DEFENSE MINUS
MILITARISM IS
PERSHING PLAN
f
General's Attitude Toward
Military Training In Amer
ica Makes .Impression, On
Pacific Coast.
Seattle, Vash, Feb. 16. (Spe
cial:) The question of military
preparedness was discussed at con
siderable length by General Persh
ing on his recent visit to the Facifio
coast and what he said on the sub
ject in this and other cities marts
a profound impression on the minds
of those who heard him.
Under the head, "Safety Without
Militarism," the Seattle Daily Times
has this to say editorially about
General Pershing's views on the sub
ject of military training:
"General Pershing's views on the
subject of military training are one
with the views of all other friends
of adequate preparedness.
"The first soldier of the land ini
, pressed upon his ySeattle audiences
the fact that he is as vigorous a
. toe as any other militarist. v
Heed Defense Necessity.
"But. he solemnly counseled ail
the audiences he-addressed in this
city to take heed to the necessity
for adequate national defense
through the training of America's
young manhood in the. practice of
arms.
"Preparedness was the basic thenis
of all of Pershing's speeches in this
city!
, "He was iu tensely in earnest in
his discussion of the matter. He il
lustrated his belief in the necessity
for actioii by crisp observations con-
cerning the tinprepareduess of the
countrv at the time of the break
. with Germany, frequently alluding
, to the fact that another crisis plight
not see America's shores safe-
guarded against a foreign foe by al
lies previously in the field and man
fully resisting while the United
States prepared. t
"Time after time, the general fer
vently expressed his hope that the
republic would not again be visited
by war, but every such hope was
followed by the solemn declaration
that no man. today can say wh,n war
will come or how close it may be.
y Pride in the Army.
- "The pride he expressed in the
army he had the honor tocommand
.overseas was mingled with a deter
mination that, if he could prevent,
another army of equally splendid
' "young Americans should not be call
ed upon to face, equally unprepared,
responsibilities of so grave a nature.
"Defense without militarism!
' Such is Pershing's program! Such
the program of every patriotic
American 1 ""
"That end never can be achieved
through a large regular army.
"It can be effected in but one
way the way indicated by Persh
ing and by others as devoted ass he
' td the republic's every interest by
universal military training!" .
Hughes Writes Omahahan
Refusal to Be Candidate
Charles E. Hughes, republican
presidential nominee in 1916, is "ut
terly unwilling t undertake a second
candidacy," according to a letter
which he has written County Clerk
Frank Dewey 'of-Omaha.
Mr. Dewey wrote Mr. Hughes to
the effect that he believed many Ne
braska republicans looked upon him
as the best and most available
- candidate this year and asked his at
,titude toward a movement to pre
sent his name in th,e -state primary.

Omaha Man Concert Master
Of Minneapolis Orchestra
Guy Woodard, who is the con
cert master ovf the Minneapolis
Symphoney orchestra,' is a former
resident of Omaha. He began his
musical studies here, studying for
manyt years with the late Dr.
Charles Baetens, and with his uncle,
Mr. Herbert Butler, who is now a
prominent violinist of Chicjgo. Mr.
Woodard ' displayed such unusual
talent that he rapidly won recogni
tion in his chosen field, and before
his engagement with the Minneap
olis Symphony orchestra he., held
many similar positions in other or
chestras with great success.
Many people wonder what a con
cert master of an orchestra is. The
concert master is .next in importance
to the conductor. He is in fact, a
sort of lieutenant. Just as the string
band is the most important section
of the orchestra, thq concert mas
ter is the most important player
among the strings. ' He is the first,
cf the attack, in other words lie
must take the initiative in air the
entrances, and much of the shad
ing, the time, and expression of the
music is gauged by him. To him
falls the solo work in the first vio
lin section. , "
' He must be constantly alert, and
concentrated upon the music, as he
is the most valuable support of the
conductor. .A great deal of the re
sponsibility for th success of the
interpretations rests upon him. This
position requires a fine musician,
absolutely dependable and keenly
artistic, quick to understand and to
ALUMNI URGED "
TO TAKE PART IN
PUBLIC AFFAIRS
President of Wesleyan Univer
sity Says College Men
Must Lead Voters.
"The stay-at-home voter is un
grateful for the privileges and
guarantees that our American life
furnishes him and hp is responsible,
more than any one else, for in
competency of public officials," as
serted John W. Hoffman, president
of the Ohio Wesleyan University,
during a talk last night at the Black
stone hotel to a roup of Omaha
alumni.
The Ohio educator is on a tour
which will take him to the Pacific
coast. He is meeting former stu
dents of the university and is urg
ing college men generally to take
more interest -in public affairs.Rev.
Titus Lowe, who attended the al
umni dinner last night, entered the
ministry with President Hoffman.
Lack Public Spirit.
Referring to the stay-at-home
vote, the speaker stated that in the
1916 national convention 18,000,000
voted and 7.000,000 did not vote.
"College men," he said, "lack in
public spirit. They should, use their
brains jn social and political move
ments in such definite ways as
speaking . and direct service, not
necessarily to hold public office.
College men are not agitators; they
are not taking enough interest in
public affairs. In six city campaigns
which I have analyzed I found that
the leadership was not in the college
men."
On the question of present unrest,
he said:
Will Calm Unrest
, "Common sense and sanity will
save the American people. The gov
ernment will have to deal with more
persuasive methods. I have no sym
pathy with the agitator, hut you
can t kill the pn iiosophy by killing
the philosophers. The American
people will have to set about the
establishment of justice, aud equity
in economic life in dead -earnest,
We must recognize that the country
is made 'up not of one group, but
of many groups, labor, capital and
the public must be reckoned with
in all the adjustments we make."
President Hoffman explained that
he is endeavoring to have estab
lished in his university a chair of
Americanism in which shall be fo
cused the best features of sociology,
economics, history and political
science. .
Omaha Boy Scouts Will

K It is the plan of the camp com

"Polite" Boy Bandits
With Big Gun Hold
Bluffs Car Employes
Two boy bdndits, about 15 years
old, wearing oilcloth masks and
armed with a big revolver, held up
Conductor R. H. Ricketts and Mo
torman J. R. Mclntyre of the East
Pierce street car in Council Bluffs
about midnight Sunday.
The men were alone in the car
whenit reached the end of the line
at the-Walnut Hill cemetery. When
the car had been backed around on
the switch the two boys tapped on
the door for admittance. Conduc
ductor Ricketts opened the door
and stepped to the platform they
told him to hold up his hands, tak
ing $35.75 from his pockets.
The young bandits then walked
through the car to the motorman
and relieved him of a gold pocket
piece, a present from his mother.
Jumping from the street car they
got into a Ford and drove rapidly
east on McPherson avenue. The
Conductor said the boys-were "very
polite."
