Omaha Is Paying Its
Grocery Bill Promptly

People are paying their grocery &C
counts more promptly since the Re-
tail Grocers association started a
campaign Of newspaper advertising a
few weeks ago, urging the customers
to pay more promptly.
Regarding this J. J. Cameron, Sec
rotary of the association, has the fol-
lowing to say: 1--WE got such salts
factory results that the grocers now
want to create separate fund to
carry on this work. They want to
educate the consumers in various
ways for the consumers own benefit
as we'll as for the grocer. There is
no doubt that a more friendly Coop
Grafton between the grocer and his
customer would be great benefit to
both. Consequently, in order to
create sentiment in favor of economy
and confidence the columns of the
daily papers will be used for this pur-
pose. However, it costs considerable
money to have this done. The small
dues paid in by the members is not
sufficient to pay this expense, conse-
quently, at our last official board
meeting, it was decided to request all
members to send in their checks, for
So each, to the secretary's Office for
this purpose. Not only the members
of the association should contribute
to the fund, every grocer in Omaha
should pay his share, as they all get
the benefit"

SAYS RUSSIA WILL
STICK TO ALLIES
Prof. F. Pisecky Of Bohemia
Declares That Russia Will
Round To All
Right.

Prof. F. PiSecky, from the Institute
Of Pedagogy OF Jicin, Bohemia, a
former officer in the reserve in the
Austrian army, who has spent three
months on the Russian front, where
he was wounded and then voluntarily
crossed into the Russian lines, spoke
here last night and this afternoon he
speaks at the Tel Jed Sokol hall.
He was drafted into the Austrian
army against his will, same as thou.
sands OF his countrymen were, and
took the first opportunity to escape
and help the allies. After twenty
months spent in detention camp, he
enlisted in the Serbian volunteer
division at Odessa, as lieutenant
Shortly afterwards he was assigned
to the Serbian legation at Petrograd,
to take part in the political propa-
eanda for Bohemian independence.
In December, 1916, he was sent to
England with reports to the Bohem-
ian leader, Prof. Masaryk, about the
situation in Russia. Upon his return
to Russia he witnessed the Russian
revolution and now in his present
tour his main purpose will be to
describe the revolution in his lectures
and help the Bohemian independence
movement in this country.
His stay in Russia gave him thor
ough insight into the conditions pre-
vailing there and he is absolutely con-
WINGED that Russia will come out of
the present turmoil to the greatest
satisfaction OF the allies.
Russia Will Not Quit.
Russians are an honorable people
and will not forsake the allies" said
Prof. Pisecky, they are a Slavonic
nation and will not let the Serbians
perish. They are open minded enough
to see that separate peace with the
central powers would be their suicide,
Prof. Masaryk comedies with my
opinion and writes from Russia,
where he is at present, that the doc
trine of peace without annexation
and indemnities is losing ground.
THE farmers, business men and in
dustrial workers are taking up arms.
The revolution in Kronstadt is salts
factorily settled and the revolutionary
III L VIII w oSbtiNu
in the same manner. The revolution
was aimed against the government
and in favor of war. The turmoil
that followed the revolution must be
considered as unavoidable and a nat
ural outcome OF such complete and
unorganized change of government
al am convinced, however, that the
Russian army will begin new Of
fensive and that this year will bring
a great movement on the Russian
front All that is necessary is to
begin and the first victory will inspire
the army and the nation, to the extent
that it will be impossible to talk Of
an untimely peace.
"Hindenburg's telegram offering
peace to the Russian workmen, will
have the opposite effect The situa-
ton is serious, but by no means hope
less. There are more points favorable
to the successful evolution Of the sit
uation in Russia, than those that are
unfavorable."
