Arrest at the instance of an army

committed bigamy in order to secure

pire," notes the Omaha Bee Young

the one purpose being to secure money
from the government. The game Is
not new one, nor does it exhibit
much modification in its details. 1t is
reported from some Of the Southern
army camps that as many as three
and four soldiers have been welded
to the same woman. The young men
who are away from home for the first
time, wearing their country's uniform,
should be warned that marriage Is not
merely an enlistment for the war, and
therefore to be approached very serl-
ously. Romance is part of soldiers
life, but 1t may have consequences
that will embarrass him In after
years. The vampire" is one of his
chiefest dangers, and one against

PERSHING KNOWS RED MEN
Noted General Has Had Much Expert
ence with Indians, and They Would
Receive Welcome.

"If contingent of American Indi-
ans is sent to France to fight for
Uncle Sam against the central powers
they will find a warm welcome from
General Pershing," Col. J. A. George
Of South Dakota remarked recently,
according to the Washington Post.
General Pershing has been friend Of
the Indians for many years. He COM
manded company of Sioux Indian
scouts in the Sioux war of 1S90-1891,
and has lived among the red men for
good many years.
II happened to be at the Pine Ridge
Indian reservation in South Dakota
during the winter Of 1S90-1S91, when
Pershing was a second lieutenant. He
participated in the battle of Wounded
Knee and remained on the reservation
for months after the surrender of the
Indians, commanding the company of
Sioux scouts.
"In the summer of 1891 Pershing
received promotion 10 first lieutenant,
while he was at the head of the Sioux
scouts. His brother, who was with
him then, kid boy, afterward be-
came an officer, but retired a few
years later because of Ill health,
while Black Jack went on to great
things.
"of course, it would be silly for me
to say that Pershing is a first-class
officer, for his present position as
head of the American forces In
France proves that, but l may say
that as far back as 1890 Pershing
showed that he was destined to be-
come one of the great figures in the
military history of this country"

The young man strolled into Sixth

nothing conspicuous about his manner
or appearance, but when the bus boy
came along and the young man asked
for, received, and drank four glasses
OF water In rapid succession, persons
near by stared at him out Of the
whites of their eyes, so to speak.
Presently the waiter returned with
IA huge steak and about six types Of
vegetables. The young man asked for
two glasses of water and proceeded
to eat slowly. The water was brought
and drunk, and the young man care
fully devoured the vast supply of food
before him. Then he ordered chicken,
with potatoes au gratin, and two
glasses of water.
Just when the now thoroughly inter-
ested observers Of this strange repast
were on the verge of irritation from
curiosity another young man strolled
In and sat down dlsconsolately across

CATTLE
WANT MORE RANGE

Reports come from California to
the effect that there are 500 head of
cattle at Fresno and so more in
Santa Barbara county looking for
good grazing lands in northern Cali
fornia, according to a message re-
ceived by H. S. Maddox, secretary of
the chamber of commerce and food
administrator for the city of Sacra-
mento. The word comes from D. c..
Beers, a big cattleman Of the south
ern part of the state, who reports
that unless proper grazing territory
is found for his cattle within a short
time there is danger of serious loss
Maddox gave the word out to the
public in the hope that it would reach
land owners of northern California
who had grazing lands available, and
who would communicate with the
chamber of commerce, offering reas-
enable terms along patriotic lines OF
helping to save the beef supply of the
state.
The matter is also being taken up
with the state council of defense that
a speedy solution of the problem be
reached and arrangements made for
shipping the cattle north in case the
lands can be found available.

GERMANS LACK THINKING MEN
Despite Advanced Age Of Many Prus-
sian Warriors They Have Little
Comprehension Of Situation.

Germany in making a call for men
up to forty.seyen years Of age has ta-
ken advantage of two more years
above the conscription maximum of
forty-five. Most individuals when they
approach the fiftieth year have about
concluded their fighting days through
inability to keep down their girth
measure. But certain conditions in
Germany, over which that country has
had little control, have served, no
doubt, to keep the human form within
military bounds. Americans who go to
France, therefore, are likely to have
to fight babes in arms and old gentle
men If the age limits are stretched
further under Prussian regulations, OBJ
serves the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps, after all, this conscripting
of men above forty-fve will produce
some effect In the ranks that may be
useful toward letting light into dark
places. The army knows little Of what
is going on in the world. If half of the
seasoned soldiers really believe that
London is in ruins and the German
fleet is in control of the sea, they may
learn something to their advantage by
consulting a few of the old stagers who
are compelled at this late date to join
tha polOrS Mon horn in 1870 oupht IN
be more difficult to deceive, and few
of such scattered through the army
may serve to enllghten the fighting
multitude as to the error of their be-
lief. 1t is presuming much to expect
results from this source, but if man
above forty;fve is good for anything
as trench fighter, he ought to be good
at shooting off his mouth. And, after
all, what Germany lacks most is more
men who will talk and think.
