it is the 'Father" of the A. f. F.
Names that will stand out in
war records for generations to come
are the names of children of the
1st Division. First to arrive on
European battlefelds and first in
many things, this 1st Division,
which New York will be privileged
to gaze upon next Wednesday, has
given to our Army Register more
generals stars than any fighting
aggregation of the future may hope
to give.
AS commander of the 1st, in May,
1917, with the two stars of major
general on his shoulder straps, the
first child of this Father" organi-
zation was General John J. Perish
ing. He returns from Europe
with four stars where the two were
formerly placed, and Congress has
Just decreed that they are his for
life.
The second child of the 1st Di-
vision commanded the artillery
brigade in France during the fall
of 1917. Called home to become
chief of staff in Washington, he,
too, to-day wears the coveted four
stars of full general. He is Cen
eral Peyton c. March.

Next in line of rank to emanate
from the early organization OF
Americas veteran military organi-
zation was Lieutenant General Rob-
ert Lee Bullard, regular army
colonel just before we entered the
war, a brigadier general ON his ar
rival in France, a major general IN
command of the lst at Cantlgny
and a three" starred" lieutenant
general in command of the I'd Army
long before the armistice. SO proud
was Bullard, Georgian of dyed

the division after one battle that he
wrote an order praising it and fer
yently calling upon quotations from
Civil War speeches of Abraham
Lincoln for emphasis.
From two full generals and one
lieutenant general born of the lst
Division one may pass his eye over
the much revised army register to-
dav and recall names of generals
in abundance who saw their hrst
actual European war experience
with the division as captains, majors

nection with the unit gave them
the right to go forth and command

The division, the last to leave
France, is possibly the only division
to come home intact. Other dl-

Social Ethics" Lecture
SWamped With Girls

Boston.-At Boston university,
DR.. Eleanor Berthe announced a
lecture to girls who were engaged
entitled Social Ethecs."
Girls hocked to the lecture room.
Whether they >feally were engaged
mattered little to them. They
wanted to hear that lecture. If
they weren't engaged they created
that impression until:
DR.. Berthe remarked that she
knew several of the girls in the
audience who were not engaged
That settled it. Many of the girls
got up from their seats and left.
II could have been engaged, any
way" said one girl.
The girls who remained wore
engagement rings and they heard
DR.. Bertine's lecture. Among
other things she said:
"A man has better time when in
love than when out of it, and then
for the benefit of the girls: 1--WE
are not ready for uniform divorce
law until we have equal suffrage"

American Students
Busy at Cambridge

Cambridge.-A desire to inspect
Emmanuel College, where John
Harvard studied at Cambridge. an
earnest ambition to initiate their
British confreres into the mysteries
of base bali and childlike power of
absorbing enjoyment are the salient
characteristics Of the two hundred
or so American soldier students
row at Cambridge for the May
term.
These youngsters, who represent
colleges in nearly every section of
the states, were entertained during
the Easter holidays by committees
Of ladies and members of the faculty
and had an opportunity to enjoy
dancing, bridge and sightseeing to
their hearts content
Harvard's old college was the
principal goal of the sightseers, but

he was an undergraduate were also
tremendously popular. AS TO the

Instead of combining themselves,
as planned, to the subjects they had
taken in their home colleges, the
young Americans have seized every
opportunity to attend all the lee
lures possible outside of their 'regu-

The impression they and the
young naval officers who preceded
them have made is so favorable that
it is believed they will forge a new

Paving Bond Issue will Come
Tuesday
Civic and Other Organizations Of Douglas County
Unite to Boost lssue-About 5000 Women Who
Registered Are Eligible to Vote.

The campaign for paving us
miles of Douglas county roads
closed last night, although an appeal
to Douglas county men and women
will be made through the newspa-
pers Monday. Election day is Tues
day.
While the campaign has been con-
Quoted by an allied committee from
the Chamber of Commerce. Grain
exchange, Live Stock exchange,
Real Estate board, Automobile
Dealers association, Automobile
club, T. P. A.. Omaha Rotary club,
Associated Retailers, and the Coun-
try Precincts organization, practi-
caly every business man in Omaha
has assisted in some way in boosting
for the paved road system.
Twenty thousand Douglas county
women were eligible to vote, but
less than 5000 registered to vote on
the bond issue. Election Commits
sioner Moorhead expects full
women's vote to be polled.
The Douglas county commission
ers are assisting in the paved roads
campaign, and yesterday gave out a
statement telling how small will be
the tax upon individuals for the paw
ing of the road bonds.
The working man with a cottage
will pay just 81 additional taxes per
year because of these paved roads,
said Commissioner O'Connor. .
IF his home is worth $4,000, his
additional tax will be $3.50 per year.
"In the long run the cost of the
paved roads will not equal the cost
of keeping up the roads just as they
are today, that is, unpaved. And
the up-keep of unpaved roads con-
t;nues forever, while the cost of
paved roads is paid gradually. 1t
costs more to keep Douglas county's
unpaved roads in condition than it
will cost to pay the interest on the
road bonds.
"If Douglas county votes the paw
ing Tuesday, the government and
state will donate to us 81 for every
S. we vote. In this way we will get
back, as a gift, nearly as much
money as we pay out.
1T looks to us like "a one-sided
proposition-all in our favor and
nothing against us"
The allied committee on paved
roads is particularly pleased at the
position which is being taken by
farmers out in the county who were
disappointed in not getting one Of
the paved roads to pass Immediately
in front of their farms. These farm
'ers are all lining up" for the bonds
Yesterday w. P. Hart, who was &C
tive in the movement to have road
No. 81 from Lincoln highway I to

tons to the county commissioners
in the interest of that road, called
