NEBRASKA BOYS
TAKE LUNCHEON
AT STATE HOUSE
Units of 89th Division, En
Route to Funston, Parade
in Lincoln and Are
Royally Received.
Lincoln, Neb., May 30. (Special
Telegram.) Not since the day when
Nebraska celebrated its half century
birthday two years ago has there
been such a crowd in Lincoln as
ranie to welcome back the boys of
the 89th division from overseas, in
cluding the 341st machine gun bat
talion and portions of the 355th in
fantry. The first section, the machine gun
battalion, arrived about 4 o'clock and
marched up the principal street of
the city and then switched south on
Fifteenth street to the state house
grounds, where a crowd had been
waiting.
The parade was reviewed by Gov
ernor McKelvie and other state and
city officials at a stand erected at
Fourteenth and O streets. Fre
quently some woman would locate
her son among the marching sol
diers, break through the line and
rush into his arms, marching along
with him the rest of the way.
At the state house grounds the
soldiers were each given a box con
taining chicken sandwiches, eggs,
doughnuts, pie and coffee, all home
made, even the eggs.
The other detachments arrived
aoout 0 and o clock and went over
the same line of march and were
fed at the state house grounds as
their comrades had been. After
resting a couple of hours they con
tinued their journey to Funston.
Word came to Lincoln just before
the trooRs arrived that one of the
boys, Eugene Hoffman, was wanted
at his home in Hastings, his mother
being in a dying condition. Gov
ernor McKelvie at once took up
the matter of obtaining a short leave
of absence for him in order to send
the boy home.
Veteran Fighters of
War Do Honor to
Their Soldier Dead
Lincoln, May 30. (Special Tele
gram.) This city spent the fore
noon and the early part of the after
noon in doing honor to the heroes
of 61st and 65th, with appropriate
ceremonies at the cemetery east of
the city and later with a meeting
at one of the churches, where E. C.
Kemble, division patriotic instructor
Sons of Veterans; Colonel Gaeberly,
Spanish-American war veteran, and
Rev. H. H. Harmon, who saw serv
ice in Y. M. C. A. work in France,
were the speakers.
A parade formed at Grand Army
headquarters and the old veterans,
escorted by the Sons of Veterans,
followed by the auxiliary orders and
Spanish-American war veterans, and
headed by the Grand Army drum
corps, marched a few blocks to wait
ing automobiles, which conveyed
them to the cemetery.

General Smuts, Favored by
Wilson, May Be Ambassador
British Army Man Assisted In Formulating League of
Nations; History Compares With Alexander Ham
ilton's Herbert Asquith and Duke of Devonshire
Mentioned.
By JUSTIN M'GRATH
Washington, May 30. According
to cable information, the duke of
Devonshire and Gen. Jans Christian
Smuts, ar$ among these now men
tioned as possible appointees for
ambassador to Washington.
Ten days or so ago we were in
formed that Herbert Asquith, Lloyd
George's predecessor as premier,
was the probable selection.
Mr. Asquith, General Smuts and
the duke of Devonshire are among
the most formidable figures in the
British empire. Evidently Great
Britain intends to give greater dis
tinction to its embassy in the United
States in the future than to any of
the British embassies in Europe.
Wilson Admires Smuts
The selection of General Smuts
undoubtedly would be most agree
able to President Wilson. The pres
ident has a great admiration for
General Smuts.
It was General Smuts who
evolved the most practical plan for
a league of nations. His book on
the subject was carefully read by
President Wilson who expressed
great admiration for its analytical
power, its logical reasoning, its
breadth of vision and its clarity of
expression. In drawing up the
covenant, President Wilson confer
red with General Smuts and accept
ed most of his propositions.
Comparisons between the coven
ant and General Smuts' book will
show that most of the essential ideas
of the covenant were those con
ceived and put forward with elab
orate reasoning by General Smuts.
Follow Smuts' Ideas.
Before the covenant was made
public in Paris, I had heard from the
highest authority that it was to fol
low closely the ideas of General
Smuts.
I bought General Smuts' book and
made a study of it. No presentation
in the case for the league of nations
has been made by anyone that
equals it in the cleverness and force
fulness and its reasoning. It re
minded me of the papers of. "The
Federalist."
"The Federalist" papers as is well
known to every reading American,
were the production largely of Alex
ander Hamilton. It was these papers
more than any other influence which
brought about the ratification of
our federal constitution.
Similarity to Hamilton.
I was struck by the similarity of
the history of Alexander Hamilton
and General Smuts.
Hamilton came from the obscure
island of Nevis in the Caribbean sea.
He became a general in our revo
lutionary war, serving with great
distinction under Washington at
Yorktown. Alter the war he became
the leading advocate of the new con
stitution.
General Smuts was born in South
Africa, won military glory in the
fight of the South African colony for
freedom, and later became, after
President Wilson, the most force
ful and persuasive advocate of the
new constitution proposed for the
government of the world.

JEWS OF OMAHA
MEET TO MOURN
DEAD KINSMEN
In Scathing Terms, Acts and
Policies of Poles of Europe
Are Denounced by
Speakers.
With sorrowing hearts and
drooping heads, the thought of the
persecutions encountered by their
brethren oppressing hem, more
than 4,000 Jews of the city as
sembled at the Nineteenth and Burt
streets synagogue yesterday after
noon to mourn the death of great
numbers of their kinsmen slaugh
tered by the anti-Semitic forces of
eastern Europe.
During the whole day prior to the
assemblage at the synagogue the
adult Jews of the city had fasted in
supplication to their Maker to spare
their less fortunate brothers in
Europe further misery and death.
At 4 o'clock great numbers of the
protesting Jews had already as
sembled at the synagogue awaiting
the official opening of the ptaver
meeting. ' The congregation, then
led by Rabbi E. Fleishman, prayed
for more than an hour.
At the close of the services sev
eral speakers arose and passionate
ly denounced the policy adopted by
the Polish and other east European
governments toward their Jewish
nationals.
"The greatest crime in the history
is being perpetrated against the Jews
at the present time," said Rabbi
Fleishman. "The new Polish state
is beginning badly, if its present
methods are to signify what its fu
ture methods will be."
Archbishop J. J. Harty will open
the protest meeting, to be held at
the Auditorium Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock. The meeting will be un
der the auspices of a Jewish commit
tee of 25, but individuals of all creeds
will be asked to attend.
Rev. Frank G. Smith will also ad
dress the mass meeting. The com
mittee, which is composed of the
most prominejit Jewish residents in
the city, has requested ex-President
Taft to address the meeting.
Analysis May Help
In Running Down Men
Who Mailed Bombs
Salt Lake City, May 30. Analy
sis of the explosive contained in two
bombs received by the local postof
fice a few weeks ago addressed to
Sen. William H. King and Frank H.
Nebker, which was completed today
by a powder expert, may prove of
value in runing down and appre
hending the bomb maker, according
to W. G. Haas, local postoffice in
spector. The formula of the explosive has
been deciphered by the expert and
copies of this will be sent to Wash
ington, thence to the powder com
panies throughout the United States.
Mr. Haas said that it is probable
that the company from which the
explosive was purchased will rec
ognize the formula and may in this
manner be able to gain a clue which
may lead to the arrest of the bomb
makers.
The explosive contained 40 per
cent nitroglycerin and some sod
ium nitrate, besides many other
chemicals. Both bombs have been
opened and found to be identical in
regard to manufacture and quality
of explosive.
