VISITORS ARE GIVEN PEEP AT DEN SHOW Merchants and Butchers Are Initiated Into Ak-Sar-Ben Mysteries. 8.5 SPEECHES DELIVERED The visiting merchants who are in our city for market week, visited the den of the mighty King Ak-Sar-Ben last evening and saw the wonders contained therein. The United Master Butchers of America who are in our city for their annual convention, mastered the mys- teries of the great king's palace. Tney saw Coronado throw the bull, they saw the goose laying the golden egg, they saw King Tatarax and his lovely queen, the sweet Cremo. The den show certainly was a | with the big crowd. Some of the numbers were demanded a second and a third time by the persistent clapping of the good, big, hands. Some Oratory. _ Archie W. Carpenter tried to de- liver an oration instead of a two- minute speech. “Hatty” Black had chosen three orators from the crowd. Mr, Carpenter was to represent the Omaha jobbers. He started off in fine oratorical style. He directed atten- tion to the fertile fields of Nebraska, he asserted that Omaha jobbers are delighted to have the merchants as their guests this week, he fearlessly asseverated that the knights of Ak- Sar-Ben are fine fellows. This was fine, but when he plunged into an analysis of the present high cost of paper the hand clapping started, which means that the den audience loves not oratory, no matter how flowery. Visitors Talk. The other two gentlemen made great successes by speaking about one minute each. They were Fred Bar- clay of Pawnee City, speaking for the visiting merchants, and A, S. Picker- ing of Cleveland, O., president of the United Master Butchers of America. “Dad” Weaver purveyed the pleas- ing information that there are now 2,723 paid members, by far the great- 3“ number in the history of the king- om. .Next Monday’s Meeting. Next Monday evening will be Rotary club and M. & O. evening at the den. This means that the Ro- tarians will be there and also the in- habitants of the towns and countr; along the “M. & O” railroad, whicK runs in a northerly direction from Omaha. May Open Way for Uncle Sam Helping Starving of Europe London, Aug. 8—The foreign office tomorrow will send a memorandum to Walter Hines Page, American am- abassdor, which will leave the way open for resumption of the negotia- tions for feeding the civilian popula- tion of the German occupied areas, the conditions for which, as laid down by Great Britian, were recently re- jected by Germany. The memoran- dum will suggest that the United States government can reopen the question if it regard such a step ad- visable and useful. Germany’s reply rejecting the Bri- tish offer has already been published in the United States, and Great Bri- tian’s reply thereto, will be made ublic here within a few days. The ritish reply will deny the conten- tions of Germany that the British pro- posals were too long delayed and that owing to favorable crop pros- ects, relief action could apparently ge dispensed with after October 1, and also that the next harvest would provide for the needs of the people with the exception of certain periods when their condition would be straightened. The reply will say that the first contention is so false that it is un- worthy of discussion and that reports in the possession of the British gov- ernment refute the latter. The British reply, which leaves a resumption of the negotiations to the judgment of the United States, doubt- less would be received with gratef.l surprise in Polish relief circles, as the note outlining the original British proposal stated that a rejection of them would end the negotiations. AL Omaha Contractor Is Low For New Fremont Hotel Fremon,t Neb., Aug. 8.-—(Special) —Bids for the erection of Fremont's new $200,000 hotel were opened this afternoon but the figures were not made public. It is understood the J. Mardis company of Omaha was the low bidder. The building committee and officers will meet tomorrow to consider the offers and award the contract.
