Our Commercial Arteries.

Every citizen of the United States and Canada who stops to think for a moment must realize that North American commerce is congesting within the present limitations of transportation and is straining to the breaking point it's present traffic ar teries.
 In twenty years the haulage of freight by railroads in the United States has increased from 1863 tons per mile for every person in the Ma tion to approximately 4,000 tons more than 100 per cent. of increase. Railway and terminal facilities have by no means increased in proportion. Hence, the desperate condition pre- vailing today.
 Much less than half of one years railway need will put the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence route in perman- ent shape to take off a large per ,entage of the congestion and strain md to produce more than 2,000, ,000 horse power of electric energy.

In The Theatres

POLES.
 The vaudeville bill which started at Polls yesterday and continues until Wednesday night contains great variety of entertainment. Plenty or song and dance with a good comeov sketch and roller skating novelty makes up a very good bill. The fea- ture act is sherman and Rose In Unique and Variety Dancing. 'Th1s dancing team offers something un- usual in the dancing field, the staging and costumes being all that could be expected of an act showing the ex- ce1lence which was displayed at the opening performances. The Mann Trio and Adams and Brown divided the honors in the singing of up to the minute songs. Both acts went over in good shape. Indoor Sports, com edy sketch which occupies the mid de spot on the bill, contains a great deal of original comedy and is very well acted throughout. The Sterlings, roller skating novelty, opened the show.
 Children of Destiny" which start ed Sunday night, contains many tense and exciting moments. A Mack Sen- nett comedy, "Hoodooed," and the Pathe News are additional features of the photoplay program.

ARABS TO RESIST
 FRENCH ADVANCE

London, July 2o-Persons arriving a. Cairo from Damascus emphasize the determination of the Arabs to re- sist a French advance as outlined in the French ultimatum to King F'eisal of Syria, says a London Times de- spatch from Cairo. The tribes are reported to be focking to the sup port of F'eisal and enthusiasm h Damascus is high.
 King Feisa1 is understood to he opposed to warfare but presumably he is unable to control the people who have become wrought up over the ultimatum delivered by General Gouraud, the French commander.
 The regular Syrian forces are esti- mated to number from 10000 to 10000 and are under officers who were trained in Europe and have war experience.

Ken Sciple Will Not
Take Part in Peoria
Bowling Tournament

Scott Tents will compete in the
American Bowling Congress in
Peoria next week without the as
sistance of Ken Sciple, a mainstay
of the Scott five and recognized as
one of the top-notch Omaha pin
tumblers.
Sciple's business will keep him
from taking part in the A. B. c., he
announced yesterday. ,
He-will attend the state tourna-
ment in Fremont this week, how
ever, as a member of the Scott
team.
Wally /. Schoenman, the only
Omahan who ever won an event in
the Midwest Bowling tournament,
will probably take Sciple's place.
Schoenman is not lined up with any
team this season. Schoenman cap
tured the Midwest all-events in 1915
and his team won the fve-men
contest.
Sciple holds the distinction of roll
ing up the highest three-game score
ever made in Omaha and, according
to Bill Learn, the highest score ever
made. Three years ago Sciple rolled
two 800 games in succession and
followed them with 270 to show
it wasn't merely luck The games
were bowled on No. 7 at Farnam

ED SMITH WILL
REFEREE WILDE
MASON BOUT
British Champion Refuses to
Fight With Ollie Pecord
as Third Man In
Ring.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
! Toledo. Ohio, March 9.-Ed
Smith, a sporting editor OF a Chi
cago paper, will referee the Jimmy
Wilde-Frankie Mason l2-round bout
for the hyweight championship OF
the world here Friday evening.
Alter more than an hour in con-
ference with Dave Hughes, manager
Z, for Wilde and the Welshman HIM
self, the Toledo boxing commission
me-to the conclusion that Wilde
will not alter his opinion,' which is
in opposition to Ollie Pecord, To-
ledc as referee and virtually gave in
on the question Of an arbiter.
Don't Want Record.
Hughes and Wilde were given un-
til Thursday to make their final de-
cision. 1t is certain, however, the
Welshman will hold out against
Pecord and IN that event Smith will
officiate.
Wilde's objections to Pecord are.
based largely on that officials work
at the Wiilard-Dempsey affair last
July 4. He told Ad Thacher, who is
promoting the bout, that he wouldn't
fight for Pecord. and the referee
question was left Spen until today.
Z Pecord more than month ago
when he heard of Wilde's objections,
gracefully withdraw from any con-
sideration but the commission held
out that lie should officiate if it was
possible to induce Wilde to go on
with him in the ring.
Wilde's workout Monday after
noon with half dozen heavy spar
ring partners made a lot Of friends
for the Briton. He showed some
neat speed and disclosed that he is
past master at the ring game. The
house is sold out for the bout, $500
seats having been disposed Of.
