War Department Raps Bryan Stand on Mobilization • tk. r Has Drawn Unwarranted In ! ferences, Says Statement; Omahans Criticize Governor. (Continued from Pace One.> the international situation is per fectly calm, because It Is In Just dur ing euch periods of calm that normal measures can be taken without alarming anyone else. To postpone preparation for military operations until an international crisis arises Is the poorest possible service to the capae of peace, for it Is then that the. normal military precautions are misinterpreted. "the governor further states that the ‘defense test' may mislead and alarm other people. The War depart ment has kept careful track of for eign public opinion through the re port* of military attaches and finds no evidence to support the governor’s statement. It is difficult to see how any country which maintains com pulsory military service and holds partial mobilizations annually could possibly be alarmed by the ‘defense act.' "To sum up, the statements of the goyornor of Nebraska Indicate that b* baa drawn rather extraordinary inferences from what seems to be a perfectly clear document. While It is desirable that all prominent citizens openly eupport the ‘defense act,' the action of the governor In ordering the assembly of the national guard organizations under his control on September 12 and in appointing local committees, will enable the depart ment to carry out its plan in the state of Nebraska completely.” Lincoln, July 29. — Democrats swarmed around Governor Bryan here today criticising his action S)f yesterday In attacking the Sept. 12 preparedness program and In so do ing criticising a plank in the demo cratic platform which calls fqr pre paredness as, long as no international agreement exists. ‘‘I refuse to discuss national issues until after my official notification,” the governor said when pressed for a statement as to whether he dis agreed with the preparedness plank of his own party. Governor Again Talks. The governor hesitated a moment. "The program prepared for Septem ber 12 Is not for preparedness," he said. “It calls for mobilization of our industrial resourcea It is a war like measure. It calls for closing our schools, our factories and turning a peaceful social organization into a war machine. "Preparedness to my mind is the keeping of our military forces up to the minute in efficiency. It is not stopping the work of a nation. Some one should remain on the Job and work on that day. "My idea of what should transpire on September 12 Is exactly In aocord with that expressed by President Coolidge. My criticism is of the mili taristic forces and their attempt to make the American people warlike." Opposition of Gov.

That Bryan haa again gone ofl “half cocked’’ and is fighting wind mills even less material than those of Don Quixote fame was the general consensus of opinion here. A high official of the Chamber ol Commerce, who has strong demo cratic leaning, characterised Bryan’i criticism of Defense Day plans as a "prize bonehead” and predicted thai one or two more similar moves or his part will assure his defeat in the race for the vice presidency. Peaceful Move. Ford E. Hovey, chairman of th< executive committee, did not hesitate to declare himself greatly in favoi of a patriotic observance of the day declaring that he regarded it purely as an inventory of the nation’s man power, and a peaceful, rather than a warlike move. Gen. George B. Duncan, command er of the Seventh corps army area stated he has as yet received no word from Governor Bryan. “I did not write the governor re garding the matter, said General Duncan, “and I have received no word from him, so I would hesitate to comment too Btrongly on 'the mat ter. Much criticism against the De fense or Mobilization day plan is due to the fact that it is not understood. It is Interesting to note, however, that the section of the democratic platform touching on war and na tional defense is in perfect harmony with the Defense day plans.’’ That Bryan is laboring under a misconception of tho plana for the day is Indicated by General Dun can’s explanation of them. He was asked what would be expected of the average civilian, and replied that the civilians desiring to do so could march with organizations to which they belong in the Defense day parade.

F.W. Thorne Co. Burgess Bedtime Stories y — j By THORNTON W. BURGESS. For everything there la aome use; E'en squirrels’ tails have their excuse. —Old Mother Nature. The Importance of Tails. The four baby Squirrels had held their breath as they had watched their mother make a flying Jump from the branch of one tree to the branch of another tree, and then re turn the same way. When they looked down at the ground It made them shiver to think what a fall she would have had if she had missed her Jump. But when she said that It was because of her big tall that she was able to make that long jump, the four little Happy Jacks were puzzled. "I don’t se what your tall had to do with It." said the boldest on*. ‘‘Don’t you?" replied Mrs. Happy Jack. “You come with me.” She led the four down the tree to the ground and up on an old log. Close to If wa« another old log. She Jumped across from one to the other. "Now you jump across," said she. The four little squirrels jumped. They carried their tails straight out st rr\ n fc Site jumped across from one to the other. behind them. "Now we'll Jump back," said their mother. “And I want you each to keep your tails over your back when you Jump.” She jumped across, but she didn't keep her tall over her back. She didn’t try to. '"Now remember what I told you about your tails." said she, and waited for the first one to Jump. He Jumped, but the Instant he left that log he straightened his tall out behind him. It was the same with each of the others. "J thought I told you to keep your tails over your hacks when you Jumped,” said she, severely. The four little Squirrels hung their heads. "I couldn't. I Just couldn’t," said one. "The instant I jumped my tall straightened out behind me In spite of myself.” Each of the others raid the same thing. Mrs. Happy Jack’s eyes twinkled. “Just so." said she. "Just so. That Is what your tails are for. If one of you had managed to keep his tall over hla back he probably would have had a fall. Those tails are to keep your balance In the air. A squirrel who loses his tail will not live very long. He will not be sble to make flying Jumps In the tree-tops, and there will be many times when you will have to make flying jumps to get away from an enemy. A squirrel who loses part of his tall Is not likely to live as long as one who keeps a whole tall." "Would It have killed you If you had fallen when you Jumped from that high up branch across to the other tree?” asked one of the young sters. “So," replied Mrs. Happy Jack. "I would have spread my legs out as far as possible, and then that big tall of mine would have kept me right side up and at the same time it would have helped to keep me from coming down as fast a a If I had had no tail. A lot of our neighbors think we squirrels are vain because we take so much care of our tails. We are not vain. A handsome ttU Is worth hav ing, but not for beauty alone. The better the tail the better off that squirrel le. Never forget this, end always take care of your tails.” ‘‘Ycs'm,” replied the four little squirrels together. (Copyrtsht. 1934.)

Minneapolis, Minn., July 29.—A bandit army moving In a fleet of mo tor care, surrounded Dover, Minn., near St. Charles, early today, blew the safe In the First State bank, terrorized the town for nearly two hours and made off with only a few hundred dollars In loot when one of their number was Injured by a pre mature blast which failed to open the Inner vault. Two women entered the bank with the safe blowers and are believed to have assisted In the bungled job of cracking the strongbox. Lieut. Ueorge Hllistrom of the Minneapolis police commanded a gun squad which started In the direction of Dover this morning to head off the bandit party. At the time his car left, it was not known that more than a score of bandits participated In the holdup and the police squad faces the probability of being out numbered and out fought should It en counter the army. Three or four hundred persons liv ing In Dover were aroused by the exploaiuu cf the charge which wrecked the outer doors of the safe and left the floor stained with the blood of one of the robbers. H. Tubbs, depot agent at Dover, stepped out of the front door of his house with a revolver in his hand to Investigate the explosion. He was met with a fusillade of shots. Citizens who went to the telephone to call St. Charles and give the alarm discovered that all lines had been cut and Tubbs going to his telephone key at the depot later, found that even the telegraph wires had bsen severed Telephone operators were still un able to call Dover today and further details of the robbery were not learned, except that a trail of blood led from the safe to the street.
