THE BETS; OMAHA, TUESDAY. INARCH 2, 1920. 13 . A PERSUING A MAN OF DESTINY, SAYS EASTERN PAPER Washington Post Comments On Tfip About Gountry Says Many Predict ; His Election. By E. C. SNYDER. Special Cormpundant f Tb B. . Washington, March 2. (Special Telegram.) General John J. Persh ing is agatn at his desk in his Wash ington office after a swing of 15,000 miles "around the circle" inspecting military posts, camps, cantonments and supply depots for the purpose of gaining a first-hand knowledge of present conditions of our army and the needs for future betterments. v The general looked as fit as when he went overseas nearly three years ago to take command of the finest army the United States ever as sembled under the flag to fight in the cause ,of democracy. General Pershing paid his respects to Secre tary of War Baker late Monday, and , Tuesday was the guest of Senator Warren It luncheon in the rooms of the appropriations committee. Mr. and Airs. L. E. Phelps of Meteetsee, Wyo., . were also in the luncheon party to meet the commander-in-chief of the American expeditionary forces, who bears the distinguished honors that have been accorded him by a grateful people with a modesty and simplicity that have been the subject of univeisal praise at the hands of both press, and public. What "The Post" Says. Writing of his return to Wash ington, a stall correspondent of the Post says: "General Pershing and his staff left Washington December 3. For nearly three months the party traveled over virtually every part of the United States. Few soldiers ever have received such a welcome as was accorded to t the commander of Amerkan overseas in every dtate, city and town visited. One must go hck , to Grant's time for a parallel. While in the west, in December, a movement within the republican party in Nebraska was launched for the purpose of making General Pershing 'the presidential nominee of that party at Chicago. It has since spread to other states. On the Pacific coast, in the south west and in the south, General Pershing has been acclaimed by en thusiastic audiences as "the next president of the United States." Didn't Stampede Pershing. "The sincerity of these demonstra tions failed to stampede the general or disturb the serenity of his mind, which is wholly occupied with his official duties to the exclusion of anything remotely resembling poli tics. He will not discuss politics, and shows no interest in the sub ject. "At Jhe same time the latest re ports from Nebraska indicate that the campaign there to carry . the, state fof General Pershing in "the April - primaries is gathering strength, and that there is Strong likelihood of the Nebraska dele gates going to Chicago instructed for him, "While in Lincoln, where he was at one time military instructor at the university, he purchased a mod est home, where his young son, Warren, lives with his two sisters. General Pershing's real hearthstone is there, and he is regarded in Ne braska as a son of that state. . "Man of Destiny." "The signs are that his name will be presented to the Chicago con ; vention. Many candidates there will hav greater initial strength than will General Pershing, but his abil ity is recognized even by those who are not supporting him, while there is one factor always to be considered, and that is thifcrtliat the whole career of John J. Per shing showt very plainly that heis what history calls a 'man of destiny.' Some of the shrewdest politicians in the country believe that this same destiny will make him president." Pershing Will Advocate Retention of War Plants Washington, March 2. Retention of sufficient wartime posts and war plants to permit expansion of the army and resumption of production of war materials at full caoacity will be recommended by General Per shing, he indicated today on his re turn to Washington after a three months' tour of inspection of camps,, cantonments and supply depots over' the country. ' The general's full report to Sec retary Baker probably will be made within 10 days. There is strong sentiment through out the country in favor of univer sal service qf some sort, General Pershing said, based on recognition of the benefit to the, men themselves and also on the fear that "we might not have allies to hold the line for ur in the next war." "American citizenship Is sound to the oore," the general said. "I was impressed with the wave of Ameri canism which is sweeping over the country." . General Pershing said he had not talked politics to "a single person" on his trip and is "not talking poli , lies now."

Later in the Season A-warning to motorists to -buy their tires for the coming season now, when they can be sure of their sizes and of first class grades, was sounded yesterday by Henry Njf gaard, manager of the Omaha TTrc & Repair Co., 2201 Farnam street, who said a tire shortage later in the summer is anticipated by dealers. In addition to the possibility that factories will be unable to supply the demand later in the year, there may be an increase in the prices of tires, he said. Mr. Nygaard, who has been in the tire business longer than any other dealer in Omaha, declared that tire of today give six times the service that those of a few years ago did, because of improvements in con struction and the better care given by motorists. Considering the num ber of cars in operation, there is a surprisingly small amount of tire trouble, he said. The introduction of demountable rims and the educa tional campaigns conducted by man ufacturers were responsible for driv ers giving their tires better, care. Mr. Nygaard recalled that one of the most popular sized tires used now costs about $20, whereas it sold for $32 a few years ago. During the same period the 37x5 tire, one of the largest for pleasure car's, has dropped from $108 to about $50. Im proved methods of construction and more efficient factory customs, with better distribution, have been re sponsible for the decrease, he said. Mr. Nygaard has been in the tire business in Omaha ior 13 years, and at his present location for the past 10 years- His company is agent for Diamond pneumatic tires and Good 'rich solid tires.
