Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-04-27

Mrs. Matt FINLEY of Council
Bluffs has received from her hus-
band, Major FINLEY, just returned
to the United States, the l68th d.
vision, American army of occupa-
ton, a flag and letter which con-
tains an unusually tender bit of SEN
timent.
The flag is now being carried by
the Council Bluffs Elks' quartet on
it's Victory loan trips, and after it
has served its present use, it will be
preserved in glass case by the
Iowa State Historical society in the
capitol building at Des Moines.
When the arnistice had been
signed, the One Hundred Sixty
eighth was ordered to march
through Belgium on its way to Ger
many. The men arrived early one
morning at the village of Beaucourt,
Belgium, where the people greeted
the Yanks with wild cheers. On the
day before, Georgette Feltz, o-year-
old, heard that the "Yanks were
coming" so she spent the entire
night securing the village for pieces
of red, white and blue clothing with

State Legislature Helps to
Heal Omaha-Lincoln Feu1

The state legislature serves one
good purpose, if nothing else, and
that is to cement friendly relations
between the capital city and the me-
tropolis. Time was when a Lincoln
lite and an Omahan would not walk
on the same side of the street to-
gether.
In days gone by if a Lincoln res
ident knew he was in the presence
of an Omaha person. he would keep
his hands on his watch and chain
and look for the nearest policeman.
In the whirligig of time those
things have all changed. A spirit OF
camaraderie has grown up between
these two cities. Nowadays Lin
coin man would lend an Omaha man
money without changing words

FAKE MESSAGES

DEAD SOLDIERS
Sir David Eerrier Tells Of
Tricks by SpirituaIists
Practiced on Distracted
Relatives of Men.

London-"I thought spiritualism
and the supernatural claims of medi-
ums were quite exploded by this
time" said Sir David Ferrier, the
eminent neuro-pathologist, in an in
terv;ew..
"The revival of the occult synchro-
nizes with the termination of the
war. when there are thousands of
people in the country suffering the
heart-breaking anguish of being un-
able to gain tidings of those dear to
them who are classified as missing
1T is only natural that these dis
tracted relatives should resort to
every means likely and unlikely to
obtain information, but am quite
unable to understand how anybody

the preposterous impositions with
which spiritualism is stepped, and, as
such, have been exposed again and

Thick curtains were then drawn
across the windows and every pre-
caution was taken to exclude the
smallest spark Of light, real or arti-

total darkness, and then, as now, the
gathering was entertained by the
mystic touch of invisible fingers, and
the rest of the nummery, which Sir
A. Conan Doyle lays such stress on.

lar book work. Under this plan they
apply themselves with enthusiasm to
both lines of instruction. Some of
these children are detectives, others
merely slow of comprehension, and
others have been retarded on account
of illness or other causes.
New Jersey has a state law which
requires that children who are three
years or more below the normal
mentality for their age. must be
placed in special classes. The the
DRY of this legislation is that it is
not fair to the teacher and children
to be handicapped by child who is
subnormal or supernormal; and it is
also contended that the exceptional
child should have exceptional in
struction. By grouping the excep-
tional cases, the best interests Of all
are served, the schoolma sters say.

Making the school fit the child,
rather than the child fit the school,
is one of the big problems being
worked out by the public school in
structors of Omaha and other cities.
The idea OF trying to apply certain
curriculum to all children of any
particular grade, and then expecting
uniform results. has been found to
be fallacy.
Out OF long public school expert
ence has grown a system of mental
or intelligence tests by which any
child may be classified. Under this
system a l5-year-old child may be
found to be s years old mentally. I'm

German Press Rails
at Proposal to Alter
Colors Of the Flag

London.-The proposal to change
the colors of the national flag of
Germany from black white-red to
black-red-gold is bitterly criticized
by the Pan-German and Nationalist
journals. DR.. Preuss, in introduc-
ing the proposal, defended it as fol

SURVIVORS TELL
TRAGIC TALE OF
HARSH|PS AT SEA
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, October ia tragic
tale of the seas was unfolded here to-
day by four survivors of the British
schooner .Onato, picked up while drift
ing helpless several hundred miles from
shore by the American steamship
Zirkel. The survivors, all from New
foundland say the captain of the onato,
James PRUSSIA, and his brother, Ernest,
first mate, were crushed 10 death by
The shifting of the ships cargo in a
gale.
Their stories, however, do not agree
with that told by Capt Daniel A. Sulli-
van, master of the Zirkel. who arrived here
today, and all four men were locked up
at the Gloucester immigration station
on charges of mutiny. They wa be
turned over to the British consul.
Captain Sullivan declared that when
he drew near the schooner he plainly
could see what appeared to be gen
eral fight raging on the little craft
deck amidships and that oneYof his Of
ficers said he had heard what he be-
lieved to be two pitsol shots.
The Onato, 105-ton schooner. was
bound for a Newfoundland port from
Oporton, Spain, with a cargo of salt. Of
ficers of the Zirkel believe the little
craft sank shortly after the four men
were taken off.
