The train bearing the party from

Newton D. Balce, secretary of
war, devoted part of hisspeech
at the University of Omaha to ex
plaining whyhe bought 2,850,000
hatters for the 58000 horses in the
American army.
"The Onffcha Bee this evening
comments on meas a wasteful and
travagant person" said Mr. Bak-
Ihere mas undoubtedly some
in the extremely, rapid mobil
ization of economic resources. We
all make mistakes a.nd'1 ?ccept re
sponsibility fof those I made.
"Wehad very many more saddle
and bridles than we needed because
we " thought the war would last
longer than it did. Just a month be
fore the armistice was signed I had
v long , conference, with Marshal
Kch and Premier' Clemenceau in
Paris regarding what we would do
inthe war in the campaign of 1919
and of '1920s. I didn't know when
the war would end and that is. why
I bought so many saddles and
bridles: If rTIadn't bought them
and the time had come when we
needed them and didn'thave them
then I might have Deen criticised."
Mr. Baker declared himself a
. friend of peace of the most ardent
variety and said that is the reason
he is in favor of the Wilson league.
t Mrs. Nancy M. Schportmaker, a
prominent- suffrage speaker, made
a speech, the burden of which was
a continuous attack; on Henry Ca

Albert S. Ritchie, attorney, is on
his wav to Okmulgee, Okl., to con
sult ttier'e with the woman who
claims to be the widow of the late
John Neal, whd died here August 29
leaving an estate worth S1.000.UUO.
Withdrawal of the cony of the al
iened will Friday from the local
county court and notice that it-had
been admitted to probate in the
court at Winston-Salem, N.' C, will
not interferwithJMr. Ritchie's fight
on .behalf of the alleged jidow he
said, though it will be inconvenient
to bring action so far away.
Countv Attorney Shotwell said
esterday he did not know whether J
uir county win iukc iijr miuuh m
secure the. $50,000 or more inheri
tance Jaxes which will come to the
county .where' the deceased's legal
residence was. ' ,
Clyde SundLlsd, Thief deputy ii
the county judge's office, pointed out
the interest that the state has in the
will also. If no'letral heirs are found
and if the alleged will is. thrown iXit
of court, the estute-wourd go ta the
btate. Under these circumstances
the state of Nebraska "stands" ta
lose $1,000,000 by reason of the pro
bate of the will -in North Carolina.
The original Neal will has been
lost. Only an .alleged, copy is on
hie in me proDate court. t i
The alleged widow- of Neal and
her !bn filed their legal protest in
county court yesterday just after
Franklin Shotwell had serrH -notice
that the will had been admitted to
probate in Nonh. Carolina.

"The work of these men," he said,

"By sending the men out id de

meeting in the Unitarian church,

as Secretary of War Baker came in,
cutting short the final remarks of
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale univer
sity. -The chairman, W. F. Baxter,
introduced the secretary of war as
a man who loved peace 'so deeply
that he was willing, to abolish his
own office of secretary of war. In
the course of his speech, Mr. Baker
announced that after election day he
would hold office only for 134 days,'
' and hoped to retire permatfcntly into
private life.
