With the British Army in France,
Sept. l1.-Some idea OF what the
average intelligent German thinks of
the war now may be cleaned from a
letter written on August 20 by a non
commissioned officer to his brother
in the ranks:
II had to do retreat through Ga
licia in 1916" says the writer, Il
know we'll enough what it means. 1t
is perfectly obvious that you have had
heavy casualties from a retirement OF
the kind you have been making but il
cannot be helped. You must be glad
to be resting now, but you won't be
allowed that satisfaction long, for a
lot of men and material are needed
now and there isn't much of either.

New Kind Of Projecti|e
Beinq Used bV Germans

With the British Armies in France.
Sept. 1l.-Just before the British
launched their attack this morning on
the enemy trenches northwest of
Peizeire. below Gouzeaucourt, the
Germans for the first,time employed a
new kind of projectile in an effort
to drive the New Zealand troops from
nearby positions.
The projectiles, which were about
the size of oranges, were fired at
short range in salvos of from 200 to
800 each. and were sprinkled over an
area of two 70 three acres. These
projectiles burst into fame as they
hit the ground and gave off gas.

JEWS PLEDGE sum
OF $4,000 WAR
RELIEF QUICKLY
Portion of Hundred Thousand
Dollar Fund Assigned to
Omaha Raised In Fif-
teen Minutes. g.

In less than IS minutes last night
Omaha Jews pledged more than $4O.-
900 for war relief work. This amount
is a part of the 100000 fund that has
been assigned to Omaha by the Amer
ican-Jewish relief committee. Two
thirds of the money raised, in the
United States-$l5 900, ,000-will be
used for war relief work among suf-
ferers in war-stricken nations of the
entente. The other third is for the
benefit Of American soldiers and sail
ors abroad and at home.
The meeting of this committee was
held in the City Hall. Mayor E. P.
Smith addressed the gathering and
pledged the hearty and undivided
support of Omaha. Rabbi Cohn made
a patriotic talk and exhorted all Jews
present not only to give until it hurts,
but give until it makes you feel good.
At the conclusion of his talk Mayor
Smith repeated the following classic:
Il do not understand it, any more
than you do, but there is something
about this thing Of giving that blesses
us. No man has ever impoverished
himself by giving. 1t cannot be done.
Those who give most, have most left.
No man ever died poor because OF
that which he gave away. No one
has ever gone hungry after giving
away his bread; someway, some
where, somehow, bread has been pro-
vided for him."
M. Goldenberg. South Side mer-
chant, pledged 10 per cent of all sub
scriptions collected south of Vinton
street.
The officers of the committee are:
Harry Zimman, chairman; Henry
Monsky, secretary; Morris Levy,
treasurer.

Prisoners from the second guards

Some prisoners have not only ex-
hibited the greatest pleasure at being
captured, but actually urged the Brit

many Germans as possible 50 as to
end the war quickly. Then as each
fresh batch of prisoners arrived at

Stockholm, Sept. S.-pologda IS re-

guards. Before leaving Vologda the
Russian red army is said to have
burned the town.
Months of Horror.
July and August were months OF
horror which never will be forgotten
by persons who watched Russla's two
great cities-Petrograd and Moscow
pass through the mad attempt OF
the bolshevilt; to shoot or imprison
all persons VINO disagreed with their
wild efforts to control crumbling
European Russia. September prob
ably will be worse, for the opposll-
ton parties are gaining strength
through desperation.
The lives of the non-bolsheviki are
unsafe and everywhere in Russia self
defense is forcing unwilling helliger-
ents to take up arms against the
ruthless persecution of the se-called
commissions for the suppression OF a
counter-revolution which shoot down
the bourgeoisie by the hundreds. ..
Gives No Quarter.
Leon Trotzky, the bolsheviki min.
ister of war, evidently IS determined
that his dictatorship OF the prole..
tarlat will not repeat the history OF
the former provisional government
and fail through being too merciful
Fx-Pren1ier Kerensky refused to
impose the death penalty and his
government fell almost without the
loss of life, but observers OF the
Russian political Situation say that
no such bloodless end can come to
the soviet republic. 1t has given no
quarter and it will receive none.
Premier Lenine. War Minister
Trotzky, Sverdloff, president of the
central executive committee, and
other bolsheviK leaders realize this
and they doubtless will fight as long
as single soldier remains loyal to
them.
Trotzky has said in his speeches
that Moscow will be reduced to ashes
before it is surrendered. Yaroslav,
a town on the Vo1ga, 100 miles north
east of Moscow. was burned for re-
sisting bolshevik domination and

is reported to have suffered the same
fate.
Night, Hideous With Executions.
Night has been hideous in Moscow
for months because OF the volleys
from execution squads in the mill
tary enclosures where prisoners are
kept. Foreigners and Russians alike
were searched without warrants and
the Red Guards marched crowds OF
men and women prisoners through
the streets with such regularity that
pedestrians hardly noticed them.

scarcely begun at that time.

FARM BUREAU NOTES
Attention
Growers of Wheat and Rye

Growers OF wheat and rye
With all growers of Red Rock
wheat and Rosen rye of seed quality
at once send to this office a state
ment of the amount you have for sale
with your name, address, section num-
Der and the name of your township.
There will be big demand for
grain of these varieties for seed this
fall and this office desires to prepare
complete list Of all the men in the
county having any of these grains
for sale, both the certified and the
uncertified.
Rosen rye is strictly in class by
itself as far as yield is concerned,
and this year when our country needs
every possible bushel of bread tim
Der, no rye but Rosen should be
grown.
We urge the sowing of the certi-
fled Rosen rye as far as possible, but
the uncertified probably can be pur-
chased cheaper and will out-yield in
every case common rye, and very
likely the certified Rosen rye will do
still better because of being more
pure. Rye cross pollenates the same
as corn, therefore uncertified Rosen
rye may be slightly mixed with COM
mon rye.
We are pushing the use of Red
Rock seed wheat, certified seed if
possible because, after four years
experience with this variety it has
proven in the majority of cases where
tried out beside other varieties Of
wheat, to be. heavier yield and more
winter hardy and at the same time
a producer of grain with superior
milling and baking qualities.

present system of marketing of all

Standardization of the same. We
have too many varieties of grain to
market them to advantage. We need
in the state of Michigan only one
variety of rye, and that is pure Rosen
rye. One variety of wheat in the
county and up to the present time it
looks as though Red Rock is the
variety. 1t may be we will soon
have better variety, if so, it will
be all the easier to make it standard
when it appears, if we now standard

WHAT CATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with

Stay at Home, Mr.. President

The papers have been making fuss about Mr. wilson
attending the peace conference in Europe but up to TINS
time we have seen nothing the subject from Mr.
Wilson and it is more than probable that Mr. Wilson
has not even considered any such action
We see no reason why he should attend the CONFER
ence at all He is the head of the American Republic
and as such it seems to us that it would be more IN
keeping with the honor and dignity of the great ONCE
he holds for him to remain in Washington at his usual
place of business
The delegates the coming peace conference WILL OF
course have the benefit of his counsel and advice con-
stantly by cable, but believe it would in way De
cheapening the great office he holds for him to leave II
to attend any other business out of our country
TODAY America stands out in the great me-light OF
the world as the greatest nation earth and the oce
of President of the United States is undoubtedly the
greatest honor the whole world why should ne even
think leaving Washington, the most important seat o
government for any reason?
STAY at home, Mr. Wilson, you are right now IN
the center of the most important place on earth
When the above editorial written the president
had said nothing of his intention to go to france anu
as it still represents views on the subject we let
stand.
The trip would be exactly what we would expect OF
Mr. Roosevelt but we had idea that Mr.. wilson
would yield to the desire to go.
If his presence will do any good toward the securing
of permanent and binding league of nations Tor the
future prevention of war it may be for the best tha ne
goes but even that to might have been ar
ranged without making this trip which will be looked
at we fear by many, a sort of triumphal tour
