Why the Dlctation?

Omaha, Neb., March S.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Since the war in
Europe ended last November l have
been called upon good many times
to draw up affidavits of parties in
terested in the discharge of soldiers
from further service in the United
States army. When making the affi-
davits the statement has been made
to me that the soldiers who want to
be discharged have to submit their
cases to the members of the Red
Cross in Omaha and they decide
whether the soldiers shall be dis
charged or not.
/ would like to know and so
would a good many other people like
to know why people should be COM
PEELED to submit their cases to the
members of the Red Cross and have
to abide by any of their arbitrary
rulings. / have been told of some
very fragrant cases of injustice to-
wards the dependents of soldiers
who are held in the army against
their will and when they are doing
nothing except idle their time away
at camps. when they should be dis
charged and sent home where they
are needed. A good many people
would like to know why they should
be compelled to submit to the die
tations of people who are not in any
way in the army, and by what au-
thority they act in such cases.
The parents and others directly in
terested, should have more say than
members of the Red Cross, who are
trying to force people to submit to
their will and dictation.
We would like for the Red Cross
people to state to the public their
authority in trying to compel people
to submit to them all their requests
for the discharge of friends and rela-
tives from the army. There has
been great deal of dissatisfaction
over the delay in the discharge of
men from the army and it seems
strange that people right in our
midst should be in part to blame for
the delay. 1t seems to me that mem
bers of the Red Cross should help
men get home, rather than place
obstacles in the way of their dis
charge. FRANK A. AGNEW.

Distribution Of Property.

G. f. B.-A man dies leaving
three children by former marriage
also a widow, but no children from
this marriage. What would be the
share of the three children and also
of the widow of a house and lot in
Omaha?
Answer-The widow is entitled to
a one-fourth interest, subject to any
homestead rights she may have. The
remaining three-fourths would be
divided equally among the children.

Judgment.

NJ. E. H.-Seven years ago my
husband bought a home on a con-
tract providing for monthly pay
ments. After we had signed the
contract A. came and said he had
done some plumbing in the house
which amounted to S35 and claimed
lien for it, but agreed to give us
five years in which to pay it, to
which we agreed. After three
months, we moved out returning the
contract to the owner which he ac-
cepted, and he told us not to pay
the $S5 Afterwards the owner died
and A. brought suit against my hus-
band and recovered a Judgment for
the $35, no part of which we have
ever paid, and it has been over five
years ago. Can A. make us any
further trouble?
Answer-You could have probably
protected yourselves at the time the
transaction took place under your
contract of purchase with the
owner but since judgment has been
obtained against you and time for
appeal or in which to obtain a new
trial has past, the judgment is still
good and although now dormant
may be revived within 10 years.

AA-eA'C Win OAJAtDAA VI 4 ulNAAuSNa
l.. L. BIN February, 1917, l
leased a house and lot for one year
with the provision in the lease to
purchase the premises at any time
during the lease for $4,000. In Sep
TENDER, 1917, the lessor died. When
the year was up the lessons ex-
ecutor renewed the old lease for one
year. Ten days before the second
year was up gave the executor no.
tice in writing that I would buy the
premises under the terms of the
lease and rendered him the money.
He refused to accept the money or
to give me a deed to the premises
and has since given me notice to
quit and vacate the premises. Can
compel the executor to deed me
the premises?
Answer-The renewal of your
lease by the executor is a continu-
ance of the old lease and since you
exercised your option to purchase
before the expiration thereof, the
executor should comply with the
contract. He is probably only try
ing to bluff you in giving up pos
session and if he refuses to deed you
the property, court of equity will
compel performance.

G. HI was married in Omaha
in 1916 and lived with my husband
there until September, 1918, when
he left me and went to Colorado.
We have one child and he refuses
to support us or send us money to
go to Colorado. What can 1 do?
Answer-You should consult the
county attorney. The statutes of
Nebraska provides that if husband
without, good cause abandons his
wife or child under 16 years of age
and willfully neglects or refuses to
provide for them, shall upon con-
viction be deemed guilty of deser-
ton and be punished by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary, provided
sentence may be suspended upon
giving bond to provide for such
wife or child or both.

HOW KOREANS HONOR DEAD
Weird Ceremonies Commemorative Of
the Departed One Described by
American Woman Traveller.

A little round-faced nun from the
nunnery up the mountainside above the
monastery was giving a commemora-
tive service for her dead parents. We
went into the temple about eight
O'Clock. 1t was almost dark inside.
The n large standing Buddha was
dimly lit by four tapers set In high
stands. Before him on the altar stood
13 copper plates piled high with diff
ferent kinds of breads and above these
were heaped cakes and fruit between
the artificial flowers. To n side
were the nuns from the nearby nun
merry with shaven heads, and baggy
Waite trousers and long gray robes ex-
actly like the priests. The faces were
indistinct in the dimness. Hour after
hour we sat cross-legged on mats. All
around u was the sound of intoning
"Kwanzean Posal, Kwanzean Posal,
kwanzean Posal, Kwanzean Posal,"
with slow g~enufiections, till the head
tou he'd the floor, slow risings, then
genutiections, endlessly repeated. The
abbot struck on a wooden gong, faster
and faster came the calls to Kwanzean

liturgy grew almost hypnotizing-then
suddenly when / felt that i could bear
1t no longer, the neophytes carried In
numbers of little tables, n for each
priest, lighted a candle on each,
spread out one of the holy books and
retired silently. The candles brought
the faces into sudden relief against
the darkness. At a signal the BONES
opened their books; each chose what
ever passage he wished and began In
toning, each voice at a different key
and rhythm and words, yet all blend
ing together into a twisted strand OF
sound. And over the genufiectins
monks and the funny wrinkled round
faced nuns stood the one dim COLDER
