Allies Masters of Air.
On the French Front in France,
July 18. Notable work has been done
by allied aviators during the, new
German offensive. The bombarding,
observation and battle planes have
been constantly busy and the mastery
cf the air has been maintained
throughout.
The air forces' constantly harassed
the attacking columns of the enemy
and supplied information from mor
ment to moment the French staff.
One of the principal elements which
worked toward bringing the German
offensive to a halt was the splendid
co-operation of the transport and in
formation services. In Champagne,
lorry . drivers passed four days and
nights without, a moment s repose,
hurrying troops from one section of
the line to another, often under heavy
lire. . ,: '."''' '
Carrier pigeons proved most impor
tant in the Champagne fighting, where
the French advance posts were often,
cut on trom the main body. I he
birds constantly' "brought back mes
sages concerning movements of the
Germans. In one instance a pigeon
brought a request that French artil
lerymen fire on a position occupied by
their own comrades, because the Ger
mans were surrounding them.- The

The Bee's Fund For
Free Milk and Ice
There is no "overhead expense" in
The Bee's fund. Every dollar that you
give to it brings a full dollar's worth
of pure milk or cooling ice to some
poor, worthy family, where babies and
small children are battling against
the sickness and discomforts of hot
weather.
It is precisely the same as though
you gave these poor little ones the
milk with your own hands.
And there are so many of them
who are in real need of the nourish
ment that a little money will buy. If
you only could see some of the homes
and see the gratitude with which the
poor receive the milk and ice that
bring health to their little ones.
There is no way in which money
can be spent to better purpose than
m this good fund. Send or bring your

BROKERS CHEER
ALLIES' SUCCESS
AND BUY STOCK
Prices Soar on New York Ex
change' and Spirit of Op
timism Spreads Through
Financial District.
By Associated Press.
New York, July 18. The news that
American troops had victoriously ad
vanced in the western front prompted
an almost unparalleled outburst of
enthusiasm on the floor of the stock
exchange today. Brokers yelled and
cheered and bought stocks. Prices
soared.
The market, which took a sharp
upward trend almost at the opening,
remained active, with still rising
prices, until the closing hour, when
as the success of the allied drive be
came more fully known the buying
became still more vigorous.
The spirit of optimism spread
throughout the financial district, bank
ers and brokers remaining at their
offices long after the close of the
market in their desire to receive later
war bulletins.
A highly significant feature of the
bond market was the activity and
strength of foreign flotations, es
pecially Paris 6s, which rose 3 poiits.
Issues of this class have always been
extremely sensitive to changes in
the foreign military situation.
The advance in stocks encompassed
all the active issuts in the several war
groups, as well as numeroos special
ties of a semi-war character.

sands of persons on the streets heard
the blasts and, having read the head
lines in the extra editions of the new
papers, threw up their hats and shout
ed with delight.
On the Board of Trade all business
was halted while cheering groups
gathered about the bulletin board.
In the city hall also the only sub
ject of the conversation was the ex
tent of the victory.
The news was telephoned to the
Great Lakes naval training station
and 250,000 jackics ripped up the place
with cheers. At Camp Grant there
was just one note lacking for com
plete joy the men were regretful at
not being in the battle.

RABBI KRASS IN
OMAHA TALKS FOR
JEWISHRELIEF
Addresses Business Men at
Chamber of Commerce at
Noon and B'nai B'rith .
in Evening.
Dr. Nathan ;Krass, rabbi of the
Central synagogue. New York City.'j
addressed Omaha Jews at the Cham
ber of Commerce yesterday and told
;hem that $100,000 is the fair and just
and expected contribution of Omaha
to Jewish relief work for 1918.
Dr. Krass is one of the most bril
liant and distinguished of the younger
rabbis of America and his wit, elo
quence and logic are a powerful factor
in raising the great sums which have
been given by the Jews for war relief
work. He is en route to the Pacific
coast in the interests of this work.
"There are unplumbed depths of
generosity in the Jewish heart," said
Dr. Krass. "Other cities have
astounded themselves. When I went
to Baltimore and told them their
share was $350,000, one leader there
told another he thought I must be
chaplain of a lunatic asylum instead
of a rabbi. But Baltimore raised
more than $460,000. When we told
Newark that its share was $200,000
they laughed so loud it could be'ncard
almost in New York. Then they
vyent to work and raised $280,000, The
small Jewish community of Wilming
ton, Del., with a quota of $75,000,
raised $140,000. ,
"Omaha will do the same. I know
there are many who raise their eye
brows at mention of any such sum.
But. that is your quota, arrived at by
intimate study and knowledge of con
ditions. As a rabbi, I am familiar
with the Talmud and Gemara, but I
am also familiar with Dun's and
Bradstreet's. We know what each'
man ought to give.
"You have done splendidly in 1917
You will do better in 1918. A short,
intensive drive -will get the! results.
And don't forget the publicity. Keep
the pr.ess in active co-operation with
you. ;
