Thompson and Bryan
Both in Washington
cFrom a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16-(Special Tele-
gram -simultaneously with the arrival
OF ex-Secretary Of State Bryan in Wash
ington, there appeared on the register OF
the Willard hotel the names OF w. H
Thompson OF Grand Island and G. w,
McConnaughy OF Holdrege, president Of
the Tri-County Supplemental Water assO-
citation. Mr.. Bryan came east TO see his
new grandchlld, the daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Hargraves, Mrs. Bryan having occu-
pied the home on Calumet Place for sey-
oral weeks.
Judge Thompson OF Grand Island. who
is a strong candidate for the vacancy on
the federal bench of Nebraska. came to
Washington not as a candidate, but as
counsel for the Tri- County association,
Of which Mr.. McConnaughy is president.
and through his efforts a conference will
be held with Secretary Lane OF the In
terror department tomorrow looking to
the construction Of canal from a point
near Lexington. in Dawson county, with a
terminus in Kearney county, for the pur-
pose of utilizing the flood waters of the
Platte river for irrigation purposes.
An engineer of the Interior department
has surveyed the ground contemplated
for irrigation, and It was for the pur-
pose of emphasizing the report that
Judge Thompson and Mr.. McConnaughy
decided to see the secretary of the in
terror. When 1t Is considered that a
millionaire feet OF water goes TO waste
In the Platte river every year. II is no
wonder that the people living in Gosper,
Phelps and Kearney counties on the
Platte river want some of that water II
they can get the government interested
in constructing a canal from a point west
of Lexington to a point In Kearney
county on the Platte river, using the
water that is otherwise dumped In the
Mississippi watershed. they expect to
make that section of Nebraska a garden
spot.
Instead Of building great reservoirs
as contemplated In the Newlands bill,
we plan to lead the waters off into the
semi-arid sections of the west" said Mr..
McConnaughy, ''and use the soil as reser-
voirs. Then you have the ideal reservoir
at infinitely less expense. but with larger
I opportunities to those who locate along
those water courses.
I'VE want Nebraska to be a pioneer
In this matter. and that is why we are
here for a conference with SECRETARY
Lane. Ex-Secretary Bryan will be with
Us in our conference"

OMAHA GERMANS
ENTER A PROTEST
Adopt Resolutions Against LOoa
Bankers Assisting in Billion
Dollar Loan.
MAKE CALL UPON THE BANKERS

Omaha citizens OF German descent
and sympathies have adopted resolu-
lions protesting against the $1,000
100000 loan to the allies by Amer
lean bankers and have demanded
that local bankers refrain from par
ticipating in the gigantic deal to give
the Franco-British nations new
financial stimulus. However, the
bankers here are divided upon the
question and incline toward consid-
erlng the proposition from a purely
business standpoint, without regard
to neutrality or sympathies in the
war.
So far officers OF the big national
banks OF Omaha profess TO know nothing
more OF the proposed 81, 200, 10000 loan
than has appeared In press dispatches
from the east. But a rumor spread
among local German-Americans was 70
the effect that at least one Omaha bank
was preparing to subscribe to the loan.
A committee headed by Val j. Peter,
German editor. called upon the directors
OF the bank In question and was assured
that the allies loan had not even been
considered here and that the rumor was
without foundation.
Condemns the Loan.
Omaha Jendwehr Verein. the local Cor
man veterans society. held q meeting
Wednesday evening at the German Home
and after stirring patriotic speeches unan-
imousy adopted resolutions condemning
the proposed loan TO the allies and call
ing upon Omaha banks to refrain from
Joining in the big deal.
Let New York sympathizers OF the
allies sacrifice their money IL they will"
declared Val Peter, but let us keep our
money here in the west"
Speaking of the unfounded rumor that
Omaha banks might subscribe to the loan
Cashier T. l.. Davis OF the First Ma.
tlonRl bank said:
1--WE hardly believe the allies loan will
be Offered in the west, at least not
through national banks.

SUNDAYS RESULTS.
Fort De Russy 26, 2nd infantry IL
Engineers 4s, Signal Corps II.

Two important basketball games,
the results Of which will have a good
deal to do with the final standings of
the teams in the Service League,
were played en-, the armory court Sat
urday evening and Sunday afternoon.
Saturday the National Guard won a
tough game from the Department
Hospital and yesterday afternoon the
Fort De Russy team, which has been
coming like a whirlwind recently,
trimmed the End Infantry outfit In
decisive style. The win OF the Guard
team was not exactly surprise. al
though the Hospital outfit was consid-
cred a formidable combination, but
the defeat Of the End Infantry by
Capt Walters aggregation was only
considered by those who Witnessed
the Guard-De Russy game earlier in
the week At that time it was noted
that the Coast Artillerymen haa
made wonderful improvement in team
play, and among close followers of the
game II was predicted that the Sec
ond was about due for fall.
The weekend games made all sorts
Of changes in the percentage table.
The End Infantry drops from first to
second place, while the Guard goes
back to the top. The Alerts get into
third place and the Hospital drops
from third to fifth, white Tie Engi-
neers move into the first division.
De Russy, Signal Corps and Arm
strong retain their relative positions.
q The Department Hospital team
thoughtfuliy brought along its goat
Saturday night and by the laws of
land warfare this should have fjec6lne
the property Of the, National Guard.
However, as the Guard players have
quite a herd at The present time, they
waived claim and the goat went back
to the harmless ward of the hospital.
with considerably less ceremony than
1t came
In the second game Saturday night
the Alerts were out to apply the
whitewash brush to Armstrong and
this they succeeded In doing, although
the gunners made as game fight as
anyone could wish for. The main
trouble with the Armstrong team is
that It does not practise nearly as
regularly as the other clubs in the
league. Some good coaching and sys-
tematie practise would do wonders
for Fort Armstrong.
The Signal Corps again sprung
some new players yesterday after
noon. There have been continual
changes in this combination, which
is enc reason why it is still shy on
team work.
The next games are down for We'd
nesday afternoon, when the Alerts
will play the Signal Corps in the
opener, and the Department Hospital
goes against De. Russy. This last
game should be hummer.
