Army Officers Have Laugh at Judge Who Sentences to Army Whenever District Judge Sears gives a young offender a suspended jail sentence on condition that he “join the army or navy,” a loud laugh goes up from the recruiting stations of these two branches of Uncle Sam’s fighting service. Looked at carelessly, this seems a good solution of the problem. It is better, isn’t it, to have a young man in the army or navy than in jail. He'll be earning his own living, defending his country and “making a man” of himself. But, to sentence a man to “join the army or navy” is about as sensible as to sentence him to “accept a position in a bank.” He has just about as much chance of getting into the bank as into the army or navy. In the first place, only about one applicant in three is able to pass the physical examination. And, in the second place, conviction or even ar- rest on a charge of any seriousness at all is an éffectual bar to enlist- ment. “The army and navy are not main- tained to reform bad eggs,” said one man. “A good moral character is as much a requisite as a good physique. Judges would do well to inform them- selves on the subject.” 1. C. Special to Be 'In Omaha August 12 A special train of traffic officials and representatives of the road is now traveling over the Illinois Central lines. Every point on the lines will be visited during the excursion. Omaha will be the last city to be visited by this special. The train comes to Omaha from Fort Dodge, August 12, It arrives at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The traffic men will remain here until 6:30 that night be- fore returning to Chicago, the head- quarters of the road. The local terminal will be inspected and a trip will be made to the South Side station. Every important city in which an Illinois Central office is located is represented on the special train. H. G. Powell, division freight agent, is the Omaha man making the trip. Twenty Per Cent More to Build Missouri Pacific Now It would cost 20 per cent more to reproduce the Missouri Pacific rail- road lines in Nebraska today than it would have Zost in 1909, according to statements of Chief Engineer Perdun of that road at the hearing of the road’s passenger rate case before Referee Frank H. Gaines in the fed- eral building. “Aside from the increased cost of materials,” he said, “the cost of labor has gone up and the efficiency of labor has gone down.” Harte to Build Pump Station at Walnut Hill John H. Harte is the low bidder for the job of constructing the big Wal- nut Hill pumping station for the Metropolitan Water District of Oma- ha. he contract may be awarded most any time. The award has been delayed for some time because so many of the members of the water board were out of the city that it was impossible to get a quorum. Cinzha Girl is Awarded Scholarship at Chicago Elizabeth I’! Hart, 2959 Farnam street, has been awarded a year's scholarship in the University of Chi- cago for excellence in her freshman work. She is a graduate of the Cen- tral High school, and a year ago was honoreg with the entrance scholar- ship to the Chicago school. Two Plea: Guilty to Robbery and Are Held Warner Kinsman and Tom Belson each charged with the robbery of O. K.

Satsuma to gain possession of the secret of the submarine finally drove their employers to exasperation, and harsh measures were decided upon.

The meeting was held in the council chamber amid black trappings and ghastly reminders of the fate that awaited treachery or failure. A grave assembly of masked figures lis- tened coldly while their chief, the only one whose identity was not hid- den behind a black mask, questioned Mahlin and Satsuma regarding their activities in pursiut of the much-de- sired secret. Their explanations failed to satisfy, The decision of the council was announced cold-blooded- }ly and emphatically by the chief. hey msut secure the secret within the hext four weeks or death would be the penalty! Upon their return to San Francisco Hope found awaiting him at his hotel an official envelope bearing the fa- miliar heading of the Navy depart- ment. The letter it contained, which was marked “Strictly Confidential,” was signed by an official high in the bureau of naval intelligence, “As you are perhaps aware,” the letter concluded, “there exists at the moment between the United States and a certain power whose name it is unnecessary to mention a situation of the utmost gravity. This power is convinced that we have permitted our navy to deteriorate to such an ex- tent that hostilities could be inaugur- ated against us with a reasonable chance of success. It is no exaggera- tion, therefore, to assert that the dis- covery of Dr. Burke's formula may save this nation from invasion. Under these circumstances there is no need for me to urge you to prosecute the search with the utmost energy. The Submarine in Flanders,” “The Road to Glory,” “Vive o Copyright, 1916, by E.

I only expect to be mar- ried once and I've set my heart on having the things that other girls have. Our happiness can wait for a few days, dearest,” she added persua- sively, “Our country comes first.” “You're perfectly right, dear” agreed Hope, secretly lrplauding her patriotic stand. “We will take up the search again at once. There are only five books still to find and the miss- Ing hilosophy must be one of them.” ‘Whose name is on the list?” she asked, “{?lquin Romero,” he answered. “Not the poet and naturalist?” she eagerly inquired. “The same.” “The man who writes those won- derful poems about the forest and the flowers and the birds?" “That’s the man.” “He has a cabin, I understand, in the High Sierras. He lives there so that he can study nature at first hand.” “We will pay a visit to Mr. Ro- mero,” she announced, “I love his poems and have always wanted to meet him.” To reach Romero's Sierran home took them a day by train and another day on horseback, but when at last they reached it they understood why the famous poet-naturalist had chosen such a remote location, for the long, low building of logs which he modestly referred to as his “cabin” was shaded by a magnificent group of giant redwoods, and its flower- smothered veranda commanded a panorama of forest, mountain and stream unequaled in all the world. Nor did they need to be assured of the identity of the tall, eagle-faced old man with the keen blue eyes and the mane of snowy hair who greeted them on the veranda, for his features had long been familiar to them through newspapers and m: ines. “Mr. Romero,” 'said Hope, “I am Lieutenant Hope of the navy, and this is Miss Cleo Burke.” “No relation, I suppose, of Dr, Ralph Burke, the inventor, who died re- cently?” inquired the naturalist. “He was my father, sir,” said Cleo proudly. “Bless my soul,” exclaimed Romero. “I knew your father well, Miss Burke, and admired him deeply, If I can be of service to his aughter I shall consider it a privilege.” “I have reason to believe, Mr. Ro- mero,” said Cleo, “that you can be of very great service, indeed,” and she roceeded to tell him the story of her ather’s mysterious death, of the lost formula and of how much depended on its recovery, of the clue given in the letter which she discovered in her father’ desk, of the discouragements and perils which they had encountered in their search for the books, and finally of the message contained in the book which she had found in the cabin on the ledg (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)

N'GILTON TELLS OF THE LAW LEAGUE Returns With Honor of Being Elected President—Has 4,500 Members. OTHER OMAHA MEN THERE Bringing with him the honor of be- ing elected its president, E. G. Mc- Gilton is back trom the meeting uf the Commercial Law League of America at Atlantic City. Among others there from Nebraska were H H. Baldrige, Raymond Young and Henry Thompson of Omaha and C M. Skiles of David City. Speaking about the growth of the league and its. work Mr., McGilton says: “The league was organized at De- troit in 1895 and has since met an- nually, once in Omaha, It now has 4,500 members, to which each state and each of the provinces of Canada contributes its proportion. I attende:l the first meeting as a charter member. and have attended nearly every meet- ing since. Uniform Legislation. “The objects of its organization were to ?ron\ote uniformity of legis~ lation affecting commercial law; to elevate the standard and improve the practice of commercial law; to en- courage honorable dealing among lawyers, and to foster a feeling o fraternity and mutual confidence, .\t the time and for a long time preced- ing, the method by which controver- sies arising out of commerce were handled were very ursatisfactory. During the last fifty years our com- merce has grown to mammoth pro- portions, running well in the billions, at least 90 per cent being transacted upon credit. In the normal conduct of this business the agencies that have to do with it are imbued with the spirit of honesty and fair dealing, but as all healthy, normal life is likewise attended with disease and decay, so men in the business world are not all sound morally nor guided by the highest ideals of business ethic Hence the wide field for an organiza- tion such as the Commercial I:w league, Results Satisfactory. The results gained by the organiza- tion have been most satisfactory, The league compels members to adhere to its schedule of fees for business ad- justed without litigation, and when igation ensues to conduct it upon reasonable terms. It is now possible for a merchant of the Atlantic sea- board to entrust to a member of the league residing in California his legal business, with assurance that it will receive efficient attention. “The league has no use for the in- competent or dishonest lawyer and s doing a great work, together with the American Bar association, in Kurgin the profession of the black sheep of its fold. To that end the league lends its aid to state and local bar associa- tions in their endeavors to raise the | standard of the profession. The league likewise takes a great interest in legis- lation, both state and national, affect- ing the commerce of the countr{. It has special committees upon bank- ruptcy legislation, upon legislation in general and upon grievances growing out of complaints for overcharges or onesty. Most of our important litigation comes from our enormous commerce, and lawyers generally are beginning to realize that the great productive field of litigation is now and will be in the commercial system of the country.” Lillian Strong Has Resigned as Head Miss Lilly M. Strong has resigned as general secretary of the local sociation, effective September 15, Miss Strong will go to Ypsilanti, Mich,, | her home, for a rest before resuming her work in another center.
