For by Home Service

a sanitarium, or at light work. EN-
ployment is found for both men and
women. Every day, messages of in
curry are sent regarding the wound
ed and missing, as we'll as communi-
cations to prison camps and enemy
countries.
1--WE have found actual want in a
few instances, where families have
not understood the spirit of this
work. The sacrifice of the wives
and mothers in these families is
nothing short of noble, for over and
over they say "he wanted to go,
and thought | could get along"
TOO much cannot be said for the
noble women who are giving their
time and strength voluntarily to this
work; through heat and cold, sun
shine and storm, they have faith
fully stayed by for a year, and will
continue to the end. They realize
that through contact and environ
ment, many of these returning SOL
diers will have acquired new
standards of living; therefore, home
standards must be maintained and
in some cases readjusted in order to
insure the future happiness of the
families concerned.
Peace does not mean cessation of
the home service; only when every
soldier resumes his family response
bilities will this department cease
from its labors"

AT the last meeting of the Douglas

were informal reports from

n UT of chaos comes calm-out
l of suffering comes submission
" But the home service branch
of the civilian relief have willed
there shall be no great suffering il
it is within their power to alleviate
it in any way. Mrs. c. M. Wilhelm
chairman, has this to say of their
work:
Home service starts with the idea
that inasmuch as a wife or mother
has been called upon to give the
man of the family, she should no,
be obliged, in addition. to be de.
prived Of the ordinary comforts OF
life. Mr.. w. Frank Persons, ma,
tional director of civilian relief, laid
out training course for those who
were willing to undertake this work
Accordingly since November Is
1917, four courses have been con-
Quoted, of 20 and "a hours OF lee
ture and $50 hours of field work, The
first two classes received field work
under Miss Elsinger and the last
two under Miss Ball. We have been
in touch with 400 families and the
service has been varied and inter
esting. Owing to the unavoidable
delay from various causes, in ad-
justing allotments and allowances,
many families have been placed on
a weekly pension, until the govern
ment check is received, and that sup
plemented thereafter, if necessary
Next to the need for financial as
sistance is that of medical and sur
gical attention; too great praise can
not be given to the heroic work of
the physicians and surgeons of Oma-
ha in behalf of the families of men
in the service. Operations without
number have been performed and
generally the need had been long
standing. No less than $50 conhne-
ment cases have received the very
best attention and care. Fully loo
families have had medical attention,
and the hospitals Of Omaha have
provided rooms and nurses care at
little or no cost.
MANY families have been moved
on account of bad housing condi-
tons. or improper surroundings,
articles of household furniture being
supplied where necessary.

father.
Another revolutionary Socialist lead

Ambassador to Russia, who was as
sasinated the next day.

AMSTERDAM, July 27.-Baron Won
Hussark, the new Austrian Premier. in
unfolding his policy in the lower house
OF Parliament, has said, according to
advlces from Vienna:
In firm union with Germany, with
which we arc united in unshakable
friendship and loyalty and with which
we are about to be more closely united,
1t IS now imperative to enforce a sue
cesstul end to this terrible struggle.

members of the Polish section and

Speech Generally Applauded
After saying his programme COM
prised the immediate passing of the
hungarian budget and the making of
preparations to clear up national life
problems, including the creation of
satisfactory conditions for the entire
population and in the DEVELOPMENT of
social welfare organizations, Premier
Hussarek said
Our efforts must be directed toward
the creation of basis for trustful CO.
operation with parliament, which, how
ever, cannot materialize without mu-
tual frankness and straightforward
ness.
"In this respect we first look to those
groups which have formerly on prin-
ciple supported our state in its most
serious struggle, and we are conscious
OF our obligations toward them. We
desire, however, to gain at least such a
degree>of confidence from those not on
our side as may be possible from loyal
opponents. Justice toward all-toward
every race and every class-must, how
ever, be and continue to be our guiding
principle"
Baron Won Hussarek's speech was
generally applauded, though the Ger
man radicals shouted: "Where is the
German course ?"
