German Hall, who led the 177th infantry of the 89th divi sion through the Argonne offensive arid other engagements, was in the city visiting his brother, Charles Hall, Flatiron hotel yesterday. The general arrived here Wednesday morninc and resumed his journey to tamp Dodge yesterday afternoon. General Hall was attached to the 40th division, a California organiza tion, when he went overseas more than 10 months ago. In October he joined the 89th, after the 40th divi sion had been converted into a re placement unit. He was with the army of occupa tion until May 5. The reports of starvation among the German popu lation, he declared, are untrue. Food seemed to be plentiful in that por tion of Germany occupied by the S9th, he said. General Hall was formerly chief constabulary of the Philippine islands. He is a West Point gradu ate. At the outbreak of the war he was advanced to the rank of colonel. !n August he was promoted to the rank which he now holds.

V To adopt a constitution that will permit the same kind of a program of state socialism as now exists in North Dakota under the Townley regime, an army of men trained in the work of organization is to be turned Joose in Nebraska in the near future. These men will work in conjunction with the "committee of 100," which was recently named by W. J. Taylor and other nonpartisan leaders. It is charged that most of, the members of the committee of 100 are socialists, or have socialistic leanings. Eight organizers of the league are now working out of Omaha and come to the city every Sunday for conferences. Arrangements are be ing made by the nonpartisan leaders of the state it is said, to bring 200 of the trained organizers working under Townley from North Dakota and place them in the Nebraska field in the next few weeks. The agrarian interests of the state. working through- the Farmers' union, and with Frank Harrison as director, are also much in evidence. One of the moSt important ques tions that will come before the con stitutional convention will be that of enacting legislation that will be concurrent with feUeral statutes for Jhe enforcement of prohibitions The federal amendment for prohibition which was adopted at the last ses sion of the legislature provides for the enactment of , this concurrent legislation. Some of the leading attorneys of the state are in fear that the dele gates to the convention will adopt the same system as prevailed in the Oklahoma constitutional convention and incorporate in; the constitution the laws of the state. The Okla homa constitution covers every sub ject embraced in the satutes of that state.

This additional production insures our tract holders dividends of at least $2.00 monthly per tract, by August 1st or as' soon as our oil is marketed. We have now started drilling Well No. 5, to the deep gusher sand, where we firmly expect to bring in a three to five thousand brel well, which would enable us to pay ' twenty to thirty dollars monthly on each quarter acre tract. We are using a. day and night cjrew on No. 5, and expect to complete this well within sixty days. We are offering a small allotment, of tracts at $300 each, to yield $2:00 monthly, or eight per cent with full partici pation in the profits of all wells we drill, on all our properties. Every allotment we have offered so far, has been heavily- oversubscribed, and we advise immediate action to pro cure a few; tracts at this price.
