VILLAGERS OF

Moines speaking before the Roent-

Tales of German atrocities may
have been overdrawn, but there were
plenty that were not exaggerated

Capt. N. c. Prince of Omaha told

Vesle, Proud Property of Jealous War
Correspondents, Leaps from Homeless
Wait to Celebrated Yankee Mascot


With the American Army of Oc-
cupation. Coblenz, Germany,
March l5.-(By Mail mo fair
minded person could blame Vesle
if he had wagged his tail off its
hinges. 1t was some honor to be the
first American mascot to cross the
Rhine and Vesle seemed to appre-
ciate the distinction.
Vesle is no ordinary dog. He
trotted proundly at the heels of his
master across the pontoon bridge
in front of the Coblenzerhof, with
the fortress at Ehrenbrietsteln rising
majestically on the left.
Did l say master? That was an
error. He has two, and they make
more fuss over him than two old
maids over a cat. They are jealous
of his affection.
If you knew Vesle as we do you
wouldn't blame his masters about
fussing. He is the best natured purp
in the world and about the most
famous that the war has produced
in that he has hobnobbed with most
of the allied generals and dignitaries.
He has ridden on General Pershing S
train. He has attended vital war
conferences where officers of high
rank spilled strategic secrets that
the boches would have given worlds
to know. when Vesle and we war
correspondents heard them in con-
hdence.
At these sessions Vesle would
glance inquisitively at the officers,
who, with riding crops, traced COM
ing battles on wall maps. At these
times Vesle seemed bored and
snoozed between the hobnailed
boots of one of his masters.
There are dog mascots with Yam
kee outfits just as brave as Vesle,
but they have had drab existence
compared to the hero of the Press
section. His breakfast costs $50
in Luxembourg, and his dinner came
higher, taking a lot Of Heinie cur
rency that looked like tobacco cou-
pons. He has eaten in Maxims and
the most fashionable hotels in Paris
and Bordeaux and Brest and else
where, and he has been just as
thankful for handouts in the trench
es.
He is grateful for any kind of
"chow." That's what we like about
him, and his patience, too. He is as
fat as butter. No wonder. Every
body in the press gang feeds HIM
He knows those at table who slip
dainty morsels on the sly. You feel
his warm nose against your knee.
When we were fortunate enough to
rustic ducks or chickens we saved
the scraps and bones for Vesle.
He was at the front the day the
armistice was signed. He has had
experiences and adventures galore,
but perhaps his proudest achieve
ment, at least the one that Will be
longest recorded, was the day he
sat for his life size painting at Yer
sailles.
Vesle is at the left of war coun-
Gil grouping being painted by Dana
Pond, official artist for the United
States government. Pond thought
the press mascot would give tone
to the painting, which shows a
conference of General di Robilant,
of the Italian army; General Belin,
of the French army; Gen. Sackville
West. of the British army and Gen
eral Bliss of the United States army.
The studio is in the chamber OF
Omaha daily bee., 1919-04-06

What IS he doing out here? Well,
stranger, here's where you transfer,
because we're not going your way,
and it's long spin to the censor"
Wood lifted Vesle out by the scuff
of the neck and the dog climbed
right in again and looked so cold,
and cowed and helpless that both
Wood and Carroll were touched
and adopted him on the spot and
had their first row over possession
and where to seat him and what to
wrap him up with.
That is how Vesle became re-
christened and transformed from
war waif to a celebrated Ameri-
can mascot whose picture will go
down to posterity in an allied war
council picture to be hung in the
main conference room of the War
department in Washington.
But peace has complicated the
problem of dual ownership. 1t was
not so difficult to carry out a part
nership while fighting was in prog
ress, but there is a grave question
where Vesle will make his home in
America.
Let's do what the probate and
divorce courts do" suggested Car
roll. Split custodianship. Vesle
can live one month with you in
Chicago and the next with me in
Philadelphia, and keep it up"
"Where would ! come in if you
take that trip to Japan? Besides,
Mrs. Carroll may not like him."
Mrs. Wood may not either" re-
torted Carroll, beaming.
She's got to. Who could help
it? Anyway, Vesle thinks more of
me than he does of you since you
slapped his nose in front of all
those newspaper guys who came
over on the Noahs Ark to cover
the peace conference. I've got a
plan, Ray. Just before we sail for
home III have a French coiffeur
clip Vesle and make a pillow of his
fur and that will be your half OF
him "

Says He Bought Whisky
to Regain Love Of His
Estranged Dad; Fined

Whisky as a peace offering for
an estranged father is the newest
story OF the 'prodigal SON. which
came to light in the federal court

was brought before Judge Wood
rough charged with carrying nine
quarts OF whisky from Berkeley,
Cal, to Omaha.
Alfred and his father were es-
tranged since the boy joined the
marines a year ago.
He pleaded before Judge Wood
rough that he brought the liquor
for religious purposes only, in or
der that his father might have liquor
for the passover season.
Il intended this as a reconcilia-

said.

completely dampen the ardor of a

Insurance Ratings
Will Be Announced

The Pennsylvania Compensation

sent out to all members of the Bureau
the following letter received from In
surance Commissioner Thomas B.
Donaldson in reference to experience
rating:
The experience rating plan here
tofore in use is based upon the rates
container in the Pennsylvania Man
ual in 1918 and is not applicable in
certain respects to the manual of
rates which becomes effective Janu-
ary 1, 1920. Experience rates are
calculated prospectively, so that all
will be concomitant in effective date
with the new manual of rates.
At the earliest practicable date you
will kindly call a meeting of the act
uarial committee to make such fur
ther modification as may be neces-
sary.
Second. In calculating the expert
cree rates. until such time as the
actuarial committee may have form
ally established splits between death
and permanent, on the one hand,
and medical and temporary, on the
other hand, you will follow the splits
indicated by the Pennsylvania sched-
ule u experience recently compiled
for the policy years 1916 and 1917.
Third. in calculating the expert
ence rate upon any risk which has
developed losses of 100000 or more,
during the experience period, both
the schedule and manual rate shall
be ignored"
