In a Training Camp-Urgent Need
OF More sweaters.

Camp Mcclellan, Ala, Nov. 20
Maryland soldiers of the Twenty
ninth Division are being treated to
a taste of Southern winter. F1urrles
of snow, accompanied by a tempera-
Iure lowering around the freezing
point, hit camp today, and lndlca-
tions are that it will be much col
der tonight.
The general outline of the policy
that will be followed in sending
members of the enlisted personnel OF
the Fifty-eighth Brigade 20 the otti-
GERS training camps next January

ginia's part of the 1910 per cent.
of the divisional quota eligible for
assignment to the training camps.
The One Hundred and Fifteenth
Infantry engaged in another period
of target practice on the divisional
ranges today. The severe cold in
terfered to some extent with the
rifle drill, but the men were afforded
an opportunity to gauge frequent
changes in heavy winds.
Col. John S. Fair, who has charge
of the various government remount
stations, is at Camp Mcclellan in
specting the Teniount depot in
charge of the old First Virginia Cav
airy. This is one of the largest in
the country; and a big, portion OF the
assignment of fifteen thousand head
of horses and mules has already ar
rived.
Private Elmer B. Knatz, of the
One Hundred and Fifteenth Infan-
try. and Sergt. William N. Johnson,
of the One Hundred and Sixteenth,

SLOAN WILL FIGHT .
FOR NEWSPAPERS
Fourth District Congressman
to Go on Floor to Oppose
Tax on Ads.
BITTERNESS CROPPING OUT

Washington, May 5.-(Special
Telegram.)-The committee on ways
and means today did some lofty
tumbling in perfecting the war tax
measure,
By a sharp division, the main conf
mittee supported the subcommittee
recommendation creating zones for
second class postage matter and
turned down Representative Sloan's
compromise as to the increase to
Chicago.
Upon the question of munitions
the committee refused to increase the
tax over the subcommittee report
and then in the same breath voted
tax of 5 per cent on all advertise
ments appearing IN any newspaper
having second class mailing
privileges.
This is a heavy tax and Mr.. Sloan
will not only take his compromise
zone tax on second class matter to
the floor as we'll as the tax on adj
refreshments, but hopes to have sup
port from the members Of the com
mittee.
A good deal of bitterness was
shown in the consideration of the
war revenue bill today and it looks
| as il il might grow,

Archbishop Urges Omaha
To Observe Rotation DAYS

Archbishop Harty has sent let
ter to the priests of the Catholic
diocese Of Omaha, urging them ! to
observe the Rogation days, which
this year fall on May l4-l6. These
days, since the fifth century, have been
observed with solemn prayer and pro-
cession by the Catholic church.
Archbishop Harry directs the
priests to recite the litany and the
Rogation prayers after each mass on
each OF the days, and where practical,
within or without the churches, have
solemn procession. 81.
Contending that this year there is
more reason than usual for observing
the occasion, the archbishop says.
I'm the many centuries, when has
there been a time in the church Of
Christ, at which men needed the di-
rect intervention Of God more than
we do now, when the nations are
threatened iii their prosperity, their
civilization and their life by the con-
fagration of WARP

for ourselves and for our sons today,

HAPPENINGS IN
THE MAGIC CITY
Seriousness of Live Stock Sit.
uation Should Appeal to Con-
sumner and Producer.
BANK DOUBLES DEPOSITS

Warming OF the seriousness Of the
live stock and food situation, as
sounded at the conference of leading
business men OF the state at Lincoln,
will have a tendency to cause farmers
and stock growers fully to appreciate
the situation and make special efforts
to increase production, commission
men say.
1.-THE scarcity of food and live stock
is not matter that should be con-
sidered~ by the farmer only,s said a
commission man yesterday. "The con-
sumers should take heed of the
alarming state of affairs and curb
their appetites little. The visible
supply OF meat is very low. At the
present rate of consumption we will
be having mcatless days by August
If the people will get along with
less meat they will conserve the sup
ply and possibly extend the date
when the government will be COM
PEELED to order noNmeats sold on GER
tain days." \
There is very little hope of inn
mediate relief The outlook for meat
animals this fall is discouraging, as
the losses of sheep and cattle on the
western ranges last winter were
unusually heavy. The prospects for
big crops this fall are none too bright
| tell you it looks bad"
Go;n0 to Huntsville
Delegates of the National Live
Stock convention at Louisville, KY,
will leave Omaha May IS. The dele
cation from here will consist of nine
members of the Live Stock exchange,
FIVE of the members will take their

Bank Doubles Deposits.
The Live Stock National bank of
South Omaha, according to the an
nouncement of the comptroller OF cur
rency, is the only bank in the United
States in the $5,0O0000 class that
doubled its deposits during the twelve
months prior to March S, 1917. Dur
ing the period the increase was ia
per cent.
We've got it inside of us and
you've got us inside the jail, if you
want to know where we got Our sup

Charles Huller, Twenty-sixth and L

For the present the women wilt drill

Omaha War News

Lieutenant Wilbur OF Company A
of the Fourth Guard has been de-
tailed as recruiting officer for the en-
listed mems reserve corps by the army
central department at Chicago. he
will receive applications from, other
men fitted to serve the army in spe-
cialized capacities when needed.
Attorney Amos Thomas on Satur-
day received his commission as a
captain Of cavalry in the army Off
GERS reserve corps. Attorney Anan
RAYMOND was also commissioned at
the same time by the War department,
but the commission had not reached
his office at 2 p. m. Saturday, although
supposed to have been mailed from
Washington with Thomas.
Positions as yeomancttes on active
duty at the navy recruiting station
have a new significance to Miss Ruby
lane Busse and Miss Emma Hen
bricks. They received the first of three
typhoid prophylaxis treatments Sat
urday, to render them immune to ty-
phoid, and are now nursing slightly
sore arms. The prophylaxis serum IS
injected into the upper arm with a
hollow needle. Bysthis means typhoid
has been eliminated from all branches
of American military service.
Recruits in Colonel c. L. Mather's
volunteer regiment, which he plans to
offer the government for service in
France, will have rifle practice this
morning at o'clock at the Greater
Omaha Rifle clubs range near the end
of the East Omaha street car line.
Colonel Mather says that about $50
men have applied to join his regiment
Many applicants are out-of-town men,
he says. II have no criticism to make
of the National Guard" he says" and
have always had high respect for it.
ANY idea that | have cast aspersions
upon the Guard is due to misunder-
standing. Such was neither made nor
intended" His proposed regiment will
drill and prepare during spare time,
so that members may continue work
until such time as they may be accept
ed for service in France, he says.
Gifts OF flowers, magazines and
other remembrance will be appreciat-
ed by several National Guardsmen in
the post hospital at Fort Crook, says
Lieutenant Reeves, surgeon in charge.
Four or FIVE lads of the Omaha bat
talon are on sick quarters there.
Eight recruits have been signed UP
so far in Omaha for the machine gun
company of the Fifth Nebraska Ma
t;onal Guard. Chaplain Jean Cobbey
is using his law offices in the Keeline
building as a recruiting station. The
latest volunteers for the Fifth here
are Robert A. Jeffrey, school principal
at Orleans. and Donald G. Rozelle of
the South Side, whose father is a well
known mail carrier. The Fifth regi-
ment expects to be called into federal
service soon, to take the place of the
Fourth on home guard duty, when
that regiment is ordered away for &C
tive war service.
