ASKS removal
OF SOLDIER DEAD
Minister of War Declares Dir
ficulties Of Such Plan Are
InsurmountabIe at
Present.

Paris, Sept. 20.-The question Of
removing soldiers bodies from mill
tary cemeteries along the front was
brought up this morning in the
Chamber of Deputies when M. Pa
caud of Vendee asked the minister
of wa what measures the govern
nent expected to take to allow fam
lilies to recover the bodies OF their
dead. He said a bill had been in
troduced forbidding the removal of
bodies for three years, because
means of transport were lacking.
He declared that at present there
are plenty of trains to take tourists
to the battlefields. He asserted the
chamber ought not to dissolve with
out giving some satisfaction to fam
lilies, especially as American news
papers were stating that American
dead were to be taken back across
the Atlantic.
Replying in behalf of the ministry,
M. Abrami of Pas de Calais, said
the difficulties were insurmount-
able and that as much as the gov
eminent would like to grant satisfac-
ton, there would be risk of many
terrible mistakes" in cemeteries
ploughed up several times by artil-
lery fire. He declared bodies OF
German soldiers had been found in
graves bearing the inscription, "A
French soldier is buried here"

Hall County Has
About Completed
Its New Highway

Lincoln, Sept. 20.-(Special.)-
Hall county's section of the state
highway system now under con-
struction with federal and state aid
is practically completed, according
to the monthly bulletin issued by
the Nebraska highways bureau. A
few minor fills, finishing over some
bad spots, and grading at intersec-
tons and bridges is all that now re-
mains to be done. The road is now
ir use throughout its whole extent.
1t is included in the Lincoln High
way.
The Hall county board decided to
do the work itself, rather than let a
contract for it. A tractor, two
graders and seven dump wagons,
along with some other equipment,
was purchased at cost of $1,000.
The cost of building the road is
about so cents per cubic yard-con-
siderably less than any projects
which have been let by contract.
Between Nebraska City and
Plattsmouth. says the bulletin, seven
miles of highway has been finished,
and the entire project, II miles long.
will be out of the way before the
ground freezes. A great deal of
traffic in foodstuhs is expected to
PASS over this road. 1t is bordered
all along by productive farms and
approximately l0,500 tons of farm
products will be hauled over it this
year
The Osceola-D City road is
more than third completed,
nearly 10 miles being ready for use.
The steepest grades are from to S
per cent. Some trouble has been
experienced, the report states. and
some delay caused over securing
rights-of-way. removing fences and
dynsmiting out rows of trees. In
some cases telephone poles had to

Arthur F. Mullen Attacks
Siman Measure Passed by
Last Legislature = Says
1t Is "IntoIerance."

Lincoln, Sept. 20.-(Special. y
Bitter denunciation of the Nebraska
state senate is contained in a brief
filed in the Nebraska supreme court
by Attorney Arthur F. Mullen of
Omaha. democratic national COM
mitteeman. attacking the Siman for
eign language law passed by the last
legislature. The upper branch was
republican with the exception of
three of the SO members.
Mr.. Mullen is attorney for John
Siedlik, one Of the members of the
St. Francis Polish Cath sic church
at South Omaha. The brief, 40 pages
in length, discusses the Siman law,
which prohibits the teaching of for
eign language in all schools up to
and including the eighth grade.
Mr. Mullen pays his compliments
to the upper branch of the Nebraska
legislature in the following terms:
Says 'Born in Hatred"
The proof of the ferocity of in
tolerance appears on the bloody
pages of history of man. The in
slant case illustrates how ferocious
bigots become. The act originated in
the state senate of Nebraska. 1t was
born in hatred, national bigotry and
racial prejudice. After our state was
disgraced by this enactment, the in
slant case was started to question its
constitutionality.
An eminent scholar of our state,
one Of the leaders of our bar, exer-
cising right guaranteed to him by
The laws of the state, becomes one of
the counsel for the complainants.
The dull bludgeon of force and coer-
cion was used to compel him to with
draw from the prosecution of the
case. After he had Withdrawn the

Writes Director General Of

Lincoln, Sept. 20.-(Special.) BE
sides the telegram which he sent to
the federal director of railroads call
ing attention to the urgent need of
freight cars for shipping wheat from
western Nebraska, Governor Nc
Kelvie has also written a letter to
that official on the same subject. 1t
is as follows:
"My dear Mr.. Hines:
Il have just wired you as follows:
Car shortage at certain points in
Nebraska very acute. For instance,
at Dalton, Neb., farmers have l,000,-
600 bushels of wheat, part of which
must be disposed of at once to avoid
loss from inadequate shelter, and to
give relief to banks in that commun-
ity. 1t is of the utmost importance
that something be done regarding
this at the earliest possible moment.
i have delayed taking this mat
ter up with you because | feel that
your department is doing about
everything that it can, but the de-
mands are SO urgent now that | feel
some unusual effort should be made
to give relief to the people in the
wheat-growing section of western
Nebraska. The wheat crop in that
area was unusually large this year,
both from standpoint of acreage
and yield.
THE banks have financed the
farmers throughout the harvesting
and threshing season until their re-
sources are practically exhausted.
The elevators are full to overflow
ing and much of the wheat is on the
ground. Thus you must realize, I
feel sure, the seriousness of the sit
uation, and / know you will do
everything possible to relieve it."

Relic of Past Charge.
Mr.. Mullen says the Siman law is
a remnant of the activities of those
who, in the dim past, cut off ears,
burned out eyes, pulled out tongues,
branded and mutilated men because
of their opinions.
He compares the law with the pol
ICY Of prohibition. which he says was
adopted as last resort.
The most vicious kind of prohibi-
ton SO far proposed is language pro-
hibition. Language prohibition is
the most drastic and far-reaching
step that has been attempted in deal
ing with personal rights of citizens.
1t seems to be a Nebraska product"
