HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BITi

We the men of the A. E. F.
Ask you, the ones who stayed
At home in safety and comfort
If real mans game you've played
While we were in the trenches,
Or over the top in a raid,
We wonder how you spent your time
Whether you be man or maid.
Did you do your bit back home there
We're you always on the job,
/ Working for our welfare,
Whether Soldier, Marine, or COBB
Did your dollars help swell the Lib
erty Loan?
Did you to the Red Cross give?
Did you grieve for those of us who
died,
Died that you might live?
Did you do the things that were clean
and right,
Or the things that were mean and
wrong?
Did you keep the promises made to us,
Or were you just stringing US along?
Did you try to protect our mothers or
wives?
Try to sooth the grief and pain
Occasioned by our going,
Or did you think only of gain?
Did you help to keep us supplied with
smokes?
And how did you cast your vote?
Did you consider us at the ballot box
Or did you make us the goat?
Did you try to keep our jobs for us?
Or try from us to steal?
To put is short, did you give to us
A clean, or dirty deal?
We're coming home two million strong,
Our work over here is done,
And We'll want to know just what you
are
And just what you have done.
We're coming home with eyes to see
And we're neither dumb nor deaf,
So prepare for a full accounting
To the men of the A E. F.

Observers Confident That
Good Constitution Will Be

Members OF the committee on COM
mittees for the constitutional con-
vention are busily at work and hope
to have the draft for the organize

convenes At 2 O'Clock Monday after
noon.
It is expected that when the mem
pcrs get together at that time the

Outsiders who visit the convention
hall appear to be unanimous in the
belief that the convention is COM
posed of the best class of delegates
rhat could possibly have been gath
cred together and that as result
"a good constitution will be adopted
for presentation to the voters in
1920.
The resolution of f. M. Pollard of
Cass, introduced yesterday, gives an
indication Of the feeling of the dele
gates regarding the submission of
the new constitution. If the resolu-
ton should be adopted it would
nean that each section OF the new
constitution will be submitted sepa-
rately and then if defeated just that
part would be killed and the old
section would stand and would not
affect the rest of the work of 'he
convention.

Lloyd George Opposes
Party Plan in Britain

Manchester, England, Dec. O.
Premier Lloyd George, speaking be-
fore the Reform club today, totally
rejected the suggestion>that the time
had arrived for a renewal of party
distinctions by the liberals and con-
servatives.
He pointed to the experiences of
the United States where, he said,
party strife had been renewed pre-
maturely, in consequence of which
peace was jeopardized and the
league of nations endangered in the
land which took the most prominent
and distinguished part in its promo
ton. The premier evoked storm
of applause when he announced, Il
am a free trader"
Referring to Ireland, he declared
he hoped to make a real contribu-
ton to settlement of the Irish ques-
ton, the unionists being prepared
to make great sacrifices in order to
preserve national unity.

Ex-Kaiser Must Pay Taxes
If He Remains in Holland

The Hague, Dec. 6.-(By The As
ISOLATED PreSs)-The question of
former Emperor Williams presence
in Holland was discussed in the
Dutch Parliament Thursday in con-
nection with the possibility of fore
ing him to pay an income tax.
Jonkher Devreys, minister of f.
nance, said in effect that if the for
mer kaiser really had been permit
ted to buy house at Doom for a
permanent residence the govern
ment would undoubtedly tax him as
resident of Holland. 10.
Socialists in Parliament have been
agitating this question for some
time. Their antipathy to the resi-
dence of the former emperor in Hol-
land has been increased by recent
reports in Dutch newspapers indi-
eating he is permitted now to go
about as he pleases.
One report printed this morning,
and which The Associated Press is
informed from the Bentinck castle
at Amerongen is untrue, is that the
former kaiser, with the Dutch prince
consort, spent Thursday hunting
wild bears at the latter's estate near
ADeIdorn.

Dental Examination
Questions Reported
On Sale in Chicago

Lincoln, Dec. 6.-(Special. 1.-The
scandal connected with the stealing
of the questions to be used in the
examination of dental students
which received so much attention
last spring has evidently spread to
Chicago and yesterday Attorney
General Davis received the follow
ing letter from Fl w. Shepardson,
one of the directors Of examinations
in Illinois:
81 have heard Indirectly that there
was a serious scandal in connection
with the dental examination which
was held in Nebraska last June,
and that you had charge of the
case and therefore are familiar with
the facts.
Il wonder il you would be will
ing to let me know the general de-
tails of the case. A report has re-
Gently been brought to my attention
that examination questions in dem
tistry were offered for sale in Chi
cago on the occasion of the last
examina ton in that subject under
the auspices of this department.
We have been taking every precau-
ton to protect our questions from
the eyes of those not entitled to
them and / am At loss to under
stand how this rumor arose. There
has been a suggestion made to me
that one of the dental fraternities
is involved in the matter.
IF there is anything in the Ne
braska situation which would be of
assistance to this department, I
should greatly appreciate the in
formation"
The attorney general has an
swered the letter giving him the
facts which are we'll known to the
general public in Nebraska. He
admitted that the questions had been
stolen and sold to the students, they
knowing that they had been dishon-
estly procured and that the students
were reprimanded, but given another
chance later.
