CHAOTIC WORLD,

Debt, Hunger, Hatred, Dis

ister Tells Sate Conven
tion at Closing Meeting.
"It's not an encouraging world
that confronts the Young Men's
Christian association today," de
clared Rev. Frank G. Smith, ad
dressing the closing meeting of the
state convention of the Y. M. C. A.
at the association building yesterday
"China, Japan, Russia, India, th;
countries of Europe are Seething.
Our own cotlnry is in the receding
thadow of a steel strike that was
never settled, a coal strike that leit
its had feeling, and is now confront
ed with a threatened railroad strike.
"Deht and hunger face the worljd.
Hatred and distrust are honey
combing it. The imaginary col
lapse of tb old props of the world,
cvilization, education and religion
are in the minds of lhe people. Ev
erywhere is the idea that our boast
ed civilization is not the solid ma
hogany we imagined, but simply a
thin veneer.
"The awakening of depressed mil
lions in China, Russia, India is
bringing its vast problems. The in
tensified idealism of war days which
pointed to an ideal world of beauty,
peace and happiness is having its
reaction in a world that seems to
have none of these promised things.
"In these times, poise, tolerance,
universal education, co-operation
and universal service must be thy
watchwords of the Y. M. C. A
Faith must be restored. Faith is
the one thing upon which we can de
pend in these times. If nations and
individuals have faith in each other
many of our perplexing problems
will be solved."

One of the features in connection
with the formal opening of a day
nursery at 2403 St. Marys avenue,
by the National League of Women's
Service, was the presentation yester
day of a pink and white quilt made
by the boys and girls of the Fifth A
class of Mason school.
These children furnished the ma
terials and worked the quilt, which
shows animal designs enlarged from
one-inch patterns and chain-strtched.
Thirty small white beds have been
given to the nursery, each bed bear
ing the name of its donor. Sunday
school children of the First Baptist
church gave a toy shower.
This new nursery will be in charge
of Mrs. W. A. Smith, chairman of
the league. She will be. assisted by
j Miss Jennie Andrews, trained nurse.
Members of the J union league will
assist every afternoon except Sat
urdays. ,
Children up to 5 years old will be
admitted to the nursery, and it will
be a rule that the children must be
of mothers who go out to day work
or of fathers who have children
without a mother's care.

Spring Is Here, Says
C. of C. Man, Who Tells
Of Seeing Sure Signs
Spring is here!
This startling statement was made
by Arthur Thomas, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce bureau ot
publicity, yesterday morning.
Wr. A. Ellis, assistant commis
sioner of the chamber, overhearing
the remark, laughed scornfully.
"This is a fine morning to be
springing that," he growled, point
ing to dark overcast sky and slam
ming a window to shut out a cold
breeze.
"Yet my assertion is true," con
tinued Mr. Thomas blithefully, and
removed his coat" I have the
.proof. As I came to work this
morning I not only saw a robin, but
a group of small boys playing
marbles. And last night I was
awakened by the honking of a flock
of wild geese flying northward."
"You must have been dreaming,"
retorted Mr. Ellis as he warmed his
hands at the nearest radiator.

Railroad officials in Omaha have
received no intorniation from Wash
ington regarding negotiations be
tween railroad brotherhoods and
the administration, or the 'possibil
ity of a gereral strike.
"We are waiting now to get
definite information." G. W. Loomis,
chief clerk of the Burlington rail
road, declared yesterday. "Until
then I cannot comment on the situ
ation. Of course, the railroad ad
ministration alone is handling the
situation."
H. J. Phimhof, assistant to the
federal manager of the Union Pa
cific railroad, also declared that no
definite reformation from Washing
ton had been received.
"Our only sources of 'informa
tion are the newspapers," he ex
plained. "If a general walkout does
occur every place in the country
probably will be tied up until the
matter is settled. "Fortunately,
spring is near and there is little
danger of another serious coal
shortage."
W. H. Guild, assistant to the gen
eral manager of the Union Pacific,
said there was a large quantity of
coal in the Omaha terminals, and
even if shipment were stopped the
quantity probably would last until
moderate weather is assured.
