many women from the streets.
At every store, stands or push carts
where chickens, fish, potatoes, or

Two plain clothes men, who at

as ring leaders OF the disturbance, by
other policemen, but the excited

of bushels Of grain, on which con.

in Iowa elevators and on Iowa farms

Washington, Feb. IA special
rule expected to insure vote in the
house at this session on the District

certain of passage once it is brought

The rules committee stood 7 to

house, would take the bill out of the
hands of the district committee and

Lansing's Departure
Arouses Speculation

Washington, Feb. 24.-The depar-
ture OF Secretary Lansing tonight for
three-day stay at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, was variously inter
pretcd in connection with possible de-
velopments in the German crisis. At
first there was a general tendency to
believe that it meant the government
did not contemplate taking any new
steps before the middle of next week,
that IL decisions had been feached and
plans worked out the head Of the
State department could be spared for
few days rest, now better than
later.
There was two-hour cabinet meet
ing this afternoon, followed by the
announcement that the international
situation had undergone no change
Members were more than usually re-
ticent in discussion afterwards, al
though they indicated that President
Wilson still had made no plans for
his expected visit to congress to seek
authority ito protect Americans and
their ships from submarines.

Washington Interested in
LLOYD GEORGES Statement

Washington, Feb. "a. Premier
Lloyd Georges speech to the effect
that extreme measures must be taken
to save England from disaster from
the submarine campaign caused much
surprise here because Of the frankness
Ct its expression. Nevertheless, it was
pointed out that the German subma-
rine campaign had given the British
premier just the opportunity he want
ed of making a supreme appeal to
the British people and of imposing
restrictions, both on them and on
other neutrals, which he had long de-
sired TO put into effect.
The drastic prohibitions of imports
were understood here not only to be
means Of saving cargo space, but of
enforcing some of the personal
economy in England that has been
practiced in Germany during the war.

FEW TURN OUT FOR
NAVY LEAGUE MEET
Small Gathering at Fontenelle
Talks of Need for Prepare
ton and Training.
ANOTHER TRIAL PROPOSED

Four hundred chairs, twenty Ameri-
can flags and forty men were present
at meeting of the Navy league at
Hotel Fontenelle Friday evening. The
meeting had been announced several
times in advance, and 1000 circulars
had also been mailed concerning it.
General George H. Harries said he
couldn't quite comprehend it," and
that he was disguised with those
who failed to attend in response to
the Navy leagues appeal to Omaha
men," He predicted that they or
their descendants would pay an enor-
nous price for the present apathy and
lack of patriotic spirit"
Contracts Two Occasions.
He said he prayed for universal
service in the army, and continued:
1.-THE less we are willing to give,
the less right we have to possess. The
joy and nobility of service seems to
be lacking here. Our lives do not be-
long to US, but to our country. Last
Memorial Day, $1,000 Omahans
marched in the parade, while count
less thousands wore flags and cheered,
indicating they might have the right
spirit. I'd like to see some OF that
spirit now"
Captain {. F. Adams, who served
in the civilswar without pay, asserted
that such discouraging meetings serv-
ed to encourage enemy powers, paci-
fists and jingoes.
Minds Need Preparation.
1--WE are now really in state of
war" he declared, land the sooner
we realize it, the sooner we will get
ready. We are simply asleep today.

Arthur c. Smith, president of the
Nebraska section of the Navy league,
presided. D. c. Patterson proposed
holdin another meeting soon, to
arouse Omaha lads interest in naval
training and service.
Endorse Naval Training.
Endorsement was voted for the
work of the Navy Training associa-
ton of the United States, after Leon
ard w. Trester of Lincoln had ex-
planned its efforts to get civilians to
take training courses and cruises on
Uncle Sans battleships, in plepara-
ton for the possibility of war.

CAMEL RIDING NOT EASY JOB
Beginner Has Feeling Akin to Seasick
ness Owing to the Peculiar Gait
of the Animal.

Camel riding is learned only at the
price Of suffering. This is because
of the peculiar gait Of this animal,
which produces a feeling akin to that
Of seasickness, owing to the swaying
motion of the body caused by the fact
that the two legs of one side move
simultaneously.
This animal thrives only in desert
regions. And herein lies It's usefulness
to man, for by its means alone is he
enabled to cross barren tracts other
wise impossible. This ability to live
without water and with little food for
long periods is due to two natural
reservoirs. Water Is stored in special
pockets in the lining Of the stomach,
while large mass Of fat Is stored on
the back, forming the Characteristic
hump-though, according to popular
belief, 1t is here that the water is held.
Though it will manage to subsist for
long periods on the thorny scrub such
as forms the only vegetation of desert
areas, and with very little water, It's
complacency In these matters may be
overtaxed, as was disastrously shown
during the first expedition to Khartum.
Two other factors In the adaptable
ity of the camel to q desert life have
to be taken into account. These are
the feet and the nostrils. The first
named have but two toes, protected by
very thick, horny pads to resist the
burning sand; while the nostrils are
long and slitlike, and can be closed at
will, thereby enabling the animal to
survive the awful sandstorms which so
endanger the lives Of trav-
elerS.
