GENERAL WOOD
TAKES LINCOLN
.OFF ITS FEET
fedtinguished Soldier Makes
flany FriendsJiPays Tribute
to Soldiers and Shies
at Politics.
Lincoln, Neb., May 27. MaJ. Gen.
j-eonara A. wood made himself
yolid with the people of Lincoln dur
ing his visit Monday and in the
three speeches, made it become evi
dent that he was not afraid to come
out and tell where he stands on
many questions.
As a soldier the general favors
preparedness that the United States
may be in a position to meet any
- - L IT. r
emergency wnicn may arise, ne ia
vored a dry nation and said that he
has no use whatever for anything
tinamerican, the I. W. W. in par
ticular.
Prenarednesi Not War.
In speaking of preparedness the
general said. "Get out of your head
the rotten idea that the possession of
power means that a nation will be
an oppressive one or that prepared
jiess to fight, means war. The men
"coming back do not like it. They
are like a surgeon who does not
want to be operated on because he
iknows what it means.
He paid tribute to the boys of the
89th division now returning and said
ither were better physically, moral
ly and had a better conception of
their duty as American citizens. We
want no autocracy," he added; "We
must stand steady, with our teet on
the ground and our eyes' on Uod
.AVe want cool-headed men to work
out our problems. '
- No Reference to League.
s General Wood did not refer to
the league of nations; the nearest
he came to it was when he said,
f"When any man becomes as much
interested.in your family as you are
yourself, then it is time to tell him
to move on.
; A persistent newspaper reporter,
.representing a democratic daily
'oaDr. asked the general if he was
going to be a candidate for the presi-
rr-1 .1 1
aency. ine answer me general gave
did not enlighten the reporter in that
regard, as he simply smiled at the
young man s interest in the matter.
However, the eeneral impression
left in Lincoln," appears to be that
if the national republican convention
should shoot the nomination in his
direction, the general would not
dodge. So far as Lincoln repub
licans are concerned they would be
willing to see hin stand-up and stop
the shot.

ly kissed man in New York.
The boss informed him his pay
would be raised $10 a week.

thing about war specially about its

STDHR STOPS IN
DES MOINES UN
HIS WAY HOME
Gets Idea as to Iowa Methods
for Handling Weights and
Measure Problems by
Inspectors.
Lincoln, May 27. State Food
Commissioner Stuhr has returned
from Washington, where he- at
tended a conference of weights and
measures inspectors and where mat
ters regarding food problems were
discussed.
:.. says that the meeting was
interesting. Utah, South Dakota
Minnesota, Texas and Kansas were
represented, but that about covered
the western state representation, so
far as he was able to discover.
The matter of compelling the sale
of fruits by weight was discussed
and Stuhr believes that it will re
sult in a better condition, doing
away with the sale of these com
modities by measure.
Stops Off at Des Moines.
On his way home Stuhr stopped
in Des Moines and investigated the
method of handling inspection mat
ters there. He says that Iowa fur
nishes the inspection department
with four automobiles for the use
of the weights and measures in
spectors. They take their weights
with them in the cars and are thus
enabled to cover much territory
than where the weights are shipped
by rail and it is necessary to depend
upon local draymen to haul the
weights about from one store to an
other.
Much lime is saved bjrthe use of
the automobiles and much more ter
ritory covered in a day. The state
furnishes seven Fords for the use of
its food and hotel inspectors, an in
spector from each making the
rounds together and train service is
cut out entirely.

Where War Poison Was Made
Accountant in State Auditor's Office Tells of Capture

Says Poison Powerful Enough to Destroy Cities.
Lincoln, May 26. (Special) Pub

States was in possession of enough
poison to have put the German peo
ple in a deep sleep from which there
would be no awakening and that had
the war not closed just as it did that
the poison would have been put in
use, discloses that right in the state
house is a man who knew all about
the jtroppsition, but was not per
mitted to talk.
.This man is L. E. Gunderson, state
accountant , in the office of State
Auditor George W. Marsh, who had
charge of the personnel of the men
at the plant in the state of New
York where the stuff was being
manufactured.
Mr. Gunderson was in the plant 18
months and his parents were not
permitted to know where he was lo
cated. They knew he was near
some big city, mail to him being sent
there, and from that point was taken
by a secret messenger to the plant
He told of the capture of a Ger
man spy, who confessed that his
government had sent him to several
different points in the United States
in an effort to discover what this
government was doing. He was cap
tured by a- sentry who discovered
him on top of a pile of lumber try
ing to get a peep over the enclosure
fence into the yards of the plant.
The deadly effect of the liquid is
disclosed when, according to Mr.
Gunderson, one of the men in the
plant who had a small hole in his
glove, permitted a small drop to gt
under his finger nail, j He was taken
