There will he other Liberty Loans,

calls for funds as the war goes on.
One immediate call for patriotic
action has not yet been fully an
swered by Illinois. This is the War
Savings Campaign.
The week of May II to is has been
set aside as pledge week by the War
Savings committee. During that week
efforts will be made to have all of the
more than 100000 residents of the
state pledge themselves to do some.
thing to help win the war, Pledge
cards will be circulated by tens of
thousands of solicitors on which
every resident should signify his will

week or every month for the remain

the true pledge of loyalty. The

The man of wealth should sign

Stamps weekly or monthly that will
make him the owner of 200 of them

more than that. He should have every
member of his family sign up for the
same amount. No one may hold more

The man of lesser wealth may sign

Even the little children, the babies
whose pennies usually go into little
tin banks, should have cards signed
for them, even II the amount taken Is
only 20 cents a month. Every man,
woman and child in Illinois should be
a partner of the government.
The fact that you have purchased
Liberty Bonds to the limit does not
excuse you from the duty of signing
the War Savings Pledge, No matter
how large your purchases, you surely
can save something during the re-
mainder of the year.
The signing of this War Savings
Pledge is not only duty, but priv

be no better way to put away money
intended to meet later emergencies.
Illinois quota for these stamps is
S125,000,000. The state is far behind
its quota to date. More than $780,
100000 must be pledged in a week. It
is recommended also that those who
can afford to purchase SO, 500, $50,
500 or $1,000 worth of the stamps
at one time, do so at once, because
Illinois must take her place among
the leading states in the War Savings
Campaign. Other states are far ahead
of us. A few have actually met the
early expectations of the government.
Let Illinois do its duty, and do 1t
now.

Washington. Dec. 5.-The army

army last March.
The remainder of the report is
devoted to a presentation of the
steps it was found necessary to take
to build UP an adequate general
staff, and the announcement that a
complete plan of reorganization for
he army, including the staff is being
worked out.
"The modesty and gallantry of
the individual American soldier in
France is a matter of pride to all
Americans" General March declar-
ed. General Pershing and his COM
mand have earned the thanks Of the
American people"
The chief of staff also commends
the work of General Bliss at Yer
sailles, which, he says, was of the

"The company has been losing

HE gave the highest praise to
Major Macrea and the unit and de-
clared that this brave hospital had

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
To relieve the traffic situation the
Union Pacific put on short trains
between Council Bluffs and Omaha,
but it is doubtful if the business will
warrant their continuance. Both
trains were operated during the
early morning hours and on one
trip over, the train handled seven
and the other three passengers.
The Burlington loaded all of its
early west bound trains with passen-
gers for South Omaha. Usually
these trains do not stop at the South
Omaha depot, but to accommodate
the packing house and stock yards
clerks and employees they stopped to
let the passengers Oft.
Jitneys Are damned.
Jitneys operating between Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Omaha were loaded
to capacity during the early morn
ing, or at least those were where
the drivers did not attempt profteer-
ing. The jitneys as a rule started
from Pearl and Main streets, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and charged Is cents for
the trip to Fourteenth and Farnam
streets.
Some of the avaricious jitney own
ers tried to- hold passengers up for
50 cents and few tried to exact 81
for the trip across the river. Few
passengers patronized them.
Proffered Many Rides.
A young lady who lives in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and who is employed n
Omaha, during pleasant weather. as
a matter of exercise, has frequently
walked to her work. She says it had
always been her experience before
the strike to be interrupted in her
hike by auto owners proffering
her lift.
She says she has had as many as
70 of these on one mornings jaunt.
For the past two days she has been
compelled to walk to and from her
work to her home, and, sad to relate
nary an offer of conveyance has
she had from burrying automobiles.
Ad. Brings Some Results.
During conversation with Presi-
dent Short of the union Thursday
morning, Mayor Smith stated: Il
shall be glad to cooperate in any
way, as an intermediary or in any
capacity"
The street car company's adver-
tsement for men to operate cars
brought applicants whose names
have been recorded.
The company is obtaining evil
dence of alleged interference by
strikers of old employees who have
reported for duty.

the street car company at war labor
board hearing in Kansas City, at
tended Thursday mornings confer
ence in the street railway Offices.
Jitney traffic has been increasing
every hour. One of these operators
reported that he collected $50 in
seven hours on Wednesday. He
stated that many passengers were
willing to pay 50 cents for transpor-
tation from Twenty-fourth and
Leavenworth streets to Twenty
fourth and N streets.
