Balloon School
Reasons Assigned by Air Serv
ice Officials for Transfer to
Scott Field Are Regarded
I , Insufficient.
Washington, Nov. 9. (Special
Telegram.) Senator sjlitrficdck
returned to Washington determined
to do whatever possible in keeping
. Fort Omaha Balloon school intact,
or in the event of its being trjtns
j ferred to Scott Field near Belleville,
III., to have an iron-clad agreement
: that Fort Omaha shall be maintained
,-, as a regular army post.
Nebraska's senior senator would
! not be averse to having the head
quarters of the Seventh army corps
area transferred from Fort Crook
to Fort Omaha, providing Fort
Crook be made into a brigade post
for either infantry or artillery, but
. until some understanding is had with
the general staff. Senator Hitchcock
will make a light to retain the bal
loon school at Fort, Omrha and
will interview military officials to
t morrow along these lines.
"" Wishes Will have Weight '
While it is true Senator Hitchcock
is of the minority party on the coni
, mittee on military affairs, he ranks
, on the minority side next V Sen
: ator Chamberlin of Oregon, who
y was chairman of the. committee dur-
ing the democratic control of the
I upper body and is regarded as a
friend of the army. His wishes,
1 therefore, should have considerable
; weight.
t The reasons assigned by air serv
f ice officials for the removal of the
balloon school to Scott Field, be-
cause St. Louis is near the center of
:; production of helium and Scott Field
i is only a short distance from the
j Missouri metropolis, are regarded by
v other army officials as insufficient
I for the abandonment of a balloon
? school that has given so splendid
an account cf its training through
the officers put into overseas serv
ice. ' ,
Prompt Action Necessary;
Whatever is done looking to khi
rctention of the balloon school at
. j and it is suggested that the entire
: Nebraska delegation be asked to
I unite in a recommendation for its
j retention together with cogent rea-
sons for its continuance at the nands

I welfare of the city. . - . .

Holland Moves to

Russian Reds
Heavy Guards Maintained at
Frontier Posts to Prevent
Undesirables From Enter
ing Country Unnoticed.
Rotterdam, Nov. 9. Holland has
established a great cordon along the
German frontier to prevent the in
flux of large numbers of Russian
bolshevik agents from Germany.
Heavy ghards arc maintained, so
that person wishing to cross the
boundary in either direction must
pass through frontier posts and over
recognized highways. Those who
attempt; surreptitiously to cross run
the rrsk of being shot.
These precautions have failed,
however, to check the movement of
soviet agents Men whom the police
would like to interview have tyeew
seen in this city and Amsterdam, but
when the police set their dragnet for
their quarry, the men wanted have
utterly disappeared.
Is Underground Road.'
Later there usually comes in
formation that the suspects have
been found in Germany and are on
their wav to the 'Russian frontier.
The system followed resembles the.
underground raiiroaa Dy wnicr.
fugitive slaves moved through north
ern states to Canada in the days be
fore the American civil war.
The "underground railroad" is
utilized by soviet agents to bring
into Poland bolshevik "missionaries"
who are to make attempts to reach
America. There appears to be a
constant current of these men cross
ing and re-crossing the frontier.
Every means of getting them into
Holland is used. '
Many Deserters Found.
During recent montljs many Poles
have gone to America, and some of
them have been deserters from Gen
eral Pilsudski's armies. It is said
regularly organized bureaus were
established to help these men evade
military duty and go forward into
Holland, and that among them were
many bolshevik agents. .
Reports have been received here
that many bolshevik sympathizers
who we.re last year deported as un
desirables from America are to i be
returned to that- country. Police
officials assert a special bureau has
been created here to take qare of this
class of "emigrant" and carry out
carefully laid plans for getting, the
agitators bick into the United States.

United , Clothiers .Informed
Clothing Is to Be Cheaper,
With Immediate Delivery
Offered.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ba Iicassd Wire.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Concrete evi
dence of the downward tendency of
wearing apparel was presented today
when the United Clothiers opened
their 13th annual convention at the
Lexington hotel.
Men's clothing for immediate de
livery was offered at prices 10 to
SO per cent below present . whole
sate prices.
Goods for spring and summer de
livery were, shown at prices 10 to
33 1-3 per cent under those a year
ago. Men's shirts, underwear,, sox
and other articles show similar de
clines. Six hundred retail clothing dealers
from 17 middlewestern states are at
tending the convention and every
delegate is agreed that prices are
slipping, W. L. Mohr, treasurer and
general manager of the association,
said.
"The public is not buying, man
ufacturers and dealers are over
stocked and the prices must come
down," said Mr. Mohr. "We have
passed the peak in high prices of
wearing apparel. I do not believe we
will get back to the figure of last
winter in many years. Usually our
November convention offers goods
fo spring and summer delivery.
This year we arc not only showing
stuff for future delivery, but we
have immense t--ks oi apparel-for

Every good .result which John

Their certainty that people will
always discover a meritorious
