Butler Of Nebraska
To Seek Senate Seat

Hugh Butler Of Omaha, Repub-
lican National Committeeman for
Nebraska, announced today through
the party's national headquarters
here he will be candidate for the
Republican nomination for the Sem
ate in 194O. If nominated he will
run for the seat now occupied by
Senator Burke, Democrat.
Senator Burke has been an out
standing opponent of some New
Deal measures. particularly Presi-
dent Roosevelt's court reorganiza-
ton bill, and more recently he has
pressed for amendments to the
National Labor Relations Act. Sem
ator Burke, Republicans say, will
have tough fight for denomination
in the Democratic primary, al
though he has many friends in the
State.
Mr.. Butler Is a businessman and
civic leader and also operates two
farms in Furnas County, Nebr. He
was president of the Grain and
Federal Dealers National Associa-
ton in 1929 and has been a member
of the Republican National Com
mittee for three years.
Il am confident that the people
of Nebraska have become wearied
with New Deal experiments and
failures" he said during a visit to
Republican National Headquarters.
He added that he believes the poll
cies of the Roosevelt administration
are destroying American agriculture
and livestock farming.

Resolved, that although this as
SOciatiOn favorS an income tax for

CHAPTER XXXVI.
Rellac0urt Strikes.

Oblivious of the death of his first
substantial supporter, oblivious in
deed of everything but the urgency
of his conclusive grapple with Reed
ly, Rud paced the air photography
rooms at Stockholm which were
Bellacourt's headquarters.
Bellacourt was already over Nor
way on his way to them. He couldn't
be more than 10 minutes away.
Thirp sat crouched and angular
with his arms folded. waiting an
hour to the minute, SO to speak;
Olders subdued himself to patience
by staring out of the windows. They
had all come in the smaller. swifte,
machine from Amsterdam. They
had not waited even to learn what
had happened to the bombed ma
chine. The others. they knew. were
scouting southwards towards Ant
werp-except the one that would
wait for Bodisham If Bodisham had
to bolt.
These Soften machines carried no
bombs or guns, but they were to
report any movement of troops to
breed and Steenhold Rud had
refused to hear any reports from
them. He wanted to concentrate
upon Reedly. All the rest was de-
tail and it was becoming his habit
now to leave detail to others. He
paced the lonp room 0f the air
maps, not looking at them. broodin5

planned the urgency Of the situa-
ton to Bellacourt.
Bellacourt led the way to the long
table devoted to the Photographic
examinations. There arranged for
comparison. were the long strips
for yesterday and the day before
that. An assistant stood by with
lenses while Bellacourt explained
the reading Of the photographs
There's his dug-out. Pretty big
and deep. That heap of earth came
out of it. 1t casts quite shadow
you see. That's the shadow, that
black mark. That gives us the
height of the heap. There's the
Officers Mess. There are the
kitchens. You see the tracks made
by the orderlies going to and fro?
Those pale streaks. Pretty work
reading these photographs You see
that shadow there; that's cast bv
the photographers own plane. It's
size and its distortion gives it's
height and the angular measure for
all the other shadows"
"You could bomb all that-this
afternoon?"
Il can blow it to rags-all this
area - before sundoWn tonight
We've got enough stuff for that
But how can We be sure he will be
there-and not somewhere else. or
down in that dug-out? Impossible
to get him if he's in the dug-out."
Hell be there, all right" said
Rud. I'll arrange that with him.
Olders was called away for
moment to take a radio message.
You'll arrange it-with him!"
said Bellacourt, puzzled.
With him-by telephone. Why
note"
Perfectly Simple.
You mean he'll tell you-him-
self! Where to bomb him?"
Perfectly simple" said Rud. I've
been talking to him already-from
Sloten. And when we are clear

who's Wilson," asked Rud. "I
wonder why Steenhold didn't sign
that. He ought to have signed it,"
He wondered only momentarily.
Then he turned his mind to the
business in hand again.
They went to the room with the
radio apparatus and Thirp sat down
to get the World Marshal. When
he did, he handed the instrument
to Rud. Bellacourt sat beside him
with the air photograph of Reedly's
Headquarters on the table.

stunned. And then fraterniza-
ton :"
The End Of the Soldier.
The world marshal spoke in An
glo- German out of compliment to
his distinguished guests and pris-
onerS.
He hated talk when he encoun-
tered the loose, unaccountable
minds of the intelligentsia; you
never knew what they meant by it
all; that brought out all the strong
and silent stuff in him; but when
it came to talking to soldiers and
gentlemen, who used exactly the
same phrases and metaphors, had
identically amorphous ideas, and
could understand him perfectly, he
could be fairly eloquent.
He was now in state of somber
eXaltation. At last it was his day.
He had told himself quite a number
of times that afternoon that he
had crossed the Rubicon. Except
for faint uneasiness about the
possible recalcitrance of that crazy
pacif1st, Bellacourt, there was not
shadow that he could see upon
the road to world dominion that
opened wide before him. He was
grasping control of a disordered
world on the very verge of social
dissolution. He felt like Gen. Monk,
who had been one of his boyhoods S
heroes. He felt still more like Bona
parte after that Whiff of grape shot
had put an end to the revolu-
tionary vagaries of Paris. He, too,
in his turn was saving civilization
and civilization-he would see to it
was going to be jolly grateful to
him.
Just before he rose to speak he
talked about Rud and the Group to
the officers about him.

Businessmen Souqht
As Members

Attempting to create a greater CO.
ordination of interest and effort in
civic and other affairs for the gen.
eral good, the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association has called q
special executive meeting for Thurs
day at No. II precinct, to which
business and professional men and
women have received special invita-
tions.
The Southeast Businessmens' As
sociation nominally functions on
both sides Of the Anacostia River,
but activity is small in the Randle
Highlands and Anacostia sections of
Southeast Washington.
Adelbert w. Lee, president of the
Randle Highlands group and vice
president of the Southeast business
men, said the meeting was called
expressly for the purpose of getting
the businessmen of the Randle
Highlands section into the citizens
association.
If we can get the business and
professional people of our commu-
nifty organized and active in the as
sociation we can help them in their
problems and they can help US"
Mr.. Lee said "Since the Anacostia
River seems to form a natural bar
rier to a coordination of effort
between the men of Southeast, the
least this association can do is at
tempt to function in a business as
we'll as a civic capacity"
1t is expected that a special COM
mittee will be formed at the meet
ing with the object of looking after
the problems of businessmen and
tying together the efforts of the
two groups as one.
1t was made clear that no new
businessmens' association is to be
formed. According to Mr.. Lee. the
function of the special committee
will be to coordinate the efforts Of
citizens and businessmen for the
purpose of gaining greater results.

Christian gentleman, that clean,
honest fighter, their enemy and
brother-in-arms, Marshal Grossberg.
He paused and warmed up: This
has been a great war and q fine
war, but now we realize that these
are issues profounder than any i'm
mediate war aims. The whole social
order, Christianity, chivalry-Chris-
tianity here and chivalry in the Far
East-honor, obedience, property,
the purity of women, the discharge
OF obligations, plain honesty, love of
country, the breed of horses, clean
sport, everything that makes the or
derly succession of seedtime and
harvest, peace and war, is at stake.

OF disciplined force, has been ousted

Bellacourt made rapid calcula-

pencil. Twenty thousand feet" he
said.

"You will be leading. Your men
will have copies of these air maps.
Well, as many as there are copies.

inaudibly, staring with sudden ap-
prehension out of the window.
The World Marshal's voice had
been drowned by a great roar of air
planes, an eruption of huge, ugly,
undulating, hungry sound and he,
too, turned to see the black hulk of
the leading bomber sweeping over
the Mess. 1t did not seem to be
coming out of the sky, it had
SKINNED so low as it opened out
that it seemed now to be rising out
of the ground. 1t rushed up out
from beneath the edge of the glow

ness. 1t was like gigantic black
skate in an aquarium swimming to-
ward him very swiftly. 1t just
cleared the nearer barracks and it
had already risen sharply up out
of the field of his vision, when the
two bombs it had delivered, burst.
Hard upon it roared its fellows,
rising right and left behind it and
blotting out the sky in their turn.
Beyond came others . Everything
seemed to burst as the bombs burst.
The corner of the window flew in
toward the World Marshal. 1t flew
at him, attacking him; a great knife
Of glass >. 1t was coming straight
for his moustache.
That was his last impression of
life. He felt nothing more. The
glass cut through his face like a
knife thrown at meringue.
He was extinguished.
