5 A SALVATION ARMY WAR FUND DRIVE SOONJO START Chicago Organizers Arrive to Conduct Campaign to Raise Omaha's Quota for War Work. The campaign to pledge Omaha's quota in the nationwide Salvation Army war fund drive will start soon. Hugh A. Knowles and Leslie K. I car of Chicago arrived in Omaha yesterday to conduct this campaign, vxhich will be launched as soon as possible. Not the least of the war service or ganizations backing the boys at the front is the Salvat:on Army, which lias come to be an honored factor in the work of alleviating the sufferings of men at the front. Silent and unos tentatious is the work of the Salva tionists in France. They have toiled amidst dangers in and back of the front line trenches since the war be gan in 1914. They have been the mainstay of relief with the English army; yet little was said in this coun try of their activities until the Ameri can boys started shooting at "Fritz." Letters from the front tell of the famous pies, doughnuts, hot coffee and chocolate, "just like dear old mother used to make," that are pro vided on the firing line by the brave women of the Salvation Army. They not only supply home dainties in their huts back of the lines, but they actually meet the men as they emerge from the firing areas and even pene trate the thickest of the fray in order to give them eats and comfort. The Salvation Army war work has, along with the Red Cross, Young Men's Christian association, the Knights of Columbus and kindred organizations, been endorsed by President Wilson, General Pershing, Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, the National Coun cil of Defense, the State Council of Defense, Rt. Rev. James Davis, bishop of the Roman Catholic church; Rev. T. N. Morrison, bishop Episcopal church; Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, moderator general assembly Presby terian church, and Governor Keith Neville. In the matter of funds the Salva tion Army seems to have been the pioneer among relief organizations. It would not require a great adver tsing campaign to raise the money if the people come to realize how the soldiers and sailors feel about the work the Salvation Army is doing. Knowles and Lear formerly cam paigned in the state of Kansas for the various war relief funds. They are now devoting their entire time towards launching the initial drive for funds for the Salvation Army. A committee to handle the campaign in Omaha is now being formed and it is hoped that the drive will be put on within the next three or four weeks. I Women's Federated Clubs i Of State to Meet Oct 15j Mrs. A. E. Sheldon of Lincoln,) president of the Nebraska1 Federation of Women's C!ubs last night noti fied Omaha members that following i conference of the Federation of Women's Clubs, the Red Triangle and the Liberty Loan, it was decided to hold the meeting of t'ie Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs at i Fairbury, October 15 to 18. Fremont Sold-er Killed. Fremont, Neb.. Aug. 3. (Special Telegram.) Ralph Davis, son of H. S. Davis of Fremont, is among the American boys who have fallen in the recent offensive in France, Mr. Davis has been notified. Ralph was a mem ber of the Rainbow division and en listed in A company at Council Bluffs EN AND WOMEN IN DEMAND FOR RED CROSS JOBS Persons Outside Draft Age or Physically Incapacitated for Military Service Ac cepted for Work. According to J. E. Davidson, vice president and general manager of the Nebraska Power company, who is director of the bureau of personnel of the American Red Cross, there are at the present time open to both men and women, a large number of positions under the Red Cross, for persons outside the draft age, and those within the draft age who! are physically disqualified for military service, but are still able to stand the heavy work involved in Red Cross service. With reference to remuneration Mr. Davidson states that a large number of persons who are finan cially able to do so have accepted positions without salary, and it is the desire of the officials to secure as many of this class of workers as possible. Ability to offer service in this way is not an essentia! qualifi cation, however. The Red Cross will, in the case of any person whom it may accept for service, make adequate provision for living expenses, transportation 'and equipment. stenographers receive 600 to 750 francs per month, just about enough to meet their expenses. Mechanics will be paid about' on the basis of military pay, with their liv ing expenses paid. ' Six Months' Service Minimum. Six months' service is the shortest period for which anyone will be ac cepted. Red Cross doctors must go for one year, except when going at their own expense. The Red Cross gives each worker $1,000 insurance free and will assume the war risk on $4,000 more. Uni forms identical with those worn in the army except the braid on he sleeves, are furnished. Some of the positions open are, executive representatives, account ants, casualty searchers, auto and ex hibit experts, hospital orderlies, nurses' aides, clerks, stenographers, various mechanics, chaplains, physi cians. Mrs. C. T. Kountze is associate di rector and has charge of the woman's division, with headquarters in the Wead building. All women who de sire service should apply to her. Any information regarding these positions may be secured from J. E. Davidson, 411 Electric building, or Wead building. Omaha Day at State Fair; Committee is Appointed C. O.

Success is found on the heights, the path is narrow and beset with difficulties. He who grumbles at dim culties must be content with failure. Thin-skinned people too keenly feel the ever-ready darts of jealousy and turn back instead of fighting back. The friendless man is less to be pitied than the man "without an enemy. Make an improvement, inaugurate a reform, chal lenge graft and depend upon your motives, honesty and ability being questioned. I am not a lover of strife, I had rather believe my fellow men are honest, my competitors generous, my critics honorable, but when it comes to a choice of sur rendering my ambitions (to give Omaha a Dental Office of which she may well be proud), or retreat under the jeers and the sneera of those who have reasons to wish me elsewhere, I prefer to stand up for my principles, so long as I can raise an arm or a dollar to fight back with.
