THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1917 3 LOBECK FINDS THIS NATIONPREPARED Congressmen Says The Bee Wins Many New Friends by Its Stand on the War Question. Congressman C. O. Lobeck arrived early this morning from Washington for a brief visit with the home folks, folks. "There is a quiet earnestness spreading over the country in con nection with the war situation." said the congressman in a conversation. "At first we were slow to really ap preciate that we are at war, but now we realize the seriousness of the business. The War and Kaw A. partments at Washington are working at high speed. The nation never be fore in its history has been so busy or so serious. The opposition war has become a negligible quantity. : "I wish to state that I have been reading The Bee closely every day and have noted a marked improve ment during the last six months. The Bee always has been recognized among the congressmen as represent ing the great west, but recently it has taken on a new stride which is in. keeping with the new national events. Its stand on public questions has won many new friends in the na tional capital." v The congressman explained that it is almost imoossible for the average person to understand the stupendous business now before the national gov ernment unless one is in close touch to the center of things and even then any one person cannot grasp it all. He said departments are being organ ized for matters which under normal conditions were but circumstances when compared with the other branches of the government. Expect October to Be Record Recruiting Month Ninety-six men enlisted at the army re cruiting station during- the first three days in October this year. This Is over twice ai many aa were taken In during the first three clays of. September. . "We expert to make October a record month," said Major Frith this morning. "Farm work la slowing up and business af fairs are being wound up at this time, so feel that this will be a big month as far as the army goes." Major Frith has just returned from a trip to western Iowa and says recruiting Is boom ing all over the district. At Mason City, Sioux City and other substations recruiting listing the long lines of men who appearedn dally ia the offices. "For some reason, which we can't fathom, the recruiting business is always the ' same all over the country, no matter whether In a farming or other district." When Nebraska forges ahead with en listments, the same thing is going on all ever the country. There must be some psychological reason about It. September, for Instance, waa a slow month here. But It was the same In the east, as well. On n day In September the whole state of Illinois took In only seventeen men. And la Nebraska, on that date, but twenty-six tnso were enlisted. The latest need of tiie United States navy la for accountants. Men with the rank of yeem&n or higher.

The vast amount of construction being done by the navy calls for men to check up quan tities of lumber and other material. Men with soma office training will be gladly taken la at the navy recruiting station in Omaha.
