sand militants and nearly thousand
pacihsts filled a number of special
trains for Washington which left
New York today beginning shortly
after midnight. Although the advo-
Gates OF peace were outnumbered they

OF the first train bearing those who
styled themselves patriot pilgrims"
and who favor war.
Each pacihst carried white tulip
and wore an arm band inscribed keep
out of war" Prof. Ellery c. Stowell
OF Columbia university, who led the
war pilgrims, said he expected nearly
10000 persons would go from New
York on this errand. why should pa
triots go to Washington now," begins
a statement issued by the committee
in charge OF the war pilgrims. The
statement continues:
THE hour has struck to put an end
to the Prussian oligarchy and the
house of Hohenzollern. There can
be no peace or democracy in the
world until those enemies OF democra-
CIV bite the dust"

Governor Finds
Inconsistencies in
The Judicial Bill

Lincoln, Neb, April 2.-(Special.l-
In message TO the house Governor

OF the three counties was l,S04 at the

LARGE CROWD AT

THREE HUNDRED ENLIST
MUSTER ROLL.

ITO be able to fight does not mean
that we must or will fight" says ex-
United States District Attorney Frank
S. Howell at the noon recruiting and
preparedness rally on the street in
front Of the Sixteenth and Farnam
recruiting stations.
But if we must fight" he contin-
ued, ito be able to fight is the first

Among other speakers was Attor-

large crowd that stopped to listen

Joker in Bill Takes Rap
At the SoIonS Themselves

ttrom stair CorrespondentD
Lincoln, April Especial -Who
is the joke one The house has passed
a bill known as II. X. 794, which after
il had passed through the hands of
the finance committee, was discovered
to contain a clause that any individual
drawing a salary from the state of
Nebraska is prohibited from engag-
ing in any other business for pay.
The bill was aimed at certain Of
fee holders who have been in the
habit of working on the side and TAX
ing in a few sheckles to assist in
solving the high cost OF living prob
lem.
The joke comes when it is taken
into consideration that a member of
the legislature is paid a salary OF 5000
for the biennium for his services. I'M
der the bill farmer cannot receive
an income from his farm, a lawyer
cannot practice law nor can any other
member with other vocation receive
any money except that which comes
to him as a member of the legislature.

Golf as Appeals to One Woman ~
One of the recent publications of a
widely known sporting goods house Is a
book for girls and the various sports suit
able fer the fair sex are described. Tho
young woman who wrote 1t knows her
hockey and other sports, but, unfortunately
her knowledge of golf is very elementary,
and great deal of 1t Is misinformation
In the first place, she has her terms mixed
The teeng ground is called a driving
green. The fairway Is named the fair
green, which, however, is not so bad. But
here is some of the advice to the uninitlated:
Usually the space in front of the tee is
for fifty TO seventy yards rough ground"
Rough really extends anywhere from 100
to $50 yards. ''Often the lie on the fair
green is not favorable to brassie stroke,
in which case an iron club with a pitch
to the head of the club with which to loft
the ball is used. This may be the midirCn,
the ceek, the mashie nblicl or the mashie."
Imagine using a mashie niblick when you
cannot use brassic unless the bali Is
badly cupped!
But the most interesting part is the de-
scriptlon of putting, which follows without
comment: Draw an imaginary line from
the ball to the hole; stand behind the line
with heels together; feet at right angles to
each other, the left foot pointing toward
the hole the player stands bending slightly
from tho hips, with arms stretched down
full length; the right elbow points to the
right thigh, the left points toward the hole
the club swings as a pendulum; the sole
Of the club addresses the ball at right
angles to the imaginary line. The players
eye should be right above the ball." If you
think this is easy, take it home and play 1t
on the piano
Now the young woman who wrote these
things had an awful job, for in the 150-odd
pages she describes about twenty games.
and that is some task even for woman to
do intelligently and intellgibly. ! think
some jocular golfer must have told her a
few things about golf. She happens to be
very fine hockey player and she is thor
oughy conversant both with the play and
the rules, but she has a lot to iearn about
golf.
