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."

of National Defense day Is finding
little sympathy In Omaha.
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.

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.

Motor Bandits
Terrorize Town
Gang Cuts Phone Wires,
Blows Bank Safe and
Escapes.
Bj International Km Service.
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.
