SIur on U. S. Results in Rough
Treatment for D. F. Ensign;
Jailed After Soldiers
Rescue Him. Is

The first symptom of disloyalty to
mar the registration program in
Omaha was nipped in the bud today,
when D. +. Ensign, 4l09 South
Thirty-sixth street, was beaten by a
mob at Sixteenth and Farnam streets,
rescued by soldiers and lodged in
jail.
Pro-German uttcrances started the
trouble. Ii the case against Ensign
is pushed, he may become target
for firing squad. If Uncle Sam hap
pens to be more lenient the prisoner
may escape with term in military
prison.
A patriotic meeting was being held
in front OF the army recruiting sta
ton at Sixteenth and Farnam streets.
There had been several speeches, en-
couraging the boys to register and
these we're followed by a martial
music OF bugle and drum corp.
Resents Patriotic Remarks.
Ensign, who had been standing at
the edge OF the crowd, made his way
TO the center. A soldier spied him
and noticing that was strong, husky
fellow about rs years of age, re-
marked:
"You would make a good soldier
and you ought to register"
Ensingn resented the remark, add
ing:
II don't have to register"
Everything would have gone well
with Ensign if he had stopped there,
but he added:
Felled By Patriot.
"The United States helped to bring
on this war and they will get enough
of it before it is over"
Ensign would have said more, but
somebody landed under his ear and
he dropped to the pavement. A dozen
men were on top of him, when the
soldiers jumped in and pulled off

Ships Score Well in
Fighting German Submarine Peril

London, June 5.--The weekly re-
port of losses of British merchant
vessels in the submarine campaign
will again show favorable total
when it is issued tomorrow.
In some respects the last week has
been the best since unrestricted sub
marine warfare was inaugurated. Last
Friday was a blank day on the rec
ords; that is no losses OF British mer-
chantmen occurred. 1t is the first
time this has happened for long
time.
Many encounters have occurred
within the last week, the result OF
which has been entirely satisfactory
to the admiralty. American ships
have a share Of the credit.
British naval people believe improve
ment is cumulative and that there is
not the slightest chance, with the i'm

proved allied organizations that the
Germans ever will repeat their per-
formance of the Black week when
nearly sixty boats were sunk. The
weather continues to favor the boats
which are fighting the submarines
and the cooperation of the patrols,
aircraft and other anti-submarine SER
vices is improving constantly.
The arrival of American units has
helped in more ways than one.
Among other things it has instilled
a friendly rivalry in the campaign
against the submarines, stimulating
the morale and adding to the keen
ness of the men OF both fleets.
Progress of the technique OF the
anti-submarine campaign includes
more careful supefvision, together
with various vigorous offensive meas
ures which it is impossible to detail.

The German naval base at Ostend

The vice admiral at Dover re-

workshops at Ostend were heavily
bombarded in the early hours this
morning. A large number of rounds
were fired with good results. The
enemy shore batteries returned our
fire, but our bombarding forces suf-
icrcd no damage.
Commodore Tyrwhitt also reports
that early this morning a force OF
light cruisers and destroycrs under
his command sighted six German de-
streycrs and engaged them at long
range in running fight. One of the
enemy destroyers, the $50, was sunk
by our gun fire and another severely

These patriots for the most part
walked unfinchingly to registration
places. A spirit of good-natured, opti-
rnistic, hand-extended type of loyalty
was in evidence.
1t was a tired but cheerful lot of
volunteer registrars, who worked
throughout the day. They stayed on
the job after o'clock at night, when
the registration places closed, COM
piled figures, checked up the regis
trations and telephoned them to the
election commissioner If possible be-
fore going to their respective homes.

Young men standing in line at the
registration places bantered light
heartedly with strangers and passed
the time of day with remarks like,
well, friend. good luck to you; ]
hope we meet again in the trenches
when the Germans are on the run.

were out CT buttons to pin on coat

So-calcd slackers and hangers-back
were so few that they were unworthy

Contrary to rumors, small per
