On Account of Coal Fields

Paris, Wednesday, May 2S.-In
the section treating on territorial
questions the German counter pro-
posals to the terms presented by
the allies say, according to synop-
sis reaching Paris by the way Of
Basel that "the territory of the Saar
inhabitated by 100000 persons, is to
be detached from the German en-
pire solely because of claims upon
its coal"
= 1t is pointed out that during IS
years the territory is to be subject
to the control of commission Gin
the nomination of which the pop

Regarding Schleswig- Holstein, the

BOYS RETURN IN
new OUTFITS FOR
OMAHA WELCOME
Shoes, Brooches, TUNES, In
Fact, Everything the Me-
braska Soldiers Wear Is
Brand New.
tBy Union Pacific Press Bureau.)


When the Nebraska men Of the
soth division got home they were
all logged out in completely new
outfits. Shoes. breeches, TUNES and,
in fact, everything was issued to
them while in the debarkation
camps. Teh old, war-worn hob
nailed boots, the torn or dirty uni
forms which were companions of
hard days in the Argonne and in
Germany was turned in for cleaning
and repair.
In issuing the new clothing,
enough equipment of assorted sizes
for the entire organization is sent
up to one point, usually headquar
tiers, each unit sending over sup
ply squad to pick out what they
need
1t is a great scramble in some
places. Some companies need all
large sizes, others have to carefully
select the outfits for their different
men. Some of them need big shoes
and other units demand small ones.
Each one is on its toes, as it were,
to get the best for their men in
order to make good showing on
the great day when they get home.
There is a great picking and choos-
ing when word comes to carry away
the new buds, and woe to the unit
whose squad is late and gets only
the leavings. 1t is likely to send
home all of its perfect 36s in size
48 uniforms or give them 1917 shoes
to squeeze IA size feet into.
A captain rushed into his COM
pany billet, wild-eyed and out of
breath. Turn out squad on the
rum" he painted. The clothing is
sue is at headquarters and they've
notified most of the other com
panies first Get down there quick
if you fellows don't want to go
home looking like scarecrows."
The supply squad took it literally
"on the run" and arrived at head
quarters in phalanx formation. The
ensuing scene resembled nothing so
much as a first-class trench raid,
but they cot what they went after,
retiring victorious with the proper
sized clothes as their loot"

RESCUE OF HAWKER
AND GRIEVES MADE
W ITH DIFFICULTY
'Airmen Greatly Exhausted
When Picked Up; Waves
Made Task Hard.

Horsens, Denmark, May 29.-(By
the Associated Press).-The Danish
steamer Mary, which rescued Harry
G. Hawker and Lieutenant Com
mander Grieves, in mid-Atlantic on
May 10, when they were compelled
to descend during their attempt to
fly from Newfoundland to Ireland,
arrived here early today. Capt.
Dunn and his mates told of the res
cue of the aviators.
Second Mate Hoey had the watch
with Seaman Schwartz at the helm
when at g o'clock on the morning of
Monday, May 10. they sighted the
airplane, which came down into the
seas off>the bow of the ship. Hoey
and Schwartz Immediately prepared
to launch boat and with First Mate
Schubert, Seaman Fred Jensen and
Christian Larsen, the ships carpen-
ter, they set out for the airplane.
The crew of the Mary had consid-
cradle difficulty in launching a boat
and Capt. Dunn said he doubted
whether it would have been possible
to do so had the airplane appeared
an hour later than it did.
Airman Greatly Exhausted.
Hawker and Grives were greatly
exhausted after the rescue, the cap
tain said, so much so that they de-
clined preferred food in order to
obtain needed sleep. Capt. Dunn
declared that the aviators naturally
were upset because the Mary had
no wireless and they were unable to
inform their relatives that they were
safe. The captain said that Hawker
also was somewhat disappointed be-
cause he was unable to salvage the
airplane so that he might learn def
initely the reason why he had failed.
when l came on the bridge"
Captain Dunn said, "the machine
had already alighted on the water.
The airmen told us that before CON-
ing down they had dropped rockets.
but we did not see them. The work
of saving the airmen was pretty dill
ficult, because it was blowing very
hard. Hawker and Grieves were in
water up to their waists, but their
watertight suits kept them dry"
Rescue Difficult.
Asked whether the crew of the
lifeboat was in serious danger in eff
fecting the rescue, the captain re-
piled:
Il will not say serious danger,
but, as I said, it was a rather diff
cult hours before they succeeded in
reaching the airmen.
"All the airmen wanted to do was
to sleep. They told us that from
the very start they realized every
thing was not quite in order, but
that they had comforted themselves
with the hope that later they would
get the fight effects from their mo-
tor. TIE defect, however, became
more and more apparent and the
speed of the motor stea Oily lessened.
"They were very pleasant fellows
and we were the best Of friends with
them. When they had had their
sleep out and got good meal with
a g!-ss of 'schnapps' they were all
right"

Little to Be Seen Of

Attitude Is Unchanged

Amerongen. May 29.-(By the As

German emperor has been acquaint-
ed with the peace terms he has be-
come even more invisible to the
outer world. The only possibility Of
catching a glimpse of him is when
he crosses the drawbridge twice
daily, going to and returning from
his log saving in the garden of the
castle.
Replying to a request for decla-
ration, the former emperor sent the
following words:
Tell the Associated Press that my
attitude is unchanged"

may be but four or FIVE days, but it
seems like a year. They are fairly
counting the minutes in their eager
ness to get away. and thinking of
nothing but home.
Those who come to ask, therefore,
remain to tell, and they usually find
the holder Of Croix de Guerre or
distinguished service cross far more
interested, in finding out about the
crops in Nebraska than in relating
how he got his decoration.

Germans Continue to Seek
Reduction of Indemnities

Berlin, May 29.-(By the Assoc

official statement the full indemnity
which Germany offers to pay in her
county proposals to the peace terms
will include sums going to Belgium
against advances by the allies and
also the value of all military and
civil property surrendered by Ger
many since the armistice.
1t is further conditioned upon ter
ritorial arrangements. That is, if
the imperial territory is reduced, the
sum to be paid must be correspond
ingly distributed, Alsace-Lorraine
and Posen, for instance, bearing
them proportionate shares.
