Whitehorn 2.00 Maud Gosselin, Grand Island 5.00 JEFFERIS GIVES ADDRESS AT PAPILLION Second District Candidate De livers Open-Air Talk; Sen ator Norris Talks War Problems. Two Young Boys Held . Charged With Robbing Store Mrs. Alice Flinn, 4004 North Thirty-fourth avenue, reported ro police that thieves entered her store, at the above address, Friday afternoon, by crawling through the basement window, during her absence, and stole a quantity of small change, mostly silver. Two young boys living in the neighborhood, were arrested Fri day evening, and turned over to Probation Officer Gus Miller, charged with the offense. They are Harry Haslock, 4925 North Thirty-fourth avenue, 11 years old, and Edward Wyer, 15 years old, 3534 Taylor' street. Albert W. Jefferis. republican candidate for congress from the Sec ond district, addressed a gathering of Sarpy county voters last night on the porch of the hotel in Papillion. Although the weather was un favorable for such an occasion, the attendance was fair and all listened attentively to the speaker. "The overshadowing proposition today is Americanism," Mr. Jef feris began. "We are all demonstrat ing our responsibility to the presi dent in this great crisis. It is a glory to the nation that men of all classes have been guided by their best thought and have s!:own tha? they can work together a a great brotherhood should work. Uphold Rights of Human. "There never has been a time when there was so much unanimity of determination to uphold the American flag and all that it stands for. We are proud to say that men of all parties have put their shoul ders together to support the gov ernment, to liberate mankind from the threatened thralldom of an un scrupulous enemy. "If I would try to analyze the American spirit, it would be to say that we believe in the fundamental rights of human beings and to ob tain for all that happiness, peace and contentment to which the hu man family is entitled. That is the great object and purpose of human government. "When this war shall be over, we are necessarily going to see a re construction throughout the world. Peace Through Victory. "America is going to have a great merchant marine. We may rest as sured that the high seas is going to see the American bottom to an ex tent never realized, and this will open up new avenues of enter prise. "Peace will come only through victory, because a real peace can not be assured while a military power exists. With all of these questions coming, it seems to me that American citizenship should be expressed to the end that the great body of mankind are brothers in fact as well as in name." This the Last War. ' Senator G. W. Norris followed Mr. Jefferis. He stated that evolution has been the history of civilization, and that there never has been a forward step but which was accompanied by sacrifice. "The advance of government and happiness has gone on more rapidly in the new world than in the old," the senator stated. "We have de cided to make this the last war and it must be fought to a permanent peace, as permanent as the ingen uity of man can make it. It is the highest purpose that ever moved the mind of jnan. Slavery and demon war are both relics of bar barism.' The partnership between the kaiser and God must be dis solved." He urged support of Lib erty bonds. Greeks Reclaim Land. Saloniki, Oct. 18.
