Reports Of a condition which
threatened a serious reflection on
the Omaha Y. M. c. A. and which
promised to demand the attention
Of the city health commissioner,
were circulated broadcast yesterday
morning, when several hundred sol
diers, passing through the city. were
said TO have been ordered not to
swim in the association pool be-
cause of its filthy condition.
The "Y" was given a clean bill of
health, however, and the soldiers,
800 strong. enroute from the Van
couver, Wash, barracks TO Camp
Custer, Mich, left expressing their
appreciation of the hospitable and
courteous treatment they received
at the hands of the people of Omaha.
The trouble started when First
Lieut.. William Rehling, medical di-
rector on the train, ordered the SOL
diers not to swim in the pool be-
cause, he said, of its filthy condi-
ton" First Lieut.. Abel B. Bliss.
in command of the movement of the
troops, with Adjt. H. c. Hubert,
made an investigation and counter
manded the order Of Lieut.. Rehling.
Practically every one of the 800
used the association showers and
took plunge.
But the matter did not end here.

Asserting that the war had
brought home to America the inl-

Characterization" as it was known
in the past, has meant only the
boycott, but the time has come
when a new meaning should be
given to the word if the ideals OF
America were to be preserved.

Sleuth to Bootleggers - Omahan Killed in Battle
With Officers; Other Is Wounded

Life is not all beer and skittles
for the whisky pirates who are en-
gagged in the adventurous task of
running cargoes of contraband
booze into the bone dry state of Ne
braska. Rather has it lately begun
to be a matter Of powder and lead,
of running the gauntlet of deter
mined officers of the law, who shoot
to kill.
In the last few weeks there have
been several desperate battles be-
tween smugglers, in which one man
has been killed and several wounded,
while there have been numerous
hairbreadth escapes on the part OF
daring whisky runners from death.
All of those reckless men who
are engaged in the unlawful game
make their trips armed to the teeth,
ready to meet the representatives
of the law in a fight to the death il
need be.

United States Senator Hitchcock

Supporters of the resolution of

Senator Hitchcock opposed the bill

measure by the president of the
United States as matter of ex-

ming of the war.
Senator Hitchcock is in the city,
having arrived here from Washing
