2 A' THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 9, 1917. 5 SUFFRAGISTS TRY ; TO STRAIGHTEN MIX Cite Besolntions to Prove That World-Herald and Lincoln v Journal Are Unable to ' Get Things Straight. "Our country Is engaged in a war "to make democracy safe for the world ' and has called upon the women of the "-country not only to send their young -.sona to serve under the colors, to as sist in caring: for their material needs .and comforts, but also to act as a sec ond line of defense in assisting to maintain the social and industrial con editions for which they have so long 'labored. Therefore it seems to be .the psychological time for the govern yment to give to the women of Amer ica the most efficient tool for carry ing out their work the ballot. "With this weapon they can the better assist in maintaining conditions -.which will return to our homes young men physically, morally and spirit wally fit to take up the work of re construction and of safeguarding the coming generations who must carry "forward the principles of democracy.") The above is the portion of the ! , president's address at the state asso ciation which was the basis for an ar ticle printed in the Worlc-Herald of Wednesday, copied in the State Jour nal Thursday and commented upon by the other papers in Omaha and Lincoln. What Really Happened. The State Suffrage association be ' lieves that these papers desire to re port the proceedings of the conven tion, accurately and that they will print, this article in as conspicuous a place .as that given the original article, " The following resolutions were " mnanimously passed by the conven tion: -"Inasmuch as an article has: ap peared in the December 5 morning edition of the World-Herald giving an absolutely false and inaccurate report i of th afternoon session of the state suffrage convention; be it ! "Resolved, That we repudiate the published report and make the fol lowing statement: '"'Mrs. Barkley said in substance that it was part of the work of the women to maintain the moral stand ard of our fighting forces in order that bur boys may return clean and give to the next generation the heritage which is their right. ; , "The National Suffrage association jvas the first to offer its machinery to the government when war was de 'clared. It is well known that two- ihirds of the leaders in the Nebraska ted Cross and the Council for De fense are suffragists, r . "The suffragists of Omaha have had a Red Cross work room open every Friday morning since May 1 and $2,500 lias been contributed by the Omaha i association. The suffragists have done their share in the Liberty loan. Young Men's Christian association and Young Women's Christian asso ciation ana all other war activities. No more loyal body of women can be found anywhere. (Signed) "MONA COWELL, -ANNA CORNISH METCALFE, V'MRS. JOHN L KENNEDY, 5 M RS. JAMES . RICHARDSON, "MRS. J. P. WHITE, . "MRS. E. C TWAMLEY." ; V Fixing it Up. The State Journal of FViday has this comment to make on its own par ticipation in the incident: '"It turns cut that the statement concerning the effect of the war upon the health and morals of the soldiers attributed to Mrs. W. E. Barkley at the Omaha suffrage meeting was not i an exact report of her speech. It was the interpretation put upon it by Mrs. Minnie Boyer Davis and j given to the press as her justification for starting to rough house the meet ing. No reporters were present at the time the speech was made ami. the version given to the newspapers by Mrs. Davis was accepted as gen-i tune, to the wtnder and discomfiture of the women who heard Mrs. Bark ley's speech and saw nothing in it reflecting upon the American army." Abbott Savs Peoole Are ' Ready for Universal Training George M. Abbott, field secretary of the Universal Military Training eague of Chicago, is visiting Omaha itt the interests of the league. i "There is no reason why congress should t pass the Chamberlain bill for universal military training as one of its first acts now that it has re assembled," declared Mr. Abbott. "The people are prepared for it; more than a very large majority have al ready expressed themselves by reso lution or otherwise as anxious that the measure be passed and not wait until the lessons of our present troubles have faded away. Its pas &ge will not in any way interfere with the , orderly progress of the proper measures to vigorously con ' duct the war; on the contrary it will be an incentive to their higher effi ciency. "All that the advocates of universal military training want is to create for our national life as we create for our nrivtji 1iua ori.ar a united familv. each member of which will serve all the others bravely, fearlessly and de votedly in times of danger as well as in times of peace. That is all they want and no more. ' i "There would be fewer exemptions of city weaklings and pool hall loaf ers if universal military training were given the opportunity to make them physically and mentally fit, both for national defense and private living. Had such a system been inaugurated a few years ago, in all probability, the kaiser would not have scoffed at our military efficiency and we might not be in the present war." t t . ti r rami tompany iuu rer ; ; - Cent in the Red Cross The Pittsburgh Plate Glass com pany, formerly known as the Midland Glass and Paint company, is the first Omaha business establishment to sub scribe to a "100 per cent member ship" in the Red Cross. " A check for $152 for the 140 em- , ployes of the glass firm was received !; Saturday morning at trie tne neaa quarters of the Red Cross Christmas campaign committee. Several em- -.1 .V.

Clay Preston of Buffalo, secretary of the New York State Hu mane Education committee, will speak in Omaha several days next week. The program, arranged for her, fol lows: Wednesday morning, Franklin school; Wednesday afternoon, meet ing of the Humane society in the Pub lic Library; Thursday morning, Dun dee school; Thursday afternoon, ad dress to teachers in auditorium of Central High school; Friday morning, Windsor school; Friday afternoon, to Park school children in Hanscom Park Methodist church: Friday night, at the home of Mrs. G.

Soldiers Will Assist in City-Wide Recruiting Monday Monday is recruiting, day I That means the presence of 250 soldiers on the streets of Omaha, who will act in the capacity of re cruiting officers. In addition five pa triotic citizens have offered their cars for the purpose of taking men, who desire to enlist, to the Army build ing. Every man who is not in uni form will have a very good reason for not being so attired. The famous 41st infantry bai:d of Fort Crook will play. SALE CONTINUES JOilDAY S TUESDAY In spite of the severe weath er, my store was crowded all day Saturday. For the benefit of those people who were un able to get out, we decided to continue the sale for two days longer.

Handkerchiefs Are Always Right Her favorite color on the border, or perhaps a beautifully embroidered style, and the initials and plain linen squares. There is certainly no end to the good linen handkerchiefs here in Christmas array. The handkerchief section is a mecca for those with, gift lists to fill, for one is not handicapped by a small or poorly chosen selection. ' Every day women declare that this is the best handker chief shop in the city. ' ' , The Joyful Gift of Fine Silks There is not a shadow of a doubt but that silks at Christ mas time are among the most prized presents. Silks are so lasting, so lovely and so sensible for gift-purposes. Selections in every choice weave and color. Varieties .large enough to anticipate every possible demand.

Day CountsShop Early With Christmas in Mind Do You Remember, When mother said she would like, above everything else, a fur scarf and muff, as her old ones were about worn out? When father came home one evening and expressed in no uncertain term the desire for a good, sensible lounging robe?

Milady, may have the style that suits her best. The cloth coats are fashioned of all-wool fabrics. They are so much better that we deem the extra effort spent in securing them well worth while.- Plain tailored styles are shown in every seasonable color. Cloth coats with fur trimmings are much in vogue and very warm. Rich furs have been used to great advantage . in the large collars, cuffs and wide bands around the bottom. " Fur Coats for those who wish the most luxurious garments. Fur Coats are best purchased at Thompson-Belden's, because there are no misstatements regarding kind or quality of fur. Coats for shopping wear, for motoring, for evening wear; in fact, no oc casion has been forgotten. Prices Are Very Moderate. An Importation of Hand Embroidered Christmas Things Semi-made corset covers, hand embroidered in France. The daintiest baby dresses semi-made, decorated with beautiful hand French em broidery. Swiss and Convent embroid eries by the yard. Fancy headings and galloons. For baby layettes there are de lightful edges, insertings and flouncings. These are exclusive goods which are very difficult to obtain. It will be a pleasure to show you. Dainty Camisoles "I hope someone will be consider ate enough to give me a camisole this Christmas. I should consider it such a thoughtful, practical gift. So sensible and economical." This is not a bit unusual thought this season, and for that reason we have specialized on camisoles. Silks, satins, cottons of all kinds will be found here. Some plain, others beautifully trimmed. They start at $1.00. Corset Section Third Floor.
