An American Boy's
Baptism of Fire
By WILLIAM J. ROBINSON
CaayyIght lltis lrnuu 4 "a
Copyright. Little. Brown & Co.

The most graphic account OF the
great war that has yet been written
comes from the pen OF twenty-two-
year-old Boston boy, who has Just re-
turned from France, where as dragon
guardsman, dispatch rider and motor
car driver he served fourteen months
under the British flag. Out OF thirty
one motorcycle dispatch riders he was
one Of four survivors,
The royal army medical corps Is a
tremendous unit, and there. too. will
he found some OF the bravest men In
the army. even though they are non
combatants. This corps Is always re-
ferred to as the II. A. NJ. c., and the
British Tommy speaks OF It as the
Rob All My Comrades"
There Is reason for this OF course,
and as near as ! can make out 1t is
this: When a man Is sick or wounded
and Is obliged to go into hospital all
his belongings are taken from him lie
il supposed to get them back when he
is discharged from hospital, but when
one considers the thousands that are
taken care OF by the hospitals 1t Is
only reasonable to believe that great
many OF the little bundles are bound
to go astray. Tommy cannot see this
however, so he grumbles and growls
and often refers to the corps In uncom'
plimoNtary terms.

Lincoln, Feb. l6.-(Special. THE
bill appropriating $4,000 to buy
grounds for the Southeastern Nebras-
ka Fair association went through the
house today by so tight squeeze that
there was not much left to brag about.
After a cali of the house had been
made and raised, the bill won by
margin Of only one vote. On the first
roll call, forty-eight were for the
bill and forty-three against it. 1t was
necessary to have ffty-one votes and
the call for help was sent out. Five
members were found, but only two of
them voted for the bill and it istill
, lacked one to make good. Then
Trumble and Lampert, who had voted
for the bill, changed to no and that
made it look bad, but Reisner, Green
walt and Hunt came to the rescue and
changed to yes, and the necessary
majority of the house was reached,
and the bill declared passed.
People of the state will have to
get along with 1000 copies each OF the
bound proceedings OF the senate and
house, a, motion by Reisner to raise
the number to l,500 ching killed. al
though the vote was close, 43 to As.
1t was evident when the bill for the
establishment of school of irriga-
ton at Scottsbluff came up that many
of the members had seen the light,
for while recommended for passage in
committee of the whole by close
vote, today, when it was up for final
passage, only seven votes were regis
tered against it.
The Fults bill to prohibit and penal
ize the smoking of cigarettes in any
public place by persons over 10 years
OF age passed with 80 votes for and 9
against.

Labor Shortage and
Decentralization of Business
After War Is Predicted

Sharon, Pa, Jan. 4. - Former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft, addressing
the Chamber of Commerce last night
viewed with gravity the obligations and
responsibilities which face the United
States when the European war ends
He said while perhaps one would he
rash to predict that in year the war
viii be over, certainly the year will
bring such changes as to furnish q
basis for predicting it's end.
1T will find us richer than ever with
greater stock of gold than any coun-
try ever had" he said. "and 1t will find
us with enormous plants all occupied
and seeking for more labor with which
to increase their output.
The actual coming of peace must
seriously affect our business conditions;
large part of our exports can be trac-
ed directly to the enormous demands
for war materials, and this demand, OF
course, will be cut off with the speed
of cable dispatch A large proper
ton of the manufacturing energy of the
country will be for the time paralyzed
In the matter of wages. the excessive
demand for labor in our munition fac
tories will fall off abruptly, and this
may involve controversies"
Mr.. Taft stated that a protective
tariff is needed in order to meet the
sharp competition that will follow the
cessation of hostilities.
