= | GERMANS NO LONGER HATE THE FRENCH Noted Inventor, Fresh From Flanders’ Firing Line, Pre- dicts End of Dynasties. WIERD CHRISTMAS PARADE “T was there, thank God, not to kill any body but to help them!” asserted W. V. Robeson of the Royal Army § Medical corps of France and England, who was in Omaha yesterday. He still shows the terrific nervous strain of menths spent in the midst of thou- sands of wounded and dying soldiers at the hospitals right behind the bat- tle lines in France. Mr. Robeson is an inventor of note, associated with Thomas Edison for the last five years, and was en route home from the Edison new process mill at Silver Plume, Colo. He has invented a number of appliances that make soldier life easier, One is a new appliance of new material to cover the wounded. It measures seven feet square, weighs a little over two pounds, is waterproof and ice will not cling to it. Inventor of Note. Mr. Robeson is the inventor of a preservative that keeps cotton from mill-dewing in any climate, A stretcher from which, by means of a simple device, a wounded man is de- osited on the bed without having to ge lifted up from the stretcher is an invention which he made and pge- sented to the warring nations, “I believe that this indescribably horrible war is m:rkin? the end of dynasties,” he said. “A feeling of uni- wversal brotherhood is springing up everywhere, Germans wave their hands to Frenchmen. The old per- sonal hatred is disappearing amid the misery and bereavement of the peo- le on both sides in the great con- ict. i “The most impressive sight I saw was in London last Christmas, Sol- diers of the allies, Englishm French, Serbs, New Zealanders, Ca dians, and so on marched in colos! review while the bells ranE out in mocking contrast their Christmas message of ‘Peace on earth, good will to men.’ : Spurned by America. | “The Lewis gun 1s the great weapon of the European war, a gun invented by an American, but refused by this government. The same is true of many other inventions. Our govern- ment has displayed woeful lack of judgment in the great inventions it turned down and which have been secured by foreign nations. “This is a war of science. Why do u hear no more of gas attacks? cause the allies stopped this terri- ble thing by loading the machine gu with chemical pellets which, when shot into the approaching gas cloud, dh&‘ellled it, “Why are the Ze; ‘Ing less terrible? Because, by mea | of rays of light, the gun fire on them I8 so directed that they are brought down too often for their safety. And . 80 the battle of science rages.” Mr. Robeson intends to return to the front in January. He believes the end of the war is not in sight, Shackleton Party ~ Reaches Santiago | Santiago, Chile, Sept. 27.—Lieuten- _ ant Sir Ernest Shackleton, the ex- plorer, who is on his way to England, (»mived here today from Punta Arenas with the nembers of his party who were rescued from. Elephant Island. The voyage from Punta Arenas was made on the steamship Yelcho, which the Chilean government phceJ at the disposal of Sir Ernest for the rescue expedition. Sir Ernest will call upon President San Fuentas tomorrow to « thank him for the part taken by the elin raids becom- Chilean government in the work of | g rescue. Electrolysis Serious To the Water Pipes Electrolysis is becoming a serious menace to the mains of the metropo- litan water system. During the last few weeks three breaks have oc- curred, and in each instance the cause was ascribed to the action of vagrant ’ electricity from the street railway company's return current, The current which returns through the rails after having served its pur- pose in the mechanism of cars, oc- " casionally travels to a water main and depreciates the metal to the ex- " lent of causing a break, This problem in the operation of ‘water plants has grown so serious that the federal government has given it much consideration, Member Wead of the Water board states he expects a government ex- :,‘:t ill come to Omaha to give the nicipal water department the bene- fit of investigations made by the fed- eral experts. It is believed that by placing metal sheets in the ground and connecting them with the water mains the prob- lem of electrolysis may be solved. ek de e i Wins Suit for Pay for Boarding Little Lad|q Stephen A.

After several years of litigation in which he had been trying to recover commissions for the sale of coal lands to the Cleveland Coal company, yron V.

Britain has withdrawn regulations for the importations of cigar tobacco which American growers have de- clared ‘would ruin their busine authorized ipports on the basis of | H; those in 1913, 1914 and 1915. Consul General Skinner at London cabled the State department today of the change. ! The original regulations governing imports of cigar tobacco between gun: 1, 1915, and May 31, 1917, were ased on the amount that the import- ers had brought in 1915, a war year in which imports were small, The new order, according to the Department of Commerce officials, iives authority for practically normal imports of Amarican tobacco into Great Britain.

OTHER WOMAN MAY DIE Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 27.—The woman who shot and killed J. C. Gra- veur of New York seriously wounded his female companion and then com- mitted suicide in a prominent hotel here early today has been identified as Mrs. Harry Belzer of 315 Euclid avenue, New York, by a sister of the dead man. This sister, whose name is Mrs. Frances Apman, came here today with Harry V. Fancy of New York, a business partner of Graveur, and made the identification at the morgue. Mrs. Apman told the police Mrs. Belzer's maiden name was Margaret McAndrews and that the woman had not been living with her husband re- = | cently. Graveur, she also told the police, was a widower and had been very friendly with Mrs. Belzer. From cards found in Mrs. Belzer's handbag the police at first believed she was Mrs. J. C. Ledur, or Leduc. The wounded woman in the hospi- tal, at first supposed to be Graveur's wife, has not made any statement. Mrs. Apman will go to the hospital later in the day to see if she can iden- tify her, Wounded Woman Silent. The wounded woman, in the hospi- tal here, refuses to say anything re- garding the shooting, nor will she confirm statements that she is the wife of Graveur. Dispatches from New York state that employes at Graveur's garage said they believed that he was a widower. Information from New York is to the effect that Graveur and the woman he regis- tered at the hotel a6 his wife had been in Atlantic City last week and in Washington two or three days ago. The injured woman's condition is still considered critical. The name of the woman who did the shooting, it was said by the police, may be Mrs. Joseph Clarence Le- duc and not Ledur, ' The police learned from a woman guest at the hotel that Mrs. Ledur waited a long while in the hotel cor- ridor last night for Graveur and his lufiroscd wife to return. Mrs. Ledur told the woman guest that she was Graveur’s wife, that she had no key to get into her room and that she was tired of waiting. Graveur Prominent at Home, New York, Sept. 27.—J. C. Graveur was well known here in police and humanitarian circles. For ten years he was chief probation officer of the court of special sessions. He was relieved from that office in 1911. He on:ma_ted the Tombs prison school and gained a reputation among prison workers throughout the country.

Late in life the body is likely to show signs of wear and often the kidneys weaken first. The back is lame, bent and achy, and the kidney action distressing. This &y makes people feel older than they are. Don’t wait for the worst effects of bad kidneys — dropsy, gravel, ening of the arteries or Bright's disease. Use a mild kid- ney stimulant. Try Doan’s Kidney Pills. Thousands of elderly folks recommend them. An Omaha Example: ¢ Mrs. G. H. Miller, 1611 N. Twenty-sixth 8t., “About a year ago I was having some ailments as the result of my kidneys not being in good condition. My back ached just about all the time and it was hard for me to stoop over or lift at all.

HOSTETTER’S Stomach Bitters e “SHE MUST SPEND ALL SHE MAKES ON HER CLOTHES” This was the conclusion of Mar- garet’s acquaintances when she came down town this morning in a lovely new Fall suit. It fitted her exquisitely and the style was one of those trim, graceful semi-tailor- ed effects with a smart rippled jacket. You see, although Margaret earns a fair salary, still the infer- ence that she must be extravagant was natural enough. The other girls make as much as she, but none of them had hopes of having a new suit for quite a few weeks yet. Margaret buys her clothes ON CREDIT—her friends didn’t know that. But they krow it now, be- cause she told them all about it and explained how easy it is to pay for one’s pretty things by the week or month. “It's a shame for a girl to be envious of the clothes that any- body else wears,” Margaret said, “when Beddeo’s big Credit Store has such darling Fall Clothes, all priced at ‘Cash Store’ prices, al- though liberal credit is extended.” Beddeo’s store address is 1417 Douglas street—that’s all you need to remember.
