April 7 was the forty-eighth anniversary of the arrival at Gibbon of the Soldiers Free Homestead Colony. Thirteen of the original colonists responded to the roll call.
The Douglas County Association of Nebraska Pioneers will hold its annual picnic in August this year, and is making a campaign for a thousand new members, which will bring its roll up to 3,000. Charles Unitt is president and Mrs. Mary Cormack is secretary. These pio- neers will miss the face of David H. Mercer, former congressman, who was the president last year.
A preliminary meeting was held on April 8 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Anderberry, Minden, to organize a county historical society. A committee to draft a tentative constitution and by-laws was appointed, composed of Lee A. Richmond, Mrs. J. A. Martin, C. P. Johnson and Mrs. R. W. Wait. C. P. Anderberry was made temporary chairman.

June 17 a heavy sack of war material from France arrived at the Historical Society rooms. It is part of that gathered by Secretary Sheldon from the battle fields of Belgium and France last November. An interesting story goes with some of these articles. Last November the hardest fought battle fields of northern France and Belgium were covered with the debris of war. The dead had been buried. The rifles, machine guns, crippled tanks, and cannon, heimets, gas masks, canteens, camp outfits-all the equipment of the armies which had fought were scattered thickly everywhere. Blood stains were upon the ground and upon the camp outfits and scattered uniforms. Hand grenades, bombs and other explosives were lying in a reckless way in the trenches and dugouts. More than one fatal accident occurred to visitors upon these battle fields at that time.
In the collection of helmets just arrived are some which were picked up from the German trenches in front of Ypres, others from the great plain in front of the city of Arras, while still others were picked up where they lay along the Hindenburg line in front of Cambrai.
There is a trench spade with a broken handle taken from one of the advanced trenches of the Hindenburg line. Near it lay a broken rifle and part of a uniform. A gas mask was taken from a dugout of a German artillery camp in the same sector.
The French and Belgian cities which were occupied by the Ger- man armies were liberally sprinkled with signs, in German, giving road directions and police regulations. Most of these signs were made in a durable manner, with heavy black letters upon hard wood, securely fastened to buildings and street corners. A number of these were torn down with some difficulty by Mr. Sheldon and brought to America. Some of these signs are shown in the picture on this page. A typical one reads as follows:
Jedes Betreten des Rasens ist streng VERBOTEN!
Der Chefarzt.
This is an order to the soldiers to "Keep off the grass."
One of the most interesting parts of this collection was pre- sented to Mr. Sheldon by a Scotch captain who had in charge the propaganda work under the patronage of Lord Northcliffe. The pur- pose of this propaganda was to reach the German army, convince it that Germany was losing the war and thereby break down the morale. It was begun in a systematic and extensive way-just about a year ago. A force of several hundred specially trained men was employed all along the allied battle lines. These men were equipped with balloons about six feet high and capable of carrying a burden of several pounds each. When the reports indicated fair weather and a wind blowing toward Germany, hundreds of these balloons were sent up
from back of the allied lines.
At the bottom of each balloon was fastened a strong, slow burning cord about as large as a man's thumb and several feet long. At intervals along the cord, by means of strong metallic clips, bundles of propaganda literature printed in German were fastened. The balloons mounted to a height of several thous- and feet and drifted back from ten to twenty miles over German camps. As the cord slowly burned the papers were released and thus fell into German hands. One of the effective pieces of litera- ture was a series of maps, prepared from day to day, showing the advance of the allied lines and the retreat of the German army. Al- though the German high command issued the strictest orders against the reading or handling any of this literature by German soldiers, vet for weeks every batch of German prisoners would be found sup- plied with some of the maps and papers. The inevitable effect was to discourage the German soldier in the ranks. He could tell whether the map correctly showed the retreat of the German army where he was located. If he found it true there, he would infer it was true elsewhere. One of the maps in this collection has upon its back the following legend:
GERMAN SOLDIERS
Read the official despatch below, then turn and look at the facts!
Berlin, Official. October 14, 1918. Evening. In Flanders the enemy attacked us upon a wide front between Dixmude and the Lys river. We drove him back in defeat.
Turning to the other side one finds a map printed in German with red lines showing a wide retreat of the German army during three days fighting. Across the map is printed in red letters, "The Victory of the Allies. Prisoners taken 15,000, Cannon 180."
The Scotch captain who had charge of this propaganda work was a professor of music in the University of Edinburgh before the war and his favorite instrument was the violoncello. He was years in Germany studying music before the war.
The World War collection of the Nebraska State Historical Society is designed to be the greatest of such material within the state. A special effort is made to procure everything which will commemorate the work of Nebraska soldiers. Every man and woman who wore uniform during the war in any capacity, or had part in war work, is invited to have a part in making this collection.

The following list contains all of the names of Nebraska men who have fallen in the World War, as the same have been announced by the bulletins of the war department, together with their residence and the date of the announcement from Washington. There is little doubt that a number of errors have been made in the transmission and publication of these names. Nevertheless it is the most com- plete and accurate list which can now be obtained. At a later time a more adequate account of these men from our state who have laid down their lives in the world's great cause will be published by the Historical Society.
We shall be glad to receive any corrections to this list from per- sons having direct knowledge.
