GEN. PERSHING
IS NOTED FOR
BUSINESS SENSE
"Couldn't Find Better Man If
U. S. Wants Business Presi
dent," Says Head of
Lumber-Concern.
Lincoln, Neb.. April 8. "If the'
American people want a business
man for president, they can find no
bigger one in the United States than
fchn J. Pershing, recently head of
'he Americir, tupeditionary forces,"
tetfared WVford S. Yates, head of
b Yates Lumber and Coal com
ttiy ot this city, here today. Cap
, ;.1n Yates served six months abroad
with the American Red Cross and
i.s a brother of Col. Halsey E. Yates,
recently military attache to the
American embassy at Bucharest,
Roumania, and formerly comman
dant of the cadet regiment of -the
University of Nebraska.
"The A. E. F. was not 'merely a
fighting machine," said Captain
Yates, "but the biggest business en
terprise that an American was ever
called upon to supervise. Over 500,
dOO men were employed in the serv
ice of supply for the entire over
seas force. Some of the biggest
business men in the country were
picked by Pershing to handle the
details of the work, and were made
captains and colonels; but the man
behind the entire organization was
General Pershing himself.
"Pershing was just as much the
business head of the A. E. f. as he
4
was the military head. Some of the
most prominent executives in the
country have declared Pershing to
be the biggest business man the
world ever produced.
Eighty per cent of all the sup
plies for the American army were
purchased in Europe under the di
rection of General Pershing in order
that shipping facilities might be
used for the fighting forces. Persh
ing picked Brigadier General Dawes,
one of the biggest business men in
the country, for this work. Then
there were the reconstruction plants,
where old coats and shoes arid every
other article of clothing was utilized
and made into new equipment. The
hospitals in themselves were great
business enterprises. At one time,
one hospital of which I knew con
tained 5,000 patients, and Pershing
was the man who had supervision
over all the hospitals."-

Oh Uear, My Back! Hov it Aches!
Oh Dear! Pain almost like
that of tooth-ache. Sometimes
my feet are swollen and it is
difficult for me to get out of
bed in the morning.
This is what many men
and women write us, and it is
all due to an over-abundance
ofuric acid in the body, which
causes' lumbago, rheumatism
and gout. .
Several years ago, Dr. Pierce
discovered a combination of
pharmaceutical products that
invariably cleanse out the poi
nts by exciting the kidneys,
and soothe the irritated blad-
der,'so that now many thousands write Dr. Pierce as to the
wonderful benefits they have received from this anti-uric
acid and kidney tablet called Anuric. Sold by druggists, or
send 10c, to Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., for trial package.
Beatrice, Neb. "For about two years I have been having kid
ney trouble. The uric add spread through my system causing
rheumatism in my joints. It would affect my limbs, also my arms.
This would make me very miserable. I would also have pains in my
back and through my kidneys. I just recently started taking Anuric
and it has taken the aches out of my joints, and my back does
not bother me; Anuric is rapidly removing the uric acid from
my system. I think it a splendid kidney remedy. I have also
taken 'Favorite Prescription' as a woman's tonic and it proved
very good. I am glad to recommend Doctor Pierce's medicines."

ADMIRAL WILSON
REFUTES SIMS'
CHARGES ON NAVY
Declares Active List of Ves
sels Never Was Better Pre
pared for War Than
1917.
Washington, April 8. The ves
sels on the active list of the navy
were never better prepared for war
than when the United States joined
the allies and the Navy department
had "full and complete" plans to
combat a German offensive against
the coasts of the United States, Ad
miral H. B. Wilson today told the
senate committee investigating the
Navy department's conduct of the
world war. Admiral Wilson as
serted that "from the moment war
was declared, the entire navy, the
department, as well as the fleet
entered into the prosecution of the
war with the greatest energy and its
accomplishments deserve the com
mendation of the nation."
Admiral Wilson, .now commander-in-chief
of the Atlantic fleet, com
manded the patrol force that first
protected waters adjacent to the
United States and later, based at
Brest, France, co-operated in pro
tecting allied convoys in the war
zone and hunting U-boats.
Within four days after this coun
try entered the war representatives
of the allied admiralties were in
conference with Secretary Daniels
and naval officers in Washington
outlining the means by which the
most effective assistance could be
rendered by this country, the wit
ness declared.
Mistakes Inconsequential.
Mistakes the navy made during
the war were so "relatively unim
portant" that they were hardly
worth considering in comparison
with its achievements, the witness
said.
Referring to Admiral Sims' charge
that an insufficient number of small
vessels was sent abro4 during the
first few months of American partic
ipation in the war, Admiral Wil
son declared that at a conference
between Secretary Daniels and allied
admitalty representatives about
April 10, 1917, the foreign officials
did not express any dire need ,fof
help and suggested that the United
States take over the work of pa
trolling the waters adjacent to this
country and one representative sug
gested that the United States send
"one destroyer abroad in order that
the flag may be shown to let it be
known that the United States navy
has actually joined the naval forces
of the allies."

Sool by way of Halifax with $10,
30,000 in gold bullion. Among the

mission.
Hoover Club at Louisville

club, the first in Kentucky, is being

MUNICIPAL BONDS
CAUSE OF WORRY
TO CITY COUNCIL
Commissioners Tipped Improve
ments Cannot Be Floated
Mayor Is Care Free.
Serious consideration to the sale
of the following municipal bonds, is
being given by the city council: "
Intersection, $100,000; sewer,
$200,000; park, $50,000; jail, $100,000;
district street Improvement, $400,
000. Commissioner Ure, superintendent
of the department of accounts and
finance, advised the council yester
day morning that he has not deemed
it advisable to publicly offer these
bonds for sale in the face of private
information that the bonds cannot
be floated.
Mayor's Worries Over.
Commissioner Towl brought the
subject before the council by asking
Mayor Smith if he believed - that
Burns-Brinker & Co., who have of
fered to take the gas bonds, would
also take these public improvement
bonds, whereupon the mayor said
his worries over bonds were ended
when he brought the gas bond sit
uation to asuccessful conclusion.
Commissioner Towl announced
that approximately $500,000 of pav
ing and sewer work must necessari
ly be held up until the money is in
sight through the sale of the bonds.
"One contractor has asked us to
relieve him of six contracts which
were awarded to him, but the con
tracts for which have not been sign
ed," Mr. Towl explained. "This
contractor stated that the awards
were made in October and added
that the increase of prices of ma
terials has given him a feeling of
uncertainty."
"I do not favor offering these
bonds for sale unless we have some
assurance that we can sell them,"
Mr. Ure stated. "There seems to
be a difference of opinion among
bond men as to whether conditions
will improve during the next few
months."
Mayor Smith suggested that a
campaign of education should be
adopted to inspire confidence of pri
vate investors in the advantages of
municipal bonds.
"Omaha is as sound as any bank,"
themayor asserted.

Atlantic Seaboard: or Pershing, hnm
in Missouri, educated in Nebraska, and a resident of
this state for years f
If this were ihe only question involved in the forth
coming primaries, it s,hould be enough to assure an
overwhelming majority for John J. Pershing.
But there are oiherand equally firm reasons whv
Pershing is the logical candidate, not only for this
State, but for the United States as a whole.
He is the one candidate on whom all factions qan
unite. '

His record during 30 years of service to the American people bears
not a stain of self-interest nor of personal aggrandizement.
He has demonstrated that, as a business executive, a statesman, a
diplomat, and anja'dmmistrator, he is able to
master the most difficult and crucial problems. ,
The nation needs John J. Pershing. Let Ne- -
