alton Of Sl,000,000 by the National
war work council of the Young
Mems Christian association for
40 200 free scholarships for honor
ABLY discharged American soldiers,
sailors or marines. was announced
here today by William Sloane, chair
man.
The scholarships will include TO-
600 in Y. M. c. A., or other ac-
scsedited schools, 10000 in ccrre-
spOndeficc instructions and 200 in
universities, colleges and technical
schools.
The plan is intended to be con-
tiuuation of the "Y" educational
system established with the Ameri-
can Expeditionary forces abroad
and details of the curriculum will be
completed tomorrow by official "Y"
representatives from every state
who will meet in Battle Creek,
Mich, for that purpose.
Americans who served with any
oil the allies, or sons of Americans
who died in the service during the
war, will also be eligible for serta;n
of the scholarships. Applications
it is said will be received starting
tomorrow, at every Y. NJ. c. A., in
the United States.
"In April. 1912 said Mr.. Sloane,
''rhe so-called khaki college organ
ized under General Pershiug's order
bv the American Y. M. G. A., at
the cost of 100000 in France,
Belgium, Germany and Great
Britain. was turned over to the
War department, together with its
entire personnel OF 400 Y. NJ. c. A.
instructors. The speed with which
the troops were dispatched home
and denobilized cut short the serv-
ice planned.
4The army's and the navy's re-
sponsibility for the education of the
service man ceased upon the return
to. civil life. Occupational readjust
ment, together with the high cost of
living, has made additional training
air the more necessary for ex-serv-
ice men.
The unrest of the present day and
the spreading of exaggerated radi-
calism, known as bolshevism, also
demands wider acquaintance with
principles of economics, history and
current events. For these reasons,
the war work council of the Y. M. c.
A., has declined to continue its free
educational service"
Seventy per cent of the 4,SOO,O00,
who served in the American army
and navy came from rural COM
munities, according to "Y" stats
ticians. For these men, most of
whom have now returned home the
$4,000 correspondence courses will
be offered. The school equipment
in more than 1000 "Y's" through
out the country and valued at $l07,-
$50. will be utilized.

"A rumor came to us that Carlisle

Carlisle had been there Thursday
and had had a good Thanksgiving,

took no pains to conceal his identity

snow by night, so we rested at
Bray's.

Chief Agent Charles Irwin of the
Union Pacific railroad, who was a
member of the posse that wounded
and captured William L. Carlisle,
famous bandit, arrived in Omaha
yesterday from Chicago, where he
has been for several days. He left
for Cheyenne late yesterday after
noon.
His tale of the chase and capture
of Carlisle is one of hardships and
peril The final capture of the
"gamest of all outlaws" was as
dramatic as the announcement of an
o. Henry short story.
Il set out from Cheyenne with
Special Agent John Gale of the
Omaha division, November 10, the
day Carlisle pulled off the holdup,"
began Mr.. Irwin. 1--WE rushed to
the scene of the robbery on a spe-
cial train and started a systematic
search OF the Laramie Peak country.
Knew the MOUNTAINS.
1--WE had bunch all the time that
Carlisle was in the vicinity of the
Laramie Peak country. He knew
the mountains we'll and had loyal
friends who would stow him away.
This made the search all the more
difficult for US, because these con-
federates conspired with the bandit
to aid him in covering up his tracks.
"The rumors that came to us
through the press did not fool US
in the least, but we had to run them
down. Carlisle could not have es-
capped from Wyoming without run
ming into some Union Pacific Off
cial and he knew better than to try
to get away by any of the we'll
travelled roads.
"We cautioned Sheriff Roach of
Wheatland that Carlisle was in his
territory somewhere in the vicinity
of Laramie peak. On Saturday he
telegraphed US that our man was
hiding near the peak.

land, after first making preliminary
arrangements absolutely to prevent
Carlisle's escape at other points.
"At Dyer began the most arduous
stretch of our pursuit. We had to
take shifts to catch enough sleep
to enable us to stand on our feet.
The weather was below zero most
of the time and the nights were ter
rible. Snow fell almost continually
and made tracking difficult.

ing our arms and ammunition and

Charlotte's parents first learned of
their daughters talent when friends
in Nebraska City told of the child s
manner of dancing towards and
from school. They remarked her
tripping along the sidewalks not as
other youngsters do, from pure ebu-

toes as if she were schooling herself

Brant says. "IIl bet / bought that

toe dancer.

he makes up his mind about some

then Charlotte has spent hours each
day .perfecting herself in her art.
She has seen each noted dancer
coming to Omaha perform and has
tried to emulate their best parts.
She has herself performed at xhe
Orpheum and at private entertain
ments frequently.
Two weeks ago Saturday she
spent the weekend the guest of
Governor and Mrs. McKelvie upon
the latter's invitation to come down
and meet Bessie Love, noted screen
star, who was visiting the COVER
l.or's wife. Charlotte performed for
Mrs. McKelvie's guests at house
party and they were all delighted
with her art. Miss Love fell in love
Immediately with the youngster and
made much of her during her stay
in Lincoln. Miss Alice Howell, d.
rector of the department of elocu-
ton and dramatic art of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, was present to
pass her judgment on Charlotte and
her work, for the child is a perfect
elocutionist as we'll as dancer, and
gave several dramatic selections
along with her other offerings.
Pleases Bessie Love.
Miss Love was so impressed with
the work of Charlotte she sent this
letter to Omaha:
II have been wanting to write yon
and tell you how much | enjoyed
Charlotte's work. She is certainly
talented and, | know, has a wonder
full future. I shan't forget her little
"Old Fashioned number in a long
time"
Mrs. McKe1vie's letter to Mr.. and
Mrs. Brant follows:

thanks to those | extended during
your weekend in Lincoln for the de-
lightful program dainty Miss Char
lotte gave us. RI
"As I have told you, | think her
one of the most talented children |

keep in condition as to health; and
strength Tbelieve she has a wonder
full future ahead.
"You can count on my continued
interest in her programs and, if it is
any benefit, my cooperation in any
way.
Versatile and Unspoiled.
"My guests were so delighted with
her work. They are still talking
about it. She is SO versatile and so
unspoiled. That is one Of the things
that is so very important. She must
be kept unspoiled.
II am predicting a great future
for this little girl and shall watch
her career with great interest. Both
Mr.. McKelvie and / were delighted
with her program and he joins me
in extending our thanks and very
good wishes for the brilliant future
she so richly deserves"
Mrs. McKelvie says truth when
she asserts that Charlotte is .un.
spoiled. She's as big a kid as one
would look for in child OF her
age.

and the former spied the scribe.

promised on something lighter, but
there had to be good sized piece
