.clA Is today the center of
the air mail activities of the
United States, chiefly by the
accident of geographical location.
This city Is the center of the night
flying area, and, that being the
most particular part of the air mall
program, the headquarters of the
air mall service has come to Omaha
largely as a result of this fact.
Omaha has been interested In avi
ation In only a general sort of way.
The time has come when we must
be Interested In It In a definite, con
structive way. The air mail service
Is at the parting of the ways. It
has not yet become a paying serv
ice. Congress will be asked to con
tinue its appropriations for the
i aervlce, but congress may Insist
" that the patronage does not war
rant It. While this objection must
bs overcome, the-e Is another force
at work that is even more a danger
t® the air mall service so far as
Omaha Is concerned. This Is com
petitio . from other cities.
There is at this time an organized
movement to turn the air mall route
to the south in order to avoid fly
ing over the Rockies, over the
Sierra Nevada mountains and the
Coast range. St. Louis and Kansas
City are actively at work building
up arguments in favor of sending
the transcontinental mall south
from D-yton to St. Louis, from
thence to Kansas City and then by
the S' "ii route, avoiding the
mouo" flying and much of the
dlfflcn’.' iccompnn’ lng the present
route. Los AngCt's is working to
this same end.
loeadership in Omaha.
With Omaha are the Interests of
Chicago Salt Lake City, San Fran
cisco and the northwest coast. The
co ope’at'cn of these cities to tiis
support of the present route should
be assured. The had must be taken
by Omaha.
At present there are some BO em
ployes of the air mail service in
Omaha. As the service grows this
number will be Increased and if
Omaha Is alive to the situation
• vory possible aid will be given to
the service in order to make cer
tain that It will grow. In this con
nection it Is well to keep in mind
the fact that the air ma j bureau In
Omaha is the first government bu
reau that has ever been estab
lished us a headquarters bureau
outside the city of Washington.
Next it should be kept In mind that
the present Mg air plane repair sta
tion maintained by the air mail serv
ice at Chicago logically belongs to
Omaha. It was located at Maywood,
outside Chicago, before night flying
had been Inaugurated. Now that
night flying has been proven it suc
cess logic demands that this big
repair station be located at the
% center of night flying—Omaha. The
present equipment of the Maywood
plant Is Inadequate and in the near
future congress w 11 be asked to
make approprlaflons for Its exten
sion. When that time comes the
superior facilities of Omaha should
be brought to the attention of the
Washington lawmakers.
The entire question of the air mail
service should be made the immedi
ate consideration of the Chamber of
Commerce and the greater Omaha
committee. First of all every effort
must ho made to Insure a more con
sistent patronage of the air mail
so that when the matter of ap
propriations comes before congress
the .present gap between expense
and income will be lessened. Second
there must be organized a force
support ng the present air routes
and in opposition to the proposed
southern route. With the growth
of the air mail service the southern
routs will be utilized but it must
not be permitted to become the
basis of a shift from the present
route. Third, Omaha must be alive
to every plan for the extension of
equipment in this c.ty, particularly
the removal here of the repair
plant now located at Maywood.
The record of the air mall serv
ice for the four months, July,
August, Septem'oer and October,
1924, show a totr.l revenue of $210.
Vl-93. The miles flown during the
same period was 650.636 during day
light hours and 190.833 during the
night. Most of the mall has befen
rarried westbound. Pounds of mail
carried were, westbound, 42.039—
©asthound, 37.552. There are 78 air
planes In service and seven of the
fliers live In Omaha.
Since the Armistice money, al
lowed fr r the sir mall venture to
tal less than $10,000,000, while ap
propriation to th© army and navy
for tho same period to he used in
aviation reach th© total of $160,
000.000.
Military Importance.
Not only have the business in
terests of the country urged and
supported a comprehensive air mall
e-rvico, but the military authorities
have given it enthusiastic support
as a peace time nucleus which the
country would need seriously In the
{p ent of war.
There are three reasons why the
business men of Omaha should Im
mediately increase and continue to
Increase their patronage of the day
and night air mall service.
The first is that to use this serv
ice Is to contribute Immediately to
the welfare of business. The air
mail has reduced the communica
tion map of the I’nited States to
one-third its former size. It hafc
/placed at our disposal transporta
tion at 100 miles per hour. It haa
enabled u» to transmit' documents
and things at this great epeed.
The alp mall service is a "belt."
Tlie line operates between New
York and Ran Francisco, the head
quarters of which are located in
this city. Through increasingly ex
pert co-ordination with the local
postoffices and the railway mall
service, we may expedite oorre
sponrtence with cities 300 to 500
miles north and south of the artual
line of flight.
I p to Omaha.
The second reason for getting be
hind the air mall Is civic. A busi
ness that Is not patronized In one
community either wither* away or
A few doses of PE-RU-NA by way
of precaution.
For more than half a century, to
meet just such emergencies, PE-RU
NA has been the standby in thousands
of homes.
Time has proved the reliability of
this well known medicine for coughs,
* colds, catarrh, stomach and bowel
troubles, and every catarrhal condition.
Your parents and grandparents de
pended on PE-RU-NA and found it
good.

moves where it finds appreciation.
The air mall service will not wither
away. But whether Omaha con
tinues to enjoy it upon an advanc
ing scale of efficiency depends
upon Omaha and upon Omaha
aiore.
The third reason is sufficient In
itself. It should be Impelling, even
in the absence of the other two. It
is patriotism. The Kound-the
World flight appealed to our imag
ination. The air mail should ap
peal to our business patriotism even
more. Hero is a pioneer business
service, the foundation of a new'
epoch, the opening of a new phase
in world tra importation.
It is well for us at this time to
absorb the Inspirations of the poet
. y T. W. M'CLLLOL'GH.
OMAHA and the army have al
ways been on friendly terms.
Long before there was any set
tlement here, the army knew about
the site, and when the city was start
ed the army waa In at the birth.
Soldiers were moving up and down
the river, called htther and thither
by exigencies of the Indian pervice,
by exploration enterprises, and for
various reasons. Omaha waa soon
known as an excellent point—for
starteg'c and other reasons—for the
centralization of command. During
the Civil war and the trophies with
the Indian* that followed this realiza
tion crystallized Into the establish
ment of headquarters that hove been
at various times regimental, divis
ional, departmental, and now the
center of an army corps area.
Much might ha written on this
topic alone, of the generals who have
commanded here, Sheridan, Crook,
Brooke, Copplnger, FitzJIugh Lee,
and so on down to Duncan, who now
directs the Seventh Corps area from
the old Army building. However, this
1* written about the amateur sol
diers. Some other time for the
professional*. It wa* only natural
'hat Omaha should have a military
spirit, and one of tho very first
organisations founded In the new
horn community hack in 1SF>6 wa* a
militia company. Thl* swelled Into
a regiment during an Indian scare
not long before the rebellion broke
cut. and after that Into the First Ne
braska, which won fame at Shiloh,
Corinth and Vlck-burg.
GUARDS' BALL
SOCIAL EVENT.
Militia companies followed, one
after another, until the "Dump Riot,”
beck |n the 70s, was attended by such
tragic event* as gave a setback to
the militia. Then late In the 80s
came the golden era of the military.
It began with the Omaha Guards
and the Creighton Rifles. The latter
pnss»d awsy about 1890, but the
Guard* remained. They were the
pride of Omaha. Th»lr armory,
across Capitol * venue from Trinity
cathedral, wn* the s-ene of many de
lightful serial functions, and the
"hid" to the annual hell there was
an honor much sought and highly
prized.
In June, 1892, Omaha entertained
the National Guard Champion Drill
association. Thin wa* made up of
crack Guard companies throughout
the hind. Among the famous organUa
tlons that sttended the meeting In
Omaha, some dating hack to the Mrxt
can war, were the Chickasaw Guards.
Memphis; Fletcher Light Guards and
McCarthy Rtfb-*, Little Hock: Fealey
Rifles, Galveston: Belknap Rifles, Sun
Antonio; National Fenclblc*. Wash
ington; Floyd Rifles, Mscon, (la.;
Branch Guards, St Louis; Walsh
Zouaves, St. Louis; Hole Zouaves,
Kansas City: Chaffs* Light Artillery,
Denver: Indianapolis Light Artillery.
Indianapolis; Cincinnati Light Artll
lery. Cincinnati, and the Chicago
Zouaves. Of four**, the Omaha
Guard* were tn attendance, hut se
host*, not a* participant* In the com
petition. A battalion of cadets from
th* University of Nebraska waa
here under command of Lieut. John
J. Pershing, TT. F. A., Sixth cavalry.
Captain Sheldon, who commanded the
oompany of cudets that pul on a drill In
competition, later on commanded a
company In the Third Nebraska in
fantry, of which William Jennings
Bryan was the colonel. Captain
Sheldon later hecame governor of Ne
braska. Lieutenant Pershing, It might
be said, also attained considerable
prominence In after life
ARTISTIC SUCCESS.
FINANCIAL FAILURE.
Capt. H. B. Mulford of the Omaha
Guard* wag given a temporary com
mission as colonel, that he might com
m.tnd the camp, which was on the old
fair grounds, row occuplsd by hand
some little homes. Prills presented
were wonderful, almost the perfec
tion of the art. First honors for In
fantry- went to the Washington Fenet
hles, commanded by C. S. Domer. The
Hale Zouaves. commanded by Capt.
Cusll Lechtman, gave a marvelous
exhibition, and swept away first In
their class with ease. And Captain
Curtis and his Indianapolis gunners
presented a show that never has been
excelled In Omaha. They handled the
old muzzle-loading ISround brass
cannon as If they were toys, with
precision and grace. They had s final
marking of 9!>, or within a single
point of perfection. The Omeh.i
Guards Gatling gun section also put
on a snappy show.
The sed f tura of the affair was
that If did not take In enough at the
gate to pay expenses, and the pro
motors had to pocket a heavy lose.
Out of If sprung the real and ever
lasting glory of military achievement
for Omaha. A flambeaux club was or
ganized In the Fifth ward to march
In ths Harrison parades of the cant
palgn. It did so well that after the
campaign the boys wanted to hold
together, and so were mustered Into
the National Guard ne Company I. of
the First Nebraska Infantry. The
Omaha Guards were oompany O of
the Second regiment. As the Thur«fi>n
Rlflea, the new company was deatlned
to win teal fame. W. H Scharff was
cnptaln; W. J. Fo.ve, first liBUb-nant;
John Hayward, second lieutenant:
William Ftockham, first rergennt: Id»e
Forhy, second sergeant; Wallace
(Buck> Taylor, quartermaster sergeant
and Ilev. S. Wright Butler, chaplain
Scharff was a wonderful drlllmaster.
So well did b* work that In a year he
made the company the must perfect
and complete champion ths national
aaaoclatlon ever knew.

"For I dip't into the fulure, far

Saw the heavens fill with

Pilots of the purple twilight,

The headquarters of the air mail
service is now in Omaha. By our
works let us keep it here. Let ua
do our part to help it grow. Omaha
as our air mail center will grow
with It.
