CHAPTER III.
One Surprise and Then Another
EV OW. VOW! Oh. call off your
i dog!" begged the raggedy
figure. but much to the surprise of
Peggy and Billy he spoke in a very
low voice-almost a whisper. This
was very strange, as he might have
been expected to yell his loudest,
with Johnny Bull chewing at his
trousers seat. "Quick, he'll tear EN-"
urged the raggedy chap.
And indeed at that moment, there
was ripping and tearing as the
seat Of the trousers gave way and
Johnny Bull dropped to the ground.
The Tragedy figure, still clutching
Billy's lunch box, scrambled higher
into the tree. There he inspected the
damage done to his garments.
Presently he looked down and
grinned.
THAT shows how wise I am to
wear two pairs Of trousers" he
chuckled. while the outer casing
has been punctured by your fero-
cious beast, am still clad comfort
ably and respectfully"
"Give us back our lunch" de-
manded Billy.
Are YOU as hungry as am?
When did you eat last?" asked the
Tragedy figure.
"Why, not since breakfast" said
Billy.
"Fie on you then, for keeping food
from one hungrier than yourself"
scolded the raggedy figure with a
grin. II have not dined since yester-
day noon and feel now the need Of
a bite"

man for the presidency. He has
been and is the most progressive

ton needs just such a man as we
enter into the turbulent constructive
period Of the world in which the
United States must stand out as q

must set the pace for the
new struggling republics to fol-
low, and as such must have the
soundest, safest man at the helm.

LIQUOR In Nebraska,


Oakland, Neb., May 12-1919. -
| To the Editor of The Bee: Please
| advise me if there is as much liquor
in Nebraska at present as when the
saloons were running wide open.
G. o. B.
Answer-We do not know how
much liquor there was in Nebraska
! when prohibition went into effect,
nor how much there is now. AS
there were a number of breweries
in operation prior to prohibition, as
well as big distilleries and many
wholesale houses and distributing
warehouses were fully stocked then,
but are out of business now, it is
undoubtedly true there is less liquor
in Nebraska now than before the
business was made illegal.
Omaha's City Government.
Omaha, Neb., May Ito the
Editor Of The Bee: I read in the
editorial in the World-Herald this
morning and was surprised at the
astuteness Of Harvey. In compar-
ing the present city administration
to a boy he has exceeded the fond
est expectations of his intellectual
guide. If there ever was a bunch of
boyish city commissioners, we have
them. Kid Towl gets mad at Kid
Ringer and Kid Smith tells the
teacher and the next day the kids
all vote together to take away Kid
Buffers toys. His sympathy toward
boys has clouded his perception of
the fact that there are several Oma-
ha doctors who sacrificed their pri
vate practice and their personal con-
venience to serve their country for a
salary much less than that offered
to the health commissioner. In the
national service they received the
Identical training demanded by the
present self-confessed incompetents
at the city hall, and Harvey, and
have the advantage over an "outside'
man in that they will not be wholly
under the influence of the luminous
incompetent who, as Harvey said,
"shone most brilliantly as a critic
and assailant." To read the World
Herald of three months ago and
then see Harvey in the role of apollo
gist for Kid Ringer makes people
wonder at the mental acrobatics of
the average editor How does it feel
to be on both sides of the fence?

Harry Lauder first came to
America in 1907, appearing on the
regular vaudeville circuits In more
recent years he has headed his own
vaudeville company.
Yes, Lauder was born in Scot
land. Portobello was his birthplace
and August 4, 1870 the date. His
parents were poor and he worked
hard in youth and young manhood
in mills and mines. He began his
career as comic singer in the Lon
don music halls and gradually made
his way upward. He composes most
of his own songs and writes the
music as well. In recognition Of
his services during the recent war,
he was knighted by King George on

Sweden's Socialist Leader.

Hjalmar Branting, who is urging
the allies to feed the larger cities Of
Russia as the most effective means
of combating the spread of bolshe-
vism, has long been famous as the
leader Of the Swedish Socialists.
From the beginning of the war his
sympathies have been on the side of
the entente and from the outset he
insisted that the defeat of the kaiser
was essential to a lasting peace.
Mr.. Branting was swept into politics
in the great Radical Socialist move
ment in Sweden in the eighties. Up
till that time he had devoted him
self principally to the study of math-
ematies and astronomy, but he gave
up the prospects of successful ca
reer in this direction and threw him
self into the new political movement.
Under his leadership the Swedish
Social Democratic party has become
a real power in the state. Mr..
Branting is brilliant writer and
speaker of rare elouuence.

Salvation Army Control?

Is the government in authority
over Salvation Army drives? A. R.
The Salvation Army has control of
Its own drives, just as the Y. M. C.
A., or the Red Cross, direct their
financial campaigns. Commander
Eva Booth is in charge of the big
campaign conducted in the Saliva
ton Army this week throughout the
United States.
Aside from the creditable position
she and the organization she repre-
sentS mold in relation to tine war,
she ranks as one of the notable wo-
men OF the generation. The story
OF her rise from the lowest rank to
the position Of commander of the
forces of the Salvation Army in the
United States is little short of ro-
mantle. Though she is the fourth
daughter Of the late General Will
liam Booth. the founder Of the army,
she has won her way from the ranks
on her own merits. While she was
still a schoolgirl she began the work
OF the army, selling war cries on
the London streets. In the course
of time she rose to the post OF field
commander and was given charge
of the international training home in
London. Before taking charge Of
the organization in the United States
Miss Booth spent nine years as COM
mander Of the forces in Canada,
where she wrought splendid service
in the work to which her abilities
are consecrated.

Senator BOrah.


M. J.-If you will refer back to
The Bee Of May II, you will find the
answer to your question about Sena-
tor Lodge. William E. Borah, who
is actively opposing the league of ma
tons covenant, is the senior United
States senator from Idaho and a
noted leader of the so-called prog
ressive section of the republican
party. Senator Borah Is distinctly
a product of the middle west Edu-
Gated in the public schools of Iii
nois and at the University of Kansas,
he chose the law as his profession
and began practice in Kansas. Then
he pioneered northward and west
ward, settling in Boise when Idaho
was a young state, and at once at
tracted attention because of his
progressive and radical views. His
reputation as lawyer and his OPP
position to the big financial inter-
ests that were exploiting the north
west finally won his election to the
senate. He is a floor debater of
more than ordinary legal ability and
forensic eloquence, and at times has
been regarded as "big enough tim
Der" to be considered as a possible
republican presidential candidate.

Deliberate Destruction OF Arz1ey Property is
 Related by AUiCxtOr
Officers Chopped Parts Made BOnfres With
 100 New Planes. STAMFORD PILOT
 STARTLES COMM.

New York, July 3O-The sub-- committee of the House head ed by Royall c. Johnson of South Dakota which has been Investigating cruelties practic- ed upon prisoners in American prison camps abroad, turned it's attention here today to the de- struction of American army property in France under the direction of army officers. The first incident taken up was the disposition of 100 airplanes at Colombes-Les-Belles.
 The first witness, Paul L. Lock- wood of Stamford, Conn.,, formerly a lieutenant of aviation in the First Pursuit group, testified that upon returning to America he met a num- Der of his colleagues in Garden City who told him that the planes had been damaged and then burned. The engines were chopped, the witness said his informers told him, only the gas tanks and radiators being saved.
 The planes then were thrown into pile and burned. While the fire was in progress armed guards pa trolled the vicinity to prevent photos being taken, according to the witness, who estimated that the salvaged parts were worth about "15 cents each" Some of the machines he had been told. had been flown only 20 min utes.

Ascertain
 Condition
 By Breath
New Method of Finding If Person Has Been
 Inbibing.

It's not the bleary, weary look fin your eye or the uncertain step that any more tells the tale of indulgence. Police officers can't trust the prohibit tion connections to produce prima facie evidence of drinking; so they determine themselves by smelling the breath of a suspected person, whether or not he has been 1mbibing.
 This was true last night when De- tectives Seery and Derrick visited the home of Toni Morak at 632 Bost- wick avenue and failing to find the usual signs of intoXication charged by Arthur W. Lord, of 1153 Iranis- tan avenue, after the two had figured In an accident at Park and Fairfield avenues, made him submit to the breath examination. The detectives by the way concluded that Morak wasn't drinking.
 Morak, driving a motorcycle east on Fairfield avenue approached Park avenue as Lord was turning west from that street into Fairfield ave- nue. The two machines got mixed up and collided and as result Mir and Mrs. M. ID. Croo and their child, of PIC Gregory street, were slightly hurt. Morak had his leg injured.
 The accident was reported by Lord, who declared that Morak was drunk and was driving on the wrong side of the street. Detectives investi- gated but made no arrests.
