WINS IN
STRAIGHT FALLS
AT AUDITORIUM
Again Pins Shoulders of Heavy
Pap,|Iion Carpenter to the
Mat and Becomes the
Champ Contender.

John Pesek, the Shelton, Neb.,
thunderbolt, proved to a fair-sized
audience that his victory over, Char
lie Peters, the Papillion carpenter,
last July, was not huke. He easily
defeated his heavier opponent at the
auditorium Friday night.
The first fall was secured with
head scissors and wrist lock in d,
minutes and 40 seconds. The sec
ond fall came in six minutes and 81
seconds with a toe hold,
Pesek apparently toyed with
Peters during the earlier part of the
match and smilingly nodded en-
enlargement to his friends about
the ring. The head scissors, with
which he won the first fall, was Sc
cured by him twice before, but was
broken by Peters.
Pesek Rushes Game.
Both men at times were in dan
gerous positions but managed to
wiggle to safety. Action was rapid
from the tap of the gong and the
fans saw as interesting a bout as
has been witnessed in Omaha in
several moons.
Pesek continued his tactics of
rushing his opponent to the ropes
and forcing him out of the ring that
lost him many followers in the July
tangle. Peters mode exactly the
opposite and he received more
cheers than the winner at the con-
clusion of the bout.
The card arranged by Promoter
Jack Lewis kept the fans in high
spirits. Every event was interesting.
Bird" White and his wrestling
bear was one of the most interesting
bouts staged. The management
stated before the bout that, Some
time the bear wrestle the man,
sometime the man wrestle the bear"
But last night the bear had the best
of the argument, winning falls from
two men.
Frome Unable to Appear.
Mike Frome, the Harlan, Ia, light,
heavyweight, was unable to stage
his match with Charlie Pesek,
brother of the mighty John, and for
feited his guarantee. He injured his
neck in training with his brother and
was unable to wrestle. He appeared
in the ring with his manager Jack
Tolliver and challenged anyone of
his weight to a finish match for a
$500 side bet as soon as he RECEIVERS.
Bob Burnley was obtained to sub
stitute for the Iowa wrestler for
l0-minute exhibition, but his rib was
cracked before the time limit and
he was forced to retire. 1t was
big night for the Pesek brothers and
their Shelton admirers.
In the first preliminary Tom Ray
of Omaha won a handicap Commute
bout from Kid Herman of Seattle.
claimant of the coast title. He agreed
to throw Ray in less than 20 min
utes. Herman commenced early in
the bout to rough it, but the Omaha
lad met his every advance and gave
game exhibition.
c. f. Seeley of Omaha referred

Nevada County Reaches Quota
ENEMY DRAWS ON
 FRESH RESERVES
Violent TeutOn Assaults Every where Repulsed by Allies British Block Teuton Efforts to Cross LaBaSSee Canal.

New York, April Reinforced by French troops, the allied line is holding hard against attacks by the Germans from the region of LaBas- see to the north of Ypres.
 Everywhere the Germans have at tackled they have been repulsed with heavy losses. Attacks of an extraor- dinarily violent nature are being made by the Germans on the 10-mile front between Givenchy and Robecq, where an endeavor is being made to cross the LaBassee canal and bend southward the salient which now out Hanks the important railroad town of Bethune. A division of troops to each mile is being used by the Germans in this sector, but the British at last accounts were holding we'll and in- flicting heavy losses on the enemy.
 If successful, the new attack of the Germans would jeopardise the entire Arras sector, which includes the fam ous French coaling region about Lens and the equally famous Vimy ridge, held by the Canadians. It seems evi- dent that it is part of the strategy of the German high command to wipe out the salient by an enveloping movement, rather than again to give battle to the British about Lens and Vimy, two regions that already have been slaughter houses for their men. Following the usual custom before the launching of an attack, the Ger mans all last night rained shells of all caliber between Givenchy and Ro- becq. The firing by daybreak had reached the intensity ofdr umfre Large quantities of gas shells were in- termingled with the high-powered missiles.
 Midway between Bailleul and Ypres the Germans today vigorously attack ed the British positions south of Kem- mel, which the British had recaptur- ed from them Wednesday, but were unable to gain any advantage in the face of the. strong defense.

GERMAN DRIVE
 CHECKED WITH
 AID 0F FRENCH
German Leaders Show Absolute Disregard For the Lives of Men - TeutOps Apparently Were Deceived.

Ottawa, April 18.-"The enemy ap- parently is drawing on fresh re- serves," says dispatch received here tonight from Reuters correspondent at British headquarters in France.
 Tn the course of the great bat tie, more than 30 enemy divisions have so far appeared and it is cer- tain the German command is exploit ing every success by the most prodi- gal expenditure of man power and not counting the cost.
 ''In the great German attack yes- terday our troops fought with Ho- merle valor against great numerical odds. They are fighting in the same irresistible manner in the battle be- tween Givenchy forest and Nieppe now progressing.
 For nearly week the Germans in the battle of Flanders have been limited to the smallest extent. It has been terribly costly advance at certain points. If he measures the extent of his gains by the price paid, he certainly must be looking gloomily at the bold contours from Cassels to Messines, which he is prac- tically bound to attempt to take.
 "The attempt to break through the Belgian front south of the Hout- hoist forest probably was inspired by the discovery of our withdrawal from the Passchendaele region and con- sequent assumption that there must be some disorganizati0n at this part of the line.
 "The attack has been repeated to- day, the enemy doubtless being mor- tified at being defeated by about half his own number.
 Apparently the tainks, armored cars and cavalry have not been in ac- tion on either side. We now are down to a sheer contest for man pow CT, swaying, ceaseless attack and re- pulse the vital issue carried in the anxious problem of whether our pow CTS of endurance can wear down the repeated bull-rushes of vastly super for numbers before decision is reached.
 At the moment the prospect as- suredly justified confidence in this re- , spect. The appearance of French battalions of 75's in the ranks of the army, which the Germans are count ing on cutting off from the allies, cannot be pleasing to the enemy. The Germans seem to be still finding diff ficulty in getting forward their bat teries and maintaining ammunition supplies to all parts of the advance, although they have heavy concentra- tions in other parts"

VENEZUELA STILL
 HAS ITS SAVAGES AS IN OLDEN DAYS
Tribes Have Persistently Refused to Make Friends With the White
 Man

Caracas, Venezuela August 3f-fn
 Venezuela today as in both the Ameri--
 cas, there are thousands of Indians who are the fear of other men and who con
 stantly refuse to make friends with any
 other people. In the land bordering on
 the upper Orinoco river live many of
 these tribes. the fearless foe of all
 strangers and the most dangerous sav-
 ages in all South America They re-
 sist with their lives all attempts of the
 Venezuelaus to take the lands that haze
 been the home of the Indian for cen
 turies So far they have been success
 ful in their defense and are in nearly as
 full possession of the lands today as
 they were before any efforts were made
 to dislodge or conquer them.
 Venezuelan and foreign companies that
 have valuable oil interests in this section
 of the Orinoco have not been successful
 even in their attempts to treat with these
 tribes The Indians, seeing the approach
 ing strangers, flee to the thick woods, whence they sally forth to make war
 with their bow and arrow. They are ex- pert marksmen and have taken consid-
 erable toll of life from the various ex- petitions that have been sent into their country. oil companies are compelled to protect their drillers and other workmen in this Indian section with armed guards. Many expeditions carry from 30 to 100 men armed with rifles to protect the companies and their employees from att tacks of these savages.
 In Northern Venezuela there are thou- sands of Indians whose ancestors also were in South America when it was discovered. but who long since have been won to the ways of civilized man, It is estimated that there are now more than 300,000 full-blooded Indians in this tcountry There also are thousands of mixed blood Indians. Many of these are v. T. .,l.r tf, h trt af Venezuela the forefathers of these pres ent Indians adapted themselves to cus- toms and manners of other people-those who had taken their lands. So today, these tribes are an important part of' Venezuela life.

drive with such zeal and enthusIasm
 The fact that their own flesh and blood are now on the bloodiest battlefield of history has caused the women of the nation to eagerly grasp this wonderful chance to show by every act and effort Itheir unqualified loyalty and patriotism
 There is inspiration to the soldiers on the firing line in the knowledge that the soul of American womanhood is enlisted iii service for them. that they are giy- ing their energy, time and money, work ing with consecrated devotion and un- failing heroism for every means by which the army holding the part at home can aid in the mighty struggle for lip- erty. The men over there are giving what money cannot buy. Now they need what money can bring. Surely, surely, no patriotic woman will refuse to do anything for this coming campaign or such vast importance. In fact, we should be grateful for this fine opportunity to give and to serve, and throw our whole hearts into bringing success for the fourth drive. one of the most vital issues to come to liberty loving people.
 As the casualty lists grow larger with names ct Alabamians occurring so fre' quentiy, the people of Alabama are show ing mora and more loyalty to the Red Cross, the only agency for the alievia- .tiOn of suffering, and comfort 10 thc dying.
