NO ELECTION RETURNS
FOR STAY-AT-HOMES
Military Service Excludes All Other
On This Occasion.

Stay-at-home election fans will not
be able to get returns by telephone
this Tuesday. The tremendous
amount Of military and commercial
business passing over the lines at all
hours, said an official of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Company today,
makes it necessary to discontinue the
courtesy of former years.
In normal times, according to the
local official, the Company has al
ways supplied this extra service, even
if 1t meant the employing of addi-
tional operators. But under present
conditions, with telephone companies
all over the country finding it diff
cult to keep the operating ranks suf-
fciently filled to handle the daily rush
of calls, the former courtesy would be
an impossible burden

Poles, Lithunians. English and Ameri.
cans in our company" he said. And
don't forget the Irish! as he glanced
at a red-headed sergeant with twink
ling eyes who stood by. All arc de-
voted to Captain Risch whom they
vote "a good scout"
Many men i'll Company d speak
several languages. Captain Risch
himself speaks English, German,
Spanish, Dutch and French.
But that's nothing" he says. my
dad speaks fourteen"
Captain Risch is the only one of his
family in America. After he had been
here awhile he thought it foolish
notion" to have come. Then he met
an Omaha girl and at once he knew
why he had come to America. He
has a wife and baby to Leave behind
when he goes out to fight again.
Captain Risch had one brother in
the Dutch navy, now dead His only
remaining brother is tea planter
in the Dutch East Indies, who will
be in Omaha within a month and who
is scheduled to speak at the CONNER
cial club then.

irving here, he joined the United
States army, Fourteenth infantry, as
soon as he could, He served four
years and was on the border much
of the time.
81 noticed the men closely down
there" he said. The Americans are
high strung and will do things in a
hurry, They will do splendid feats
of daring at the front and will learn
quickly, once they get into actual
fighting.
The Hollanders, for instance, are
slower to start-though they are regu-
lar fools for fighting once they get
going, Fire cannon behind a COM
pany of Dutch soldiers and not one
will bat an eye"
But fire one behind an American
company and every man will jump
This high tension will put life into
the fighting ranks abroad"
Chooses Own Men.
Captain Risch's company is one Of
the most interesting in the whole Ne
braska brigade. Most of the men
have been personally chosen by him
and there are large proportion of
foreign birth, or at least foreign de-
scent.
There are Bohemians, Russians.

DANDY SIXTH" BOYS

Some in Uniforms and others
in Civilian Dress, They En-
joy Big Show; Third
Iowa Coming.

The Dandy Sixth" boys were out
at King Ak-Sar- -Ben's castle last
night. They were there in force.
They were there because their uni
forms had not been received last
Monday night, which was the regular
military night.
In fact, some of the boys last night
appeared in the trousers of their civil
lian days combined with the nifty
brown, shirts of their soldier davs.
But most of them were clad in their
tull uniforms and looked very we'll
indeed.
Other guests OF the evening were
citizens of Missouri Valley. Tekamah
and Washington, most OF whom came
in automobiles.
Soldier and civilian guests alike
were delighted with the great mid
way show. Some got shaves from
Ike, the careful tonsorialist and 9TH
ers tried their muscle, lifting the
heavy weights with the professor.
Applaud Great Spectacle.
he great spectacle presented upon
the stage was iii fine form. And
feature that called forth tremendous
applause was the substitution of a
band concert for the usual speaking
The Republic Motor Truck company's
band, which happened to be in the city
Ell tour yesterday, provided the con
cert, The band is fifty strong aud
made the Old den ring with melody.
Dad" Weaver announced that the
membership roll has passed the mark
and is going strong. Next Monday
night will be devoted to the guests of
Omaha market'week and the boys of
the Third Iowa infantry are expected
10 be here. The Monday following
will be Lincoln night.
Dad" Weaver calls attention to the
act that it is necessary to be men,

CounCiImen Are Told
OF Omaha Paving Errors

Much Of the unwarranted deterior-
alton of paving i'll Omaha is due to
incapable or improper inspection by
city inspectors. A marked improve
ment has been noted during the last
few years.
Those are conclusions embodied in
a report submitted to the city council
by Kendall K. Brown, w. B. Cheek,
F. w. Fitch and r. J. Sutton, rep
[resenting the Commercial club, Oma-
ha Automobile club, Federation OF
improvement clubs and United I'M
provement clubs, respectively.
These paving erro- were mcn-
toned: Imperfect preparation of
ground before bases are laid; INSULT
cient cement in concrete bases and in
suficiency of thickness of base, below
requirements of specifications; lack
of expansion joints; improper replace
ment of earth and paving when public
Service street connections ar, made.
