MRS. ROOSEVELT
PRAISES NURSES
FOR Brave WORK
Says Needle Work Guild Does
Greatest Amount Of Good to
Greatest Number Of
Persons.

Just on the eve OF the nationwide
drive for $4,000 nurses for Red Cross
work, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.
speaking informally at the miniature
base hospital Saturday afternoon
gave the cause the best endorsement
possible.
1T is my greatest comfort that
there are American nurses to care
for my boys if they should be woun-
ded over there The American nur ses
are the best trained nurses in the
world and they are so very sympa-
thetic."

both Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt
wear. 1t is for DR.. Derby, Ethel
Roosevelt's husband.
Before calling at the little hospital
where a group of Omaha nurses and
society women greeted her. the dis
tinguished guest stopped at the Red
Cross rooms at the Masonic Temple
where she cordially inspected every
branch of the war work, going from
the basement where the packing is
done to the third floor cutting and.
supply department.
One of the workers who especially
interested the former mistress Of the
White House was Mrs. M. B. New
man, who is president OF the needle
work guild.
1T IS one of my pet works." she
conhded to the hospital garment
workers. She inquired how the work
was carried on here and quoted her
husband as saying:
"The needle work guild does the
greatest amount of good to the great
est number of people with the small
est amount of effort" The guild
members work continually making
garments. Once each year the work
is assembled and distributed among
all local charitable organizations.
Mrs. Roosevelt was delighted with
her trip to Fort Omaha Following
luncheon she was the guest of the Of
ficers of the National League for
Woman's Service, who showed her
the army post and drove her to Flor
ence field, where she saw several ball
looms making fights.
After her tour of inspection Mrs.
Roosevelt was taken to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. N. Dietz, where she
rested until dinner time. This is her
first visit to Omaha.

Then the Council Bluffs Elks' quar-

Mr.. Brogan, president Of the

This Omaha Family Made Big
Hit With Former President

Ex-President Roosevelt's visit to
Omaha is reminiscent of an honor
given one Omaha family during a
tour of Iowa made by him in 1904.
Because of the presidents prefer.
ence for large families, Iowa cities
held contests for the most interesting
family groups. The seven sons and
one daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kennebeck. then living in Carroll, Ia,
was given first prize by Des Moines.
If enthusiasts for the great race
suicide enemy were presenting facts
at present, the Kennebeck family
could be made even more interesting
because since that time another son
has been added to the family, and this
one is worthy of special mention be-
cause he was awarded prize at re-
cent baby show.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I0 local contemporary says
IA General Leonard Wood is
the ablest general wearing
an American uniform; that his
genius has been sought by the
allies abroad and that he is be-
ing kept at home because of the
army caste system, he not being
a West Point man.
How did one newspaper ac-
quire this vast knowledge? BY
what test has it determined the
fitness of General Wood and
decided he is a better man than
General Pershing to be in COM
mand of our forces in France?
When did the allied govern
ments ask for his services,
what are the facts to justify the
charge that he is barred from
service abroad because he is not
a West Pointer?
Is a newspaper that makes
wild statements seriously ques-
tioning the ability and honesty
of our leaders helping win the
war or is it doing something
else?

CUTTING THE RED TAPE

m EXERCISING for the first
" time the power conferred
upon him by the Over
man act, the President removes
aviation from the control of the
Signal Corps and makes it a
separate branch of military ser
vice, directed by John D. Ryan.
The relationship thus sum-
marily ended has long been a
classic example of bureaucracy
gone to seed. When flying ma
chimes were first known to be
practicable, their use was
placed in the hands of the Sig
nal Corps of the army, for the
reason that it was familiar with
observation balloons. Almost
from the beginning, however,
it has been evident that, quail
fled as the corps undoubtedly
is for its own duties, it is, by or

GREAT CROWD SAYS
FAREWELL TO BOYS
Forty-Two Umatilla County
Lads Leave to Fight for
Democracy.

"our hearts and the hearts of no.
100000 American people are with
you, and win be with you to the end. !"
This was the assurance voiced by
Harry Chambers in short farewell
to the AZ UmatilIa county boys who
We're called in the latest draft and
left on train number this morning
for Fort Mcdowell.
I'VE must realize that there is no
halfway house between victory and
defeat; we must fight until the Ger
man war lords are forced tothefr'
knees and given a taste of their own
medicine.' Mr.. Chambers declared,
and the crowd cheered. "Our contri-
button to the fight will be men, to
the last man, if necessary. the pro-
ducts of our soil, and our vast
wealth." he said, and the drafted men
an dtheir relatives and friends cheer
ed agan.
The Pendleton band, the Home
Guard, Mayor Vaughan and other
city and county officials and huge
crowd of relatives and friends
marched down Main street with the
boys to the depot platform, where
several selections were played, short
talks made, the boys and band cheer
ed and farewells said.
In behalf of the boys, Frank Reh-
berg of Albee, thanked the people
for turning out as they did and said
that such a farewell surely made the
boys feel more cheerful and more able
to go and do their best. Ray,
brother of Rehberg, went with him
this morning; another one, Carl, is
at Camp Cody. New Mexico, having
been called on April 2, and another,
Arthur, is in the current draft in
Idaho. One of the two brothers still
at home also expects to go soon. for
he is in the 1900 list. The boys are
sons of Mr. and Mrs. ]. G. Rehberg.
1t was hard to say goodbye and
even most Of the boys had tears in
their eyes before the train pulled
out, but there was one who laughed
to the last. He was a young Indian
lad, and he held on to his sweet
hearts hand bravely, despite the fact
that two other Indian misses were
with her, and all three laughed with
him. When the train whjstledi he
stopped down and kissed her quickly
and ran, and she put her shawl over
her mouth and laughed again. But
she watched as long as she could see
him,

Knocks Man Down,
Thanked by Court

ALBEMARLE, N c., May 31.-A
rather unusual case was called in the
county court before r. L. Brown
judge, when Tom Vanderberg and
Frank Leonard were arraigned to
answer the charge Of. having engaged
in an affray on the streets of Albe-
marie. The evidence disclosed that
apderberg was making rather perni-
cious remarks about the American
soldiers and went far enough to say
that all the American soldiers were
a set of scoundrels- Leonard, who
has two brothers on the front in
France was standing nearby when
he made this remark and at once
dealt him a blow which landed him
about five steps on the street He
then went to Vanderberg and helped
him up and after he had lifted him
from the street proceeded to give an
othe rome a little harder than the
first. He was about to deal him
third when a by-stander intervened
and prevented any further assault.
After the evidence was all In,
Judge Brown discharged Leonard
with the thanks of the court for what
he had done for VanderberG and ad-
nlonished him to make 1t little
rougher on the next person he heard
dealin gin such language about Am
erfcan soldiers or Red Cross workers
Vanderberg was found guilty.
