DISCIPLINE IS
OBSERVED WHEN
r.lEN MARCH AWAY
Nebraska Soldiers Return to
Trains After Few Hours of
Reunion; Go to Capitol
: City.
Military discipline was observed
during the march of the soldiers to
the high school grounds and on the
return march to the trains at Union
depot.
If any member of the 355th or the
341st. did not get his "little tum
my" filled while at the high school
grounds, it was his own fault, be
cause there was enough and to
spare.
Thousands remained downtown
until the men marched back to the
depot and there were more cheers
and more noise during the return
march.
The leave-taking of mothers and
wives at the high school grounds
was tender, after the few hours of
reunion with the boys they have
been waiting for during these long
days.
The first of the three trains was
moved out of the Union station at
11:45 with the machine gun bat
talion, bound for Lincoln, where a
welcome celebration will be held.
The two trains bearing the 255th
infantry followed the gunners within
an hour.
From Lincoln the men of the 89th
will proceed to Camp Funston, where
they will be discharged within the
next few days, and then they will
all return to civil life.
The 355th. was organized at Camp
Funston in September, 1917. Most
of the men of this regiment were
from Nebraska during its entire
overseas service and it was known
as the "Nebraska Regiment."

Checks Show Relief
Funds Paid by Ford
to Soldiers' Families
Mt. Clements, Mich., May 30.
Counsel for the plaintiff in the $1.
000,000 libel suit of Henry Ford
against the Chicago Daily Tribune
yesterday produced in Judge Tuck
er's court cancelled checks showing
that the company had actually paid
relief funds to dependents of em
ployes who went with the national
guard to the Mexican border in
June, 1916.
Elliott G. Stevenson, of counsel
for the defendant, argued that the
rules of the department showing,
among other things, how depend
ents were cared for were inadmis
sible and contended that testimony
should concern only what the de
partment actually did in the spe
cific cases of the dependents of em
ployes absent on military duty.
Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, of
counsel for Mr. Ford, argued the
right to show a continuous policy
of Mr. Ford in caring for his em
ployes and seeking to better their
condition. The cancelled checks
showed that payments from $10 to
$15 a week to 14 families were
made. They began July 26, a month
after the guard was called out, and
continued for varying periods, some
until February, 1917.
