pERSH|NC LAUDS
PATRIOTISM OF
OMAHA At c. OF c.
Praises Work Of Nebraska
Women During War at
Luncheon Given In His
Honor.

Omaha has more patriotism per
square inch than any other city I
have visited" said General Pershing
in his talk at the luncheon in his
honor at the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday noon.
1T is pleasure to me to meet
the representative men and women
of Omaha in this historic place,
where so many notables were enter
tanned during the war and where
your great war work conferences
were held
About 500 persons occupied
places at tables in the large dining
hall for the luncheon. Fully 200
more stood in the doorways and
around the edge of the room. Cen
eral Pershing occupied the place Of
honor at the largest table. President
John w. Gamble OF the Chamber
OF Commerce sat at the generals
right, and Mayor Smith at his left.
Son Faces Father.
Forty places were arranged at the
generals table. His staff of officers,
member, of the reception COM
mittee, the notables from Wash
ington, who were here to attend the
aerial mail service Inauguration and
prominent members of the Cham
Der OF Commerce occupied the seats.
Warren Pcrshing, the young son of
the general, sat at the table in 4
chair across from his father.
General Pershing's sisters, Miss
Mae Pershing and Mrs. d. M. But
Ter; Mrs. S. R. McKelvie, wife OF the
governor; Miss Helen Hall Of Lin
coin, Mrs. Ed P. Smith, Mrs.
Francis Brogan, Mrs. H. H. Bald
rige and Mrs. J. w. S. Wuest, wife
of the Fort Omaha commandant,
sat at small table.
During his talk General Pershing
said that he had one great fault to
find with the arrangements which
had been made for his entertainment
here. He said he objected to being
isolated at one table with men for
whom ne cared very little or not at
alr' while Omaha beauties were
seated beyond reach"
Women Deserve Praise.
The work of the women Of
Omaha and Nebraska Is deserving
Of the highest praise" said the gen.
eral. "They found occupation wher-
ever the tender care Of women was
needed. This state was we'll repre-
sented abroad, where the women
brought to us q touch of the Ameri-
can home. We can never forget the
encouragement that this attitude and
these acts of kindness gave to US.
After all it is to the women, our
mothers, wives and sisters, that we
men must pay Our tribute"
General Pershing discussed the
problem concerning the radicals or
reds" in his talk
Is Cheered Two Minutes.
"There is = tendency among GER
tain classes of alien residents to at
tempt to alter the form of govern
lncnt by force" he said. "a steady
ing power against this spirit of un-
rest and such inclinations is going
to be the men who were tried on the
battlefelds of France, associated with
The patriotic men and women who
backed them during the war.
"Thcy must be taught that this is
government of individuals and not
Of groups of aliens. l am optimistic
Enough to believe that the great
common sense and patriotism OF the
American people will solve this
problem to the satisfaction Of pos.
terity."
An ovation of nearly two minutes
was given General Pershing when
he arose to speak. Cheers and ap-
plause filled the hall with echoes.

rious downtown department stores,
giving alleged worthless checks in
payment.
Both girls were turned over to
juvenile authorities yesterday on or,
der of Police Judge Fitzgerald in
Central police court.
The girls were arrested in room
at the Neville hotel, Sixteenth and
Dodge streets, where they were
trailed after having passed two al
legged worthless checks for $40 at
the Fashion store, Ill South Six
teenth street. The girls confessed
yesterday to having rendered worth
less checks at the Brandeis store
Burgess-Nash and Benson-Thorne
stores in payment for silk lingerie.
The girls told Detectives Lahey
and Hughcy, who arrested them,
that they intended to be married to

Refuse Soldiers Names.
They refused to divulge the names
of their intended husbands.
I'VE can't get them in bad" one
of them said.
The Bendon girl said she is known
also as Marion Foster. Detectives
learned that the Young girl has
been using the name of Agnes Shell

of the checks, police say.
The girls are charged with forg-
cry.

pulling his grizzled hair and pound

wife appeared to count it a distinct
privilege to sit and rock my small
son until he went to sleep.
II know it's against all the rules,
she said one day, but if you could
know what this means to me, Mar

Her face as she bent over the
sleeping child was TRANSPORTED with
love and something else, longing
which l think no one else had ever
seen In Harriet Braithwaite's face.
All at once the vague haunting look
in her face at least was translated
for me. She had sacrificed all
thought of motherhood in order to
make an absolute certainty of the
brilliant career of her husband.
Had it been worth while?

Very Likely President VIII Be Unable
to Make Speeches in National
Campaign.

Washington.-The hopes OF man
ayers of the democratic national cam
paign that President Wilson would
make some speeches in behalf of Cox
and Roosevelt have disappeared. A
veto on the proposal has been given
by those close to the president.
In this connection 1t became known
that the presidents physical condition
was not as satisfactory as 1t had been
recently. when his Improvement be-
came so pronounced that his asso-
ciates and friends felt justified in
letting the country know that the dan
ger point in his long illness had vir
tually been passed.
The president, however, has not SUI
fered any serious setback. He is able
to preside at cabinet meetings and to
take motor rides frequently. He has
seen many visitors lately and nothing
is known to indicate that he will
abandon the official activity which ne
resumed when his condition appeared
to justify It.
At the same time 1t Is gathered
the presidents gradual improvement
has been somewhat retarded, and any
undue excitement, such as his appear
ance on the stump, might and prob
ably would have serious results.
