Leaves for Seattle.
Nome, Alaska, June 19. Roaid
Amundsen, the explorer whose ship,
the Maud, wintered off Cape Serge.
Siberia, arrived in Nome and will
.leave for Seattle on the first steam
er, he announced. The Maude lost
a propellor in the ice during the
winter, and will be towed to Nome
this summer for repairs.
In Artie Since 1918.
Amundsen has been in the Arctic
since 1918, when he sailed north from
Norway aboard the Maude on what
was expected to be a drift to the
north pole. He remained in the
northern seas, unheard from, 19
months, making his way from the
Atlantic to the Pacific along the
northern coast of Europe and Asia.
Rorirnr ia vua renorted bv the
Maude last summer and Amundsen
visited Nome for supplies. After a
short rest there, during which several
members of his crew left, he again
sailed north, iust before winter
sealed the Arctic and was frozen in
the ice, as expected, north of Wran-
(Jgell island off Siberia.
Seek Ocean Current.
An ocean current, believed by some
explorers to begin in the Arctic off
x Siberia and flow across the north
Pole to Greenland,' is being sought
by Amundsen to carry him to the
top of the world. Amundsen's fel-
' low countryman, Fridtjof Nansen,
noted explorer in 1895, made a mem
orable attempt to reach the pole by
following this current. He found the
drift not as rapid as expected, left his
ship and made a futile attempt to
reach the pole over the ice.
First circumnavigation of the globe
through the narrow waters between
the Arctic packs and the northern
coasts of Europe, Asia and. North
America has been claimed for
Amundsen as a result of his present
"fie made the first leg of the jour
ney in 1906 when he discovered the
Northwest passage from the Atlantic
to the Pacific around North Amer
ica. The second section was com
pleted when he journeyed between,
the same oceans, but around Europe
and Asia between 1918 and 1920.

Coxey Protests
Asking Allies
To Pay Interest
Commander of Army of Un

Unre6tained.
ClilrafO Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaaed Wire.
Washington, June 19. "Col."
Jacob S. Coxey, who commanded
the industrial army of unemployed
which invaded the national capital
nearly 20 years ago, walked into the
White House Saturday, unaccompa
nied and unrestrained to deliver a
written protest to President Harding
against the executive's .plan to re
fund the war loans to the allies.
Colonel Coxey wants noninterest
bearing bonds.
"I notice in the morning papers,"
Colonel Coxey's protest read, "that
you are proposing to enslave the
European rations that are indebted
to us through burdening them ;with
an interest-bearing debt.
"The first step towards preventing
future wars is to eliminate interest
on money and profit on material of
&ny sort that can be used in carry
ing on war. Second, let the Ameri
can government set an example on
the loans they have made to the
allies, such loans to be refunded into
25-year noninterest bonds, four per
cent of the principal amount of such
bonds to be paid annually until the
principal amount of such bonds are
paid in full, at such tjjne to be can
celled. Why pay more than the
amount owing us?
"Let congress enact a law author
izing the secretary of the treasury
of the United States to issue $10,000,
000,000 legal tender treasury notes
and call upon the patriotic holders
of $10,000,000,000 of Liberty bonds
to surrender such bonds and accept
such treasury notes in lieu of such
bonds at their face value with in
terest, at such time of such bonds
being surrendered to be cancelled
and not again to be reissued.
"Any person or persons refusing
to surrender such bonds in pursu
ance to such act, to be branded as
slackers and pro-Germans, as well
as un-American."

Pueblo Flood
Relief Organization Reply to
Secretary Weeks and Tell
Of Disaster to
City.
Pueblo, Colo., June 19. At a mass
meeting of seven fraternal and
relief organizations including the
American Red Cross; five civic or
gsnzatons the commander of the
Colorado Natonal guard and city and
county commissioners, a telegram
was formulated and signed by the
various bodies, 14 in all, and sent to
John W. Weeks secretary of war,
stating that "Your published state
ments given to the Associated Press
of June 17 is not only based on mis
information, but is misleading and
has done Pueblo and the Arkansas
valley enormous injury."
The wire states:
"The undersigned persons and or
ganizations in mass meeting as
sembled today respectfully make the
following representation of facts:
"Over 1,500 persons are drowned
and missing, 665 homes havebeen
swept away and 3,500 people are
homeless. The total property and
mercantile loss in Pueblo county
alone is $20,000,000. With possibly
one or two exceptions Pueblo in
proportion to its size has suffered
a disaster greater than ever befell
any American city.
"If you could only be on the
ground for 30 minutes we would con
vince you that our statements are
not overdrawn.
"We larnestly ask that you give
this communication together with
any comments you care to make the
same publicity that you gave your
published interview."
Motorists Warned to Watch
For Tribulus Terrestris
Washington, June 19. Motorists
beware of the tribulus terrestris.
Government weed sharps issued
such warning against the "puncture
vine" of the west and southwest, an
undesirable "immigrant from south
ern Europe, which probably stowed
away in the fleece of sheep to reach
this country.
A California man, the report said,
reported 70 punctures in one tire
caused by the weed.

Borah Opposes
Health Bureaus
Declares Government Will
Soon Control Thoughts as
Well as What You Buy.
Washington, June 19. Establish
ment of bureaus to supervise the
health of the people means the be
ginning of the end of the republic,"
declared Senator Borah of Idaho, in
a speech here before the Citizens'
Protective association, which is op
posed to the federal regulation of
medicine.
Senator Borah took 'Too Much
Government" as his tett, declaring
that "the time is coming when the
government will not only control
what you buy, but also what you
think."
"The time has come," he con
tinued, "when we must fight to de
termine whether the country is to
remain a republic or whether it is
to become a bureaucracy. When
Napoleon took charge of the French
government he replaced the 200,001)
government officials with a force of
5,000 who performed the same
amount of work. I .believe that
something like this performances
could be duplicated in Washington.
We have already approached within
20,000 of the number of ofice-hold-ers
in the rolls of the French gov
ernment before the French revolu
tion." Michigan produces 80 per cent of
the automobiles in the United States
and 70 per cent of the automobiles in
the world.

Worried With
a
I
Bad Back ?
S a dull, constant backache spoil
ing your summer? Do sharp
pains stab you at every sudder
move? Are you so tired and down
hearted it seems you just can't keep
going? Don't be, discouraged! You
would n't feel so bad ly without a cause;
and more than likely the cause is weak kidneys. Not any organic kidney
trouble perhaps, but a slowing up of the kidneys and the resulting accumu
lation of poisons that well kidneys would have filtered off. Is it any wonder
then you feel so run down, nervous and depressed? That you are subject
to frequent headaches, dizzy spells and annoying bladder irregularities?
Then, why not give the weakened kidneys the help they need? Why wait
for some serious kidney trouble? Use Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's have helped
thousands. They should help you. -k Ask your neighbor!
Read How These Omaha Folks Found Relief:
Mrs. Ed Reeves. 4411 N. 31st Ave.,
says: "I had a bad a bad ease of kid
ney trouble and there was a continual
aching in my kidneys. I also had awful
dizzy headaches. A friend advised me
to use Doan's Kidney Pills for this
trouble, so I took a box and felt much
better. I quit taking them for awhile
and noticed the trouble coming1 back,
so started using them again. This time
a couple boxes cured my trouble and
I have rot been bothered since. My
kidneys are healthy and in general my
health is good."
A. P. Trowbridge, 2207 North 20th
St., says "I have a lot of heavy work
to do in the lumber yard and many
times when I have attempted to lift, I
would have to let go. The pains that
would shoot through the small of my
back and kidneys felt as though I had
been stabbed. My kidneys acted fre
quently and the secretions were highly
colored and burned in passage. I had
read how Doan's Kidney Pills had
been doing so much for others, so I got
a box and they releived me in a short
time."
Mrs. Chas. Appleton, 2818 South
17th St., says: "I was quite poorly,
owing to backache and kidney disorder.
I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and
quick relief followed. They acted as
a tonic to my kidneys, giving them
strength and correcting all the trouble.
The successful trial of this medicine
by another member of the family gives
use further proof of its merits, for the
help we have derived from Doan's Kid
ney Pills has been of normnntnt na.

Youth Rescued From
Niagara Whirlpool
Niagara Falls, N. Y June 19. Ed
ward Denny, 16, was rescued from
the Niagara whirlpool after being in
the water nearly an hour. He saved
himself by clinging to a drifting log.
The boy, with companions, was
swimming on the American side
above the rapids. He was carried
out into midstream and was soon in
the grip of the current.
He managed to catch a floating
log and was hurled through the first
of the lower rapids and into the
whirlpool. Here he was swept around
in the big outer eddy while the other
boys ran for aid. Some of them
found a rone and one threw it across
the path of the log. Denny caught
it and was hauled ashore uninjured.

An Appeal From Bishop Stuntz
to All Nebraska and Iowa for
WillardHall
A Home For Employed Girls
The purchase of the Brownell Hall building on South 10th at Wool
worth Ave. has just been completed. Willard Hall will be one of the finest
girls' homes in America. It will be entirely undenominational and nonsec
tarian. It will provide a comfortable and attractive home-like place for
rooming and boarding for employed girls and women who are away from
their own homes.
Here Is

dares make friends.
Have you ever been homesick? Can yon imagine how homesick
a country or small town girl Is during her first year or two in a
city like Omaha?
At home she knew everybody.
At home everybody kaw her.
She even knew the neighbors by the teams or automobiles they
drove, and waved at them and they at her aa they passed her
father's home.
In Omaha it is all strange. She hardly
fearing they will not be of the proper sort
Her "home" is a tiny bedroom, close and probably famished
with a minimum of expense. It is not always comfortably heated in
winter. On hot summer evenings it is so stuffy that, she is almost
driven to find relief wherever it can be had and this is not always
in places and among conditions favorable to either body or soul.
Multiply a single case like this by two thousand and some con
ception will be gained ot the problem at which we are working in
providing a Home for Employed Women and Girls in Omaha,
Statistics of the Chamber of Commerce show that there are
between eight and ten thousand women and girls in Omaha who re
ceive weekly pay checks. They work all day in the manufacturing,
jobbing, retail and other lines of employment They need the very
kind of thing we are proposing to furnish in Willard Hall. They
need it now.
It has been in the hearts of public spirited citizens of Omaha
to make such provision. Two or three excellent beginnings have
been made. But the number that can he accomodated is pitifully
emalL All told these Homes provide for only about one hundred
young women. It is a matter for thankfulness that so much has
been done, but it is only a beginning.
' In Willard Hall we are undertaking, to provide for about two
hundred and twenty-five young women. No religious or sectarian
testa of any kind will be demanded. All that any girl needs to
bring in the way of credentials is a good moral character and the
proof that she needs the provisions that are being made.
In making Willard Hall available for young women our aim will
be to make it homelike. There are two acres and a quarter ot
ground, two spacious parlors, a gymnasium and two tennis courts
and all in a fine residence neighborhood, within twenty minutes
walk of the heart of the business district and on a double street
ear line.
Willard Hall is a project which represents an investment of
9125,000 ot which the Centenary Fund has provided 150,000. Some
fine subscriptions have already been received, but about $50,000 ia
yet needed.
A room can be fully furnished for $209.
