-—— ■ II - I I I ■ ■ !■ I I 1 Vll' " *' 'I HELP SAVE GERMANY’S STARVING CHILDREN! - A campaign has been launched in Omaha and in the State of Nebraska to raise funds for the starving chil dren of Germany. One of the strongest committees that ever handled a campaign in Omaha is directing the work of rais ing the money. Mr. Frank B. John son of the Omaha Printing Company | is chairman, and Mr. Carl R. Gray president of the Union Pacific Sys tem, is vice chairman. The following is the committee: W W. Head, Ford E. Hovey, C. T. Kountze, James C. Dahlman. F. W. Judson, T. C. Byrne, Frank Keogh Randal) K. Brown, N. P. Updike, A. J Eggerss, O. H. Barmettler. M. C.! Peters, George Brandeis, Henry Door-1 ly, Joseph Polcar, Ballard Dunn, F. A. i Brogan, Henry Monsky, Dr. Frank j Smith. Carl R. Gray, E. Buckingham W. A. Fraser. Frank B. Johnson, E. F. Waterbury and Harry A. Wolf. The campaign to be conducted here is a part of a national program to save the more than seven million Ger man children from suffering and death because they are not able to get proper food and nourishment According to Chairman Johnson children are dying in the streets and homes of Germany because of lack of food. “Thouands of children will die and many thousands of them will .suffer a life worse than death unless quick aid is given them,” said Mr. Johnson. "The hospitals and public institu tions are now filled with under-nour ished children. We cannot do any thing else but hear their cries and pleas for aid. These children had nothing to do with bringing on these conditions. They are its victims.” Car! R. Gray is one of the most enthusiastic workers in the campaign "I am interested because America never waged a war against children,” said Mr. Gray. "We cannot turn a deaf ear to the cry of suffering hu manity. We must forget the past and help. By aiding these children we will show to the world our genu ineness for world-wide good will.” Mr. Gray said that during war time the government fed war prison ers and now that children of a former enemy country are dying for food, the people of America should come to their aid and save them from death. Solicitation by the executive com mittee wdll be limited to a selective list of business men. Donations may be made by mailing checks to Fred W. Thomas, First National Bank, who is treasurer of the campaign. National leaders of thought are taking part in this country-wide cam paign. The Chicago campaign was held under the direction of General Chas. G. Dawes, and the National Chairman is General Henry T. Allen who directed the American Army of Occupation in Germany. ADVICE TO THE MUNSON LINE Jewish Citizens Are In Business, You Know. This newspaper learns that the Munson Steamship Line gladly ac cepts Jews on board its ship bound for Nassau, but declines to give them rooms in the Nassau Hotel after they get there. Inasmuch as there is no other desirable hotel on the island that situation is not agreeable to those that suffer this stupid un American discrimination. It would be interesting to know why the Munson Line, a public cor poration, which, owns the hotel, con siders Jewish citizens desirable on board of its boats and acceptable in the dining room of the hotel, but re fuses to RENT ROOMS to them. Possibly, the facts being here made known, other Jewish citizens may .take interest in the matter. The Munson Line says to Jews “Our hotel is a little too good for say to the Munson Line, “Our freight is too good for you.” Something of that kind might bring the Munson Line gentlemen to their senses and make them take a little more seriously the Constitution of the United States and ordinary American decency, which oppose discrimination on religious grounds.—Chicago Even ing American. The above editorial presents an in teresting study as intimating a boy cott or withdrawal of patronage as an effective weapon against discrim ination. Think it over.—Editor. LOYALTY IS MOST IMPORTANT WORD Wins First Place in Lists of Six Supplied by Savants. Princeton.—That “loyalty" Ik the most important word in the English j language today Is the consensus of a J representative group of Princeton pro- j lessors, a noted Egyptologist and the j university proctor here. Tile question was raised in a discussion in a pre ceptorial meeting, and to settle the dls- j cussion Prof. Christian Gauss, director ; of public relations, recently made in quiry among eigtit professors, Proctor I Bovie and Dr. David Paton, the Egyptologist. President Hlbben when asked for a , list of six most important words in the ; language placed “loyalty" second only to "duty." Dean West of the Gradu ■ ate college, foremost American edu- j cator, and Dr. Joseph E. Itaycroft, di rector of ttie department of physical education, both ranked “loyalty" first, an intellectual and a physical author ity thus being at one in this choice. Three other men placed "loyalty’' either first or second in their six word lists—Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, professor of English literature and rowing coach; David Paton. Egyptologist, and Proctor Henry Bovie. Courage Next to Loyalty. “Courage" followed "loyalty" with four selections. Here again Dean West and Doctor itaycroft were at one in their choice. Prof. Duane Heed Stuart of the classics department also chose tills word as did Dr. Stewart Puton, brother of the Egyptologist and noted neurobiologist. Doctor Paton created quite a stir recently when he predicted that intercollegiate football must some day be abolished because of its com mercialism, but he attributed great virtue to the game as a means of at taining sportsmanship and courage. Although his chief interest is In edu cation, Dean West placed “knowledge" after "loyalty” and “magnanimity.” Dr. Henry van Dyke, formerly pro fessor of English literature at Prince ton, choxe common every day words such as “yes” and “no,” “the" and “a." David Paton concluded his list with “a catholic sense of humor" without which he said any man Is certain to take himself too seriously. The com plete word lists chosen follow : Complete Lists of Word*. President Hlbben, duty loyalty, honor, self-control, service, sacrifice. Dean West, loyalty, magnanimity, knowledge, energy, courage, humor. Dr. van Dyke, a, the. Is, no, yes, do. Prof. Edwin G.

Professor Stuart, sensitiveness, re straint, sportsmanship, courage, self knowledge, altruism. Doctor Spaeth, liberty, loyalty, sym pathy, justice, Intelligence, character. Dr. David Paton, loyalty (for friend ship's sake), charity (for charity's sake), work (for work’s sake), sport (for sport's sake), a catholic sense of humor. Dr. Stewart Paton, truth, con rage, perseverance, health, family, friends. Proctor Bovie. religion, loyalty, bom eaty, fairness, work, recreation.

J.—It cost Hudson county $7o.uhi to treat last person* who were bitten by dogs there last year, according to statements by Dr John Von Iter Keith, a veterinary sur geon, before the annual convention of the Veterinary Medical Association of New Jersey in Jersey City recently. Each person bitten had to undergo the Pasteur treatment, which costs the county $7.7. U. S. TO SELL RUGS ONCE OWNED BY CZAR Valued at $47,000 to Be Auctioned New York.—Persian rugs, valued at $47,000, will be sold at auction by the bureau of seizures of the customs de partment to cover unpaid duties and salvage charges. One story is that they were used as bangings In the pal ace of the late Czar Nicholas, although there is considerable mystery concern ing where they came from and ta whom they were consigned. One rug considered more valuable than the others is 54 by 79 Inches and Is said to be a perfect specimen of the weaver’s art. Interwoven In the strands of luxuriant color is a remark able likeness of the czar, seated on his throne, wearing his saber and full regalia as emperor of all the Rus sian. The belief that the rugs were used as hangings and not as floor coverings Is strengthened by this fact, since It is pointed out that no royal Russian would have walked on a like ness of the czar. The rugs are In the usual Persian colors, mulberry, red and blue, and are so fine they can be crumpled up almost as though they were silk. The rug bearing the woven Image of the czar was appraised at $20,000 by the cus toms officials. The only Identifying mark found on any of the rugs la on this one. In the comer under the czar’A left boot, are the Initiate W. A. B. and "Bagdad” together with some Oriental inscription. There is an Interesting story In con nection with the manner In .which these works of art fell Into the hands of the customs officers. Three years ago they were sent hers aboard the shipping board vessel Mas sick, which sprang a leak on the way and was salvaged. The ruga were con signed to Peter Deppel and were sent by the bank of Deval, Russia. Shipping board officials after con siderable difficulty found Deppel and Informed him that he could have his consignment on payment of bis shars of the salvage charge plus the Import tax, which altogether came to about $8,000. The ruga wars valued at $44^ 800 by the shipper. Deppel refused to pay the charges and shortly afterward disappeared. Ef forts to And him were fruitless and the rugs were removed from the cus tom house to the seizure room In the army base, Brooklyn. That was three years ago. Recently It was decided ta sell the rugs at auction to recover at least some of the losses entailed by the shipping board and to collect the Import tax. 1 EXPERT BARBERS USE I arroway) lllllflllllinitllltlHlMUIMlillltllllllllllllllllltltlllltMMMmtfltaiMKillMItlMItlMdM?
