Omaha Man with A. E. F.
x Writes That United States
Troops Are Always in
Foreground.
Sergeant Samuel Gibson of the
United States local quartermaster's
department has received from
Charles L. Gyger an interesting let
ter from overseas. Mr. Gyger,
whose home is 1125 South Thirty-
: second street, was connected with
; the quartermaster's department for
many years, and has been holding a
responsible position with the A. E.
F. It is probable that he may return
a Omaha about Christmas time on
; a furlough.
The letter, dated at St. Florent,
"-""Trance, follows: "Your good letter,
in which you inclose a copy of Thej
Umaha bee with a picture ot our
mayor preparing to take a flyer,
j reached me here, today, being for-
j warded from Paris. Was mighty
i g'ad to hear from one of the old
J crowd at the Omaha depot, as it is
' just like a message from home,
t "We are a pretty busy bunch over
f here, having grown from 168, the
J first expedition which landed on
French soil, June 13, 1917, until
1 now we are more than a couple of
I millions; some increase.
t "While we have plenty of work,
I we have also had much pleasure out
on this trip. This is a very inter-
esting country! and if one cares to
v take advantage of the opportunity,
I; there is much to be seen and learned.
I . Sent to Switzerland.
"I was stationed in Paris from
the date of our arrival until January
I 13 of this year, when our headquar-
terj was moved to a station about
f 150 miles south, where I remained
i until April 4, when I returned to
; Paris, to the office of the chief pur-
chasing officer, Q. M. corps, pre-
j, sided over by Col. H. E. Wilkins, M.
; C, iow in charge of the New York
depot. July 22 I was ordered to
Berne, Switzerland, to organize an
office for the purchasing agent
H there, which I did, with more or less
success. In the meantime I also
took in many of the interesting
' sights of Switzerland. After 10
weeks' pleasant and interesting stay
in Switzerland, I returned to the
Paris office, and on the 12th of this
,i month I was ordered to this little
village to organize an office, at a
- large factory, taken over by the A.
; E. F. for the manufacture oKmetal
ware, utilized by an army in the
5 field. The United States furnished
the. raw materials and fuel, which
are not available in this country, and
' the contractor furnishes the ma
; chinery and labor. It is some job,
going over the old records, poorly
; kept, by inexperienced but willing
help, but we are getting along
' very nicely, and it is hoped that the
I plant will be in good running order
within the next two weeks, when I
'; shall again return to Paris, to be
sent wherever my services may be j
s desired.

formed from day to day, by your
local papers, as to the wonderful
progress of the allies, with the good
Soldiers from the United States al
ways in the foreground. If the(peo
ple of the United States ever had an
opportunity to feel proud $f their
army and its accomplishments, now
is the time, for they most Certainly
have rendered a fine account of
themselves."

Armour Again Postpones
Expected Trip to Omaha
P. D. Armour, head of the great
Armour packing interests, and one
of the busiest men in America, who
with F. E. White, vice-president of
the concern, was expected in Omaha
Friday for an inspection of the local
plant, has again disappointed the
officials of the Omaha Armour pack
ing house.
. Mr. Armour was expected to ar
rive from Chicago. He had been
promising to make a trip to this
city for the past three years but on
the numerous occasions he planned
for the trip some circumstance arose
to p-vent his coming.
It is thought that the glut of hogs
on the eastern market, together with
an embargo and threatened labor
troubles among the 75.000 packing
house employes of Chicago, who
are demanding a flat increase of 25
cents per hour, may have had some
thing to do with the interruption of
his proposed visit to the plant of
this city.
Draft Registrants 'Must
File Their Questionnaires
Local exemption. boards have been
notified that all registrants from
18 to 36 years old must fill out and
file their questionnaires before De
cember 9. All registrants who do
not comply with this order will be
listed as slackers and will be sub
ject to punishment.
Draft boards urge registrants to
heed this warning and report at
once with their questionnaires. Re
turned questionnaires are to be
sealed in boxes December 9 and,
under no consideration, will ques
tionnaires be accepted after that
There have been so many rumors
about draft boards closing and many
registrants, feeling that they "have
gone out of business," do not real
ize that they still are held responsi
ble for filing their questionnaires
and will be listed as slackers if they
do not file them before December 9.

Caoyle's
Canning
Main
Albert of Belgium!
Carlyle, in referring to the origin of kings, shows that the name sprang from Canning, which means "the
strong man." In earlier times the great leaders in war were the Canning the strong and their followers
elevated them and honored them, making them their kings. If ever there was a man who was EVERY INCH
A KING Albert showed himself to be that Canning man when the Arrogant, Ruthless, Powerful Hun de
manded passage for troops through his country. The rank, the title, is more, therefore, than the "guinea
stamp" in Albert's case. Re is indeed greater than king A REAL MAN one who, despite all the trap
pings and tinsel, is "A MAN'S A MAN FOR A' THAT." With this little tribute to this World Nobleman,
which we know most readers will subscribe to, may we get down to the commonplace, and
Direct Your Attention to the Unusual Selling at
Kilpatrick SATURDAY
GLOVES
First we desire to explain to" you why and how we have been able to
offer such remarkable values in Gloves recently. We purchased a short
time ago a retailer's entire stock of Gloves. As Glove stocks go, this is not
a large stock, indeed the merchants from whom we bought it never claim to
be or to have the largest anything. They do, however, pride 'themselves
on quality. Not quantity but quality could well be their slogan. For rea
sons convincing to themselves they decided to sell absolutely and quickly
the whole stock.
Lock stock and Barrel. We bought it, and bought it at a price suffi
ciently low to enable us to give you Rare Glove Values. Saturday will close
out all the odds and ends of this purchase, and include odds from our own
stock. At least 150 dozens, and all will go at
$1.29 per pair
Not since that fateful day, August 1, 1914, when the holocaust started
in Europe, have we offered such values. Please don't ask us to fit Gloves
Saturday. No other gloves will be displayed on our counters.
Now for Something Most Unusual
in Suit Selling
Don't you know that peculiar things happen in
business sometimes, things which ae hard to under
stand or explain? Plan as you will, buy with the
greatest care, select with the best judgment and cal
culation, and you may miss it that's the case pre
cisely with our stock of Suits for Stout Women. Time
has been when we didn't have nearly enough. Now
we have too many. We don't intend to make any
bones about it.

but nevertheless and notwithstanding1
we are likely to have the same old

Does not common sense dictate the
wisdom of selecting now Gloves,
socks, neckwear, mufflers, suspenders,
belts, sweaters, etc.? We ask you Mr.
Man, and we put the question to you

A Dollar Sale of Silk Stockings
How's that? They're fancies; colors black or white and
mostly fashioned. Here's one' place where the $1.00 sign looks
good. Ask Norris, if you like, what he thinks of this.
Women's Underwear A special number of Kaysers. No!
Not made in Germany. These are what is known as band trim
med. Union Suits, $1.29 for regular sizes. $1.49 for extra sizes.
Well known to many of our customers and these will be glad to
avail themselves of this chance. Ask to see Wool Knickers, Auto
matic Warmers, white and grays. Much better and more com
fortable than the short petticoat. Ankle Bilk Bloomers in all
shades are extremely popular just now; warm and not so bulky
as to bulge out the modern skirt.
