Daily, MM: Sssdiy, $.!; Dally us Sis tS.Mj uttld N. r"ttt .ti TWO CENTS. $318,000 GIVEN BYOMAHANS TO U, W, 17, FUNDS City's Goal, However, is Set at Half Million and Army of , Workers Keeps Up Fast Pace. , The United War Work cam paign committee in Omaha, after, tabulating returns to noon Friday, announced that an actual donation of $318,000 had been made here. Subscriptions expected Friday after noon will easily put Omaha ' over the top on its original quota of $325,000. , But the drive here, with the added duty of oversubscribing by 50 per cent or more, as asked by the na tional committee after the original quota hadybeen sent and found in adequate, must continue through out the week and possibly into next .week, to raise at least $175,000 more and go over the top "right." This means that Omaha, by the end of the drive, will have raised nearly $500,000. Aces are Heard From. The committee of "aces," headed by Chief "Ace" B. W. Hart, origin ated for the purpose of ''hunting down" those citizens of Omaha who are not responding to the call in a manner commensurate with their financial condition, are now being heard from. They are following up all who are "lagging" behind in do nating and they boast that when they finish their work it will have been impossible for any man who, was able to give not to have given his full share. The 100 per cent class of business houses, firms and individuals are mounting in numbers. Among those reported Friday was the Northwest ern freight house, the employes of which subscribed $1,500, a 100 per cent showing,. V ? All Work, No Play. "It's going to be 'all work 'and no play' from now on," announced "Bob'-Manley, in charge of the drive in Omaha. "The various forms of entertainment and other 'boost ing' features will be discontinued for the remainder of the drive. We are now going after the donations." Reports of the prpgress of the campaign throughout the state indi cate that Nebraska is responding in its usual generous manner. How ever, Friday was most generally set aside throughout the state as the "big"-day in the drive' the time for all to respond to the call and tele grams from various pities and totons ' state that "we're 'going over the top, sure, Friday." In various sec tions the day jwas taking much the form of X holiday.
