sociate attendance totalled more than
900 this year.

'cluding Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri.

eringS of this important organization.

December IS in Omaha. A refer

Police Believe They Will
Find ThompSon'S SLAYER

South Side police declare they will
arrest the murderer of Thomas
Thompson, who was found shot to
death in his home, 4517 South Seven
teenth street, Tuesday afternoon.
II am confident that the murderer
will be found" said Captain Vanous
of the South Side police, I'VE have
a number of clues and there is no
doubt in my mind that the mystery
soon will be solved"
The police say that Evelyn Stoner
the little 4-year-old girl who was left
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Patterson November /. has no con-
nection with the murder. The child
was left by her mother, Mrs. Ethel
Stoner, who said that she was EN-
ployed by school supply house and
that she was in need of money.
The woman was accompanied by
man about IS years of age, who, she
said, was her chauffeur. 1t was at first
supposed that there might be some
connection between the murder OF
Thompson and what seems to be a
case of child abandonment. Later
developments show that relation be-
tween the two cases is improbable,

Your boys down there are getting

night there is boxing and the like.
Some nights we have religious meet
ings.
After all meetings we have a short
prayer service and it would surprise
you to know how many attend these.
We also give testaments to all those
who ask for them. They sign pledge
to carry these with them always and
to read a portion each day. You may
think that is easy. But it is one thing
to read the Bible in the privacy of
your home and quite another to read
il in your tent with eight other fell
lows looking on who, perhaps. do
not think much of that sort of thing.
One day a corporal who has
charge of the eight men of tent,
came running up to the sergeant and
exclaimed, I don't know what's the
matter with one fellow in my tent.
He's down on his knees and praying
like hell
Another soldier met up with
comrade who was doing duty on the

HER HYPHEN

She is a great artist and public fav-
orite; but she is home-Ivving won-
an and, first of all, good mother.
She was born in Germany; but loves
America
She has q great shining face, with
generous smile for everyone, any
one; but her mouth quiyers and her
heart writhes in torture
She stands up before thousands and
sings joyously, gloriously, and for the
thousandth time reddens under the ap-
plause of the delighted thrang; but
over her head, its awful presence al
ways felt, hangs sword.
You've heard her sing 'Nfein Sohn! ."
and she took your soul into the valley
of the shadow of death to recover
those you'd loved and lost awhile. y
You've heard her cry Death. let me
in" and wonderful that the tomb
aid not open to mothers appeal.
She has a beautiful home; but it is
under a pail, pail of powder smoke
and blood. The little boy who, yes
terday, chung at her left knee and lis
tened and smiled at her folk songs is
in the German navy; the lad who lis
tened and smiled at her knee is in the
United States navy, and tomorrow, or
next week or next month the message
may come that they have met and kill
ed
The other night she got off train
at San Diego and went to her hotel.
She was very tired. She had recently
come from a hospital. But big crowd,
with a band of music, was at the
hotel to greet her. There were shouts
of welcome, cries for sight of her.
Then, Schumann-H stepped
forth and sang, 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner!"

said
Il am prouder than have been that

the American people have responded with the
instinct of democracy and prepared to their
part to the end that shall have government by
law, by agreement by conception of right and not
brute force There has been no finer statement of
influence us, since the days of Abraham Lincoln,
than that stated in the matchless state paper of
President Wilson"
Could anything be finer than that?
