Omaha Ready for Grand Opera Now;
Auditorium Good Place to Hear Music
Associated Retailers Course
Offers Unusual Opportunity
in Presenting Greatest
Of Living Artists.

Omaha is putting in toierably
busy fall entertaining distinguished
guests, but the bulk Of the citizens
of the Nebraska metropolis have not
lost sight of the fact that within the
next few months they are to be re-
called by the worlds most famous"
in music
In the approaching Associated Re-
tailers' course Omahans will have the
opportunity to hear stars who have
thrilled the diamond horseshoe crowd
in the Metropolitan, and will do the
same here--but local music lovers will
not be compelled to pay what the
fasteners do for the privilege.
Omaha is fortunate in having an
auditorium where no particular sec
ton is much better than the others
for hearing. The acoustics of the
huge municipal building are such that
one seat is practically as good as an
other, so far as hearing is concerned.
This was demonstrated again Thurs
day evening when President Wilson
spoke to crowd of several thousand
persons. Those in the rear and side
seats and in the balcony averred aft
erward that they could hear the presi-
dent distinctly, even from the ex-
treme corners Of the big auditorium.
Many subscribe to the grand opera
and concert course have expressed
themselves as desiring seats on the

SEIZE DUTCH VESSELS
One Hundred Ships from Fish
ing Fleet Before British
Prize Court.
HOLLAND IS D1sPLEAsED

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 28.-;
Great Britain, which has been regard
ing with growing displeasure the pro-
risioning of Germany with fish from
Holland has now brought the matter
to a head by seizure OF some 100 YES
sells of the Dutch fishing feet, and
they are now lying under arrest in
the Scotch ports of Peterhead, Abb
erdeien, berwick and Kirkwall I'm
less an arrangement is reached, they
are apparently to be taken before the
British prize court on the ground
that their catches are contraband, be-
+ cause the final destination thereof is
Germany.
Even before the war, Germany was
the best customer OF the Dutch fisher
men, but the effect OF the maratime
blockade Of the allies has been to SO
greatly increase that countrys pur-
chases on the fish market here as to
give il practical monopoly .of Hol-
lands exports. The net export OF
N&llous .s0rts " sedTnsngsm Iecent
years has amounted to about 10000
tons al year; representing value OF
between -S8,000p00 and S12,0oo,000.
Partlyfas result Of less competition
on the fishing grounds of the North
Sea and consequent bigger catches,

THE LAWS nE THE 1.ANn

The field secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce Of the United States Mr. Ed
ward Trefz, has been counting the laws
passed by Congress and by the State Legis-
latures In the last five years He reports
grand total of 62.250. The contrast with
the number OF laws passed by the British
Parliament in 10 years, 1900 in all, is
either painful or magnificent, as you choose
to view It. To Mr.. Trefz Il is painful
He suggests that we. the people, are "law
crazy" Perhaps he has not taken into
account the fact that an American legis-
lator measures his craftsmanship by the
number of bills he gets passed. "At last
this district has come into it's own" the
hero tells the voters. II have secured the
passage Of the bill permitting the taking
of seven-inch porgies In Buttermllk Brook
on rainy Thvssdays In May. In spite of
the opposition of the bosses 1 have put on
the books a statute allowing noiseless bou-
quet holders to be placed on motor cars
costing less than $3.50. Send me back and
/ pledge you that / shall not rest until l
have passed law abolishing sharp corners
on dog biscuit"
What would happen to legislator who
to his constituents; II did not make a new
law. but 1 voted for the repeal of SO idlotlc
ones. and hope next year to prevent our
august body from passing any laws at alp'7
He would be stoned as a stand-patter and
as an obstructlonlst. Life will
not be perfect until each citizen has n code

TREATMENT OF "DRUNKs"
TO tho Editor Of Evening Ledger.

TO tho Editor Of EveninO Ledger:
SIr-I read Mr.. Glbboneys letter and
your editorial headed mo Purchase of Lo-
cal Option" Between you and him IL seems
about a draw, or, in other words, both are
right in some particulars. But the way
look at II, the idea is to find way to
prevent people drinking to excess and still
a question Of moral suasion, just the same
as persuading people to eschew coffee drink
ing or smoking by showing them that in
many cases 1t shortens life and makes for
n whole lot Of misery. To begin with, no
person under the influence of intoxicants
should be treated as a criminal and locked
UP with thief or a fighter, as is usual
nowadays.
1 think long step forward would be
made IL people arrested for being drunk
and disorderly were detained only until
they were thoroughly sober, instead of being
sent to prison and then allowed to 60 on
the promise to report every three days for
"once-over," as we say In slang. 1 think
1t Is about time we practlced a little hu-
manity In dealing with such cases. because
it is not the Individual who suffers the
most for his weakness, but all who know
him, and particularly those who may be de-
pendent on him or doing business with him
This rum question Is probably the most
important In the world, and because IL is
so we are in duty bound to settle Il rea-
sonably and justly. Some of us that are
so strong ought to remember our brothers
that are weak and not be so hot to con-
denim them. We all have a weakness. If IL
is not In one sense, It may be in another.
IL 1t does not trouble us now, how do we
know when 1t may appear either in our
selves or those near and dear to u.s.?

HELP AT HOME

To the Editor of EUeniH0 Ledger.
Sir-During the Spanish-American War
It was my privilege to have taken a double
course of lectures on first aid, and after
receiving my diploma 1 was ready to go to
the front. but my family persuaded me not
TO go. Being eager to do some work, the
thought occurred TO me to do convalescent
work in Philadelphia under the Emergency
Aid Committee, Of which / was an organiz-
ing member. We opened a convalescent
shelter on 4th street near Callowhill. The
work we did was to take the boys from the
various hospitals after suffering from ty-
phoid and other fevers upon their return
and keep them until they were ready to be
furthered to their own homes. and then We
returned them TO the hospital whence they
came. Mrs. Mary Barr, a nurse, assisted
me in taking charge OF the shelter for
three months or more. There were $50
boys cared for. The work was wonderful
and, 10 my mind. we did better work than
had we gone TO the front. One bsnefac-
tor among very many others was J. ID.
Lit, who each day sent us as many new,
crisp dollar bills as boys were leaving that
day. and Mrs. Barr ana myself invariably
slipped into the dormitories of the boys
during the night and placed a bill in their
pants pocket. 1t Is needless 70 say that
they all came In penniless. DR.. Justin
Schwerin and DR., Sig. Cans also assisted US.
II such a shelter could be operated In
Atlantic City it would be marvellous, as
there Is not spot on earth equal to H.
Ground owners, / am sure, would donate
their ground 70 put up tents, etc. Then. IN
the full sense could We DO prepared work
Our energy then would not be misplaced
Duriag that time the late J. J. Snsllen-
burg donated thousands of Housewives, had
