Lincoln, Dec. 20. - Especially -
Headquarters Of the Nebraska Ma
tional Guard are now and have been
for two years in the rooms formerly
used by the State Reference bureau
during Legislative sessions. The ref
crcnce bureau has been trying to get
the rooms. but the army refuses to
move. This is not because Of any
apparent hostility on the part OF the
army, but rather because on account
Of the economical program Of the last
legislature the army is without sub
sistance and cannot move without
ftnds.
The army is willing to move as soon
as the Legislature provides the money.
In the meantime the reference bureau
viii move into the private office Of
the speaker and an S. O. S. has been
sent out to the leaders Of the present
session to hurry to town and get busy.

GOLD MAY SEEK OUT
LABOR AFTER WAR
Banker Declares There Win Be
a Scarcity Of Labor in This
Country.
cRITIcrzEs RESERVE ACT

Columbus, O., Dec. 2o.-The four
national sociological and econom-
les societies which have been meeting
here were holding the final sessions
Of their convention today at Ohio
State university. where problems
likely to arise in this country follow
ing the war in Europe and labor prob
lens were being discussed by men OF
national reputation,
The organizations in session here
are the American Economic associa-
ton, the American Sociological soci-
ETY., the American Statistical associa-
ton and the American Association for
Labor Legislation.
"We shall have capital after the
war. but shall not have labor enough
to employ it" George E. Roberts OF
the National City bank oflNew York
said in speaking before the economic
association regarding the situation Of
the United States at the close OF the
European war with special reference
to the gold supply. The labor Of
Europe and the capital Of America
will have to be brought together. Con-
ditions seem TO favor the transfer OF
capital in the form of gold to Europe,
rather than the removal OF the popu-
lation from Europe to America
Criticises Reserve Act.
Mr.. Roberts criticised the new fed.
cral reserve act, saying:
In their anxiety to decentralize
the banking business the authors OF
this act neglected to centralize the
gold reserves, which is the most i'm
portant requisite OF reserve system.
The result is that while the country's
stock Of gold has increased from JAM
uary | to November | by approx.
mateiy $500. 600, 900 the federal reserve
bank OF New York, on which the de-
msnd for gold export must inevitably
fall. has gained less than $S,0000M
and all the federal reserve banks to-
gether have gained less than $l32,-
100000. .
The general monetary situation, the
transfer OF gold to the bank reserves
Of the United States and other coun-
tries and the increased use of paper
money in Europe undoubtedly has,
and will continue to have, an innu-
ence for higher prices. Mr. Roberts
said.

vanced and the latest official an
nouncements OF its progress says:
THE central cut through which the
vessels pass, known as the Sailing
channel, has minimum depth Of
thirty-three feet, and the least width
of channel OF thirty-foot depth is
1870 feet. This is opposite the rock
known as Gibraltar, at the foot Of
the east Culebra slide. This rock ex-
tends into the channel about ITO feet
from the prism line for a distance of
about 200 feet along the axis of the
canal. At other parts between the
Culebra slide and at Cucaracha
slide, as we'll as the channel, has been
dredged to at least thirty feet for the
full width OF 800 feet between the
prism lines.
The dredges Corozal and Paraiso
are at work in the slide area. They

on the work OF drilling and blasting
the rock for the dredges to remove it.
The rock has been considerably re-
duced in size and now extends only
about thirty feet above the. surface OF
the water in the cut. The smaller
dredges have been withdrawn be-
cause only few can work to .advan-
tage in the area to which dredging
is now confined. and the large ones
can operate less extensively"

THE DAY OF THE SOLDIER
By sergt. Stilley, Co. c., 1st Ga. Inf

When it's morning on the border. and
the sun is breaking through,
And the sands begin to glisten like
the good old home town dew.
| look across the river. and it makes
me kind of blue.
When it's morning on the border,
love, my thoughts go back to YOU.
When the sun is in the heavens. and
the air is mighty hot.
And it's hard to breathe and sitting.
and my throat is dry and hot.
I've got to grin and bear it. I've got
to see it through
10 make the burden lighter, Love, nv
thoughts go back to you.
When the sun has passed the borders.
and the after glow is red.
And the silver moon is shining on the
silent desert bed,
I've q feeling kinds Of lonely, liks |
know you are lonely too.
When the sun has passed the border,
Love, my thoughts go back to you.
When the greaser stops his sniping,
and sl1ulking in the sand.
When the raider hies himself away
beyond the Rio Grandc,
And the "Spick" doffs his sombrero
to the old Red. White and Blue.
And it's calm along the border, Love,
then TIL come back to you.

Stories of People Who
Have Discovered America.

I've been keenly interested lately In
the stories told me by people who have
been discovering America this summer
No, I'll not lecture you about how little
we Americans know about our country.
II mainly isn't true. fondiy as We love
to believe It. The average American"
who doesn't exist anyhow. fortunately
knows much more about his own land
than the average anyone else knows
about his blooming little country.
But about these Columbuses who have
been finding out what isn't very gen.
orally known, that the United States
boasts national Fairgrounds unequaled
for scenery and natural advantages In
any country OF the world. They are
fiocling back to town perfectly wild
about what they have seen. Tho men
and women who have been wont to run
over-I always hate those who rub In
their superiority by nonchalantly tell
ing how they have been running over
TO Europe season after season, are in
sisting that It's all mistake; that
there's more and better to see right
here at home that they're never going
abroad again until they've seen every
last shred OF visible scenery in this
country. ct cetera.
They seem to mean II, too. Alaska
is going to have big vogue, from pres
