German Language Books
Turned Over to Regents

Lincoln, April 4.-Rather than
burn German language books in a
huge bonfire, and thus place the
committee in the light of being ia
natics, the house committee appoint
ed to investigate the foreign Ian
guage books in the state circulating
library, recommended that all such
books be placed in the hands of the
state library officials with lnstruc-
tons to the latter to weed out all
such books that contain any sedl-
tious matter or propaganda.
Members of the committee report
ed that there was only one man on
the body who could read the German
language, therefore the contents OF
the books turned over to the state
library could not be ascertained and
that it was deemed advisable to turn
all of the books over to the board
of regents of the state university.

Legislature of 1917 Is
Responsible for Mixup


Lincoln, April 4.--(Special.) y
Failure of the Nebraska legislature
of 1917, overwhelmingly democratic,
to extend the soldiers voting law to
give the soldiers a right to vote at
special elections is responsible for
the present mixup on the constitu-
tional convention, friends of the bill
explained Friday.
The law now limits the soldiers
vote to general or primary elections.
As the selection of the delegates for
the constitutional convention is a
special election, there will be no
soldier vote to delay the certifica-
ton of delegates to the convention,
it is claimed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Over five mile flower -strewn pathway, General Pershing led his famous first division down Fifth avenue today to the wild plaudits of 2,000,0 900 proud countrymen. It was the last great review of the world war for New York and it was a fitting climax to a long series of military speetaeles.
 The commander of Americas armies shared honors with the battle scared veterans who won undying fame on the fields of France. For all of them it was one of life's most memorable days. AS he rode down the avenue, the stern lines of the leaders face re- faxed in the now famous Pershing smile and when he dismounted in Washington Square at the end of the march surrounded by his staff, he ex- claimed:
 Tt was the most enthusiastic and patriotic outburst I ever have seen.'
 Behind Pershing rode score of ma- jor generals and brigadiers and back of them strode the commanders guard of honor, the world tanned composite regiment of doughboys, the flower of six divisions. Stalwart young giants,

At the same time he asked Governor Coolidge for addi. tional troops from outside the city The governor immediately called oui the Fourth brigade and this evening he ordered out the 14th and goth infan- try.
