INVESTIGATE LEAK
OF U. S. NAVY PLANS
Washington Officials at Loss
to Know How Germans
round Ont About
Trip.
-Washington, May 26. Official in
vestigation was under wajr today to
uncover whether the leak on the
sailing of American destroyers to the
war zone was on this side of the At
lantic or whether German spies got
it in Enghnd.
Admiral Sims has positively re
ported that the German admiralty
knew of the departure of the ships and
their port cf arrival four days ahead
of time and had opportunity to mine
their path.
Some navy officials are inclined to
suspect the German spy system in
England, despite the statement of
Secretary Daniels, that the incident
emphasized the fact that the German
spy system still is at work in this
country. It the info mation was sent
from the United States it was made
doubly difficult because it had to pass
the official censorship.
It was stated officially today that
only a few officers in the office of
Admiral Benson, chief of operations,
knew the destination of 'the destroy
ers. The commanders themselves
were Ignorant of the port until they
opened sealed orders probably twelve
hours at sea.

present age and to close them on

Judge Capell's ruling means that
merchants of Council Bluffs will not
be interfered with if they want to
keep their places open today and suc
ceeding Sundays.
In regard to movies Judge Capell
said :
"The picture shows are highly edu
cational, instructive and conductive of
good morals. They engender high
degree of patriotism, provide for the
enlightment, ehtertaiftment and uplift
of men and to close them on Sunday
would deprive the laboring man and
family -of the right to enjoy these
privileges. .

The prevailing Idea ot conservation
and sensible economy la all right, but
there are many Jobs that can be dona
mora economically elsewhere than at
your home.
Take, for instance, in cleaning
work: vou cannot begin to do it as
cheanly in younhome as can Dresner
Brothers in their immense plant at
2211-2217 Farnam atreet. And it'a no
secret that vou cannot do the work
as well as Dresners; you'll admit that,
won't you?
No, Sir! No: Madame! You cannot
touch a job of the sort yourself and
be ahead. Far better stick to your
own vocation and let Dreshers clean,
press, dye, re-model or re-styla your
auita, coats, dreases, etc. Far rather
have Dreshera take your old fe't or
straw hats and clean, block and re
trim them.
And when It comes, to rug, carpet,
curtain, comfort, .blanket or pillow
. 1.. 1 i , u .
Cleaning, you are snupiy nuv m m
race. It will cost you more to "call in
a man" to do this work than to have
nre.hera' exnerta and - Dreshera'
equipment do it for you. If as far as
the calibre of work done, here is proof
that you cannot do it so well as Dresn
ers your old style "beating" doesn't
begin to clean a rug. Just have your
dirtiest rue hand beaten j work at it
ten hours if you like; keep pounding
and pounding; then when you con
sider it clean let Dresners clean it
over. When Dreshera ret through you
will see a pile of dirt, grease, soil,
etc., that came out of the rug, to say
nothing of germs that one cannot see.
Start practicing economy the true
way send your work to Dreshera'
immense plant at 2211-2217 Farnam
atreet. Phone Tvler 34S for a man.
or leave work at the plant, at Dresner
the Tailors, 1615. Farnam St., or at
one of the Dresner branches in the
Rureess-Nash or Brandeis Stores.
Dreshera pay express or parcel post
charges one way On any sized bundle
to any point in America. aov.
