The world is short of food and millions will starve
is short of fuel and millions will freeze it is short
of many products, and the shortage forces prices to
higher figures
The world is short work. and millions idle
when every idle increases starvation increases the
number who will freeze DEATH will add to the cost
Of living and endanger all governments and all civilza
tion.
Willing idleness today, by rich or poor, is Grim
nality
Workers needed never before, and the work
shrker is a Stacker criminal, co-operator with the
forces of starvation and freezing.
Before the judgment seat of just God every soul
shall day stand and the light of eternity shall il
umine the record of everyone On that day shall the
women and babies who died for lack of food and fuel
point accusing finger at you and say, Had you work
ed and inspired others to work, would not have died
in hunger and cod?"
Work and more work, work to the last of
strength and to the highest degree of efficiency; work
such the soldier gave the battlefield amid the

hel[devsed bomb; work in spirit of sacrifice and
sefshness; work because upon every mans work will
cent suferer-this must be the inspiring thought in
every mans life just now
Profits and wages not today the supreme issue
Both important, vital in their way, but they sink
into nsignifcance by the side of the mighty issue of
saving the world from the forces of evil which fatten
the agonies of the starving and freezing people

CAPT. WILLIAMS, PRoGNosTICAToR.

On October 90 1917, Capt. L. G. Williams, of the
Ans2ac store wrote advertisement which was pub

veull be over bv December 1918 This advertisement
sad.
THE WAR WILL BE OVER BY DEC. 1918.

strength necessary least hold the eastern front
with possible heavy oensives and regaining of ground

@Italy will take Trieste and smash through toward
vienna we'll heavy oensves in other directions
America will be the Western front with men
who "inow no such word fail" and with prepon-
aerance of men, artillery, and the complete domination
If the air Germany will be smashed out of France and
Belgium.
Submarines will have been practically put out of
BUSINESS and there will be nothing left but for
GERMANY TO SURRENDER. Save this ad-
gertIsement and see if it comes true.
"AFTER THE WAR, WHAT? Cotton will go to
forty fifty pound woolens will go higher than
11ws in fact all finished products and materials

The war ended with Germany's surrender Novem-
Ger II, 1918. Half of Capt Williams reasons were
fulfilled and half were wrong-Russia did not regain
strength hold the Eastern 'front.' and Italy did not
break through toward Vienna, but America WAS on
the Western front stronger than any gave her credit

THE STRIKE.

FOR many years, oh DANES and gents I've written
PONIES for twenty cents, but I've raised the
price; quarter you must unload, if you would
buy of me ODE and naught less will suffice My
laurel wreath the useful Tyre that have twangec
with jealous fire, I've laid upon the shelf; no more
shall I endure my wrongs; if you want helpful,
deathless songs, you'll have to sing yourself. My
wrongs! don't know what they are, but in all places,
near and and far talk of wrongs with bile; and
don't want to trail along without a single blawsted
wrong-I want to be in style. I am resolved no
tyrants heel shall grind my face place the seal of
bondage on my brow; and my muse has quit her
flights; I'll stand up for my sacred rights, though 1
must soak the cow. In vain your wailing children
plead for elegies and odes to read I've shut off the
supply; in vain your wives the cupboards comb to
find madrigal or pome-there's nothing there but
pie In vain you rant around and curse because you
cannot find verse to paste inside your hat until my
wrongs whateer they be, have found proper remedy,
I'll sing no more, that's fiat.

Will Allow Steel Workers
to Organize in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, June 22.-The Ameri-
can federation of labor will be per-
mitted to hold meetings in halls in
McKeesport in its effort to organize
iron and steel workers of this sec
ton. Mayor George F. Lysle in
formed representatives of the labor
body. While the federation COM
mittee was in session with the
mayor, a meeting, under the direc-
ton of American federation of labor
organizers, was in progress on a
street corner in McKeesport.
The question of holding indoors
meetings in McKeesport has been
before the public for several
months. Labor leaders charged
that city officials were threatening
them with arrest if they attempted
to hold organization sessions. Will
liam Z. Foster, secretary of the
federations national committee,
heralded the mayors decision as a
victory for the American Fedora
ton of labor's fight to "reestablish
the right of free speech and free as
sembly" in McKeesport and other
industrial towns OF Western Penn

Appropriations Likely
Passed bY End Of June

Washington, June 22.-With only
desultory debate on the peace treaty
and the league of nations covenant
expected as the result of the decision
of republican leaders not to call up
the Knox resolution, congress will
start on a week of important legis-
lative action. Chief activity is Or
dered to be manifested in the senate
with a view to passing appropriation
bills needed to continue government
operations after the end of the pres
ent fiscal year on June 80. The $685.,
100000 army appropriation is to
come up Monday in the senate and
will be followed by the naval appro-
priation bill. The sundry civil ap-
preparation measure will be trans
mitted Monday to the senate and
probably will come up for action I'M
mediately after the military meas,
ureS.
Senate leaders believed with night
sessions that all appropriation meas
ures can be passed by July 80, but
with President Wilson not expected
to return before the first week of
July, hiatus of a few days in federal
funds is almost certain to result, as
it is planned to hold the bills until
he arrives at the White House. The
lack of funds, democratic leaders
declare, will be technical, not actual
ly embarrassing to government &C
tivities.

RAILWAY HEADS
TRY TO PLEASE
RETURNED men
May Be Reason Troop Trains
Were Routed Long Way
Between Omaha and
Lincoln.
(By A Staff Correspondent

Lincoln, June 22,-(SpeciaD.-
The railway administration has
given it out that in the transporta-
ton of troops the sole object in
sending them out over certain
lines, though it may be the longer
way, "is to please the men,"
This is doubtless why the railway
administration sent the returning
soldiers who passed through
Omaha three weeks ago to Lincoln,
over the Union Pacific by way OF
Valley instead of the direct line oil
the Burlington or Rock Island, hall
the distance to Lincoln.
The boys had not had much rid
ing since leaving France, it is sup
posed, and they must have enjoyed
immensely taking a four-hour ride
in the hot and dusty cars and did
not care to have the enjoyment cut
down to only two-hour trip over
the Burlington.
Another Case Shown.
The consideration of the railway
administration for the enjoyment"
OF the boys was more recently
shown when it ran a train of troop
cars from Omaha to Cheyenne over
the Burlington, distance of sol
miles, over 100 of which was over
branch line, when they had d.
rect line like the Union Pacific of
only SIC miles. Catering to the
pleasures of the homecoming SOL
diers by routing their trains the
longest way must be appreciated by
the boys this hot weather when they
are anxious to get home to mother,
wife and baby.

SUMMER TIME
ARRIVES AS PER
ADVANCE NOTICE
Parks Offer Evidence That
Season of Merry PiCniCk-
ers Is at Hand; Many !
Enjoy Beaches.

Summer arrived in Omaha
yesterday on schedule time and as
per sample delivered last week
Sunday was the formal beginning
of the good old summer time, the
advent of the summer solstice. The
forecast for the next few months
is fair and warmer.
The parks offered ample evidence
that this is the season of the merry
picnicker and the festive chigger-
bug. The public swimming pools
were scenes of happy bathers who
sought refreshing plunges. The
large man who could swim like a
feather was there, and the timid
maiden who had to hold the hand
of her escourt, also was out in her
new bathing suit. Henry Letting
we'll took his family to Municipal
beach and proceeded to give a
demonstration of how he could act
like a fish when he was young. He
swallowed a few gallons of lake
water and then his boy, Willie,
showed him how it is done. Ma
Leffingwell sat on bench and
pointed with pride to the Aquatic
members of her family. Willie dove
from the high board and ma shut
her eyes in fear that he would
never return. Pa Leffingwell es-
sayed the task, slipped while he
was making the dive and fell into
the water like a chunk of concrete.
Then they all ate ice cream and
drank pop. 1t was the first big day
of the season at the beach. The
other municipal bathing places were
well patronized.
Golfers Out in Force.
The golf links were we'll attended
Members of Carter Lake club en-
joyed the day on land and on water.
Manawa, Lakeview and Krug park
were attended by thousands of
cutters.
The police have been given a de-
scription of the man who asks, as
it hot enough for you?" After they
have located Roy Kelly, the police
will find this ubiquitous person who
aggravates with his bromide ques-
tior. The man who rocks the boat
is loose again. He is to be informed,
if not inferred.
The open season for picnics is
here once again; the days when the
family HES away to some secluded
spot with basket of provender.
Mother prepares the lunch and faith
er wishes it was time to go home
before the picnic ground is reached.
About the time they reach the scene
of the outing, the boy of the family
asks. Say, when are we going to
eat?' and ma tells him to shut his
mouth or she will send him home
The boy climbs tree and tears his

Mutinous British Troops
Refuse to Salute Officers

London, June 22.-(By The Asso-
eiated Press. 1.-The mutinous con-
duct of troops at Sutton Camp, Sur
reg, which has been growing for the
past 10 days, eliminated Sunday in
the formation of committee of the
men and their refusal to salute or to
obey orders. This morning two bat
talions of troops were sent to the
camp in light fighting trim and with
4 machine gun.
The troops arrested four hundred
men, among them the ringleaders,
and dispatched 1900 other men to
camps at Dover and Canterbury
The main grievance of the men was
that they were being ordered to
France,
