New Highway Planned From South to Connect With Present Roads Wahoo, 'Neb., May 11. (Special.) The commercial clubs of Nebraska City, Ashland and Wahoo ye pro moting a new marked highway from Nebraska City to Ashland and Wa hoo and then northwest to tap the Lincoln highway at either Schuyler or Columbus This highway is planned to accommodate the in creasing number of tourists coming from the south who are already traveling this route and make direct connections from the Washington highway with the Cornhusker high way at Wahoo and with the O. L. D. highway at Ashland and with the Lincoln highway and also with the Meridian highway at Columbus. The original intention of the pro moters of this highway was to route it from Wahoo northwest through Prague, Malmo, Abie, Linwood and Schuyler, but, owing to a lack of interest from the Schuyler end of the route, and a very decided effort on the part of David City road en thusiasts, there is a strong possi bility of its being routed west from Wahoo through Weston, Brainard, David City and Bellwood to Colum-; bus. President Orders ) To Navy Made Public ' (Continued From First Pae.) officer or the oldest, but I want the officers of this navy to have the distinction of saying how this war is goinj? to be won. Urged Any Extreme. "I am willing to make, any sacri fice for that I am ready to put myself at the disposal of any officer in the navy who thinks he knows how to run this war. . . . I will not undertake to tell you whether he does or not, because I know that I- do not, but I will un dertake to put him in communica tion with1 those who can find out whether his idea will work or not. I have the authority to do that and I will do it with the greatest pleasure. "I wish that 1 could think and had the brains to think in the terms of marine warfare, because 1 would feel then that I was figuring out the future history of the political free dom of mankind. I do not see how any man cam look at the flag of the United States, and fail having his mind crowded with reminiscences of the number of unselfish men, seeking no object of their own, the advantage of no dynasty', the advan tage of no group of privileged peo ple, but the advantage of his fellow men who have died under the folds of that beautiful emblem. I wonder if men who do die under it realize the distinction they have. Throw Away Tradition. "We have got to throw tradition to the wind. "As I have said, gentlemen, I take it for granted that nothing that I say here will be repeated, and, there fore, I am going to say this: Every time we have suggested anything to the British admiralty the reply has come back that virtually amounted to this, that it had never been done that way, and I felt like saying, 'Well, nothing was ever done so sys tematically as nothing is being done now." Therefore, I should like to see something unusual happen, something that was never done be fore; and inasmuch as the things that are being done to you were never done before, don't you think it is worth while to try something that was never done before against those who are doling them to you? "There is no other way to win. America is the prize ama teur 'nation of the world. Germany is the prize professional nation of the world. Now, when it comes to doing new things and doing them well. I will- back the amateur against the professional every time. He knows so little about it that he is fool enough to try the right thing. The men that do not know the dan ger are the rashest men. Prudence Not Wanted. "Please leave out'of your vocabu lary altogether the word 'prudent.' ; Do the thing that is . au dacious to the utmost point of risk and daring, because that is exactly the thing that the other side does not understand.
