SPRINGFIELD BOY DIES OF
WOUNDS IN FRANCE.
IS HELL AFTER
THEFIGHLSAYS
SOUTH SIDE MAN
Former Pasfor of St An-
: thony's Church, Now in
France, Writes to -Gene
Melady.
Rev. George F. Jonaitis, former
1 pastor of St. Anthony's Catholic '
chnfsh, South Thirty-second and S
'. streets, and one of the most popu
lar priests on the South Side, writes
an interesting letter to Gene Melady
'and other friends, from "somewhere
'in France," where he is chaplain in
ine une nunarea and second inian
tr j I'ather Jonaitis enlisted for the
service and likes it, being well and
I happy and says he has one "of the
!best divisions in the whole United
States and is proud of his boys. He
makes an appeal for smokes for the
' boys.'
About $200 has been subscribed
to the fund for that purpose since
the subscription was solicited Satur
day afternoon in the Exchange
building by Charles Cannon. More
will be added to that amount Mon
day when the carivass is completed.
Popular on South Side,
f Father Jonaitis is a Lithuanian,
well educated in his language. It
was during his pastorate here that
St. Anthony's church was built and
he is held in the highest regard by
s countrymen oji the South Side.
His letter follows:
. "I suppose you will be surprised to hear
, -from mo. Well, I am well and happy In
good old bell France, lighting the boche,
a tho Frenchmen say.
"I had .plenty wort and good voyage
coming to Europe, but many yet to come.
My boy come out victorious after the
battle, but one thing, they have nothing
to smoke, hard to buy, and It's hell after
tha flrfht. I am proud of my division and
mv reciment. I have one of tha bests
"lighting outflti In the whole United States.
, f'aa Be of Help.
' You can help me to make much better
'and more happier Hf you send me some
little change to buy cigarettes or send
m some elarettcs from the states If the
government permits It.
"I have no use for Hun. What they
have done for our boys, believe me they
are not human, but 'worse than Indians.
"How are lifngs In Omaha 7 I miss
very much. Iters we have wrestling and
boxing, and base ball, and the soldier boys
love It, but one thing we are short of is
material.
"As I know you well, you can make our
program much better anfl help.ua frreat.
ITie boys will net forget Omaha and tho
trolling; chaplain from the stock yards
when I get all those things for them. I
ilways believed that you are a good sport,
ind you will not turn this letter down
lor the Bake of your country.
"I expect to eat my Xmas dinner In Ber
lin and sure you can be with me and enjoy
" "My best regards to the boys In the
stock yards and can assure you that Oma
ha looks good to me."
Hog Situation on
1 r South Side to Be
, Adjusted on Merits
It is the consensus of opinion in
the Omaha Live Stock Exchange
that the hog situation for the month
of November will assume a new
character and will be worked out
utmost entirely on its own merits.
The government food administra
tion authorities, packers, producers
and interested exchanges are recog
nizing an altogether different prop
osition in the hog market, since the
establishing of the fixed minimum
price of $17.50 at Chicago this week,
and are facing a problem which will
. possibly differ so widely from that
of October that it will be hard to
forecast the condition of the mar
ket. As long as this good weather
continues the shipments are inclined
to be light and the big receipts are
not expected Before December, pos
sibly not before the middle of the
month.,
; Increase Expected.
! When the new crop of hogs begin
to move it is expected to be folly
15 per cent increase over the crop
of last year, yet there will be no ad
vantage jtaken of brealing the mar
ket since all concerned are desirous
of maintaining values that will en
courage the continued production
and stabilization of prices, to the
end of eliminating all serious breaks
in prices. The forecasting of ad
vance in prices is a thing of the
past. Trices are going to be so main-t
. ' tained that there will be to special
advance 'and no decline. '
Norman . Level I
Norman E. Lovell, age 23 years,
, 341st battalion, Company B, died re
cently in France from shrapnel

ELEVENTH HOUR
PLAN TO ANNEX
VOTES RUMORED
Inside Information Indicates
Advance Tip Will Be Given
in Churches of Amer
icanization Report.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2. (Special
Telegram.) According to inside in
formation the llttt hour effort of the
democratic machine to annex the
votes of the foreign element is about
to be put forth pursuant to a well
laid plan. The hunch is that the sub
committee of the Americanization
committee appointed by Governor
Neville has formulated its report
though"" not yet given out except
through the governor to his cam
paign managers.,
Runners have' been sent to all
communities affected where the
men are to be asked to stay after
their church services tomorrow to
receive assurance that this report
will grant what they desire in the
way of permission to hold church
services and give religious instruc
tion in a foreign language. They
are also to be told that this out
come has the approval and is to
be credited to Governor Neville,
leaving it to their gratitude to vote
for him at the coming election.
Some of those who were to be in
on the game, so it is said, denounce
the whole scheme as a misuse of
the Americanization committee for
political -purposes and insist that
the withholding of the report to the
eve- of election and its use to bolster
up the falling fortunes of the demo
cratic governor will be resented by
the foreign language element. They
also "believe it will react against tht
democratic wire pullers with those
who take the work of Americaniza
tion i seriously and not as political
trading material. '
Corrick Says Chance
For Republican Win
Are Decidedly Good
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Nov. 2. (Special.) The
chances for the election of the en
tire republican ticket are decidedly
good, is the opinion of Frank P.
Corrick, former chairman and na
tional committeeman of the pro
gressive party in Nebraska.
Mr. Corrick has spent considera
ble time in different portions of the
state and probably knows the polit
ical game as well as any man in the
state.
Fremont Salesman Is
Victim of Influenza
Fremont, Neb., Nov. 2. (Special
Telegram.) Floyd D. Roberts, 23,
a traveling salesman, died in a lo
cal hospital from pneumonia. Mr.
Roberts came to Fremont from
Smith Center nearly a year ago.
The body will be taken to Smith
Center for burial.

The Bee's
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For Shoeless Children
"How did The Bee come to
start the shoe fund?" a number
of people have asked.
It was this way. A Bee reporter
met Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, a
worker for the Board of Public
Welfare. "Can't your paper do
something to help the poor little
children this winter?" she asked.
"Shoes are high and many families
find it impossible to buy .them. I
know how much shoes cost, for I
used to buy them for my two
boys, but Uncle Sam is buying
their shoes now, so I can supply
two other boys. Wouldn't some
other parents whose boys are in
the army now buy shoes for some
of these little children instead?"
Other welfare workers corrob
orated her statement as to the
unusual need and The Bee started
the fund.

JULIUS S. COOLEY
FOR MUNICIPAL. JUDGE
wishes it understood that when he is
elected to the office of municipal judge,
he will be the poor man's judge as he
has been the poor man's lawyer in the
past. He is an advocate of union labor
and recognizes the card man as one of
good character. He believes in an in
creased watte for firemen and policemen
as well as an increased wage for the lab
oring man commensurate with the latest
increased cost of living. He is a man of
education, a law graduate and has been a
practicing attorney in Omaha for more
than a score of years. He was at one time
intimately associated with the late John
M. Thurston. Cooley is not possessed of
great gobs of coin, but has made many
dollars in his law practice here which he
has used and donated to champion the
poor man's rights in police court. Like
Socrates and Diogenes, Cooley has his
eccentricities but his heart is right and
we believe he should be one of the three
men elected as municipal judge. Benson

Jefferris Greeted
, With Enthusiasm .
On Speaking Trip
Albert V. Jefferis, republican con
gressional candidate for the Second
district, covered an itinerary of
meetings last night, concluding at
Fifteenth and Farnam streets. He
was received with favor everywhere.
.. "The history of the republican
parly is a history of loyalty and ac
complishment for the advancement
of the institutions of our country,"
he said at Twenty-fourth street and
Ames avenue.
Every great achievement of our
country has been obtained under a
-republican administration. The pur
pose of law and government is to
obtain prosperity and happiness to
every citizen and that is what the
republican party stands for and it is
what its record shows.
"The time has come to say that
. when one part of our people is do
ing their full share in a great cause
r and crisis, they shall also have a
voice in the affairs of that great
cause.", ' .
He reasoned that if republican
heroes and money are good enough
to help save the world for democ
racy, then there is no reason why
republicans should nrt have a voice
in the spending of money for the
war. .
"If elected, I will do all in my
newer to put Omaha on the map,"
be said, referring to Congressman
, Lobeck's do-nothing record.
