5.300 MEMBERS
OF RED CROSS IN
FIRST DAY'S DRIVE
Omaha Workers Make Good
Start in Their Campaign; Con
gressman Stephens Tells of
Experiences on War Front.
Fifty-three hundred persons signed
up for membership as a result of the
first day's drive for members of the
Red Cross Monday in Omaha.
Congressman Dan Vr. Stephens
stirred a big audience at the Audi
torium last night with an account of
what he saw on his recent trip with
the delegation of congressmen to the
battle front in France. It was a
"booster" meeting for the Red Cross
drive of this week.
"I cannot find adjectives strong
enough to express what I feel about
the grandeur of the work of the Red
Cross, the Young Women's Christian
association and the Young Men's
Christian association in that land of
darkness," he declared.
"I remember one dark, rainy night
at the port where we landed in
France. In a doorway at the station
were two Red Cross nurses. Their
faces were pinched, their uniforms
stained, their boots muddy. 1 learned
that they were waiting for the mid
night ambulance train. There they
were, working from 10 to 21) hours a
day, and 1 realized how little we do
here who only contribute of our
money in comparison with what they
do. It is for these nurses that the
Young Women's Christian associa
tion is raising a fund to build shelt
ers where they may rest when off
duty."
Describes Air Raid.
Mr. Stephens was in London dur
ing an air raid. He says the people
paid little attention to it.
""We were seated around a table
with sonu of England's leading men
when the alarm was brought in," he
said. "Our friends paid no attention
to it beyond showing some annoy
ance that they should be disturbed in
their important work by such a trifle.
And later when we went out into the
street and the messengers were
hurrying past giving the alarm of the
raid we found that the great majority
of the people paid no attention, but
went about their business as usual.
Only a few of the timid ones hurried
to the shelters provided for the pur
pose at various places. The whole
of that great city was in absolute
darkness. Not a street lamp, nor a
store lamp nor a house lamp show
ing. Policemen were going about and
if they saw a single ray of light show
ing through a shutter they entered
and railed the attention of the house
holder to his carelessness.
"In Paris we dined with General
Pershing and spent the evening with
him. We were all 'profoundly im
pressed with him. He is not only
a great soldier, but a great adminis
trator. He knows exactly what
needs to he done in moving his
troops, getting supplies to them and
.-o on.
"From Paris we 'were taken out in
miliiary automobiles to the battle'
front. Before we had advanced more
than 20 miles from Paris we came to
the place, already historic, which I
marks the farthest point of the Ger- ,
man advance in those first weeks of J
the war. That was a tragic moment ,
for civilization. Five mighty German j
armies swept down upon France the j
armies of V on Kluck, the army of !
Von ISuelov , the army of the Sax-
otis, the army of the German crown j
prince and the army of the Bavarian (
crown prince. It was the mightiest j
ho; i that had ever been assembled
up to that time.

Farmer's Daughter Says
Husband Was Stingy
Adrya Fayth Kimball, daughter of
W. R. Locke, wealthy Stanton
farmer, gave a dramatic recital of
the trials and tribulations of a ,
young and pretty wife with an in
significant allowance, before Judge
Leslie, in her plea for divorce from i
R. J. P. Kimball. She says she
thought Kimball was getting five
times as much a- he was per week
when she married him and ex
plained that in order to have any
good times at all she had to pay
her own hotel bills. The decree
was granted.
words. And he said to them, 'we will
advance and we will not stop as long
as a Frenchman remains alive.' That
advance rolled back" the hosts that
Germany thought invincible, the
hosts prepared throughout a quarter
century. I asked our guide how on
earth such an army could defeat the
German avalanche. He shrugged his
shoulders and said 'it was God.' I
told this to a French colonel. 'Well,'
he said, 'if God did it, He did it with
the French army.' "
Mr. Stephens spoke in high terms
of the allied fighting forces both on
land and on sea. On the ship going
over he found, among the navy gun
crews, a boy from Sac City, la.
"It seemed a car cry from Sac City,
la., to the lonely deck of that ship,
plowing its way in at solute darkness
through the sea," he said, "and it
impressed upon me how unitedly wc
are advancing against the common
enemy."
Boost Red Cross Work.
W. A. Schall presided and intro
duced the main speaker. Before this
Arthur Palmer made a four-minute
talk on the Red Cross stickers which I
the merchants are giving free to all
customers who carry home their
packages instead of having them de
livered. "Lick and stick and stick
and lick the kaiser," Mr. Palmer
admonished the audience.
The military band from Fort Crook
gave a oencert before the speaking.
Application blanks for membership
were distribtued by 25 girls in Red
Cross uniforms and a large number
of these were returned tilled out and i
with cash accompanying them.
Families of Enlisted Men
Incensed at Local Boards
Many Omaha families who have re
ceived questionaires addressed to sons
already in the army have lodged vig
orous complaints with the local
boards, accusing them of trying to
have their sons listed as slackers.
"Such is not the case in any sense,"
said the chairman of the Fifth dis
trict exemption board. "We are re
quired to send out questionaires to
the men whose names appear on our
books. If a man has enlisted since
registration, himself or his family up
on receipt of the questionaire have
only to return it with evidence of his
enlistment. Certificates of enlistment
can be obtained from the recruiting
headquarters.

Possess the Power of Aladdin
Aladdin had merely to rub his wonderful lamp and instantly the
slave stood at attention. Compared to the power which Thomas A.
F.dison offers you, Aladdin's was limited. For, ownership of that
wonderful instrument, the New Edison, means that a group of the
world's greatest artists is constantly at your service. A mere turn of
the hand and presto! right there In the room peals forth the glorious
voice of Anna Case, Margaret Matzenauer, Marie Rappold, Arthur
Middleton, Thomas Chalmers, or any other of our eminent Metropolitan
stars. It is exactly as though the singer were there in the flesh. No
human ear can detect the slightest shade of difference between the
living artist's interpretation and that of
The New Edison
-The rhono&raph irith a SonP
Conceive yourself in a crowded eon-
cert hall. One of our Metropolitan
stars, Marie Rappold, for example,
begins to sing. Through the building
soars her brilliant soprano voice. Now
watch the audience. Note the sudden
stir. See the amazement reflected in
each face. 'What has happened? The
singer's lips have ceased to move.
And still the beautiful aria continue!
Surely, Marie Rappold Is still singing.
She most be. Every lingering over
tone, every subtle shade of color is
there. But her lips are motionless.
What is the answer?
In a sense Marie Rappold is still
singing. The. New Edison which
stands beside her is playing a Rap
pold Re-Creation. The explanation is
simple. First the Instrument is started
Then Rappold joins in. Suddenly she
stops and the Re-Creatlon continues.
And so completely, so utterly satisfy
ing is the Re-Creation. that the list
eners refuse to credit the evidence of
th( ir senses.
This is the famous Edison tone test;
the demonstration which convinces
the most skeptical that Thomas A.
Edison has succeeded in actually re
creating music.
Come in to our store and see for yourself just what we mean by
Music's Re-Creation.
(Helen Stanley, who sings at the Boyd on the evening of Decvem
ber 20th under the auspices of the Tuesday Musical club, is an Edison
artist. After hearing Ler then come to our store and listen to her Re
created voice.)
