Colonel Henry B. Hersey Says
T. ;.nscbntiaental Airship Is
Best That He Has
Ever Seen.
Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 16. Col.
Henry B. Hersey, formerly of
Omafra, an authority on aeronau
tics, is much impressed with the
new Lawson transcontinental air
ihip, which soon will start its flight
across the country.
In an interview recently with Ed-
spondent for The Bee, he said:
"I have seen on this side, and
.1 - - . 'J. - .
on xne oiner siue, a great many 01
the biggest and best airplanes that
have been constructed, but I was
tremendously surprised when I saw
this one of Mr, Lawson's. Its size,
its excellence of construction, and
its completeness of every detail, are
really marvellous. I have great
faith. ?n its success.
"The comforts available in its
'arge, roomy cabinet should make
It very popular with all air travel
ers." t
Colonel Hersey established a
United States army balloon school
it Omaha, and he has been con
nected with air work since 1906.
He was with the Walter Wellman
expedition which started out to
reach the north pole. On that oc
casion he was sent by th govern
ment and was made executive officer
by Mr. Wellman. They started out
for Spitzbergen and were camped
at one time at a point nearly 1.000
miles inside the Arctic circle.
Colonel Hersey also went over to
France in 1918 and hrf?anized a
staff of instructors and army offi
cers.. He has had the unique ex
perience of dropping from a bal
loon with a parachute and he
taught others to do the same thing.
Referring to Omaha, the colonel
said: "I understand that one of
the principal stops is to be at Oma
ha, and I must certainly say that
the company could not have se
lected a better city for that purpose
anywhere. Its people are public
spirited, willing and able to help in
any project, and it is a city which
all travelers will thoroughly enjoy
visiting.

government ownership of railways

The stretch on Farnam street
from Eighteenth street to Twenty
sixth street, known throughout the
state as "Automobile Row", has out
grown its capacity and numerous
automotive concerns have consid
ered it good business to locate else
where owing to the constant need of
expanding.
Among the progressive firms who
are off the beaten path and "going
strong" is the Omaha Tire and Ac
cessory company, recently organized
to handle Federal tires and a full
line of accessories.
The officers of the company are
F. T. Walker, who came to Omaha
from Columbus, Keb., about 10
years ago, and P. A.' Clark, who has
been associated with th'e Fisk and U.
S. Rubber Co. for the pat three
years.
An elaborate service policy has
been outlined which, backed with
the quality of . Federal tires, is
designed to attract ' motorists who
are seeking the best in tire service
and mileage.

service cars which is already in con
stant operation.
Borah in Letter to Omahan
Tells Why1 Opposes League

Asks What Have England, France and Japan Sacri
ficed Indorses League for Preservation of Ameri
can Independence.
Ernestus A. Benson, 842 Paxton
block, president of the Omaha
branch of the League for the Preser
vation of American Independence, is
in receipt of th following self-ex-plantory
letter from Senator Wil
liam E. Borah:
"I observe that you are the presi
dent of the Omaha branch of the
League for the Preservation of
American Independence. The name
of your organization is not at all
misleading. This is distinctly a
contest for the independence of the
American republic. I do not as
sume to pass upon other people's
motives nor challenge individual
loyalty.
"But Imake no hesitancy in say
ing that this treacherous and dis
loyal scheme, if it should ever be
carried into effect, would undermine
and destroy the republic as the fath
ers made it, and as we have
known and loved it heretofore- It
would sacrifice in the very beginning
clearly and unmist-kably the policy
of Washington and draw us into all
the turmoils and broils of Europe.
There would be no possible escape
from this result.
Become Permanent Allies.
"After we enter this league we be
come permanent allies and asso
ciates andypartners with nations of
Europe, Asia, with people who do
not speak our language, who do not
understand our institutions and
who have no conception of our plan
of civilization. Having sacrificed

F you're buying a car this year, why not have the
most recent thing offered?
Here we have a Post-War Maxwell, developed
during the war years, and given to you now, not only
a far greater Maxwell, but more advanced even than
many cars that twice exceed its price.
It's an engineering treat to look it over; and an
event that will linger in your memory to ride 5 miles
behind the wheel.
For a new Lemoine type front axle gives you a
castering effect in steering that will surprise you.
A heavy rear axle, new, makes you hug any kind
of a road.
New full oval fenders express the rhythm of
motion, and two new types of brakes bring you to a
halt In a very decisive way.
The "emergency" is up at the transmission, as in
so many foreign cars. The "service" is equipped with
equalizers and thus any tendency to skid is prevented.
Many louvres in the' bonnet, a large tank in the
rear the number of fine developments seems endless I
Also equipped with Hot Spot and Ram's-horn.
But it's the same basic chassis as the 300,000
Maxwells that precede this post-war car. How well
th public has regarded these is expressed in the sum
of $200,000,000 the price paid by the public for the
previous ones.
This Post-War Maxwell is a greater car. $985

would be no possible way to retain
the policy of Monroe. Whatever
may be said to the contrary as a
matter of theory, in practice these
two policies must stand or fall to
gether. If we interfere in Euro
pean affairs it must inevitably follow
as a practical proposition that Eu
rope will interfere in American af
fairs. Madison, Jefferson and Mon
roe and all subsequent advocates of
the Monroe doctrine understood this
perfectly. So we sacrifice the two
great principles which have dis
tinguished us for nearly 150 years
and which have enabled us to be
come a nation with common pur
poses, common ideals and aspira
tions. No Sacrifices by Allies.
"On the other hand, what sacrifices
have Great Britain, France and Ja
pan made? Great Britain has ac
quired territory equal in area to that
which we secured by the Louisiana
purchase. She has acquired domin
ion 'over additional people to the
amount of 30.000,000. She has re
tained her policy of the supremacy
of the sea unmodified and unchal
lenged which is and has been the
basis of her foreign policy. In addi
tion to this she secures the United
States as the underwriter of her
possessions scattered in every part
of the globe. France, on the other
hand, rejected the 'league of rations
as insufficient and secures her spe
cial alliance which the president con
demned as the fojnentor of war and
in this special alliance for the
first time in history the United States
becomes a partner. Japan gets
! Shantung and her dominion over
40,000,000 Chinamen jvTiich ,is the
first step in the complete dismem-
berment and control of the Chinese
empire. And all these things, these
i materia! acquisitions the United
fStates pledges the blood of her
young men to underwrite and per
petuate. It is an outrageous, hid
eous betraval of the' fundamental
j principles of the American republic
and of our American 'civilization."

WICKERSHAM FOR
RATIFYING, THEN
AMENDING PACTS
...
Urges Same Methods as
Framers of Constitution
Worked for in its Amend
' ment by States.
Washington, Aug. 16. (By The
Associated Press.) Former Attor
ney Genera! Wickersham in a state
ment issued through the. League to
Enforce Peace today, called upon
the senate to ratify the peace treaty
with the league of nations covenant
and then prepare to perfect ths
document by amendment through
the assembly and council of the
league jn the same manner as, he
pointed out, the framers of the con
stitution worked for its amendment
by the states.
Critics qf the constitution, Wick
ersham declared, opposed it because
it did not cbntain a bill of rights
protecting the liberties of the states
and the principles and the concur
rence of some states notably New
York and Massachusetts was se
cured only by promises that steps
would be taken for early amend-
Lrients to remove the objections
most strongly urged. lhehrst
congress, the former attorney gen
eral recalled, redeemed those prom
ises by submitting the first 10
amendments, which have been char
acterized as a bill of rights.
Provide for Amendment
"The delegates to the peace con
ference in Paris," declared Mr.
Wickersham, "followed the example
cf the framers of the constitution of
the United States by incorporating
into the covenant of the league of
nations a provision for its amend
ment by a vote of the members o'
the league, whose representatives
compose the council now nine in
number, and by a majority of the
members whose representatives
compose the assembly.
"Let the senate ratify the treaty
and thus avert from America the
reproach of depriving the world of
the great hope, the radiant promise
of a world allied for the preserva
tion of peace.
Want Measues Formulated.
"Then let those measures for im
provement of the instrument and for
the better safeguarding of the na
tional traditions and institutions of
America be formulated by the sen
ate or by both houses of congress
and transmitted to the American
representatives in the assembly and
in the council of the league of na
tions with instructions to present
them for adoption as amendments
to the covenant i
Opposition to the covenant except
from those who reject it entirely,
the former attorney general de
clared, had been reduced to a half
dozen points which could be han
dled in the way suggested and he ex
pressed the opinion that "the pres
tige and power of America are so
great that it scarcely can be doubt
ed that any amendments thus rec
ommended would fail of adoption
save for very eonvincing reasons",

Not Strong as a Provider

but has failed to support her, in a

Erzberger Denies Report
That He Intends to Quit
Weimar. Aug. 16. (By The As
sociated Press) Mathias Erzberger,
vice premier and minister of finance,
declared today it was his intention
to remain in office as long as he had
the confidence of the majority of the
national assembly.
Herr Erzberger caused an uproar
among members of the right by
charging that they had been indulg
ing in abuse of him and had been
"lying."
