fcger Here in Interest of
rood Pledge Week Re
turns to Capital
Throughout Omaha and the state,
the Nebraska food pledge campaign
received the widest publicity through
the generosity of The Omaha Bee,
the other city dailies and the weekly
press," said Edward H. Foot, who was
assigned by the Washington office of
the United States food administration
to assist in the Nebraska drive.
Mr. Foot has been in the city and
Saturday left for Washington, where
he will be assigned to other duties,
Ht was here two weeks and before
leavmg, said:
The Nebraska pledge campaign ts
unique in many features. First: In
the difficulties encountered; the arous
ing of interest over so large a terri
tory, with a portion sparsley settled;
the abundant crops, making the awful
scarcity in other countries hard to
realize; Nebraska's long distance from
the sea, removing the fear of direct
invasion, even should the war be
brought to the Atlantic sea coast.
Officials Congratulated.
Next in the personnel of its work
ers, under the inspiring leadership of
Federal Food Administrator Wattles,
State Campaign Chairman McKelyie
and Merchants' Representative Cliff
Crooks, Frank Boyd and Harry O.
Palmer in Omaha, and J.C. b. Mc
Kesson and Edwin Jeary in Lincoln;
and county central committees in all
parts of the state, who carried their
organization to the remotest hamlets.
Most strikingly in the heroic attitude
of thousands of children, to whom
sweets and dainties mean so much,

Shoot at Bird, Hit Man,
Six Youths Land in Jail
Six youngsters, ranging from 11 to
14 years, were shooting at sparrows
near the' old water plant at Seventh
and Burt streets. One shot missed
the sparrow at which it was aimed,
but found its mark in the back of
James O'Connor, 712 Burt street, who
was working in his back yard.
The shot was fired from a m
caliber rifle, so O'Connor's wound is
merely a flesh bruise and not serious.
v He was taken to St Joseph hospital
The six boys were rounded up by
police officers and taken into custody
upon charges of incorrigibility. The
six lads are Otto Sabata, 1732 South
Thirteenth, S years; Anton Zellenki,

Enemy Cost $1,
U. S. Cost 914.30,
For One Soldier
Washington, Nov. 3. Germany is
putting 14.3 soldiers into the field for
the same amount of money which the
United States is paying for a single
fighting man, according to calcula
tions today of government experts.
They said the same general propor
tion was true also of maintaining the
armies in the field, or, in other words,
America must raise $14.30 where the
enemy nations raise only $1 for the
purpose of carrying on the war.
The difference was said to be due
to the higher pay of United States
soldiers and the greater cost of sup
plies in this country.
Sleep Walking
May Prove Fatal
For Aged Woman
While walking in her sleep Mrs.
Dorcus Grout, 88 years old, fell from
the second floor window of her daugh
ter's home at 3328 South Twenty
fourth street. She received a double
fracture of both ankles.
Mrs. Grout was found when her
screams awoke the daughter's hus
band, E. J. Knapp, superintendent of
the Vinton street car house. The at
tending physician, Dr. Elizabeth Ly
man, said Mrs. Grout would probably
not recover because of the shock.
Although it has been known that
Mrs. Grout sometimes walked in her
sleep, she had never suffered an acci
dent of any kind before. Despite her
age, she was very active.

ITALIAN REVERSES
NOT TO DECIDE WAR
Lord Robert Cecil Says Strug
gle Is Economic One; Spirit
of Italy Is Still
Untouched.
(By Associated PrM.)
London, Nov. 3. Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of blockade, in his
weekly talk with The Associated
Press, declared today that there is
not the least reason to suppose that
the Italian reverses will affect the
result of the war.
"What lias happened may affect the
duration of the war or it may not,"
Sir Robert said. "Sooner or later the
economic side of the war is as likely
as anything else to produce the de
sired effect, according to the extent
of the resources of the allied powers
and the enemy to carry on an
economic offensive.
In this connection, Lord Robert
pointed out the great preponderance
of the entente allies' resources. He
added:
"The central powers already are In
very precarious condition. I see
nothing but greater economic ruin for
them after the war, the longer it
lasts."
He declared that the allies are do
ing, and will do, all possible for
Italy and would regard the battle
fronts in all the war theaters as one
comprehensive front.
"What has hapened only means that
Purple Postage Stamps
Sought After by Many
Men and women stood all Fri
day before the atamp windows in
the postoffice. Just why they should
flock to the postoffice on the in
auguration day of the new 3-cent
stamp act would puzzle a psycholo
gist. "They've been there all day and
the day before," said the clerk.
"They seem to want to try the new
style in stamps."
Everybody ia Omaha, seemingly,
wanted to send a letter with a pur
ple stamp on it to some favored
correspondent.
"Aren't they artistic," gushed a
young woman dressed in purple.
"They jirst match my new suit.
Those old pink ones never matched
anything, These are a, great improvement."
we other governments must make
stronger exertions," he said in con
clusion. "We cannot afford to neg
lect any chance. Our information is
that the spirit of Italy is untouched
and that there is no sign of disagree
ment or panic at the reverse, but only
a strengthened determination to finish
the fight."
Sanger Changes His
Plea to Not Guilty
B. II. Sanger, South Side, who
pleaded guilty to violation of the
Reed amendment in bringing sixty
quarts of whisky from St. Joseph to
Omaha, withdrew his plea and en
tered one of not guilty when he was
brought before Judge woodrough
Saturday morning.

Italians Feel Sure
They Can Whip Huns
London, Nov. 3. James Ian
MacPherson, parliamentary secre
tary to the war office, in a written
reply to certain newspapers, today
declared that no doubt had been
expressed by Geenral Cadorna or
the Italian government to the Brit
ish general staff of the Italians'
ability to meet the Austro-German
attack, which they knew was about
to be made against them. No re
quest was received from Italy for
help before the attack took place,
the secretary added.
