SOME FACTS FOR
NEBR. WORKERS
TO PONDER over

OMAHA, Nebr., Dec. 3d. Last

$3.50 and $3.0O-a-week hotels, and 35-
cent restaurants for 25-cent beds, or
Is cents for sitting up. and eating
15-cent meals at the "Workingmen's
Friend"
One OF these cheap restaurants,
which serve three rolls and all the
coffee you can drink for ten cents, re-
sorts to a despicable fraud upon their
patrons. A barrel is placed outside
of the better restaurants for dumping
used coffee, three dollars barrel is
paid for this, which is then dished
up to the workers all you can
drink.

Elders Mourn
Fallen Ideals of
German Youth

Out Of the Cnce sun-hued idealism
OF the German Youth Movement for
a rehabilitation of its young man
hood and womanhood has come one
OF the gravest and most difficult social
problems confronting the nation to-
day. AT the start, holding forth
promise of a sweeping clean from
the hearts and minds of German
youth the rank psychology of five
years of war by embracing the out
doors, the clean sun, fragrant YER
dure, the movement has become the
tool of class, religious and sectional
hates under sUpeT-structure Of
chauvinism.
At first fine and noble. the Move
ment has become to-day as the ma
ton. a mad patchwork of militant
internecine conflict. And of all the
tragic political, economic and social
disasters of this nation, the most sad
is the failure of this Movement, now
an exotic, bewiIdering. paradoxical
creature. as dangerous and feverish
as the rank miasma of war and
peace-war that have been rampant
in Germany for the last ten years.
