Omaha, Jan. 19.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: The statement by Mr.. Bell
ought to be corrected. The Serbians
did not kill the Austrian crown prince
and his wife. They were killed on
Austrian soil in the province of Bos-
mia, were they not? Mckinley was
killed by Czolgosz, perhaps of Aus.
trian or some foreign descent, but
America would not think of blaming
the land of the murderers forefathers
Therefore, Mr.. Bell should understand
the Austrian position was most I'M
just demand on Serbia and was made
for the purpose of producing war.

A Russian Religious Impostor
= George KEENAN, In the Outlook :

The recent assassination in Perograd of the
man widely known as Gregory Rasputn has re-
moved from the field of social and political life
in Russia one Of the most extraordinary as well
as one OF the most successful mpostors who ever
made religion a cloak for ambition, sensuaity and
vice. Fifty years ago or more there was born, OF
muzhik parents, in village of western Siberia,
a boy who received at his christening the name
OF Gregory. Rasputin, which means rake,
dissolute, licentious man, was not his family name.
1t was apparently assumed by him in later lite
when he put on deceptive garb OF sanctty, and
it was intended perhaps to suggest the idea that
he was reformed and converted sinner. Greg
DRY, as peasant boy, received in the public
school of his native village an elementary educa-
ton which enabled him to write his name and
read the Bible; but that was ALL As a youth he
was given to drunkenness and dissipation and
lived the life of a common village hoodlum of the
peasant Glass; but in spite OF his excuses he de-
veloped into man of powerful physique and
not unpleasing appearance, and man, more
over, who for some reason was particularly at
tractive to women.

Governors of the New York stock

the difference between the pay re-
ceived by employees who enter the

Several of the clerks have already

The governors of the exchange
,have also authorized the finance

ing subscriptions to the Liberty Loan

ment plan is to be prepared for the

scriptions on the due date, the bonds
to be carried by means of the work
ing funds of the Exchange.

TELLS OF PLAN
FOR RED CROSS
CHAIRMAN DAWSON SAYS ALL
MONEY RAISED WILL BE
USED WISELY

NEW YORK, June 13.-The way
in which the Red Cross war coun-
Gil plans to expend the 800 .000.-
900 fund which is being raised was
explained by Henry p. Dawson,
chairman, in a letter from him,
read at a Red Cross luncheon here.
He gave assurance that ''only a
small percentage of each dollar
contributed will be required to
carry the relief to it's destination,
because of the volunteer character
of the best American talent in
medicine, sanitation, transportation
construction, welfare work, pur-
chasing, commercial business, ac-
counting, and along other lines.
Base hospitals will continue to
be organized to be turned over 20
the army at once for service in
France. Units for military and
naval mobilization camps will be
provided. Supplies must be pur-
chased collected, transported and
stored. Hospital ships are to be
bought, equipped and manned.
A sanitary engineering corps will
be formed. The extent of all this
preparation cannot nov be estimat-
ed, Mr.. Dawson said. because no
one knows whether one or two mil
lion men are to be sent forward.
Aside from these needs the Red
Cross will undertake a larger hui
manitarian work for Americas
allies, with whom American socialO-
gical and medical experts now are
consulting. tuberculosis and trench
diseases abroad must be fought. Mr.
Dawson said.

TELLS BENEFITS
OF FOOD BILLS
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS HIS DEPARTMENT
WILL ASSIST

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 12.-
The urgent need of food legislation
was emphasized by Secretary Hous-
ton, of the agriculture department,
in a statement outlining in detail
the purposes of food bills the ad-
ministration has asked congress to
pass.
Cooperating as we are with the
nations of Europe in the war
against the central powers" said
Secretary Houston, the task of
maintaining the subsistences of the
allies is at once a political and
moral obligation and a military
necessity. War is always destruc-
tive of production and. in a pecul-
lar sense, it is destructive of the
production of foodstuffs, since war
leads to a scarcity of labor and
labor is one of the chief factors in
cultivation of the soil.
"In addition, the wheat crop of
practically the entire world has
suffered serious reduction during
the past year and the prospects for
the coming year promise little or
no increase in the production of
this essential cereal.
lone of two courses lies to our
government. The first is to con-
tinue as we are at present, hat is
to permit unhampered the abnor-
NAL operations of trade, rendered
all the more abnormal, be-
cause of the needs of the
allies for foodstuffs from this coun-
try. The second plan consists in
the regulation or control of our
foodstuffs to the double end of
maintenance of the subsistence of
the allies and the protection of the
food needs and commercial inter
ests of our own people.
The bills nov pending in con-
gress provide for systematic devel-
opment of our productive forces
and an adequate control of distri-
button and consumption. to the end
of conserving for ourselves and for
the allies the foodstuffs provided
through the stimulation of agri-
culture"
OCClSldly OSoSi ibSo tilS
first food bill as a measure to slim
ulate production and the second as
one to control distribution. What
is to be accomplished under each
is given at length.
The president, on May 20, he
said issued a statement in which he
discussed the powers that have
been requested and indicated his
intention of creating the position of
commissioner of food administra-
ton. He also stated that he had
asked Mr.. Herbert C. Hoover to
accept the position. The two bills
should operate in close harmony
and supplement each other.
The department of agriculture
with it's large, efficient, and es-
tablished machinery will cooperate
with the food administration to be
created under Mr.. Hoover in close
and effective agreement. With the
increase of production attained
through the operation of the first
of these bills and the regulation of
manufacture, distribution, conser-
walton and utilization attained I'M
der the second measure, our peo-
ple will be spared many of the
hardships of war, particularly in its
influence upon the cost of living.
and the successful prosecution Of
the war will be greatly advanced.
