Discharged Soldier
Is Beaten and Robbed

Fearfully beaten and in a pitiful
condition, James Kelley, "a years of
age, hailing from Philadelphia, was
found Sunday locked in a boxcar at
Sixth and Jones streets, where on
Thursday night he had been lured,
strongarmed and robbed by four
men. Kelly was recently discharged
from the army at Jefferson Barracks,
Mo-, and was just recovering from
an attack of pleurisy when he ar
rived in Omaha Thursday evening,
on freight train. Shortly after his
arrival he met two white men, who
were later joined by two negroes.
Kelly accompanied the quartet to
Sixth and Jones, where they sud
denly sprang upon him, and after
administering a terrible beating, took
$40, his hat, coat and shoes, threw
him into a boxcar and fastened the
door. 1t was here he was found
more dead than alive, by a car
checker, Sunday morning. After re-
ceiving medical treatment at the
hands of DR.. Barney Kulakofsky
Kelly was removed to St. Joseph S
hospital, where his condition is re-
ported to be decidedly serious.

Hughes Starts Upon
First Real Vacation
Within Ten Years

Bridehampton, N. Y, July a.
Charles E. Hughes, the republican
presidential nominee, here on his
first real vacation in ten years, today
took motor drive and spent the re-
mainder of the day just lolling about.
The justice had few callers. To
those who saw him, the nominee
made plain his intention of spending
all the time he could before the cam
paign in relaxation. Preliminary
work will be concentrated into two
or three days week, which he will
spend in New York.
The actual campaign probably will
begin the latter part OF August.
In framing his speech of acceptance,
on which he worked for time today,
Mr.. Hughes has at his disposal the
views of virtually all the chief party
leaders and progressives with whom
he has conferred since his nomination.
Suggestions from Roosevelt, Taft,
Root, Wickersham and others, jotted
down by the nominee while they
were fresh in mind, have been placed
on a portfolio for use. They will be
consulted and from selections which
he makes Mr.. Hughes will frame his
speech, adapting them to his own
ideas.

President Needs YOU
The Call on Posters

Posters bearing this inscription
were received today from the office
Of Adjutant General Hall and disl
played conspicuously at the Nebraska
mobilization camp. This action was
deemed necessary in the face OF the
many guardsmen eliminated by reason
of physical disability and discharged
by order of Governor Morehead.
In the meantime enlistments are 60
ing forward with considerable energy
at the state fair grounds camp. In
order to hasten filling out the COM
panies' complement two enlisted men
from every company that is short
we're ordered today to their home
town to secure recruits. Unless an
emergency call should come from the
War department, the two Nebraska
regiments will make no effort to move
for the border within five days.

BALANCE IN ALL FUNDS

ments. The total amount In the
treasury at the close Of the month
amounted to nearly $2,400, 900. ,.i
The report given out by State
Treasurer Hall shows balance in
every fund. The sttement of the
treasurer shows that the state holds
bond investments amounting ia
$o,672, ,268, which makes a showing
with fnuds on hand indicating that
the state educational fund will run
up to about $10,000,000.
The conditions existing is the re-
suit of compelling county treasurers
to remit monthly, which keeps the
state treasury in a condition to meet
obligations promptly. However
there are four counties which the
report shows are delinquent. Ar.
thur county for May, Blaine foi
April and May, Sarpy for May, and
Valley for May. The treasurers oi
these counties are thus liable for the

FACES HARD CONDITIONS
TO CORRECT FALSE IDEA

New York, July 2.-Thomas Nelson
Page, American ambassador to Italy,
sailed on the steamship St. Paul to re-
turn to his post. He said upon his
departure to an Associated Press rep
rescntative: I
"In reply to your question which
indicates what | have so often re-
marked, the want of general infor-
nation in America as to the part
which Italy has taken in the struggle
on the side of the allies. | would
say that nothing has surprised me
more than the idea to which you
refer that Italy has taken less active
part than the other members OF this
alliance in the serious operations of
the war.
Can Correct Impression.
1T is not for me to discuss either
the policies or the parts that diff
ferent members Of the alliance on
either side have played in this terrible
contest, but certainly ! can correct
an impression as erroneous as that
which | find quite general in this
country as to the point you mention,
for the facts are no secret among
those who have had opportunities for
knowing them.
Il may not give my own opinion
on policies, but it is certain that the
Italian statesmen felt that the vital in
terest of Italy demanded that it
should at whatever cost of blood and
treasure take its stand with the allies
and that on this depended not only its
present, but its future. II is also the
conviction of all who have had oppor-
tunity for observation that no coun-
try has put forth greater efforts in
proportion to its strength than Italy,
or has met the losses and borne the
sufferings which the war has caused
with greater fortitude.
| Difficult to penetrate.
"A glance at the map and even
little, knowledge of the history Of the
relations between Italy and Its chief
opponent, show any one the extra
ordinary difficulties which Italy has
e surmount TO make afy--even the
least advance in the mountain region
IN which Austria fixed the boundaries
between them when it turned Venice
over to France after the battle Of
Sadowa. No more difficult region to
penetrate exists along any front.
"Of one thing you may be certain.
Italy like every other country in the
war feels its vital interest-one might
say its very life--to be at stake, and
Is putting forth every effort that 1t
is capable of in the fight. OF Its cour-
age and its endurance and fortitude
there can be no question il one con-
siders the history Of Resorgimento
than which there is no more glorious
page in the history Of the world.
And It is not only the men, but the
women of Italy also, who are doing
their utmost. There is not a woman
in Italy, so far as know, Of high or
low degree who is not doing her part
for Italy"
