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

Fremont, Neb.. Aug. 3. (Special
Telegram.) Ralph Davis, son of H.

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.

A .Man
Stronger
The man who (ears the jeers
of the jealous, will never
hear the cheers of the
zealous.
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.
