May Maintain Present
Freight Office System
At Union Stockyards
One of the problems that is vex
ing "officials at the stock yards is
that of whether ythe return of con
trol of the railroads to 'private own
ership will affect the joint freight
office maintained at the yards.
It has been pointed out that the
joint office has been a great con
venience to the trade and the sen
timent among the patrons of the
various railroads is most favorable
for a continuation of present ar
rangements.
E. E. Grimes, joint agent, stated
Saturday he did not know what
steps would be taken. 'Stock yards
officials and the commission men as
a unit say the management of the
Omaha office has been a great suc
cess, in that it has in reality been a
joint office, for all the roads and
said to be the only complete joint
railroad -office in the country. .
At Kansas City. St. Toe, Okla
homa City and the National- Stock
Yards, the joint office is said to
handle only live stock and does not
collect cash or handle the accounts.
At the Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
the joint office handles accounts
and packers' business.
On the South Side the office
handles everything, in and vout
bound live stock, packer in and out
business, grain, coal, etc., includ
ing the accounts.' The joint agent
also has jurisdiction over all the
railroad yards on the South Side,
handling records and the like and
has one of the largest car exchange
bureaus in the United States. .
The saving in expenses under the
joint plan is estimated from $2,50U
to $5,000 a month and the consen
sus of opinion in South Omaha is
that the various roads would do well
to continue the joint agent as now
in vogue. '

Washington, Nov. 22. A standing
army of about 260,000 men, backed
by a universal" military training sys
tem to supply reserves, would meet
the peace time reauirements of the
hUnited States, Gen. . Pavton C
March, chief bf staff, declared in his
annual report, made public .today,
and which probably forecasts recom
mendations to be made by the War
department when congress reconvenes.-
General March founded his judg
ment on lessons of the world war.
That proved conclusively, he said,
that ability to be self-sustakjing for
an inoennite period, provided - the
army was adequately prepared, was
the nation's greatest military asset.
Nothing to Fear.
So far. as purely naval ftoerations
are concerned, he added, the United
States has nothing'to fear from "any
conceivable combination" of naval
powers, but must be prepared to
prevent seizure of bases by an en
emy controlling the sea- and intend
ing landing troops.
without the possession of such
bases in France," the report said,
"we could not have landed our army.
irrespective of the fact that the al
lies had control of the sea."
General March recommended fix
ing the strength of the regular army
at five army corps, maintained at
half strength in peace time. . The
proposals the department presented
tentatively to congress during the
special session called for 509,000
men and the statement of the chief
of staff was taken to indicate that
this would be scaled down to 260,-
ooo.
Defends Staff System.
The report defended the present
staff system with authority central
ized in the chief of staff. .Proof of
its efficiency could be found, it said,
in the fact that the United States
had sent more than 2,000,000 men
and vast supplies overseas, thus be
coming "a positive factor in the mili
tary actions of the war." ,
"I am convinced," Gen. March
said, "thai without "a properly or
ganized and efficient general start
with authority to formulate and
execute the army program it will in.
tuture wars as in this and every
other war of our history be impos
sible for the activities of the various
agencies, services and bureaus of
the war department to be con
trolled and directed to the attain
ment of the common end."
"Under the terms of the treaty of
peace, Gen. March added, "the
German general staff is abolished
Had the uermans won the war,
they would in all probability have
prescribed somewhat similar terms
for the United States."
Products of War.
The war produced new practices
but not new principles, the report
said and "was not won, as some
predicted, by a new and terrible de
velopment of modern science, ' but
by "men, munitions and morale."
x The American military achieve
ment was possible "only because of
the assistance of our allies, Gen.
March said, and in urging an ade
quate military policy added: "Surely
we can never expect to prepare for
defense against the attack of a
powerful and determined agenfy
again under such favorable condi
tion to ourselves.
Military experts are agreed, he
said, that the bulwark of American
power is -its ability for self-suste
nance, this involving, as it does
our unlimited resources of' man
power and wealth," he said, "consti
tutes our greatest national .military
asset, provided, and only provided,
we are prepared to prevent the land
ing on our shores ot an enemy ot the
size which our own performance has
demonstrated to the world can be
landed by a first-class power under
certain conditions. These condi
tions are that it shall have control
of the sea and controj of the proper
bases for debarkation.
"It is, accordingly, one of the very
important lessons of this war, that
reasonable provision and a sound
military policy demand that there
shall be at all times available for im
mediate use a sufficient trained and
organized force to insure, in connec
tion with our fixed coast defenses,
that no probable or possible enemy
can ever seize a great strategic base
on our coast.. With such a base in
his possession, it is not inconceiv
able that he could within a short
time land a sufficient number of fully
equipped troops to seize and hold,
by establishing a line of defense not
incomparable in length with that
held by the Germans on the western
front, an area including such an ap
preciable portion of the resources
and wealth of the country asto re
sult in conseauence of incalculable
moment to the nation.

Banking House.
London, Nov. 22. In a land
where comedians score through arti
ficial eyebrows, paint-smeared faces,
ludicrous trousers and "adventitious
aids" to funniness, Walter Catlett of
San. Francisco has made a great hit
by being his own droll self.
" Real comodians have been going
their laugh-provoking way in Amer
ica for years without a single bor
rowing from the box of tricks of
the circus clowns, but the men who
stand at the top here pull so heavily
on the paint pots and property
man's stock, that Catlett is hailed
as an innovation.
And what a lpt of good publicity
stuff there is connected with the
"new" comedian. British papers re
count a score of interesting items
that keep the American before the
public eye. He looks like Wilson.
He wears gigantic horn-rimmed
glasses, his only"prop." He. broke
into the stage from a church choir
at the age of 8. His mother has
been present at" every first night un
til the opening in "Baby Bunting,"
at the Shaftesbury here. He tries
to be funny without vulgarity, an
other innovation on the British or
continental stage
Co-Operative System
Urged in Industrial

workers in the state ot Washington
sneaking at the second and final
day's session of the conference of
farm and labor bodies of the coun

wide organization of the so-opera
tive system is the next logical step
in industrial reconstruction in the
United States. -
Exactly the same thing that is
happening in Europe is taking place
in this country," said McGill, who
recently returned from abroad,
where he studied industrial condi
tions in ! England and France.
Workingmen are everywhere de
manding the right to be represented
in the management of industry," he
said.
He explained the system" under
which 25 timber mills are co-pera-tivcly
operated, successfully in. the
state of Washington. Contentment
exists among workers in these mills
and consequently "there t is no
chance for a strike," he said. '

IT PLEASE?
If the five LeMars bank robbers
Jad not been promptly captured
after their sensational escape from
jail they would have carried out
their plans to rob the First National
bank at Sioux City, and might have
been successful, for the plan they had
perfected had in it the elements of
success. The plan was confidential
ly detailad to Sheriff W. A. Grone
weg while with other officers he
was 'taking the prisoners to Fort
Madison, la., to begin life terms.
Sheriff Groneweg returned to
Counci) Bluffs yesterday after hav
ing been actively engaged since Sat
urdayin the capture and conviction
of the bandits. Four sheriffs, Grone
weg of Council Bluffs, W. H. Jones
of Woodbury county. Henrv Har
low of Monona county and M. D.
Meyers of Harrison county, and
State Agents Jim Risden and P. Van
Wagner constituted the souad of
officers who conveyed the bandits
from LeMars to Fort Madison.
Planned Escape in Auto. ,
The plan had been in process of
construction for several weeks and
details were completed. Two of the
five men, Lee Barrington, W. Cul
len, James O'Keefe, Harry Smith
and William Convey, were to enter
the bank at the opening hour in the
morning, make a deposit and stall
around until they were surej the
vault had been opened. Then they
were to signal the three others, who
were quietly to enter the bank,
stick up their two companions and
the bank officials, rob the vault and
escape to a nearby highpowered
car and drive by a circuitous route
to a designated place where the
other two would meet them in an
other car and carry them in another
direction, while the first car would
be driven away and abandoned. The
plan provided for several similar re
lay cars that would leave a baffling
trail for officers to follow. '
Groneweg Heads Hunt.
Sheriff Groneweg was placed in
charge of the man hunt by direction
of Attorney General Havner's rep
resentative, Risden, and he directed
the pursuit that led to the capture
18 miles from LeMars Monday
noon, it is not true tnat tne Dan-
dits robbed a deaf and dumb couple
and this left a clue that led to their
capture, Sheriff Qroneweg says, and
he lays the blame of that robbery to
hoboes.
After breaking tail Friday night,
the bandits headed for the country,
the sheriff savs. In crossing a deep
ravine all five of them stepped into
water waist deep. It turned freeze
ing cold and several of them suf
fered frosted feet and all were
chilled to exhaustion They had
nothing to eat from Friday to Mon
day and the long fast further weak
ened thenj. .When finally captured
there was no fight in them.
, Had Outside Aid.
The men said the two revolvers
used in the attack on Sheriff Max
well and his son were put into the
jail from the outside, several days
before the outbreak and was part
of the proposed Sioux City i bank
robbery plan. They refused to give
any information concerning the out
side confederates.
Cullen and O'Keefe are former
South Omaha men. Sheriff Grone
weg says Cullen is the most dan
gerous and desperate of the band.
He was like a caged panther, alert
and ready to spring at the least
chance of escape. His temper was
illustrated by a couple of incidents
that occurred on the train enroute
to Fort Madison. - 1
In coming out oT the dining car,
a country rube manifested a little
curiosity to see the men and was
leaning forward peering at those
who had passed, when Cullen sucN
denly whirled and gave him a stun
ning crack on the back of the neck.
In the car a passenger boarding the
train . happened to brush against
Cullen a he passed his seaf. The
passenger was carrying a sujt case
and Cullen sprang to his feet and
kicked the gripNvith such force that
his' foot smashed through the side,
ruining the grip.
Rewards aggregating $5,500 will
be paid for the capture of the ban
dits. .
Help Red Cross Hit
White Plague-in Sale
. of Christmas Seal
t
New York, Nov. 22. The Red
Cross Christmas seal sale, which
will begin all over the country on
December 1, and continue until
December 10, will mark the begin
ning of another phase of the race
between tuberculosis and the agen
cies organized to beat this most
deadly menace of the American peo
ple. In the 14 years during which
the National luberculosis associa
tion has been co-ordinating the
work of fighting the white
pleague in the United States there
has been an average increase of 400
per cent in the varied facilities for
combating the disease.
But the statistics recently made
public at the headquarters of the

MULLEN RANCHER
GIVES HIMSELF UP, '
. AFTFR SHOOTING
Rides Horseback 18 Miles and
K Tells Sheriff of Neigh- .
bor's Death. i
Mullen, Neb., Nov. 22.-(Special.)
His ho?Se dripping" with seat and
completely worn out with hard rid
ing, Louis G. Rolcombe, rancher,
living about 18 miles southeast of
here, rode into Mullen at a late houc
of the night and gave liimself up
to Sheriff S. L. Dutton.fof kjjling
VPerry N Kirkpatrick, a neghbor. A
nearly as can be learned the tragedy
grew out of a dispute over the dead
man's cattle getting into the Hoi
comb cornfield.
Holcomb is being held in com
municado in jail here.
The tragedy occurred on a school
section leased by Byron Holcomb,
brother of the prisoner. No wit
nesses except Holcomb's brothers
and Kirkpatrick were presen.t The
first intimation the Kirkpatrick fam
ily received of trouble was when
somebody t Holcomb's place
phoned them. Holcomb saddled f
horse immediately and started to
town to give himself up to officials.
He announced that he will plead not
guilty and preliminary hearing was
set for December 2.
The prisoner does not seem to ba
in the least worried over the affair.
He sleeps regularly and complains
if meals are late in getting to him.
When his wife called to see hin: for
the first time since the tragedy oc
curred, accompanied by his brothel
and wife, he talked calmlv about .
things in general, giving instructions
concerning things to be done on the
ranch. Several times the prisoner
nd his visitors laujjhed heartily at
Mings said by the children.
Offirals have several time taken
a gun from Holcomh. he having been
in haV't of carrying a revolver
in plyn sigrt. At one time officials
at Sciwa trok his gu.i away and
