PATRIOTISM
CHALLENGES

The report of what women all over
the United States did for the Third
Liberty Loan is an inspiring page in
the history of united war effort. From
east to west, from Canada to the Gulf
of Mexico the story is the same. Ev-
erywhere the women came forward,
bringing their dollars for the Loan.
What they will do in this Fourth
Liberty Loan will be no less credit
able. The time for questioning is
past. The day of speculation is gone.
Here and now, with one aim and one
purpose, you women of the West in line
with your sisters from all over the
land, will march in the army behind
the khaki-clad boys over yonder, fur
nishing the funds not alone for the
successful carrying on of the war
that we are pledged to debut for
the speedy complete defeat of the
enemy
Money means power in this struggle
between the right and wrong. Dollars
spell success in the conflict for right
eousness. Yours is vital part in the
struggle, women of the sWest,-the
thing worth while" is yours to do
NOW.

You are the instruments chosen for
great work, and the time for service
Is here.
The Government is asking you once
more to bring out your hidden treas
ure-the dollars you have been care
fully putting away for some special
need. The call for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan has been sounded. Our
countrys challenge to our patriotism
has been voiced once more.
Western women have a record for
loyal response to all of the previous
Loans. Theirs has been a generous
reply to the country's war need.
The daily lists of names of Amer
lean boys who have given their all for
their country have found the Vests
sons among the number. It is for
such as those, and for the things for
which they fought and fell, that the
aid of the folks at home is sought

You can do something immensely

Perhaps the greatest strategist in
baseball is Byron Bancroft Johnson,
president of the American league.
Not a. baseball strategist. perhaps but
a financial strategist who brings the
crowds to the gates of his parks.
Johnson so takes care IF his ball
clubs that every year six or seven
the select circle and there is scarcely
more than one or two outclassed clubs
in the entire league. ;.,--p.
Nineteen-eighteen will be no excep-
ton in this respect. The American
lea que this year presents six ball
clubs of wonderful strength and bal
ance; any one of which would climb
into the first division at the least sign
of weakness on the part of any of. the
others.
From the standpoint Of preseason
form and probabilities of warm
weather deve!opmentS1. have arranged
the clubs in the order given above.
There is little chance of any club
winning from the White Sox. Row

of these clubs out OF the running.

Will H. Lansing, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Lansing, 3l4 South Twen-
ty-seventh street, naval officer, who
has seen FIVE years Of service, and was
twice on boats hit by Germans, is in
Omaha for a short visit with his par
ents.
Lansing is gunner and petty officer
on the armenia" German ship
which was interned in an American
port when the European war broke
out and which later was seized for
service by the United States govern
ment.
The young sailor tells of three
submarine attacks made upon his ship,
two of which were serious and re-
suited in damage to the ship. Lansing
has never seen a submarine and says
that two of the attacks came without
the slightest warning. The ship is
now in an eastern Atlantic port await
ing repairs.
Lansing was in South Hampton,
England, when the American boys, the
survivors of the Tuscania arrived, and
he says that it was wonderful sight
to see the men marching down the
streets while the English welcomed
them with cheers.
The sailor will return to service
overseas in 10 days.

The Comrade Club, sponsored by

the Kahki Club Saturday evening.
The club which is composed of busi-
ness and society girls will give one
OF these dances each week, next Sat-
urday night being Fort Crook night.
Mrs. William Archibald Smith, had
charge Of the arrangements. and was
assisted by members of the league
and also the committee, who work
at the canteen at Fort Omaha under
Mrs. J. +. Stewart .2d's leadership.
Some of the hostesses included Mrs.
Tom Travis, Mrs. L. ]. Healy, Mrs.
Ed. P. Boyer, Mrs. Will Wood, Miss

a soldier to escorc her home, loses
her membership in the club. Mem
bership cards are given to each girl
which not only admit her to the. club
but also makes her member OF the

The Germans had taken advantage
of the respite to relieve exhausted
divisions and bring up strong REIN
forcements, with which they made ..
further effort today to reach Amiens.
In the late hours of the night the
German artillery became much more
active. Just as the enemy was about
to launch fresh infantry assault with
new divisions shortly. after dawn the
French made a sudden attack, fore
stalling them. The attack swept along
the line extending from southwark Of
Villers-Bretonneux to Hangard.
TERRIFIC BARRAGE.
In the densest mist, the French
units engaged made their wey
through terrific barrage which re-
lentlessly battered roads, pathways,
woods and fields. Notwithstanding
the most determined resistance by
the large forces Of German troops
which had been gathered for the at
tack, the French, within two hours,
established themselves on a great

WILSON'S BACKERS
WIN SENATE FIGHT
Passage Of Bill Vesting Presi-
dent With Blanket Authority
Foreshadowed by Defeat
Of Amendments.

Washington, April 27.-Victory for
the administration in the long senate
fight over the bill to confer blanket
authority on the president to re-
organize government departments
and war agencies was forecast today
in the defeat, by narrow margins, of
amendments exempting the Federal
Reserve board and the Interstate
Commerce commission from the
operation of the law.
Both amendments were offered by
Senator Smith OF Georgia, and op-
ponents OF the bill concentrated their
strength on them. The first to ex-
empt the Federal Reserve board was
rejected, Al to 81, and the second, re-
lating to the Interstate Commerce
commission. was voted down, AZ to IS.
To Come Up Monday.
With these tests OF strength, which
administration leaders said and
senators among the opposition adj
mitted, presaged passage Of the bill
without limitations on the blanket
authority insisted upon by President
Wilson, the senate adjourned until
Monday, when it was expected the
bill would be passed without i'm
portant changes.
In the votes on the amendments to-
day, ten democratic senators voted
to limit the presidents authority.
Seven republicans, however, voted
with the democratic majority against
exempting the Federal Reserve board.
Another republican, Senator Borah
Of Idaho, joined them in voting down
the amendment affecting the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
Senators Hitchcock and Norris of
Nebraska and Cummins and Kenyon
of Iowa voted for the amendment to
except the Fedral Reserve board.
