Seaman Crump, Halifax
Survivor, Visits in Omaha

A. Crump, seaman of the British
navy, who is on extended shore leave,
is visiting old friends in Omaha.
Crump was aboard H. NJ. S. Niobe,
which was anchored in the Halifax
harbor during the horrible disaster
caused by the explosion of the cargo
of the Mont Blanc. In telling of the
catastrophe Crump says that he was
below decks when the explosion oc-
Cured and attributes that to the fact
that he is alive and we'll today.
The force OF the explosion, he says,
lifted the Niobe clear out of the water
and just as it dropped back, a huge
tidal wave struck It with such force
that it threatened to capsize the ship
Nearly all the crew was on deck
watching the burning Mont Blanc, and
Is were killed, IS are missing and 10
were wounded. Not a man who was
standing on the deck escaped.
Crump tells of the rescue work,
and of the horrible scenes in the har-
Dor. He praises the work OF the crew
OF the United States hospital ship,
Old Colony, which was in the harbor
at the time of the explosion. The
Niobe was Immediately turned into
a hospital ship and those who escaped
injury were. assigned to rescue work.

COUNCIL DECIDES
BUDGET THURSDAY
Commissioners to Apportion
Funds Among the Various
Departments After Trim.
ming Them All.

City commissioners will sit on
Thursday as a budget board to appor-
ton a general fund of $l750,00O
among the various municipal depart
ments.
Total of the amounts wanted by
the departments exceeds the general
fund, wherefore arises the annual Of
deal OF trimming down to meet the
available funds.
A recent amendment to the city
charter removed maximum funds for
the police, fire and a few other de-
partments. Superintendent Kugel
wants $278,S00 for 1918, as against
$249 900 for 1917. Patrolmen and de-
tectives will receive increases of pay
beginning January /. Superintendent
Withnell of the fire department will
require $4l3,ll0 and II his men are
given a $40 raise instead of SIS he will
ask for $430000 for the year. 1t is
practically assured that the police and
fire departments will be allowed more
than 100000.
Heads Of departments in the city
hall are asking for increases for many
of their employees, the amounts rang
ing from $40 to SIS month.
There has been some discussion on
the subject of abandoning or reducing
some of the boards, but this has not
yet been formally brought up. :
The general fund for 1918 is $780,
900 more than 1917 and it is said it
will be absorbed by increases OF sal
ary, wages and cost of materials.

Navy Recruiting Records
Broken for This District

The record OF 1916 with I'll recruits
for the navy through the Omaha sta
tion has been shot all to pieces" by
the phenomenal record of 1917, even
though allowances are made for the
fact that the nation is now in state
of war. During the last half of the
year l,s00 recruits qualified for the
navy. This, Of course, includes the big
drive during the fore part Of Decem-
Der.
According to Ensign Condict, in
charge Of the local recruiting station,
5000 applicants applied, but only one
out of four was enlisted on account
of the rigid physical tests. This is a
big average, he says, and is due to the
fact that he had the pick Of the best
young men of three states-Nebraska,
South Dakota and the greater portion
of Iowa, which territory comes within
the jurisdiction OF the Omaha station.

Boy Scouts Collect Old
Books For the U. S. Soldiers

Have you any books to give to
the soldiers to read? If so prepare
to give them for Boy Scout will call
for them Wednesday,"
This is what Boy Scout Master
English asks every Omaha person.
One thousand Boy Scouts will can
vass the city between Wednesday
and Friday in an endeavor to get a
good supply Of reading material for
the soldiers of Forts Omaha and
Crook.
GO to the attic and forsaken
closets" Mr.. English advised the
scouts to tell the people of Omaha,
"and get out the yellow backs and
the green backs which were dis
carded long ago because they did
not match the furniture of the library.
Get these books which are no longer
of any use to you, clean them up and
have them ready for the scouts"
