I MAYOR'S SOLUTION
City Will Protect Men
1 on Cars; To Repeal
Jitney Ordinance.
OMAHA, Neb. Dec. 4. Mayor Smith
this morning proposed three plans in
settling the street car strike:
1 Services of mayor and city com
mission will be offered as mediators,
i 2 City will protect operation of'
care. If men wish to go to work and:
take out cars, city will protect them.
3 Repeal of the Jitney ordinances,
requiring license and bond from jit
ney operators.
Police Superintendent Ringer said
j the police will protect life and prop.
; crty.
A crowd of packing house employes I
sncountered a Ra'lston street car run- '
nlng and at Twcnty-sixth and q!
strcctc made an attempt to overturn
the car, but union street car men in
tervened and prevented violence. The
crew operating the car had not been
notified that the strike was in effect.'
jL An effort to take a car, carrying ex- I
press, from the Twenty-fourth and I
Vinton street barn at 7:30 o'clock
this morning failed when union pick
ets outside of the barn got in front
of the car and refused to get out of
!the way. The car with a trailer car
rying express was returned to the
barn. The car was marked "no pas
sengers" and sent out with the in
tention of delivcrying the express, '
car officials said.
When a white mail car passed the I
barn there was no jeering or demon- '
Jtration of any kind, the strikers pay
ing no attention to it. i
The first two railway mail street .
;ars to start from the Pierco street
barn this morning, -manned by union i
men, made their way to the postoffice, 1 i
then to the depots and back to the J
II barn without encountering the slight- '
est difficulty. 1
Ben Short, president of the street'
:ar men's union, organized the pick
sting squad at the Pierce barn and at
I 3 o'clock went home for rest, after
being up all night.

' NIB S BOTTLE IB
LANDED FROM TBI'
Peter Kontas made a trip to Ogden,
determining to look up old friends and
pass the jovial bottle round quite a
convivial and friendly deed to do he
thinks, particularly in this time of in
fluenzathe bottle full of "the right
stuff" he had bought on the train, so
he said, at a price which Induces Dep
uty Brown to beliove that he must
, have bought it at, a bargain sale $1
for ono pint.
However, as the stories say, his en
; terprise met an unfortunate end be
: cause, as he negotiated lower Twenty
fifth street from the train, the deputy
sheriff met him and placed him under
I arrest.
His friends may visit him at the
county jail on Twenty-fourth street,
f until tomorrow morning, when Peter
will be callod before Judge Roberts
to answer for the bottle on his person.

The family of Harry Keyes of Og
den has received an interesting letter
from him. "Somewhere in France, in
which he states that he Is now con
valescing from an attack of influenza.
The Illness is not very provalent in
his company, according to Keyes,
At the lime of the writing of his
letter, Mr. Keyes expected to be trans
ferred to some railroad branch of the
service as he was having extreme dif
ficulty in keeping his gas mask on his
nose and was therefore subject to
great dangers.
"Everything seems strange to the
Americans over here," says Keyes, and
the entire country with its modes of
transportation is about fifty years be
hind the times. '

ELKS m OTHERS USE
DESERVING OF
PRAISE
A walk through the new emergency
hospital this morning was enough to
make a man wish that he might have I
an exceedingly light attack of the com
plaint and be compelled to stay there'
in such a splendidly equipped estab-
lishment where the evidences of real,
care were at hand at every turn.
Large spacious rooms, well lighted,
clean and bright to look upon, nurses
whose every movement said. "We are1
here to assist your speedy recovery;"!
a well placed set of rooms for the con- '
venience and welfare of the nursing
staff, and, in short to use tho phrase
of the real estate advertisement," ev
ery modern appliance" that human na
ture may call for during a timo of
siclcness is there for tho upbuilding of
sufferers into health and strength
again. I
All praise to tho Rev. John Edward
Carver of the Red Cross, and all praise
to the brotherhood of Elksvho came
to the city's need with so "splendid a
building, and all success to Nurse j
Swainston and her staff who will give
further manifestation of a spirit of
duty that has been a bright and shin
ing light during Ogden's dark days of
the epidemic.
Over the door and beneath the in
signia or the B. P. 0. E. there ought
to be written in letters of gold and
illumined at night,
"Abound in hope all ye who enter
here."
If any more of the Standard force
come down with the disease, it shall
be written that they were among those
present at tho Emergency hospital in
the Elks building. j
Attention Elks! You never did a bet
ter day's work in your Ogden exis
tence than when your Exalted Ruler.
Kirkendall responded to Parson Car
ver's plea in the name of Ogden suf
ferers and the cause of the Red Cross.

LEO T. DEAN IS II i
01 OF THE BIG ;
RUN DRIVES 1
Mrs. Margaret Dean has received
the following letter, dated Oct. 21,
from her son. Private Leo T. Dean,
with Co. K, 3G4th infantry in France.
"Just a lino or two to let you know
that I am still pegging along and, other
than a little cold, I am all right.
"We came offf the line about two
weeks ago and sure had some exper
iences. Wo got the Germans on the
run and the last I heard they were
still running. Wo drove them out of
some woods where apparently thoy
were fixing for a nice comfortable
winter, but we broke up their house- c
keeping and spoiled their playhouses.
They had some very nice dugouts
equipped with electric lights and
stoyes, some nice gardens around tho
shacks and everything to make life
easy.
"They would fight us with machine
guns and shrapnel. The machine guns
did not worry ua very much, but the
shrapnel was pretty hard to take at
times. Some of the German machine
gunners that wero killed beside their
guns had red cross bands on their
arms, but this stall did not work very
well. They also had snipers with
American uniforms working behind
our front lines. They would fight un
til we got right-on top of them and
then they would throw up their hands
and yell 'Kamorads '
"We were in the drivo altogether
about ten days. It was raining nearly
all tho timti but at that wo came out
pretty good. After we came off the
drive wo did considerable hiking to a
rest camp and had a few days off.
"We are now In a country Unit is
very muddy and thero has been some
fierce fighting here. The towns, sonic
of thorn big ones too, are left In ruins
nothing left but the walls of the
buildings. It sure will lake a groat
deal of timo and money to rebuild
them. Tho people are returning to
their homes to find them in ruins
"I sure would like to run -on to Don
j over here. If I knew his A. P. 0.
I number 1 would write to him, hut I
think I will take a chance anyway. I
am sending you my Xmas coupon and
I you can follow the instructions on it
as to sending my package. I do not
think I could handle an automobile or
a piano or anything like that, but you
can send me some sweets of some
kind, that will not spoil and they will
be very much appreciated. I am sorry
I cannot send something home to you.
but hope to bring something back with
! me. If you send anything bo sure and
stick this coupon on it and wrap It up
so that it will not bo broken up.
"I never have received any of the
papers that you sent me but you can
try again as I suppose thoy are very
easily lost."

A DISCOVERY
OFM WAR
Glycerine Made by U. S.
Chemist by Fermentation
of Sugar.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 Out of tho
war's. necessities has boon dovoloped a
"liew synthetic process of making gly
cerine by fermentation of sugar in
quantity, at low cost, which govern
ment officials say will revolutionize
production. This secret, carefully
guarded while the war lasted, was dis
closed today in a treasury report.
John R. Ocff is the chemist who di
rected the experiments.
The process was tried out on a large
scale in a chemical plant at Aurora,
111., and found to be commercially pro
fitable. Then tho secret was convey
ed to Allied governments and to man
ufacturing chemists who proposed to
undertako commercial exploitation of
the process,
triiteIsi !
PARIS, Dec. 4 "The president
comes from a sense or duty just as
tho American fighters (came," says tho
Temps, in commenting on President
Wilson's visit to France. "Ho seeks
to sustain in the peace negotiations
the same causo of justice and liberty
l which his compatriots defended on the
. I battle front. He comes as the ropre
I scntatlve of tho wholo of his countrv
: 1 and he carries tho national flag."

BERLIN TO HAVE
Forty Fliers Had Been Prepar
ing for Weeks to Do the
Bombing.
NEW YORK, Doc. 4 Berlin was to
have been bombed by a squadron of
eight to twelve super-Handley-Paige
and de l-Invlland-10 airplanes on the
night of November 11, the date of the
signing of tho armistice, according to
a number of American aviators who
returned today on tho transport Lap
land. Forty fliers of tho new and powerful
aircraft had been preparing for weoks
at Ford Junction, Sussex, on tho Eng
lish channel, to attack tho German
capital. Eighteen of the aviators came
home today and the remainder are
still in England.
All of them had been trained in this
country for tho particular purpose of
attacking interior German cities. Each
man had received. It was said, 300
hours experience as night fliers at
Ellington field in Texas.
According to their story, all plans
tun .irr i .li ii iy i T n nil 1 1 i I H-m -f 1 1 mi rnu.' h h i
had been made for dropping tons of
trinitrotoluol on Berlin. The distance
from Ford Junction to the German
capital is about 500 miles.

FISH STOP IS A
NEW INVENTION
SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 3 Saving of
thousands of dollars annually for
northwest fish hatcheries appears at
an end through the invention of an
electric fish stop which has been in
stalled at the Denver state hatcheries
and which members of the bureau of
fisheries, Seattle branch, say has
proved successful in every wny. The
northern -bureau of fisheries plans to
experiment with the fish stop in Alas
ka. Tho electric fish stop was designed
to prevent fish from following wrong
streams. Placing, of nets across the
mouths of waterways has proved not
only inefficient, but costly, small mesh
nets Impeding tho flow of the current
and largo mesh nets allowing the fish
to escape. Keeping fish away from
intake and Irrigation ditches and from
dangerous rapids near spawning
grounds, is also expected to be over;
como by the electric fish stop.
The new slop operates by establish
ing electric fields of graduated voltage
acros sthe stream, power being fur- 0 I
nished by a water dynamo placed in jlil
the stream. Current generated is car- jr KB
ried to a small house on the bank to a jjj I
transformer, which converts the cur- fk j I
rent into four currents of voltages j: j III
ranging from 25 to 200 volts. The 25 L j
volt field is located farthest down jMjlil
stream, turning back the small fish I
coming in contact with it into the ImII
main current. The increasing voltage j-lfjll
acts upon fish of proportionate size. ijjlill
Tho electric fields are established by M
means of iron gratings which curve
into the river banks and extend to the Djl
stream bed. mill
