6 A SOUTH SIDE CNUDDE WANTS TO ENLIST AND AVENGE BELGIUM Young Giant Working at Cud- i ahy's Has Had No Word From Home Since War ' Began. j Alfonzo Cnudde, a registrant living at 5131 South Fortieth street, clench ed his fists as he told J. J, Breen, chairman of the South Side exemp tion board, that he'd like to get the kaiser by the throat. t Cnudde was born in Belgium and left his ljome there about six years ago to come to America. His famliy were poor and the son came to the new country with hope of sending : money and comforts to the home ; folks. He is a giant in size and had worked in the lumber mills in Waer- eghem, Belgium, so met with no T penter at the Cudahy packing house. He was sending money home. His parents,, si:: sisters and two brothers were all prospering, and he as plan- ;' ning a visit and possibly bringing his family to America with him on his return. , ' Then the world was startled by the quick declarations of war and Ger . many's rush into Belgium. One day, about three and a half years ago, he , ' received a letter from his father tell ' ing him that, as he wrote he could -i hear the thunder of the German guns as they cut out a path for the Ger ) man soldiers in their march through the little country. i Since then Cnudde has heard noth- Ing from his parents or relatives. He j , does not know if they are still living. The stories of Gerrnan atrocities in v, regard to their treatment of Belgian I women, caused him much worry, on ' account of his six sisters. , Cnudde will march away to war, -: and says if he ever meets the kaiser, : some of Belgium's wrongs will be - avenged. v i !

LEVEYIN CODRT Proprietor of Union Trading Company Arraigned on Charge of Swindling Score of Omaha Women. George Levey, charged with swind ling a score of Omaha housewives while operating the United Trading company, was arraigned before Police Judge Fitzgerald Saturday morning. Judge Fitzgerald scored Levey tor his alleged swindle. "I could send yon to jail for 30 days on each of fense, but that would not recom pense these people for the money they have spent, he said. "I will there fore continue this case one week, in which time I will expect you to start delivering furniture to these people. I v.'ill expect to see a record of some deliveries when you next appear be fore me." Judge Fitzgerald, City Prosecutor McGuire and Carl C. Katleman will see that the affairs of the company are settled, so that the investors can obtain something for the money ex pended. Judge Fitzgerald also criticized the women present for venturing into such a club. "There are many reput able furniture houses in Omaha at which ycu can buy furniture, good furniture, at reasonable prices. But when a man comes to you with a proposition by which. you can buy furniture at about one-half the mar ket price, you should realize that it is not on the square "Payments on contracts already entered into with this firm will be ac cepted at the legal aid office of the welfare board. There will be no further orders taken, as the business has been closed, but we wil' endeavor to give you some return for the money you have invested.

While H the Liberty loan drive there was no limit to the amount that might be subscribed by an in dividual, the limit this time is $1,000.

NEED FOR HASTE OR THE GERMANS CONTJ. RUSSIA Dr. Fling Says Slavs Have No Government Today and Are Likely to Come Under Dom ination of the Kaiser. Prof. F. M. Fling of the Univer sity Nof Nebraska lectured Friday in the court house on "The Russian Debacle." Dr. Fling traced the course of events in Russia from the de thronement of the czar to the Keren sky government and then to the present Bolsheviki regime. "There is no government worthy the name in Russia today," he said. "The men know nothing of the re lations of nations. They are doing away with all manner ol sane govern ment. But it should be remembered that the Bolsheviki do not control all Russia. They hav; merely that old part comprising Petrograd and Mos cow. "President ' Wilson's recent utter ance regarding the allies' duty toward Russia is something we have waited long to hear. His view that the Rus sians must be helped along as best we can is eminently correct. If the allies abandon Russia now with the idea that Germany will make all the demanded concessions on the west font if she is allowed to do as she likes with Russia, Germany will be come thrice the menace in the future that she is now, ' "What the outcome of the Russian situation will be no man can say. Rus sia is helpless today. Peasants and workmen are making the most ridicu lous demands, asking and getting six hour days and $25 a week pay. Trans portation and all things that bind the nation together are demoralized. The army has disbanded. We must move very carefully now or Russia is in danger of becoming under the control of Germany.. "No real 'strong man' has yet been produced in Russia, but there is the possibility that out of chaos the great figure of '.he 'man on horseback' may arise to save her." Alleged "Snow Kings" Face Federal Grand Jury Walter Cummings, 419 North Thir teenth street, and Harry Rud-5ph, 1313 Capitol avenue, negroos. arrested by federal officers in a raid Thursday night and charged with selling "dope," waived preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Neely and were bound over to the federal grand jury under 52,500 Ijond each. They went to jail in default of bond. Ethel Bro-vn, colored, taken in the raid at Cummin' place, was bound over under $1,000 bond. Rudolph is already under $500 rash bond at Sioux City on a charge of bringing booze into Iowa. CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH TALKS My greuv b-wciss in tue elimina tion of disease is due to the fact that I find the cause of your trou ble and then adjust 'the cause in stead of treating the effects. The cause of every individual disease common to the human body is within the body, and the cure is there also. Eighty per cent of the opera tions could be avoided by taking Chiropractic adjustments, whether it be tonsilitis, appendicitis or in the very large clasa known as "Women's Diseases." After reading this article you may say all of this sounds too good to be true. I admit that these are broad statements, but I make them because they are facts and facts are impossible to contradict. My methods will stand thorough investigation. Hundreds of people after having tried about every thing else to no avail have found the relief they so long desired and unsuccessfully sought. Adjustments are $1.00, or 12 for $10.00. Outside calls made by appoint ment are $2.50. DR.

Pearson, chairman of the Omaha committee of the commission on car service, has issued an appeal to shipper and receivers to regard it as their patriotic duty to exoedite the unloading and release of railroad cars. "You are, I have ' no doubt, aware of the present shortage and vital needs of the railroad companies for all classes of equipment and you are also aware that a very small per cent of last year's crop of corn has been moved and that a large per cent of the corn is soft and unless cars are released with the utmost promptness many millions of bushels are going to spoil. The conserving of cars js just as essential to the conduct of the war as the conserving of food." The following telegram was re-' ceived by Mr. Pearson from Washing ton: , "By instruction of the director gen eral you are requested to make spe cial campaign on all roads in your ju risdiction. Make effort through news- papers, Duiietins ana circulars to agents, appeals to commercial noaies and otherwise as may be possible to unload and release cars with utmost promptness. This in order that rail roads may immediately increase effi ciency so vital to present needs." Home Economic Expert To Open an Office Here Miss Nellie Farnsworth of -Valley City, N. D., has been assigned by the federal government to promote home economics in Omaha this year in con nection with the food conservation movement. She is endeavoring to ob tain office space in the city hall or the court house before announcing her program. Miss Farnsworth has been identified with the University of North Dakota and is said to be a practical exponent of the work she has undertakehfor the government.

Third Exemption District May Escape Next Draft It is estimated that 1,500 legistrants -in the third exemption division will fail to return questionnaires and auto matically be placed in the army. About 2,000 questionnaires have been returned to the board due to a change in address. An average of 50 regis trants have been calling every day to report and obtain questionnaires before the time limit expires. As men failing to answer "question naires are picked up by government authorities and inducted into the army service they will be credited to the Omaha quota for the next draft. Many registrants in the third district are optimistic enough to hope that thisTiumber will be large enough to fill the next quota without any men being called from this district. Several called in August have recently re ported to avoid desertion charges.
