 OF DEFENSE EXTREMELY BUSY IN NEBRASKA

he has accumulated since coming to
 Lisco, with the exception of about twelve hundred dollars. He denied tearing the flags off his automobile, but said they came off in some manner unknown to him. He was inclined to be little supercilious at the beginning but altered his demeanor considerably
 before the end. After the testimony had been concluded, Chairman Hunt and Dr. c. Palmer gave MT. Dudden strong lectures on the duties of Amer ican citizenship, and said some very plain things to him. It is unnecessary to relate what was said and done, but it Is sufficient to say that before the proceedings came to an end MT. Dud- den made and signed the statement William Mechler was the next per son to be brought before the board. William is small in stature, but full of words. He denied all charges made against him, and offered to whip the man who said he was not loyal. His physical condition seemed to be against such strenuous endeavor, how ever. as he appeared hardly able to walk around. After much talk he was told to go and avoid further appear ance of evil, and he took his loquacious way into the outer air.
 Herman A. Glau, of Angoria, then appeared before the board to answer the complaint of a number of people of Angora as to his lack of loyalty. The witnesses were not present who claimed to have heard Mir. Glau make disloyal statements, so his hearing was confined largely to Mir. Claus testi- mony. He stated that he was thoro ly loyal and was willing to fight for the United States at any time. He has four sons, and he has written letter to the President of the United States asking that two of his sons, who are farmers, be allowed to remain on the farms, and offering the services of his two other sons to the Government in this war He said he had displayed the American flag on his automobile and at his residence freely at all times since the war, and expressed his will lingness to shoot the kaiser on sight He is member of the Red Red Cross
 and has donated $25 thereto, besides donating to the Y. M. c. A. and buying Thrift Stamps. He asserted his will lingness to buy Liberty Bonds later.

CONTROL OF MEAT
BY GOVERNMENT
seen IN CHARGES
Trade Boards Report Expected to
Force Action BY u. S. Government.

Washington, December 3-Congres-
sional action to control the meat pack
ers promised today to result from the
Federal Commissions charges of lille
gal combination and price regulation
in the trade.
A conference of senators, including
Kenyon of Iowa and Borah of Idaho,
will be held soon to outline some
course of action to correct evils the
Trade Commissions two reports de-
clare exist
The problem facing those who want
action is how to retain the undoubted
utility of the meat industry machin-
cry without giving the firms mention
ed by the Trade Commission power alb
solutely to control meat, supplies and
processes.
The fiat charge that the packers
Armour, Swift, Morris, Cudahy and
Wilson-now exercise this power thru
a gigantic and close combination, is
made by the commission in a report
submitted to Congress yesterday.
The Trade Commissions conclu-
sions, as drawn from several hun
dred pages of evidence, are in the
main:
THAT the five companies have di-
vided up the country for their oper-
atoms in such way as to allow them
to absolutely control both buying and
selling prices.
THAT the companies exchange con-
fidential information.
THAT the companies act collusively
in buying live stock and selling fresh
meats.
THAT Swift, Armour, Wilson and
Norris have combined to control the
South American cattle Market.
THAT all contribute to joint fund
to swing public opinion.
Same old threadbare charges" said
]. Ogden Armour, according TO des-
patch today from Chicago.
81 can only repeat that the charges
are baseless. What say can be dem
onstrated readily by any unbiased AID

.MAYSVILLE SOLDIER
IN REGIMENT Which
IS COMMENDED
Private II, L. Young, Member Of 1O6th
Infantry Which Is Highly Com
mended For Part Taken In
Capture Of Hinden-
burg Line De-
lenses.

Another Maysville man in France
has given a good account of himself
there. This time 1t is Private H.
L. Young who was member of the
famous 106th U. s. Infantry which
won so much praise through the press
some time ago for their great heroism
displayed in the capture of the de-
lenses of the Hindenburg line.
Mrs. w. L. Lyons, of the West End
is just in receipt of a letter from Pri-
vate Young, who is her brother, in
which he encloses the official COM
mendation of Major General John F.
Organ, commanding general of the
attack which is addressed to the com
handing officer of the 106th Infantry.
The commentator reads as fol-
lows:
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1918-12-03

October 22nd, 1918.
From Commanding General.
To Commanding officer, 106th U. S.
Infantry.
Subject: Commentator.
1. Now that we have inspected the
captured defenses of the Hindenburg
Line, the magnitude of the task as
signed to the 106th Infantry in the at
tack of September 9th becomes even
more apparent than it then appeared
On that occasion the 106th Ianfantry
on a front of 1000 yards attacked the
outer defense system composed of
highly organized trenches with maze
of wire protection, based the three
strong points of Quemenont Farm,
Guillemont Farm and the Knoll, the
whole defended by a vast number of
machine guns and trench mortars,
supported by artillery.
2. Any impression made by attack
upon these defenses would have been
worthy of remark. That the 1O6th In
fantry, after most of the tanks had
been put out of action, broke through
them and secured footings in the three
strong points, thus disorganizing the
enemy's defense, now seems an eX-
traordinary feat. The valor of the Of
ficers and men of the regiment is well
indicated by the location of the bodies
of their gallant comrades who fell in
the battle and by the large number of
enemy dead about them.
3. 1t was undoubtedlyth the fierce at
tack of the 1O6th Infantry which shook
the enemy's morale and made possible
the subsequent attack of the remain
der of the Division.

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS IN
KENTUCKY IS ALARMING
Agent Of Eastern Normal School Here
To Secure Cooperation of School
People In Interesting Youth
In Profession.

Prof. l. H. Boothe of Richmond, KY,
representing the Eastern Kentucky
State Normal School was in our midst
today. His mission is to secure the
cooperation of all school people and
all other parties interested in Educa-
ton to check the tendency toward the
alarming and increasingly critical sit
uation of shortage of teachers. There
are hundreds of children in Kentucky
who shall suffer this year for lack of
instruction. Unless something is done
the future presents even a darker pic
ture.
Prof T. ]. Coates, President of the
school, has evolved plan which
seems feasible, practicable and based
upon reason and common sense. 1t is
this: He says to the County and City
Superintendent, You know how
many new teachers you need annually
Next year you will perhaps need more
than heretofore. Now, you can not ex-
pect to get flour from a mill unless
you first send the grain, neither can
you expect to receive teachers from a
Teachers Training School until you
have first sent a sufficient amount of
proper material to the same. There
fore, send us the material and we shall
send you back the teachers. You are
the guardian of children in your coun-
ty and city. Therefore the RESPONSE
bility is on you. What are you going
to do about it? We believe that you
will measure up to the imperative de-
mands of the hour"
This seems to be reasonable and the
people of Kentucky will wait patiently
to see large results.

eminent has missed somebody. Some
body is fattening off the war, and q
comparison Of bills and schedules
comparison Of bills and schedule Of
prices will show that it is not the re-
taller The retailers would prefer to
sell at lower prices, but they cannot

earners Of every class receive virtu-
ally the same as they received a year
ago, yet they pay nearly twice as
much for shoes and a great deal more
for what they eat. Somebody is us
ing the war as an opportunity for
fattening purses and robbing people.
And the government will not have
discharged its duty to the people I'M
