departments of DresNer Brothers vast
Dry Cleaning and Dyeing plant, at
2211-2217 Farnam street, is just back
from a lengthy eastern trip.
Kish has brought with him a num-
Der of ideas which will become pop
ular among Omaha ladies during the
coming winter, and. if any of the
lady readers Of this announcement
have in mind new fur pieces, they
would do we'll to have Mr.. Kish de-
sign and make up something for them
right now, during the slack season.
By having furs made up now you
will effect a considerable savings.
It's only natural, because furriers
are not so busy in summer and offer
you inducements to busy their shops.
The same applies to all fur repairing,
remodeling and cleaning done at
Dreshers now. If you have any work
along these lines have it done now
and reap the price benefit.
Remember, you'll save greatly by
having any sort of fur work done
at Dreshers during August
Just phone Tyler 345 for a man,
leave your work at the plant, at
Dresher The Tailors, 1916 Farnam
street, or at one of the Dresher
branches in the Brandeis or Burgess
Nash stores. Dreshers pay express or

shipments.

UNDER THE IRON HEEL
Germans TExtort Millions From Strick-
en- French City of Lille.

Washington, Oct. 18.-The dignity
and nobility with which officials of
the stricken city of Lille, France, have
met the extortionate demands of their
German masters is revealed in let
ter from Charles De La Sale, mayor
of that city, to the German general in
chief, Won Gravenitz, a copy of which
has reached here. The mayor wrote:
Your letter is at hand. 1t causes
me very great surprise. Hardly had
we repaid the balance of the imposed
tax Of 24,000,000 when you asked for
a new payment of 100000. During
the first year of your occupancy,
when Lille was still in possession of
the greater part of it's resources, you
claimed the sum of $4,000, 900, during
the second year the sum of 30,0O0,-
600, and during the third year, when
the city was in dire distress you
doubled the tribute and raised it to
60,O0O.OOO.
such heavy demands are as ex-
tortionate as they are unjustified.
They are contrary to the spirit and
letter of The Hague conventions.
Il beg to state in the name of the
municipal council, which l represent,
that the city of Lille, curbed"under the
yoke, isolated from the world, unable
to appeal to any court against the
arbitrary power of which she is the
victim, will pay the new contributions
on the date indicated but she will pay
them under dureSS"

she used to be; an elaborate and at
tractive chorus and Venita FitzhIgh,
prima donna commedienne. Harry
Short was in the premier masculine
role and initiated the George Conan
brand of comedy. Lewis Seymour
furnished a few clever lines here and
there that were amusing. Ward ap-
peared in comedy creations. Anna
Held, herself, however, was all that
could have been asked. Her costumes
were elaborate, especially her famous
peacock creation. Her quaint French
spiced English gave her lines and
songs the necessary impetus. Es-
pecially quaint and fascinating was her
laughter song altho, as presented here,
it was only a brief outline of the
original which turned a New York
audience into almost a riot Venita
F'itzhugh and Harry Seymour drew
considerable favor. The chorus can
be best described as a beauty show.
Its singing and dancing were above
criticism. 1t was large enough to fill
the stage and was deliberately cos
TUNED. The girls themselves were
pretty, petite and graceful.

The Christian churches of the world
now have an unprecedented opportun-

DIR. James G. Hunt. who opened the
fall meeting of the State Missionary
institute Wednesday night at the
United Presbyterian church.
At present nearly half of the H.

ened on their religion, due to the
failure of their holy war" against
the allies. Only one Christian church
is now represented in the field. That
church is the United Presbyterian, ac-
cording to Doctor Hunt. A big relig-
ious drive in the Mohamnedan field
would net thousands of converts to
Christianity, he believes.

RANDELS IS ELIGIBLE.
Il. S. A, c. Coach Denies Captain Has
Played Allotted Time.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 1S-Regard-
ing a statement made by President
Hill of the University of Missouri that
he would protest to the Missouri VAL
ley conference against counting the
Missouri Kansas Agricultural college
game last Saturday as part of the con
ference series, on the ground that
Captain Randels of the Aggies was in
eligible because he played two years
on a southwest conference team q.
G.. Clevenger, director of athletics at
the Kansas Agricultural college, today
said the athletic board at the college
already has passed upon this and ruI-
ed that Randels was eligible to play.
Clevenger said Randels played two
years with Southwestern college of
Winfield but that this institution was
not listed in the Missouri valley hand
book as one which would count
against Randels' term of playing in
the valley conference.
