IMPORTANT POST
IN MOBILIZATION
Commissioner ManIey Of the
Omaha Commercial Club
Gives InkIing Of War
Department Plans.

"We feel certain that Fort Crook is
being seriously considered by the
War department for an important
military purpose" said Commissioner
Robert H. Manley of the CONNER
cial club on his return yesterday
from Washington, where he spent
several days as a member of the
Omaha delegation that sought to
snatch the Des Moines cantonment
camp for Omaha.
Even if we did not get the canton
ment camp" he continued, "the conf
mittee was busy every hour of the
day, and some days eighteen hours,
and we feel that we have accom-
piished something and that we will
be well repaid for the trip.
I'VE feel certain now that Omaha
is going to get large bodies of troops
at Fort Crook, and possibly at other
nearby places. We are satisfied that
Omaha will eventually quarter and
serve many regiments during the mo-
bilization of the mighty armies that
will be sent to Europe"
Mr.. Manley left Washington
Thursday night. Charley Saunders
and F, H. Davis stayed over Friday.
Protests by Senator Hitchcock Con-
gresham Dan Stevens and Congress
man c. 0. Lobeck have gone to the
War department with regard to the
location of the cantonment camp at
Des Moines, in spite of what Oma-
hans considered Omaha's superior ad-
vantages from a military standpoint.
To Investigate Finding.
1t has been requested of the de-
partlnent that Colonel Morgan's find
ing for Des Moines over Omaha be
investigated and that the facts be
made public regarding on what par
ticular features Des Moines won as
a military point.
Up to the time Mr.. Manley left
Washington Secretary of War Baker
had not definitely stated that the in
vestigation would be made.
Third Assistant Secretary of State
Long assured Commissioner Manley
that either the Russian or the Bel
gian war commission now in America
would pay a visit to Omaha. He
could not say definitely which one,
and he was quite sure that he could
not send both to Omaha, as the invi-
tations from American cities are so
that he is trying, to dis
tribute the commissions around and
give all the principal cities in the
country chance to meet some of
them.

MRS. TARRY ASKS
$4,000 ALIMONY
and new DECREE
Former Wife of Omaha Physi-
clan Petitions Court to Set
Aside Divorce Granted
Three Years Ago.

Attorneys for Mrs. Bessie Tarry,
divorced wife of DR.. E. R. Tarry, filed
a petition yesterday in district court
asking the court to set aside the di-
vorce decree granted her November
n, 1914, for alleged cruelty. At that
time, the petition alleges, she was
given alimony of $4,000.
In place of the old decree Mrs.
Tarry petitions the court to give her
$4,000 alimony on the ground that
her former husband testified falsely
as to his income and wealth. She
alleges that DR.. larry has an income
OF $4,000 year and is worth $685.
600.
DR.. larry is a well-known special
ist and has been a resident of Omaha
for many years. He has been promi-
nent in club circles. For years he
has had Offices in the Bee building.
She further alleges in her petition
that during her married life, her hus-
band induced her to use harmful
drugs" and that she formed habit
which greatly weakened her will power
so that she was unable to overcome
its use.
At the time the decree was granted,
she alleges, she was not in good
health and was led into believing that
her husband had less property than
he really owned. y
In order to deceive and cheat her,
she alleges, "he falsely and fraudu-
lently transferred some of his prop
erty in other persons Names"
She axis that the court restrain her
former husband from transferring or
selling any Of his stock or bonds until
after the hearing.
She has retained Attorneys Sutton,
Mckenzie. Cox and Harris.

BRAZILIAN
FLEET TAKES
PART IN WAR
Navy Of South Americas Larg-
est Republic Joins U. S. War
ships in Hunt for Sea
Raiders.

Washington, June 30.-Brazirs
navy has begun cooperating with the
American feet in South American
waters in hunting down German sea
raiders and watching for German
submarines.
Sending of a special diplomatic
mission TO Brazil TO, arrange for
greater coordination OF forces and
the closest possible cooperation of
the two governments is under con-
sideration. #
Without formal declaration OF war,
Brazil thus practically has joined the
United States against Germany.
Whether Brazil will supplement its
action by formal declaration of war
is regarded as doubtful because
the government at Rio de Janeiro is
inclined TO regard its action rather
as defensive than aggressive.
BraziPs seizure of the war bound
German ships had added to its mer-
chant marine more than 10000 tons
which with that already at its dis
posal will, it is believed, contribute
materially to the solution of the prob
lem OF getting supplies 10 the allies.
Brazils navy is the largest OF the
South American group and in connec-
ton with the American feet COM
manded by Admiral Coperton, it is
believed the work of keeping the
south Atlantic clear OF enemy craft
will be greatly facilitated.
A plan for safeguarding ships car
rying foodstuffs to Europe already
has been put into effect.
Dundee, June 30.-"We have driven
the great army Of Germany UNDER
ground" said Premier Lloyd George
in speech here today. when
great army is driven to these tactics
it is, the beginning of the end; it
means that we are pounding a sense
of inferiority. into every pore of the
German military mind.
1T Is good for the war, is even
better for after the war. As long as
the Prussians have an idea of super
iority in their minds, Europe will not
be decent place for people to live
in,peace. 1t will be easier after this"
"The Prussians," said Mr.. Lloyd
George. "havc many virtues, but
sense of humility has never been
among them"
The premier added that the Prus-
sian is now being taught the virtue
of humility with fierce and relentless
lash.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that if neces-
sary the government would resort to
the exchequer in order that the price
of bread should be within the COM
pass Of the bulk Of the people.
