Further Political Hopes
Washington, Sept. 6. Explaining
his recent vote against creating per
manent rank for General Pershing
as a reward for services in France,
Representative Schall, republican,
Minnesota, declared in the house
Saturday that the officer had built
up a personal advertising machine
abroad and that his fame was due
to "misinformation, hypocrisy and
pretense."
He charged that General Pershing
had political aspirations and had
sought the endorsement of congress
for use in this campaign.

Husband; Loves Chinaman
Although protesting her love for
Gee Bing Yoo, Chinese, with whom

VACATION ENDS
FOR PUPILS IN
OMAHA SCHOOLS
Studies Will Be Resumed
Monday Morning With 1,000
Teachers to Welcome
Children Back.
Willie will have to get up early
Monday morning, shine his shoes,
don a new shirtwaist, and then will
have to pass an inspection by his
mother to see whether he has
washed his neck and face with the
care which the occasion demands.
The summer vacation, with all of
its joys, has passed away, and the
stern "realities of school days will
be here again.
Thousand Teachers Ready.
One thousand teachers will be at
the schools to welcome the boys
and girls hack to their studies. The
kindergarten departments of the
elementary schools will be attended
by many tots who wiH begin their
long climb up the hill of knowledge
on the morrow.
On account of the visit of Presi
dent Wilson, the morning session
will not be observed closely in
schools near the route of the presi
dent's automobile ride. Other chil
dren who wish to see the president
will be excused if accompanied by
elders.
To Relieve Benson High.
A six-year course in the Benson
high school will relieve the Benson
West and Benson Central schools
of the seventh and eighth grades.
An extended program of medical
inspection will be carried out this
school year under the direction of
Dr. E. T. Manning and Miss Char
lotte Townsend, assisted by a staff
of 18 nurses.
Teachers Need Rooms.
J. H. Beveridge, superintendent
of schools, states that the crowded
condition at the Dundee school will
be relieved next month, when an
annex will be ready for occupancy.
One of the situations in connec
tion with the opening of schools
is the difficulty with which sojne
teachers are getting themselves lo
cated. Many returned from their
vacations to find the housing prob
lem serious and rents advanced.
Mrs. Adams Denies Report
That Husband Disappeared
Mrs. W. F. Adams. 3156 North
Fifty-ninth street, states that there
was no foundation for the icport that
her husband disappeared at the time
of the disappearance of Miss Gene
vieve Kcefe of Benson, two weeks
ago.
Miss Keefe was found in a local
convent last week 'and it was an
nounced that she went there on the
pretext that she was an orphan
away from home.
"Miss Keefe came to our home
rt 3 a. in. and my husbajid took her
clown town in an automobile, as she
said that she wished to go to a
hotel," said Mrs. Adams. "My hus
band then went on a business trip
and did not know that his name had
been associated with the affair until
he returned home and was shown
the newspaper articles. It is absurd
to say that my husband disappeared
because he did not."

derful opportunity in the near east

The Roumanians, he said, offer to
pay 40 and 50 per cent of the bill for
goods and ask 12 to 18 months'
credit for the balance, but are will
ing to pay frm 6 to 7 per cent in
terest, guaranteed by the strongest
Roumanian banks.
France is not an attractive market
for American coons
investing at present owing to the
low rate ot exenange. ihey are
buying from "hand to mouth" and
are waiting for the exchange to
rise.
Speaking of the near east Mr.
Wheten warned American firms to
get busy and send only the best
men, well versed in finance and
commerce, to do missionary work
and re-establish business connec
tions with these countries and to
counteract German propaganda
which he said was already beating
American firms.
"Just to show you how the Ger
mans are working," he said, "I saw
a letter in Milan sent out by a Ger
man firm to its former customers,
stating that all prewar balances
owed by the Italian customers had
been cancelled and a clean slate
started.
"The Germans are offering goods
at from nine to 12 months credit
with no initial payment and with the
present rate of exchange the mark
tor American goods just now, ,,. , . c fiKt
Wheten said, as the French are no krrt of Americans must fight
: .i.TWc need the bieeest and nest men
We need the biggest and best men
to counteract it. There are few
Americans in the near east. We are
losing a wonderful opportunity of
cornering this market.
"In Roumania the greatest needs
are hardware, interior house fix
tures, boots, shoes, clothing and
automobiles not agricultural ma
chinery, as the Furopean peasant
has no use for modern appliances.
Movie Man Gets Real '
"Close Up" of Wilson
(Continued From Pago One.)
particularly a tiny black pickaninny
and its mammy, who, fighting a way
through the crowd, got within reach
of the president.
"Hello, little one," he said, tak
ing hold of a chubby and verv dirty
hand, "I am glad to see you.'"'
Mrs. Wilson Pleased.
Another youngster struggled
through and presented Mrs. Wilson
with a bunch of sweet peas. Her
face wreathed in smiles, Mrs. Wil
son expressed her appreciation.
One of the "movie" men accom
panying the presidential party got
an unexpected chance for a "close
up" of the president when' Secretary
Tumulty helped boost him over the
rail to the platform to take the
surging crowd.
After training his r.imcm tti
crowd the operator turned and got
a good picture of the president as
he stood chatting.
"Here, stop that," Mr. Wilson
said good naturedly, "you must not
do that behind a man's back." He
then came over and patted the
"movie" operator on the back.
All along the route patriotic
decorations were much in evidence.
On the slope of a railway cut near
St. Joseph a family of country peo
ple had taken a vantage point to
catch a glimpse of the president, one
of the men struggling to hold an
eight-foot American flag in a stiff
breeze and all the others waving
smaller flags as the presidential
special rolled by.
Mr. Wilson spent a part of the
afternoon in the club car, where he
talked 6ver points in his speeches
with the newspaper correspondents.
He said he was satisfied with the
treaty situation in the senate and
was enjoying his trip.
Every Terslan who can read nnd
write calls himself Khan, who has
been to Mecca calls himself Hay.Jii,
and who claims descent from the
prophet Sayed, Said, or Syed.
Corn Belt Farm Land Prices

Washington, Sept. 6. FariiJers in.
Iowa and other corn belt "itates
were warned Saturday by th; De
partment of Agriculture to beware
of speculators who have created a
land boom in those states. jFrices
of farming lands have risen s with
such rapidity that serious conse
quences may be expected, espially
with the return of normal condi
tions, the department said.
