JULY 23. 1922. War Department Will Stage Bier Publicity Drive ProMem of Military Prrparfd ncs to B Placed Rr fore PuMic ly Army and Navy. By HARRY L. ROGERS. Washington. P. I'., July 29. With the zero hour already et, the Amer ican army n preparing to go over the top. There ha heeit on declaration of war by conro. but the Harding administration hat approved the campaign the War department has embarked upon, and Secretary i Weeks is determined to "carry on" " till the enemy hoiiti the white flag of defeat. Casualties there may be in this newc.n war, but fatalities are un likely., for the attackers will emnlov not rifles nor machine guns, but pub blicity; not shrapnel or high ex plosives, but facts. The opening guns already have been fired. Analysis of recent ad dresses by Secretary Weeks, As sistant Secretary Wainwright. Gen eral Fershing and other administra tion officials closely identified with the military branches of the govern ment, leave no doubt as to their con viction that grave dangers menace our institutions. Their utterances indicate unmistakably they have seen the necessity of placing the problem of military preparedness frankly be fore the people in a new and more comprehensive light than ever before has been attempted in time of peace. Unrest Threatens Government. In the unrest following the war Secretary Weeks and General Persh ing ,see what they believe to be a danger not to the army alone, but to American governmental institutions generally, and Secretary VVainwright in his most recent public utterances is even more outspoken. "In some ways these times are as critical for the future of our re public as those of 1917 and 1918," he declared, speaking for the administra tion. "We have our enemies, al though they do not wear a dis tinctive uniform. They attack from within instead of without." Innumerable "isms" have sprung up throughout the country since the great war, Wainwright believes, which have as an objective the de struction of Americanism, "to which we owe all that we possess as a nation." "Groups of peoples and classes are organizing for every kind of purpose except a patriotic and national one," he continued. "Insidious propaganda is being directed against all the fundamentals of our government. The most pernicious of all are those who are striving to substitute interna tionalism for nationalism. They would destroy from within what no i enemy has ever been able to do irom without our ideals of government, i Solid Carload of Tires Shipped by Omaha Firm " t ArV 4 demanded any such reduction as was ornercd. The average voter, Weeks holds and even the average member of congress, cannot understand the highly technical questions involved in the peace-time organization of an army without snccial attention to the subject. The only men who do know, tor instance, what happened in France from a technical Doint of view and why American losses were heavy in one action and comparatively light in another are the army officers who have made these matters their life study. It was for this reason that Mr. Weeks directed the ban on pub lie discussion of technical military questions by army officers be raised and that the trained military men be encouraged to explain to the public what the army and the War depart ment is all about. The secretary now is carrying his program a step further and himself undertaking this public explanation with the aid of the highest officers of the army, and looks upon this work as in no sense a militaristic propaganda, but a simple question of popular education in the A B C's of national defense. s This carload of Sprague tires, I Tacoma Grocery company, Ta-& vaiuca at more than $,'B,wu, was eoma( yVash., one of the local firm's RubTe? clptVmahl'ToS "" cific coast. New Machine Will Charge Battery in 8 to 10 Hours To comoletelv and properly charge an automobile battery .in eight to 10 hours would have been considered an impractical and practically im possible procedure six months ago.

"Th pacifists, who were silent during the war and missing from the ranks of our defenders, would de stroy our instruments of defense the army and navy and render us a weakling among the nations with out influence or prestige in the world's affairs. These internation alists and pacifists, working together and in most instances the same peo ple are even trying to induce our youths to foreswear allegiance to our flag and refuse to defend it." These views are in effect those of accomplish this. The machine will charge a battery in from eight to 10 hours without injury to the battery. Tourists no longer will be compelled to lay over in a town for four days on account of a dead battery, and the people of Omaha can have one-day battery charging service without fear of in jury to their battery when the pro duction of the factories ot the manu facturers of this machine becomes large enough to allow them to ship to Omaha battery companies. During the last few weeks word has been received at the Boys' divi sion ot many who are away for the summer. Letters coming this week were from: Leonard and Harry Oamble are making an extended auto tour through the western states. They have reached Riverside, Cal., where they will go to school this winter. Ferry seely is on a farm near Lor- X 1 1 1 t 1 ciio, ieo., raising garden ana cmcK ens. He says he has a pony to ride, a gun to shoot, a Ford to rattle, beans to hoe, but no place to swim. He also has 400 chickens to care for. Jack Crary and Phil Price went on a week's fishing trip to the Elkhorn. Kobert Weller, George Higgins and Earl Christensen are out on the farm. Matt and Will Wigton are spend ing their vacation in a small town west of Columbus, Neb. C. Carl Weigle, with three friends, made an auto trip to Estes Park, Colo., in Carl's new flivver. They started last Saturday before daylight and arrived two davs later. Lyle Pritchard, Kansas City's "Y" ping-pong star, is spending the sum mer in Omaha and is in the boys' division keeping in practice every day. Micklewright Having Pleasant Vacation "Y" Boys Everyone Should Know About Paul Carter has been a member of the "Y" just about one year and has made a place for himself in the many activities in the boys' division. In gym work he has made a great development, and in all sports in their season. In the spring Hcx- athlon meet, Taul made the highest record in class C for his age. In his school athletics at Miller Park school he has been very active. At camp this summer Paul was a member of the famous Sioux cot tage. He was an honor boy and won other camp honors aside from the honor pin. , Paul is always willing to help about the Boys' division wherever he can be of service. During the sum mer his favorite sport has become swimming and diving. During the last season Paul was regular in his attendance at classes and Bible study. Oddities Among the Names of "Y" Boys Watermellon Feed To Be Big Feature t those ot -ccr . f, r- Secretary Weeks, General Pershing' v.uPj and in fact all those connected with the national defense branch of the administration. Feeling thus, these high officials have embarked upon a campaign of education in American ism that is, an explanation of Ameri can forms of government, the dangers which menace them and the relation of the army and navy to American institutions. They believe the public does not realize the two military services have a distinct place in American po litical economy and are attempting a new type of national preparedness campaign designed to educate the public to such a realization. Says Publicity Is Necessary. The process of arousing public at tention to these purely public ques tions is of necessity, Mr. Weeks be lieves, a long one, and the year that will elapse before the size of the army again becomes a current po litical issue will no more than suffice to lay the groundwork of understand ing. Weeks and his assistants make no secret of their feelings that drastic cuts in the army establishment by congress this year have seriously menaced the success of the military policy enacted by congress in 1920. They do not believe public sentiment All Set in New Home The Western Motor Car company, local distributor for Wills Sainte Claire and Gardner motor cars, now is in its new home at Twenty-sixth and Harney streets.

WESTERN MOTOR CAR CO. Ob Haroer at 26tD WILLS SAINTE CEAIRB M?tor Cars It is difficult for the Cadillac owner to convey even a tithe of the gratification he finds in his car. His enjoyment is derived from so many ad mirable features. It springs not merely from his car's beauty, nor from its comfort nor its lightness of movement, grateful and wonderful as these charac teristics are to him. It proceeds from something even more than the de pendability, the power, the swift acceleration or the basic economy of hit Cadillac. Rather, his satisfaction is a blend and a combination of all of these attributes, result ing in a pleasure and a con tentment in his purchase too deep and lasting for comparison. And added to it, and perfect ing it, is the consciousness that he possesses the automo bile that the world accepts as -the standard of excellence. J. H. HANSEN CADILLAC CO.
