THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: 'JANUARY 12, 1919. o A AIRPLANES MAY BE BUILT HERE SAYS ASHL1USEM Pioneer in Aircraft Production Now Here Says Omaha Is Logical Elace for Factory. Omaha may soon have another pood industry added to its growing bit. Henry V. Ashmusen, pioneer in aircraft production, is here to or ganize a concern to, build airplanes in this city. "Now there are only two plants in the country where complete air p' ines are built," said Mr. Ashmusen. 'Omaha, in its rich and central lo--cation, is an ideal place to develop .(lie airplane building industry. Hun dreds of flying men are coining home from war soon, and many of the.ni are keen to continue their flying. Omaha is to be on the air mail route. There's no reason why Oma ha shouldn't be in the airplane busi ness cm just as big a scale as any cis'crn city." i he military tractor biplane, which may be displayed at the Omaha au tomobile show March 10 to 15, was designed and built in its entirety in ;Ashmusen's plant at Providence, R. I. It has attracted thousands this week in H. Pelton's salesrooms, where it is now being shown. ; ''I've spent years perfecting the ;engine," said Ashmusen. "It has passed government tests perfectly. The plane here now was used by the government at Langley field, Hampton, Va., until the armistice was signed." Ashmusen years ago was in thej electrical business in Omaha. In ,1907 lie became interested in avia tion, and has been actively connec ted with the industry since. He was one of the first members of the Na tional Aeronautical society. " John V. Kurtz, business manager tf the Omaha Daily News, is finan cially associated with Mr. Ashmusen in his Omaha undertaking.

Relief Commission Makes Special Plea for Donations . to Suffering People in . Devastated Countries. The war is over, but the suffer ing it brought is still intense and in the lands which the Huns devas tated there are now millions of per sons who are destitute of many of the necessities of life. The call for Christian charity is still insistent and America, almost untouched and unscathed by the horrors of war, is the logical nation to offer help to the poor people of invaded coun tries. lack Warm Garments. Millions of people in Belgium are without warm clothing and, al though America still has more than plenty, she-is just a little slow to answer the plea of the poverty stricken - people across the sea. American is not selfish, it is the most generous nation on earth But, since the war is over, it has not realized that people in war-torn countries are still suffering awful hardships and many will not be able to live tb.rough.oui the winter unless America shares j its wealth with them. Clothing Problem Unsolved. Herbert Hoover and the Ameri can food mission have arranged for sending food to these poor people, but the problem of clothing them is still unsolved. Five million persons in northern France and Belgium must be clothed from the surplus in America. It seems like a gigantic task, but it will be simple if Ameri cans will donate some of their old clothing for the cause. The Com mission for Relief in Belgium will send all clothing free to' Belgium. A special plea tor old clothing is made in Nebraska this month and the commission hopes to send sev eral carloads from here. Establish Headquarters. Headquarters have been estab lished at 219 North Eleventh street and clothing left there will be sent direct to Belgium. Persons unable to bring their donations may call the Gordon Van and Storage com pany, who will call.

The official record announced by General March showing the location in France and Germany of the American divisions, gives 11 divis ions as comprising the army of occupation.- Comparison with the last official announcement of the composition of this force shows that, the Seventh (regular) division, un der Maj. Gen. Edmund Whittenmey er, has been added to the Eighty ninth (Kansas, Missouri and Color ado national army), and Ninetieth (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma national army), divisions have been detached from the army of occupation.

Since the recent illness of William Hohen zollern, the former German emper or, most ktringent precautions have been taken against the ap proach of strangers to Ameron ' gen castle. Guards maintain a close watch around the castle. All arrivals in the village are immedi ately interrogated by detectives who meet all incoming surface cars. When Herr Hohenzollern took advantage of a sudden burst of sunshine today to walk in the rose garden with an aide, the apertures in the walls, which had been open ed up today, were covered with thick straw to prevent anyone from looking in. From a point of vantage, however, the correspondent saw the former emperor walking afcout briskly. lowing divisions have been "skele tonized," indicating they have been placed on priority for early convoy home for use in part as replace ments: Thirty-first (Georgia, Alabama, Florida national guard).

Production was to have been stopped January 1st."1 Then, unexpectedly, the ban against manufacture was lifted. Orders for closed cars remained to be filled. So when author ity to continue manufacture was given, all efforts were turned to filling those closed car orders - That is the -condition today. No open car models, the seven passenger and the four-passenger phaetons, will be built for some time. NormaF factory pro duction cannot be resumed be fore June. Only a few open cars are in the hands of dealers. The fac tory will have none for some time. If you want an open model Super-Six, the type that, has given Hudson so much pres tige, you should try to get one of those now in stock. The first suggestion of Spring will exhaust all that are now available. x The Super-Six owes its leader ship -not alone to the perform 'ance and endurance it has proved, but to its dollar value. What car in performance, dur ability, reliability, smartness and beauty at any price excels the Super-Six? The seven-passenger Hudson phaeton sells at $2,200.
