Most visitors to the Grand Canyon see it only from the rim; a small pro portion take the extra day to descend to the river. and still fewer the two days necessary to spend a night in it's depths. But it is necessary to see the canyon from within if one is to have even a superficial idea Of it. The rim view is noble in the extreme; it is in spring, 10 some even terrifying; to all it affords an emotional experience whose memory remains for a lifetime. But. after all. it presents only one as- pect of very many, for the great gulf offers sensations of infinite variety.
 For this reason there is probably no great place in the world seen by so many and known to SO few The su- premacy of the Grand Canyon in the worlds scenic gallery is universally acknowledged. Not far from a hun dred thousand persons visit it annual ly. The boundaries proposed for the national park which congress is now considering inclose about a thousand square miles of a magnificence which phrase and photograph fail even to suggest.
 The fact that so few who visit the Grand Canyon really see it grows out Of the public disposition to consider it a side trip of the transcontinental journey. People planning to spend weeks or months at the Pacific resorts accept the popular misconceptiOn that ''the canyon can be done in a day or two" en route Many leave it with some realization that they have merely looked in through a crack in the fence, but. with prearranged reservations. they naturally hold to their programs; besides, they argue, nobody else stays more than a day or two. so, inspite of appearances, that must be all it is worth; besides, hotel, carriage, and trail accommodations are organized on the idea that the stay will be brief Thus the greatest spectacle of it's kind. and many think of any kind. in the whole world has become a side show to a western vacation.
 This colossal blunder naturally would cure itself in good time if the

Every Person in City Given
Opportunity to Invest in
Bonds of Third Liberty
--latest Report of -Four
y Omaha Committees
Liberty bonds are selling fast

Liberty bonds are selling fast in
Omaha. :
At noon the Omaha Liberty loan
"tank" was moved by the captains OF
the sales teams after their meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce. Reports
were made by the captains. The
Central High School Cadet hand fur
nished music. The Omaha tank"
was moved to the $2,500,000 mark.
The state Liberty loan tank" was
moved to the $6,000,O0O mark.
The drive is now on in earnest un-
der the plan adopted by the commit
tee for Omaha. This is to give every
one an opportunity to buy bonds.
There was no doubt but that Omaha
would have subscribed its quota in
an hour if a mass meeting had been
held at the Chamber of Commerce
Monday, the opening day of the cam
paign, but the committee decided to
give the small buyers a chance to
show their patriotism. To this end a
house to house canvass is being
made. Business men are also So
licited. Some of the business men
probably are not members of the
Chamber of Commerce and would not
attend a mass meeting.
Scouts Move Tank"
Saturday the Omaha tank" will be
moved by Troop 5 of the Boy Scouts,
V. c. Hascall, scoutmaster. One
scout will be stationed atop of the
Woodmen of the World building, and
as reports are being made at the cap
tains' meeting in the Chamber Of
Commerce. the scout will wig-wag in-
structions for the movement of the

Sam Burns has charge of the move
ment of the Omaha tank.
The state tank" will be moved
Saturday by cowboys from the stock
yards.

BRITISH FORCED BACK.
Attacking yesterday in the neigh
borhood of Ploegsteert, the Germans
pressed back the British to the vi
cinity of Neuve Eglise, it is an
nounced officially.
Last night the Germans captured
Merville. Heavy fighting is contin-
uing in the neighborhood of Merville
and Neufberauin.
On the remainder of the northern
battle front there is little change.
North of Festubert the British re-
gained ground by a counter-attack.
On the front between Loisne and the
Lave river German attacks were re-
pulsed.
The official announcement says:
1 Germans Take Merville.
: Severe and continuous fighting
took place last night in the neighbor-
hood Of Merville and Neufberquin,
in both of which localities the enemy
is continuing his pressure and has
made progress. Merville was cap
tured by the enemy during the night.
Attacks made by the enemy yes
terday in the neighborhood of Ploeg-
steert succeeded, after heavy fighting,
in pressing our troops back to the
neighborhood of Neuve Eglise to new
positions.
"On the remainder of the northern
battle front from the situation is
virtually unchanged. A part OF our
positions into which the enemy
forced his way north of Festubert
was regained by counter-attack.
"On the front between Loisne and
the Lave river and to the north hos
tile attacks have been repulsed. Fight
ing is continuing on the whole front
north of La Basse canal as far as
Hollebeke."

GERMANS STARVE,
SHOOT and BEAT
WAR PRISONERS
Untold CrueIties inflicted on
French and British Captured
Barred in Official Report
of Government.
(By Associated Press.l

London, April l2.-How British
prisoners of war in Germany are en-
slaved, starved and subjected to un-
told cruelties is related in an official
report of government committee
made public today.
The detention and employment oi
noncommissioned officers and men
captured on the western front, says
the report, "have brought on these
prisoners an amount of unjustihable
suffering for which it would be hard
to find a parallel in history"
The report is based on an accum-
mutation of evidence~a and shows that
prisoners have been employed con
stantly under she'll fire and that many
have been killed by British guns; that
they have been kicked and beaten, de-
MED clothing and adequate shelter;
have often been shot and that deaths
from starvation and overwork have
been constant,

CUMM|NS FIGHTS
BILL INCREASING
WILs0N'sP0WERs
Reorganization Plan Opposed
Vigorously by Iowa Senator,
Who Pledges Support in
All War Measures.

Washington, April N12.-Prospects
of indefinite senate debate over the
Overman bill with its broad grant OF
authority to the president to reor-
ganize government departments
caused administration leaders today
\ to decide upon laying aside the meas
ure tomorrow, probably for several
days, in ordr to pass the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill and othep urgent legislation.
Renewal of discussion of the reor-
ganization bill is planned some time
next week with the administration
spokesman announcing determination
to insist upon its passage unamended.
On the other hand, the opposition is
preparing to continue the fight for
limiting the presidents authority.
Returns to Attack.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, repub-
lcan, returned to his attack on the
measure today, while Senator Hollis
of New Hampshire, democrat, spoke
in its defense. In the second lengthy
address the Iowa senator has made
in opposition to the bill Mr.. Cum
minis deplored what he called dis
position on the part of the president
to criticise those who conscientiously
oppose administration policies, and
urged a more temperate" attitude.
Demands of opponents Of the bill
|Senator Hollis asserted, are based
largely on the view that the president
might abuse powers granted. He said
the president already has authority
over the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and other bureaus if their acts
are adverse to the governments in
terests in the war.
Senator Smith of Georgia, demo-
crat, challenged the statement and
said that interference by the presi.
dent with the Interstate Commerce
commission would be an "impeacha.
bic offense."
Praises Wilson's High Ideals.
Senator Cummins praised the pres
ident and his high ideals and pledged
nonpartisan loyalty to the chief ex-
ecutive in doing everything possible
to assist him in winning the war, but
added:
"When the presidenf asks for leg
islative powers in civil establishments
and power that does not concern the
commander in chief, then he must
grant to me the freedom and liberty
to exercise my judgment according to
my own conscience, the same as he
desires.
1T is just as disloyal for the presi,
dent to denounce members of con-
gress for the manner in which they
discharge their duties as it is for
them to denounce HIM"

ASK MORE TIME.
The debate on the man power bill
centered largely around discussion
Of requests by Mr.. Dillsn and others
for more time in which to consider
the measure. The government event
ually consented to permit the house,
contrary to custom, to sit on both
Friday and Saturday so as to add
two days to the time for the discus
sion. The bill then entered committee
and an amendment substituting 4s
years for 81 as the age limit was de-
feated by vote Of 262 to 152.
Promise of home rule bill by the
government has not had the smallest
effect in easing the way to conscrip-
ton in Ireland; according to special
dispatches from Dublin.
All Oppose Home Rule.
-- The unionists will not sit quiet and
allow the bill to be rushed through
and the nationalists are more con-
cerned in the defeat of conscription
than in obtaining home rule. In con-
sequence the situation as regards
home rule at present is that nobody
wants it.
Meanwhile, the Irish Times, which
in the past clamored for conscription
and Wednesday endorsed the resolu-
tion of Ulster unionists in parliament
accepting it, yesterday invited John
Dillon to make a bargain with the
government. The Irish Times sug-
gests that in the six weeks before the
machinery for conscription can be- in

BATTLE RAGING FIERCELY.
The Germans are developing great
artillery activity in the southern area.
The Bray-Corbie road is being fiercely
shelled, heralding, it is believed, fur
ther infantry attacks.
In brilliant sunshine the battle is
continuing with ferceness, which has
scarcely tagged since the beginning.
The Germans are throwing in their
reserves in the same prodigal man
mes as in the opening days Of the Of
fensive.
The London evening newspapers,
in reviewing the situation on the
western front, state that in the Wyts-
chaete region the Germans failed to
get the main crest of the ridge. The
Germans have taken the village of
Messines, while the British are hold
ing the outskirts.
GERMANS LOSE HEAVILY.
Attacks on Wytschaete and the
Messines ridge failed, the Germans
losing very heavily in their attack.
At least II divisions. are engaged
on the German side on the front from
Hollebeke to Givenchy, the reviews
declare. that being the number it is
estimated have been thrown into the
fighting up to the present.
This would mean that the Germans
put more than 100000 in action SO far
on this comparatively narrow front of
approximately Is miles, or some 5000
men to every mile of frontage.
Face Grim Prospect.
Ottawa, Ont, April 12.-"It is in
deed obvious that the enemy, backed
by unlimited artillery, is doing what
up to this time has been unprece-
dented in this war. namely, conduct
ing two first class offensives stimuli
taneously, or at the very least, launch
ing second before we had time to
draw away from the first" says a
Reuter- dispatch from London today.
"The prospect is grim for the Brit
ish, but accounts OF the fighting con-
tinue to breathe confidence that the
British, however prolonged the strug-
gle, won't yield to the enemy in what,
it is becoming more clear, is test of
endurance. The keypoints of the
battle are the ridges Of Messines and
Passchendaele, which the Germans are
both endeavoring to outhank and
carry by direct assault. There is no
evidence as yet that the enemy has
gained control of a single bit of rising
ground"

With the British Army in France,
Thursday, April Undetermined
enemy attacks continued today
against points of strategical value
along the new battle front north and
south of Armentieres, from which the
British have withdrawn, the Ger
mans having placed it in a pocket by
driving a wedge on either side of it.
On the extreme right the Germans
today were pounding away against the
British defenses at Givenchy, which
has changed hands numerous times
since the initial onslaught Tuesday.
North of Armentieres the Germans
were showing an equal desire to pos
sess Messines ridge and Wytschaete,
which are dominating positions and
which changed hands several times
Germans in Messines.
The Germans got footing in Mes
sines village and they were still there
this morning, but the British were
clinging to the west ridge and were
keeping the enemy from Wytschaete
In the neighborhood of Ploeg-
steert the enemy again surged for
ward and hard fighting was proceed
ing in this section late today. South
of Armentieres the enemy also deliv-
cred violent assaults.
The British this morning made a
successful counter-attack and forced
the enemy from Paradis, southwest
of Lestrem. This is on the front be-
tween Estaires and Givenchy.
