C. of C. Endorses Move.
The executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce has endorsed
the move and the club is sending out
letters to all members asking that
they have all their employes vacci
nated. Following ivthe letter being sent
out by Health Commissioner Connell
to business houses, setting forth the
request of the government and the
further reasons for immediate vac
cination of all who have not been
recently vaccinated:
"The governor, the state health
commissioner and Major Crowder of
the Uuited States government, at
Washington, have requested me, as
health commissioner of Omaha, to
stamp out the epidemic of smallpox
now prevailing in our city.
' ' there is no effective way of
ex-ept by general vaccina
tion u. '..'! our citizens, an appeal
has-been made by the Chamber of
Commerce to all employers, for .them
to see thaf;jall;r their employes, are
vaccinated, and r 1- ' ': ;
Neglected In K. C. v
"Whereas, if active measures are
adopted at once for the control of
the present epidemic, our city will bt
spared the situation now existing in
Kansas City, which neglected uni
versal vaccination until recently, and
where since the first of January, 1918,
there have been over 3,000 cases of
smallpox with seven deaths from that
disease. During the last month some
100,000 people have been vaccinated
there, and,
"Whereas, an emergency exists and
every one of our citizens should re
Ipond to every reasonable request
made by our government:
"I, therefore, order all your em
ployes vaccinated (excepting those
who have beer, successfully vacci
nated during the last three years, and
those who have had smallpox;, ana
request you to.so notify them of this
oraer, ana :mg.Kq arrangements iui
them to be vaccinated as soon as
possible. "-' -
"Any persons not able to pay for
the vaccination can be vaccinated at
;he health office between 8:30 and
noon, free of charge."

U.S WANTS PHOTO
OF BARBEQUE FOR
BOYS IN KHAKI
Compiling Records in Pictures
of Activities Over the Coun
try in Preparing for
War.
A pictorial history of the war is
being compiled by the Historical
branch of the Army War college,
Lieutenant-Colonel C. W. Weeks
chief of staff of this department, has
written to the Omhaa Bee asking its
co-operation in gathering photo
graphs to illustrate local war activi
ties.
Omaha furnishes a fertile field for
patriotic pictures. Immediately after
the declaration of war, several di
visions of the Nebraska National
Guard mobilized in Omaha. The
Fourth Nebraska took up headquar
ters at Sixteenth and Farnam, the
machine gun company of the Fifth
was quartered at Keep's academy, and
several companies of the -newly or
ganized Sixth, as well as the principal
headquarters, was located in Omaha.
Barbeque at Park.
The first war pictures taken in
Omaha were the personnel of these
organizations, their officers, scenes of
their temporary quarters, military in.
spection, mascots, the big barbeque
at Riverview park given by the Sixth,
the Liberty parade to advertise the
photoplay "The Battle of the Tanks,"
military inspections, the public fare
wells, the entraining of the troops
for Camp Cody, Deming, N. M.
' These are just the kind of pictures
Uncle Sam wants for his big war
scrap book. .The next chapter of lo
cal history he wishes centers about
the establishment of the Omaha am
bulance company now in training at
Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky. A fea
ture of this organization's mobiliza
tion at the municipal auditorium was
a public exhibition of their drills and
work.
Show the Draft Army.
Registration day, the draft army,
its departure, the exemption claimants,
the exemption boards, form a large
part of Omaha's war story.
The government pictorial historian
will certainly devote matiy pages to
the unique ballooa. school the first
and until very .recently the only one
in the countrjN
The six sons of the late James Mi
Shane, whose enlistment was rec
ognized by a personal letter to their
parents by President Wilson, is an
other exceptional feature.
Organization of the Nebraska Red
Cross, its heads, women in the Red
Cross uniform, newly fitted work
rooms, Omaha chapter activities, the
ball given for funds at the Fontenelle.
The organization of the National
League for Woman's Service, their
registration of all Nebraska women
for war service, and other works will
form a chapter in pictorial history.
War Gardens.
Omaha's men called to training
camps for the Officer's Reserve corps
affords one of the most interesting
features. Omaha's response to the
government's command to raise war
gardens and dry, can and preserve
products was so enthusiastic that the
whole country patterned canning
schools and drying plants after Oma
ha. The work of the food adminis
trator, including neighborhood meet
ings, house to house canvasses by the
Boy Scouts, offer opportunity for pic
torial history.
Visits of the French nijssion, Secre
tary McAdoo, "General Wood, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, Helen
Fraser, and othe- war workers are in
cidents of worth in records of war ac
tivities. 1
Fort Crook, at which is -stationed
the 41st infantry, local Liberty loan
work drives war savings campaigns
by the Young Men's Christian
association and the Young Women's
Christian association for huts and
houses at army camps. Red Star,
Blue Star and, other patriotic cam
paigns are subject matter for
many views which will be sent by
The Bee to the war college tri repre
