Yellow Pine and West
Coast Fir Compete Here

Omaha occupies the peculiar posi-
ton Of being the point in the United
States at which yellow pine and west
coast fir come into the closest com
petition. Frank D. Lee, manager OF
the pine department Of the Oregon
Washington Lumber company of
Seattle, made this plain in his con-
versaton today, while stopping off
in Omaha on his way to Chicago.
Omaha is the swapping place.
said Mr.. Lee, where the dealers
swap from fir to yellow pine, and
from pine to fir, in accordance as the
market on one or the other fluctuates.
The yellow pine, however, has an
advantage in the matter of freight
rates over our western stuff,in reach
ing Omaha"
Mr.. Lee says the lumber business
is still somewhat dull on the coast.
The cause, he says, is overproduction,
due to lack of export trade, which
has been hampered by the war.

FORMER NEBRASKA
BOY AT WAR FRONT
H. W. White of Schuyler De-
scribes Y. M. G. A. Endeav-
ors at Dardanelles.
TURKS RESPECTED NAME

H. w. White, an international Sec
rotary of the Young Mems Christian
associa ton, who has been in Egypt
and the Dardanelles territory for a
year, arrived in Omaha yesterday for
brief visit.
Mr.. White is an old Nebraska boy.
He was born at Schuyler and is a
graduate of the University of Ne
braska. His headquarters now are in
New York.
Mr.. White reports some exciting
experiences while engaged in Young
Mems Christian association work
among the soldiers.
Lived in Bomb Proof.
AT Anzac cove in the Dardanelles
country where the Australian troops
were located" said Mr.. White, I'VE
occupied a position that was never
free from shell fire. We dug a hole
in the side of gully, but within three
days the roof was shot away by the
big shells. Then we put up tent and
one of the boys had the happy idea
of painting Y. Nc. A. in large black
letters on the top, in the hope that
the Turkish airmen would respect it.
They did.
I'VE had a bakery on an island
eight miles away and provided the
soldiers with buns and the like from
our ovens. i have seen soldiers wait
from 9 o'clock in the morning until
o'clock for one OF those buns. Their
army rations were nothing but Chi
cago corn beef and bareback and dog
biscuit"
Letters Are Bunched.
Mr.. White also tells about the
Young Mems Christian association
postoffice for the soldiers. "The
army postoffice system is bad" he re-
ports. "One man hadn't heard from
his family for over five months. One
day we gave him forty-three letters"
This afternoon at 4 o'clock Mr..
White will relate some of his expert
ences at the Young Mems Christian
association. This morning at II
o'clock he speaks at the Lowe Ave-
niue Presbyterian church.

our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedicine most success.
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
regulates and strengthens the organising

For forty years 1t has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. It
has also proved invaluable In prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change Of
Life.
Third.-The great number Of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
Of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

Republican Principles Endure;
No Reason 10 Vote for Wilson

John L. Kennedy and Judge A. L.
Sutton.
Those persons who have supposed
that serious minded and successful
business man and lawyer could not be
equal to the emergencies OF state
wide campaign for United States sem
ator should have followed John l..
Kennedy for few days in his tour Of
the First, Fifth and Sixth districts,
where he has campaigned with the re-
spective candidates for congress. As
an all-around good fellow who is able
to make the best Of every situation
Mr.. Kennedy has certainly proved
himself. At Wolbach, while speaking
on the street, a colt nosed its way into
the crowd and listened. That was a
horse on Mr.. Kennedy, but he was
not disturbed. He promptly observed
that it was not a mule colt and in
formed his audience that it must be
a republican and therefore welcome
and entitled to remain. At Grand Is
land. while he was speaking at the
Hall county fair, a flock OF trained
goats was herded by the speakers
stand on the way to a performance.
Mr.. Kennedy watched the clever lit
tie fellows do their act and remarked
good naturedly that if all goats were
that clever he would not mind being
made the goat and he would see to It
that no democrat got his political
goat this fall. At Alma, while address,
ing the Harlan county fair, he was
disturbed by family OF trained seals.
He caught the fun in this and OBJ
served that they were evidently try
ing to seal his political fate. Being
punster myself, thinks |, We'll, they
won't get fur" guess this is good
place to stop. as this line of humor is
rather hazardous at best.

Violent counter attacks by the Ger
mans on almost the entire line of
the French advance in the Somme
region show change in the situation
from the earlier days of the Anglo
French offensive. In the beginning
the Germans concentrated their forces
against the British, apparently consid-
ering the operations Of the French to
the south as of small significance. But
the rapid movement Of the French
troops. together with the Importance
Of the objective for which they are
aiming, has had the effect Of chang
ing the German view and causing the
German commanders to strengthen
their defenses and forces along the
ZINE guarding Peronne and other i'm
portant strategic points.

TEACHERS UNIONS
ARE ATTACKED At
new YORK MEETING
Jacob Loeb's Criticism Spirited
ly Met by Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young at National Education
Association Ses ions -Dr.
Alley for President, Payson
Smith for Vice-President

New York, July 6.-Teachers' unions
were attacked by Jacob Loeb, president
of the board of education of Chicago in
an address here today at a meeting of the
department of school administration held
in connection with the convention Of the
National Education Association. Mrs. FL
la Flagg Young, formerly superintendent
of schools of Chicago, answered Mr.. Loeb
in a spirited defence of the principle. Off,
cials Of school boards, Mrs. Young said in
a sharp reioinder, would know more about
school affairs if they sent their own chill
dren to the public schools instead Of pr-
vate SCHOOLS. Teachers, she added, have
become workers in a mill and do what
they are told to do. They join unions, sne
asserted, only when they realize that
the men in their station are unwilling to
do anything for them"
DR.. Robert J. Alley. president of the
University Of Maine. was nominated to-
day fou, president Of the association. No
action. however, will be taken until to-
morrow. Among other nominations sub
mitted was that of Payson Smith, Massa-
chusetts. for vice president.

French and British
Reorganize for the
SecondWest Attack
Results of Staff Conferences by Allies Plainly
Apparent in Coordination of Offensive on All
Fronts-Newspaper Dissatisfied

London. July 6.-The results Of the
staff conferences of the allies in Lon
don in May and June are becoming
continually more apparent in the CO.
ordination Of the allied attacks on the
Teutonic forces and increasing evil
dence Of the initiative passing from the
Teutons to the allies at almost all
points.
AS the French and British armies
now are engaged in reorganizing and
preparing for the second phase Of the
battle of the Somme, there is a compar-
ative lull on the western front, and
Russia again takes the center of the
stage. Today's news from Petrograd is
highly important in the light Of the
future development of the Somme bat
tie. The news that the Russians have
captured 5000 prisoners on the Dniester
front appears to leave little doubt of
the collapse of the Austrian forces be-
tween Buczacz and Stanisla, which
will greatly affect the army Of Gen
Won Bothmer. compelling him to re-
tire northward, while the advance on
Delatyn and the railway cuts Of Both
mer from his base.
The prospect of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg being able to make an eff
fective diversion is believed here to be
dwindling and while the Germans are
desperately engaged in trying to meet
the Russian offensive at Baranavochi
the Russian general Katalines is de-
veloping a strong attack on both sides
Of the Kiev-Kovel railway
The question arises among military
men here as to how Germany can come
to the assistance Of her Austrian al
lies without further denuding her
forces on the western 'front.' and it is
considered impossible for Austria to
risk Withdrawing more of her own
troops from the Italian front.
Dissatisfaction again is being voiced
by the British newspapers at the mad
equacy and vagueness of the British
official reports. The reticence or silence
Of Gen. Sir Douglas Haig's commune
cations on important points is compar-
ed with the readiness with which the
French and Russian commanders give
details of the operations and with the
greatly increased latitude permitted to
special correspondents on the western
front since the beginning Of the battle.
That the British authorities fully
realize that their hard task is far from
ended is indicated by the steps which
are being taken by the ministry Of
munitions for the cessation Of holidays
for munition workers during July. !.
