Berlin (Yia London), Nov. 4.
Estimates of the Franco-British losses
during the four months offensive on
the Somn.e front emanating from
German general headquarter., in the
west give the losses in round num
bers as 600,000. The survey places
the British losses at 400,000 ar.U those
of the French at 180.000. The esti-j
mates, the 'survey says, are regarded i
as moderate in view of the fact that j
the British casualty lists admit losses
of 372,000 to the end of September.
The writer claims that each square
mile of territory recovered cost the
allies more than 5,000.
That the original purpose was to
get through, the writer .says, is
shown by the prodigious scale of the
preparation and the huge masses of
cavalry held in readiness to begin the
pursuit through the broken German
lines. The writer contends that the
claim of the entente allies that the
plan of the offensive was not to break
the German lines, but merely to re
lieve the pressure elsewhere by hold-1
ing fast a large part of the German
forces is only an afterthought in
vented to cover the failure of the of-1
fensive to reach its objective.

Repudiate the Insult Tuesday
One year ago last August, Joe Proebstle, secretary of the Brew
ery Workers' International Union, came to Omaha to atteno) the Ne
braska State Federation of Labor convention. While here he suc
ceeded in hornswoggling or corrupting thirty of the convention dele
gates into placing Organized Labor of Nebraska on record as being
the champion of the liquor and saloon industry.
As a result of the action of these thirty delegates, today in the win
dows of every saloon in Greater Omaha are large placards flaunting in
the face of the public and in our own faces this declaration : "ORGAN
IZED LABOR AGAINST PROHIBITION!"
There are no placards in the saloon windows declaring in Black
face type: Woodmen of the World against, Prohibition; Masonic Or
der against Prohibition ; Knights of Columbus against Prohibition ; Mac
cabees against Prohibition ; Knights of Pythias against Prohibition ;
Ancient Order of United Workmen against Prohibition; Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks against Prohibition; Modern Woodmen of
America against Prohibition; Odd Fellows against Prohibition or any
other citizen organization against prohibition.
Oh.no! Organized Labor Is the only citizen organization in Ne
braska that is placarded in the saloons as the champion of the saloon I
Shame on the men" who put Organized Labor in such a hole!
You union men of Omaha who have given the best years of your
lives to the cause of Organized Labor days and nights and weeks and
years of your time and money to improve and protect working condi
tions, to increase the respectability and character and standing of labor
what do you think of the advertising Organized Labor is getting in
the saloon windows of Omaha?
There is but one thing for every self-respecting Trade Unionist of
Omaha to do in the face of this contemptible insult to Organized Labor
and that is to show Joe Proebstle and his kind that you resent it by vot
ing for prohibition next Tuesday. Teach this impudent interloper from
Cincinnati that the men of Organized Labor of Omaha are as good as
the Masons, the Workmen, the Odd Fellows, the Woodmen, the Knights
of Columbus, the Elks and all the other respectable citizen organiza-
tions of this community.
FRANK A. KENNEDY.
The above editorial is from the Western Laborer of Saturday, November 4.
Mr Kennedy is the editor of one of the oldest labor papers in the country. Ha
voted against prohibition in Iowa in 1883, tn Nebraska in 1890, but will vote "Dry"
next Tuesday. Join him in this fight and resent an insult.
