NEARLY 12,000
BONDS SOLD BY
OMAHA WOMEN
While Total Amount Is Not Up
to Last Drive Number
of Bonds Is
Greater.
Mrs. Frank Judsoii, chairman of
the Women's Fourth Liberty Loan
committee, has submitted the final
report of her committee, showing a
grand, total of $2,050,550 and 11,720
bonds sold.
While the total amount does not
equal that of the third loan, 250
more subscrptions were taken in
this campaign by the women can
vassers, "To obtain an idea of the actual
work done by the women," said
Mrs. W A. C. Johnson, secretary,
".. is necessary to ascertain the av
erage amount represented in each
subscription. The seventh and
eleventh wards, for instance, av
erage $65 a bond for the entire ter
ritory. The third ward, with 1,403
bonds, averaged $72 a bond, and de
ducting the quarter of a million sub
scription from the Woodmen's Cir
cle, the average of, the whole cam
paign represented $150 per bond."
Mr. W. J. Hynes, vice chairman
and major of the tenth ward, not
only rolled up a large total for her
ward, but, "as president of the Vis
iting Nurse association, was busy at
the same time organizing to com

McNett Quits Camouflage
to Train for an Air Pilot
WILLIAM B. McNETT.
Beginning his career with the idea
of becoming a camouflage artist,
William B. McNett is now on the
way to guiding a plane through the
air. In a letter to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank McNett of Omaha,
the young soldier tells of his pros
pects and the lure of air work.
"I have put in my name as a can
didate for flying," he writes, "and,
while I have no idea what will come
of it I pray that I may hear favor
ably. I was up the other day in a
double control machine and liad tun
control for some distance. Of
course, nothing could happen, as the
pilot in the seat behind me could im
mediately assume control if any
thing went wrong.
"It is a wonderful sensation, that
of knowing ou are in complete con
trol of the flight of the machine. I
am wild about it. I know I can
make good if I can only get a
chance.
"You see, it is only recently that
enlisted men could apply for this
sort of thing. If this goes through,
then I am done with thinking of the
camouflage business, as I have join
ed the aviation in hope of becoming
a pilot."
Young McNett is an artist, and
camouflage was his second choice in
army work. He is now stationed
near Bordeaux and sends home
charming pencil sketches of the
camp and the beautiful scenery.

NIGHT WORKERS
LOSE HOUR BY
CLOCK CHANGE
Daylight Saving Plan Ends at
2 a. m. Sunday; Trains
Held at Terminals for
One Hour.
. Omaha people, or many of them
at least, were puzzled to decide
when to go home Saturday night;
some got there an hour ahead of
time and some an hour late, for
some turned their clocks back an
hour last night and others waited
till this morning.
The test of the daylight saving
plan came to an end officially at 2
a. m. Sunday. 1 ms was tne oin
cial time for turning clocks back, or,
in some cases, turning them ahead
11 hours. Such were the instruc
tions for the electric clocks of the
Western Union.
The naval observatory clock at
Washington was turned back at
this time, and the master clocks of
the Western Union were also re
set.
Railroad men predicted last night
that the turning back of the clock
would cause little or no confusion
in schedules. The system was sim
ple. All passenger trains in termi
nals at that time were simply to stay
there one hour, then proceed on
their way. If they were late fn ar
riving at the terminals, they only
stayed the required time to put
them on the new schedules.
The average citizen who set his
clock back last night got up this
morning at the usual time, and went
about his duties with hardly a
thought of the change. Night work
ers had it harder, for the change
forced them to work one hour long
er, or in other words, work the hour
from 1 to 2 twice.

Subscriptions Due
For Creche Home to
Aid Homeless Babes
Mrs. T. L. Kimball, president of
the Omaha Charity association, has
issued a statement calling attention
to the fact that, annual subscrip
tions to1 the Creche home should
be made now. The home, which
has been established 30 years, has
just completed a successful year
and funds are needed to meet forth
coming needs. Her statement is as
follows:
"Just a word to inform the honor
ed Creche that the season is at
hand for their annual subscription,
and the Omaha Charity association
will" most thankiully receive it.
"The needs of the institution in
crease as suffering and hardship oc
casioned by war prevail. The price
of food and fuel are inordinately
high, but it is some consolation to
the working mother that her wages
are keeping pace, and she is glad
to be able to help in the support
of her little ones at the Creche.
"Good health has prevailed during
the past year at the home, testify
ing to the necessity of methodical
treatment in the care of children,
regular hours for eating, sleeping,
studying and playing, simple food,
plenty of it, outdoor air more than
indoor nightand day, cleanliness,
patient kindness and few rules. This
is the secret of health at 1231 and
1235 Park Wild avenue.
"To the school board we are in
debted not only for an excellent
teacher and some much needed
blackboards, but for the interest
they show in all our work for the
city's poor.
"In asking for aid we beg to call
attention to the diminishing power
of the dollar in procuring milk,
bread, and especially coal; how
ever, for the past 30 years the
Creche babes have not gone hungry
to bed nor suffered for lack of
shelter and warm clothing, thanks
friends and natrons,
to the genorosity of their dear
"MRS. T. L. KIMBALL,
"President Omaha Charity Associ
ation Operating the Creche."
City Trust Company Loses
Suit It Had Thought Won
Litigation of long standing has
been disposed of in district court,
by the entering of a decree in favor
of the Bankers' Mortgage Invest
ment company and against the City
Trust company.
The original action was brought
by the Bankers' companyagainst the
Trust company for $20,000 on a
promissory note. The trust com
pany came back with a counter ac
tion for $35,000 in connection with
the transfer of a safety deposit vault,
the trust company having been act
ing as trustee for the Bankertcom
pany. The counter suit was held in
district court in favor of the trust
company and was taken to the state
supreme court on an appeal. The
supreme court reversed the decision
of the lower court and when the
case came back to his court Judge
Day issued a decree in which he
stated that the City Trust com
pany's petition was without equity
and that there was due the Bankers'
company $20,000 as claimed in their
action, plus interest in the sum of
$3,552.76.
Western Man Appointed.
The Rev. Dr. Ernest F. Half? the
new head of the missionary educa
tion movement, hails from the Pa
cific coast, and brings east with him
a record of great things accom
plished in Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Seattle and new plans for
Frank A. Kennedy, in the current
issue of "The Western Laborer,"
takes cognizance of the rush of alien
enemies to obtain first naturaliza
tion papers at the court house, and
then register with the. election com
missioner, to be entitled to vote on
November 5.
He notes that the sudden change
of heart of these residents occurred
shortly after the special session of
the legislature provided that there
should be submitted at this election
a constitutional amendment on the
question of whether only full-fleged
citizens should be allowed to vote.
No Standing in Court.
"After the blow-up early this
year," he writes, "which caused the
extra session of the legislature to
have submitted to the people a con
stitutional amendment providing
that only citizens may vote, these
alien enemies have the guts to take
out their first papers, so they may
vote in the interest of the kaiser
next month.
"A number of lawyers have told
me that an alien enemy has no
standing in the courts of America.
If that is correct, why does the clerk
of the court and the election com
missioner accept the tender of these
men's declaration of intentions?
"Our boys go to France to uphold
Americanism, while here in Douglas
county we permit alien enemies to
vote. I wonder what the boys in
France will think of us at home,
who permit such a rotten deal to
them?"
Many Here Long Time.
An analysis of the naturalization
records in the court house shows
that of the alien enemies who have
taken out first papers since May 1,
there is one man who has lived .in
this county 64 years and has never
even taken out his first papers. An
other has been 'here 52 years and
many in the list have been 40, 35 or
30 years.
Approximately two-thirds of the
alien enemies who have taken their
first papers since May 1, were bori
in Germany; the others are Bohem
ians, Poles, and others born in
Austria, but at heart are in sym
pathy with the cause of this country
aitd of the allies.

Belgian Seaport Zeebruge
Now Picture of Desolation
Washington, Oct. 26. Zeebrugge
is the picture of desolation, accord
ing to dispatches received today at
the Beljian legation. The
semaphore, the buildings of the
Compagnie maritime and the Sol
vay chemical works, are a heap of
ruins. On the mole itself all the
buildings have been destroyed and
the system of railway tracks and
overhead cranes is out of commis
sion. After the passage between the
mole and the shore had been par
tially closed by a British submarine
during the raid of April 23, the
Germans set up two heavy guns,
commanding the approaches to the
harbor. A great deal of sand has
drifted into the harbor, between the
passage back of the mole and the
entrance to the Bruges canal where
Motlie wreck ofj the. British cement-
laden vessel sunk in April still is
lying.
The only signs of life in the -desolate
place, the dispatches say, are
the loud reports, following by huge
jets of water and dense clouds of
black smoke, coming from the ex
plosions of the mines laid by the
Germans which British sailors are
blowing up.
The whole Belgian cosat in the
vicinity of Zeebrugge had been
transformed into a series of fortifi
cations bristling with guns, wire de
fenses and storage depots connected
by a railway. The celebrated sea
shore promenade is broken up by
trenches and protected shelters of
machine guns and small cannon.
The roads are in fairly good con
dition but all bridges and locks
were destroyed by the Germans in
their precipitate retreat before the
irresistible dash of the Belgian
troops, -

The matter has accordingly been
referred back to the association and
will be readjusted in the hope that
a plan of action may be found
which will be effective.
It is probable that some of the
merchants will close at 6 and others
at 6:30. Most of them, Dr. Man

to open at 9 and close at (ji.
A good many complaints have
been made that the street car con
ductors are paying little or no heed
to the order that cars shall be
ventilated by leaving all windows
open, regardless of weather. This
a matter that is largely up to the
conductors, and the health office
suggests that complaints on this
score should be made direct. He
states that cars should be open all
the time, whatever the weather may
be.
The situation Saturday was
doubly aggrevated, according to a
number of complaints, by the fact
that the cars were not only closed,
and consequently filled with vitiated
air, but that tjhere was apparently
no attempt to provide heat, in
creasing the danger of contracting
colds or "flu."

THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL FROM THE
NQRFOLK DAILY NEWS EXPLAINS WHY
PATRIOTIC NEBRASKANS SHOULD SUP
PORT JOHN H. MOREHEAD FOR SENATOR.
"Norris' Conscience"
Senator Norris in one of his campaign leaflets
says: "I prefer to be with the president, but I will
be against him rather than violate my own con
science." i i
This makes Senator Norris' conscience a matter
of great public concern. He Is perfectly right in
following . his conscience, but if his conscience
leads him repeatedly to oppose the president in
the prosecution of the war against German auto
cracy, then, certainly, the people of Nebraska, who
are with the president, should retire the senator to
private life where he can follow his conscience with
out inflicting serious damage upon the allied cause.
Senator Norris' conscience led him to head a
filibuster in the senate against the arming of Amer-.
km merchant ships o that they might protect
themselves from German submarines. His con-;
science told him that he ought to put his judgment
on that issue against the combined judgment of the
administration and congress. The senate rules gave
Senator Norris power to exercise his judgment au-
tocratically and arbitrarily and he did so. He used
his power to prevent congress from doing what both .
congress and the nation believed was the highly
important thing to do.'
Senator Norris' conscience also led him not only
to vote against the war resolution but to denounce
our war for the liberation of the world from the Hun
as a war "at the command of gold," and as putting
"the dollar sign on the American flag." If Senator
Norris' conscience , had dictated, to America Ger
many would today be in Paris and on the Belgian
coast and without doubt would be the victorious
oppressor of all Europe and a menace to America.
s
Senator Norris' conscience also led him to vote
against the conscription bill under which we have
raised our army with which to fight the Germans.
If the senator's conscience had prevailed we would
today have only a meager army in France, the late
victorious drive would have been impossible, and,
at best, the situation would have been as serious as
it was before the Germans began to fall back. ;
Senator Norris' conscience also led him to vote
against the revenue bill under which a large pro
portion of the money with which we have financed
our war against Germany has been raised. If Sen
ator Norris' conscience had had its way our war pro
gram would have been inadequately financed and
our part in the war rendered much less effective
that it is today.
Senator Norris' conscience has led him into paths
along which patriotic citizens have not been able to ,
follow him. It has proved an untrustworthy guide
in the past; what guarantee have we that it will not
lead him astray in the future?
A conscience such as his is a dangerous guide
through the perilous paths which the administration
and congress will have to traverse during the final
aays 01 ine war ana tne early days of peace.
VOTE FOR JOHN H. MOREHEAD FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
