Carrier Pigeon With

. Captured by Boy

A carrier I, con bearing a mes
sage in a tiny envelope tied about
its neck, flew to Omaha and was
caught early Saturday morning by
Robert Mccormick, son OF Mrs.
Mike Mccormick, 5000 Poppleton
street.
The little bird was taken to feder-
al authorities in the postofflce
building, who will try to find the
owner. They believe that it is car
rier pigeon that has been trained to
carry messages for war purposes
but the note indicates that it was
written by young boy to his chum'
Officials maintain, however. that
It may be a clever cipher note sent
by pro-Germans and insist that the
seeming simplicity Of it causes them
10 regard it with suspicion.
The note says. Hello, Ned; /
hope you get this message ! am
sending by my pigeon. If he gets
there we can send messages back
and forth all the time. So long
I'll see you Saturday. Phil"

Potato inspection Will
Prove Benefit to Nebraska

Government inspection and grad.
ing of Nebraska grown potatoes is
now in effect, and according to Food
Administrator Wattles it will result
in their ranking with the potatoes
grown in Colorado, Wyoming and
Idaho, in quality and price.
Owing to the fact that there was
no inspection, or grading, on all the
markets of the country, though the
quality was good, the reputation OF
Nebraska grown potatoes was bad"
said Mr.. Wattles. The present sys-
tenn of handling them, he thinks,
puts them on a parity with the best.
Announcement is made of the ap-
pointment of the following named
inspectors, who will work in the ter
ritory in which they reside, and will
be clothed with power to inspect,
grade and certify to the quality of
potatoes: G. A. Stannard. Gordon;
E. J. Furman, Hay Springs; c. F.
Howe, Ajnsworth; Anton Jensen,
Rushville; H. H. Pierce, Heming-
ford; Fay E. Abbott, Belmont; A. F.
Bennett, Marsland, and A. H. Grove,
Alliance.
There will be a charge of 81 a car
for inspection and grading, to pay
the inspectors for their time. After
being graded, a government tag will
be attached to the car and sealed,

British Get Behind
Germans, So Swifth
Is Picardy Advance

British Headquarters in france,
Sept. 2S.-(Reuter's. 1.-THE results
of yesterdays battle were seen to-
day to be greater than they appeared
last night, both in material and tao
teal achievements.
From the moment when the front
line advanced at dawn yesterday
the great forward movement began
to extend miles in depth. The
irresistible momentum of the well
ordered masses streaming along the
roads seemed to carry a pressure
which the Germans could not STEM
1t was not surprisig, therefore, to
hear that all the detectives Of the
day were obtained, which meant that
the British had gone forward to an
extreme depth of about five miles
through most formidable and in
tricate network of defenses. So re-
markable was the British progress
that not only field batteries, but
heavy 6o-pounders, were brought up
to the western fringe of Bourbon
wood and were raking it before the
enemy had completed the withdraw
al Of his hear guard.
Converging tactics worked ad-
mirably and in several places strong
bodies of Germans were reported
facing the wrong way" which
meant that the British had worked
around behind them unnoticed.
Tanks played a very useful part in
cleaning out the machine gun-in-
tested thickets of Quarry wood and
in putting down an attempt at street
fighting in Bourbon village. In the
region of Graincourt, west of Cam
brai, the Hindenburg line was most
heavily held.

Plans to systematic the delivery

ing plans which will avoid, during

cries.
In congested districts it may even
be suggested that ice companies
adopt cash and carry stations.

Nail Lie Circulating
About Disposition Of
Clothing to Belgians

Rumors to the effect that cloth.
ing now being collected throughout
the country for the Belgians will
eventually fall into the hands oil
the Germans have been disturbing
the course of the present drive. Re.
Gently Gould Dietz, chairman of the
Omaha chapter of the American
Red Cross, wired to central division
for information on this matter and
has just received a reply:
The following telegram written
by Herbert Hoover answers the
charge now being circulated that the
clothing now being collected by
American Red Cross for Belgium
civilians will ultimately fall into
hands of the Germans. "All clothing
collected in America for Belgium
is consigned to the Commission for
Belgian Relief in Rotterdam, placed
in sealed barges and sent into Bel
GUM to the neutral Holland Spanish
committee which, working under the
protection of Ho.land-Spanish min
lister in Brussels. controls final dis
tribution of this clothing among
Belgium civilians and accounts to
the commission for every article OF
clothing sent to it. Absolutely none
of this clothing falls into German
hands"
J. w. Jardine, in charge Of the
Omaha drive, reports that dona-
tons now being received are in ex-
cellent condition, and good guam
titles are coming in, but our quota
is large one and much more good,
warm clothing can be used.

Americans Assigned
Most Important Post
In Advance bu FOch

London, Sept. zs.-The victory
of the American army in France
has evoked tributes, not only
from the British and French cor
respondents with the American
army, but from all the English
papers. That Marshal Foch dele
gated it to the most important
post in his latest advance is sig
nifcant Of his estimate of the
quality OF the Americans. The
military correspondent of the
Westminster Gazette says:
"The public need not be at all
concerned if the French advance,
for the moment. should not prove
to be deep. What matters is the
American squeeze. If that gets
home, and all present appear
ances are favorable, German OPP
position in the Champagne sector

the Hindenburg quadrilateral will

BRITISH FORD
CANAL DU N0RD
UNDER BARRAGE
Difficult and Dangerous Task
Accomplished in Advance
Against Germans at
Cambria.

London, Sept. 28.--English and
Canadian troops faced most for
midable problem at the first step Of
their assault this morning, says the
correspondent of the Mail, tele-
graphing from the front and de-
scribng the passage over the Canal
Du Nord, west of Cambria.
Only between Inchy and Moeu-
vres was it possible to cross the
canal. Even in this restricted sector
there was only small frontage over
which the British could fling their
columns to come in direct touch
with the enemy. A great part of
the British troops participating in
the attack had to pass through this
:.arrow doorway. Along this front
the Germans had not withdrawn
their field guns as they had further
south.
The passags was accomplished
under British artillery fire, described
by prisoners as "murderous.'
Once across the canal the British
troops carried out most compli-
Gated scheme of development with
wonderful success. A number Of
divisions were seen moving for
ward in different directions. Some
troops that crossed the canal near
Inchy swung toward Bourbon from
the northeast. Some which crossed
near Moeuvres, which had been
wiped off the map, swung to the
southeast. They had outflanked
and were behind the Hindenburg
support line and now moved along
and behind it where there was no
barbed wire and no parapets be-
fore them.
Some of these troops stormed
Graincourt from the southeast and
found themselves almost behind the
German garrisons in the neighbor-
hood of Flesquieres. These enemy
forces had expected 4 frontal at
tack.
As soon as these tactical maneu-
vers were we'll under way other
troops, starting late in the day,
stormed the line and in spite of op-
position from the troops holding
it went clean across it. This series
of successes brought the British
troops from Ribecourt on the south
to Bourbon wood, on the north, into
a more or less straight and simple
formation, and the initial phase Of
the battle was over.

HUNS1ROkGHOLD
near LAON TAKEN
BY MANG|N'S men
Fort MaIma.son Falls and En-
tire Line From Vailly to
VauxaiIIon Moves
Forward.

Paris, Sept. 2S.--General Mangin
has captured Fort Malmaison, one
OF the strongholds southwest of
Laon, according to the war Office
announcement tonight. He now
holds this position strongly.
With the French Army on the
Aisne Front, Sept. 2S,-Generai
Mangin's troops advanced today to
Fort Malmaison. The Germans re-
acted violently at certain points,
giving the impression that they
were protecting retirement else
where.
The entire French line from
Vailly to Vauxaillon moved forward
in the direction of the Aisne canal.
This evening the French occupy
a line south of Brancourt, north of
Pinon, Vaudesson, Fort De La NAL
maison, Hamerei farm and Rouge
Mason.
The Germans had prepared a trap
at Fort Malmaison, but the explo-
sion did no damage to the French
troops, thanks to precautions that
had been taken.
Latest reports from the Cham
payne front say that the battle con-
tirues with the utmost violence.
The Germans are making a desper-
ale stand there to enable the retire.
ment of forces gravely threatened at
other points along the front. The
impression this evening Is that the
enemy Is making great efforts to
withdraw his forces to the second
airy position on the Hindenburg
line.
The enemy Is fighting with the
energy of despair in front of Cen
eral Gourauro's army. Although
the number of his guns and ma
chine guns continues to multiply,
our advance has passed beyond
Somme-Py, the Grateruil plateau
and Fontaine- En-Dormois.
The Germans are evacuating the
ravine between Vailly and the
Chemin Des Danes. The French
have occupied Jouy and Airy and
are advancing. Numerous fires have
been observed behind the German
lines in that region and further
south along the north bank of the
Aisne.
