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." '

Lincoln, Neb,, Nov. 24. (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

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.

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.
