CURFEW RINGS
FIRST TIME ON
"LIBERTY NIGHT"
Boys and Girls Must Be Off
Streets at 8 p. m. Starting
Wednesday; Police to Be
Watchful.
It is a coincidence that the new 8
o'clock curfew law will become ef
fective today, which will be "Lib
erty Day." It will, however, not
be Liberty day after 8 o'clock p. m.
for boys and girls less than 18 years
of age.
Two weeks ago the city council
passed an ordinance which makes it
a misdemeanor for persons under 18
years of age to be away from home,
unaccompanied, after 8 o'clock at
night The chief purpose of the or
dinance is to restrict roamings m
girls after nightfall, but the new law
will apply to boy well
Superintendent Kugel of the police
department has advised his chief to
notify captains and sergeants to in
struct patrolmen to enforce the law.
"In many cases I realize it will be
difficult for a policeman to determine
whether) a girl is less or more than 18.
but it will be his duty in cases of
necessity to ask the young woman,
"How old are you?" said Mr. Kugel.
. The superintendent of police laugh
ingly added that he had seen "girls"
on the streets appear as young as 18,
when as a matter of fact they were
nearer 28 years of age, and had also
seen 16-year-old girls who looked to
be 20.
Boys and girls who are accom
panied by parents or other respon
sible elders will not be amenable to
the new curfew law.
"I think it will work out for the
benefit of our youth and I believe
that Omaha parents should co-operate
in making this law effective," added
the superintendent of police.
Mrs. Rose M. Ohaus, superinten
dent of the Board of Public Welfare,
believes boys and girls less than 18
years of age should be home after 8
,p. m., unless accompanied by elders.
She contends that much trouble re
sults from young, people being t al
lowed to so about during the night
hours. .. . t -. ;

New York, Oct 23.Boy Scouts of
America in the first day of their four
day campaign on behalf of the second
Liberty loan, obtained pledges total
ing close to SJ.OUO.iXJU, according to
returns received today at the or
ganization's national headquarters
here. This achievement far surpassed
that of the first day of the scout cam
paign for the first bonds,' and James
E. West, chief scout executive, pre
dicted that by Thursday night more
than $50,000,000 will have been raised.

Huntington, W. V and Sunbury, i'a.
An additional subscription of $33,
500,000 by the Guaranty Trust com
pany of this city, combined, with
smaller ones and the overnight total,

German people, we must consider
briefly the German attacks, including
the capture' of Oesel, Dago and other
minor islands of the Finnish gulf.
"While no attempt has been made
to belittle the importance of the post-
. tioas gained by the enemy, we cannot
(ail to record that it is apparent that
the Germans undertook this expedi-
; tion with a view to bolstering up the
morale of the country, more par
ticularly in order to be able to meet
the impending difficulties which
' threaten to culminate in a renewed
cabinet crisis in the near future.

a success, which should be of a politi

"If the enemy had, any confidence
in being able to stem successfully the
tide of the allied advance in the west
. it would throw every ounce of its
1 strength in the balance in Flanders
and it possible by crushing the allied

- stated as his objective.
"Germany by extending its lines in
the east has merely aided to the
length of its line of communications

should cause us to have increased
confidence in final allied victory.
"It is evident that the terrible pun

' The seat of Russian government
will soon remove from Petrograd to
Moscow. ' The government will oc
cupy one of the buildings in the
Kremlin, the ancient capital.
The government takes the position
that it, is merely following the prece
dent set. by the French government
when it moved to Bordeaux in the
first year of the war.
The preliminary Parliament -will
convene in Petrograd and then move
to Moscow, where quarters will be
found for the diplomatic corps.
The determination to move the
government is said to be in keeping
with the belief of the chief of staff
that Petrograd is now in the direct
war zone.

Virtually every union in Greater Oma

Judge Leslie-in his decision re

in ; Omaha when the strike troubles
were at their height. He said he
found the evidence to show that the
principal acts of violence were on the
part of the teamsters.
The rights of labor unions in regard

VHEATLESS AND
BEEFLESS DAYS
OBSERVED HERE
Restaurant and Hotel Men
Agree to Food Conservation
Measures; War Time
. Foods Suggested.
T a. '
"Beefless Tuesday" and "whealess
Wednesday!' went into effect in, all
Omaha hotels Tuesday and will be put
in. operation in the restaurants of the
city next week along with other con
servation measures.
A half inch of sugar left in the bot
tom of your coffee cup proves you are
unpatriotic. "They do it just so we
won't make money," said John W.
Welch, oroorietor of the Welch cafes,
at the conservation meeting of the
Omaha restaurant keepers at tne rax
ton hotel. "The fact of the matter is
that they are robbing our soldier boys
and our allies of the sugar they need.
I have seen men take a handful of
lump sugar and put it in their pock
ets. But they have to pay for it any
way, as it increases our expense and
makes us raise prices.".
The restaurant men were called to
gether Tuesday by Dick Kitchen, jr..
of' the Paxton hotel for a conference
with J. L. Letton of the state food
administration in regard to fixing and
observing the "beefless Tuesday" and
wheatless Wednesday. Restaurant
men were asked to sign a pledge card
making them members of the United
States Food Administration and
bound by its recommendations.
Suggest Reduced Portions. t
A "general plan" circular was hand
ed out, suggesting war menus. The
menu suggests reduced portions of
beef, mutton and pork and adds that
these "arw portions" should be sewed
at reduced prices. -
Breads from corn, rye or mixed
flours are recommended. "We have
been experimenting with bread made
from whole wheat flour," said J. W.
Welch, "and we find that it makes 'a
better tasting bread. The use of the
whole wheat saves 15 pounds of white
wheat flour out of every 100 pounds
used. You get more weight per loaf
and more loaves. The railroads are
using a mixture of 70 per cent wheat
flour and 30 per cent corn and rye
flour with very good results."
The restaurant keepers welcomed
the conservation suggestions as to re
ducing the serving of bread, sugar and
meat. No. discussion on the reduction
of prices occurred. It was suggested
that individual portions of sugar be
served and an additional charge
placed extra helpings.

He spoke of the Liberty loan as a

larged on the necessity for avoiding

they have not tasted white bread for
six months. He said that Chicago was
the food capital of tne world and that

would subscribe to the Joan, even, if it
