THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 1, 1919.

KIWANIS START
HUMANE SOCIETY
DRIVE OF 810,000
Civic Organization Members
Assist in Taking Care of
Children Handicapped
in This Life.
Today the Kiwanis club, whose
membership comprises representa
tive business and professional men
of all lines, will start off on its cam
paign to raise a budget of $10,000
for the Nebraska Humane society
in its work of seeing that the han
dicapped children have proper
homes and that they are given prop
er parental care.
The local humane society's work
among children , has developed to
the extent that a children's aid divi
sion has been established, and this
is the real big work of this organi
zation. The growth of Omaha and
the expansion of the activities of
the Humane society are two of the
talking points of the Kiwanis club
members when they say: "Be a big
brother to some poor, homeless,
friendless kid Give!"
Out for Better City.
The Kiwanis club of Omaha and
of more than 150 other cities of this
country have a record of doing
things that are worth while. One
of the objects of the club is: "To
work for the civic development of
the city along lines that will make
for a bigger and better city, socially
and commercially." One hundred
and seventy-five members of the
local club are all busy men, but they
are never too busy to get behind a
worthy object, which they always
carry to a successful conclusion,
once they have announced a deter
mination to act. There is no such
word as "fail" in the vocabulary of
a Kiwanis.
Members of this organization are
pledged to "Make Kiwanis a recog
nized power in the community for
clean, healthy, progressive and prof
itable influence in all business and
professional activities. "The word
"Kiwanis," is taken from an Indian
phrase which means, "honest
trader." The word is the symbol of
direct dealing and forthright honor
among men.
This compaign in behalf of the
Humane Society will be started off
toriny by announcements in the
churches. Beginning tomorrow.
Omaha will be greeted by a host of
Kiwanis club members and volun
teer assistants in an appeal for
money with which to carry on the
work of the Humane society.
Omaha will receive measure for
measure in the form of service in
behalf of children who need protec
tion and care.
Children recognized as handi
capped and who will receive aid
from this fund come under these
elapses- Neglected and dependent,
physically defective, mentally defec
tive, delinquent, children of unmar-i
ried parents, children in need of
protection from cruelty,..! and im
proper standards ofnome life.

Refuses to Be "Dead

Banogr Me. Private George
Davis of Bangor, whom Maine pa
pers recently reported "killed in ac
tion," says he absolutely refuses to
be a dead one. Like Mark lwain
he has read his own obituary in a
home paper and found out what a
fine chap he really is. He has sent
home a photograph taken in France
at Chaumont and, like Mark Twain,
he says that the report that he is
dead is very much exaggerated.

FOOD SITUATION
IN GERMANY IS
IMPROVING FAST
While American Food Ship
ments Swell Bellies of
Huns, They Still Clamor
for Tobacco.
By ALFRED G. ANDERSEN,
(International Xewn Srvic Staff
Correnpondmt.)
Berlin, May 31. The arrival of
American food shipments has
caused a decided improvement in
the food situation in Germany.
Moderate quantities of fats are now
doled out, and there is some milk
for the children. Altogether the
task of keeping alive looks brighter
than it has for a long time.
The problem that now asserts it
self with pronounced emphasis in
the existance of the German people
i3 that of smokes. Friedrichstrasse
and Leipzigerstrasse are thickly
dotted with war invalids offering
suspicious substitutes for cigars and
cigarets that differ only in the la
bels on the boxes. The "fillings"
are about the same in all, one-third
tobacco and two-thirds cabbage or
beech leaves. In many instances
no tobacco at all. The prices of
these cigarets range from S to 10
cents each. A quarter will buy a
cigar. This is an excessive price,
considering that before the war ci
gars made exclusively from real to
bacco could be had at two or three
cents each, I
The hue and cry of Germany's
smoking population and that in
cludes practically every person from
12 years if-is tobacco. Not neces
sarily American tobacco, but tobacco
of some kind from anywhere.
Dealers and manufacturers whom
I have interviewed figure that Ger
many's present tobacco supply will
be completely exhausted by the end
of June. As a consequence of this
prospect prices are advancing still
higher, while cigars and cigarets are
growing smaller.
At the offices of the well-known
cigaret manufacturer, Garbaty, I was
told that the reason for the long
paper mouthpieces on their cigarets
was the necessity of diminishing the
actual smoking part of the cigarets
and still give them a presentable
length.
Former French Premier
Faints During Discussion
Paris, May 31. Alexander Ribot,
former premier and foreign min
ister and long identified with the
political affairs of France, suffered
a fainting spell during the discus
sion on financial matters in the sen
ate "'yesterday but later recovered
sufficiently to continue his address.
M. Ribot said the country wanted
to know what Germany was going
to pay and in what measure would
be realized by the allies of France
the principle of financial solidarity
accepted by them in 1914 and 1915.
Thrillers Told by Boys From
War Amuse Those in France
Chester Hansen of Field Signal Corps Takes Exception
to Giving All Credit of Winning War to Marines
and Members of Rainbow Division, Insisting That
First Division Was Neglected.
"The most humorous part of the
war as we see it over here is read
ing the thrilling accounts of returned
war horses in American journals,"
asserts Chester A. Hansen, Com
pany A, field signal corps, First
United States army division, now
stationed at Wirges, Germany, in a
letter to The Bee.
Hansen, in his letter, insists that
undue credit has been given the
marines and the famous Rainbow
division for their part in the war.
He submits data to show that the
First division has been much neg
lected so far as publicity is con
cerned. The Regular Army Man.
"It is actually hell to be a regular
army man," he writes. "Ask the
9th and 23d infantry, for instance.
All they ever did was bear the brunt
of the many battles fought by the
Second division. Later they had the
pleasure of reading how the marines
won the same battles.
"Why, I actually know that the
marines captured more prisoners in
Paris while on military police duty
than any six divisions in France.
"The Marine Weekly, sometimes
incorrectly called the Literary Di
gest, is a good example of publicity
furnished the marines, the national
guard and the national army. Every
month it ran a column about an
inquiry into the alarming casualty
list of the 35th division.
Here Were Some Cases.
Did you ever see or hear of an
investigation of casualties suffered
by the First division? Especially
in the Argonne battle, where we
lost 937 more men than the 35th
division lost during the entire war.
"The First division was the first
in France, it tired the first shot at
Fritz, it captured the first prisoners,
it suffered the first casuals, it was
picked by General Foch as the one
American division to stem the tide
of the German's advance in Picardy,
and it launched the first American
offensive at Cantigny. Why can't
we have some credit?"
Hansen enlisted in Omaha when
the war against Germany was de
EXPERTS STUDY
DISPOSITION OF
HUN GOLJDSUPPLYi
Money Paid for Food Supplies
Held in Belgian Bank
To Cecure Payment of ,
Allied Debts to U. S. '
Paris, May 31. Economic experts
with the different delegations at the
peace conference are making a close
study of the disposition to be made
of the gold which the Germans are
paying for food supplies. This gold
is being stored in the Belgium na
tional hank. Realizing there would
be a general disturbance of the world
credits if the gold should be taken
to the United States, economists
have advanced a plan to hold the
metal where it is as security which
will be gradually redeemed by ship
ments of commodities to various
parts of the world.
Experts hold this plan will se
cure the payment of allied debts to
America and assist in restoring al
lied countries to normal conditions
of employment. It is said that the
payments are readily reducing the'
German gold reserve.
