Months' Losses Total
$50,000.
The Council Bluffs police depart
ment was - notified yesterday that
another successful big raid had been
made on country stores in this vi
cinity. Wednesday about midnight
the general store of Saar & Co. at
' Essex, about 40 miles south of Coun
cil Bluffs, was raided and $8,000
worth of clothing hauled away in
an automobile truck. The'Essex men
authorized, the Bluffs police depart
ment to post a reward of $1,000 for
the arrest of the thieves.
The bandits backed their truck to
the rear of the store, smashed in a
back window and carried out a full
truck load. The truck and men left
plenty of tracks in the snow, but the
truck could not be followed beyond
the main highway.
'Within the last two months more
than $50,000 worth of merchandise
lias been taken from country mer
chants in the vicinity of Council
Bluffs by automobile bandits. Not a
dollar's worth of the property has
been recovered and no clue to the
identity of the bandits has been
found. ' . '
At Logan, two weeks ago, the
night -marshal came upon a band
after they had carried $3,000 worth
of goods from a store into an alley
and were getting ready to load the
loot. They opened fire.
Omaha and Sioux City were the
objectives of the bandits, as indi
cated by the direction taken by the
cars. The Essex robbers headed in
the direction of Council Bluffs after
reaching the highway; i

WILSON MAKES

SHORT TIME
Iowa Manufacturer Makes a
Statement to Public About
Tanlac. . . .
s.
J. D. Wilson, secretary and gen
eral manager of the Algona Brick
& Tile Comoany of Algona, Iowa,
called at McNerney's Drug Store in
Des Moines,; recently, and made a
statement regarding the benefits he
has derived f.rom the use of Tanlac
that will be of interest throughout
the' entire state. '
In relating his experience with
the Master Medicine Mr. Wilson
says he has not only gotten rid of
, a case of nervous indigestion, from
which he had suffered, for three
years, but that he has also gained
twenty-four pounds in weight. Here
is his statement:
"I have been benefited even be
yond ray belief and feel that it is
time for me to talk for the benefit
of others,. I had suffered from
nervous indigestion and a general
run down condition for three years.
My stomach was so weak and upset
that I could not retain and digest
enough of what I ate to. keep up
my strength and I was gradually
losing ground all the time. . My food
would sour almost as soon as I had
eaten it and the gas from it would
Jpress on my heart, causing palpita
tion, shortness of breath and intense
pains. My kidneys were also in bad
shape and I often suffered with
severe pains in the small of my
back;
"No ini of treatment or med
icine did m any good and as a re
sult' of my ' condition I was con
tinually losing weight. I was wor
ried constantly with the fear that
my case was beyond the reach of
medicine. But I finally began tak
ing Tanlaci on the advice of an old
friend, .and not only have my
troubles been relieved, but I feel
liko I hav been given a new lease
on life. At the time I began tak
ing this medicine I only weighed
one hundred and eighteen pounds,
but I now balance the scales at one
hundred and forty-two, making an
: actual gain of twenty-four pounds.
I can now eat just anything set be
fore me and never feel a sign of
indigestion. Why, only yesterday
I ate steak and onions for dinner,
thoroughly enjoyed theni, and they
did not hurt me the least bit. I
am now able to eat cabbage and
fork and digest them as easily as
can milk. In fact, neither my
stomach or kidneys bother me any
more. I am absolutely free from
all pain and am in better shape
physically than I have been in a
long time. A medicine that will do
what Tanlac has done in my case is
certainly worth recommending to
(ha TinhliV. snd I am. srlad to give
this statement to be used in let,
ting others, who are trying to una
relief, know about it."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha -at all

pany's stores, " Harvard Pharmacy

Appalling Scandal of
Slavery of Children
in England Revealed
London, Nov. 27. The appalling
scandal of child slavery .in Great
Britain, as unearthed by the Na
tional News, which has continued
its investigation, reveals that 1,500,
000 British children under 16 years
old are employed in and exploited
by industry.
Thousands of these child victims,
who are stunted in body and mind
and whose future is hopelessly handi
capped, are but 7 or 8 years old and
work 50 hours a week for less
than $1.
Jn Birmingham, for instance,
there are 9,000 child wage victims;
in Kent, where the beer hops grow,
there are several thousands. Dur
ing 1917 there were 14,000 children
employed at night, in. munition
shops.
The National News maintains that
the children's work is unnecessary,
that the monetary gain is far more
than offset by the evil effects . of
.child labor, and that the practice of
employing child labor in dangerous
and unnecessary tasks is widely
prevalent and a national disgrace.
Hostilities Between
Lithuanians and Russ
And Germans Stopped
Copenhagen, Nov. 27. The inter
allied commission has stopped hos
tilities between the Lithuanians and
the Germans and Russians and has
directed the combatants to retire to
the demarcation line of October 30,
according to advices to the Lithuan
ian press bureau from Kovno.
The advices add that the Lithuan
ians only acceded to this decision
on condition that the German gov
ernment agrees to surrender all Ger
man and Russian war material in the
Baltic battle area to the Lithuanians.
Evacuation of the occupied dis
tricts it is said will be effected under
Lithuanian control, while the
Lithuanians will suspend their of
fensive and guarantee the German
and Russian army free transport to
Germany. The inter-allied commis
sion will superintend fulfillment of
the conditions.
Undesirable Aliens' v
Gimp Is Planned
For Ellis Island
"New York, Nov. 27. Establish
ment of a large camp for detention
of undesirable aliens pending inves
tigation and disposal of their cases
is the latest plan of the house im
migration committee now conduct
ing an inquiry at Ellis Island, it is
announced.
The camp would be, similar to
those in use during the war for the
internment of enemy, aliens and
would be the temporary abiding
place of all agiators collected any
where in the United States who by
their conduct or utterances make
their further sojourn in this country
questionable.
It is the opinion of the investigat
ing legislators that such a corral
would aid substantially the work of
centralizing the disturbers and would
result in much more rapid expedition
of their exit to the lands trorn
whence they came. The task of de
portation, it is suggested, will event
ually devolve on the Department of
Justice instead of the Department of
Labor. - - ,
IOWA GOVERNOR
REFUTES ATTACK
FOR PRIMARIES
-Civil War and Spanish War
Veterans Tax Exemption
SecureChase for G. A.
R. Commander.
.Des Moines, la.," Nov. 27. (Spe
cial.) Governor Harding Wednes
day took occasion to meet the
criticism which he says has been
made in some Quarters that he has
delayed in calling the extra session
of the legislature because there was
the possibility of passing primary
suffrage, and that primary suffrage
might revert' to the political ad
vantage of some of his political op
ponents. ( "This criticism is unjust," he said,
"for I have favored this measure. I
recommended primary suffrage in
my mesage io the legislature last
winter. I called , a special session
this past summer to pass on . the
ratification of the. suffrage amend
ment. Hence it cannot be said that
this had any part in (the postpone
ment of the session." .,.
While the governor would not say
whether or not the . special session
would be1 indefinitely postponed this
seems to be the general interpreta
tion of the governor's published
statement.
Dr. R. L. Chase, chairman of the
legislative committee of the G, A.
R., "was endorsed for department
commander of the state organiza
tion at a recent meeting of Kinsman
Fost.
Dr. Chase has been an active
member of Kinsman post for, many
years and will be placed in nomina
tion fo head of the state depart
ment by comrades from his home
post when the annual meeting is
held next year. '
Considerable misunderstanding
appears to exist concerning the
amount of exemption veterans, of
the civil war and of the Spanish
American war are entitled Jo under
the law passed by the Thirty-seventh
general assembly.
Dr. R. L, Chase has recently se
cured an oDinion from Attorney
General. Havner. in which he states
that civil war veterans are entitled
to a $2,800 exemption, and of the
Spanish-American war . veterans
$1,200, on the full, valuation of their
property. This exemption is ap
plicable to taxes to be paid in 1920.
Churchill Given Credit
For Use of Tanks in War
London, Nov. 27. "It was 'pri
marily due to the receptivity, cour
age and driving force of Winston
Soencer Churchill that the eeneral
idea to use such an instrument of
warfare as the tank was converted
into practical shape," was the state
ment made in the report issued by
me commmee wnicn investigated at
great langth the t numerous rival
claims to credit for inventing the
tank. ' -
But it was said in the report that
as the war minister is considered a
servant of the state he is not en
titled to any award.
The: report deals with a number,
of men who made valuable contri
butions toward perfecting the tank,
awarding some of them sums of 500
or l.OUU pounds sterling each, the
principal award, amounting to 14,000
pounds, being divided.
Large Delegation of Japs
at Big Labor Conference
Causes Much . Comment
I r'
Representation Is Larger Than Empire Had at Peace
Conference .Explanation Develops When Re-
port of Committee on Application of 48-Hour
Week Convention to 1 Special Countries Is Made
'' "Public. J.,'"":. V .
By JUSTIN M'GRATH,
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 27. When the
interallied labor conference opeiied
here it was noted' that Japan had a
larger delegation than it had sent to
the peace conference. There were
also about 30 representatives of the
Japanese press present. This re
markable representation' caused
much comment and aroused consid
erable curiosity.
The explanation of Japan's sur
prising interest in the conference
developed when the report of the
committee' on the application ;of the
48-hour week convention to special
countries was made public.
It then became apparent that the
labor principles .adopted by the
peace conference, and which the in
terallies' labor conference was called
to put into operation, presented to
Japan a problem of far greater con
sequence than any other growing
out of the war.
Big Industrial Question.
The labor principles adopted by
the peace conference, partfcularly
the declaration in favor of an eight
hour day, left Japan torn between
the tugging of two emotions pride
and self-interest. Pride demands that
Japan should subscribe to the same
conditions accepted by the other
great powers. But self-interest urged
a plea to have concessions made to
Japan, for the strict application of
the eight-hour day and the abolition
of child labor admittedly would spell
industrial rum for the Nippon empire.-
So it was because of the impor
tance and the delicacy of the labor
problem 'forced upon Japan by the
action of the peace conference that
the Japanese government decided to
send such a large and able delega
tion to Washington. And it was be
cause of the great interest of the
people of Japan in the outcome of
the delegation's representations to
the conference that the Japanese
press sent many more journalists to
report the conference than we sent
to report the peace conference in
Paris. . : ".t
The special committee, which had
under copsideration the industrial
situation and labor conditions in
Japan, China, India, . and the
tropical countries was headed by
Right Hon. G. N, Barnes of Great
BritainV The report set forth labor
conditions in Japan as follows:
' "The position of Japan presents a
problem of some difficulty. Japan
is a country whose industry is still
largely domestic, but which is rap
idly becoming organized along the
lines of modern factories. During
recent years the progress in the or
ganizing of Japanese industry has
been very great." At the same time
Japan has had very little experi
ence in factory legislation.' The
hours of work have been very long
and in the case of adult male work
ers no regulation of hours of work
exist at all. There is no provision
for a weekly holiday; and over and
above the hours which custom has
established, overtime to the extent
cf two or three hours a day, is very
common. The factory act of Japan
applies only to women and children.
It prescribes a working day of 13
hours as a maximum. But in the
silk industry, for example, which is
the largest industry in Japan, an
additional hour of overtime is per
mitted on 120. days in the year. The
nominal hours of work in cotton are
11 a day and in some industries, like
ship building and iron works, tht
nominal number of hours are 10,
but in all cases it has to be remem
bered that overtime is universal and
extensive. Probably in most indus
tries other than silk it is accurate
to say the usual working day is 12
hours.
In view of these facts it seemed to
the committee to be impracticable
to reduce the hours of work jn
Japan at once to the level which it
contemplated for western countries.
To do so it was thought would
bring ruin.

What have we to be thankful for?
Most Omahans declare they see the
silver lining to the clouds and aver
that they have much to be thankful
for. ' ';-
Some are thankful because they
live in the U. S. A., and in this par
ticular part of this great nation.
Sheriff Clark asserts that we
should be thankful we are alive.
Bishop Shayler said we should be
thankful for the riot last September
and then explains his paraadoxical
statement. Everybody seems to
have something to be thankful for,'
A man was seen on Farnarn street
yesterday morning, with a smile all
over his face.. He, seemed to be
thankful about something.
What are you so thankful about,
brother?" a stranger asked.
"Well, the stork brought a baby
boy to oiir house, why shouldn't I

ERNEST VINCENT SHAYLER.
Episcopal Blfihop of Nebraska.
ThakssriviiiR day is pre-eminently
an American institution. Inaugu
rated by the Pilgrims at Plymouth
Rock, it has reached a wider appli
cation than the Puritan could see.
It generated a spirit of thanksgiv
ing to God for His goodness, it has
largely degenerated into turkey
feasts and foot ball games.
Let, us hark back today to begin
nings and we shall find room for
thankful thought. The Puritan re
joiced thaf he lived in a free land.
Let us rejoice that freedom is still
an American possibility, even though
it is in grave danger.
The Puritan rejoiced because
food,' clothing and the necessities of
life were plentiful; Let us be thank
ful that, though plenty is fast slip
ping away in the decreased produc
tion we .still enjoy the necessaries of
life. ,
The Puritan rejoiced that God
was still left. Let us be thankful
today that in spite of the attacks of
the foes of civilization we still have
God and some of Christian religion.
The city of Omaha should be
thankful for Christian churches and
Christian religion because they alone
hold high standards 'and exist and
labor for the highest good of the
city.
Omaha should be thankful for its
splendid public schools, under such
a sane, virile superintendent. These
schools are standing for ethical cit
izenship and an ' educated Amer
icanism. Omaha should be thankful for the
solidity of its financial institutions
and the growing importance of its
commerce. , ' (
Omaha should be thankful for the
high type of its representative citi
zenship. Omaha should be thankful for the
riot and the mob" of September last.
They revealed a hidden, lurking
spirit of revolution, which must be
crushed out, and which shall be sup
planted by respect for, law. ' Th,ey
revealed inadequacy and inefficiency
of guardians of our peace, and now,
therefore, we must be better policed.
The dastardly deeds aroused the la
tent citizenship in many lives and
which must call them to greater
thought and greater service for our
city.
Thanking is thinking, and think
ing is thanking. Let us think of our
citizenship rivileges,. of the great joy
of the God life in man and of our
relations to one another. Let, us
think of our schools and our busi
ness, our plenty and our store. Let
us think that no further disgrace
shall rest upon us. And thus think
ing, thank. God for all that we have;
and for the better things that are to
come. .. i ,'

Every real American must bow
his head in profound gratitude that

citizens of tomorrow, can come to

We ought to be thankful we are
alive. That is enough of a blessing
nowadays. I am also thankful for
the ability to look forward to better
times. I think better times are com
ing and everything that is troubling
this old world is going to calm
down. Even the high cost of living
will get a wallop before long, I be
lieve, and then we can be even more
thankful that we are. alive Yes, it
is a pretty good old world. With
all its faults, we loye it still.

The whole o our country has
limitless reasons for thanks this
