Address of John L. Webster.
The present relationship of the
United States, and especially of this
western country towards England

world history" said Mr.. Webster.
THE seven years war of the revo-
luton was war against England to
obtain the independence of the colon
les and for the opportunity to create
a representative government based on
the principles of personal liberty. In
that war, France was our friend as
against England. Lafayette, the SOL
dier and aide to General Washington,
and Rochambeau, the admiral Of the
French feet, for the service which
they rendered to our forefathers,'
created between the two nations a
bond of friendship and debt of ma
tional obligation which the United
States should never forget. During

ALLEGED
OMAHA SLACKERS
ARE ARRESTED
Harvey Kyner, Anton Mes.
proye and Tommy White
Accused of Failure to
Register for Draft.

Three alleged slackers were ar
rested in Omaha Tuesday. Harvey
Kyner, a conductor for the street rail-
way company, was arrested by Dep
uty United States Marshal Quinley
for failure to register for the selective
draft. Keyrer claims he is riut oi
age and that he falsifed his age in
order to get his position as conductor.
His home is in Eusts, Neb Deputy
Quinley talked by telephone with
his father who declared that Harvey
will be 20 years old in August. He is
being held for further investigation.
Anton Nesproye, 1909 South Eight
eenth street, was arrested. He is re-
ported to have voted at the last cleo
ton, giving his age as 27. He says
he got balled up" on his age, which,
he says, is the reason why he did not
register.
Tommy" White, colored who is
serving a a/sentence of seven days i'll
the county jail, did not register.
Tommy, was ready with an eX-
cuse., II had my leg broken once" he
said, "and it's bigger than the other
one. ] went to the registration board
and they told me | didn't have to
register"
Alibi Falls Short.
This story, in view of the fact that
every man between the ages of 2l to
81 must register, did not go and
Tommy" will have to answer 10
charge of not registering.
The officers are on the track of
many other slackers and more arrests
will follow soon.
Deputy United States Attorney
Saxton, who has just returned from
the Winnebago Indian reservation,
says about forty Winnebagos and
ten Omahas have failed TO register
This was largely on account Of

Washington, June l2AThe War

THE cavalry, engineers, coast ar
tillery, signal corps and quartermas-
ter corps of the regular army have
already been brought to war strength"
says an official statement.
"Forty-tive thousand recruits are
needed at once to complete the new
regiments of infantry and field artil-
lery. Twenty-Five thousand additional
recruits are desired at the earlist pos
sible date to fill vacancies in order
that the war strength of 100000 men
may be maintained.
Facilities in Readiness.
Facilities are in readiness for
placing these 10000 men under proper
training. Any delay in obtaining this
number will necessarily cause the loss
of invaluable time.
at is the earnest desire of the War
that 10000 single men be-
tween the ages of 18 and 40, who have
no dependents and who are not en-
gagged in professional work, bust
nesses or trades vitally necessary to
the prosecution Of the war, be enlisted

COMMITTEE ASKS
WAGE BOOST FOR
OMAHA TEACHERS
Submits Recommendation to
Boost Maximum Salary of
the Grade School Teachers
From ST, 900 to Sl,100.

Chairman Reed of the finance COM
mittee of the Board of Education last
night submitted for future considera-
ton a recommendation that grade
school teachers be granted all increase
of pay beginning September |, 1918.
The proposition is that teachers re-
ceiving the present maximum of
$1,000 a year shall be raised to a
maximum of $l,l00, and that those re-
ceiving below the maximum to re-
ceivc an increase OF $50 each year
plus the existing automatic yearly in
crease, the maximum in all cases TO
be $l,l00.
This would have the effect of rais-
ing the minimum from 5000 to $3.50.
The committee recommended that
readjustment OF principals salary be
worked out later by the board.
1t was further recommended that
teachers be paid in twelve annual pay
ments, beginning with their summer
vacation, which would nean, if the
recommendations should be approved,
that the teachers would receive dur-
ing the coming vacation part OF next
school years salary. The present sys-
TEN is to pay in ten monthly INSTALL
ments.
Add S75,o0o to Budget.
= The proposed increase for grade
teachers would add $4,000 TO the
school budget. They asked for an
increase OF Is per cent, or approxi-
mately total of $l75,000
The board will discuss the propo-.
sition at the regular meeting next
Monday evening.
The finance and teachers commit
tees did not deem it wise to grant any
increase during the next school year
because of the condition of the school
district finances, which show deficit
at this time. The school board will
certify TO the county board new
levy on August |, in the sum of at
least 81 mills and may go to the
limit OF IS mills as authorized by the
last legislature. The former maxi
mum mills levy for this school district
was Is mills, but loss of liquor license
revenue necessitated an increase in
the mills levy.

SOME STARTLING INCREASES.
Prior to that all members of the

ty assessor and the county clerk, pro-
fessed to know nothing Of the gigantic
raises save what they had read in The

Sof1e of the boosts, as shown in fig
ures in the county assessors records
and based on the returned tax sched-
ules and the amounts assessed, are
startling.
The star increase of the list is that
of Mrs. Joslyn, widow Of the late
George A. Joslyn, whose estate she
has inherited and whose personal
schedule has been raised from $780,
725 to $4,6l5,265. ~-,..,

raising that establishment from $685.
