Casualties Yet to Come
Are Slightly Wounded,
Says Secretary Bake,

Washington. Dec. 3.-Secretary
Baker, appearing before the senate
military committee today to ex-
plain the delay in completing the
publication of American casualties
overseas, said he thought most of
the unreported names were those
of men slightly wounded and
would come by mail.
Senators were unable to under
stand who only something over
100000 names have been published,
when it has been officially an
nounced that the casualties num-
Der 1888. The secretary said
every effort consistent with accur-
acy was made to prevent delay
and General Pershing had been
urged repeatedly to expedite his
lists, sending the names of the
dead first.
"The department. from the be-
ginning" Mr.. Baker said, "has
never held up or withheld or de-
layed giving out casualty lists.
Our policy has been to give a com
plete statement as soon as posi-
ble;"

The Bees
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For Shoeless Children

In one family in Omaha there
are three kiddies.
When school opened the father
was ill with influenza and the chill
dren had no shoes. Nor was there
any money to supply this urgent
need.
The children did not start to
school.
A few days later the case was
reported to a teacher. She inves-
tigated and notified Probation Of
ficer Carver. He gave the mat
ter his attention, notified The
Bee, and the three youngsters
were provided with suitable foot
wear through The Bee shoe fund.
This Is but ONE instance.
There are many others.
If you really want to become
convinced of the worthiness of
this charity ask Probation Officer
Carver, in the Board of Education
Office, what he thinks of it.
A fve-dollar bill given to The
Bee shoe fund means thousand
dollars worth of health and hap
piness to some needy child.
There are no overhead or other
expenses attached to this fund.
Every dollar goes where it will
do the MOST good.

AT THE
THEATERS

.nNE OF the most pleasing en-
l tertainers at the Orpheum
this week is minister.
Known as the singing parson, he is
Rev. Frank w. German. One of the
quaint features of the bill is the
venerable grandmother glibly talk
ing up-to-date sl1ng. The character
is humorously portrayed by Mrs
Thomas Whiffen, who is celebrat-
ing her golden anniversary on the
stage by a tour in vaudeville. A
striking dramatic sketch is the vivid
glimpse of the battle front, as
shown in Where Things Happen"
play forcefully presented by a
cast of seven people.
"a Cure for Curables" closes its
stay at the Boyd today with matinee
and evening performances. 1t has
been welcomed because of its bring
ing William Hodge in most
agreeable character and surrounded
by remarkably clever company of
actors.
Diplomatic self-confdence and
push is trait that appeals to every
American and play which has for
its central figure a young man who
thoroughly believes in himself and
carries this assurance o proper
degree is hailed with delight. Such
a play is "A Tailor Made Man."
which will be offered at the Bran
deis theater for the last two times
today, matinee and evening.
The manner in which troops were
Unanswered ip the European battle
fields and the methods OF trench
warfare are shown most admirably
and accurately in Hearts OF the
World the great film drama, which
returns to the Brandeis for its third
engagement, starting tomorrow. The
battle scenes are incidental to the
beautiful romance which Mr.. Grit
fifth has woven about his chief char
aCters.
The properties employed in The
Bird of Paradise" this season, which
comes to the Boyd theater for three
nights commencing Thursday eve
ming December S, are native Ha-
waiian handiwork, secured by Rich
ard Walton Tully, during his re-
cent sojourn among the inhabitants
of Honolulu and the Chambers.
Everything, excepting the scenery
and the actors, is genuinely Ha-
waiian, and even the Hawaiian sing
ers were brought from the islands.
A we'll balanced program is Of
fered at the Empress theater with
music as the outstanding feature.
Frozini is acknowledged peer OF all
accordionists. The Three Harmony
Maids have a classy singing act.
Dorothy Baldwin has voice of
grand opera quality. and Louise
Dusenberry and Carrie Cook, the
others who comprise the act, have
each won. honors for vocal attain
ments.
Though she makes but few ap-
pearances during THE whirlwind
progress of Maids Of America"
Florence Rother proves herself to
be one of the best voiced and in
appearance most pleasing prima
donnas ever to have played at the
Gayety. All the. fun is furnished
by Al. K. Hall and Bobby Barry.
