SAYS FIGHTING JOB AHEAD
WILL NOT BE AN EASY ONE
w. II. Crawford, Magazine Writer,
Talks Entertainingly at Camp of
Conditions at the Front.

America and her allies have big job
ahead of them if they want to win the
war, according to William H. Crawford,
who spent eighteen months in France.
There is disposition here to mini
mize the war;" he said. I'VE feel too
confident of victory. 1 know we will
win in the end but to do that is going
to require more hard work than we
realize. 1 know what the Germans can
do when it comes to fighting, and
warn you that the job ahead of you
will not be an easy one."
Mr.. Crawford said that at the begin
ming of the war, back in 1914 he had
predicted that Germany would be de-
feated by reason of economic conditions
in the empire, with England's powerful
navy holding supremacy on the sea and
thus placing an embargo on the ship
ment of foodstuffs. But this did not
prove true, as he had expected Now
with Ukraine, Rumania and vast ex-
panse of Russian territory in the hands
of the enemy this food situation has
been relieved.
Belgian Atrocities Not Exaggerated.
He then spoke Of German atrocities
in Belgium, declaring that they have not
been exaggerated. He went to Bel

Jefferris Greeted
With Enthusiasm
On Speaking Triip,

Albert w. Jefferis, republican con-
gressional candidate for the Second
district, covered an itinerary of
meetings last night, concluding at
Fifteenth and Farnam streets. He
was received with favor everywhere.
"The history of the republi can
party is history of loyalty and &C
complishment for the advancement
of the institutions of our country"
he said at Twenty-fourth street and
Ames avenue.
""Every great achievement of our
country has been obtained under a
republican administration. The pur-
pose of law and government is to
obtain prosperity and happiness to
every citizen and that is what the
republican party stands for and it is
what its record shows.
THE time has come to say that
when one part of our people is do
ing their full share in a great cause
and crisis, they shall also have a
voice in the affairs of that grea!
cause
He reasoned that if republican
heroes and money are good enough
to help save the world for democ-
racy, then there is no reason why
republicans should not have a voice
in the spending of money for the
war.
- IF elected, I will do all in my
power to put Omaha on the map,
lie said, referring to Congressman
\ Lobeck's do-nothing record.

Hog Situation on
South Side to Be
Adjusted on Merits

1t is the consensus Of opinion in
the Omaha Live Stock Exchange
that the hog situation for the month
of November will assume a new
character and will be worked out
almost entirely on its own merits.
The government food administra-
ton authorities, packers, producers
and interested exchanges are recog-
nizing an altogether different prop
osition in the hog market, since the
establishing of the fixed minimum
price of $3.50 at Chicago this week,
and are facing a problem which will
possibly differ so widely from that
of October that it will be hard to
forecast the condition of the mar
ket. AS long as this good weather
continues the shipments are inclined
to be light and the big receipts are
not expected before December, pos
sibly not before the middle of the
month.
Increase Expected.
When the new crop of hogs begin
to move it is expected to be fully
Is per cent increase over the crop
OF last year, yet there will be no ad-
vantage taken of breaking the mar
ket since all concerned are DESTROYS
of maintaining values that will EN-
courage the continued production
and sterilization of prices to the
end of eliminating all serious breaks
in prices. The forecasting of ad-
vance in prices is a thing of the
past. Prices are going to be so main
tanned that there will be no special
advance and no decline.

South Side
IS HE'LL after
THEF|GHT,
SOUTH SIDE man
Former Pastor Of St An.
thongs Church, Now in
France, Writes to
Gene MeIady.

Rev. George F. Jonaitis. former
pastor of St. Anthony's Catholic
churSh, South Thirty-second and S
streets, and one of the most popu-
lar priests on the South Side, writes
an interesting letter to Gene Melady
and other friends, from Somewhere
in France" where he is chaplain in
the One Hundred and Second infan-
try.
Father Jonaitis enlisted for the
service and likes it, being we'll and
happy and says he has one of the
best divisions in the whole United
States and is proud of his boys. He
makes an appeal for smokes for the
boys!
About 5000 has been subscribed
to the fund for that purpose since
the subscription was solicited Satur-
day afternoon i'll the Exchange
building by Charles Cannon. More
will be added to that amount Mon
day when the canvass is completed.
Popular on South Side.
Father Jonaitis is Lithuanian,
we'll educated in his language. Il
was during his pastorate here that
St. Anthony's church was built and
he is held in the highest regard by
his countrymen on the South Side.
His letter follows:
II suppose you will be surprised to hear
from me. Well. I am we'll and happy in
good old belle France, fighting the boche,
as the Frenchmen say.
II had plenty work and good voyage
coming to Europe, but many yet to come.
My boys come out victorious after the
battle, but one thing. they have nothing
to smoke, hard to buy, and It's hell after
the fight. l am proud Of my division and
my regiment. I have one of the best
lighting outfits In the whole United States.
Can Be Of Help.
You can help me to make much better
and more happier If you send me some
little change to buy cigarettes or send
me some cigarettes from the states IL the
government permits 1t.
IT have no use for Hun. What they
have done for our boys. believe me they
are not human, but worse than Indians.
How are things in Omaha? l miss
very much Here we have wrestling and
boxing, and base ball, and the soldler boys
love it, but one thing we are short OF Is
material.
"As I know you well, you can make our
program much better and help us great.
The boys will not forget Omaha and the
smiling chaplain from the stock yards
when / get all those things for them
always believed that you are good sport
and you will not turn this letter down
for the sake of your country.
1T expect to eat my Xmas dinner in Ber-
lin and sure you can be with me and enjoy
Il.
my best regards to the boys in the
stock yards and can assure you that oma-
ha looks good to me-"

The Bees
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For ShoeIess Children

How did The Bee come to
start the shoe fund.-" number
of people have asked.
1t was this way. "A Bee reporter
met Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, a
worker for the Board of Public
Welfare. Cant your paper do
something to help the poor little
children this winter?" she asked.
Shoes are high and many families
find it impossible to buy them. I
know how much shoes cost, for I
used to buy them for my two
boys, but Uncle Sam is buying
their shoes now, so I can supply
two other boys. Wouldn't some
other parents whose boys are in
the army now buy shoes for some
of these little children instead?"
Other welfare workers corrob-
Grated her statement as to the
unusual need and The Bee starred
the fund.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2.-(Special
Telegram )-According to inside in
formation the 18th hour effort of the
democratic machine to annex the
votes of the foreign element is about
to be put forth Pursuant to a well
laid plan. The bunch is that the sub
committee of the AUGMENTATION
committee appointed by Governor
Neville has formulated its report
though not yet given out except
through the governor to his CAM
pafgn managers.
Runners have been sent to all
communities affected where the
men are to be asked to stay after
their church services tomorrow to
receive assurance that this report
will grant what they desire in the
way of permission to hold church
services and give religious instruc-
ton in foreign language. They
are also to be told that this out
come has the approval and is to
be credited to Governor Neville.
leaving it to their gratitude to vote
for him at the coming election.
Some OF those who were to be in
on the game, SO it is said, denounce
the whole scheme as a misuse OF
the Americanization committee for
political purposes and insist that
the Withholding of the report to the
eve of election and its use to bolster
up the falling fortunes of the demo
cratic governor will be resented by
the foreign language element. They
also believe it will react against the
democratic wire pullers with those
who take the work of Americaniza
ton seriously and not as political
