Be Discreet In Helping.

Omaha, May 15.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: The patriotic and we'll
meaning citizens who are urging that
city children be sent to the country to
help the farmers are taking too much
for granted.
The Survey, in the issue Of May -,
reports the results Of a QUESTIONABLE
sent to Grange officers throughout the
country, in order to get the viewpoint
of the persons most concerned.
The answers that have been received
indicate that farmers do not want or
need city children. OF the answers
received, says the Survey, So per cent
say unqualifiedly mo" to the question,
"Are city school children wanted to
work in your district?"
1t is adult help, is years and over,
that the farmers want. A city child
will do more harm in one day weed
ing plants than any good he can do in
a month on the farm.
The conclusion of the National
Child Labor committee is that to send
school children to farms without care

POPE WILL FAVOR
 NO UNJUST PEACE

Rome, Nov. 2S.-The papal secre- tary of state, Cardinal Gaspari, an- swering the nuemrous criticisms re- garding the vatican's peace attitude, issued to the press today a state ment which reads in part as follows:
 "The holy father is not preparing any new appeal looking toward peace. His earnest desire, many times mani fested, for just, Christian and dur able peace is unchanged, and cannot change. Who can crave anything else and call himself a Christian?
 "Who says that his holiness favors or has favored or will favor an un- just, un-Christian and undurable peace is not only false, but also absurd.
 "Any propaganda for such a peace, alleged to be conducted at the vat ican's inspiration, especially in certain nations, is the product of pure ma liciousness."

GENERAL PRIORITY GIVEN COAL AND

Washington, Nov. 28.-A general priority order giving coal and coke shipments the right of way over other freight movements was requested to- day by Fuel Administrator Garfield to relieve the country wide fuel short age. The situation, already critical, has been made worse by the coming of cold weather with it's consequent slowing up of railway traffic
 In asking the order of Robert s. Lowell, director of priority, Dr. Gar field suggested it be put into force as soon as possible, and that it's op- eration be continued until the crisis is over. Coal, under the priority de- sired, would move over the railway lines with food stuffs or shipments which are subordinated to the trans portation of actual war supplies.

LABOR HEADQUARTERS
 ARE I'D RE REMOVED
Second Floor of Building at Sixth and Main Secured, and Open Meeting
 Planned for Sunday.

The Central Trades council last night arranged for a meeting of union men and members of their families at the new hall, over the Central phar- macy, Sunday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock at which several Pine Bluff ministers will be invited to make ad- dresses.
