THE BEE! OMAHA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1918. SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM OPENS WORLD'S EYES Allies Are Astounded at Great ; possibilties Here and See ; That ITS. Will l: - Stick. t , Philadelphia, Sept 16. America's 'vast shipbuilding k program has opened the eyes of the world to her tremendous possibilities, re cently declared Peter 0. Knight, vice-president and general counsel of the American International Ship building Corporation, which oper ates the big plant at Hog Island. "It is the best possible evidence .that we intend to stick," he said. She Japanese visitors counted the ; ways, one by one and exclamed: 'Why we have only ten more ways in our whole country than you have ia this one yard.' And Lord Read ies of England declared that it typified the limitlessness of America. '. "Others ask how we can do such things, and they learn that at the beginning of the war the wealth of the United States was $250,000,000, 'compared with $85,000,000,000 as the wealth of Great Britain, $80,000., 000,000 for Germany and $55,000, 000,000 for France. "We have half the total banking ; resources of the world. Since -the ij.war began we have bought back i $4,000,000,000 of securities, loaned , $7,000,000,000 -to allies and extended credit to allies and business con ; oerns to the amount of $7,000,000,000 i ore. We have carried on the en ) larged business of the country and ; a war costing us $50,000,000 a day. , "And America's wealth has in- creasea since August, jvh. it has one-fourth of the commerce of the lobe and has accumulated a third i, af the gold supply of the world. "So great is the nation's wealth ! that even this war cannot deplete it. Informed "Germans or citizens of pother nations cannot think Ger many can win with America against .her." l . ' "lllWJII nil'. Embargo on Grain . ' Shipments to Omaha , i Effective Sept. 18 Chicago, Sept. 16. Grain is pil ing up at western terminal markets so rapidly that directors of the rail ,! way admistration today issued an jj, embargo notice against further ship- menta of grain to several points ettective September 18. The order in .part reads: , "Effective September 18, because of rapid approach to limit of grain storage it becomes necessary to em place embaro against all shipments - of all grain consigned or recon signed to Duluth,, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Peoria, Kansas City, St. Louis, Joseph,: Omaha, Council Bluffs, fcal tnsthki and Chicago, and to resr- inareiaYuii-jhipments of gram to these markets permit basis, such permits to be issued! jrr 'co-operation with the food admistration. Applica tion may be made by shipper or . agent at point of origin. "Such requests transmitted to des ignated grain control committee of each market, which will approve such requests as can be given stor age, notifying the agent at the point of origin that shipment may be made accordingly." i Haney in Capital Washington, Sept. 16. (Special Telegram.) G. R. Dutton, general manager of H. Haney company . of , Hastings, is in Washington on ; matters-before the priorities com ; mittee of the National Council for 'Defense. ' ofiui::a hot A SCIENCE Just Plain Business Sense Slaking our small savings work for as as in buying war savings stamps or liberty bonds-the trou ble with the great majority of people Is that when they make up their minds to save they are not content to (do as most success- ful people for ages past have done) look after the little things, they want to save it in goodly hunks, and the goodly hunks that most people can manage to spaWat one time are so few and far between, that .they soon be come discouraged .and give it up as a hopeless task "Take care of the little thines 8 the big things will take care of l! themselves", is a Saying, the truth of which has been so often r proven that it is generally ac ATta,l ' .. - ,..'.v irs to ineTeome wnovruiiy ap preciate the truth of thrs saying that the cash system ofbuying most strongly appeals. N Many years ago we adopted this rule of looking after the lit tle things in our business 2 per cent, 5 per cent, 10 per cent applied to cash discounts seemed snWl on a single pur chase, but the cumulative result of anplying the .cash discount system to all our purchases soon convinced Us that it meant a big thing, both as applied to in creased profits for ourselves or to increased values in merchan dise to our customers. 1 f In other words by -taking ad vantage of the cash discounts we could afford to give our patrons just that much better quality goods at any given price than the merchant who bought on time. Result, increased public confi dence evidenced by a rapidly growing clientele - and at every turn we found stronger and stronger evidences that cash buy ing paid.' We know you'll find it 80; i : HAYDEN BROTHERS AMERICA STANDS OH TERMS NOW MADE (Continued fram Pae Om.) ident Wilson's Fourth of July speech at Mount Vernon, as follows: "1 The destruction of every ar bitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of . the world; or, if it, cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotence. "2 The settlement of . every question, whether of territory, of sovereign, of economic arrangement of political relationship, upon the b?sis of the free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediate ly concerned and not upon the basis of the material interest or advantage of any other nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or mastery. "3 The consent of all nations to be governed in their conduct toward each other by the same principles of honor and of respect for the com mon law of civilized society that govern the individual citizens of all modern states in their relations with one another; to the end that all promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracy hatched, no selfish in juries wrought with impunity and a mutual trust established upon the handsome foundation of a mutual respect for right. For Peace and Justice. "4 The establishment of an or ganization of peace which shall make it certain that the combined power of free nations will check every invasion of right and serve to make peace and justice the more se cure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which all must submit and by which every international readjustment that cannot be ami cably agreed upon by the peoples di rectly concerned shall be sanc tioned." There is some speculation in offi cial circles as to what will be the next step in what is recognized as the great Germanic peace view. Generally, it is believed that the German and Austrian military lead ers will point to the American reply as an evidence that they .have done everything! possible to bring about peace and thus try to evidence that they have done everything possible to bring about peace and thus try to strengthen their people for another winter campaign. But another view is that owing to the intolerable conditions in Austria-Hungary there is more than a possibility of a breakng up of the quadruple alliance; that Austria having gone through tha form of making a peace proposal which was promptly rejected, has thus cleared the way for its next step an un conditional surrender on the terms laid down by President Wilson. BOOTLEG CHIEF HELD HERE FOR CAR THEFT (Continued from P One.) overturned : near Shenandoah, la., causing serious injury to his com panion, , May. Nace, and he has gained much notoriety since. Fails To Be Captured. He was wanted then by Omaha authorities to give light on the or ganization with which he was con nected and the then City Prosecutor T. J. McGuire, preferred charges against them. He was never cap tured although he appeared before the Page county authorities in Iowa, was fined for being in illegal posses sion of liquor at the time of the ac cident, and through legal processes regained possession of the car he used in conveying the liquor and which had been confiscated by the Iowa authorities. He also was named in a civil suit by the owner of a bungalow he used as a refuge in- Council Bluffs, when engaged in the illegal traffic. The owner was an Omaha woman who claimed damages to the plumbing in the house and other damages. The amount she claimed was Targe but the case never came to trial. Under Indictment He also is under indictment on a booze carrying charge, having been arrested by Mills county authorities at Hastings, la. - Recently he was arrested for wear ing the uniform of a United States soldier, and was held for the United States district court, after an exam ination by United States Commis sioner Organ of Council Bluffs. At first his bond was fixed at $5,000, which his attorney claimed he was unable to give, and this was reduced to $2,000, which be furnished, and, on being relased, pending his trial, he went to SC Joseph. On Saturday, it is alleged by the St Joseph police, Beavers comman deered a high-powered Buick car, belonging to a prominent citizen of that place, loaded it with whisky and set out for Omaha. ' Word was sent to all of the sheriffs in the counties of north western Missouri and of southeast ern Iowa, who were located along the underground .railway used by the booze runners, that he was on the way north with the stolen car and its cargo of contraband liquor. The Omaha police department also was notified and a close watch was kept of all of the places where it was thought he might attempt to enter the city. Some persons allege that Beavers is Earl Billingsley, a brother of the noted bootleg king, who made mil lions in Oklahoma, and whose opera tions extend in every bone dry state west of the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast. It is alleged that there is a man in the Canadian army, who enlisted under the name of Earl ' Beavers, and is now fighting in France. His enlistment was made at a time when Beavers wrote to police officers here that he was in Canada and had en listed in the Canadian forces for Overseas service. Members of the St. Joseph police department .will arrive in the city this morning to take Beavers into custody. He, it is said, will return without extradition papers. -. St. Joseph officials say they have absolute proof that he stole' the Buick car- as chargid and that he cannot evade the charge in this in stance as he has in others. Beavers will be taken to CreJton, la., before his return to St. Joseph where he is "wanted" also, .
