ADD FORT CROOK
TO FORT OMAHA
BALLOON SCHOOL
As Soon as Water Is Piped to
Reservation Personnel of
New Camp Will Be In
creased to 1000.

All reports that Fort Omaha is to
be abandoned as balloon school
were set at rest Friday evening when
Colonel Hersey, commandant, re-
ceived telegram from the War de-
partment at Washington informing
him that Fort Crook had been made
a part of the balloon instruction
camp.
Fort Crook reservation consists OF
500 acres and there are permanent
quarters for officers. barracks, hos
pital and all the equipment for per-
manent post on the ground.
The only drawback that stands in
the way of manning the post with
its capacity of 1000 or more soldiers
is that OF water. The water supply
at present is only sufficient for the
needs of about 500 men and these will
be transferred from Fort Omaha as
soon as possible.
A bill has passed congress provid-
ing for the laying of water mains
from Omaha to the fort and as soon
as this will have been completed the
personnel of officers and enlisted
men and equipment at Fort Omaha
will be increased to the capacity.
The addition of Fort Crook to the
Fort Omaha balloon school will afford
a relief to the strain that has been
put on the capacity of the latter post
to care for the large Number OF men
now in training there.
1t will further establish the pres
tige OF the Omaha camp as the larg-
est school Of instruction in aero
nautics in the country.

Washington, Sept. 6--The hour
when General Pershing's armv will be
thrown into the battle is rapidly ap-
preaching, in the opinion OF many
officers and officials at the War de-
partment.
Developments today indicate to
these observers that ;he German with
drawal was nearing the point when
Marshal Foch would make use OF
every available weapon to prevent the
enemy from making stand in his old
positions along the Hindenburg line.
Speed Up Retirement.
Reports indicate the Germans are
accelerating their withdrawal along a
wide front before the French and
British armies that are pressing on
their heels. The fact that the British
have broken across the old line on the
Douai-Cambrai front is regarded as
the spur that is impelling the Ger
mans to rush the last stage OF their
withdrawal.
There is no doubt among observ-

German Armies Pervaded
By Revolu tionary Spirit

18TH pioneer battalion of the SD di-
vis.on was shot by his men when he
attempted to stop a panic-stricken
rush from the trenches.
A battalion surgeon captured said
all the regiment officers believed that
General Ludendorff would fight de-
laying actions until the allied often
slves had died out, the same as the
Germans did, at the same time saving
his elite divisions for counter
stroke, preparations for which are
now being made.

of turning the whole German line
northward and that probably a 81
multancous attack would be delivered
beyond Verdun, where the original
American sector lies, to complete this
conception of a wild. turning move
ment against the enemy positions in
northern France.
The St. Mihiel salient, where the
German lines thrust forward beyond
Verdun on the west, might offer a
chance for Foch's favorte pincer tao
tics some officers think. There are
indications that this front is held
by Americans with the exception of
the detenses Of Nerdun itself and the
lines southeast of that city. If Gen
eral Pershing should strike suddenly
toward Metz and meet with any sue
cess. it is thought the enemy might
be forced to evacuate the whole St.
Mihiel bend and that the pursuit of
that retirement could be expanded
at will into action of whatever scope
Marshal Foch had authorized.

ers here that Marshal Foch has
mapped out a plan by which he hopes
to prevent the enemy from settling
into his old lines and reverting again
to trench warfare. 1t is argued that
if the enemy attempts to hold the
Hindenburg line or such of it as he
can, he will have to mass reserves TO

A new attack far to the south and
east of the present battle area would
compel him to rush reserves to that
front and it is in such an attack that
many officials are confident that Cen

ployed.
1t is noted no effort has been made
by Marshal Foch to extend the action

WILSON'S
UNDER ARREST
IN BOMB CASE
One Of Pair Arrested at Home
Of Widow Of Man Hanged
for the Haymarket
Explosion.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Two men of the
name of Wilson are in custody in
connection with the planting of a
bomb in the federal building Wednes-
day and both have been identified as
having been in the post office short
ly before the explosion that killed
four persons and manned many 9TH
ers. States Attorney Hoyne said
one of the Wilson's was the man
who placed the bomb.
John w. Wilson, arrested last
night, was once clerk for William
D. Haywood, convicted secretary of
the |. w. w. He said he was in
the federal building shortly before
the explosion, but simply to assist
Haywood, who was there when the
bomb was detonated.
Arrested at Home of Mrs. Spies.
Harry Wilson was arrested at the
home OF Nina Van Zant Spies, widow
of August Spies, who was hanged
for connection with the Haymarket
riot bomb some thirty years ago.
States Attorney Hoyne tonight said
that this Wilson had been identified,
to his satisfaction, as the man who
ran from the post office few min
utes before the explosion.
Both Wilson's proclaim their in
nocence, despite long questioning by
the police and federal and county de-
tectives. Mrs. Spies was also taken
into custody as was Mrs. Minnie
Wymann, at first said to be a sister
of Haywood, but later described as
a friend of the |. w. w.
Mr.. Hoyne's statement says that
Harry Wilson was seen near the
federal building 10 minutes before the
explosion carrying a bundle that
seemed to be heavy and another
witness says he saw him place a
bundle by radiator near the Adams
street entrance of the federal build
ing just before the explosion. A
receipt found in his pocket showed
that he had paid the expenses of an
|. W. w. meeting last Sunday night.
Leaders Taken to Prison.
Ninety-three members of the I. w.
W., including Secretary William D.
Haywood, were placed aboard a spe-
cial train on the Rock Island road
tonight under heavy guard to be TAX
en- TO Fort Leavenworth prison to
serve the terms imposed by Judge
K. NJ. Lands after they had been
found guilty of violating the espion-
age act in fighting the selective draft
and opposing the war otherwise.
All efforts of the convicts to OBJ
tain bail or legal delays were
abandoned today after many efforts
had been made to keep the men from
prison.

~ fhSSSSsatSo 1885,
The Germans are giving ground
over the 150-mile front from Ypres
10 Rheims.
Particularly heavy defeats have
been inflicted on them by the French
in the old Noyon salient, and by the
French and Americans in the regioil
between the Vesle and the Aisne,
east of scissors.
To the north, the British have
pushed their lines eastward at num-
crous points for important gains and
daily are increasing the menace
against the entire German line.
Ham and Chauny Taken.
In the old Noyon salient the
French have captured the important
junction towns of Ham and Chauny,
with their railroads and high roads
leading respectively into St. Quentin
and Lafers. Across the canal Du
Nord, they have penetrated at var
ious points to a depth exceeding six
miles.
The little forest of Coucy, the
western portion of the great wooden
sector east of Laon that has barred
a direct advance eastward. has been
entirely taken, and across the Ailette
river General Mangin's forces have
reoccupied additional points which
have brought them abreast the old
German defense line, outhanking the
present German line in this region
and that north OF the Aisne, which is
now pressing backward toward the
Chemin Des Danes.
Americans Make Progress.
The latest French official report
records that French troops on the
north bank of the Aisne have reoc-
cupied all their trenches and says
that eastward the Americans have
made progress in the region of Vii
lers-En-Prayeres and Revillon which
brings their front appreciably nearer
the Aisne and gives them a position
which dominates the territory SOUTH
eastward toward Rheims. Much pro-
baby will depend on this dominat.
ing position together with the pres
sure that the French to the east may
bring in starting a retrograde move
by the Germans from the Rheims sec-
tor.
ST. Quentin Menaced.
With the old Noyon salient now
practically blotted out-with all it's
roads and strategic points in the
hands OF the French and with St.
Quentin seriously menaced by the
British and the Germans in retreat
from the Vesle to the Aisne, it seems
apparent that the enemy soon must
re-estabish their battle front in the
west.
F"-t OF Peronne the British are
advancing over front of approxi-
matelv seven miles toward St. Quen-
tin. having captured many towns.
Where the enemy has attempted re-
sis:ance It has quickly been over
come.
In the north, further gains have
been made in the direction Of Cam
hrai and on the Lys salient Field

ed in successfully narrowing down
what remains of the old salient.

Brie, Les Mesnil, Doignt and Athies
wood all have been taken. Progress
is reported east of these places.
The enemy has been driven from
east and northwest of Peronne. Over
the whole area, from where the Ger
mans are retreating on this large sec
ton Of the front, many fires are rag
ing and numerous explosions have
been heard. Villages are aAame be-
tween the British positions and the
Hindenburg line. Here and in the
northern areas the Germans are burn-
ing quantities OF materials.
The British have reached the
Athies-Ham road and are on the out
skirts of Bussu At Nurlu there has
been heavy fighting. Strong German
forces fighting desperately with ma
chine guns ana trench mortarS have
caused the British to pause.
Huns Hustling Guns Away.
Along the whole front from the
southern extremity to the Bapaume-
Cambria road the enemy artillery fire
is dwindling, indicating the Germans
are making strenuous efforts to get
their guns back of the Hindenburg
defenses.
In the Queant area the British, af-
ter severe fighting, occupied the ridge
south of Moeuvres and captured more
German posts around Havrincourt
wood. South OF Havrincourt wood

Sufficient Supply, Frequently Renewed,
Is as Necessary as Proper
Amount Of Food.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Ag~riculture.)
If your flock Of poultry has not been
doing as we'll as you think it ought to,
perhaps 1t is because you have not
been providing the chickens with a
supply of fresh, pure drinking water.
OF course, lack of thrift and low egg
yields may be due to a number of other
certain causes, such as poor stock, poor
feed Cloth quality and quantity, bad
housing conditions, diseases, presence
of lice and mites, and lack of care.
But for some reason many poultry
raisers who give attention to these
items sometimes neglect the water
supply. A supply Of pure drinking wa
ter frequently renewed is as necessary
for poultry as sufficient amounts of
food.
There are two different types of
drinking vessels for poultry in COM
mon use: Open vessels-pails, pans,
crooks and the like; and drinking foun-
tains so constructed that dust and dirt
cannot get into the water except by
wa! VI a very small exposed surface.
These quite opposite types Of drink
ing vessels are about equally popular
with poultry keepers. Open vessels
catch more dirt and dust, but are more
easily cleaned. Closed fountains may
be used much longer without cleaning,
but if allowed to become foul are hard.
er to clean thoroughly.
Placing open drinking vessels on a
shelf a foot or more above the floor
prevents the hens from scratching
coarse litter into them, but does not
keep out the dust which floats in the
air and settles in the water.
Thoroughly rinsing open vessels once
a day and scalding drinking fountains
once or twice q week will usually keep
them as clean as necessary.
