Definite announc ement wa,
made tOdav that plans are now be.
ing made for organizing here a
branch of the Knights of the Ku

Several prominent citizens are
said to be interested in the move

resentative of the Khan will be
in the city in a few days to con-
fer with these citizens and to as

klan, which is but a reorganiza-
ton of the order that swept from
the South the carpet-bagger and
the scalawag in the stirring days
of the Reconstruction period and
restored to the white people of
the South their rightful place in
the nation and the management
of their own affairs, was formed
in Atlanta in November, 1915.
The idea of perpetuating the
principles upon which the OLD

mated in the mind Of Colonel w.

Southern history at Lanier uni

cause and for fourteen years
thought and studied to prepare
for this work.
On October &c, 1915, Colonel |
Simmons met with thirty-four of i
his friends and after unfoldingI

FOR RETURN HOME.
Swedes Are, for the Most Part,
Going Back to Get ReIa-
tives to Come Back
Here.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, March 9.--Now it is the
Seandinavians who arc going back
to the old country by thousands.
The movement until quite recently
has been practically confined to
Poles, Slovaks and former residents
of the Balkan countries. They have
been going back as rapidly as the
steamship companies could provide
accommodations. All of them sare
wealthy, as wealth is counted in the
old country.
Most of them have been drawing
wages ranging from So to $35 day
all during the war period, and they
saved nearly all their earnings, liv-
ing six or eight in room and sub
sisting on the cheapest foods. How
ever, when they made ready to go
back they indulged in fur coats,
patent leather shoes, velour hats,
silk shirts and other marks of afflu-
ence. They will doubtless be ac-
corded a vociferous welcome by the
tax collectors in their ountries, all
or which are staggering under tre-
mendous debt.
The case OF the Scandinavians is
different. They are all coming back,
and their mission abroad is to re-
habilitate their relatives in the old
country and bring back with them
other relatives. Steamship bookings
to June are already filled to the ex-
treme limit. Seventy-hve per cent
Of the Swedes who have booked pas
sage are citizens of the United
States, chiefly skilled mechanics or
tradesmen. with sprinkling of do
mestic help. Unlike the central
Europeans. the Scandinavians are
not putting on any style. They
have plenty of money, but are not
spending it for display, and they
are coming back, augmented by
relatives and friends to get more
money.
