Soft Snap, Says Burnside

"A berth in the Omaha Ambulance

clares Sergeant Frank Burnside, u.

There are a number Of young men
who are picking the company as a
soft spot, but believe me, when they
get through their regular drills they
will change their minds"
The FIRST drill of the company will
be held Monday night at the Audi

cided to have three drill nights a
week. one on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.
The first drill will consist of fac
ings and squad formations. After
this he will take up battalion and then
finally company formations.
Although hospital men carry re-
volvers, Sergeant Burnside said he
would not teach them the manual of

After the ambulances arrive, he said,
he would devote most of the time to

Omaha to CurtaiI Some
OF Its Noise on Fourth

The Fourth OF July celebration in
Omaha will undoubtedly be curtailed
to considerable extent.
The price Of fireworks and powder
are unusually high, and there is a
tendency among improvement clubs
not to do any wasteful celebrating
with the country at war. The Fon-
tenelle and Hanscom park COM
mittees, which have heretofore held
elaborate celebrations at night, will
devote the day to speech-making, out
door sports and flag-raising exercises.
Redoubled efforts will be made by
the Nebraska National Guard regi-
ments to swell their number, and
parades and speeches will be held on
many downtown streets.
Should the demand for an old-time
Fourth celebration in the hope of
arousing such enthusiasm as TO COM
pensate for the waste of powder be
apparent, it is thought city officials
will consent to this arrangement.

laps Employed by U. P. Are
Quick to Buy Liberty Bonds

According to reports coming to the
general Offices Of the Union Pacific,
Japanese were the most loyal of the
company's employees subscribing for
Liberty bonds.
On track work through western
Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and
Utah, the Union Pacific employs
large numbers Of Japanese. When
the campaign for the sale of the
bonds was on, while Union Pacific Of
ficials did not urge employees TO buy
them, it was suggested that they take
over such amounts as they felt they
could afford TO purchase.
In this campaign the Japanese were
among the first to subscribe, most Of
them taking from 500 to $500 worth
of the bonds, and, as rule, paying
in full, instead Of taking them on the
partial payment plan, as was done by
most of the other employees.

OMAHA STILL FIGHTS
FOR CANTONMENT
General Barry is Asked TO In
vestigate the Undue In
fluence Used to Make
Decision,

The cantonmcnt site question is
still open and representations have
been made TO General Barry at Chi
cago that he investigate reports Of
undue influence on the part Of rail-
road officials interested in seeing the
site situated at Des Moines.
The Omaha Commercial club this
morning tclegraphed Senator Hitch
cock at Washington that fair and
impartial investigation of the Omaha
fort was the only way fair decision
could be obtained.
The telegram in part was as fol-
lows:
Reports say the cantonment qucs-
ton is still open. We believe the
only way 10 settle this question is
by fair and impartial investigation
made by government experts"
Orders Investigation.
The activities, If true, were charac-
tefized by Secretary of War Baker
as OF Serious nature" The secre-
tary ordered General Barry to make
an immediate and thorough investi-
CATION.
Tie nature of the alleged activi-
ties of one member of the commits
sion was that he held the position Of
passenger agent of the Rock Island
and that that railroad furnished the
commission with the use OF a rail-
road officials private car.
A telegram was received from SEN
ator Norris advising that there was
nothing new and that the Omaha del
egation was leaving for Chicago"
In view of the fact that General
Barry seems to hold supreme deci-
sion in the cantonment site matter"
said member OF the commission,
we will concentrate our time and ar
guments upon him in the future, leav-
ing the Washington end for Ne
braska's lawmakers at the capital. We
intend to urge the general to reopen
the matter and make a thorough in
ycstiqation."

RAILROADS CRY is
FOR MEN AND MEN
ALI Departments of Transpor.
tation Being Shortened by
Employees Being Enlisted
for Service.

The crying need OF the railroads j:
men and more OF tliem," is the asser.
ton of Frank B. Thomas, formerly
with the Burlington's safety-hrst de-
partment, but recently transferred to
the freight car chasing bureau. This
bureau is new department and has
to do with the expediting of freight
cars in their movements in order that
the service may be made more eff
Gent
Mr.. Thomas says that the depart
ment with which he Is connected has
done much in the way OF solving the
freight car shortage. In his work
Mr.. Thomas travels over the system,
inpressing upon agents, consignors
and consignees the necessity Of hur-
rying the loading, unloading and NOV
ing Of freight cars. During the few
weeks that he has been at work he
has speeded up the cars and in a
great measure has reduced materially
the car shortage that existed during
last spring.
Needs Men to Work.
According to Mr.. Thomas, the most
serious problem with which the rail
roads are wrestling now is the short
age of labor. He says that appar-
entity men are not available. Higher
wages than have ever before been
piad are being offered to men to en-
gage in railroad work, but these wages
fail to bring the men.
At this time Mr.. Thomas says that
at Gibson, where the Burlington is
constructing new and larger yards,
sixty men could be given employ
ment, but not man can be found
who wants to work. In addition, in
the Gibson repair shops thirty skilled
car repairers and engine men are
needed, but apparently there are no
men who wants the jobs.
What is true with reference to con-
ditions at Gibson applies equally as
we'll out on the lines. Through Ne
braska and Wyoming the Burlington
has employment for ESQ to 500 men
on track and maintenance work. The
Northwestern needs about the same
number, but neither of the roads are
able to find men who want to work.

Veterans of Foreign Wars
Wire Prelate for Explanation
of Cathedral Action

Did Bishop Greer order the organlst
at the Cathedral Of st. John the Divine
TO stop playing THE Star-SpangIed
Banner! And IL he did, why? Those
are the two questions the Veterans OF

answered.
At the session OF the Veterans held
YESTERDAY William Voorsanger, OF
Pittsburgh, stated that he had investi.
gated the report that Bishop Greer had
issued such an order in May. He sad
he had learned that the Bishop was out
Of the city, but man at the cathedral
who had described himself as the Gu
rate had declared that IL was TACT
that the Bishop had issued the order,
because "the playing OF the anthem
created a sentiment for war, to which
the Bishop is opposed" Acting on the
report of Mr.. Voorsanger, the Foreign
War Veterans sent the following te!e-
gram to Bishop Greer last night:
This organization, consisting or war
