Yet, every tree in the camouflage

5 New Products of War.
r: Camouflage is one of the disfcinct
' fy new products of the. war, even in
Hie name, which was used for the
first time by General de Castle

flie word is not good French, but

.slang, the verb, "camoufler," being
Used by French to indicate any dis
guise used to capture criminals. For
f' xample, a detective camouflages
imself by dressing as a coachman.
U Early in the war the famous por
trait painter, Giron de Sivela, con
ceived the idea of disguising bat
teries and buildings by painting
' Jthem in fantastic patterns blending
- ith the lanscape. Heelaid the plan
sbefore General de Castlenau. who,
. Struck with the practical value of
4he plan, exclaimed "Camouflage."
And from that, time the words grew

But there must be something more
than stage properties in the pro--auctions

BRILLIANT PART
TAKEN BY YANKS
IN HAIG'S DRIVE
(Contlnsed from Page On-)
taken y the Americans in the Au
denanic sector was 1.500.
The capture of Valenciennes was
a fine piece of generalship. In their
.drive of Friday the Canadians
pushed across the Rhonelle and es
tablished their Jines east and rest
below the city, then turning sharp
ly southward. Above the city's
nt rthern limits the whole country
had been flooded so there was no
possibility of attacking across it.
Tlius-tlje Germans werexut off by
water to the north and by the Brit
ish, to the west and south. The
eastern exit from the city was the
only one left open. ' One other pos
sible means ot escape was by
smashing off the point' of the Can
adian salient to the south of the
city. .' , .
k' Then the German's rushed out, by
the eastern' gates of the city, with
all possible material, leaving snip
ers and machine gunners who had
been giving their lives to protect the
rear of the m'ain German line. Ger
man, transports and troops raced to
the northeast along the highway
leading to Mons. Meanwhile, Brit
ish guns were working destruction
in the retiring ranks of the foe.
Hun Losses Tremendous.
South of Valenciennes, where the
fapadians have been operating, the
German losses were ' tremendous.

She battlefield than- the Canadians
ever have seen before in a similar
area. S , v
The prisoners reached some 4,000
this morning and they are still com

more . prisoners than its total
strength of infantry.
German troops today were throw
ing explosives and gas into the de
fenseless city which the British have
so carefully avoided bombarding be
cause of the danger to civilians.
Despite this danger the streets
were filled with people cheering
hysterically at their release and ac
claiming their, deliverance.
Wilson Gives His Support
to Walsh for U. S. Senate
Boston, Nov. 3. A telegram from
President Wilson saying that he
"would feel confident of the support"
of former Gov. David I. Walsh, dem
ocrat, if he were elected to the sen
ate, was received by Edward A. Fi
lene last night. Mr. Filene had
wired to the president asking his at
titude toward Mr. Walsh in view of
a statement made by Senator John
W. Weeks, his opponent, in a
speech this week that Mr. Walsh
had been unable to obtain the presi
dent's personal endorsement of his
candidacy. ' . '
Ihe president's telegram follows:
"Your telegram calling my atten
tion to statement in Senator Week's
speech at Fitchburg, Mass., received.
If any doubt exists as to my atti
tude toward Mr: Walsh I am glad
to have an opportunity to say I
would feel confident of his support
and Mr. Weeks has given me every
reason to be confident of his opposition."
War Revenue Bill Revision

Washington, Nov. 3. Revision of
the $8,000,000,000 war revenue bill
was suspended by the seriate finance
committee until November 8, to al

Vladivostok, Nov. 3. The official

Mrv Moorhead estimates that the

Samuel R. McKelvie, who spent
several days in Omaha during the

"What's the matter, congressman,

the former Lobeck man.
Lobeck tried to smile, but the
weight of woe on his mind could
not be overcome by forced merri

The fact, of the business is, that
Lobeck is worried and not even the
boyish good-nature of Jim Hanley
can make him feel otherwise.

"We are tired of having a messen
ger boy represent the becond con
gressional district in congress," is an
expression frequently heard along
political row.
A communication from "One Who
Knows" gives a reminder of some
things folks might forget. It reads:
"With your permission we would
like to sav a few words in regard to
the coming election. After reading
the democratic papers, it looks as if
the patriots are all on the democratic
ticket, but let us see: M. L. Endres,
county treasurer and candidate for
re-election, was born in Germany.
His head deputy is of German de
scent and the five best-salaried posi
tions are filled by Germans. The
ex-manager of Val Peter's German-
language paper is one or his cniet
deputies. When our first Red Cross
drive was started, Mr. EHas, one of
his clerks, asked to get off so he
could play in a voluntary band for a
few days, but Mr. Endres said 'No,'
and that was final. Where do our
'pro's' come in? Let us keep the
records straight. These are indis
putable facts. Investigate a little
before you vote. Some of the demo
cratic newspaper patriots need in
vestigation. Make no mistake."
Harry V. Hay ward, one of the
wheel-horses of local democracy,
told Congressman Lobeck's secre
tary, "Jim" Hanley, that he in
tended to vote the republican ticket
tomorrow.
This disaffection came to a head
when Hayward called Hanley to ac
count for the faux pas promoted by
'democrats Saturday night at Fif
teenth and Farnam streets. Select
ing the particular corner where the
republicans had arranged a meeting,
aroused Hayward's cholex.
"Why did you want to pull that
stuff for?" Hayward asked.

! When my husband died, my two sons,' Sylvester
and Leo, of military age, took charge of our store busi
ness and carried it on until, the United States declared
war. We sold out the store and they both volunteered
before there was any draft law. In fifty-eight days
they were in France and were there training and in the
trenches. and in the fighting for over a year. The great
battle of Chateau-Thierry began July 18 and on the fol
lowing day both of my sons were killed in that terrific
fight. . ,
. They had been in France ten 'months defending
their country while men of the caliber of Senator Nor
ris were quibbling and delaying things at home. x
Ex-President Roosevelt and his good wife had
four sons of military age and they gave them all to the
country's cause and I praise them for it. I gave only
two, but I gave all I had. The Roosevelts have one son
buried on foreign soil; both of mine are buried there,
et Senator Norris says that my sons died fighting for
the money lords and for a flag with a dollar mark on it.
If my sons were here to vote or if my husband were here
they would vote for no man fchat expresses such senti
ments; they would sure vote for John H. Morehead,
whose only son is fighting in France for the American
flag and all that it represents.

EL VIE
Republican Candidate
For GOVERNOR.
t- S. R. McKelvie is the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. We believe that he knows the hearts of the
people of Nebraska and that, if elected, he will faith
fully reflect their sentiments and ideals. .,
Mr. McKelvie .was born and feared on his father's
farm in Clay county, where he remained until he' be
came of r.e. AH his interests are and always have
been. in . Nebraska. For more than thirteen years he
has been directing the destinies of Nebraska's pioneer
farm paper, "The Nebraska Farmer," of which he Is
publisher and principal owner. This has kept him In
immediate touch with industrial business and social t
conditions throughout the state.
Mr. McKelvie's political record is an open book. He
was Lieutenant Governor of Nebraska . from 1913. to
1915, a member of the State Legislature from 1911 to
1913, and a member of the Lincoln City Council from
1908 to 1909. The following is quoted from Mr. Mc
Kelvie's platform :
"I stand for the prosecution of the war until the Un
conditional aurrender of our enemie. And I beliera that
every individual should lie permitted to do hi share re
gardleia of party affiliation. Partisanship must be elimi.
nated from all war activities. I denounce profiteering
, and discrimination in price fixing. I favor state and na
tional prohibition. I favor equal suffrage. I favor the
development of all natural resources of the state. More
efficient and economical distribution of the products of
the fields and factories of Nebraska must be encouraged.
Waste, graft and favoritism fn public office must be dis
placed bj efficiency and honest service."
McKelvie is definitely opposed to the Hitchcock-Mullen-Gooch
Machine, which has. for so long domi
nated Nebraska politics. McKelvie's election will .mean
the return of representative government to" Nebraska.
A vote for McKelvie is a vote against the machine.
