Germans.

Fresh from scenes of French mcbniza-
ton and military activity, which were
made more keenly personal by the fact
that he has some brothers and many
other relatives at the front, Or. Felix J.
Despeoher. Omaha. dentist, has returned
home with his wife
While at st. Nazaire on the bay OF
Biscay for over two months, he ran the
towns gas plant, owrel ~ his brother,
while the latter was at the front fight
ing the Germans. Tive Omaha doctor
also undertook to care for fourteen
members Of his relatives families, while
the husbands and fathers were serving
in the army
The port of St Nazaire was turned
over TO the British and used by them for
lending troops and supplies Or. Des-
pecher was made an Interpreter between
the British and French. which kept him
very busy all the time. with his many
other duties.
Hardshtps in Army.
As an example OF the hardshlps en-
dured by the French soldiers, nc says
thlt his brother, Frank. went forty
two days without taking his cloth
ing or shoes. or sleeping in a bed while
serving at the front. Another brother s
chateau, northeast OF Paris, was de-
molished when the Germans neared the
French capital a brothor-in-law of the
Omaha man has thirty-eight close rela-
tives in the French army, and their
whereabouts and safety is unknown. Dr
Despecher says:
THE French expected the Germans to
faE ~ hoI or psh
mobilization started, and so l saw no
fighting,
Il talked to many German prisoners at
st. Nazaire, which is 100 miles west Of
Paris. Some of them told me they had
not wanted to go to war. and that the
higher classes and the militarism OF Ger
many were responsible for the conflict
British Big Factor.
There is no doubt how the war will
come out. Great Britain will be the de-
Gliding factor and will make the allies
victorious. The British camp sites are
leased for three years, its recruits are
enlistlng for four years British soldiers
are entering France by whole fleets
rather than shipoads, and British sup
plies are being carried across the chan
mel by the hundreds OF tons all the time
| Everything points TO long war, with
victory for the allies, through Britain's
aid.
/ IF the allies win, there will be an end
/ TO the empires of Germany and Austria
/ Hungary. Separate republics OF the peo-
| pies of different races will take their
place Russia will be the next menacing
/ power to the peace of Europe, and must
/ eventually be dealt with
Germans Drink the Wine.
! French patriotism rs wonderful, and
will see the war through to a settlement
OF Franco-Prusslan differences for all
time. There is plenty of food and money
| in France, and the cost of living in Paris
/ is lower than before the war. The way
the Germans are drinking up French wine
is one reason why France has won vic
tories and taken German prisoners"

HOSPITAL. BILL DROPS
WHEN PUT IN FIGURES

The $240 recently requested of the
city for charity service rendered by
the EpwOrth hospital To injured peo-
pie taken to that institution by the
police dwindled to $50 Friday, upon
the rendering of an itemiZed state
ment requested by the board of
safety. IL appears now that the
amount that had been collected from
such injured patients had been over
looked by the hospital board in MAX
ing the former demand, and that on
closer inspection ii was found that
S156 had been paid by the patients or
their friends. OF the SS4, the report.
which is in full to July 27, shows
that 81 belongs TO the county. The
matter may be referred TO the com
mon council.
The meeting Of the board Friday
was tame. The resignation of George
r. Parker as a patrolman was ac-
cepted. He plans To open a meat mar
ket. Charles II. Archbold. who re-
signed last March after three years
of service on the force to so into the
canvasing business, was reinstated
Friday on his application, and will
succeed Parker.
Chief Kerr again brought up the
matter of summer suits for the pa
trolmen, stating that he had talked
the matter over with the men and
that they all seemed to favor a two
piece light blue serge, TO follow the
outward style of the regular suit
only they hope6 a different company
than made the new suits purchased

that the JailOrs at present employed
are short on proper shoulder pad
ding and stiffening of their garments.
The clothing question, however, was
put over until next spring.
Chief Sibrel of the fire department
is anxious to attend the national con-
ventiOn of fire chiefs at New Orleans

An unusually large crowd attended the

and the crowd dispersed.
Fine music was furnished by the

marks the site of the treaty of Travers
des Sioux. The dedication will be held
to-day Wednesday. and an interesting

Nearly year ago the members of the
chapter decided to erect marker on the
treaty site. They succeeded in locating
large boulder, which, at the time of thu
signing of the treaty, was used to display
the presents that had been provided fU
the Indians. The stone was nearly
covered by earth, but it was brought to
the surface of the ground and mountet
on concrete pedestal. On it has beer
placed a brass tablet which bears the
inscription. This marks the site of the
Treaty of Traverse DIES Sioux, July %.

George LeDuc of Hastings; Mrs. Mary A
Chute of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Grace

letter recently received from General
