Lincoln, March l3.-(Special)- )
Battles, even more trying than those
fought on French battlefields are
being fought by American boys al
Fort Sheridan in the great hospital
there which is endeavoring to re.
turn to as near as possible their
former usefulness the boys who par
ticipated in the great worldwide
conflict overseas. .-.-.
This is, the story brought back to
Lincoln by Secretary H. III. Antics
of the public welfare department
of the state, who, under instructions
of Governor McKelvie went to Fort
Sheridan, about Is miles from Chi
cago, last month, and was success
full in finding Nebraska boys lying
in the hospital or convalescing from
sickness and wounds. Three of these
boys were wounded by shrapnel on
the first day of November, just few
days before the armistice was
signed. Some of them fought on
many a terrible battlefield, only to
meet the terrible fate of being
wounded nigh unto death almost
when the war was ended.
Secretary Antics spent week at
the hospital, going from ward to
ward, and bed to bed, seeking out the
Nebraska boys. No attempt has
been made to keep the patients, &C
cording to states, and one has to
hunt studious1y in order TO find
those from the different states.
Stories Cause Heart Throbs.
Some idea can be gathered of the
task when it is known that the hos
pital covers over 20 acres. has bed
capacity of $500, with Is wards,
each filled with beds containing sol
der boys who have suffered for
their country and are patiently wait
ing for the last roll call or longing
for the time to come when they can
leave the hospital and go home.
The present population of The hos
pital is about 1000. There are 2O8
nurses, 1873 aides, 90 doctors and III
assistants.
Secretary Antics was able to dis
cover IS Nebraska boys not listed
in the number sent to Governor
McKelvie and some Of them are in
a very serious condition because of
shell shock or other trouble caused
by their contact with the enemy.
Some of the stories told by Mr..
Antics are very sad.
One boy from Nebraska whose ia
ther was wealthy, tells how his ia
ther tried in every way to keep the
boy from entering the service of his
country. He managed to get his
older son excused by forming, a
marriage, the second son was kept
from going on an agricultural claim,
but the younger boy refused to stay
at home and enlisted. He was
wounded twice slightly, but as soon
as able regained his company and
was on the fighting line again.
On November l he was struck in
the back by shrapnel and has never
recovered. He lies in his bed at
the hospital cheerful and waiting the
time when he hopes he can get away,
The father, who was accused, of be-
ing strongly pro-German, died a
short time ago, but before dying
transferred all his property to his
other two sons and left the soldier
boy who had sacrificed his life per-
haps, for his country, helpless in
valid without cent.
Another boy, Alfred Jacobsen of
Seward, went across % months ago.
Three days after arriving in France
he was. stricken with spinal lnenin-
gifts. Notwithstanding his awful

condition, being paralyzed from his
waist down, he has learned wireless
telegraphy, typewriting, shorthand
and some other things. He is quite
proficient as wireless operator and
says: IF that man at Great Lakes
don't get too funny and send 'em
too fast I can take 20 or p words
a minute"
One big six-footer has been in the
hospital six months and expects to
have to stay two years more. The
big bone in his ankle was shot away
ard they are grating a new bone in.
This will take time and much pa
tience. He is getting around on
two crutches.
No Complaint to Be Heard.
| Another boy from University
Place has one hand off and a graft
ing operation is being had on the
other to save it.
Most of them could get out
quicker if the arm or leg were taken
! off, but there are some wonderful
things being done in surgery and
the boys are willing to wait if they
can only be the better for it and
better able to meet the trials of life
by having their limbs saved, even
though it takes time to do it.
Most of the boys seem cheerful
and are not complaining. They
seem to be eager to learn some kind
of work that will enable them to
make a living when they get out
of the hospital. Opportunity is
given them in the automobile shops
to learn all kinds of work of that
kind and some of them are quite
proficient in painting pictures. Miss
Margaret Chase of Wayne, Neb., is
teaching some of the boys to weave.

| got in touch with every Nebraska
boy there" said Mr.. Antics. Before
leaving we had a banquet at the
Moraihe hotel, and | gave the boys
and girls a fine feed, and let me tell
you they enjoyed it. Only Is boys
and eight girls were able to attend,
the others being too weak to leave
the hospital"
Began to Feel Forsaken.
According to Mr.. Antics, other
states have for some time been look
ing after their boys at Fort Sheri-
dan, and the boys from Nebraska
had begun to think that they were
forgotten, but they have changed
their minds now and it will be up
to the people of Nebraska to see
that they do not question the love
the people "at home" have for them.
A Nebraska club was formed from
the number attending the banquet
and the following officers elected:
President, Ivan Marsh of Hast
ings; first vice president, Nurse
Leona Scott of Battle Creek; sec
ond vice president, Andrew M. Pc
terson of Omaha; secretary-treas-
urer, James r. Miller of Kearney.
The object of the club is to keep
all Nebraskans in touch with each
other, and if the welcoming fund
voted by the last legislature, of
which several thousand dollars re-
mains, can be used, it is the ,pur-
pose to see that the boys at Fort
Sheridan do not want for good
things to eat or entertainment. Few
of the boys have been receiving pa
pers from home and it would be
we'll for those living in the towns
from which these boys come, to
write them nice letters to cheer them
up or send them the home Papers.
Flowers for Soldiers.

WILL DEVELOP BUSH
 MINE IN PORTLAND
 CANAL DISTRICT NOW
Work on Another Hyder Mining Property Will be Pushed More
 Vigorously in Future

That the Bush property up the Salmon will be developed .on a much more ambitious scale during the coming season than has yet been attempted is the good news brought from the South by Percy A. Jenns, former assayer at Forty Nine, who arrived on the Prince John Thursday morning from Vancouver, says the Hyder Miner.
 Mr. Jenns has been outside nearly all winter, going as far South as San Francisco. He says that inter est in this section is unabated and hat there will be Q great influx of people this spring.
 MT. Jenns has been appointed superintendent of the Bush to sue ceed Harry Tanner who recently resigned, and is taking in men to he mine to bring the crew up to the full quota capable of working two shifts in one tunnel. The other two tunnels on the Bush are affected with snow slides and nothing will De done on them until the slides are through running when full crews will be put on each.
 Machinery, consisting in part of power drills, compressor and Kincaid water wheel has been delivered at the Vancouver wharf and should be on the next Grand trunk boat. The Bush is fortunate in having ample water power available, and this will be utilized.
 A cable recently received in Van aouver stated that forty nine per cent interest in the Bush Mines. Ltd. had been sold in London for $600,000, md this was confirmed by o. B. Bush, president of the company, so there is 10 question as to the working cap 'tal

THE MOVIE ROLL OF A SkEtN OF WOOL

A skein of wool usually picks the most inopportune time for falling out of the knitter's lap. An instance of this is shown in Mae Marsh's newest Goldwyn picture, Tine Racing Strain which will be presented at the Palace for the last time tonight. Miss Marsh as Lucille Cameron gives Red Cross lawn fete at hcr Ken lucky estate Wearied by her efforts Lucille goes to a secluded spot in her garden to Seek relaxation in finish ing a sweater for soldier friend. First comes Gregory Haines, one of her suitors. lie is followed by Big Jim De Luce, horseman and stock broker who has long pestered her They seat themselves on either side of Lucille but she goes on with her knitting. The rivals look daggers at each other waiting to see which one of the two receives Lucile's first smiling glance She senses their feel ings and looks at neither, when the skein drops.
 Haines and De Luce plunge for the ball of wool. Both grab 1t with one hand and with the other fight to gain full possession Lucille laughs at the sight of the two men fighting on their knees, but changes when she sees that her wool is torn and soiled She grabs what is left of 1t, rushes into the house, leaving the combatants to, batter each other in a lost cause.
