Warsaw. March 28. (Via fierUn.
April 3.) The first ship repatriating
Americans in the Polisharmy has
sailed with longing eyes watching
for sits return. Many Chicagoans
and other western men are on the
boat. Although of long Polish an
cestry, they are sick oi Poland and
years of war.
General Haller's recruits from
America seem to have cause for
"grouching." They enlisted in 1917.
They were caught up' by that wave
of enthusiasm for Prance and sub
ject races in the east Some hoped
vaguely for service in Poland,
"their country," as Poles the world
over call it simply. Or in case
those of non-Polish blood were
touched by that hankering after ad
venture that in five years uprooted
the youth of the world.
But on arriving in France, these
Americans met their first disillusion
ment, they say when pay became ir
regular or uncertain. Mutiny made
itself felt once or twice, one regi
ment refusing to enter the trenches.
Then came the armistice.
"Back to the United States for
me-"
This wish ran through every regi
ment. , But Poknd called them to
fight on its soil. There was discon
tent and some desertion, but for
the most part the ien were moved
by curiosity to see the land of their
fathers.
Their pay was to be in francs.
Now the franc at present is worth
11.40 Polish marks, but the men
were paid, when at all, at the rate of
?.50 marks to the franc. As a mat
ter of fact, however, it is hard to find
one who recently has teen paid.
One mah,-41 years old, who came
from Chicago, arrived in Warsaw in
a pitiable state of starvation. He
was so weak from hunger he walked
with a cane. ' He told how he had
heard of a job in Poland and with
this prospect requested and secured
his release. In order to do so he !
had signed a paper absolving the
Polish army from all obligations to
pay. his passage to the United States.
Of course, the job failed to ma
terialize, for Polish industry is
greatly , crippled, to say 'the least.
The man' found himself in the War
saw streets in wintfty weather with
out even a shirv;under his light uni
form reoat. 1" ?

Sir John Fraser, in Omaha, Be
lieves Government Should
Be, Recognized.
"The great powers of the world
will eventually have to recognize the
soviet government in Russia, re
gardless of their likes or dislikes.
This is the statement of Sir John
Fraser, noted English lecturer and
author, who arrived in Omaha yes
terday to address members of the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts at its
afternoon meeting in the Hotel Fon
tenelle on "A Diplomat at Large."
Mr. Fraser is somewhat rotundi
and of ruddy complexion a typical
Britisher of the much cartooned
type. He reclined in his chair at
the Hotel Fontenelle this morning
and related experiences of his trips
to 30 different countries, and of his
bicycle trip around the world.
Russian Soviet Inevitable.
"The establishment of a soviet
government in Russia is inevitable,
in my opinion," he .said, "and such
a government should be recognized,
although it should not be approved.
"Recognition should be made on
the condition that civil war in Rus
sia cease at once, and this would give
the Russian people a chance to form
ulate some better form of govern
ment "Sovietism is the crudest form of
autocratic rule in the world, and the
Russian people, who are naturally
democratic, will soon put an end to
it after they have had a chance to
see things from the proper perspec
tive." Demands the "Sir."
Mr. Fraser scoffed at rumors that
England might take steps to repu
diate debts to the United States. No
such thing has ever been mentioned
by a British statesman, he s,aid, and
if Great Britian should take such ac
tion it would naturally expect na
tions'1 indebted to her to take the
same action.
Europe is rapidly regaining its in
dustrial life, he said, and all war
debts will be paid.
During the war. Mr. -Fraser was
chairman of the National War Lec
tures committee of England, and for
his services in this capacity he was
knighted by King George. He
rigidly insists on being addressed
with the prefix "sir."
Among his books are: "The Real
Siberia," ""Red Russia," and "Russia
of Today." '

DESTRUCTION OF OLD SURFACE CARS IN NEW YORK CAUSES
PROTEST The destruction of hundreds of unfit surface cars by the
New York City Railways company has aroused a storm of protest
by civic societies in the city. The societies maintain that the cars
would have done much to relieve the housing situation in the city.
With the approach of summer they could have Berved as beach bun
galows for the city's homeless. It is probable that hundreds.of the
old cars which were not destroyed will be put to the use suggested
by the civic societies. ' .

HOOVER NOT TO
MAKE ACTIVE
" PNVFW0B
Deprecates Suggestions of In
dependents That His Name
Be Placed Before Any
Other Than Republicans.
By The Anociated Pre. .
New York, April 3. Herbert
Hoover, who has announced he is
ready to accept the republican pres
idential nomination if it is demanded
of him, issued a statement today in
which he requested he be not further
embarrassed by suggestions of some
independents that his name be
placed before any other party, as "a
prima'ry sense of team work' in any
party organization would preclude
such a possibility."
Mr. Hoover said in his statement
he had no great record of partisan
activity and "admitted" that his po
litical activity was confined to mem
bership in a prominent republican
club and allegiance to the party over
a period of years. He addec that,
because of his profession of a min
ing engineer, continual shift of resi
dence had prevented him from exer
cising as much as he desired the
privilege of every citizen atv the
polls.
Asserting that his administrative
duties in various relief organizations
would prevent him from making a
personal caivvass for the nomination,
Mr. Hoover said he expected Hoover
organizations throughout the coun
try would have to expend certain
amounts for printing and other ex
penses, but that he hoped they would
confine themselves to. minor sub
scriptions and expenditures and
would be prepared to open their
books to public inspectiAi.

MONDAY, TUESDAY, and WEDNESDAY, April S, 6 and 7, between the hours of 9 A. M. and 10:30 P. M.
With the development of the
Fuelizer, the engineers of the Pack
ard Company have reached the goal
for which motor car interests all over
the world have been striving for years.
In short they have achieved PER
FECT COMBUSTION of all grades of
gasoline.
To the Packard owner, at least the
inefficient carburetion of gasoline is
no longer a source of worry and ex
pense. The Fuelizer is about the simplest
invention anybody ever saw to mean
so much.
It consists essentially of a pipe, a
chamber and a spark plug. It weighs
less than' two pounds.
It is AUTOMATICALLY regulated
by the varying degree 'of. suction ex
erted by the engine as the throttle is
opened or closed. Not a, moving part
not an adjustment anywhere.
This demonstration will hold great interest for you regardless of the make of car you are driving or may be
