PROPOSES NEW PLAN
TO ENLIGHTEN SLAVS
Walthill Man Would Have
Russ Americans Teach
New Republic of
Democracy.

Walthill, Neb,, June H.-(Special) }
Carl Breatman, a Russian living at
Walthil, has devised an ingenious
plan for the enlightenment OF the
Russian people and their instruction
concerning principles OF republican
form OF government.
Mr.. Breatman has written the fol-
lowing letter to Secretary OF State
Lansing concerning the idea:
"By way Of introduction, ! will state
that | am a Jew; that | was born in
Russia, served four years in the Rus
sian army and came to this country
at the age OF "a years. ! am now 81
years old.
81 am deeply interested in the part
Russia is playing in this war and IN
the situation that it now finds itself,
and now that | am a citizen OF the
United States, | want to serve it, and
in doing so | feel that | am serving
all mankind.
u know Russia and its people and
| believe know its needs at this time,
The common people do not compre-
hend what is being done or what the
new government means to them. The
Russian officials who may go among
them are viewed with suspicion and
do not have the confidence OF the
people.
Would Send Russians Back.
"If the government in Washington
would choose three to five hundred
common people who were born and
reared in Russia and who are natural
lied citizens, and arrange to have
them return to their home districts
and explain to these people their new
government and our own form OF gov
ernment, and to outline to them in
their own way the advantages we en-
JOY in the United States and what
they may expect under similar form
of republic it to them, not as an
official, but as one OF their fellow
men who has lived in this great re.
public--they would be convinced and
they would unite for their new gov
ernnent.
Il am so certain that great work
could be accomplished along this line,
that even though | am married man
with family, would gladly go as one
OF the party of delegates, because l
feel that in doing so | could render
great service to the United States and
to Russia. A united Russia will ac-
complish more in ending this war than
in sending 100000 men to France.
"If | could see you and talk with
you personally could convince you
of the necessity of sending the dele
CATION to Russia at once. The states
men that you send to Russia will
reach the high officials, but it will
take common people from this coun-
try to reach and unite the common
people of Russia"

NAILS HELD UP
UNDER ORDER AT
2 G. B. TERMINAL

regard to holding up mails, even ii
the sacks do contain daily papers,:
"By referring to my letter OF the
Grst inst, with reference to Idaho
mails, you will note that | stated
that Mr.. Johnson desires that all un.
important mail be withheld. That ii
in doing so some daily papers OF re,
mote origin be withheld, you would
be protected in the matter.
Il will ask you to give this matter
careful attention, not only with ref
crence to Idaho, but to all mails that
are being withheld. There seems to
be a tendency at this time to let
mails 60 forward that had previously
been held, and the volume OF mails
on trains is increasing.
"Please give this matter close at
tention, and see that all who are in
structed to Withhold mails are doins
their duty in this respect, and tha
the volume OF paper mail sent out ii
trains is reduced to the minimum"

does those things that make men love
1.-THE on2 country where a poor man
can live in peace and dignity as well
as rich man. Avail yourselves OF
this great opportunity"
DR.. Donald Macrae of Council
Bluffs told of the actual working OF
the Red Cross in war time and de-
clared that the people who remain at
home ought to be willing to Civ all
they make in excess of expenses dur
ing the war If they want to be on a
plane Of liberality equal to that of the
soldier.
Militarism Must Fall.
A. w. Jefferis, in the courS, of his
address, made a strong plea tor the
Nebraska National Guard.
Thank God for the Nebraska Ma
tional Guard regiments" he said. We
must fill them up to the INIT. And
the Red Cross must have our tull
support. 1t would be criminal care
lessness TO send our boys without
making every preparation that money
and effort can make to give them COM
fort and the best Of care"
w. F. uurley declared: "The Ameri-
can people, l00,CJ0,000 strong, have
registered in high heaven their silent,
solemn oath that kaiserism and mill
tarism must fall. The power OF
armed autocracy will crumble into
dust when confronted with the
strength of democracy which rests
with simple dignity upon the declara-
ton which the Peasant of Galilee
made for democracy nearly 1000
years ago"
Besides the military band Desdune's
band contributed some stirring music.
The Grand Army of the Republic
contingen marched to the Audi
toriun, led by drum corps. The

McAdoo Gives Decision.

Washington, June H.-Secrctary
McAdoo announced Saturday that no
part of the great oversubscription to
the Liberty loan would be accepted
and that his statement OF May 10, in
which he declared that the issue
would be limited to $2,OO0,000,0O0,
stood good now as then.
Mr.. McAioo's announcement will
result in pairing down hundreds Of the
larger subscriptions until the total
reaches the $2,OO0,0OO,oO0 limit. How
much will have to be taken from the
amount the country offered to take
was still an unknown matter tonight.
Ihe oversubscripion will not fall be-
low $700000,00O it seemed certain and
may go as high as S900O0O,OOO.
The grand total OF subscriptions will
not be known until Monday at the
earliest. In disposing of reports that
the amount OF the issue might be en-
larged to include all offers, Mr., Nc
Adoo issued the following statement:
Allotments Not in Excess.
"Allotments OF Liberty bonds will
not be made in excess OF the $2,0OO,-
100000 offered. / announced this on
May 10, when the details OF the loan
were first published.
Il have asked the reserve banks to
tabulate separately and on supple
mentary lists the subscriptions re-
ceived yesterday, June IS, after noon,
in order that may be in position
TO consider in making allotment OF
the $1,000, 100000 of bonds those ap-
plications which through no fault OF
the subscriber were not recorded on
time.
at is impossible to foretell what
decision will be reached in this mat
ter or TO determine the basis upon
which ailotments will be made until
substantially definite returns have
been received from the several federal
reserve banks. The organizations OF
these banks. unusually efficient as
they are, have been overwhelmed by
the multitude OF applications received
at the last moment.
To Accept Small Applications.
II shall avail myself OF the right re-
served in the circular offering th1
ionds to allot in full upon appllca-
lions for smaller amounts OF bonds
and tn reduce allotments on applica-
tions for larger amounts, as such ac-
ton viii be clearly in the public iu-
tcre st.
hlr. McAdoo today acknowledged
wi,h depreciation the work OF the
forces oi publicity which aided in the
hoiatibu OF loan,
"'rhe Liberty loan campaign, he
said, was essentially one OF educa.
ton and without the generous aud
patriotic support OF the press OF the
nation, the hope OF those in charge
that it would be popular loan would
not have been realized. The untiring
efforts OF the newspapers throughout
the campaign were constant inspira-
ton to the various other groups OF
workers. .
AT a time when news space was at
premium the Liberty loan was fea-
tured at leagth. The foreign language
press in thirty-six languages gave
daily proof OF the undoubted loyalty
OF peoples OF foreign birth.
II shall be most grateful to the
press il this acknowledgment is given
wide publicity"
Reports 10 the treasury at the time
Of closing today from all reserve
banks stated that the work OF tabulat.
ing returns was progressing at all
banks and in several cases it was stat
ed tabulations probably could not be
finished until Monday.

Elaurinu coIsrs of Metals.

A method by which numerical values for the colors of metals has been ob- tained and described recently in for eign contemporary. The metal sample is polished with emery, and is then photographed through blue grass screen. The time of exposure, time of development of the plate, temperature of the developer and all other condi- tions must be reproduced exactly in order to obtain comparable results. The density of the resulting negative is measured in Sanger-Shepherd densometer, and the result calculated to a scale in which the color value for silver is 0 and that of copper is 50. The results obtained show that an increase of coloration in the metal does give a higher "color figure" but the method can detect no difference between pure and standard" silver silver 92.5 per cent, copper 7.5 per ceat and is only just sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between German silvers having respectively 15 and per cent of nickel.

Original St. Sophia.

One of the most interesting of Sa- loniki's famous 22 churches is St. Sophia. Like it's greater homonym of Constantinople, the National Geo. graphic Magazine observes, it is a domed basilica, and it was long con- sidered to be provincial copy of that great original. As q matter of fact, the Saloniki church is the original, having been built hundred years or more the earlier, at the end of the fourth or the beginning of the fifth century. The church has suffered dis astrously by fire, earthquake and restoration, but the original lines of the structure remain, as well as the pillars and beautiful capitals of wind blown acanthus, and two fine frag- ments of mosaic. The principal mosa- ic, an Ascension, with decorative green trees between the standing figures, lines the great dome. It Is supposed to date from 646. though the figure of Christ in the center is cader sttl1.

suzza.,d's Wonderful Sight.

Many pere.His have l"Gi:ght that buz- zards have an unusual sense ci smell that guides them over miles of terri tory in search of food, but many years age 1t was proved that sight is the principal factor in guiding the bird of prey. Audubon made careful experi- ments with black vulture. The dry, stuffed skin of a deer which he placed out in the field soon attracted q vul- ture. Although there was no smell Of flesh and nothing eatable about it, the bird lit and began tugging at the dry skin. Later, when the same bird cir cled over the field 1t espied a small snake not thicker than a mans finger and bounced upon It.
