Dr. John Baptist. flans are being made to raise a large sum Omaha and Nebraska for the Armenians and Syrians, who arc dying by the tens of thousands from starvation. President Wilson has appealed to the American people for, help. The mayor of (New York has set aside Kovembec 10 and 11 for collecting funds for this purpose. "We are making plans to raise a sum 'of money, of which they city and state can be "proud," said Rev. Dr. John Baptist, chairman of the Omaha branch of the Armenian . National Union of America. "Last year we had a tag day, but raised only a small sum, The sufferings of the Armen ians and Syrians are so great and they call for assistance on 6uch large scale that the few hundreds of dollars which we might get from a tag day would do but little to alleviate their suffer ing and save their lives." H. H. Baldrige is chairman of the Omaha committee, and C. M. Wil helin is secretary. Definite plans for the campaign soon will be worked out. Astounding conditions of abject poverty and starvation are revealed by cablegrams direct from Armenia and Syria. Tabriz, October 25, comes a re port which says, "Famine increasing, wheat .$6 a bushel. People dying of lmnge? at out gate. Forty thousand Christian refugees and as many K::rds." "Impossible to help any (longer, 800 starving Armenia children in Armen ian churches. Bread all gone," 'Says a cablegram from Aleppo. From Urumiah, Persia, .this mes sage of horror came, signed by Ellis Beury: "If what I saw today in Sunni mosque's Urumiah" could be trans planted 10 hours westward to Madison Square, New York, every newspaper in America would ring with, story of most abject spectacle in world at war, and millions for relief would fol low straight way. Refuges from mountain villages, driven from ripen ing crops, living unsheltered on stones, inHrsrrihahle raps, starvation, sickness and filth, human beings in state of oriental street dogs with whom they compete for offal. "Work already done by Americans for Armenians, Syrians and Assyrians is national triumph, but vastness of continuing need is overwhelming. Turkish speaking reinforcements and field reorganizations on larger scale necessary. Congregational Presby terian Mission Turkey, Persia, vin dicated by brilliant present service of Americans and trained helpers." ' . William T. Ellis and Charles H.. Beury are the commissioners sent to investigate conditions in Persia and the Russfan Caucasus. B'Nai B'rith to Raise War Relief, Fund By Assessment Members of Omaha lodge No. 354, Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, will be asked at a regular meeting this evening to vote on the proposi tion of whether each member shall be assessed $1.25 to raise a war relief fund of $500, which was pledged at the last grand lodge convention. "This matter concerns every mem ber of Omaha lodge. .Most of us have relatives and friends at the can tonment camps and it behooves us to devise ways and means to make our boys feel that our thoughts are with them," reads a statement which has been sent to members. Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. CUT out swank: IS ADE'S ADVICE - TO U. SOLDIERS 'Cubs" HaveCome Into Their Own Since War Started; Sammies Urged to Quit Boasting. By GEORGE. ADE. Six n.onths ago the new voters were very muca in the background or off at the sides. No uan under 30 held a topnotch executive position or had moved to the front row of his profession. Any man under 30 was likel; to be regarded by a man well over 30 as a bit pin-feathery and somewhat of I squab. The word "half-baked" is much favored by those who begin to feel a f..uening in the joints. Just a few shifting moons, and now the whole nation is looking up in rev erence and admiration and dread at our lads stir in their twenties 1 The bank president is a pigmy alongside of the first lieutenant. El derly persons sit lonesomely in clubs, feeling depressed and unworthy. We have witnesed the transfigura tion of the cub. The very" qualities which we ap praised so lightly or regarded as minor faults are now recognised as thoingredients of heroism. We do not smile tolerantly at the eager enthusiasm, the scorn of danger, the cheerful optimism, and the candid patriotism of these coltish young sters. 1 We ook at them with eyes a bit misty and say, "Boys, you're great!" , Easy to Give Advice. Many of us are sitting, in sheltered corners, away from the first-hand ac tivities of the war, trying to compre hend that thousands of our boys are now in France and thousands more are going,, and we have passed the long preamble of talk and come up against the flinty realities of shrapnel and hand grenades. How easy it is for a man living in a steam-heated apartment, sleeping on a box mattress, and just about 3,000 miles beyond the range of the longest guns how easy it' is for him to tell the boys to endure grimly the trench privations and then go over the top like a whirlwind! Are Words of any account just now? Shall wa arltic nr r1A'tra Ka brave? probably the French and Eng lish instructors will urge them to be cautious. Shall we tell them to go out and die for their country? That is not, the prospectus, at all, at all. The plan is for our boys to tame the Germans and then come home alive. ' If we are to pester them with coun sel, let it be to the following effect: You'll Come Back. "You are going to tackle the big adventure of your life, but the chances are that you will come out of it all right not even nicked by a wound. The Americans are bound Jo get into action at the front. , They will share hard responsibilities with the English and Canadians and French. It is a grisly thing to check up on a cold blooded percentage basis, but, from a view of the averages, we believe that 19 out of every 20 boys go ing to France' will come home again. Every month the heavy artillery spreads a more effective curtain be tween the advancing infantry and the enemy. You are going into a zone of extreme risk, and to say that you will not be in peril would be to take away in advance the glory of your perform ance But the figures from Canada (which is a fair example) indicate that you are not going to be trapped at sea, and that only a small percent age oi your comrades are going to be put away by the Germans, and there is no need of assuming that all the breaks of luck are going to be against you instead of for you. Therefore we count on giving you a welcome home. Don't Get Too Cocky, "the training camps will put you in readiness to fight. After the fight ing is over you will find yourself up against the highl important' duty of going back to yemr own people and resuming the noal home life. Near ly every fighting man will have a wife or sweetheart waiting for him. When she is countless miles away, don t overlook the fact that she is pulling for you and hoping tor you and long ing for your return. When it comes time for you to return to her, don't be ashamed to meet her. "Another tip, which no young fel low should resent when it is offered by an older man w"ho has traveled in foreign parts: Remember that the 'Yank' has the reputation in Europe of standing on his hind legs and crow ing at the slightest provocation. We are supposed to blow too much about our native land, We are said to be 'cocky,' and credit ourselves with a slick superiority over the old-fashioned Europeans.

Sold in Omaha and recommended as the world's best corn remedy by gherman A McConnell Drug Co. Store. our citizens have overdeveloped the gift of loose conversation. "The 'typical American that Eu ropeans have discovered in popular fiction, moving pictures and standard melodrama is an effervescent com bination of cow puncher and Bowery boy. Just now the 'Sammy' is re ceiving an hysterical welcome. One year ago the people who pelt him with flowers were calling us pretty hard names. These impulsive affec tions art apt to be short-lived unless they are encouraged tactfully. Let us sincerely hope that the attentions crowded upon our boys will not cause a rush of blood to the head, enlarg ing it. "Every American soldier landing in France or England has a golden op portunity to show his horse sense by being somewhat of a diplomat. You are going to meet the worn and bat tered veterans who have stood the brunt of a three years' deadlock. Don't advertise that you are about to step in and do something which they failed to do. Don't be too specifie iq your assurances of what you are going to put over. Wait and put something over and then speak in the past tense. Don t patronire the men who were being scorched in the fiery furnace while you sat in the drug store at home, consuming ice cream sodas. Up on your toes yes! But don't wear your plumes until you have earned "them." Surely no level-headed young sol dier will be bored or offended by such gentle reminders as the foregoing. The future rating of the United States will be determined by the con duct of American soldiers in Europe during 1917 and 1918. The nations that we respect are prejudiced in our favor, for the first time in years. Let us show them the new kind of American quiet, decent, well-behaved, philosophical, self-controlled, good-natured, and, all the time, set upon doing, without osten tation, the important job assigned, to him. v ' Method Pursued in Converting Bonds Into Those of Other Issue Liberty bonds of the first issue, bearing 3A per cent interest, may now he converted in to4 per cent bonds Manager O. T. Eastman of the Omaha branch of the Federal Reserve bank has received instructions as to how these first bonds may be converted to bonds bearing' the higher rate of in terest, guaranteed at the time they were issued. Beginning November 15, the bonds of the first are to bear the same rate of interest as the second issue, namely 4 per cent. The first and more desir able method of conversion is to turn in the bonds, cr interim certificates to the Federal Reserve bank, or to the Treasury department at Washington, on or before November IS, but not earlier than November 8, and all sub scribers for these Bonds who have not yet received them, can most, con veniently arrange the exchange by go ing to the bank with whom they made their subscription and giving stJch bank, or building and loan association, instructions as to their wishes in the matter. The banks or associations will then attend to all of the details. The IVi per cent rate will apply up to November 15 and all bonds issued November IS will have a special coupon attached, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent for the 30 days from November IS to December IS, after which time the regular coupons will be for interest at the rate of 4 per cent payable every six months. In cases where arrangement for conversion is not made before Novem ber IS, a second form of conversion arranges for the exchange from 3' per cent to 4 per cent as of December 15. Special arrangements have been made for the conversion of the bonds between December IS, 1917, and up to and including May IS, 1918. This, however, is a more complicated form and all subscribers are urged to make arrangement either direct or through their banks, for the exchange between November 8 and November 15 of this year.

RED CROSS WILL DISTRIBUTE FAIRLY Equitable Methods Will Be Em ployed in Dispensing of Knit Goods to Soldiers and Sailors, is Pledge. An equitable distribution of sweat ers and garments being made by mem bers of the Red Cross lor soldiers and sailors is one of the questions con fronting the Red Cross of the entire country, according to Mrs. Charles G, King, Chicago, superintendent of gen eral supplies of the central division. Speaking before the annual confer ence of the Nebraska State Red Cross conference, which began yesterday and closes today, t. King pleaded with the delegates to trust the na tional organization, by sending every thing they knit for the soldiers to the central division in Chicago, "where an accurate rccond is being kept of cloth ing donated to the soldiers and sail or." The custom of sending these articles directly to the men in khaki, Mrs. King declared, has resulted in some men receiving more than their share of clothing. The time of the Red Cross confer ence was taken up with speeches and answering questions. The ten speak ers scheduled to talk, closed their addresses with an invitation to the audience to ask questions on their particular. line of work . Mr, King, who has charge of the knitting, comfort kits, etc., was the target for hundreds of questions fired at her by the delegates. Visit the Balloon School. Gould Diets took charge of several of the Chicago delegates Wednesday afternoon, escorting them to Fori Omaha where the mysteries of the balloon school were explained. Seveial Omaha members of the Ne braska Ked Cross have declared their intention of attending the conference of the central division of the Ked Cross to be hold in Chicago, Novem ber 7 and 8 This crnterence will be attended by national leaders of the organization, including Henry. P. Dav ison, chairman of the war council, and Harvey Gibson, Washington, D. C, Red Cross leader. Mrs. ',. T. Lindsey, Mist Nellie C U vin and Mrs. C. V. Wilhchn are Oma. ha people who have signified their intention of attending and their nun, her probably will be augumented bjr other Nebraska women. The selection of a delegate from Nebraska to attend the Chicago School of Civics, a Red Cross institu tion, for a course of six weeks cov ering work of a civilian relief charac ter, will probably be piade duringjhe ' conference. Dr. C. E. rrevey, secretary of tbe Social Welfare board, Lincoln, is men tioned in this connection, and should he decline, he will recommend an al ternate. . 'Civilian relief, a factor which U be coming important in Ked Cross (work will be the main subject of the con ference today. It is the desire of the central division delegates to set'clear ly before the ,-"ebraska conference what cases can be touched by the Red Cross.
