2—A PANAMA T0 ELECT NEW PRESIDENT Next Sunday Marks End of the Most Bitter Oampaign in Republic’'s History. U. 8. VITALLY INTERESTED Panama, July 1.—Balloting will take place Sunday, July 9, throughout the republic to elect a president to suc- ceed Dr. Belisario Por whose term of four years will %ncxt month. There are two gglindidates representing different factidps 6f the same- party: Dr. Ramon M! Valdes, liberal, and Dr. Rodolfo Chiari, lib- eral-republican. The election will bring to a close one of the most bitter presidential campaigns the republic has witnessed in the thirteen years of its existence. From the very first there have been acrimonious political discussions in the partisan papers and charges and countercharges of corruption have been frequent in both ncwsr:perl and main fly sheets that are always part of a presidential campaign in Panama. United States Vitally Interested. During the campaign the American minister, William J. Price, has closely watched thé course of events and there have been numerous conferences between the leaders of the two fac- tions. The United States is vitally interested because it guarantees the independence and peace of the little republic. These conferences have con- cerned themselves also with the ques- tion of election supervision. The fol- lowers of Chiari favor supervision and say that non-supervision will mean the fracture of the public peace on election day through disorders and possible revolutions in all parts of the republic Dr. Valdes' supporters declare there is no danger of trouble and that if there should be it can e be con- trolled by the national police. Dr. Valdes and his friends are bitterly opposed to rvision. The United States has manifested no disposition to supervise, feeling it to be an un- warranted interference in the internal al f the country, The military authorities of the canal zone, however, are expected to be instructed to pre- vent any threatened trouble. No Great Issue Involved. No great political principle has been involved in the campaign. It has been largely fought on the issue of ex- travagance which the ari faction to the administration of Dr. who is said to be behind the cy of Dr. Valdes. It is charged that to fir. Por administration is due the present financial condition of the republic, which for the first time in its history finds itself sad- dled with a national debt of approxi- mately $4,000,000. Dr. Valdes is the representative of the present so-called liberal “is locally regarded as the of didate of Dr. Porras. Dr. Chi; also claims to be the candidate of the real liberal rarty and whos p- porters are locally called the Chiaris- tas, is the candidate of the former friends of Dr. Porras, whom the latter is declared to have antagonized through his llleged high-handed methods of 1914 during the election of deputies to the national assembly.

This time last year the weather was so cool that many had fires to keep warm. An eastern man at the Fontenelle hotel remarked: “I have been visit- ing Omaha for many years and I am frank to state that during the last few years this city has taken on quite a classy appearance in the matter of dress. I don't want to infer that Omaha has not been classy for a long time, but there are signs of general prosperity, On the street one notices many well-dressed men and women, wearing garments and hats to suit the season. Particularlv are the wom- en of Omaha well dressed. I have oc- casion to observe these things, be- cause it is in my line of business.

Funston Withholds Comment. San Antonio, Tex., July 1.—General Funston reserved comment today on the charges of bad faith made against him by Carranza's minister of foreign affairs and then concentrated his at- tention on the silent marshaling of his growing army along the border line.

A number of prisoners and | some material remained in our hands. “The attacks were preceded by in- tense fire, gas attacks and mine ex- plosions. “Early this morning activity ap- preciably increased: on both sides ofi the Somme. “Northeast of Rheims and north of .Le Mesnil minor operations of the enemy infantry failed. “Local infantry engagements 'oc- curred west' of the Meuse. On the eastern bank the French attempted | to recapture position on Froide Terre ridge and in the Thiaumont works. They brought up strong masses of troops in an endeavor to take these positions by storm. On the basis of an unimportant success at the be- ginning the French announced in ad- vance last night the recapture of the Thiaumont works. In reality the attack of the French failed every- where with the most severe losses. ; The men who penetrated our lines at various points were captured. Only prisoners set foot in the original ar- mored works. “German patrols were engaged in successful encounters north of Parroy wood and west of Menones. “In the towns of Doul, Bapaume,! Peronne and Nesle, numerous French inhabitants were killed or wounded by French and British gun fire and air- craft bombs. “Eastern front: Army group of General von Linsingen, west of Kol- ki, southwest of Sokul and near Wic- zyny, Russian positions have been captured. West and southwest of Lutsk the fighting continues in our favor, “The Russians yesterday lost in prisoners fifteen officers and 1,365 men and since June 16 they have lost twen- ty-six officers and 3,165 men. “Army group of General Count von Bothmer: The enemy made futile cav- | alry attacks southwest of Thumacz, for which it paid very heavily.” Will Come to Omaha Frank Roach of the Union Pacific advertising department has returned from Columbus, O., where he went to see the government's exhibit now being run over the Baltimore & Ohio road for the purpose of impressing upon employes the necessity of always keeping the “safety first” idea in mind. It is a wonderful exhibit, according to Mr. Roach, and during August it will be on the Union Pa- cific system ten days, or two weeks. Concerning the ex{ibit, Mr. Roach said: “The government's exhibit com- pletely fills ten csrs and is accom- panied by a battery of thirty to thirty- five lecturers, all experts and from the departments of the government. :I‘hc exhibits are arranged in the cars in such a manner that they may be viewed as people pass through. Sta- tioned in each car are the lecturers, explaining the exhibits as the people pass along. It is of great interest, not only to railroad employes, but to the public, as well.” British Take Line 0f German Trenches . London, July 2—The British troops in their great drive in France have captured a German labaryth of trenches on a front of seven miles to a depth of 1,000 yards and the villages of Montauban and Mametz. . North of the Ancre valley, accord- ing to the official statement, the Brit- ish have not been able to hold sec- tions of the ground gained in their first attacks. Two thousand German prisoners have been taken. British Blockade of the Baltic Sea Is Complete London, July 1.—British naval men home on leave after a period of par- ticipation in submarine operations in the Baltic speak enthusiastically of the success attending their work, says the Star's Edinhurgfi corrspondent. “We imposed an iron rule in the Baltic,” said one petty officer, “and the Germans are now beginning to feel the full effects of it in a terrible draught upon their larder. The block- ade in the Baltic is now about as thorough as that which the grand fleet has established in the North sea. The whole sea traffic of the German Baltic provinces is in a state of disorganization. s JULY To Find Places for Soldiers After the Close of the War (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press., Sydney, Australia, June 21.—Sir Rider Haggard, the English novelist and land settlement expert who is on a tour of British oversea dominions to investigate ways and means of placing British soldiers and sailors on the land after the war, sailed for New Zealand from here last week, having finished his work in Australia. He will spend about a month in New Zea- land and will then go on to Canada. Speaking of his efforts in the Com- monwealth, which involved 3,000 miles traveling in about six weeks, he said they had been extraordinarily suc_cxehssiul. e i “The Queensland government,” he said, “is prepared.to provide 1,000,000 acres for agriculture for the settle- ment of ex-service men from the United Kingdom. The New South Wales government by its irrigation schemes will be enabled to increase its settlers by about 1,000 in two years and in this is prepared to put time-expired United Kingdom sol- diers on the same footing as its own men. Other states are also willing to extend to ex-service men from the United Kingdom the same advantages in land settlement as they offer to their own. “When this war ends we shall be faced suddenly with the problem of handling great numbers of the 5,000, 000 soldiers who will be released with changed ideals and changed #spirits. Unless something is ready for them there will be great mistakes. We can take a lesson from the emigration of 125,000 men from the United King- dom to the United States after the Boer war.” American Woman Taken from Train By Mexican Officer Nogales, Ariz., '(luly 1.—Mrs. Wil- liam Hamilton, wife of an American connected with the Los Mochis Sugar company of Sonora, was taken from a train yestérday at Lomas, four miles south of the border, by Major Pelon Palma, military trainmaster at Sonora, according to’ reports received here today. United States Consul Simpich im- mediately demanded her release. Jose Estrada, secretary tp Ignacio Bonil- las, a Carranza cabinet officer, took the matter up with General Norsa- gary, military chief in Nogales, So- nora, Mrs. Hamilton was traveling on a F{unpor! issued by General Estrada at ermosillo. Major Palma is at present under indictment in Arizona on the charge of horse stealing. Willis Company Wil DeveloB Yytor Place The Willis Realty company is plac- ing on the market this week forty lots in, Victor plaee, the property pur- chased three months ago from Wil- son T. Graham. It comprises all of “the grourd formerly occupied by ther Poppleton homestead, slightly in ex- cess of five acres, and is located one mile north of the postoffice. The entire tract is covered with beautiful trees and shrubs. The grounds a few years ago was one of the show places of Omaha. Victor avenue has been cut through the property between Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets. In platting, a special effort has been made so that neither streets nor houses will re- move the valuable trees. One special feature has been the placing of water, sewer and gas in- side the property line, instead of in the center of the street, which is usually customary. This prevents cutting of the pavement later and saves the buyer considerable money in bringing this improvement inside of the lot. The John Grant Paving company will begin paving ' both Victor and Willis avenues early in July. Machinists Strike “for Eight-Hour Day Philadelphia, July 1.—A strike of organized machinists in Philadelphia was called today h{ the International association of Machinists. The union is demanding an eight-hour day. No demand is made for wage increases. According to union officials about 7,000 machinists have answered the call. A number of plants where munitions are being manufactured for European countries may be affected. Pitts of Detroit- Heads Greeters Salt Lake C h, July 1.—E. E. Pitts of Detroit, Mich., was yesterday elected president of the Greeters of America in annual convention here, to succeed Leroy D. Moulton of Port- land, Me.

NEED MORE MONEY FOR DUTCH TROOPS Report of the Progress Made | Since Preparations for | War Started. i DO NOT RESPECT OFFICERS | (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) | The Hague, Netherlands, June Zl,i —Interesting information as to what} has been accomplished in preparing | the Dutch army for modern warfare in the twepty-one months during which it has now been on a war foot- ing was contained in a statement pre- smbed't.o parliament by the minister of war, Major ‘General N. Bosboom, when he asked for a fresh appropria- tion of $40,000,000 to cover mobiliza- tion expenses. Even a partial demobilization is still out of the question, according to the war minister. Answering the question whether the Dutch army was adequately pre- pared for war and whether the ma- terial and equipment fulfill modern requirements, he said that although it was inadvisable to make public in- formation which might benefit a pos- sible enemy, there was no doubt the Dutch soldiers could face the pros- pect of war with confidence. In August, 1914, the material and ec{]mpmen! left much to be desired. The workshops of the kingdom were | not ready for mass production. These shops have been enlarged and a hun- dred factories have been equipped for the production of war material, There is a great supply of hand grenades, in the use of which the| troops have been trained. Gas masks, steel helmets, modern engineering material, trench shields, barbed wire, and protective material have been made in large quantities. Coast Defense. | Searchlights for coast defense, land positions and field troops have been | increased. Automobile stations for wireless telegraphy have been formed. | The army has at its disposal a great | number of motor lorries for the trans- | port of troops and wounded. The| number of aeroplanes has been large-| ly increased. These are provided with ! bombs, machine guns and quickfirers, and, as regards speed and raising power, they have been brought up to the standard prevailing abroad. Private industry has co-operated in| the building of new aeroplanes, al-| though Holland remains dependant on foreign countries for motors. As regards the medical service, the reserve hospital accommodation has | been increased by arrangements with 150 civilian nursing institutions. Moreover, an institute of military dentists has been established. Vac- cination against smallpox, typhus and meningitis is being carried out. An unfavorable comment on the re- lations between commanders and men in the Dutch army is the fact, now made known, that many thousands of soldiers persisted in going on fur- lough”at Easter, when leave was fused them owing to the special cir- cumstarices that made the position dangerous for Holland. Severe pun- ishment has been meted out to the men ‘concerned. Incidentally, the minister mentioned that there were fifty-two suicides in the army at the beginning of mobilization.

ALL COATS Except Jersey Knit Sea Linen 50c a IN BLACK AND WHITE IT IS A DIFFICULT MATTER TO CONVEY THE IDEA OF ’ SERVICE. L Printer’s Ink has its limitations. It is difficult to put into cold type the earnest purpose which lies behind the intention to ren- der service. Just what this word service means depends upon the kind of institution which uses it. As we use it the word SERVICE means a constant effort to give such perfect dental work that patients mey invariably be satisfied. It is an idea we heve persisted in for twenty-eight Years, or ever since the Bailey Dental Company came into existence. As the Bailey Dental Company exists today it stands for the best in dentistry. We believe in ORGANIZATION. We believe in it because it results in better dental work. Organization means adequate resources. Resources in turn mean ability to procure the most modern equipment and to Work under the most favorable conditions. Consider the plan we pursue of emplojing dentists who are spe- cialists in their particular lines. If a man who has developed un- usual skill in, say bridge and plate work, is the on19 operator entrusted with this division of dentistry, what is the result? Un- questionably You profit by expert services. We follow out this idea consistently in all our work. And Bailey service means this---no patient is permitted to leave our offices without full opportunity to express a personal opinion of our methods and work. We invite criticism in order that we may possibly discover some way in which We can improve our dentistry. Moreover we guarantee all work we do. We feel that perfect work may well be guaranteed and that with such a condition ex- isting we are UWWDER OBLIGATIONS TO ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY. _ The Bailey Dental Company has grown steadily for more than a of a century and at present We are growing faster than quarter ever. That, we think, should be sufficient reason for anjone. to inquire personally as to what Bailey Service means. THE BAILEY DENTAL 706 City National Bldg. 16th an COMPANY DR. R W. BAILEY, Pres. DR. G.
