BELGIUM TO RESUME
PLACE, SAYS WILSON
Belgian Mission Received at
Washington and President
Promises Restoration.
Washington, June 19. In greeting
Belgium's war mission Monday Presi
dent Wilson expressed America's
solemn determination that on the in
evitable day of victory, Belgium shall
be restored to the place she has so
richly won among the self-respecting
and respected nations of the earth.
The commissioners passed the first
day in Washington paying official
calls. Secretary Lansing accompanied
them to the White House where
Baron Moncheur, head of the mission,
handed to President Wilson a per
sonal letter from King Albert and
expressed in a short address Bel
gium's gratitude for America's aid.
"Since the first days of the greatest
tragedy which has ever befallen hu
manity," said the baron, "Belgium has
contracted an immense debt of grati
tude to the generous American na
tion. The initiative of American citi
zens gave to the unfortunate victims
of German cruelty in Beligum the
most splendid evidences of generosity-
"But the chivalrous sentiments
which animate the people of the
United States went farther than this
when President Wilson giving an ad
mirable example of disinterested
power, uttered the words well fitted
to make up tremble with hope and to
cause us to fix our eyes confidently
upon the starry banner which has be
come more than ever the symbol of
strength placed at the service of the
Whrst and most oure orincinles.
"Leaning upon the young, strong and
generous hand which the American
people holds out to her, Belgium
will arise and, throwing aside the
odious weight of foreign occupation
will, courageously and proudly, re
sume the path of progress in the light
of the sun of liberty.
President Wilson, thanking Baron
Moncheur and through him King Al
hert. said in renlv:
"Your excellency is good enough to
express the thanks of the Belgian peo
ple lor me parucipauuu ui amcui-a
in feeding the people of your stricken
country. This work is one which has
brought as much of benefit to them as
to the innocent civilian population
which it was intended to aid.
"America engaged upon this work
as being the only means of expressing
our deep and sincere admiration for
the valiant nation that had gone forth
unhesitatingly to meet the onslaughts
of a ruthless enemy rather than sacri
fice her honor and her self respect.
"The American people have been
able to understand and glory in the
unflinching heroism of the Belgian
people and their sovereign, and there is
not one among us who does not today
welcome the opportunity of express
ing to you our heartfelt sympathy and
friendship, and our solemn determina
tion that on the inevitable day of vic
tory Belgium shall be restored to the
place she has so richly won among
the self-respecting and respected na
tions of the earth."
No Official Totals Yet
Given on Liberty Loan
Washington, June 18. The full ex
tent of the nation's response to the
Liberty loan was still in the realm of
conjecture tonight, although indica
tions were that the estimate of $2,800,
000,000 would be substantially correct.
Cholera Morbus.
This is a very painful and danger
ous disease. In almost every neigh
borhood someone has died from it be
fore medicine could be obtained or a
physician summoned. The right way
is to have a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the
house so as to be prepared for it. Mrs.
Charles Enyeart, Huntington, Ind.,
writes: "During the summer of 1911
two of my children were taken sick
with cholera morbus. I used Cham
berlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy
and it gave them immediate relief."

Red Cross activities are every
where in evidence in Omaha. The
leaders in the movement here are los
ing no opportunity to get the great
work before the people. O. T. East
man spoke on the work at the ban
quet given by the Commercial club
to the visiting editors from Iowa and
Nebraska at the Commercial club
rooms Monday. He spoke of the
success of the Liberty loan campaign,
but said that that was a past matter,
and gave most of his time to what is
yet to be accomplished in Omaha
and Nebraska for the Red Cross
Tonight at Happy Hollow club,
where the Nebraska and Iowa editors
are to be entertained, Judge W. D.
McHugh and T. C. Byrne are to out
line the campaign to the editors and
publishers of the state.
To Tell of Necessary Work.
Instead of making typical after-
dinner speeches oi tun and trolic,
these men will go before the editors
with solid facts concerning what
work is to be done to raise thebig
fund necessary to carry on the great
work of mercy in this war through
the Red Cross organization.
Nearly 200 Boy Scouts met at the
Commercial club with Scout Execu
tive English and various scout mas
ters to talk over plans for Boy Scout
activities in the Red Cross campaign.
Now that the scouts raised consider
ably over $100,000 for the Liberty
loan, they feel they can do big things
for the Red Cross, and they will have
a part in taking subscriptions.
Mayor Dahlman. Ward Bureess and
John Cogan spoke to the boys on
the work.
Wattles Asks All to Help.
The duty of every man in assisting
the Red Cross work and the awful
results that are certain to follow
"slacking" were emphasized by G. W.
Wattles, chairman of the finance
committee, at a meeting at the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange yesterday:
Mr. Wattles said in part:
"We call the young man, who fails
to volunteer or register for service at
the call of his country, a 'slacker.' Be
it said to his credit that less than 1
per cent of the young men of the na
tion have failed to perform their duty
in this regard. The small number
who have failed are now being ar
rested and treated as criminals.
A name has not yet been coined to
adequately describe the citizen be
yond military age, who fails at this
critical time to perform his full duty.
blacker is too mild a' term traitor is
probably a little too severe, although I
by failing to give the necessary fi
nancial support to furnish Red Cross
nurses, ambulances and hospitals for
the young American soldiers, who will
lie bleeding and dying on foreign bat
tlefields within a few months, will fur
nish the enemy with aid and comfort,
and this is defined by the laws of the
nation as treason.
"It is difficult for me to refrain
from expressing the contempt I feel
for the man who refuses either to give
or to assist in this great movement. A
few. and I am glad to say onlv a few.
of the business men of Omaha have
said to me during the last week of
preparation, I am sorry, I would like
to help in the campaign for funds, but
I am too busy.'
"What would you think of the man
who gave this excuse as the reason
why he could not help you bury your
child, or assist in the removal of your
wife to the hospital in the hour of her
extremity?
"T am to- busy' how disgusting!
Too busy doing what? Is making a
few dollars of more importance than
saving the life of your son or your
neighbor's son, who in a few months
will lie bleeding on foreign battle
fields from wounds in fighting your
battles and mine?
"Thank God, all business men are
not too busy to stop and make the
necessary preparation to take care of
these young men, save tiieir lives it
possible.
The Cost of Defeat.
"If the enemy should triumph in
this war now being fought on foreign
shores with the aid of other great na
tions. we must know that the war
will be finished on our shores, where
we will tight without the aid of other
nations, which have been defeated.
"The question then will he, can we
defeat the arch-enemy of the liberties
of the world?
"If not, gentlemen of South Omaha,
you arc liable to find other uses for
these stock yards here than the uses
they have served in years gone by.
"The male population of Belgium
has been gathered into pens similar
to these cattle pens here and shipped
away to foreign lam, while the wives
and children have been lett to starve.
The excuse then, that, T am too
busy' will be of little avail. Regard
less of your station, regardless of
your business, regardless of your
home ties, or obligations it you are
treated like the Belgians, you will go
when ordered."
Nation Takes Up Task.
Washington, June 18. America to
day turned to the task or raising $100.
000,000 for the Red Cross in an
eight day campaign.
With the campaign only one day
old, telegrams poring into the office
of the Red Cross war council to
night told stories of generous dona
tions in almost every section.
Hundreds of public meetings were
held today and tonight with some of
the country's foremost men among
the speakers. Military or civic pa
rades were arranged to aid in col
lecting funds, which will he used both
for American soldiers and sailors and
for relief work in war stricken dis
tricts of Europe.
A few corporations withheld divi
dends until today and paid them with
the recommendations that proceeds
be donated to the Red Cross. Presi
dent Wilson telegraphed Mayors of
100 cities urging them to devote their
efforts to helping the solicitation
work in their communities.
Miss Ruth Law, who made airplane
flights tor the Liberty Loan flew
over West Virginia towns today,
dropping "bombs" containing Red
Cross campaign literature.
The war council tonight completed
arrangements by which Miss Kath
erine Stinson, a young woman who
recently gave flying exhibitions for
the emperor of japan and the presi
dent of Ch ina, will fly from Buffalo
