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.

New World's Record for Hog
Prices at Algona Auction
Fort Dodge, la., Jan. 11. (Special
I'elegram.) A new world's record in
jog prices was established in the
ale of J. A. Vipond & Sons jpf
Algona, when 50 head of Duroc Jer
sey hogs averaged $510 each. The
li.ghest price paid for a single sow
was $1,400, paid by Harry S. Fin.
"1 his sow was by Great Wonder I
Am, and is a record price for a year
ling gilt. The boar, Great Wonder I
Am, heads the Vipond herd, and an

Gen. Bell Laid to Rest
Wjth Fu Military Honors

ices with full military honors were
held late toaay at Governor's Island

A., commander of the Department
of the East, who died in a hospital

; Hospital at Archangel.

ment of a base hospital of 100 beds
at Archangel was announced today
by the American Red Cross. Eighty
patients, almost all of them Amer
icans, were aid to be receiving
treatment.
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.

DISCHARGED FAST

American Demobilization Is
Proceeding More Than
Twice as Rapidly
as British.
Washington, Jan. 11. Demobili
zation of the American army. Gen
eral March, chief of staff, said to
day, is proceeding at a rate which
comparative figures show to be
more than twice as fast as the Brit
ish demobilization. Actual figures
up to January 10 of men discharged
from the American army showed a
total of 693.889.
British discharges to January 7
numbered 352,658. American offi
cers to the number of 47,028 have
been returned to civil life, whileTin
January 7 the British had dis
charged only 3,038 officers.
Army of Occupation.
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. This reduced the ag
gregate strength to 11 divisions
from 12.
The list shows also that the fol-
Guards Keep Watch
Around Castle Where
Former Kaiser Lives
Amerongen, Jan. 11. 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).
Thirty-fourth (Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, North and South Dakota
national guard, part has sailed for
home).
Thirty-eighth (Indiana and Ken
tucky national army).
Eighty-sixth (Illinois national
army).
Thirty-ninth (Louisiana, Mississi
ppi and Arkansas national guard).
With the exception of the Thirty
ninth some units of each of the di
visions noted already have been an

dinner of the Canadian club here
last night. It was the organization's
first banquet since 1913, because of
the war. Mr. Lane, who was born
on Prince Edward Island, said that
no man, no matter from what coun
try he came, but should feel proud
that citizens of the dominion sent
500,000 men overseas to fight .-the
battles of freedom.
Lloyd George to France.
London, Jan. 11. The British del
egates to the peace conference left
for Paris this morning. Premier
Lloyd George, with the premiers of
the dominions and the representa
tives of India, traveled by the o.di
nary route. Andrew Bonar Law,
the chancellor of the exchequer,
made the trip by airplane as he in
variably does when he goes to
France.
Proud of Native Land.
New York, Jan. 11. Franklin K.

Why There' Wmi
of SUPER-SIMS
At $2,200 for the
Seven - Passenger
Phaeton it is a
distinctive value
There have never been enough Hudson Super
Sixes to meet the demand.
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.
