Washington. March 14.-Recogni-tion of the Gleek government of King Constantine by the United States is expected to result shortly from negotiations instituted by the Greek government with the state department through the Greek lega tion. Letters from King . Constantine and Queen Mother Olga, it became known today, containing announce ment of the ascension to the throne of the king, hsve been transmit ted to the Statedepartment. One obstacle to -recognition of Constantine. it was said by state de partment officials of the last admin istration, was lack of receipt from the king of formal notification of his taking over the government. L;pon this having been made known to the Greek government the letters of notification were forwarded. In addition, the Greek government i has presented the State department Willi a ueciaranon maue 10 me American minister at Athens in which the new Greek government has acknowledged all obligations in curred by the government of Veni zelos.

Under this credit cash advances of $15,000,000 ; were made bv the Wilson administration. Bee Contest Photos Really for Owners All of Those Not Among Prize Winners or Held fori Later Use Available. !

Brandeis Stores Sew Cafeteria Sen Ico' Daily From 9 A. M. to 5:30 P.M. " Main Floor West Arcade Ok SOME BIG THINGS H IN NEBRASKA :V lev jxxjueis ior me living "The City Beautiful" Friday Brandeis Stores' ad referred to "What It Means to v LIVE in Omaha." Anybody can live in the ordinary sense if his bfeathing apparatus is good and his material organs are intact. But suppose we adopt for this city the slogan "tile Hue in Omoliow Can we "live up" to that "LIVE?" If we succeed in that 'the world will know that it docs not mean "We breathe (or exist) in Omaha." The world will know that when we say "We LIVE in Omaha" we say it with a proper appreciation of what it is to live. We LIVE because we love the things which make life worth the living; we understand the things which make for real growth In men and women, as well as in communities; we help ourselves by helping one another; we build in brick and stone and mortar, tempting to the eye, in industry and professions, inspiring to the soul, in individual character, helpful to the race all because we are building along the lines of thought which lead irresistibly to "The City Beautiful." . , It is much like the experience of the ragged and dirty child in the Italian city. She gazed so constantly and thoughtfully upon the beautiful statue in the market place that she unconsciously adopted it as her model. One day she washed the dirt from her face. On another day she mended her tattered clothes. Finally she emerged from filth and squalor a splendid type of cleanliness in person, as well as in thought It is muchvlike Hawthorne's famous story, "The Great Stone Face." Ernest, the lad born in the valley, held persistently to the thought that in time there would appear a man with purpose as true, and features as noble as that indicated by the Great Stone Face on the mountain side. So faithfully did he cultivate this ideal that the nobility he had recognized in the Great Stone Face de veloped within his own character and won from the people of the valley the recognition of the fact that Ernest himself was his dream come true. "We LIVE in Omaha" just as the little Italian girl lived with in the light given by the statue in the market place. "We LIVE in Omaha" just as Ernest, the boy in Hawthorne's valley, lived within the benedictioi of the Great Stone Face. "We LrVE in Omaha" and growing in the measure in which we LIVE--Omaha grows and Nebraska grows; and all upon a foundation "eternal as the stars" and with a progress "resistless as the tides."
