1 is $200,000.
One of the slogans of- Nebraskans,
all of whom are going into the Red
Cross, drive "nand and heart,ill be,
"Put Her Over the Top Inside of
48 Hours,". ,., . .
'. For the' next' Red 'Crols drive,
starting Ma '20, the" quota of Ne
braska has been set at $1,300,000. Of
this, Omaha's quota is $200,000. This
jooks like big. sum of money to
raise, but, according to information
toming to the headquarters, both city
and state .will . go "over the , top."
Work, however, is not going to cease
when the quota has been raised. It
is the purpose of the workers to keep
right on and 'rrot vstop inttf double
, the sum asked for is in the treasury.
i It is not believed that it is going
to be difficult to push the contnou
"tions up to $2,500,000. The $1,300,000
asked of Nebraska is an insignincani
sum when it Is takefl into considera
tion that-this is much less than $1
per capita for the state. And .to raise
$200,000 in Omaha is looked upon as
easy. It is only about 75 cents per
capita. " . k- i ' i
, $100,000,000 Total.' '
: The United States, as a whole, pro
poses to raise $100,000,000, and it is
believed that Nebraska will be one
of the first units not only to come
forward with its u'ota, "but td golOO
per cent better. s,

campaign It is the plan of the local
committee to. jxush.iUo Jt wbirjwind
finish and in Nebraska "clean up'
cities and counties within 24 hours, if
possible,. The time- limit for-putting-the
state "over the, top" has been' set
at, 48 hoars: To do this everybody
must grasp the tow line and pull In
formation filtering into headquarter
indicates that the "pulling" will be
done. '- . - Vf . ' '.'.
Already, and with .the beginning of
the drive 10 days off, several Nebras
ka counties have raised their quotas,
but they are not stopping. They will
keep on ' until they come in with
double the sum apportioned,
i - For War Relief.. f
The money to be raised in the Red
Cross drive is to carry on war relief
work, but not all of it is to go out
of the state. Ofsthe money raised
..lfM "5 C mmf ..ah wilt i-mnaiti in M
braska Money is to be spent in the
purchase of material for surgical
dressings, hospital garments, and
other things to relieve the suffering
and add to the comfort of the boys
who are sick and wounded, in the
.hospitals in Europe. In addition to
contributed will go to assist the fam
ilies of the boys who have answered
th call and have gone to the front
to fightfor world democracy. - .'
In the Red Cross offices '"there "fs
record of every man who has en
listed, -That record, row, Tells of -the
dependents, left behind. One -of -te
aims and .duties, of the Red Cross is
to fee that the Wives and children of
the boys inf the-trenches do not be
come objects of charity. A portion
of the money raised in the Red Cross
drives will be spent for the comfort
of (the wives , and . little ones of the
soldier boys. - ;
The Red Cross has its plans well
worked- out and committees are or-
!:anizing. everywhere to call upon the
amities of pe soldjeri .and extend
words of cheer'and 'such relief as may
be needed. This particular line of
work if carried on by, the civilian re
lief, but it is all done under the direc

HUNS PLANNING
TO MAKE RUSSIA
GERMAN COLONY
Ultimatum Embarrasses Bol
shevik Government; Transfer
of Capital Broached at ,
Session of Council.
(By AMocIated'Pres.)
London, May 11. Russia has been
suddenly faced with events that may
again change the political outlook, the
PetroKrad correspondent of the Daily
Express telegraphs. Germany, he!
says, has apparently found that eco
nomic dominion over Russian terri
tory is insufficient and is seeking
military occupation. ,
An extra session of the bolshevik
government council has been held in
Petrograd to discuss the situation cre
ated by the ultimatum recently deliv
ered by the German ambassador,
Count von Mirbach, which embodied
demands oi a character apparently
calculated to turn Russia virtually
into a German colony. Premier Len
ine's speech at this meeting was ex
tremely pessimistic, the correspondent
reports. !
According to the newspaper Pod
nia, the question of transferring the
capital to Nijni-Novogorod was
broached, as was the subject of im
mediate military measures for the de
fense of , Moscow against possible
aerial attacks. - ,
Rada Members Handled Roughly.
Washington, May1 11. Further de
tails of the situation in Ukrainia
reached the State department today
in diplomatic dispatches. An official
Ukrainian report on the recent inter
ference by German military authori
ties with the rada given out by t,he
department said: -
"Yesterday at 4 o'clock in the after
noon the building- in which the cen
tral rada sits was- surrounded by men
in the uniform of German officers and
soldiers and members of the central
rada as well as members of the. gov
ernment who had assembled for Jhe
session of the rada, were searched and
arrested. Those present were ordered
to hold up " their hands and their
treatment was rough and discourte
ous. The protest of the president of
the rada against the arrest of mem
bers of parliament in the parliament
building was" disregarded More than
this, physical force was used against
President Hruschevsky during 4he
search. All private papers and docu
ments of the central rada were taken
away and the search lasted three and
a half hours. Without any warrants
of any sort being shown the following
ministers were arrested: , Mjinister of
Int'frior Tkatschenkq, Minister of
Foreign Affairs JLubinsky, Minister of
War Schukovsky and Director of .the
Political - Administrative Department
Kajevsky. .- . - ; ?
Anarchy Threatened. , , ,
"The German minister, Baron Mum.
was informed of what had happened
and asked whether the case was
known to him. As representative of a
state friendly toward Ukrainia the
minister was requested to Inform .the
German government. ' The Ukrainian
government filed a decided protest
and pointed out the serious conse
quences to which interference might
lead. The German ministejvpromised
to inform his government of the, event
and remarked that what had taken
place in. the rada was unknown to
him. -., . ' -
"The report spread--like lightning
throughout Ukrainia and disorders are
reported from various localities, sq'
