ALLIES' ANSWER
TITLE FOR BIG
v NIGHTPARADE
Patriotic Demonstration Will
Be Greatest Ever Seen in
Omaha as Patriotic
Floats Pass.
' The big event of the annual Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities in Omaha will be
v the electrical parade on Wednesday
evening, October 2.
A series of 16 floats will depict
. The Allies' Answer" to 100,000 peo
ple from Nebraska and Iowa. The
parade will be led by the board of
governors of Ak-Sar-Ben on horse
back. Each float will be preceded
by -heralds and flanked by groups of
members of the order in costume.
Ak-Sar-Ben paradeshave brought
forth some remarkabfe floats in the
past,' but the present series will
probably be voted the greatest of
- them all, because they will produce
' wave after wave of patriotic demon
stations. It has been suggested that the
United States government draft the
floats and send them over the coun
try during coming financial drives.
The following is a brief descrip
tion of each float:
"The Allies' Answer."
This is the title float. A great
animated American Eagle, with de-
... fiafttly flapping wings and massed
national colors and implements of
war, surmount a shield bearing the
title of the parade.
"The Spirit of America.
Illustrating the universal spirit
that animates this vast country. In
front a camouflaged 75-M cannon is
roaring defiance. Next, the tillers
of the soil performing herculean la
bor, then a feminine figure busily
knitting. Two allegorical figures de
wted to shipbuilding are next seen.
In the rear of the float are shown
the munition factofies, working day
and night and tended by women la
borers. "Lafayette, We've Come."
General Pershing, a martial figure
on horseback, is seen saluting a bust
of Marquis de Lafayette, at the base
Of which is his memorial wreath
with its laconic expression of grati
tude from the American nation
N "Lafayette, We've Come."
Mars Forging Unbreakable Chain.
The fierce, stern figure of the God
of War, with uplifted vizor, is seen
'forging the Chain of War, the un
breakable links of which are the
fighting -allied nations. The details,
architecture and colors of the float
are Greek. This float reproduces a
recent cover of Leslie's Weekly.
America Feeding the World.
Illustrating the great aid from the
boundless resources of America.
Here are grouped the stores of corn,
wheat, live stock, metals, oil and
supplies of all kinds in profusion.

In the rear is a typical grain eleva
tor full to overflowing. Uncle Sam,
in the center of the float, is benevo
lently and busily feeding a great
globe, showing the vast countries in
need. The "Central Empires" are
conspicuously blotted out, padlocked
and marked "verbotten."
The Watch on the Rhine.
A helmeted German dachshund
is shown completely "over a "barrel"
Ameri Cord and Fabric
Hand Made Tires and Tubes
T
HERE is as much satisfaction in sell
ing good tires as there is in using
them. If you own a car you know what
this means.
Now is the time to stock good tires,
for automobile owners are demanding
better tires all the time. Price is a small
consideration.
"The sweetness of low price never
equals the bitterness of poor quality."
When you sell or use the Ameri
Cord or Fabric hand-made tires and
tubes, both red and gray, you know you
are selling or using goods of the high
est quality; and fully guaranteed by the
manufacturers who are financially able
to meet all obligations.
Write, telephone or telegraph us for

back "over the Rhine," and being
efficiently assisted by a warlike
English lion, French rooster and
American eagle. At the base of
the float are groups of the Chaus
seurs d'Alpin or French "Blue
Devils" with gas masks, ready to
spring.
Undaunted France. v
In honor of our brilliantly brave
sister republic, her undaunted fight
ing spirit is typified by a great
game cock in front, followed by
figures in marital costume and end
ing with a massive "Arch of
Triumph," under which sits a
graceful heroic figure symbolizing
"France." The sides of the float
are gorgeously decked with the
massed flags, the shields of France
and the fleur-de-lvs.
Hail, Britannia!

Showing the Italian colors, cos
tumes and accessories, a vengeful
red clad figure of Italy, sword in

eagle, in the struggle! for its lost
provinces.
Desolate Belgium.
The ruined and devastated, yet
defiant little kingdom is shown by
the crushed and flmokltring build
ings and cathedrals, in which hover
pitiful figures of refugees. Above
them rests the rainbow of hope
and in front is the world figure of
the heroic Cardinal Mercier.
The Ciegho-Slovaks.
The progress of this remarkable
fighting force across the wilds of
Siberia is "a romance of history,"
and in the striking float devoted to
this latest aljv is fittingly shown
"A Romance of Mythology." Belle
rophon is depicted as a heroic
Czecho-Slovak figure, with the
four-starred flag of the new nation,
facing the triple-headed, fire-eating
monster, Chimera, issuing from a
glittering iceberg.
"The Greatest Mother in the
World."

central figure is a massive reproduc

world by storm. Red Cross nurse
with the madonna like face, pitifully
holding the stretcher borne wound
ed soldier. The balance of the float
shows various benefactions of the
Red Cross, and Cornucopias flowing
I with gold and silver showing the
boundless contntbutions of our gen
erous people.
Our War Presidents.

of our country from the revolution
to the present terrible struggle.

picted George Washington with
colonial soldiers, then in order fol
low pictures of President Polk with
military figures of the Mexican war.
The End of the Submarine.
A brilliant aquatic picture. Emerg-
j ing from the ocean depths is shown

with a Hun face and helmet; astride
its back and clutching with its
falons is the great Ameriacn Eagle

"Eye of the Navy," watching day
and night the "Lanes of the Sea."
