TROOPS PATROL

1000 ON DUTY
Sporadic Firing in Negro
Section Early Today,
(By The Associated Press) }

WASHINGTON. July Al
though there was sporadic firing OF
firearms in some OF the negro dis
tricts until early this morning. the
major casualty in last nights clashes
between whites and negroes consisted
OF only one white man killed and
another probably fatally wounded.
Scores were injured in varying de-
grass as result OF blows from fists,
clubs and stones and the welding OF
knives but in none of these cases
were the wounds expected TO be fatal.
The man killed last night was Isaac
B Halbilnger, and the seriously
wounded man was Benjamin Bel
mont. both members OF the defense
guard. who were shot down on the
street by a negro while doing duty
in one OF the black districts.
Clashes Less Violent.
DeSpi- the fact the capital was
all armed camp, the fourth night OF
the race warfare was less violent than
Monday when four persons were
killed outright, aad nearly a dozen
seriously hurt. Feeling, which was
Gnflamed by reported attacks upon
whites by negroes throughout the day.
was no less bitter but an all.n,ght
rain and the presence OF 1000 heavily
armed soldiers, marines and sailors
doing duty with the 100 police and
several hundred home defense guards
acted as a deterrent upon any at
tempt a, organized mob violence.
The closing OF pool rooms, moving

Edward johnson, ST., Of the Wild
wood Department Store, corner Pacific
and Spicer avenues, appeared before
the commissioned yesterday to resent
an alleged attack said TO have been
made against his character and repu-
tatiou by the Mayor at the meeting of
the previous week. Mr.. johnson told
the Mayor that he was the equal of his
Honor in every way, Intellectually, So
cially or morally. The alleged Sian
derous remarks referred to were to the
effect that Johnson and his son were
undesirable citizens, always making
trouble, making themselves nuisauces
as it were, and that the city would be
better of without them. Not a few
persons who heard the Mayors lam
guage in denunciation Of johnson and
his son felt that he had bluudered and
had transcribed the limitations of his
office. No matter what opinion the
Mayor may hold of these men private
ly it is obviously in bad form to attack
them while the Mayor is sitting in the
capacity of a public official. The out
break resulted from the younger John
son omplainipg to Commissioner Ryan
of q near-sccident on the beach while
the former was in bathing a short time
ago. The beach air plane came SKIM
ming along to effect a landing, and
Johnson claims he had a close call from
being injured. When he made a pro-

these complaints before the Mayor the
latter became very angry and was un-
derstood to say that the guard was do
ing bis duty and would have been JUS
titled In arresting young Johnson for
his action in criticising careless beach
regulations.
The Mayor admitted at yesterdays
meeting that be has "fallen down" on
the garbage removal job, because of the
scarcity of labor. He showed consid-
cradle irritation because of the insis-
tent and repeated complaints of his
service, said he was "doing the best he
could. and if any citizens were not sat-
isfied with his work they should go to
the polls in May, 1920; that's the only

Margaret Hunt, daughter Of George
Hunt, 47OS South Twenty-seventh

daughters, but the fifth daughter,

ried and living on the South Side.
He Immediately left his home at

OMAHA BOY BACK,
TWICE WOUNDED
BY HUN BULLETS
Peter BaItzer, Former Ma
tiOnal GuaTdSman, Tells
Vivid Story Of Fight
inc in France.

Active participation in the battles
of Chateau Thierry, SCISSORS,
Marine, Argonne forest and the
Somme was the experience of Peter
Baltzer, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Batter, 3l74 Farnam street. Baltzer
was wounded twice in the battles Of
the Marine and Chateau-Thierry, and
was gassed in the Argonne forest.
He returned TO the states on Jan
uary 3, and is in Omaha today to
visit his aprents.
The American boys fought with
the grit of a superhuman," he said.
mo sooner had we set foot on
French soil last July than we en-
trained for ! Chateau-Thierry and
started fighting the same day that
we landed. Actually, the French
forces in that sector were lost until
we fellows from the old Fourth Ne
braska went at the Huns. The
English were worn out at Scissors,
and we lent a hand. We had no
chance for hand-to-hand bayonet
fighting because the boches were on.
the run toward Berlin"
Twice Wounded.
Corporal Baltzer received ma
chine gun bullets in the right ankle
and mouth. From the day he land
ed in France he was with the 10th
field artillery, which remained in
tact since July, 1918.
From the time we took our
stand in the trenches, we were not
given rest. We were at the boches
every minute of the day and night.
Whether it was over the top
accommodating duty or barrage fir
ing, the 10th field artillery did their
share"
When the Germans began an Of
fensive on September 20, Corporal
Baltzer was gassed in the Argonne
forest.
my squad was just trying to
crawl through barrage of the en-
envy, when = gas bomb exploded
near us uC Sdlu, OUG man dHGdu
of me was killed instantly. Another
to my left was wounded, and before
could put on my gas mask / was
out for the count, with chlorine gas
IN my lungs"
Brings Home Trophies.
Corporal Batter still suffers
minor effects of the gas. Scars of
bullet wounds on his upper lip and
ankle are also evident.
Il saw many Omaha boys over
there, who went through the same
hell that l went through, and all
say they wouldn't sell their exper-
fence for a gold mine"
He brought home a grip full of
German war trophies that he took
from dead Huns. Corporal Baltzer
enlisted in the old Fourth Nebraska
infantry two years ago, and until
last spring was on the Mexican bor-
der. He will got to Camp Dodge
Monday to receive his discharge
sroni the army.
