shell fell amidst the supply wagon train on the way to the Argonne front near Beney, September 15. Appropriation for Employment Service Eliminated in House Washington, May 30. Appropria tion of $272,000 for continuance of the operations of the United States employment service until next July, was eliminated from the general de ficiency bill as passed by the house yesterday through a parliamentary move by Representative Blanton, democrat, of Texas.

At a similar meeting held last week at Madison Square Garden, New York, fully 400,000 people were turned away after the vast audi torium was filled to capacity, so that overflow meetings were held in the streets. At that meeting Charles Evans Hughes, former justice of the United States supreme court spoke as follows: "When I heard these tales of ter rible wrongs and suffering in Poland they seemed to me well nigh in credible. I asked to have an oppor tunity of looking at the report, at the authenticated statements that had been received which could give support to the rumors that had reached us.

We're Proud of You We publicly stated from the stage, and also in our ads that Mary Pickford IN Daddy Longlegs would play to more peo ple than any picture ever did in Omaha. Despite the first hot weather, which always means decreased theater attendance, we can truth fully say (and back up by affidavit, if neces sary) that this picture played to more people in one week in Omaha than any other ever did. Now, do you want to know why we're so proud of you? It's because we predicted in advance that the people of this city preferred a good, clean, wholesome little comedy love story of this caliber to all the racy, sensa tional, sex or nude pic tures that could be booked. We don't want any reader to get the impression that we arc referring to any picture in particular, or that the majority of pictures pro duced today are of the caliber stated above, but when the producers see features like "Daddy Longlegs" sweeping the country by storm from coast to coast, it's only a natural conclusion that more of these kind of stories will be forthcom ing, because the pro ducers simply try to give the public what they be lieve it wants. We didn't put out a very big advertising cam paign behind "Daddy Longlegs," we simply told you that to our minds "It was the best picture of the year," and you took our word and came and saw. Nor do we claim that everyone who saw this picture was of the same opinion as ourselves, but WE DO CLAIM THE MAJORITY OF OUR PATRONS WERE OF.. THIS SAME IMPRES SION, BECAUSE BUSI NESS HAS INCREASED EVERY DAY. In conclusion, we want to publicly thank the fond mothers and beam ing fathers of the hun dreds of smiling baby beauties who graced our ' baby contest this week, and to tell them con fidentially that we don't think the prizes were awarded fairly we be lieve every little girlie and every little man should have won first prize, because never have we beheld such a glitter ing array of feminine and masculine juvenile loveli ness as our baby contest ants. We also want to thank the Brandeis Stores for the wonderful co-operation theygaveus in this contest; the newspap'ers for the amount of pub 1 i c i t y ; Photographer , Skoglund for the beauti ful photos he so pains takingly took, and the good people of Omaha for the way they ap plauded, until the palms of their hands burned trying to pick the win ners. Today at 3 p. m. the final contest takes place that of all the prize winning babies for the sil ver loving cup, while to day winds up the most successful week this theater has ever had, and begins our second year. 1
