NEBRASKA'S YOUTH OFFER LIVES;
REST BUY LIBERTY BONDS TODAY

And grasping in his nervous hand
The imaginary battle-brand,
In face Of death he dared to fling
Defiance to tyrant king.
Even as he spoke, his frame, renewed,
In eloquence of attitude,
Rose, as 1t seemed, a shoulder higher;
Then swept his kindling glance OF fire
From startled pew to breathless choir;
When suddenly his mantle wide
His hands impatient flung aside,
And, 10, he met their wondering eyes
Complete in all warriors guise.

Achievement OF u. S.
RECOGNIZED IN LONDON
Newspapers Comment on Advance
Made in Short Period Since
Country Entered War.

LONDON, May 29.-Yesterday's official
statement concerning the war prepare
>tions of the United States holds a prom
inent place in the news columns of to-
days newspapers under big headlines.
1t also is the subject of several edi-
toria1s, which recognize the remark
able achievement Of the United States
in SO short 4 time since that country
entered the war.
The Daily Telegraph says the state
ment more than confirms the general
judgment that American Intervention
very greatly limits the possibilities of
prolongation of the war and adds
enormously to the reserve strength of
the allies. Some of the commentators
point out that, great as is the achieve
ment described in the official announce
ment, it is actually considerably
greater, as nothing is said concerning
the plans for ship building, the supply
ing of food and Industrial mobilization
aviation contribution as the most
striking feature Of the plans. and ex-
presses the opinion that the United
States in this has a chance for exert
ing direct military influence of the
first moment within the present year
and in securing for the allies total
domination of the air on the western
front.
The Daily Mail thinks the greatest
achievement has been the adoption of
CONSUMPTION. which 1T says is a revolu-
tionary step, and shows how greatly
the United States has profited by
British experience. The Daily Express
says It sees in Americas .'fne spirit"
a rather painful contrast to the atti-
tude of French Canadians who are
riotously protesting against conscrip-
ton.

MANN WHITE SLAVE LAW
Frank A. Nelson Held Under $4,000
Bond-other Charges Pending
Against Him.

Frank Allen Nelson of Seattle,
Wash. who was arrested in this city
Saturday night as result Of an inves-
tigatfon conducted by the police de-
partment and the Department of Jus
tice. occupied a seat in the dock at
Police Court this morning. Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given
preferred against him a charge of vio-
1ating the Mann white slave act, De-
tective James E. Armstrong swearing to
the complaint.
Mr.. Given directed the attention of
Judge Pugh to the case and asked for
continuance for one week, which was
granted. Two other complaints against
the defendant are being Investigated,
the attorney said, but he thought he
would be unable to question the wit
nesses before Thursday at the earliest.
I'm view of the charge pending
against him and the fact that the other
cases are under investigation" said
Mr.. Given. II feel justified in asking
that bond be fixed at $1,000
The court granted the government
plea for continuance and fixed the
bond at the amount suggested. AL
though Mr.. Given gave 10 intima ton
of the other charges under investiga-
ton. 1t is said that they involve an
allegation that he had posed as Senator
Nelson and Representative Nelson.
In the white slave case It is charged
that he induced, coerced and persuaded
Mrs. Irene Spies to accompany him
from Seattle to this city for immoral
purposes. The young woman is de-
tanned at the house of detention as a
United States witness.

Doing Duty to All the Men,

Yet he was doing his duty to all the
men,, SAID MIR. Hoover. There was no
inconsistency about his action. These
men on the grievance COMMITTEES were
charged with the duty of REPRESENTING
all the men. and if they were unfafth.
full to that duty. then the responsibility
rests upon them"
Senator Pittman suggested that he
cause three men had not been faithful
to their duty was no reason why the
company should>have refused the offer
of the District Commissioners to see az
the controversy could not be settled
through mediation. Mr. Hoover re-
piled that the company had no assur-
ance from any one that the recognition
of the union would be waived and that
was the one point that the company
insisted upon.
"If the District Commissioners had
said to the company. we can eliminate
the amalgamated. then we might have
gotten somewhere. That was the crux
of the whole matter"
Reverting to the testimony of Conn
missioner Brownlow. Mr.. Hoover asked
Mr.. King what he had said at the con-
ference with the Commissioner in rela-
tion to the police department
Mr.. King denied that he had called
the police fiat and sleek" He said
that his remark about giving the no.
lice something to do had been made
in an entirely jocular way and that
he was surprised that 1t had ever come
up again. In relation to the testimony
of Commissioner Brownlow that Mr..
King had remarked to him there would
be no agreement next year. at the time
the negotiations of 1916 were being
Mr.. King denied that he had
made any such statement except with
reference to the Amalgamated.

URGES PUBLIC ECONOMY
TO MEET WAR DEMANDS
E. A. Filene of Boston Thinks u. s.
Should Profit by England's
Experience.

A statement by Edward A. F'ilene of
Boston. director of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States, con-
demning arguments against war econ
omy, has been given out by the govern
ment's information committee:
Business has but one job today"
said Mr.. Filene, land that Is to do the
thing that will bring victory at the
earliest possible moment. And busi-
ness cannot serve two masters. Even
before the war our productive capacity
was taxed to the limit. We simply
cannot fill all the added demands Of
war and at the same time satisfy all
of the appetites of peace. Our job is
the business Of war, not business as
usual While I recognize the patri-
otto purpose back of the business as
usual slogan. it will prolong the war
and hamper the fighting effectiveness
of the nation every day 1t is practiced
England went about business as
usual at the beginning of the war
After two years and a half of loss of
blood and treasure and tragic want of
supplies she has learned her lesson.
II business is not redirected to the
production and sale of essentials by the
voluntary and gradual economy of the
people. it will have to be done later
by drastic and probably disturbing
methods of government control"
