GERMAN GUN IS OUTCLASSED Thomas Harold Submitted Plans of His Invention to the Government, But They Were Not Accepted; Be lieves Boehe Gun Embodies Some of His Principles, If Not His Gun. DENVER, Colo.—Had the United States government accepted a de sign offered it two years ago by Mr. Thomas W. Harold, Colored, of Ports mouth, General Pershing might now have a gun “over there” capable of throwing a shell ninety miles. The Ledger-Dispatch of March 27 contain ed the following account of Mr. Har old’s gun: “In connection with the ‘mystery gun’ with which the Germans are bom barding Paris at a distance of over seventy miles, Thomas W. Harold, Colored, an automobile mechanic at Godwin and Columbia streets, has drawings of a gun offered the govern ment which he claims will carry a shell over ninety miles. “Harold made his drawing in the Cadillac works at Detroit. His plan calls for a tungsten shejl and a pe culiar system of rifling the bore of the gun, which insures absolute rota- j tion as the shell leaves the gun. As seen at the muzzle the gun bore looks somewhat like a Maltese cross. “Harold claims that with his gun j Havana, Cuba, could be bombarded from Key West, distant ninety-five miles away. The plans he submitted to the government were refused, but Harold believes that the German gun embodies some of his principles, if not j l is gun, too.” I * * * This paper has enlisted with the government in the cause of America for the period of the war. EOITORIALJISCELLMM 'The purchasing of Liberty Bonds Is a patriotic duty und should represent savings and the ability to invest. They should not lie offered for tile satisfac tion of obligations unless absolutely necessary. Let us have no frenzy in pincing the coming Liberty Loan. Let us not sell an individual beyond his means. Let us have no come bucks which will cause embarrassment. The National Committee of Patri otic Societies, Washington, D. C., is offering a $50 Liberty Bond for a prize essay on "There should be a bond in every home." This contest is open to high schools which put on a campaign for the sule of Liberty Bonds. The slogan of the coming Liberty Loan campnlgn is “Your share is fair.” Every man who buys a third Lib erty Bond wants to do ids part, but he does not want to make good the deficiency of a financial slacker. The National Credit Men’s Associa tion advises strongly against the ac ceptance of Liberty Loan bonds for the payment of obligations and offer ing them on the open market. The millionaires of America might purchase from their available cash one billion dollars worth of Liberty Bonds, but nobody but the American people as a great body can float the coming Liberty Loan. Back of the 250 billion dollars of our national resources stands the rugged honesty of America. Liberty Loan bonds are the safest security in the world. It is for the people to lend their Government the amount of money It needs und tuke as security the best and soundest financial paper thut has ever been issued by any government. If the Government can take our boys, our products, our industries and our railroads, it can take our money; but never let it be said that it wus necessary to conscript wealth to win the war. All honor is due the splendid serv ices of tlie many Liberty Loan work ers in the state of Nebraska who are donating their services to the Gov ernment. They should receive the full co-operutlon of all the people in* tlie performance of the task set be- ' fore them. i Lend Him a Hand Fix)e Hundred Thousand American Soldiers in France We dare not delay the VICTORY now. American lives are at stake, our own safety the safety of the whole world. If we are not to prolong the slaughter and the suffering, if we are not to risk defeat or an inconclusive peace, we must act quickly; ve must put forth our every effort now. The army is doing its part. Five hundred thousand American soldiers are in France today. There will be more tomorrow. And more the day after.' We are going to send an irmy large enough so that when we strike, with our Allies, we can drive the German hordes back across the Rhine —so that we can win the decisive VICTORY that will make American freedom safe, and establish a just and lasting peace. But the whole nation must take part. Our armies in France are looking to us to furnish them in ever greater abundance, the ordnance, the munitions, the supplies that will make their VICTORY possible. We must not fail them. ■■■■■■ m ■ ■ The Third Liberty Loan is our share in 5 : the winning of this war.
