Vice Preidenj Marhall aid:
"We have made this fight of ours
not only that all the traditions of the
republic may be preserved, but that
we may lend a helping hand to every
suffering, sighing son of God the
world around. Among them none
have suffered longer nor appealed to
us greater than the persecuted Jew.
Prove by your works your protesta
tions of brotherhood are not mere
lip service."
"My personal regard for my many
Jewish friends," writes Cardinal
Gibbons, "and my deep sense of ap
preciation for their many acts of
kindness and generosity impels me
fo speak in the strongest terms of
admiration of the noble and charita
ble work they have undertaken."
First Appeal By Jews.
The present call constitutes the
first appeal that the American Jews
have made for assistance in caring
for their stricken co-religionists
across the sea. Heretofore the
American Jews have borne the bur
den alone. Many millions of dol
lars have been contributed by them,
in addition to their generous re
sponse to the general calls for other
war charities.
Reports from Europe tell a piti
able story of starving children, ema

Herbert Hoover, head of the allied

thousands will die during the winter

Transcontinental Air Vessel
Arrives on Long Island
After Successful Flight
From Syracuse.
By EDGAR W. CROFT.
Bm R presents tire Abomrd tho Transcon
tinental Airliner.
Hempstead, L. I., Sept. 13. (Spe
cial Telegram.) The giant Lawson
transcontinental airliner arrived
here at 10:3s4 from Syracuse, N. Y.,
after a most successful flight The
leviathan of the air made a perfect
landing on the Mitchell field.
Everything is in readiness now
for the transcontinental New York-Omaha-San
Francisco flight which
is to be begun within the next few
days.
The Mitchell field proved a per
fect landing place and is expected
to be selected as the New York
station of the transcontinental Law
son airline.
To Inspect Omaha Field.
Before the plane start on its
coast-to-coast trip, a representative
of the Lawson Airline Co. will visit
Omaha to inspect the Ak-Sar-Ben
landing field in the Gate city. The
company is taking every precaution
to be sure that the Omaha landing
field, which is expected to be per
manently used by the Lawson plane
on its transcontinental trips, is large
enough. Owing to the small land
ing field in Syracuse, N. Y., the
plane was badly smashed about a
week ago. Both the pilot and the
plane's builder, Albert W. Lawson,
were slightly injured when the giant
airliner dove nose, first into the field,
almost wrecking a building.
Constant working by a force of
skilled men speeded the repairs to
such an extent that the plane is now
in perfect shape to attempt the
transcontinental flight as soon as
the weather permits.
The plane has accommodations
for 26 passengers, has two engines,
and is the largest plane built on the
American continent. Meals are
served aboard the airliner.
Mr. Lawson expects to be in
Omaha in the near futirre to look
over sites for the erection of a fac
tory and repair shop in the Gate
city.

President Assumes
Commander-in-Chief
Role at Naval Review
i
Seattle, Sept 13. The irtt re
view and most magnificent specta
cle vtr viewed by the thouianda
gathered here from all over the
northwest had another angle of the
unusual when, at its close, the presi
dent a commander-in-chief of the
navy virtually took charge of the
Oregon, superseding Secretary Dan
iels. The long line of destroyers had
circled the Oregon when Secretary
Daniels inquired of Captain Ivan C.
Wettengel, commander of the Ore
gon: "Do we get under way now, cap
tain?" "Just as soon a the destroyers
have all passed," the captain replied.
"The destroyers are hove to,"
President Wilson put in.
Captain WettengeJ took a look,
faced about and, touching hi cap,
said:
"Aye, aye, sir."
The Oregon got under way for
the return to the anchorage.
Later the oresident signed the fa
mous visitors' book of the Oregon,
upon which pages are recorded the
names of many of the world's most
prominent men.

leading the destroyer divisions of 27
vessels spaced about 300 yards apart.
From her sides began the presi
dential salute, to be taken up by
each passing destroyer until the bay
for several miles was alive with
crackling guns. The president stood
bareheaded throughout most of the
review at a vantage point on the
forward turret of the Oregon.
A mile down the bay thOe Bir
mingham swung about and, return
inflr. led the destroyers past the
Oregon's bow, the waves cut by the
speedy vessels bobbing about on
the water like corks scores of
gaily decorated pleasure craft which
ventured almost into the very lanes
of the warships. On each vessel
of the fleet the sailors lined the
rails at attention and bands flung
across thewaters the strains of the
national anthem.
Review Comes to End.
Weiching anchor, the Oregon
moved back toward her anchorage,
passing the dreadnaughts Arkansas
and Wyoming and scout cruisers
Vermont, with vice Admiral Wil
liams; North Carolina, Seattle and
Georgia anchored on the opposite
side of the fairway. The Prairie
and Celtic of the train moved into
their docks. A naval tug and two
submarine chasers, which had ac
companied the Oregon to keep the
fairway clear, sheered away.
Anchor chains rattled down and
the review was ended, an hour and
15 minutes' after it began.
On the turret with the president
were Secretary and Mrs. Daniels,
Gov. L. F. Hart of Washington,
the mayors of Seattle and several
other northwest cities, and members
of the Seattle reception committee.
The president appared to enjoy the
bracing air of Fuget Sound im
mensely, as he. stood up time and
again smilingly while batteries of
cameras were turned toward 'him
from deck and mast of the Oregon.
Germans Cannot Afford
to Import American Coal
Berlin, Sept. 13. (By The As
sociated Press.) Importation of
American coal in, quantities suffi
cient to relieve Germany's need is
regarded by the press as inconceiv
able, owing to the cost. Although
German-American negotiations have
resulted in an offer to send Ameri
can coal to this country, it is said,
the price is so high, owing to freight
rates and foreign exchange that the
importation of coal in large quanti
ties is out of the question.

Many Landlords Yield
To Clamor Over Rents
(Oeetlaaed From Feae OmJ
institution of a councilmatic inves
tigation, which in a short while
came to be' regarded as a joke. Then
attorneys were employed by various
groups of tenants. Definite plans
were formulated to take the matter
to the courts. Private investiga
tions were begun. Searchlights be
gan to play on the situation and
landlords began-to tremble. Rumors
were heard and then evidences were
produced of a real estate combine.
Attorneys became more enthused as
they discovered possibilities in the
statutes and tenants became more
eager to continue the fight
Loophole in Lease.
Many landlords read with fear
accounts in The Bee that someone
had been responsible for a careless
loophole in the form of lease adopt
ed by the Building Owners' and
Managers' association of Omaha.
They realized that this loophole
would let the tenant out by simply
offering to pay for the ensuing year
the rate of rent charged for last
year, provided formal written no
tice had not been tendered them by
the landlords 30 days prior to the
date of the expiration of the tense,
to vacate the premises.
Scores -of tenants have never re
ceived such a notice. It is the opin
ion of some of the leading attorneys
of Omaha that such persons can
not, under the terms of the contract
or the provisions of Ihe statute, be
forced to pay an increase in rent
over the rate charged tor last year.
Neither can these tenants be ejected
from their apartments, it was said,
Automatic Renewal.
The form of lease adopted by the
Building Owners and Managers
Association of Omaha, which is said
to have been used last year by four
fifths of the apartment house owners
in the city, also provides that in the
absence of a notice from the tenant
to the owner or manager, or from
the manager to the tenant, indicating
the apartment is to be vacant, 30
days from the date of such a notice,
the agreement automatically is re
newed under , the same terms and
conditions as that contained in the
lease for the previous year.
The discovery of this joker in the
contract, which was prepared by at
torneys representing the ovners and
managers, is believed to have been
responsible for many of the land
lords seeking a compromise with
their tenants.
It has been explained that such a
provision incorporated in the form
of lease under ordinary conditions
would work in favor of the lessor or
owner.
Many rental agents, who complied
with this provision, however, have
agreed to a compromise also. It is
believed they feared the publicity
they realised was inevitable if they
continued in a determination to
carry out their profiteering policy.
In nearly every instance where
landlord and tenant have effected
a compromise, the principal demand
on the tenant has been, "Keep this
out of the newspapers." The would
be rent profiteers are unanimous in
voicing a fear that the abandonment
of their profiteering demands will
be published.
So far as could be learned, the
landlords have incorporated only
this one qualifying provision in the
compromise.
Tenants have seen fit to accept it.
In the event all of the apartment
house owners in the city meet the
situation on the same basis, it was
aeciarea tnac no names would De
published.
"It will be known within a few
days," declared an attorney repre
senting the occupants of one of the
largest apartment houses here,
"whether or not there are any land
lords in Omaha who propose to al
low their names to remain on the
unfair list and face the issue in dis
trict court before a jury of 12 men."
BOLSHEVIK RUSS
FORCES RECEIVE
SOUND BEATING
Three Regiment! Surrender and
Two Others Destroyed by '
Denikine's Men.
London, Sept. 13. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) The war office an
nounces a decisive victory over the
bolshevik forces at Tsaritsyn bv
General Denikine, in which 9.000
prisoners, 11 guns and 100 machine
guns were taken. Three bolshevik
regiments surrendered and two
others were destroyed.
The announcement says:
"The right wing of Wrangel's vol
unteer army was engaged for the
past week in a stubborn and suc
cessful defense of Tsaritsyn against
repeated bolshevik attacks from the
northeast and south. The main at
tack was supported by an armed
flotilla on the Volga and continued
for three days. The enemy was fi
nally repulsed, leaving 9,000 prison
ers, 11 guns and 100 machine guns.
Three bolshevik regiments surren
dered and two others were destroyed."

Short, Rippled Suit Coats

It has been decided, very wisely, too,
that although the more mature woman
shall don the long and slenderizing
suit coat for Fall, the debutante shall
wear a short, full-skirted coat which
fits snugly at the waistline.
A number of new models arrived Sat
