? PERSUING IN BIG
DEMONSTRATION
JCity and Elks Will Combine in
r Parade and Mass Meeting
?r to Celebrate Birthday ;
L of U. S. General.
V A grand parade and a big mass
meeting on the court house square
will be Omaha's wayof celebrating
the birthday of Gen. John J. Persh
ing on Friday, September 13.
;.Thii was decided Wednesday by
Jt committee which was, appointed at
1 joint meeting of the Public Affairs
fpmmittee and officials of the Cham
er of Commerce. The committee
consists of three men: Col. J. M.
Bannister, chairman; Randall K.
rown and John T. Yates. -i".
These met with. Commissioner
Manley of the Chamber of Com
merce at the Omah,a club Wednes
day afternoon and decided on the
method of celebration.
Exercises in Evening.
The parade and meeting will be in
the evening, because during war time
the holding of a half-holiday even on
Pershing's birthday would not be
wise. The parade has not yet been
fully arranged, but-it will be both
civic and military. Several bands will
play and the home guards and the
high school and Creighton university
cadets will probably march. Red
Cross "women and other service or
ganizations are to be in line. , The
big feature will be a float showing
Pershing's colossal birthday cake, il
luminated by 58 candles.
Ends at Court House.
The parade will end at 'the court
house at about 8:30 o clock and then
the; exercises will begin. There is
to be an eminent orator who has not
yet been chosen. There will also be
a choir of several hundred voices to
lead the singing of patriotic songs.
The Omaha Elks are to have a
1ar nart hnth in the Dftfade and the
exercises. The big celebration is to
be joined with one wmch tni uroer
had already partly planned. ,..
If ths weather should be inclement
the exercises will take place in the
rotunda of the court house.

effectively than an offering of three

U. S. TAKES OVER
GERMAN OWNED
STEAMSHIP LINE
Government Deceived for
Three Years as to Real
': Ownership, of Trans
atlantic Company.
New York, Sept. 4. On the ground
of German ownership, the American
Trans-Atlantic company, which until
its ships were commandeered by the
shipping board last October, operated
a fleet of 11 steamships flying the
Stars and Stripes, has been taken
over by the alien property custo
dian. Richard G. Wagner, the American-born
head of the concern, for
three years deceived the American
government "with truly Prussian ar
rogance," according to Francis P.
Garvan, investigator for the custo
dian. Mr. Garvan said Wagner de-
ceived British and French prize
courts for three years as to the real
ownership of the property.
Mr. Garvan, who made public a
summary of Wagner's activities, said
the ships were bought with German
gold and the company was organized
eight months after the outbreak of
hostilities with funds which Count
von Bernstorff caused to be trans
mitted here for Wagner's benefit.
Wagner, under the examination of
Mr. Garvan, protested the -ships were
American owned, but finally confessed
that the backing of this venture to
keep German commerce on the high
seas came from German shipping in
terests. Always Under Suspicion.
Suspicions were entertained by this
government from the time that Wag
ner sought to have his 11 ships, then
flying neutral flags, transferred to
American registry. At the time the
ships of the company were com
mandeered by the shipping board as
were other ships flying the American
flag, the Navy department, -it is
known, refused to deliver to the
commanders confidential instructions
and other naval secrets because they
were not American citizens. The
American Trans-Atlantic company de
clined to remove the commanders and
the Navy department, it is said, was
obliged to place a naval officer aboard
each, ship from whom the alien skip
per received his sailing directions.
Wagner's ships were reported at
various times to have been supplying
German raiders with provisions and
to have conveyed German gold from
the United States for use in South
America, but these charges Wagner
denied, always protesting his Ameri
canism. In citing these reports, Mr.
Garvan recalled that Wagner had
published a half-page advertisement
offering a reward of $50,000 to any
one who could produce evidence that
his ships had been supplying Ger
man raiders and at another time of
fered. $10,000 to any one who would
prove the American Trans-Atlantic
company was Cerman-owned.
Sought to Arouse Ill-Feeling.
Three of Wagner's ships were
seized by the British and one by the
French during 1915 and in the prize
courts testimony indicating German
backing for the American Trans-Atlantic
company was aired.
'These seizures," said Mr. Garvan,
"were made the basis of a master ef
fort of Bermstorff's German propa
gandists in the United States. Resort
was had to every device to arouse
hatred and ill-feeling in this country
against Great Britain. Under the
direction of von Bernstorff, the agi
tation assumed nationwide propor
tions. Wagner insisted the ships were
purchased with American money and
claimed that the American investors
in the company were entitled to pro
tection and left nothing undone to
take advantage of this agitation
against the British."
Wagner, coming on from Milwau
kee, where he was born under the
name of Wagenknecht, 56 years ago,
the son of a German father, went
to Germany in December, 1914, and
visited Hugo Stinnes, the wealthy
German shipowner and coal opera
tor. Then he went to Copenhagen,1
where he saw Albert Jensen, his
cousin, manager of a coal concern
owned by Stinnes. He made arrange
ment with Jensen to purchase a fleet
of neutral merchant vessels, Jenseri
to provide the money and Wagner
to return to America and have them
placed under the American registry
through an American company which
he would organize. While in Ger
many he tried to buy an uncom
pleted tank steamer and induced Am
bassador Gerard to cable the United
States commissioner of navigation as
to his attitude toward placing the
ship under American registry.

What is a Branch
House?
The Branch House is the place in the'packing organ
ization where what the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it
Both are the natural result of growth and development in the
living thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch houses are located in distributing
centers all over the country. They are fitted out with refrigerating
equipment to keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a man who believes in what
Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it
They are directed by men who have spent years learning how
to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct from the packing
plants in Swift & Company's refrigerator cars, in such quantities
that it can be disposed of while fresh and sweet
Yoar meat dealer, comes here to buy your meat for yoa-'
unless someone else can treat him better than we can.
So you need the branch house in order to live well; and the
branch house and the packing plant need each other, in order to be
useful to you ' , '-
