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. "
