Dear friend-I am now writing

night of June 18th in great
hurry to go to the front line to

like to start it again because we
Al have had experience of it, and
r knew exactly what we were
S|Dout to begin; but we were more
than willing to fight again and
with more enthusiasm than before,
because the moment we left for
the front line at the neutral zone,
we all felt the lonesome and pain
full days we had spent in Ger
many because Of their refusal to
sign the treaty. So we was more
than glad to be at liberty to make
them sign at the point Of our bay

had brought victory to our "God

on guard on the front line after

When we took ammunition with
our equipment to 60 forward

Now it is all over, we have long

ran up to $3,S00,000,0O0. This left
$1,000, 100000 of net revenue, which
was cut down more than $20O,000,-
600, by deductions of ordinary
taxes, rentals for equipment not
owned by railroad companies and
other incidental losses.
War taxes and expenses of main
tanning financial and other corporate
offices, including salaries of officers
not actually employed in physically
operating the railways, must be paid
by the railroad companies out of
the $o50,000,000 which the govern
ment guarantees them.
All Records Broken.
For the railroads, 1918 was year
which broke all records of revenues
and expenses. Although receipts
were nearly 20 per cent greater OK
penses were even more. 1t took 80
per cent of the operating revenues
to pay operating expenses, although
only 20 per cent was taken for this
purpose in 1907. Operating ex-
penses which, with estimated figures
for the past two months, amounted
to $3,S000O0000 were $l,000000,000
more than in 1917. Increased wages
are estimated variously to have been
responsible for between $600OO0,OO0
and $500, 100000 of this 100000, 900.

Are women as yet really needed IN

in industrial management believes
that before the war ends women
will be needed by the hundred
thousands, and we ought now to be

eXtravagant, poor housekeeper or

may be due to being disagreeable

cases illness contributes largely to
the trouble in the home.

Even a Rotten Egg is
Good for Something

"Thar amt nothin' in the world
but is good fer somethin'," is one
of the favorite sayings of Jim Buck
ley of Bear Lake, Ala.
Buckley is a thrifty soul. He
farms in summer and traps Ill WIN
ter and between wheat and furs he
is growing rich. One morning
while his wife was cooking break
fast, she broke a rotten egg into a
skillet and was starting toward the
door to throw it away when Buck
ley stopped her.
woman. don't throw that egg
away" said Bucklef.
But it's rotten" protested his
wife.
Makes no difference" declared
the philosopher. Thar amt nothin
in the world but"
"James Buckley" exclaimed his
wife, I've heard that a thousand
times"
The wolf never shifts at the doors
of the prosperous farmers of the
Peace River country. But foxes are
different animals and-here is some
thing you don't know-rotten eggs
are rated as an epicurean tidbit in
vilpine menus.
That night Buckley set a trap in a
poplar grove near his home and
baited it with the rotten egg. He
hoped to catch red fox or perhaps
a coyote. But when he went out to
his trap next morning. what do you
think he found? The biggest silver
fox Buckley ever had clapped eyes
on. He sold the pelt in Peace River
the other day for S346.
"a right nice lot of money to hatch
from a rotten egg remarked Buck
lev. as he stuffed the money in his
pocket. "I've alters allowed that
thar amt nothin' in the world but is
GOOD fer somethin'."

CREL|CK HELD
FOR RUNN|NCLAD
Down WITH CAR
Driver for Elmer J. Neville
Admits Struck Edward Ma
siIka in Tenth Street,
Causing His Death.

Jack Grelick, II years old, 2526
Parker street, was taken into GUS
today Tuesday night by Detectives
Van Duesen and Danbaum on a
charge of manslaughter.
Grelick drove the Packard car on
South Tenth street last Saturday
night that hit Edward Masilka, IL
year-old son of Mrs. Marie Masilka,
OILS Dorcas street. Masilka died
shortly afterward at St. Joseph hos
rital. Grelick is out on $1,000 bond.
After striking Masilka, Grelick
turned out all lights and speeded
away with the body of Masilka still
hanging to the tenders of the car.
About the middle of the block the
ad was shaken free and the front
aid rear wheels passed over him.
Grelick had been driving for Ell
mer ]. Neville, 1928 Jones street, for
about three weeks and had driven
his son, James, to the Omaha Ath-
etic club where he was tod to call
lor him in an hour.
II had an hour to spend" said
Grelick at the police station, and
was just driving around"
las soon as | hit the man | took
the car to garage" he continued.
Did you inform Neville of the &C
cident?"
Il did, and was told to see Attor-
ney ]. F. Stout, III South Thirty
ninth street." was the reply.
What did he advise you to do"
ne was asked.
"He would give me no advice
whatever" he said.
did you ask him if you had bet
ter call the police station?"
II did, and was told to use my
own judgment"
1t was said at the Neville home
last night that the Neville family
had gone to California and that the
son, James, left in the afternoon for
Yale college.
The Stock Yards National Bank
offered a $3.50 reward and worked
increasingly to clear up the mystery
and it was through the bank the in
formation came that led to the ar
rest of Grelick. He was found at

is expected that while here he will

promoted for the benefit OF needy
Armenians.
Street railway employees who were
out during the recent strike have
been looking forward with interest
to the hearing which has been sched-
uled for today. Many OF these
men feel confident that the union
recognition feature OF the situation
will enter into the deliberations OF
the war labor board.
President Wattles of the street
railway company stated yesterday
that the Omaha traction prob
lem is community problem.
"One thing is certain: this COM
pany must reduce operating ex-
penses, but we will not reduce the
pay of the men until the last dog is
hung. 1t has been our policy to in
crease wages, which we have done
steadily from the old fiat rate of 20
cents per hour to the present scale
of Al to 43 cents per hour" said Mr..
Wattles.
Community Problem.
1--WE will have to dispense with
new construction and RECONSTRUCT
tor. and we may have to reduce
scme of the service. The destruc-
ton of this company will not solve
the street car problem in Omaha. 1t
is now a community problem and !
have passed the point of looking at
the situation from a personal point
of view.
"When we 60 before the war labor
board we will offer to show our
books During recent months we
have not been earning enough to
meet actual operating expenses, to
say nothing of paying dividends. We
do nor know what may be ahead of
us as a traction company. Other
companies throughout the country
are experiencing trouble. The
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
has just passed into recelvershlp.

Soldier Believes in
Being on Safe Side
With His Sweetheart

Paris, Dec. 22.-He wanted to
buy a Christmas present for his
girl back home so that she could
show it to all the other girls. and
destroy their peace of mind be-
cause it had come from France. He
knew just what he wanted, too, but
every time he thought of going into
the shop and trying to ask in
French for the thing he wanted, he
got red behind the ears. He had
gone over the top in the past, ,in-
afraid, but he couldn't do this.
At last, when his leave was all up,
he went into the canteen and asked
the Y. NJ. c. A. woman there to
make the purchase for him. He gave
her the address, and hoped 1t
wouldn't be too much trouble to
send the package.
"Of course it won't" said the Y.
NJ. c. A. woman who buys dozens
of such gifts each week. "1'll enjoy
it. III see that the package goes all
right, and, if you like, I'll write her
a little note too, telling her how
we'll you're looking"
"That will be nice" said the prl-
vate. He counted out the money, a
generous amount. Still he fingered,
and it was evident that he had some
thing else on his mind.

"Please be careful what you say in

"That will be fine said the pri-

derstandingly, saluted, turned and
