Omaha has a deeper realization of the need to support this fund because there is num
bered in its citizenship Mr. and Mrs. Gus Caveye of 5209 P street, South Side, whose baby
daughter, Julia, died of starvation in their native land, subsequent to the Hun invasion.
1 ee came to 0maha eiht years ago to make a home for his wife and little Julia in
the new land. When he had saved enough to send for his wife she set out, leaving the little
girl with the grandmother in Courtrai. Upon the declaration of war the panic-stricken par
ents immediately forwarded $100 to bring the child to this country, but it was in vain.
Letters and letters came telling that the food supply was low, and often little Julia
