Future Of Many Airmen is Un'

Lacking in Civilian o. d

Paris, Nov. 26.-What will be-
come of the aviators now that the
fighting has ended?
Commercial aviation doubtless
will be extended greatly, but it is a
question whether it will present SUI
ficient attraction to- the men who
have taken up aviation for the dis
tinction to be won in air fighting.
The Aero Club of France up to the
present has issued 10000 pilot
licenses and hundreds of military
pilots have not taken out the Aero
clubs license, to which they are en-
titled.
Inquiry among the French aces
shows that the majority are too
young to be worrying about the
next phase of life, although some.
hope that civilian aviation will offer
satisfactory openings.

my! HOW THEY
CAN FIGHT" SAYS
MAJOR LySAGHT
Tells of American Soldiers
Going "0ver the Top;
,Pershing Right on
the Job.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 26.-(SpeciaD
Governor Neville has received a
letter from Major J. R, Lysaght,
battalion commander of the Three
Hundred and Fourteenth ammuni-
ton train, attached to the Eighty
ninth division. This is the division
which secured its primary training at
Camp Funston. The Three Hundred
and Fourteenth ammunition train is
made up almost exclusively of Ne
braska men. 1t was especially in the
interest of this organization that the
Nebraska building was constructed
at Camp Funston from funds donat-
ed by Nebraskans. The letter fol-
lows:
my Dear Governor Neville: Just
few lines to let you know that |
am still alive and kicking, and I
hope that this letter will find you
in good health. 1t won't be much
of letter, as | am writing it on an
old boche ammunition box, in a
boche dugout which was recently
occupied by an officer, until the
Yanks chased him out, and besides,
the light isn't very good, as all |
have is a small piece of candl,,
but I know that you will excuse any
mistakes under such circumstances.
Our division is making a fine record
for itself and on our last big drive
General Pershing was right there
on the job and watched our division
go over the top, which they did in
fine style.
|, Nothing Can Stop Yanks.
Governor, it was great to see the
infantry go after Mr.. Boche with the
rifle and bayonet, and the good Lord
Himself couldn't have stopped these
Yanks from the middle west. My
God, how they can fight. No won
der the boche wants to quit. At mid
night the artillery barrage started.
1t was very dark night, and a
steady rain, one of those cold and
damp rains, and. while the artillery
kept throwing thousands of shells at
the boche we worked and brought
them more, and at dawn when our
infantry went over, we went right
along behind them. No one felt
tired, but were on their toes at all
times rearing tosgo. | saw one
Young Mems Christian associate n
man and one Knights of Columb bus
man ahead of the third wave at a
little village handing out cigarets
to the doughboys as they went
through the place. How they got
ahead of the wave l don't know, but
they were there no matter how they
got theresa you can see that going
over the top doesn't stop the Yanks,
and it doesn't matter what branch OF
the service they are in.
Proud To Be Yank.
1--WE lose some men, but that is to
be expected, and when l see some of
some of those big, fine, healthy,
happy-go-lucky Yanks go "west"
with a great big good-natured smile
on their faces, governor, / am sure
mighty proud that l am Yank.
hove not lost any men as yet, al
though I have had few wounded
so here's hoping the good luck
keeps up so that l can take back
home with me that fine bunch of
fighters your great state of Nebraska

REPORT OF LIVE
STOCK SANITARY
BOARD IS MADE
Calls Attention to Men Who
Deal in TuberCuIar Cat
tie; Says They Have
Made Money.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 26-(Special.)
The Nebraska Live Stock Sanitary
board, consisting of ]. H. Bulla Of
Omaha, L. E. Leonard of Pawnee
City, John Dalton of Lincoln, Rob-
ert Graham of Alliance and DR.. W.
H. Tuck of Weeping Water, ap-
pointed by the governor, has made
its annual report to the governor
through the secretary of the board
DR.. J. H. Anderson, state veterina-
rian.
The report goes quite fully into
the history of the foot-and-mouth
disease of 1915, which prevailed to
an alarming extent in other states,
but which, by vigilent efforts, was
kept out of Nebraska. Governor
Morehead during his administration
recommended that the legislature
appropriate $4,000 for indemnity for
the loss of stock through the dis
ease, but not a dollar was ever
called for.
Nebraska Cattle Not Guaranteed.
The report calls attention to the
spread of what it calls "vesicular
stomatitis" which caused some
states to arrange for prohibiting
Nebraska cattle from being shipped
into those states, but through the
heroic efforts of State Veterinarian
Anderson, who early began a sys-
tematic fight against it, the disease
was stopped and no quarantine
against Nebraska was made.
The report calls attention to a
sum set apart by the national gov
eminent to indemnify owners losing
cattle by tubercular disease. In Or
der to have access to this sum the
state must set aside similar sum,
and it will be up to the coming legis-
lature to appropriate sum stuff
cient to meet the national appro-
priation.
The report also calls attention to
the fact that several professional
cattle dealers deal in tubercular
cattle.
These men,. says the report,
"are the enemies of the Live Stock
Sanitary board, of everybody who is
interested in improved husbandry
and of every veterinarian, regardless
of his standing. Mostsof them have
made considerable money in the
buying and selling of diseased cattle,
and a few are interested in politics. !"
Attitude Will Be Watched.
The board closes by saying:
"The attitude of the new admins
tration toward the Live Stock SAM
tary board and the welfare of stock
raisers will be carefully watched, not
only by breeders in Nebraska, but
also of other states. The appoint
ment of a state veterinarian who
might be a politician but who lacks
scientific knowledge and fighting
qualities will Immediately be taken
advantage of by INSCRIPTIONS cattle
traders, and will result in Nebraska
being dumping ground for tuber-
cular cattle from all parts of the
country. Similarly the live stock
sanitary boards of all states. which
buy breeding stock in Nebraska, will
have no confidence in the health GER
tifcates and test charts approved by
a man of this type, which will result
in breeding-animals originating in
Nebraska being Disseminated
against and held for retests at their
destination with consequent embar-
assment and loss to Nebraska breed
ers"
