 AMERICAN ORDER
ISuper-Friendliness Now the Attitude of Germans To-
 ward All Americans
gy Associated Press

Berlin, March 1S.-Belated announce ment of Americas action last December in abolishing restrictions upon move mentst of enemy aliens in the United States is published prominently in the morning papers. The delay is understood to be due to the fact that the German government has only just been informed of the action.
 While the news according to a semi official announcement, now is published to reaSsure relatives and friends of Ger man people that the United States is treating the conquered enemy as fairly and considerat tely as possible. It also is likely to increase the realization even among classes of which Count Reventlow is an exponent that Germany must rely upon the services of America as an ad- vocate to obtain what she considers just and reasonable terms of peace and event. ual restoration to a place in the family of nations.
 Germans of all classes constantly com ment upon the courteous and considerate behavior of officers and soldiers of the American army of occupation. Writing personal letters and communications from the American zone of occupation. they never fail to emphasize this. Though dis appointed at the delay in sending food and the amount of it eventually granted, the American soldier or civilian in Ger many everywhere is received as an hon. ored guest. The hatred and abuse which was vented upon Americans before Americas entry into the war has been replaced by an almost officious, super friendliness.
 The correspondent of the Tageblatt, who has just visited CobienZ and the Amer ican zone, comments on the rigorous discipline" imposed upon American of ficers and soldiers to obviate the possi- bility of annoyance to women and to the civil population and upon absence Of chauvinism, theatrical displays of tri' umph or unnecessary interference with the German civil authorities.
 The correspondents chief criticism of the Americans is based upon the strict ness with which orders are enforced against the exchange of gifts, food or c- garettes between Americans and Ger mans. He says that 23 of the 66 sentences imposed upon Germans by the American court in Coblenz in January were for "unauthorized possession of American property arising from the enforcement of this order. He tells of the case of one American officer who was cashiered merely for putting his arm around waitress in a cafe.'

HEARS LAST WORDS

London, 1a-ch 27.-"I expected my sen- tence, but I am glad to die for my coun- try. In the sight of eternity I know now it is not enough to love only your own country. You must love all, and not hate any"

Eligible Omaha Bachelors

Here, ladies', is Jerry Howard, the
real, genuine, blown-in-the- bottle,
stamped-on-the-fabric friends of the
working women.
And Jerry is bachelor.
I'm the fri'nd of the down
throdden, oppressed and pairsecuted
laboring classes" says Jerry, in that
rich, County Limerick dialect of his.
Jerry is a statesman. Four terms
he has had in the state legislature
and last spring he came within an
ace of being elected city commits
sioner of Omaha.
He has fine disposition except
when he gets to talking about his
coorpor-r-rations or the employers
who pay their women janitresses and
clerks Starvation wages" He Sc
cured the passage of the first mini
mum wage bill in the United States
and it was upheld, as he says, by

Likes to Make Speeches.
Jerry is never so happy as when
he is making speech and he makes
a mighty good one in his own pic
turesque style. The sigh. of his
honest, earnest Hibcrnian counte-
nance is enough to draw a crowd
to any corner and his natural ora
torical ability soon puts enthusiasm
into the crowd.
He means what he says, too.
He's real Irishman. He tried to
free Ireland before he came to Amer
lea. During the land league troubles
in 1881 he went to jail for the cause
of Ireland. That didn't cure him of
being "ag'in TIL gover'mint." When
he got out of Jail he fought for free
Ireland until it was necessary for
him to leave the old sod.
Here's His Ancestry.
Here is what he says regarding
his proud ancestry:

A dentist is--but, no! We shall
say nothing. We have just finished
paying a bill to one. We Shall not
forget, however, that this article
may be read by ladies. We shall
give no voice here to our opinion
of what dentist is.
In the days of long ago it is said
the world was happy. There were
no dentists then.
Today their number is legion.
And they are protected by even
more stringent laws than the migra-
tory birds. There is no open sea-
son for dentists.
What Are Historians to Us?
1t is our opinion that dentists
sprang into existence contempor-
arily with the Spanish inquisition,
though in this theory we are not
supported by historians. But what
care we for historians? A fig for
the historians!
II is our theory that the dentists
are the descendants sof the en-
ployes of the inquisition who
operated the hot griddle, the thumb
screws, the rack and other clever
inventions of the middle ages.
What else could have given rise
to the appalling epidemic of dentists
which is sweeping the world?
There are scores of dentists right
here in Omaha. There are dem

dentistry there is no such word as
