The Fifth cavalry ha been called as

chief on his retreat south, may stait
sjdden raids in Peishir.g's rear and
leave American forces isolated in a
region admittedly pro-Villa in senti
ment. N.t until yesterday did auto truck
companies muster full strength in the
vital task of rushing forward sup
plies. The delay was due to the fail
ure of certain needed parts to arrive.
The entire burden of carrying sup

ALLIES PLAN
A TRADE WAR
ON GERMANY
Will Attempt to Reduce Value of Her
Resources By Shutting Off the
World's Markets.
BUT WON'T "BLEED" ENEMY
London, March 22. The allies, at a
coming conference in Paris, will at
tempt to reduce Germany's power of
lesistance by diminishing the value of
her material resources, and prevent
ing her from adding to her wealth
abroad, said President Walter Runci
man of the British board of trade to
day. The cities also will resist Germany
after the war, he said, wherever she
attempts to secure political dominance
in foreign countries by commercial
means.
Germany must hi made to realize,
Runciman continued, that the longer
the war lasts the less will be her
chance of recoupment from the prof
its of foreign markets.
"No nation enriches itself on an
other's poverty, and Bismarck's policy
of bleeding your enemy, as he bled
France in 1871, is good neither for in
dividual nations ncr for Europe as a
whola," said Runciman.
"Great Britain has at all times dis
couraged government assistance or di
rection of commerce. We have com
peted against ourselves as much as
against foreigners.
Fair in Competition With U. S.
"Our competition with America will
be that of honest merchants. We will
always be ready to make friendly en
gagements with the United States in
the interests of peaceful commercial
development.
"In preparation for peace, we are
making plans for renewed internal
organization and external activity.
This will be done along lines every
neutral will regard as friendly.
British Labor More Efficient.
"The efficiency of the British work
ing, man has been raised during the
war. The possibilities of increased
output have been explored and expe
i ienced.
"With an immense fund of labor
set free at demobilization, we count
cn renewed activity in every impor
tant trade. The potentialities of
woman labor are now being tested.
"We do not expect much labor trou
ble after the war. Those who speak
for organized labor know that only by
complete co-operation of all classes
will it be possible for us to recuper
ate from the industrial and financial
exhaustion of this war."

THE HOME MERCHANT.
The home merchant. Who is he?
lie is the chap who meets and greets
when you are financially broke, and
carries your account until you are able
to pay
He is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges when
you are not satisfied with what you
have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind
his guaranty, and makes restoration of
all losses that you may sustain on the
goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you at
the door with a handshake, and lets
you out with a message to the
and a real come-again bood-buy
He is the chap who metts and greets
you on the street every day in the year
and takes a neighborly interest in your
familv and vour affairs
iie is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employes live

;n Plattsmouth and spend their money
with you and with other Plattsmouth

He is the chap who pays heavy taxes
to help support Plattsmouth's schools
and build Plattsmouth's streets and
maintain the good looks and prosper

He is the chap who visits you when

He is your home merchant your

Don't you think you ought to trade
with him, and be his friend and helper

Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of Plattsmouth for
merchandise, is sent to strangers
to men who never spend a dollar in
Plattsmouth, to men who would not
trust you for a box of matches, to
men who would turn you over to the
police if you should enter their of

You don't save much, frequently
nothing, when you send your money
out of Plattsmouth, and you take all
the risk yourself, and you take all
measure and of getting damaged
or inferior goods. Possibly if you and
everybody else in Plattsmouth should
trade at home, the home merchant
might afford to sell as cheaply as do
the big stores in the big cities.
And don't you know that the growth
