THE BEE; OMAHA, THURSDAY, r APRIL 17, 1919 ADVERTISERS UNITE AGAINST SOLDIERJRAUDS Say Men Prostitute Uniform By Using It As Cloak for Collecting Funds for Questionable Use. , The extension division of the As sociated Advertising Clubs of the World has addressed circulars of . warning to organizations through out the country, calling attention to schemes of designing promoters to commercialize the United States uniform for illegitimate purposes. "I have heard of a few of these schemes having been worked in Omaha." stated P. P. Fodrea of the local Associated Advertising and Selling League. "I understand that magazine subscription proposition is tne latest to be tried here." Worked Scheme Here. Two months ago the board of public welfare, city prosecutor and tne co-operative employment office in the court house took cognizance of the presence of a group of pro moters who registered at a leading notei. ihey advertised for dis- charged soldiers in uniform to sell pictures ii-om nouse to nouse. When these promoters were called upon to prove that their larsre profits were being used as claimed. they "folded their tents like the Arab and as silently stole away." An detract from the circular re ceived from the Associated Adver tising Clubs of the World follows: "From several eastern points come reports of men in uniforms taking subscriptions for unknown papers and magazines with patriotic sounding names. The subscription price is 'only a dollar a year,' and the impression is usually given that the profit from the publication is use for the benefit of returned sol diers." Continuing: "Sympathetic citi zens are not inclined to hestttate at handing a dollar to a soldier out of ' work, even though they know that the article they are purchasing, or the subscription they are giving, is of little value. ' Aiding a Grafter.. "Nine times out of tery they are helping a grafter who was a slacker during the war and one who is either using a purchased uniform and stolen discharge papers,' or, if the man is really a discharged soldier, he is one whom his fellew soldiers would be the first to condemn for bringing dishonor upon them and the uniform they wore." , The national, vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising clubs urges employers to give employment to every discharged soldier. Leaves Newspaper Game to Do Welfare, Work Overseas Miss Ella Fleishman, Member of The Bee Staff for More Than Pour Years, Will Go to France to Work Among Soldiers' and Sailors. . Miss Ella Fleishman left Omaha last night for France. She, has been selected as one of the overseas workers of the Jew ish welfare board foe, activities among soldiers and sailors, and she received orders by wire to report in New York at once. She expects to remain in New York only long enough to be fitted with an overseas uniform '-and se cure the rest of the exterislve equip ment carried by the overseas work ers. She will sail, probably, next week and go direct to Paris, the headquarters of the organization. From there she will be assigned to the work she is to do. It may be in Italy, Palestine, France; Bel gium or almost anywhere else. Miss Fleishman has been a mem ber of The Bee staff for more than four years. She is a daughter of Rabbi Fleishman. Her home is at 1919 Burt street. There are few girls in Omfha who have such a wide circle of good friends as Miss'' Fleishman. Her long service as head of the wom an's department of The Bee and as a reporter brought her into con tact with most -of the women of prominence in the city, and a charm ing disposition has turned acquaint ances into warm friends by the hun dreds. "... . Long before the armistice was signed Miss Fleishman had made application to go overseas to help in the work of ministering to the soldiers and to the people in the stricken areas of the war-torn coun tries. But her youth was against her. The organization having this work in charge had a minimum age limit which Miss Fleishman had not yet attained. ri) , biuce the armistice was signfedTsidestepped some elaborate send T less stress has been laid on the overseas girls being up to the mini mum age. Miss Fleishman, with character istic modesty, has kept her plans somewhat secret and has gracefully offs" planned in her honor.

Baltzly of the Kountze Memorial Lutheran church in a sermon Wednesday on the text, "No other foundation can be laid than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus." Dr. Baltzly set forth four ways in which humanity is building,, and elaborated these with reference to the proper foundation for such world structures. "Men are first of all,, said he, building a civilization for this world. Humanity has tried three methods of attaining civilization, through commerce and science and education, and yet five years ago the great crash of war signalized the failure of these three. Thev failed because all were built on selfishness, and because they have no power to regenerate the human heart. I he Lgospel ot Jesus is the only power that can regenerate." ' Mayor Ed P.
