$4,000 Students Attend.
Omaha now has over 200 Sunday
schools with an estimated enroll
ment of $4,000 students. The classes
have an average attendance of IS
and are taught by well-trained
young women and men. In many of
the Sunday schools the boys have
formed Boy Scout troops. The
schools are members of the Doug
las County Sunday School associa-
ton, branch of the state organiza-
ton.
The Kountze Memorial Lutheran
school is the largest in the city with
an enrolment of $50 and an average
attendance of 6S0 Its large enroll
ment is due largely to its ability to
hold the students at the time other
schools are losing theirs. This
period is when the child is between
the ages OF Is and IS years.
Separate Classes.
This school is divided into the
primary, intermediate and senior de-
partments. The primary depart
ment, which includes children be-
tween the ages of and 7 years, is
said to be the best in Omaha. The
work of the teacher consists in tell
ing Bible stories to the children.
After reaching the age of 7 the child
is placed in the sand table class.

REORGANIZATION AIRCRAFT WORK
 IS DETERMINED
Associated PrrSsl


 WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 22.- It was officially announced here this afternoon that President Wilson has decided to readjust the American aircraft program, naming Secretary Baker to carry out the new plans. The plans which have heretofore been decided upon will not be dis carded entirely. but will be com pletely readjust and revised to meet current situations.
 It was indicated that the produc- tion board which has heretofore had charge of the aerial program will be superseded, and man whose name has not heretofore been men, toned will be given full charge of the work. No intimation was given regarding the identity of the man.
 The government has been investi- gating the airplane industry for sev- eral weeks and is convinced that the board looking after this work has not made the progress which it should have. While the program is not a failure, it is far behind its schedule, and heroic efforts are nee essary in order to catch up with the rest of the governments war prepa- rations.

REPORTS
 SAY AMERICANS
 ARE MISTREATED
(AssOciated press,


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.- The American state department to- day began an investigation of per sistent press reports that American prisoners of war now held in Ger many are being subjected to all kinds of indignities and ill-treatment. Press dispatches received from vari- ous sources have contained state ments to this effect and have arous- ed the state department to action.
 It is stated that if the reports are found to be based upon actual facts the American government may con sider measures of retaliation. This, however, will only come after pro- tests to the German government have proven unavailing. There are more German prisoners of war held in American camps than there are Americans held by Germany, and the United States is in position to force the proper treatment of Am ericans in German prison camps.

PRESIDENT NOW
 OPPOSE CHANGE
 SEDITI0N LAWS
Associated Pressi

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.- President Wilson today announced his opposition to the Chamberlain bill which would give military courts, or court martials, authority to try all cases involving violations of se- dition laws. The President asserted that this step was not in keeping with American convention and if en- acted would place America on the level of the German government. He also declared that the measure is opposed to the spirit and purpose of the espionage laws.
 The Chamberlain bill was drawn up at the request of the army in- telligence service and upon the rec ommendation of many prominent peo-' pie from all over the country. The intelligence officers were strong in their recommendations, asserting that the nation is being undermined by German propagandists and tools of Germany whom it is impossible to punish properly in civil courts.
 Others supporting the measure are of the opinion that it is necessary in order to prevent people from talk ing the punishment of disloyal ele- ments into their own hands. It is believed that spirited fight will de velop over the measure, but its pas sage is hardly expected in the light of the stand of the President.

the Norwegian government by which the board charters 100000 tons of Norwegian sailing ships. These ves- sels will be put into the non-hazard- ous South American trade and ships thus released will be placed at once in the transatlantic shipping.
 The negotiations thus successfully concluded were begun several weeks ago by the war trade board, and there was no difficulty in reaching an agreement. In return for these vessels. America will supply Nor way with certain food supplies and materials which are badly needed.
 The transferred shipping will be made over at once. It will be ope- rated by the shipping board under the American Flag and be provided with American officers and crews. The acquisition of this shipping makes approximately 1,500,OO0 tons of shipping which has been added to the fleets of America and Great Britain during the past ten days through negotiations. It is expected that additions will be made to this amount within a short time, as ne- gotiations are still in progress with Japan to take over considerable amount of tonnage in return for raw materials upon basis similar to that upon which 100000 tons of Japanese shipping was secured re. gently.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.- Following an announcement made in the senate by Senator Poindexter. of Washington, today that the labor leaders of Seattle are melting gen. eral strike as a protest against the alleged persecution of Thos. Mooney. President Gompers, of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, issued a strong statement condemning the scheme and declaring that organized labor will not countenance any such action at this time.
 Mr.. Gompers declared that "any attempt to incite such strike will be violation of union laws and re- pugnant to the rights and interests of the workers themselves. Such strike would only react against Mooney"
 The Seattle leaders say that their actions have been taken in response to the sentiment of the rank and file of union men on the Pacific coast. They declare that such strike would be so serious that it would only last a day and achieve its object. the freeing of Mooney. in twenty-four hours.
 The national war labor board, re- gently organized, is looking into the matter and will probably be able to prev vent the strike from materializ- ing, as it has the support of all or ganized labor and its action will be final.
