THURSDAY, APRII. 1913 LINCOLN EVENING JOURNAL. THREE Hayensa heads Vo i i 1 inmates throw Lincoln Social (m Service dub Benjamin Havenga was elected president of Lincoln Social Service club at its annual meeting Thursday. He is executive secretary of Social Welfare society. Elected at the same time were Rev.

Paul Becker of Lincoln Ministerial association and Chief of Police Joe Carroll, vice presidents; Harry McClellan of the state welfare department, secretary; I. J. Montgomery of the state merit system council, treasurer; Mrs. Helen Riley of the county welfare bureau, chapter representative in the state association; Winfield Elmen, attorney, and Rev. Dean Leland, members at large of the executive committee.

Agnes Donaldson, faculty member of the university graduate school of social work, and Leroy Hultberg, county relief director, hold over as members at large. Four members of the club reported on various phases of the regional meeting of the national conference of social work, held earlier this month at St. Louis. Mrs. Bernice Katskee summarized the address by Evelyn Burns on the work of the nationl resources planning board.

Mrs. Vannie Black's report dealt with day nurseries, volunteer services and administration. Mrs. Margaret LOS ANGELES. (UP).

Stumbling Referring to the latter Mr.

Griswold said, course, you know that after such an unorthodox performance. it has since been deemed best in certain quarters to remodel the organization and remove the admin istrative authority from these silly, giddy, stumbling states and put it back where it really would have been in the first place had there been time." Turning back to his suggestion for a balance of power the governor stated, permitting federal authority to play the role of both director and administrator, we have allowed the assemblage of millions of workers who by vir- ture of their employment find themselves approving of the particular way their agency is functioning. I do not mean that every present federal employe is a democrat and will vote democratic simply to keep his job. What I do mean is that the great majority of federal workers, be they democratic or republicans, or socialists, or nothing at all, do feel that the they are doing is worthwhile. And it is only human, too, for this huge bloc of people to oppose at the polls any proposal, or any candidate, they believe will curtail or abandon the particular agency for which they work.

elections in this na- assume more and more responsibility and not expect to revise the definition of liberty," And it is just as absurd to accept a doctrine which declares that we must give up our individual liberties one by one, to clear the path for national progress. Can Find Middle Ground, he said, can find the middle ground. Surely, we have the duty to ourselves, our forebears and to generation to find the point of balance. I firmly believe that when our government finds it necessary to begin tinkering with the kind of work its citizens are to of the tinkerings, for example, that apparently will be necessary immediately after this I say we will be operating very close to the juglar vein of American liberty. If the day ever comes in this nation when a mother cannot honestly tell her boy that he has a right to become president, or the right to become a ball player, or any of the other vocations we know, the real democracy of this nation will be a corpse.

Heavy Nazi Losses. The Germans, whose key de fenses on the front from Medjez to Pont du Fahs in the south were threatened with collapse, suffered heavy casualties in their first counter attack which was re pulsed. An hour later, however, they made a second attack and this time their infantry and tanks succeeded in forcing the British back down the slopes. Again the axis suffered severe casualties.

On the Pont du Fahs sector, where the French had advanced close to that important junction and threatened the German flank on the whole squthern front, allied troops made only local gains or engaged in active patrolling. Yanks in Fierce Fight. Only local gains were reported from the northern front, too, but in that area the American 2nd corps continued to punish the enemy in hard fighting around Jeffna on the road to Mateur and Bizerte. About 12,000 to 15,000 German troops are in carefully prepared hill positions on the teur sector and the allied forces are making slow progress. Allied air force continued to strike hard at the enemy, but weather conditions were unfavorable.

Dispatches from the front emphasized the powerful effect of American bombardment both by planes and by enemy mountain positions. It was estimated American big guns, rnclud ing 155 millimeters, fired 10 times for every reply from the German lines. 2 Frnnonl permitted to spend £6,700 on airport The state aeronautics commission Thursday granted Fremont I permission to spend $0,700 for 1,1 Lilul U1U grading and improvement of airport.

Guards (Continued from Page 1.) the president was to be in Omaha, telephone calls that guards were stationed all along the track and dead ends at every source. A group of MP's were standing on the Burlington platform and a man strode over to them. "What are all the guards doing at the crossings?" he asked. The reply was quick and the man walked away with a silly grin. If the military police, the city police, railroad authorities or anyone else knew about the president's arrival, the information was certainly not given out.

People Unaware. People in the Burlington station were apparently unaware of any unusual activity outside. A small boy walked up to two persons on the platform and said "do you know where that 10:30 train is, that is 10 minutes late?" The Advance Flier did arrive at 10:30, was quickly emptied and the train moved. But a few persons waiting in the station were not interested in the flior.

Guards Off Duty.

At any rate, several guards were in an all-night coffee shop about 12:30 a. faces flushed from wind, and backs stiff from long standing. Well, if the president was coming, he had certainly arrived or maybe the guards had just been relieved. Stories about the guards were rampant. One police cruiser was stopped at a crossing.

Cosgrove, Thursday, at a noon luncheon of the Knife and Fork club, at the Y. W. C. at which 35 Spanish- Amenean veterans were guests. Judge Cosgrove gave a brief history of the causes and results of the wars of this country.

He served in the Spaniah-Ameriean and World wars. He explained the contest between two schools of thought; one where the state controls the individual and the other where individuals control the state government, but, he said, a democracy is the political system in which government is directly exer- or controlled by the people collectively. ----Omaha airport soon ready again OMAHA.
