The Pershing Stadium.
I'VE took great pride in the ap-
pearance and record completion OF
the Stadium. The construction had
been given to French contracting
firm in February; the laborers
struck early in May with little ac-
complished. As the games were to
begin June Goth, and all the invita-
tions had been issued to and &C
cepted by the allies. it was essential
that something be done quickly. Our
boys were sent in and in about three
weeks time had accomplished more
than the contractors had in two
months. General Pershing appre-
ciated the efforts and spirit Of the
men and came and thanked them
personally, not as commander, but
n a man to man talk. When the
pride of the army is at stake the
army moves as one man.
in spare moments we shopped
with the whole American army, as

Cunning Crooks and Notorious Criminals Have No Escape From
Terribly Infalbe Berton System of Finger Print identification
Omaha Linked With All
Principal Cities In
Universal Detecting
Scheme.
By NED E. WILLIAMS.

Several months ago resident OF
| Omaha went out to the garage
in the rear of his house and found
his automobile miss ing. A broken
window showed how the thieves
had gained entrance to the place. lie
notified police headquarters. and
two detectives were assigned tor
| investigation.
In searching the garage for pos
sible clues. enc OF the detectives dis
| covered two broken pieces OF WIN
dow glass with the impressions OF
fingers plainly marked upon them.
| The glass had stuck i'll the window
frame and the thief seized it tlrmly
| with his hand to remove ii.
The bits of broken glass were
taken and turned over to the man
| in charge Of the most interesting de-
partment at police headquarters.
He IS a rapid fire talker with a sandy
mustache. His name is Hans J.
| Nielsen and he superviseS the work
in the local bureau OF identification.
Grunts With Satisfaction.
Mr.. Nelson inspected the pieces
OF glass and grunted with satisfac
ton. Then he sprinkled a black
powder on the marks to bring them
out more clearly, fastened the pieces
together with adhesive tape and
made an enlarged photograph. A few
minutes later, with the aid OF a
magnifying glass. he was engaged
in his complicated process of count
ing ridges, cores and deltas to clas-
sify the finger prints.
As soon as he had converted the
queer whirls OF the print into COM
bination of letters and figures, that
loked more like problem i'll alge-
bra than a code classification, he
delved into his records, where more
than 5000 such algebraic combina-
tions are card indeXed.
Within remarkably short time
notorious police character had
been picked up by detectives upon
Mr.. Nielsen's instructions. The ma
chine was recovered and the thief
was convicted upon the mute. but
infallible te$imony of his finger
prints on the little piece OF glass
that stuck in the window.
Now Hangs on the Wall
The enlarged photograph OF the
glass. which convinced a jury OF
the culprit's guilt, hangs on the wall
in Mr.. Nielsen's office as evidence
of the value OF the system of identi-
hcation in the detection of crime.
Even back in the days when tin
types were the prevailing style of
photographs, Omaha police main
tanned a system of recording data
about their prisoners for the pur-
poses of identification. Such tin
types are still on file in Mr.. Mel
sens bureau, with brief record and
description OF the subject on the
back of each.

This organization came into being
TO provide hospitality in English

no homes to go to when on leave

that in leave times 1t was essential
to provide a "home" environment
for the men to keep up their morale.
They sent the men as nearly as pos

they would feel happiest, and where
a man who had little boy at home
could put another little boy to bed
who reminded him of his own in a
distant country.
AS the organization grew it es-

London, Feb. 14.-Five great Brit

Miss Perrin has recently taken
