In Fine Recital

Miss Evelyn Patterson. who ap-

prised the large audience with the
artistry and temperament OF her

were no signs Of the nervousness so
common with young pianists Her
interpretations were excellent and
her work showed most perfect I'M

Patterson perhaps did the best work
but the "Valse" by Moskowslxi was
the most pleasing to the listeners.
The work OF Miss Alice Hare in her
two readings was also well received
and she showed promise OF great
with future training.

WATTLES PUTSO.k.
ON FINDINGS OF
BREAD INQUIRY
Omaha Bakers Are Officially
Ordered to Sell Products
at Seven and a Half
Cents Per Pound.

The finding of Referee Amos Hene-
ly in the investigation made by the
food administration as to the cost of
making bread in Omaha has been Of
flcially approved by State Food Ad-
ministrator Wattles, and is now an
order. s.t.'
1t requires that Omaha bakers
wholesale bread at 71z cents per
pound loaf. The finding of Referee
Henely was that the bakers can pro-
duce one-pound loaves of bread at
a cost of 6.3557 cents each. '...
The bakers at the hearing in the
Office of Attorney John w. Parish
last week contended that they must
have 8 cents.
Salaries Too High.
The hearing brought out the fact
that in their overhead charges they
had included salaries for the propri-
etors, in some cases $4,000 each per
year.
Referee Henely ordered these SAL
aries slashed to $4,000. Wattles ap-
proved.
Joseph Fradenburg, attorney rep
resenting the bakers in the hearing,
was asked if he is considering an ap-
peal or whether he considers an ap-
peal possible.
II wouldn't care to discuss the mat
ter" he said.
I'm view of the facts" the referees
finding read in part, 1T seems that
during the country's present crisis the
bakers should be willing to cooper
ate to the extent of selling bread at
wholesale at 7H cents a pound loaf,
and be satisfied with smaller profits
than they are now receiving"
Wattles Approves Cut.
In regard to the salary of $3.50
week which Mr.. Peterson and Mr..
Pegau each allow themselves as ex-
ecutives in. the Petxson & Pegau
bakery, which salaries are charged
against overhead expense and the cost
of producing bread, the referee rec
commended that these salaries be re-
duced to $4,000 year each, and again
Food Administrator Wattles ap-
proved.
1t was also found that the expense
of sale and delivery at the plant of
the Jay Burns Baking company should
be reduced by more than $4,000 a
month, and that wrapping and pack
ing expenses could be cut down about
500. Z

Short Speeches.

New York, March 1.-Prominent

"reactionariesp 50 -
Wilcox Praises Hays.
Mr.. Wilcox, in complimenting the
new chairman, said:
"He stands for the country first,

Gus prosecution of the war, before he
seeks partisan. advantage. l am
highly gratifed that my successor in
office is man of the type of Will
Hays"
Mr.. Hays was quoted as saying
that it was the function of the ma
tional committee to obtain the elec-

American Gunners Destroy
German Position in RetaIia-
tion for Gas Attack: Six
Deaths Avenged.
lBy Associated Press.l .

With the American Army in France,
Thursday, Feb, 2S.-Swift retribution
has fallen upon the German batteries
which this week bombardcd the Amer
iean trenches northwest Of Toul with
gas shells,
American heavy artillery concen-
trated its fire on the German minen-
werfer batteries for half an hour to-
day and obliterated the position.
Many direct hits with high explo-
sive shells were made by the Ameti-
can gunners. Timbers we're thrown
high. in the air and explosions OF
enemy ammunition and gas resulted.
The ground about the German bat
teries was churned upside down and
if there were any German soldiers
there they suffered death.
Thus far six men have died from
the effects Of the German gas shells,
More than 80 are in hospitals recov-
ering from gas poisoning. Most OF
these cases, however, are slight and
only one man is reported to be in a
grave condition.
Gunners Get Range. '..
Airplane photographs aided the
American gunners in their destructive
fire against the German batteries. The
photographs, taken yesterday, dis
closed the exact location OF the min
enwerfers, with the result that it did
not take the gunners long to even up
the score with the enemy. H..
The number of enemy shells falling
within the American lines has de-
creased slightly in the last "a hours,
but the artillery fighting has been
lively. -
While an empty American ammuni-
ton train was halted at place called
Dead MANS point, stray enemy shell
dropped near by and killed two men,
two horses that had run away and
wounded four men.
In certain town behind the front
a German shell exploded near the
door leading to a telephone dugout,
blocking the 2passageway The opera
tors in the dugout, although in con-
siderable danger, continued to work
the important lines, at the same time
calling for help. Soldiers were sent to
the dugout and the passageway re-
opened ,......
