Germans Had Massed
Great Stores Of Guns
And Shells at Marne

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, July D.-The
tremendous stores of German ammu-
milton found by the Franco-American
troops in the forests of Fere and Riz
leads officers to believe shat the allied
offensive nipped in the bud German
plans for a momentous drive upon
Epernay.
The forests and the surrounding
country north of the Marne were vir-
tually one great arsenal for German
ammunition of all kinds, big gun
shells being particularly numerous.
At places on the edges of the woods
there were large shells stacked like
cord wood over large areas.
Thousands of these shells were in
tended for the German 2l0 millimeter
guns. only few of which have been
captured. The Americans assume
that the Germans withdrew many of
these guns and that others intended
for the great drive had not yet ar
rived when the allied offensive re-
gan.
All through the forests the Ameti-
cans came upon ammunition depots,
at some places more than an acre of
ground being covered with shells of
all caIibers. Some OF the smaller
shells we're labeled "for immediate
use" Along the roads everywhere,
and even in the open places, the shells
were camoufaged with limbs of trees.

WILSON TO PASS

Nationalist Leader Introduces
Proposal In House Of Com

PAS to 1O6.
BY Associated Press.

London, July 29.-The debate in the
House of Commons today on the
Irish question ended in the defeat of
the Irish adherents. The motion of
John Dillon, the nationalist leader,
condemning the governments Irish
policy, was rejected by vote Of 245
to l06.
Mr.. Dillon's suggestion that the
question of Ireland be referred 10
President Wilson was well received
by the house, but as former Premier
Asquith pointed out. it could not be
expected that the president of the
United States would undertake such
an arduous task at this time and the
matter was obviously one which the
British people would have to settle
themselves.
What Dillon Said.
Introducing his resolution which
expresses the view that the true So
luton of the Irish question is to put
into operation without delay in regard
to Ireland the principles laid down by
President Wilson," Mr.. Dillon ad-
mitted that the nationalist party was
in difficulty, but he added. I'VE are
because we have struggled to save the
constitutional position and bring Ire
land into the war, while the govern

Train C0LL|DES
WITH auto AND
CRUSHES NURSE
Miss A|thea Egg|eston, En-.
p|oyed in Council Bluffs,
Killed by Cars; Former
Iy Lived in Omaha.

Miss Althea Eggleston, nurse of
the Council Bluffs Visiting Nurses
association, was killed yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock when a
Great Western passenger train crash
ed into an automobile which she was
driving. The car containing Miss
Eggleston was wedged beneath the
trucks of Pullman car and carried
more than ESQ feet before the train
was stopped.
The accident happened on the Six
teenth street crossing of the Great
Western railroad between Ninth and
Tenth avenues. Miss Eggleston was
driving south on Sixteenth street and
as she reached the crossing found it
blocked by freight train. The train
was uncoupled and she passed through
it directly in front of another train
on a parallel track, screened by the
freight train.
Wrecker Lifts Sleeper.
Trainmen who rushed to the scene
of the accident began frantic efforts
to release the imprisoned woman
when faint cries were heard beneath
the debris. She was conscious when
assistance reached her, but was un-
able to stand the pain of prying off
the wrecked car. A wrecSing crew
was dispatched to the scene and lift
ed the l50-ton car bodily and swung
it away from the wrecked auto.
The injured nurse was rushed to
the Edmundson hospital, where she
died shortly after arriving.
She talked calmly while being re-
moved from the wreckage and on the
way to the hospital Attending
physicians attributed death to in
ternal injuries.
Miss Eggleston had been employed
by the Council Bluffs Visiting Nurse
association for more than a year.
When the association was formed she
was recommended by the Omaha Wis
iting Nurse association, where she
had worked for number of years,
and commenced her duties with the
new organization.
Both Parents Dead.
She came to Omaha from Chicago
where one sister, Miss Esther Egg
gleston, and her stepmother reside
Another sister lives in Cleveland, O.
Both parents are dead.
The car in which Miss Eggleston
was killed was given her two weeks
ago in order to facilitate her work.
She had just learned to run the ma
chine and bystanders say she was
driving with the utmost care when
the accident happened.

Further than becoming nuisance,
'Tabby' now is called unpatriotic. 1t
has been figured that nightly more
shoe leather has been thrown into
discard-er, the yard, by protesting
citizens in Benis park than would
shoe an army. Therefore, "Tabby"
will get his'n from Hoover if he don't
watch out.
And there are other things to COM
plain about the cat, all of which
makes him or her one grand, un.
wanted nuisance.
The problem now is how to keep
the cat out of Bemis park. Watchmen
would never do, for watchmen are not
numerous enough. A direct appeal to
the feline's better nature would never
be heard. An ordinance might do,
but what kind of an ordinance will
keep a cat out of park? That's the
question that is propounded to any
one who thinks of proper remedy
and if the question is not answered,
Bemis Parkers swear that they will
face the city council and leave it up
to that body to give the proper re-
lief.

PATRIOTIC SONG
OF FREMONT GIRL
TAKES At THE DEN
Spirit of Americanism Pre-.
walls as Great Audience
Cheers; Ross Hammond
Gives Address.

Patriotism had the boards at the
Ak-SarBen den last night. Ross
Hammond, editor of a republican
newspaper, explained how republicans
could make the world safe for democ-
racy.
Say, Pal, I Wanta Ask Y'u All
About Nebraska" the patriotic song
written by Nebraska girl, brought
forth cheers from the large audience.
The spirit of -Americanism pervaded
the show from beginning to end.
The quartet of the Fremont home
guards made the biggest impression
of the evening with a series of three
songs written by Miss Beatrice Alder
man of Fremont. "Just Tell Dad I've
Gone Over the Top" and when the
Boys Come Home Again." touched
the hearts Of the audience, but they
simply went wild over the tale of the
Nebraska boy in France who asks his
pal about the bad lands of his home
state.
Adopted for Quartet.
"Say, Pal, I Wanta Ask Y'u All
About Nebraska" captured the hearts
of Director Ben Johnston and Charlie
Black with such effect that enough
copies were at once bought to supply
the Ak-ar-Ben chorus. The song has
been adopted as part of the show and
will be sung at every performance
henceforth.
All of Fremont must have been on
hand, judging from the enthusiasm
which greeted the several features of
the show. George WOLF piloted the
Dodge county delegation. H. L. An
drews was in charge of the Arlington
crowd and E. L. Green escorted the
visitors from Valley.
Ross Hammond spoke briefly of
his experiences in France and the war
zone and said that peace could only
be made by the allies in Potsdam
palace. Hammond is an old member
of Ak-Sar-Ben himself.
Seventy-hve home guards from Ere
mont and large delegation from
Fort Omaha helped to swell the audi
ence.
-Four hundred visitors from Mis-
souri, Valley and Logan are expected
at the den next Monday night, to-
gether with delegations from Nicola

German Chief Explains"
The Failure of U-Boats to
Sink American Transports

Amsterdam, July 26.-The chief of
the German admiralty staff, Admira!
Won Holtzendorff, has explained to
the Cologne Gazette to the best of
his ability the reason why German
U-boats are not sinking American
transports.
He says that owing to the many
points of debarkation that are at the
disposal of the Americans from the
north of Scotland to the Mediterra-
mean, the irregularity of the coming
of the transports and the strong de-
stroyer guards which accompany
them, it is inexpedient for the u
boats to Turk off all these harbors on
the chance Of getting a shot at them.

The first efforts of the guards and
Bavarians were partly successful and
the Americans were forced to with
draw from Sergy and few other po-
sitions, including the town of Ser
inges-et-Nesles. But the Germans
could not force the main body across
the river. Ths stream is narrow and
shallow and Some detachments at
times were driven back, but always
there remained enough Americans on
the north bank to check the German
rushes and in every instance the
Americans returned to the fray with
great spirit. 1t was veteran Ameri-

the terrible onslaught made against it
just influenced the confidence of the
staff that it was more than equal to
anything the crown prince had to Of

ability of the allies to continue the

Referring to a statement attributed
to the British admiral, Sir John yel-
licoe, the former first sea lord, that
the U-boat war was a failure, that
it had ceased to constitute a danger
and that more U-boats were being de-
stroyed than were being built, the
admiral said:
"The statement is incorrect, and if
credited would prove fatal error for
our opponents. The fact is that
merely by appropriating neutral tom
mage the situation has undergone a
temporary amelioration."
