W. A. PixIey, Publicity Head,

Omaha Red Cross Christmas quota
of 10000 must be doubled, shall be
doubled and will be doubled was the
keynote of a Christmas day announce
ment by w. A. Pixley, chairman of
the publicity committee, in which he
declared headquarters will remain
open until the 10000 Christmas mem
berships have been reported. Returns
counted before Christmas showed a.
500 Omahans lad subscribed.
Christmas was day of rest and va
cation for the Red Cross workers,
who have been struggling and striv-
ing day and night for three weeks
to make such that Omaha goes over
the top" with flying colors when the
final report of the Red Cross Christ
mas campaign is made.
Only. One Days Rest.
But the rest is for one day only,
for today the Red Cross headquarters
will open again and they will remain
open, Mr., Pixley AYERS, until the 3d.
600 memberships are reported
I'VE will resume the counting OF re-
turns today and Thursday" said Mr.
Pixley. I'VE feel sure the returns not
yet received or not yet counted will
bring the total to $4,000, but il such
fails to be the case, we will keep our
office open until we do get that 10000,
for we are determined Omaha shall
double its quota"
Christmas memberships may still be
pledged today and Thursday, Mr.. Pix
ley announces, and anyone who was
overlooked in the campaign and
therefore has not yet subscribed is
urged to do so today or tomorrow.

the following:
I'VE are sorry VIC can't be with you

you. We appreciate the blessings of
our own families and our own coun-
try as never before.
yet, since to ensure the safety OF
us all and help in the cause of right,
we must stay until the work is done,
you should be glad to the bottom OF
your hearts that we have SO good and
so Christian a Christmas.
Most OF us have helped to brighten
your lives on other Christmas days,
possibly by our gifts and our pres
ence, Few this year can give what
they desire; none can be with you.

PACKING HOUSE
LABOR DISPUTES
TO Be SETTLED
Both Sides Agree to Bar
Strikes and LoCkouts and
Arbitrate Grievances
During War.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-John E. Viii
liams, fuel administrator of Illinois
early today was appointed referee in
all labor disputes arising in the pack
ing house industries of the United
States during the war. The appoint
ment was agreed upon by representa-
tives of packers and laborers after
conference with President Wilson,
mediation board which started yes
terday morning and did not end until
nearly daylight this morning.
The packing houses represented
were the Armour, Swift, Morris,
Cudahy and Wilson concerns. The
agreement affects all of their plants,
located in Chicago, Kansas City,
Denver, St. Louis, Oklahoma City,
Sioux City, St. Paul, Omaha and St.
Joseph.
No Strikes In War.
Both sides agreed that while the
United States is at war there shall
be no strikes nor lockouts in pack
ing plants and that Mr.. Williams
decisions shall be final in all matters.
The labor commission, headed by
Secretary of Labor Wilson, came here
week ago after the labor situation
at the stock yards had reached a crit
ical stage Since then the labor rep
resentatives of the packing concerns
and OF the men have been called into
conference.
Right Of the employees to Join GER
tain unions was the chief cause Of the
dispute. Stockyards workers some
time ago demanded that their unions
be recognized by the packers and that
they be allowed to join any ution
they saw fit. The employees also de-
manded increased pay, readjustment
of working hours and the righ. to
present their grievances to the pack
ers through committee.
Agree On Settlements.
All OF these matters and any others
which may arise in the future will be
settled by Mr.. Williams, according to
the agreement.
Both employers and employees today
expressed satisfaction over the agree
ment which will go into effect at once.

rarily i ncommand.

FIRST there was rush to open the
Christmas packages from home, for
during the day mail truck after mail
truck had arrived in the various towns
WI ,re the troops are quartered, load
ed to the top with presents. The
mail arrived at the port late and ex-
traordinary efforts were made to get
it to the soldiers promptly. With their
new sweaters on. new pipes in their
teeth, some OF thelff smoking frag-
rant cigars the men of the army then
set to work in earnest making it
merry for the children of France.
At some distance from the Ameri-
can zone the railway engineers at the
British front and other engineers at
the French front were spending their
Christmas eve under fire, but even
there the children of nearby neighbor-
ing towns were being cared for. 1t
was in the headquarters town of the
first division to land on French soil
that the most elaborate entertainment
was held. however. Because the
church there was pretty small, the
Young Mems Christian association
hut was commandered. During the
afternoon the American officers and
men worked hard erecting a gigantic
Christmas tree and decorating it while
sentries posted outside kept inquisi-
I've youngsters at safe distance.
Firally the doors were opened and the
procession filed in, each little French
boy and girl dressed in her, or her
best and accompanied by the mother
Of in the cases of the little refugees,
whose mothers and fathers are miss
ing, by the woman who is caring for
them.
There was a tense air of expectation
when the lights were suddenly flashed
on and the tree and Santa Claus re-
vealed. The revelation was the sig
nal for chorus of shrill, joyful cries
from the assembled youngsters who
were all eyes for the tree with its
gllttering tinsel set off here and there
by the customary red, white, green
and purple lights. Crossed American
and French flags were numerously
diplayed and from every branch there
hung boxes of candy, jumping jacks
with candy sticks, drums, dolls and
other play things and plentiful
sprinkling of apples and oranges.
Piled high at the base of the tree
there were many boxes containing
toy soldiers, guns, tops, sewing sets,
heavy woolen mittens, mufflers, warm
coats, dresses and shoes.
Then the real, live Santa Claus, who
IN reality was none other than the
French interpreter at headquarters
stepped out, His spring activity
called forth another appreciative
chorus from the youngsters and host
OF khaki clad soldiers standing in the,
rear, some of them still covered with
the mud of the training grounds.
&rlnned as they heard the children
shout.
The only reason any soldier of the
DIVISION was absent from the cele-
bration was because there was not
room for him to crowd in. For it
was the men themselves who provided
the bulk of the money and they nat
urally were eager to see the children
beng made happy by the soldiers
quits. Each of these gifts had been
intended to fill as nearly as possible
the hearts desire of the individual

LUCKY SEVENTH
TOBE RECOGNIZED
BY GOVERN MENT
Brig. Gen. Carter Wires Gov
ernor Neville Few Requisites
Necessary Before Regiment
Under Federal Service.

Lincoln, Dec. 25.-lSpecial. )-The
political pirate from the southwest
corner of political hell" charged by
Lieutenant Governor Edgar Howard
of Columbus, with attempting to in
sert a, political stiletto under the fifth
rib of the Seventh Nebraska regiment,
has been thwarted. and when the
tramp, thramp, tramp OF the "Lucky
Seventh is heard as it marches away
to war, Mr.. Howard may ascend the
gubernatorial throne OF Nebraska aud
reign supreme as its chief executive.
Message From Carter.
This was all made clear today when
Governor Neville made public the fol-
lowing telegram received from Briga-
dicr General ]. NJ. Carter, chief OF the
national army bureau: 49, s''
Report has been received OF i'll
spection for recognition OF organiza-
tions intended to compose the Sew
enth Nebraska infantry, National
Guard, and memorandum of defects
noted by the inspecting officer is sent
you herewith. When the defects re-
ported by the Inspector have been
remedied, federal recognition will be
extended to this regiment.
Age limits vii be waived in the
cases of officers slightly over age who
are otherwise qualified. No chaplain
will be recognized who is over 49, In
efficient armory facilities are reported
for the supply company and Com
panies A, Z, F, G, L and M. This
defect must receive particular atten-
ton as recognition cannot be extended
until sufficient armory facilities, in
cluding storage for federal property,
are provided"
Will Remedy Defects.
These defects, according to Colonel
Neville, viii with Adjutant General
Hugh Clapp, held a conference at
once, will be easily remedied. One
of two commissioned officers are over
age, but not sufficiently so but they
will be able to qualify under the rul-
ing OF the department. Chaplain
Leidy of Omaha will be hardest hit.
The order expressly states the chap
lain must not be over 40 This is an
indication that the war department
has little confidence in prayers by a
man who is aver that age, notwith-
standing most OF the great bishops
of the churches of the country are
very much beyond that age.
The companies which have made
>Suate armory facilities are the supply
company at Grand Island, A at Sew
ard, L, F and e at Omaha, L at
SCOTS Bluff and NJ at Trenton. These
drawbacks will be easily remedied, ac-
cording to the officers of the regi-
ment and i'll very short time the
regiment will be ready for recogni-
ton.

BLUFF, PARIS
EDITOR SAYS
OF new NOTE

Paris, Feb. 3-Two general conclu-
sions emerge from the mass of COM
ment. which continues to fill the col
lmns of the newspapers in regard to
the submarine question. The first is
that on the. attitude of America de-
ponds that Of the other neutrals. The
Petit Parisien puts ft:sfsass 10 Al ia - u d
The historic hour has struck for
President Wilsc and on the action
he takes depends the conduct Of all
neutrals in this supreme phase Of the
!. wa
The second conclusion is that the
German threat is a mere bluff, in
which respect Georges Clements
writes:
I'VE behold a great deployment OF
threatening words. We ask what is
going to be changed Germany is
sinking our ships She will continue
to do so. We, on the other hand,
shall permit ourselves to stop her
supplies of food more vigorously than
before She will launch fresh subma-
rines; but she already has done this
without such grand eloquence. There
are many ways Of circumventing her.
Our bureaucracy, which has con-
tented itself up to the present with
keeping important plans in pigeon
holes, will find itself obliged to allow
them to be carried out"
The opinion fnds. support among
technical writer's. They agree that
Germany cannot have more than 180
to 200 submarines available, with
which under the new regime she can
: hamper still further but not stop the
seagoing trade OF the Allies.

Some months ago, a local young wo-

various charitable organizations in
Bridgeport, CARRIED herself as one of
the most poorly paid class of working
girls, took a bundle under her arm
and started out to find a room. She
was turned away from one place after
another but at the Bridgeport Protec-

LEAK PR0bERS
IN WASHINGTON
TO RESUME WORK

Washington, Feb. 3-The congress
sional committee investigating the So
called leak on President Wilson's re-
cent peace note came back to Wash
ington today to resume it's hearings
in further effort to ascertain the
source Of transmission of an advance
resume of the note from the firm of
F. A. Connolly & Co., Washington
brokers, to E. F. Hutton & Co., New
York brokers. First on the COM
mittees list of witnesses was George
A. Ellis, Jr., member of the Hutton
firm, who put Connolly's information
into a Geographic warning to all of
Hutton's correspondents in the United
States 10 hours before the note was
released.
Connolly's testimony that he sent
his information in message by pri-
vate wire from his Office to the Hut
ton firm has been disputed by every
telegraph operator who. according to
Sherman L. Whipple, committee
council, was in position to have re-
ceived such a message in the Hutton
office.
The committee transferred it's in
quiry here, from New York because
of the press Of international at
fairs.
