Omaha Women Explain Why They

Omaha, Neb.. June 10.-The Ladies' Aux
Hilary of the Thurston Rifles have given
out a statement as to the purpose of the
organization in sending the cable despatch
to the Nebraska Volunteers in the Philip
pines declaring that they must not re-en-
list. The women say that they sent the mes
sage because they knew that the men on
the firing line did not understand the new
army bill and that the country would not
be damaged If they did not re-enlist. They
also say that their boys were apparently
with some purpose placed on the firing
line and held there until they were
scarcely able to walk and all shot to
pieces.
They end by saying: THE home friends
Of the volunteers in the Philippines can
ask and have right to demand fair treat
ment for their boys without having their
loyalty questioned. II the promises of the
War Department are not speedily fulfilled
We shall take steps to appeal to the Presi-
dent for the return of the remnant of the
