NATION-WIDE DRIVE
FOR WAR CAMP FUNDS
$3,750,000 to Be Raised to
- Provide Wholesome Town
Recreation Centers for
Soldiers in Training.
(By 'Associated Press.) (
' Washington, Nov. 4. Beginning to
morrow and continuing through the
week, there will be " in active swing
all over the United States a drive for
a fund of $3,750,000 to be raised by
the War Camp Community service.
Thousands of ministers will preach
on the importance to the morale as
well as the fighting spirit of the army,
of proper community service for the
men in uniform. This will open the
campaign; then, during the week,
through local committees organized
everywhere, cities and tows will
raise the quota assigned to them of
the total amount.
. The communities around the train
ing camps and the communities from
wnicn me men nave come andv to
which they will return after the war
will be gainers by war camp commun
ity service, which will help to keep
the men clean in body, mind and spirit
substituting aH sorts ot good club,
home and social entertainment to
take the place of harmful influences
to which the men otherwise might fall
Prcy.
To carry on this extensive work at
all army, navy and marine camps and
posts throughout the United States
there is needed a fund of $3,750,000.
i lie leisure hour activities of the men
when :.',ey remain in camp is well ta
ken care of by the Y. M. C. A., the
Knights of Columbus, and other or
ganizations. But the men leave camp whenever
they get opportunity "to go to town"
for the monotony of-camp life soon
grows wearisome and they need a
change; if-they did not get it they
would soon grow stale. The work
of the war camp community service is
to look ou for the welfare of the men
when they are outside camp, to see
that they have clean clubs an ' plenty
of other pood places to go; and when
they return to camp, instead of being
made unfit for service, they are keen
er in spirit and more desirous of
serving America, because of the, way
in which they have been received by
mc mncncaii people.
Two Thousand Dolls in Happy
Dinner Party at Burgess-Nash
Two thousand dollies in Omaha
had a perfectly lovely time Saturday
afternoon.
They put on their best doll sweat
ers and their most ruffly skirts and
came down to the Burgess-Nash store
to the big party in their honor. Of
course their little owners had to come,
too. so that made 2,000 more guests.
Nobody knows how much cake and
ice cream and candy their owners ate.
The dollies were hungry after their
ride downtown, you know. Some of
them came in limousines and some in
go-carts and all tightly clasped in the
arms of big-eyed beribboned owners.
Besides the refreshment&ihere were
toy balloons with nursery rhymes on
them for each little girl
If there were anyone who enjoyed
the party more than the tiny guests
it was the entire establishment of the
'Burgess-Nash company. Everybody
had a smile for the toddlers and all
crowded in when possible to see them
seated at the tables. There was specia
music, of course, suited to the dis-
tmguisnea guests, some musicians
played on the violm and piano just
the kind ot nice jiggy' tunes little
folks like. And then they sang Mother
Goose melodies that caused a turning
of curly heads and a clapping of chub
by hands.
The guests, both dollies and girlies,
were on time to the minute. Two hun
dred were seated at a time and their
tickets denoted the hour to come, so
there was no crowding. A few very
small brothers came, too, but every
one was .welcomed, mere was no
limit as to ages, so they ranged from
babies in inns who couldn't properly
appreciate the delicious ice cream to
big sisters.
Omaha certainly scores high in the
beauty and brightness of its children,
judging by yesterday s assemblages,
This is the third annual doll party
the liurgess-.ash store lias given.

of the best.. The .Bellevue college foot ball

Germans was so far gone they
couldn t holler Kamerad.
Were Deemed Impregnable.
1 lie Ocrnian high command insti
tuted the pillar-boxes for two reasons
rirst, the terrific barrage fife which
the British guns of all calibres sent
over before an attack reudered. even
tne deepest and most caretullv con
structed front line trenches untenable.
The Germans never made much of a
. e t f ...
pretence oi noitimg tneir nrst line in
the face of an attack, anyway; but by
means of these "pillboxes," which can
be constructed in a very short time
they succeeded in establishing a first
line ot defense which for a time
looked impenetrable. .
lhe second and chief reason whv
the General Staff turned its attention
seriously to these concrete structures
was that the mud of Flanders is no
place for trench warfare. Whenever
the Germans went down six feet
their trench systems thev found
themselves standinsr in water. Troon
could not live under such conditions
and something had to be devised
above ground.
It was this same jelly-like mud
however, which solved the fate of the
German pillar-box, even as it was
responsible for its institution. Be
cause, m most places, me mud was
so soft, and because, in manv olaces
water was only about two and a half
feet under the surface, foundations
tor these concrete structures could
only be sunk to a depth of about two
feet. Consequently, when a British
high explosive shell struck anywhere
in the vicinity there was imminent
possibility of the "pillbox" collapsing
tiKe a nouse ot cards and a few tons
ot concrete coming down on the gun
ners packed inside.
When the "pillbox" was first dis
covered in the German line of defense
east of Yores I had an interview with
a military authority, who informed me
that they would be tremendously dif
ficult to. cyercome. He was -frankly
pessimistic over the prospects of hav
ing to advance through this new form
ot detensive warfare.
Today that same authority told me
now tne pillboxes had been con
quered.
Accurate Gunnery Wins.
"You will remember that at the time
At. Mlt r- . ...
uic puiooxes nrst made their ap
pearance," he said, "I told you that
they represented a very serious ob
stacle to our advance in Flanders.
This seemed so at the time because
only a direct hit from a big gun could
put tnem out ot business.
'We have overcome the menace of
the pillbox by good military strategy.
uur success is mainly due to our accu
rate observation and good shooting.
We knew that only a big shell would
pur. one or tne beggars out ot com
mission, so we deliberately set out to
make, it possible for our iig guns to
find their marks, small as they were.
"Our aviators furnished us with the
most perfect, detailed photographs of
the whole area which was sewn with
these ' structures. Maps on a large
scale were constructed, and the sci
ence of artillery has become so exact
these days that our guhners'were able
to score many direct hits on these
small objects. When a direct hit was
scored, that was the end of the 'pill
box' and every one inside it. Even
when a high ixplosive shell failed to
land squarely on the structure, but ex
ploded near by, the concussion was so
great that the occupants, were put
hors de combat.
Operating, or assisting at the opera
tion oi, a macnine gun in one oi tnese
concrete structures is no sinecure,
German prisoners report that there is
the greatest difficulty in finding men
to occupy them. In many cases men
are literally driven into the "pill
bJxes" and kept inside by another
machine gun trained on the only
entrance and exit, which is in the
rear.

U. S. TO
14,000 NEW OFFICERS
Some to Be Placed on List Sub
ject to Call; Majors and
Captains Are Needed
Immediately.
. (By Associated rrraa.)
Washington, Nov. 4. Under plans
completed by the War department
for disposition of the graduates of
the second scries of officers', training
camps, which will close this month,
every man of the 19,000, who is
recommended for a commission either
will be commissioned at once or
placed on an eligible list subiect to
call.
The commissions, as was the case
with the graduates of the first camps,
will be in the officers' reserve corns
of the national army. On the eligible
list will be placed men who are above
the legal age for commission in the
reserve corps at the rank to which
their showing at the camps entitled
them. As there is no provisons for
an active national army commission
they will be put on an eliirible list
and will be commissioned in the na
tional army when their services are
needed. It is expected that there will
be only a small number & of such
men.
Not all of the men commissioned
when the camp closes will be called
to service immediately. In fact it was
pointed out today that many of
them, particularly the lieutenants,
might not be called to active service
until the second 500,000 men of the
national army are organized.
Officers in charge of the camps
are selecting l.UUU men between Z
and 27 years of age for commissions
as provisional second lieutenants in
the regular army. They will be at
tached to regular regiments for ad
ditional training and will be given
provisional commissions in their
grade in the regiments as vacancies
occur, the commissions to be con
firmed if they make good in active
service.
After these 1,000 are selected the
men remaining will be considered for
the signal corps and ordnance bu
reaus, which are in need of addi
tional officers. Those selected prob
ably w ill be called out immediately.
Virtually all of the majors and
many of the captains of the line com
missioned, when the camps close, will
be needed immediately. There are in
dications of a shortage of reserves in
this grade, which may make it neces-
nation." This was also given the
widest circulation, the paper stated.
General Murguia's neutrality inter
view was reprinted in both newspa
pers, 1 Democraa, admitting having
had the interview printed in poster
form and pasted on the walls of Mexi
co City.
"We have nothing to hope from the
united Mates on the day when they
shall become convinced that only our
poverty forces us to seek an alliance,
sending 100,000 combatants that are
needed at home," the Murguia inter
view concluded.

Germans in Mexico
Circulate Posters
Urging Neutrality
Juarez, Mexico, Nov. 4. Propa
ganda favoring neutrality for Mexico
in the European war is being cir
culated by the Germans in Mexico
and Chihuahua City, in order to coun
teract the efforts of General Pablo
Gonzales and others to have Mexi
co declare in favor of the eutente
allies against Germany.
Copies of El Democrata of Mexico
City and El HeraldoDel Norte, of
Chihuahua City, received here con
tain long comments on General Fran
cisco Murguia's recent declaration
in favor of strict neutrality and. also
warnings that "100,000 men would
have to be sent to Europe, should
Mexico join the allies." Both ot
these newspapers are believed here
to be subsidized by the German
agents in Mexico.
A special dispatch from Mexico
City to El Heraldo Del Norte tells
of the statement of General Murguia
being published in all newspapers and
also posted on the dead walls on ever
street of the capital. The same pa
per also printed a dispatch from the
capital city telling of President Car
ranza's statement to a delegation of
citizens, in which he is said to have
declared that "the government under
his charge would maintain the strict
est neutrality and oppose the alliance
of Mexico with any beligerenf
but that is seldom, for- the menace
of the opposing trench lines with
rifles, machine guns and star rockets
ready to burst out at the slightest !iint
of danger hangs over friend and foe
alike.
Usually one patrol discovers the
other and stalks it stealthilv. A time
Vomes when a surprise attack can be
made. It is swift, silent hand to hand
work and rarely is a shot fired. The
victor carries off his prisoners and
when morning comes, a report goes
back on the other side of the line that
a patrol of so many men is missing.
This is all that is known.
Warning To Men.
Officers here believed that this was
what happened on the French-American
front. Had there been any firing
or had members of the patrol made
their way back to the French-American
trenches, General Pershing prob
ably would have reported immedi
ately. As it was lhe probably was
waiting to make certain that the miss
ing men were not hiding in a shell
hole until dark came again to give
them opportunity to make their way
into their own line.
It was agreed that the loss of the
patrol might have a salutary effect on
the American troops in the front line.
They are young, in perfect physical
condition and fairly longing tor a
chance at the enemy. It has taken all
the authority of their officers to curb
their desire to go out and share in
the daring work of trench raiding.
Men who have spent their lives in
the army know what the situation
must be. They are liopeful that the
lesson of caution will be brought
home to the men by the loss of this
party. ,
Fruit Stand Proprietor
Robbed of Week's Income
Charles Murray, proprietor of a
fruit stand at 322 South ' Thirteenth
street, is shy $75, the sum of his gross
sales for the week.
Murray reports to police that a
man had been loitering around his
stand all day. Murray finally ordered
the man to leave. .
A few moments later Murray went
outside to rearrange the fruit on his
stand on the sidewalk and the man
left. Murray believes the money left
too, for when he investigated a cigar
box in which he kept his money, the
contents of the box were gone.
Murray called the police and a pur
suit was started. A man, Murray
said, was the one who had loitered
around his place was arrested after a
chase of three blocks. He gave his
name as Cedar Clifford, Aetna hotel.
When searched at the police station
Clifford had no money on him.

Turn Down Proposed Contracts
Fixing Fines for Strikes and

(Hy Assorlated Trem.)
W ashmgton, Nov. 4. Southwestern
coal miners representatives defied
Fuel Administrator Garfield here to
day and refused to agree to the inser
tion in a new wage contract of pro
visions penalizing strikes and lock
outs.
After a secret meeting this morn
ing the miners abruptly broke off ne
gotiations with Dr. Garfield and oper
ators representatives and left for
their homes this afternoon, announc
ing they would call a convention of
southwestern miners in Kansas City
on November 12 to discuss the situa
tion.
Fuel administration officials see pos
sibilities that the situation may de
velop seriously. Sixty mines now are
idle in Kansas and miners through
out the four states involved Kansas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri-
are threatening to strike unless they
arc given immediate wage increases,
New contracts granting wage in
creases will not be approved by the
government, Dr. Garfield insists,' un
less penalty clauses are inserted. Fur
ther, Dr. Garfield will not apply to the
southwest the recent 45 cents a ton
raise in coal prices, which was de
signed to absorb wage increases, until
the miners come to terms.
"I stand absolutely firm," Dr. Gar
field said tonight. "The penalty clause
must be put in exactly as indicated.
I have nothing to add to that."

National Shoe for Rms
To Save Needtd Leather
- Washington, Nov. 4. Russia is
preparing to adopt a standard shoe
for its civilian government workers
in an effort to meet the situation
created by the world shortage of
leather. American manufacturers
have been called upon to supply the
demand and bids will be opened
Not. 12 by an auxiliary committee
of the council of national defense.
France has already adopted a stan
dard shoe and, in the opinion of
leather experts, the United States
will be compelled to take similar
action if the war continues for sev
eral yean. Use of a standardized
hoe, it was pointed out today,
would eliminate style competition
and effect a great saving in leather.
Reports to the government show
that sole leather has advanced 100 '
per cent since the war began and
other leather HI per cent.
