CRY OF LIBERTY
LOAN BOOSTERS
Only Eleven Days Left for So
licitation; Subscriptions
Thus Far Show $1,323,
716,950 Total.
Washington, Oct. 7. Seven days
of solicitation for the fourth Liberty
Joan have yielded $1,323,716,950, and
Only 11 working days remain in
which to raise the remainder of the
$6,000,000,000. Reports compiled to
night by the treasury, covering re
ceipts up to last Saturday night,
showed 22 per cent of the loan had
been subscribed and backed up by
in;tia! payments. This did not take
into consideration rather large ag
gregates gathered yesterday in many
cities by house-to-house canvassers.
Apprehension that peace news
from abroad might cause relaxation
of effort by workers and subscribers
became more distinct in the capital
today on receipt of reports from
communities throughout the coun
try that individuals and business
firms were inclined to postpone
"making their subscriptions until late
in the campaign, meanwhile watch
ing the progress of the central
powers peace offensive.
Secretary McAdoo issued a state
ment saying that "now is the time
above all others not to relax but to
intensify efforts." It was reported
that this statement had been sug
& -ted py President Wilson, who is
represented as feeling deeply that
the fourth loan should be generously
subscribed both for the actual needs
of the government and for the moral
support which this would give the
United States in the present situa
tion. Inroads of influenza epidemics on
campaign plans were reported more
serious today.

Maj. John G. Maher, Omaha quar
termaster, is to be promoted to lieu
tenant colonel and will be sent to
France as special officer in the fi
nance department of the army, ac
cording to advices just received
here.
Col. F. A. Grant, former quarter
master, arrived in Omaha Monday
morning from Montreal, Can., where
Mayor Smith has received from
Attorney General Reed an opinion
stating that there is no way open
for the city council to declare an
emergency for the purpose of
granting the policemen and firemen
an immediate increase of pay with
out waiting for the approval of the
new home rule city charter which
will be submitted to the voters on
November 5.
The mayor's lettei to the attorney
general follows:
"Every person in Omaha, who
has given the matter any considera
tion agrees that many of our po
licemen and firemen are receiving
wholly inadequate conpensation.
"The city commissioners woutd
be only too glad to raise their pay
if they felt they had the power to
do it.
Asks Opinion.
'"Wish you would give me your
opinion as to whether or not the
council has the power to declare an
emergency now exists which would
justify them in any manner in vot
ing an increase in the pay of these
officers, without waiting for a new
charter to be adopted and become
effective. Is there any way you can
point out to me by which provision
can be made for these men at this
time?"
Attorney General Reed's reply in
part follows:
"If the city is unable to obtain
firemen, policemen or any other of
ficers to discharge the duties en
joined upon the city and its public
officers to do and perform at the
salary designated and fixed by the
legislature, then upon complaint of
a taxpayer and citizen, that the
mayor and councilmcn had failed
and neglected to provide certain
protection, stating specifically the
facts, to the citizen and property
holders within said city, as well as
all of the general public; and that
you be mandamused to provide the
necessary protection as enjoined
upon you by said act; and upon
your answer thereto that the only
compensation which you could of
fer and had offered was that which
was designated by statute and that
individuals would not work for such
compensation, the court would no
doubt direct you to employ the
necessary assistance, irrespective of
the staute until the same could be
changed by legislative authority, and
under such circumstances neither
yourself nor any member of the
council wouia oe vioiaung tne law;
n the contrary you would be obey
ing its plain mandate to provide
suitable care, management and con
trol of said city.
It Is Possible.
"It is possible that without such
a suit special assistants might be
appointed by you and the council
and their compensation fixed by
ordinance. These must necessarily
be designated as special employes
and not those specifically mentioned
in the statute. In either event, how
ever, the only safe course for all
parties concerned would be to have
an order of the court until the
charter has been changed and taken
effect:
In another section of his letter At
torney General Reed states: "It
might be doubted whether you could
do so or not."

fected three years ago for the pur
pose of doing its share in driving
German "kultur" out of the world, it
had not been large enough to give
the material aid which it is now ren
dering. "The membership has been ma
terially increased of late," says
Frank Zigmund, secretary of the or
ganization, "as the Lithuanians of
the South Side are intensely inter
ested in the war and are banding to
gether to assume their share of re-
nonsibility in carrying it to an ef-
ctive finish."
There are about 800 Lithuanians

01 AH A WORKERS
WILL ORGANIZE
DAY NURSERIES
"Time to Get Down to Busi
ness," Says Rev. Mr.
Cleveland; Executive
Committee Named.
Tlans for the establishment of
day nurseries in Omaha were made
Monday afternoon at the Chamber
of Commerce.
"We are going to quit talking and
get down to business," said Rev.
Denton Cleveland, manager of the
Women's war workers bureau
The Rev. Mr, Cleveland was ap
pointed chairman of the meeting,
which was attended by representa
tives of Omaha organizations in
terested in social welfare work. Dr.
Cleveland appointed an executive
committee consisting of Dr. Floyd
Clark, superintendent of schools J.
H. Beveridge, Rev. Father Flauigan,
superintendent of the Home for
Boys; T. J. Weirich of the Welfare
board, Miss Florence McCabe of
Visiting Nurses, Miss Mary E.
Anthony of the City Mission, Mrs.
George Doane of the Associated
Charities and Mrs A. W. Bowman,
president of the Omaha Social Set
tlement. Miss McCabe superintendent of
the Visiting Nurses, told of the
great need of a day nursery in order
to prevent disease among the poor,
where the mothers do not know
how to care for children.
The locations and numbers of the
nurseries have not been decided. It
was suggested that one be placed in
South Omaha for the mothers em
ployed in the packing houses, one
in the industrial center in Omaha,
and one at Twenty-fourth and Cum
ing streets.
The social service commission of
the Episcopal church offered a room
in the Gardner Memorial hall for
a nursery.
When Mr. Kennedy of the Wel
fare board was asked to support the
movement he replied that he was
not in favor of any institution or
scheme that took children from
their mothers and insulted the
mothers by telling them they didn't
know how to care for the children,
"and anyway," he said, "mud is
good for children. They all look
alike to me, clean or dirty." Just
then Dr. Jennie Callfas, also of the
Welfare board, came in late. She
hadn't heard Mr. Kennedy's speech
and she addressed the meeting and
said, "The Welfare board will sup
port you every inch of the way."
Sensation and Near Fisticuffs
Pulled Off at Blnffs Coun
cil When Pass Resolution
Asking Men to Quit.
As a culmination of a debate dur
ing which Alderman Williams of
fered to "punch the nose" of Alder
man Hochtnan, the city council last
night passed a resolution instruct
ing the mayor to demand the resig
nation of all the members of the
Water board and appoint an entirely
new board.
The matter was brought up as a
sudden irruption just before close of
the meeting when Alderman Bel
linger said he had a matter of pub
lic interest to present.
"I have noticed in the newspapers
that t''e Water board has appealed
the case it lost in the district court
I when it sought a writ of mandamus
to compel this council to levy the
I S-mill fire hydrant tax," said the
Sixth ward alderman. "When the
board lost in the district court I
supposed the matter would end
there and no more of the people's
money would be used by the Water
hoard in litigation, but this appeal
to the supreme court shows that
more of the city's" -money is to be
wasted. As a means of preventing
it I want to offer a radical motion,
a motion to instruct the mayor to
ask for the resignation of the Water
board members and authorize him
to name a new board."
There was a dead silence while
the members caught their breath.
Then Alderman Williams said, "If
nobody else will second it I will just
to see how the vote will stand."
Then followed a controversy be
tween Alderman Hochman and Al
derman Williams.
The resolution was carried by the
votes of Alderman Bellinger, Camp
bell, Hochman, Myrtue and Evans;
Williams, Tyson and Johnson vot
ing no. The members of the board
are J. Chris Jensen, chairman, and
rebuilder of the plant; R. B. Wal
lace and William Coppock. LInder
the action of the council ' Mayor
Zurmeuhlen has no other alternative
than to ask for the resignations, but
perhaps the members are not obliged
to tender them.
The action of the council caused
a huge sensation.-

You notice that your heels are worh out
You want new ones and you want them now.
If you have five minutes to spare, step
into a repair shop and say, "I want a pair of
'Usco' rubber heels."
That's all it takes five minutes (the old
kinds require nearer thirty minutes) and
almost like magic, the repair man with a
few taps( of his hammer will reheel your
6hoes with these staunch, long wearing,
neVer-pull-loose rubber heels.
"But," you say, "it takes longer than that
for the cement to dry."
"Usco" heels require no cement. This
heel of springy rubber is moulded in a
6aucer like shape. The hollow under-side
is fitted over the heel seat. A hammer blow
flattens it out. A few nails complete the
job and you have what you never had be
fore rubber heels that scarcely show the
jointa permanent, practically invisible joint
that will last as long as the heel
There is a sure footed satisfaction in the
broad, flat, tread of "Usco" heels. You will
like their yielding comfort and their tough
resistance to wear.
