Spats Made Popular
by New Draft Law

w nth the coming of cool
w weather an unusual demand
for spats has arisen. The
popularity OF spats has been brought
about by the draft law. according to
dealers. They account for 1t In this
way:
Many men wear low shoes In sum-
mer. Many are still wearing them.
They are not very comfortable In
cool weather. Many Of the wearers
have been called In the draft They
don't want to 60 to the expense OF
buying new shoes. They're waiting
for Uncle Sam to supply them. In
the meantime they cover their low
shoes with spats, which are COM
paratively inexpensive.

That the average woman is showing a
preference for the semi-dress model in
stead OF the strictly tailored or demi-
tailleur suits is the consensus OF opinion
among dealers.
Despite the fact that the new fall

Silks in Yokohama remained on hrm

prices were nearly stationary around
1850 yen. Buying was restricted In a
measure, most of II being in small lots.
In the local market prices have varied
but little Sinshui No. 1 has remained
unchanged, while Kansai grades varied
only slightly. There were few fiuctua-
tions In the Shanghai market, and Can
ton was without price changes. The
Italian market did not hold much inter-

him go, and he squatted behind her,
watching what he knew would follow.
Then, while it grew darker, she
called the other dog, who was now
just shadow on the hillside. she
was very, very small, but she was alb
solutely determined and eventually
he came cringing up. The other dog
waited till she was through, and then
they both raced back to their proper
places on either flank of the flock anu
started to drive the sheep on home.
When the dogs stood on their feet
without cringing they came up almost
to the little girls shoulder. i do not
think she was more than eight years
old. She smiled at me, with the I'M
selfconsciousness Of little children,
and fastened back to the flock. i
stood there for some time watching
her tiny figure striding down the road,
driving the flock before her. No one
could have any doubt that she would
handle any situation which might
arise. OF such are the mothers OF
France.

DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
BY HAROLD A. LAMB
of the viQiIantes.

Your Liberty bond-whether II is for
$50 or SCOOPS your savings. To
sell Il is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep your bond, the more
valuable 1t is going to be.
1t does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell the
amount Of your subscription. Many
of us have strained ourselves to buy
the bonds, and necessity may force
some of us to get the money back.
But the way to do this is not to sell
bond. Dishonest sharpers will take
your bonds and give you, say, $50 for
the 500.
II you must have money, go to q re-
liable bank or broker. They will lend
you 500 on the 500, and the interest
on your bond will nearly pay the in
terest on the money they lend you.
Then by paying the loan, you can have
the bond back.
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them.
Two years after the war ends they
will be worth--it Is estimated-$110.
II the war ends In three years or un-
der you will then be receiving 6A
per cent--on the safest investment In

BRAvADO AND THE WAR
BY ROBERT GRANT

Recently during an intermission at
the movies performer came out and
sang with gusto song, which pleased
the audience about "Pershing Crossing
the Rhine" Every few days one reads
headlines in the newspapers proclaim
ing that nine Americans have repulsed
or vanquished 33 Germans. This is
baleful talk. Our delay In the produc-
ton of ships and airplanes and guns
may have been unavoidable, seeing
that some people are thanking God
that the United States entered the war
unprepared, but we should at least re-
frain from bravado, stop Boosting of
what we are going to do and recognize
the gravity of our undertaking.
heard an American officer high in COM
mand say not long ago, IF our troops
ever reach Berlin, when they come to
a certain building-the quarters Of the
German military staff, let them lift
their hats" He spoke from the point
Of view of military prowess.
1t is meet for Americans to bear in
mind that all other wars which they
" dIy OtucI ptOpiC udNC lOuShL WCIC
child's play compared with this the
most terrible and relentless contest in
history, and that their part in it has
only just begun. Let us cease to hug
the delusion that our troops are "Over
there" to show the others how to fight
and that all will soon be over but the
shouting. Let us open our minds to
the grim truth that this war which we
have pledged ourselves to win is like
~ to be a supreme test of American
energy, endurance and self-sacrifice
and to cost thousands of American
lives. We are all of the belief that no
man is Drawer than an American, but
it is indispensable that we appreciate
the quality of the foe against whom
we are pitted; that he is the arch-fiend
of military competency and power, the
ruthless, unwearying embodiment of
mastery force and resistance, a mon
ster Of -resourcefulness such as the
world has never seen.
The prophecy that Pershing will
cross the Rhine had better be post
poned until he arrives In sight of 1t,
and the confidence that two of Uncle
Sans soldiers can handle three of the
enemy be put in cold storage until a
later stage Of the conflict.

MOTHER OF MEN
BY ALICE WARD BAILEY
of the ViQilantes.

Mother of men, do not mourn,
They have said that your boys must go
And your empty arms
And your souls alarms
Are now all that life can show
But look at the flag so proudly bornel
Mother of men, do not mourn.
Mother of men, do not mourn,
They are taking your mirth and Joy:
But gladness comes
With the roll of the drums
To the heart of each marching boy,
While Right and Honor aloft are borne!
Mother of men,. do not mourn.
Mother Of men, do not mourn,
They have broken your heart, you say;
And the radiant CLEANS
OF our happy dreams
Have all been driven astray-
But for Heaven and Earth your cross ia
borne
Mother of men, do not mourn!

Up to the time of writing, according
to French estimates, the Germans had
used 45 divisions on the Scissors
Reims front, some Of them having been
brought into action several times. Ber-
lin claimed to have taken 24,000 pris-
Oners, while those captured by the
allies were said to number $4,000
The object Of each army has been to
kill as many as possible of its oppo-
nents.

While Mr.. Hoover is In Europe con-
ferring with other food controllers,
the food administration has cut the
monthly allowance Of sugar to two
pounds per person. and warns the
country Is threatened with a serious
sugar famine. The wheat situation Is
better and citizens are released from
the voluntary pledge to do without
that cereal.

German prisoners. It is said. are
deeply depressed by the failure Of the
crown princes drive and the success
Of Foch's offensive. They now realize
the strength Of the American arms,
and the people In Germany also are
beginning to learn the truth about
that, despite the attempts of the lead
ers and the press to minimize II and
to excuse the army's severe reverse.

Nebraska's Soil Product Exhibit.

Lincoln, Oct 25.-To the Editor of
The Bee: In your issue of Friday,
last, referring to Nebraska's signal
victory at the Internationl Soil
Products exposition, you say the ex-
pense Of the exhibit was borne by
the various commercial organiza-
tons Of the state and the Omaha
bureau Of publicity.
The facts are that the expense Of
the exhibit was borne by the Ne
braska department Of PUBLICITY
with the exception of a generous
contribution by the publicity depart
ment Of the Omaha Chamber Of
Commerce.
The commission which I have the
honor to serve decided that the de-
partment of publicity should defray
the expense of this exhibit, the leg
islature having overlooked an ap-
preparation for that purpose. De-
String to conserve the limited ap-
preparation as much as possible !
asked a number of commercial or
gani3ations to assist. Omaha's en-
terprising organization came across
with SIS, and the Alliance organi-
Zation agreed, to do something If
necessary. Thanks to the genius and
public spirit Of Mr.. Martin it was
not necessary to call upon Alliance.
My department appropriated $500,
and this, with Omaha's contribution,
seems to have been sufficient.
l deem it only justice to the Ne
braska department Of publicity and
the Omaha Chamber Of Commerce
that these facts be made known.

Director Nebraska Department Of
Publicity.

"Nebraska's War GOVERNOR"

Nelson, Neb., Oct. 24.--To the Ed
itor of The Bee: There are 30 many
queries being hurled at a fellow
these days as the recipients Of these
circulars sent out by or from the ex-
ecutive Office that they are being
looked at askance, and they all ask:
by what right does Governor Ne
vile claim the distinction to be
called or considered as Nebraska s
war governor
The question is mooted around
whether It is because OF his attempt
to organize the Fighting Seventh"
and then had to back down and out
and allow the boys to go home with
their heads dropping in shame and
seek enlistment elsewhere?
The further query Is whether 1t Is
not exactly in line with Colonel
Bryan's retreat from Cha some
years ago, when he sought to obtain
political significance from 1t. And
he did, and so has our war COVER
