MAGNEY ADVISES
y BOARD TO IGNORE
SMITHS REQUEST
County Attorney Holds it is
Not His Duty to Test Law
Designed to Protect
Taxpayers.

That Bob" Smiths request to the
county board to investigate the
legality of the law to stop~fee grab
bing, enacted by the 1917 session, will
be ignored, is the statement OF Coun-
ty Attorney Magney,
"If the board takes my advice, II
will make no effort to challenge
whether that law was properly passed
The law is there, and, until it i.
proven otherwise, | assume that i,
is legal in every way. 1t is not my
duty to test out the law, which is
designed to protect the tax payers and
is favorable to the county. Let Mr.
Smith do that if he wants to. | will
so advise the county board
As it stands, the law compels Smith
to account for naturalization fees re.
ceived since July q, 1917. He should
have reported and paid in fees Janu.
ary |, bue he has ignored and dehed
the law instead. Auditor, Barnett ,is
preparing statement of the amount
due the county from Smith under the
law. A recent ruling of the supreme
court on the old law which the new
law changes gave him between $4,000
and $4,000 in fees, which he had beer
holding out.
Only Smith Knows.
Only Smith knows how much has
been taken in since that time, but il
is said to be large sum, as there has
been great. rush for naturalization
following the declaration of war, and
subsequent action against aliens. .
When the present amepdment came
up for hearing, Smith went to Lincoln
and worked tooth and nail" for a
provision that it would not apply dur.
ing his term of Office. He now as,
serts that the law requiring him to re.
port these fees was not legally passed
and has asked the county board to
order the county attorney to test its
legality for him.

Young Mems Christian association
work has been in progress at more
than 100 ccnters in Russia. The eff
fort was undertaken at the request Of
the Russian government and made
such an impression that through the
various changes the association has
continued its work almost without in
terruption.
The work. ranged from huts in the
front line to building work in Petro-
grad, Moscow, other important Rus
sian centers and at the great concen-
tration camps. The association work
did SO much to uphold the morale Of
the Russian troops and to emphasize
the fact that America, a sister repub-
lie, is in the war, that the Germans
started the bitterest kind of oropa-
ganda against it.

SOLDIER TO Vote,
IS DECISION OF
SUPREME COURT
Opinion, Written by Chief Jus"
tice Morrissey, Finds Distinc-
tion Exists Between Reg
uIar and National Army.

Lincoln, March 16---(Special lin
the, opinion of Chief A. M. Morrissey
Of the state supreme court, who wrote
the opinion, holding the soldier may
vote, congress recognized a dividing
line between the permanent military
establishment of the army known as
the regular army" and all other
branches of the military service.
The opinion affirmed by the entire
count, holds that man entering the
service in the existing emergency"
retains his rights as a voter.
Case from Douglas.
The case came from Douglas county
over an application Of James J..
Simon, soldier at Fort Crook, who
appealed from ruling of Election
Commissioner Harley G.. Monehead
that he was in the regular service
and therefore had no right to
register.
The Douglas county district court
held against the election commissioner
and the case was taken to the ST.
preme court and advanced to an early
hearing.
Probable Call March 26.
The calling of special session of
the legislature has been delayed pend
ing action of the court on the case
in order that legislation might be
enacted giving Nebraska men in the
service chance to vote, and now
that the court has held that they
have not lost their rights, the ses-
sion can go ahead and enact a alw
covering the emergency.
1t had been hoped by Governor
Neville that the opinion would come
down IN time to call the extra ses-
sion for Tuesday, March 19. but now
it is probable that the cali will be
made for March 26.
lhe supreme court holds that "The
regular army is the permanent mill
tary establishment which is main
tanned both in pace and war, accord
ing to law.
Not in Regular Army.
IAN elector of this state who en-
ters the military service of the United
States to serve during the existing
emergency, under the provisions Of
the act Of congress of May l8, 1917,
is not in the regular army, as that
term is employed in Section 3, Article
VIII OF the Constitution, and may ex-
ercise the election franchise at such
places and under such conditions as
may be provided by law.
The legislature has the right to
enact such legislation as will enable
electors of their state to exercise the
election franchise, Notwithstanding
they have entered the military or ma
val service of the United States, under
the provisions of the act of May 1S,
1917, to serve during the existing
emergency"

STAFF OFFICERS
TO Be CHANGED
IN line OF DUTY
Ultimate Purpose to Have on
Duty in Washington Gather.
ina Trained in Latest War
Elements.
tBy Associated Press.)

Washington, March l6.-Msjor
/. General March. chief of staff, an
nounced today that a plan had been
approved whereby staff officers on
duty with American expeditionary
forces will be Systematically ex-
changed for those on duty in WASH
ingtof,, the ultimate purpose. being to
have on duty here general staff COM
posed entirely of officers who have
been through training in the latest
elements of warfare.
It is intended to have General Per-
shing return to this country in de-
tachments of 80 the officers who, in
his opinion, have assirnilated the de-
tails of modern warfare from the ac-
tual association with front line opera
tions on the American sectors.
Oldest Men First.
The first increment will be from
the officers who have been longest i'll
France. These will be replaced by an
equal number of officers trained here
in general staff work as it applies to
the War department and an inter
change of information would be estab-
lished between the department and
the fighting forces which officials be-
lieve will be productive to smooth
administration and competent staff
work on both sides of the water. 1t
also will produce degree of co-ordi-
nation for both ends of the 5000 miles
of transport lines than could not be
achieved under any other plan.
Presumably, qualified officers of
General Pershing's staff who have
been wounded or otherwise incapaci-
tated for active duty at the front will
be assigned wherever possible to duty
in Washington during the period of
eecuperation, their services and eX-
perience thereby being of continuous
value to the government.
Incapacitated Officers Home.
In this connection it was learned
that in accord with the practice found
desirable in Europe, incapacitated line
officers will be gradually placed in
charge of all training units. replace
ment divisions and other military
agencies in the United States which
require he supervision of trained mil
itary men. That process already has
begun with the assignment of a num-
Der of major generals physically unfit
for service in France to divisions
training in this country.
Secretary Baker already has an
hounced that a similarly policy of al
ways having direct information from
France would be followed in the
makeup of the new war council, COM
posed of a group OF senior officers of
the War department. y

Ing on the question Of prosecutions for
failure to comply with the foreign

the purpose Of the proclamation Ia to
educate and lefed the people to use only
the English language rather than to
prosecute them for failing to do so.
Prosecution Il not the thing we are
aiming at or hooking for" declares the
governor. 1--WE must built public SEN
timent The whole aim and object of
the proclamation il to reduce to a
minimum the use Of foreign languages
and the following are some Of the
reasons:
First. because It very largely re-
duces the opportunity OF the enemy 10

"second, it is carrier for us to detect
propaganda in the English than in a
foreign language.
Third to promote peace and har-

Fourth, to Americanize more rapid

past.
Fifth, so that self constituted com
mittees in thu, communities will not
take the matter into their own hands
but refer these differences to those in
authority such as the county attorney
and sheriff"
