P. L. Hall, president of the Central National bank, and a democrat of no small fame. As the banker started to enter the room a sentry on totard sprang in front and barred the way. "1 want to see I'hil Hall," said the banker.

The sentrv saluted. "General Hall is very busy," he said. "Was it some thin special?" Bv God. you tell Phil Hall his fath er is out here and wants to see him." replied the banker with some apparent feeling. The sentry faded to one side and the party entered.

Mild Srnaatlon Waa Sprung Elgk teen Year Ago A a Reenlt of I'hyalual Teat. Eighteen years and one month ago. Nebraska was preparing to send two regiments of her soldiers boys to the front. The First regiment, after days of preparation similar to those at this time, steamed west on three special trains for San Francisco with Manilla as the ultimate destination. The Sec ond regiment left In five trains for Chlckamauga, Fla.

On May 10r-Qovernor Silas Holcomh made public a list of regimental ap pointments as follows: First regiment: John P. Bratt, colo nel; George R. Colton, lieutenant colo- nel; John M. Stotsenburg, major; M. B.

Harding, adjutant; First Lieutenant F. H. Myers, quartermaster; Major Morris A. Hoover, surgeon; Captain M. A.

Roberts, first assistant surgeon; First Lieutenant J. Q. Marron, second assistant surgeon. A mild sensation was sprung in guard circles eighteen years ago aa a result of the rigid physical test. Com pany second regiment, Grand Isl and, balked on being mustered in be cause two lieutenants had been let out on report of the examining board.

This company held out for several days but finally gave in to muster. The city was given an added warlike appearance, when on May 13, troop car-airy from Milford arrived and paraded the down town streets. The First Nebraska regiment sailed from San Francisco for Manilla on June 15. The Nebraska soldiers hurrying to the relief of Admiral Dewey, filled one ship. While the soldiers of the First were on the water, the boys of the Second were growing impatient at their inactivities at.

Chlckamauga. The first tragedy to be visited upon this regiment, was the drowning of Ernest R. Briggs, private in company Second regiment. He waa drowned in Chlckamauga creek on May 30. He was given military burial.

While the two Nebraska regiments were at or nearlng the front, preparations were under way for the enlisting of volunteers under President McKln ley's call for 76,000 additional soldiers from the several states. The Nebraska quota was represented as 1,268. On May 23, occurred the first meeting of the Lincoln company of the new Bryan regiment. H. G.

It i figured at the war department that the situation will call for a heavy border guard and that while functioning in this fashion the militiamen will become acclimated and be ready for real campaigning by fall.

In the meantime the regulars and the fleet will be conducting any offensive that the war department plans make necessary. COLUMBUS BASE CAMP WON'T BE USED DJ WAR COLUMBUS, N. June War talk has again advanced the possibility of the Columbus base camp being abandoned If intervention comes. A general Invasion of Mexico is expected to result in a Quick movement to take over the Mexican railroads. Abandonment of the present long communication afrd supply route south of here will probably be one of the first steps in the campaign.

Quiet was reported along the communication lines early today. Supplies which continue to be rushed to the expeditionary forces went out last night escorted by a mounted guard.

The right wing of the Russian army sweepini through Bukowina has crossed- the (Jalician frontier, capturing the important town of Kut The Austnans evacuated Kuty. ciiy of about ten thousand inhabitants, immediately after the capture of across the river, by a strong Russian detachment. It was toward Kuty that a part of Ceneral I'flanzer's demoralized army (led In Ihe retreat from Czernowitz, hoping to form a junction with the main Austrian army In (ialieia.

More than two-thirds jif the Austrian -crown land of liukowina is now in the" hands of the Russians. All the agricultural sections of the rich province are now behind the Russian lines. The Russians are pushing the pursuit of the Austrlans with all possible speed, hoping to drive the retreating enemy forces through the Carpathian passes before they can organic for an effective stknd. There are indications of greater (ieniwut activity in Ihe extreme north, on General Kutopatkin's front. The Hermans have attempted xeveral limes in the past few days to start offensive movements in this region with Ihe purpose of drawing off Russian troops from Ihe (ialiciatt battle front, but each time the, Herman attack has been broken up.

But now tremendous demand has sprung up among owners of cars of every size, and almost every class. For these motorists also are keen for the longer gas mileage, the power-saving and the freedom from stone-bruise which are assured by Goodyear Cord Tires. And they do not let a slightly higher price stand in the way of getting such advantages and economies. 9 BRITAIN NOW A BIG CAMP MILITARY COMF1 I.S10 ACT 14 1 FOHCK.

Any Man. Walklim the Street Snbjert to Challenice for Exemption Paper, LONDON, June 2. Great Dritain today became a nation of militarism. Air but a negligible quantity of male Britishers between the ages of 18 and 41 today automatically became soldiers for the duration of the war under the military compulsion act. They are the army of reserve and will become trained units as fast as the military authorities can put them through the necessary steps.

It is estimated that upwards of 000 are thus added to the military forces. Between 350,000 and 400,000 are youths under nineteen. The remainder is divided between married and single men who have held back mainly for family or business rea sons. Beginning today every man walking the streets or highways of Great Britain, excluding Ireland, is subject to challenge by a police constable and must produce his certificate of. military exemption forthwith or face the consequeices.

But few are free under the compul sion act. Total exemption is openly granted only to clergymen, exchanged prisoners of war and the medically un fit. From today onward for thirty days, hundreds of tribunals throughout the country will consider the last ap plications for exemption. It baa been previously announced that absolute freedom from military service cannot be granted to those pleading "serious hardship." Hence the tradesmen must leave his shop, the professional man his office, the manufacturer his plant and the husband his home despite business or domestic hardship. The conscientious objector, if his objections are proved genuine to the satisfaction of the tribunal, must serve in a noncombatant capacity.

Even the government employe must prove that his services are indispensable to the nation. British railway stations, especially those of the larger cities, took on a new aspect today. More women and children crowded the platforms than ever before. It was like a Sunday school picnic excep tears and good byes took the place of laughter and joy. The first drafts of the conscript array started toward the training camps.

In the big London railway stations, husbands and fathers, inevi tably loaded with more baggage than army law allows, remained on the platforms until trains were ready to go bidding goodbye to their wives and children. Heartrending scenes were enacted. Trains steamed out and thousands of persons stepped into strange paths in which they will con: tinue to walk until peace brings Great Britain back to normal balance. During the past month, millions of pieces of furniture have been packed in thousands of British homes and put into storage. The government lightened the load of the married conscript in this respect.

Local authorities are empowered by parliament to store the household effects free, pay a reason able charge for the cartage and insur ance. There are more empty houses for rent in England, Scotland and Wales than at any time in history. The married soldier's family, in most cases has not attempted to keep the home fires burning. Wives and children have gone back to the "old folks' or into lodgings. They will make out on the government allowance that goes to every soldier's wife and children.

In exceptional cases the local authori ties are empowered by the government to offer funds the amount to be de cided by the barest needs. Every day for weeks the railway stations and the homes will go through wnat srartea today unless peace puts an end to t. BOOZE AND GAS WON'T MIX Chief Antlea Diacoaar the Fre qaenc-y of Arreat of Motorlat. Joe Coiuforth, -a traveling painter and Jess Whitman, of Bennet, an em pioye or a teiepnone company, were each fined $1 and costs forintoxication in police court Saturday morning, Both admitted being drunk. Comforth was arrested Fridav after noon after he ran his automobile Into a street car at Tenth and streets damaging the car slightly.

Whitman was arrested by the police shortly af ter 4 o'clock Saturday morning while he was driving an automobile zig gag over the streets. A policeman got in the motor car and drove it to the station. Whitman explained that the reason the auto was uncertain in its course was because one of the wheels had a flat tire. Cases where men have been found driving automobiles while under the influence of Intoxicants are becoming more common in police court. The police feel that the time has come to take some sort of drastic measures to stop the combination of a boozy man and a vehicle with the speed of a locomotive endangering the lives of the public.

"Booze and gasoline will not mix" said Chief Antlea in discussing the situation." It is exceedingly dangerous to allow drinking men to handle motor cars and stern measures should be taken to stop the practice." PRICES DELAY BUILDING ONLY FOUNDATION WII.I PLACED THIS YEAR. RE Coat of the Agricultural Engineering; Rolldina Mill Be 140,000. According to present plans only the foundation of the agricultural en gineering building at the state farm will be laid this year. The high price of material, such as steel beams and the like, has deterred the board of re gents from planning on the erection of the entire structure at the present time. Unless there should be a sud den drop in the price of materials the university will wait at least during the winter to put the upper two stories on the building.

While advertisements are now being published for bids on the entire structure the specifications being furnished the contractors pro vide for the delay. In addition to cutting expenses by waiting for lower prices it is also planned to use ordinary brick in the corriodors instead of the white en ameled brick that was originally planned. The brick will be painted white so that the, ordinary spectator will not notice the diffeereno at a little distance away. The cost of the building eventually will be about $140,000. It will occupy one end of tho quadrangle at the state farm and will be visible from Hold rege street looking north.

It is thought that at the present time it would be folly to pay high prices for material and then have the war boom suddenly come to an end. The social science building to be erected on the city campus of the university is like wise being Indefinitely delayed by the war prces of material. HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETS Will Probably Select a Successor the Late C. S. The officers and directors of the state historical society are meeting this afternoon.

The principal bus! nesB, it is expected, will be the selec tion of a successor to the late C. S. Paine, who was first secretary and later superintendent of the society. It was not thought that the board would reach a decision until late in the after noon after talking the matter over, Whatever arrangement is made by the board will be only temporary, the real choice of the secretary lying with the members of the society, who will meet next January There are known to be several per sons who are being favorably consid ered for the temporary appointment. One is Mrs.

C. S. Paine, the widow of the late secretary, who is familiar with the of the society and prominent in historical circles. Albert Watkins, the editor of the society, may also be appointed to have supervision over the activities of the society. Mrs Minnie P.

Knotts, the librarian has also been spoken of. Whatever selec tion is made will probably be from anions those intimately connected with the work of the Nebraska society WILSON WON'T TAKE OUTSIDE MEDIATION WASHINGTON, June 24. Mediation nor arbitration could not be considered in the present case, high officials said today, when shown London wireless reports that Pope Benedict was making offers of mediation to both President Wilson and General Carranza. It was indicated the two governments alone can nowjolve the present problem. Gnodynr No-Hrwilc Cord Tlr a era made fitrvnf.
