NEBRASKA BOY DIES FIGHTING GERMAN AIRMEN Lieutenant Carles Describes Battle Overseas in Which Lieutenant Lehr Lost His Life From a Staff Correspondent Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 24. (Special.) That Lieutenant Manderson Lehr died fighting, and before making the supreme sacrifice did as he had done before sent his antagonists to their doom is evidenced by information coming to Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Lehr, his parents, at Albion, in a letter from Lieutenant Carles, a French . i oDserver ana Lenrs companion; stating he received his death while guiding his airplane in a battle with the Boches. Lieutenant Lehr was a nephew of Charles F. Manderson, late of Onia- na, and" had been in the airplane service in France about three years, having gained the distinction of be ing one of the most successful fight ers, and had several times been rromoted for bravery. Wheq the news of his death was received by his parents last August! little was known except that it was believed that he was sent to earth inside the German lines, and his friends had hoped he might have been cap tured and might still be alive. Account of Battle. In his letter Lieutenant Carles gi-es the following thrilling account of the battle in which Lehr was killed: "On July IS, about 10 o'clock in the morning, we received the order the Bochei having passed the Marne to make flight between Chateau Thierry and Dormans. The weather was bad; rain in torrents; clouds at 800 meters. We set out, three airplanes, the commander of the squadron at the head, we at the right. - "On passing over the enemy lines in the clouds the airplane at the head losi us and upon emerging from the clouds I noticed a patrol of a number of Boche chasers. I pointed it out t$ Lehr and the at tack began. The firsi attacked "s from the rear andat the left. I released a torrent of shot against them, and it struck on their wing. The second was at our rear and left, and after our shots made a nose dive, and went away immediately But during this time a third( had placed itself exactly bejieath' our tail at IS meters and gave us a terrible shfill fire. Grateful to Americans. "During the conflict I tried to it tract Lehr's attention and then saw thlt he did not move and had given up control of the machine. We had hit the Boches so hard they had left us, but the artillery fire against us prevented our landing. In spite of my wounds I was able to guide" the plane, which was in names, into a forest, where ft crashed. ' . "I was relieved some time aftef ward by the American soldiers. Immediately I asked them where my pilot was, and they made me under stand that he had ceased to live." - T iiitn:int f"nrlis o-av a tnnrh- ing tribute to Manderson's bravery and Invahle character, and . in clos ing hi letter said: " "We French will never be able to be grateful enough to "you Ameri cans who are giving us the best of your youth."

(Special.) Representations are made to The Bee on behalf of nearly 100 soldiers from Omaha, and several hundred more Nebraska boys, in motor and radio service training at Lincoln, that they are being forced to drill daily in a freezing wind, in rain and in snow, clad in summer khaki, not yet having been issued their win ter uniforms or overcoats. Men leaving the barracks Satur day in a pouring ram who were wearing their own raincoats were stopped by guards who forced them to remove the coats because they were not issued. No overcoats were permitted, if civilian. This order was amended this past week, but coming here in October, most of the men came without overcoats and many were unable to afford to buy new ones. "The fact that we expect our dis charge soon," declared one of the men, does not ameliorate the un necessary hardships we have to suf fer. We march at double time, get a perspiration and then stand 'at rest' in the cold. Nearly every man in our company of about 300 men has a cold. That is why we ask in the name of common sense that we either receive our discharge im mediately or . proper winter cloth ing. Three Eastern Nebraska Residents Die During Week Ayoca, Neb., Nov. 24.

Influenza, followed by pneumonia, was the cause oihia deaAi ' r: . - Ftom a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Nov. 24. (Special) -Another week has passed and Governor-elect Samuel McKelvie has not ifturned to Lincoln to give joy to the hearts of some and grief to a whole lat more, for if ever tne old saying will be again demon strated that, many are called and few chosen, it will be exemolified when the new governor gives out a list or the appointees -coming un der nis jurisdiction. If Governor McKelvie wants to he can surround himself with noire folks for there are ibout two to halt a dozen applicants for nearly every job within the gift of the n w governor. If the governor's right hand man, Mr. Bross, knows any thing about who the appointments will go to, he is doing a mighry good job of imitating the Sphinx and not even a slip of the tongue gives any indication of what the harvest will be. One Picks a Deputy. - It is said that one state officer elect who lives in Lincoln has al ready picked his deputy from th"i town. Another who lives out in the state has done likewise. It is pretty' well known that many of the minor appointments will go to Lin coln, so far as the state depart ments are concerned. Whether the new governor will fall for the same thing is not known, but it is hoped by republicans, looking toward the future success of the party that the s"ate outside Linciln will be recog nized. Most of the old-stagers, who have at some time in the past held jobs under republican administrations are said to have an itching to hold office again, but republicans are hoping that the new governor will take into consideration that a new crop of republicans has grown up since tl.e time when republicans used to hold forth at the statehouse and tlmt the new crop will be reog nized in the appointments. Governor McKelvie was called to Washington last week to confer with officials of the agricultural de partment and may not get home this week, and. then again he nny. Colonel Phil Bross, if he knows, will not tell, and up to the last announc ment emphatically declared that no body knew when the newexecutive will s..ow up. American Jewish Year i Book Contains Many Facts of Much Interest New York, Nov. 24. The Ameri can Jewish vear book for 5679 H918- f99) edited for the AmericaiiMew- lsh committee by Dr. SamsonxD. Oppenheim, and just issued bv the Jewish Publication Society of America, devotes considerable space to its articles dealing with the col lecting of Jewish war statistics, the Jewish JVelfare board and the Jews of Serbia, as well as to other'sub jects of general interest. In figuring on the Jewish copula tion of the United States, the editor describes his methods of arriving at a new estimate of the Jewish popu lation in the. United States. An ac curate estimate of the Jewish popu lation of the United States is at present particularly important, as it helps to determine the proportionate contribution that the Jews are mak ing to the war. In this article will be found a mass of figures showing in tabular form how the Jewish pop ulation of the country is distributed; much enlightening- statistical data concerning the Jewish population of various classes of American cities. together with , an exhaustive and novel treatment of the Jewish popu lation of New York City, which, as is known, contains almost one-half of the Jews in the United States. Ac cording to the best estimates the Jewish' population in the United States amounts, to over 3,3U0,UUU, while New York City alone has 1,500,000 Jewish inhabitants. Dr. Oppenheim reports that New York City, which contains the larg est Jewish community that has ever existed within the confines of a sin gle municipality, has over 2,200 con gregations, 180 religious schools witir41,403 pupils, exclusive of about 14,000 who attend private schools. Ityhas over 100 recreational and cul tural agencies, more than 1,000 mu tual aid societies, 965 lodges, 193 economic agencies, and 164 philan thropic nd correctional agencies. Nine cities, exclusive of New York City,. contain, an aggregate of over 9,200,000 inhabitants, of which 900,000 are Jews, as follows: Chi cago, 225,000; Philadelphia, 200,000; Cleveland, 100,000; Boston, 77.500; St. Louis, 60,000; Baltimore, 60,000; Pittsburgh, 60,000; Newark, 55,000; Detroit, 50,000. Other valuable features are calen dar of the year, the calendar for 100 years, thelist of national organiza tions, the list of Jewish periodicals, the list of Jewish federated charities, the list of Jewish members in the congress of the United States, and the statistics of the Jews throughout the world. Appended are the annual reports of the American Jewish committee and of the Jewish Pub lication Society of America. Police Commissioner Talks -on After-the-War Problems Asserting that the problems of peace, especially during the recon struction period, are more difficult of solution than .the t problem:, of war, Police Commissioner Ringer in a patriotic' address delivered at the Deitz Memorial church Sunday night, called the attention of the brotherhood of the church to the im portance of preparing for the return of the soldiers being released from military service. It had been announced that Mr. Ringer would speak on "What a church can do to helpTceep a city clean." However, he did not touch on this subject, devoting his entire attention, io af er-war conditions, - j WAR. PUZZLES .

BATVRDATS ANSWER Left side down nose at left shoulder. ONE GREED FOR ALL CHURCHES WOTPOSSIHI Rev. Mr. Leavens of the Opin ion That Christians Can not All Fight Under One Banner. Speaking on "Evangelicals, and Li berals," at the First Unitarian church Sunday morning, the pastor, Rev. Robert F. Leavens, in part, said: "Nations and churches are pass ing through the same process, try ing to find a way to live and work together without fighting. Imperial ism is impossible for the churches of Christendom as fctr the nations of the earth. They will never unite under the dominion of one divinely appointed ruler, or under the ban ner of one creed. , "A happy beginning has been made in Omaha in the federation of the churches. The terms of member ship were as liberal as could be de sired until a motion was passed re stricting the membership to "Evan gelicals," which was defined as meaning "those aho believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world." Some Modest Claim. "Someone has said that the Uni tarians disclaim being either Chris tian of evangelical. Where did he get his authority? If to be a Christian means' to measure up to the fullness of the stature of the Man of Nazareth, we are not Christian, nor is any church or any nation. But if it means to honor and revere the name of Jesus, to try to follow his example and live as he lived, we have some modest claim to that title. "But the principle' for which we stand in this issue is that for which the Pilgrims came to America, re ligious liberty, 'feedom to worship God.' Any official creed, any doc trine imposed as a condition of membership is a violation of re ligious libei'ty. Creeds have been the cause of strife, persecution, dis honesty, and have impeded the; growth of men's minds and souls. It is for the sake bf honesty, spir itual growth, and unity of purpose that we appeal to all churches to rid themselves of the incubus of creeds. It is a moral principle and not a doctrinal question for which we are contending. Back Turned on Church. "This stickling for creeds is an illustration of the pettiness, weak ness, and inefficiency of the church. From France come many reports that our young men in the army have forgotten their creeds and found God, and are bitter against the church for having done no bet ter by them than it did. Not only soldiers, but also wage-earners, bus iness men, and professional men in large numbers have turned their backs upon the church, are bitter against it, disgusted with it, or hold it up to ridicule. Whose fault is it that the church has not done its duty? It is first of all the fault of the people in the churches, but not theirs alone. Even more to blame are the men and wome outside the churches for permitting it by their neglect to be inefficient. "Especially the men and women of ability and vision, of big minds and big hearts, are at fault, for they can see that the church is not what it should be, yet never lift a hand to help in making it what it might be. . - , "The church is not a private en terprise; it belongs to the public Less than one-half of the public is inside the church; more than one half is outside. And the responsi bility for its weakness is divided between the two in exactly that pro portion. ' The outside public is more than half to blame.
