Are the Slackers

being called to the colors-springing
up in Omaha such as has been the
subject of much comment and
criticism in Chicago?
County officials are awoudering
Leastwise the rush for marriage
licenses the last few days indicates
that something beside the spring
weather is spurring the young couples
on to the matrimonial goal.
Many of the couples no doubt are
merely carrying out wedding plans
made several months ago, but there
are others-and they presumably
don't care who knows it-who would
rather face grocery bills and gas bills
than bullets.
The rush at marriage license desk
shows no signs of letting up. As
many as four couples were waiting in
line at one time "Wednesday morning.
County Judge Crawford was on the
jump all morning marrying couples.

Answer-No The Russian State bank is
the richest. as well as the only bank in the
world with deposits and current accounts
amounting to more than $1,000, 600, 900, This
simply indicates that financial power is
more centralized In Russia than in England

The slogan of the Union Pacific from

The idea of running this train is i'll
.ccordance with the urgent necessi-
lies pointed out by the National
Council of Defense and follows di-
rcctly upon the heels OF the report OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, in which it was pointed out
that the estimate of the wheat crop
or 1917 is some 50,000,0O0 bushels un-
der that of last year.
"On the special train TO be run by
the. Union Pacific there will be farm
experts from the agricultural colleges
of the big western states and i'll addi-
ton number Of successful and prac-
teal farmers whose farms are located
along the line of the Union Pacific
will give practical talks to their
neighbors.
The urgent demand of the Ma
tional Council of Defense is that
every possible acre in the great crop
producing states be put under culti-
vation."
President Calvin, who has already
dvised the government that the en-
tire resources Of the Union Pacific
are at the services OF those in charge
of the preparedness campaign, holds
10 the opinion that work of the char
acter indicated is the most important

Bee S Information Bureau Called
Upon to Answer Many Questions

Many questions have come to The
Bee's information bureau at Wash
ington recently dealing with the pos
sible war strength OF the United
States. 1t is impossible to give any
facts on the ultimate military eff
cheney of the country at this time,
says the bureau, but statistics are
available showing the Immensely
strong position we occupy financially
and industrially, and the advantage
our participation in the war will give
to the entente allies. Thus the trade
balance in favor of the United States
for the last fiscal year was $2,l3s,000,-
600, indicating that this amount of
financial strength was added to our
resources in that year alone.
The revenues of the government,
without any burdensome taxation,
reached, the $l,000,000,000 mark. In
1915 the United States produced
more corn, wheat, oats, cotton, coal
petroleum, pig iron and steel and cop
per than any other country in the
world-and all these commodities are
primary necessities OF warfare. We
have already lent to the allies over
81 500 100000 and the amount could
be doubled without straining our re-
sources. As TO the number of men
available for military service. it has
been calculated that after making all

Two Flags Stolen by
