BUSY NAMING COMMITTEES Wharton Says it Should Be Located at Fifteenth and Howard Streets. OMAHA NO LONGER ‘TANK TOWN' Seven of the eleven organizations | appealed to on the union depot agl- | tation by the Associated Retallers of Omaha have already either taken definite stepe, appointing a commit- tee to work with the retailers, or | have written the retallers that they | will do so at the first meeting. } Those fhat have already replied to | the letter are the Commercial club, | Clearing House association, Retall | Grovers, Builders’ BExchange, Omaha Ad club, South Omaha Live Stock Exchange, Omaha Auto club. i Much Street Comment. Here are a few more comments on the street John C. Wharton, Postmaster—Omaha | is no way-station in any sense of the | word except in type and sise of its pas-| senger stations. Omaha has attained such prominence in the commereial woiid | an to be entitled to a union station cor- | mensurate with its progress and develop- ment. Washington, Chicago, Kansas | City and many other municipalities have stations that cost many milllons, while Omaha's raflway stations are little, in-| adequate affairs that cost a few thou- ) sands. The raliroads cannot much ionger deny this city the terminal facilities to | which its importance entitle it. The new | staton, in my opinion, should be located in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and Howard streets. That is central and con- venlent to everything. Pancoast Says Time i Ripe. A. C. Pancoast, Attorney—The agitation for a new union station is a good thing for The Bee to keep up. We cannot boost too much for this, Omaha is just where it is coming to its own rapidly. | With the progress we have now made in | the matter of hotel facilities, so long | much needed in Omaha, the time is ripe | to turn our attention to a new union | ddpot, a grand central union station, to compare favorably with those of 8t. Louls, Kansas City, Chicago and cities of | that type, for eventually that is our class, l J. H.

I Nebraska | By W. H. BUSS, Fremont. Winning poem for $100 prize offered by John D. Haskell of Wake- field, Neb. Now laud the proud tree planter state, Nebraska, free, enlightened, great; Her royal place she has in song: The nobles rains to her belong: Her fame is sure, Then sing Nebraska through the years; Extol her stalwart ploneers; The days when, staunch and unafraid, The state's foundation, well they laid, To long endure. The land where Coronado trod, And brave Marquette surveyetl the sod; Where Red Men long in council sat; Where spreads the valley of the Platte Far 'neath the sun, The land, beside whose horders sweep The big Missouri's waters, deep, Whose course erratic, through its sands, From northland on, through many lands, Does seaward run. The foothills of the Rockies lie Afar athwart her western sky: Her rolling prairie, like the sea, Held long in virgin sanctity, Her fertile loam, Hop wild life roamed o'er treeless plains, ‘T{11 came the tolling wagon traluns, And settlers bold, far westward bound, In board Nebraska's valleys found, Thelr chosen home, How o'er her realm and ‘neath her sky, Her golden harvests richly lle; Has corn more vast than Egypt yields; Her grain unmatched in other fields; Her cattle rare: Alfalfa flelds, by winding streams; snd sunsets, thrilling poets’ dreams; These all we sing, and know that time, Has ne’er revealed a fairer clime, Or sweeter alr, O vroud Nebraska, brave and free; Thus sings thy populace to thee. Thy virile strength, thy love of light; Thy civic glory, joined with right, Our hearts elate. Tay menly wisdom, firm to rule: Thy womanhood in church and school; Thy learning, culture, art.and peace, 1’0 make thee strongy and ne'er shall cease To keep thee great! Should this scng be chosen by the judges, these stanzas could be | utilized on occasicns, making them especially appropriate. In the original composition, thess two additional stanzas have place between three and four.

The engineers of the college, who are about 70 of the total of 3,000 students, yésterday had thelr St. Patrick's day celebration an annual festival. They had big festivities on the campus and In the afternoon marched down town behind thele band. They rushed one theater afd them went to the Company C armory, which & man had rented for a two-day week-end production of the film, “Dam- aged Goods.” The guardsmen learned of the intended raid down town and there were three or four guardsmen on hand, with bayoneis fixed, to keep the students out. Deputy Marshal Richard Canady made a speech to the crowd. He made arangements with the manager for a “‘free show, in. In the first scramble to get in the door a couple of students stuck thelr heads into the bayomets and were soratched. Nobody was injured and no- body was angered.

LINCOLN, March 12.—(Special)—A pe- containing over 1,200 names was led with the secretary of state flernocon placing the rame of Ernest M. Pollard in line for the nomination for delegate from the First district to the na- tional republican conyention. Mr. Pollard later went over the list and accepted the filing. and the crowd went quietly | this near Nancy, bought a villa in Belglum and congratulated himeelf that his tamily would be far outside the vortex. ‘While the stout fortress of Namur was orwmbling under the blows of the heavy German guns, unfortiftied Nancy, fended by Castlenau, proved impregnable. The French officer's fumily fled to France with Belgian refugees at the saime time that Emperor Willlam, who, with 10,000 cavalry of the guard had awaited the moment for this triumphal entry into Nancy, turned back toward Metz. As to the purchaser of the offlcer's country place, he has not seen a German snldier and since August 24, 1914, the sound o the cannon has been growing falnter and less frequent in his ears. It is only when the wind is right that Nancy hears it. Only once did the German artillery get close enough under cover of night to bombard the city, and then it did less damage than the dozen visits of German acroplanes and Zeppelins, Nearly every one of those visits was tragic, because everyone wanted to see the aircraft.

The French ad- vanced their heavy artillery to easy range and destroyed the big gun and its founda- tion before it had fired a single shot, ac- cording to report.
