Leonard Wood, and pamphlets will

Strict Sanitary Rules.
There will be a division sanitary
officer who will represent General
Wood and his word on question OF
sanitation will be final. For instance,
every man in the army will have to
take two baths week. This will
work hardship on a few of them,
particularly bunch of Mexican track
laborers who have reported, but most
of the men will take their daily baths
in the showers.
Every man will be appointed a
company policeman" In the army
the word police" means to clean up,
and each man will be held strictly ac-
countable for everything that occurs
in his territory. '-
The major of each battalion and
the colonel of each regiment will be
held to account to General Wood for
anything that goes wrong. One of
the first things the men will have to
do is to kill all the camp flies. These
have been accumulating all summer,
but their time has come.
It is expected all the men who COM
prise the first per cent will have ar
rived and been assigned TO quarters by
tomorrow night.

was more surprised than Major Har-

so soon. But Colonel Hall was in for
the surprise, too.- Neither of us knew

Neutral Nation Made Dupe Of

Great Effect on Con-
duct Of the War.

London. Sept. 9.-The Washington
State departments revelation of
Swedish diplomat in Argentina act
ing as an Intermediary for transfer
ring erman messages to Berlin, has
created one, of the greatest interna-
tional sensations of the war. The de-
velopment itself is not, however, a
great surprise, the chief surprise be-
ing the American officials were able
to obtain the messages as they did
the Zimmerman note OF last winter
regarding German overturcs to
Mexico.
The Swedish government with the
monarchy, the aristrocracy and the
army officers, has been rated strongly
pro-German throughout the war and
Queen Victoria in several public ut
terances has proclaimed her German
sentiments as strongly as any German
could. The Swedish people on the
other hand are reported as leaning
strongly against Germany in the
nlOTe TSCeHt STAGES VI lHS wall Pni
ticularly since the unrestricted sub
marine campaign.

The suspicion has been current in
England throughout the war that Ger
many was obtaining much informa-
ton of military movements, which
could not be secured through ordinary
spies, the spy industry in fact having
been pretty we'll stamped out here
for more than year past after a
few lessons taught by several execu-
tions in the tower of London.
Compliments to American dipio-
macy for the skill displayed in secur-
ing the messages are part of all the
comment on the affair. incidentally
there is much discussion as to
whether, in view Of the British and
Argentine experiences with Sweden,

Afternoon at Spring Lake
Park, With 1000 Strik-
erS in Attendance.

Packing house workers to the mum.
ber OF 1900 gathered at Spring Lake
park yesterday afternoon and heard
rousing speeches from their leaders,
urging the mem to hold out on the
strike until the packers met their
demands. The meeting was most
enthusiastic and although there was
no disorder, demonstrations against
the packers we're numerous.
Strike leaders were still awaiting
word last night from Fred Feick, gov
ernment conciliator, who has been
sent to Omaha by the United States
Department of Labor, to see il some
thing cannot be done to stop any
further spread of the strike and to
bring about an agreement between
the strikers and the packers.
To Arrive Today.
The Department of Labor sent Mr..
Feick in response to message from
7. p. Reynolds, labor member of the
State Council of Defense, to Secretary
Wilson. Mr.. Feick undoubtedly will
arrive this morning and set about inn
mediateiy to settle the trouble, if pos
sible. The government is especially
interested, because the Omaha pack
ing houses have large government
contracts for supplying the soldiers at
the cantonment and training camps,
especially at Deming, Fort Riley and
Des Moines, where there will soon
be thousands of men. ~
South Side police are anticipating
some trouble if the strike continues
any length Of time, because. of the
women who are doing picket duty.
this trouble was slightly forecasted
Saturday in mix up on West q
street between some women pickets
and some women employees.
Fewer men are expected to be at
work this morning because of the
action of the butchers in voting to
stay out with the laboring men.
Butchers Vote to Strike.

hall Saturday, the beef, hog and sheep

the laborers and women workers till

butchers represent three separate or
ganizations.
Announcement were made that the
painters at all the plants had walked
out in sympathy with the other strik'
ers, and all but one fireman at the
Cudahy plant had struck. A report
was submitted that one of the plant:
