Bile, nay, probable doom? For every

directors of the U-boat activities,
The hotilla, the armada, the Con-
voyed feet of old is the one only real
protection for our or any other sea
trade these perilous times.
Don't let vessels so singly, how
ever we'll armed; make them wait until
ten or a dozen are ready, or have reg
ular sailing dates when a powerful
convoy, a couple OF warships and a,
lot OF scouts and speedy craft can
escort them across. With so many
eyes awatch, so many guns ready, the
U-boat that will show its periscope in
the vicinity OF such feet is indeed
valorous craft. At worst one boat
might be picked off. Certainly no such
havoc as is being wreaked today
would be possible The slight delay
i'll sailing is negligible objection.
Storms may scatter such a hotilla.
That's one of the possibilities that
confront those who go down into the

Twenty Thousand Acres of
u. p. Land to BE Cultivated

The campaign of the Union Pacific
railroad to bring the SPARE land along
its right-of-way under cultivation has
met with great success.
Approximately 10000 acres will be
under cultivation in 1917. Including
the branch lines, the right-of-way of
the Union Pacific is almost $4,000
miles long, and the right-of-way
acres which will be used for raising
God crops during the coming summer,
if all in one piece, would make strip
Of land approximately 100 feet wide
and 1900 miles long. .-
Most of this land has been leased to
the owners~of adjoining farms at a
nominal rental of 81 per year. Some
of it has. been under cultivation in
previous years, but the recent appeal
of President Wilson for cooperation
in increasing the farm yield of the
country has given tremendous I'M
oetus to the extended use of these
'ight-of-way acres.

had been in the habit of taking grain
from the cars.
Merriam Benncr, 10 years, the
youngest, said he was the 'jigger,"
and kept watch while his companions
we're in the car. Somehow, he said,
he did not have time to give the alarm
before Officer Palmtag swooped down
upon him.
The boys we're: Elmer, IS; Paul,

Central Cadets Camp Will
$ Probably Be at Valley

The Central High school cadet en-
campment will probably be- held at
Valley, Neb., again this year. A COM
mittee representing the faculty and
cadet officers looked over several
prospective camping grounds last
week, but found none that was as
satisfactory as the field used last year.
Both Bennington and Papillion made
good offers to the high school au-
thorities. The field at Bennington was
found to be too close to town. That
at Papillion was found to be too small
for the purpose.
The encampment this year prom
ises to be a greater success than eyer
before, with the country at war. The
cadets will be given practical training
which will give them better idea OF
army life. A shooting range will
probably be set up and the cadets
trained in craftsmanship.
The attempt to establish ten-day
camp has been voted down by the
faculty, being practically impossible
on account of the lack of funds.

bring the grand total Of Omaha's
muster roll up to 1888.
Rush to the Colors.
Many young men prefer to volun-
teer, rather than wait till they are
drafted. This is the cause Of the big
rush, recruiting officers say. The
officers expect this week to bring
still greater number of volunteers.
During the first five days Of May,
664 men joined the army alone, an
average OF 1873 per day.

ton has been notified that his district
is expected to furnish quota OF
4,Sl0 men in the period beginning
April and ending thirty days after
the final passage OF the draft bill.
The district has already produced
1876 army enlistments. At the pres
ent rate, the remaining 1884 men
will be recruited within three weeks,
and the draft bill is still pending in
congress.
Navy to Fill Quota.
A quota of 800 navy recruits was
assigned for enlistment in this dis
trict between March 81 and May 5.
Lieutenant Waddell's staff lacked
eighty-three OF filling that quota Sat
urday night. He expects to fill it by
Tuesday.
After the present authorized navy
complement of $500 men is filled,
navy recruiting officers stationed i'll
Omaha have instructions to help the
marine corps and army get men. The
navy complement may be increased
by 62,500 men, if congress passes a
bill now pending.

CARTER LAKE CLUB

Governor Neville Will Lead
Ceremony .on May 80 by
Burning the Mortgage.
MANY NEW IMPROVEMENTS

How would you like TO sail the
bounding pillows at Carter lake this
summer, astride a monster amphi-
bicus dinosaur?
Or perhaps you'd rather do your
summer water travelling on the lake,
riding the tail Of a sea serpent, or
maybe, whale, or shark, or pre-
historic sea-horse, or an alligator?
DR.. J. B. Fickes, one of the several
members of Carter Lake club pos
sessing lively imaginations, is the
father of the strange water menag-
erie that will be seen this summer
at the Carter Lake club water front.
That is, he is the father of the idea.
The monsters will, of course, all be
wooden ones, properly saddlcd and
buoyed.
Only New Feature.
This will only be one of the many
new and startlingly pleasant features
noticeable when the club has its
opening, May 80.

ated by the burning Of the club mort

by Governor Keith Neville. After
this ceremony there will be a pro-
gram which will include everything

accommodating.

house. committee, is pushing the work
in the club house, smoothing the

The locker system is being
changed and improved in the bath
house, the flower beds are being pre-
