ed by the visitors. They went
away sounding high praise of all
the local arrangements for enter
tainment.

ance companies are the largest in
vcstors in farm and city mortgages

opened to the present prosperity
OF the middle west and of Omaha
herself as never before.

assets were represented during the
week in Omaha, bankers, invest
ment companies, Chamber Of Com
merce, Omaha Bar association, and

Corporal Tmny's Direct Hits Made ,
Eight Pesky 'Jerries" Scatter Some

CAMP MERRITT, N. j., March 19.-
When the smoke screen made by the
Americans and the "Jerries" on Sep
tember 20, 1918, at the 'Hindenberg
stunt" drifted before a freshening
breeze, Corporal Jimmy Doris, of M
Company, 108th Infantry, made sew
eral discoveries. He found that of his
squad of eight none remained tit for
action; that he was several hundred
feet ahead of his comrades and that
he was surrounded on three sides by
machine gun nests. When he tried to
walk, he also learned that piece of
shrapnel, which he had scarcely feel
hit him, had deprived him of his pow
er of locomotion. But he used his
natural bravery and his head and he
is now alive and cited.
II was a long way from home and
mother" said Corporal Doris ycster-
day, "as far as l'l ever care to be.
was without a gun and revolver, and
my only ammunition consisted Of three
Mills grenades. My rife had been
crushed when a timber, drawn by
frightened horses, had passed over the
shell hole where we had been waiting
to advance.
"The machine-gun bullets almost
made roof over my head. / could
hear them snap, which meant they
were coming uncomfortably close.
The nearest nest was about five yards
away between me and our lines. If
that were destroyed I had a chance to
crawl to safety.
81 took two grenadcs, intending to
save one for an emergency. BY con-
torting my body bit l managed to
squirm around so that my head was
in the direction of the nest between
me and a longer life. Having been
bombing instructor at Wadsworth
was confident of my success. | threw
the bombs in rapid succession. Both
were direct hits, and the eight men in
the nest we're scattered in various di-
rections.
"I started to return to our lines
but by this time the 'Yanks' were com
ing up. l managed to stand up, when
high explosive she'll dropped nearby
and two pieces lodged themselves in
me, one in the leg and the other in the
shoulder"

4O8 Officers and Men of
lO4th Machine Gun Bat
talon Reach Home Port
Hours Ahead of Time
Charleston and Harrisburg
Bring Other Contingents,
Including Air Squadron

Five thousand troops, including the
last of the eth Division, reached home
yesterday on three 1. United States
cruisers.
The New York unit to act as the
rearguard of the returning host of
fighters was the 104th Machine Gun
Battalion, of 12 officers and 396 men,
which was brought in by the cruis-
er Seattle. The cruiser Charleston
brought the 147th Aero Squadron, of
which Quentin Roosevelt was q mem
Der, and some Of the 165th Infantry, as
casuals. The Harrisburg brought part
of the 18th Infantry detachment, and
two air service construction COM
panies.
Such good time did the fleet make
that the Seattle steamed past the Bat
terry at 7 o'clock yesterday morning,
hours ahead of schedule. The Mayors
Committee of Welcome boats, the Pa
troll and the Correction, with the fam
lilies of the machine gunners on board,
which was to have gone down the Bay
to meet the cruisers, was hard put to
it to steam up the river in time to
greet it at Hoboken
Descendant of Troop c
The 1o4th machine gunners came
home in charge of Major R. R. Mol
ineux, of Syracuse, who succeeded
Lieutenant Colonel Charles H. King
after the latter had been wounded in
action. According to the unit history
issued on its arrival, the 104th is the
Ilineal descendant of Troop C, Brook
lyn's crack cavalry regiment.
ut was on Bastile Day of last year
that the battalion reached the Flanders
front and went through its first she'll
ing" said Captain John Brodsky, of 26
Van Buren, Street.
After a month of shelling from
Mount KENNEL the battalion on Aug
ust 20, took over the front line oppo
site this position. BY night the Ger
mans harassed bombed, raidcd and
