'The lihre of the rrgiikr army ha

I'crshiiig Mid. "by the strain placed
upon it, not only in time of war but
in time of peace, when it hat had
to ithtand the onslaught made
upon it in the name of economy or
pacifism."
Efficiency is Lowered,
'ftefrrring to the "frequent ulafclK"
in army strength maIe by congres
siince the war, ticneral l'ershing said,
"acillating" course with reipcct to
army per.ionnrl discouraged compet
ent men from entering the srrvice
and lowered morale and efficiency
within the army until it was "dif
ficult if not impossible to ue to 1
vantage the services of even the best
of such personnel."
"But whatever congress may see
fit to grant," the chief of staff added,
"the army will, as it always has, ap
ply itself to giving the nation as
much national defense as it can. It
will not quit, no matter how badly
crippled.
"It does a.lc, however, not through
self-interest but in the interests of
the country, that its missions, its
personnel and its means of accom
plishing the missions be given some
permanency, and that it he permit
ted, through continuity of effort, to
tive the country a full return for its
.expenditures for national defense."
Telia of Disposition.
General Pershing made no direct
reference to the proposal to slash
overseas garrisons, but in explaining
the missions of the garrisons he
made it clear that the War depart
ment does not believe that the forces
in Hawaii or Panama can be re
duced with safety and that there is
no thought in the department of re
ducing the Philippine garrison until
the various treaties worked out by
the Washington conference become
effective.
Outlining the disposition now
made of the armv under the author
isation for 150,000 men and 13,000
officers, which Secretary Weeks has
asked for the coming year, the chief
of stalf said that "the organized
citizen soldiery it our main line of
national defense."
-"In time of war," he added, "be
hind the thin outpost line of pro
fssionat soldiers, the standing army,
it must mobilize, complete its train
ing and take the held."

There it po fury liVe that of a
woman whote love is aionied. One
derrted attrr a m-weea' honey
moon. Or whose widowcJ moth
er's mite has been itulm.
"I hale him I I could mi ire his
nrckP cried Florence Johiuon of
David City, Neb, one of the 10
known, ea-Hi'vet of aiah Moore,
alias lames A. Vaughn, abas J low
ard Wilson and a lull doien more
sliau. now under arrent in Indt
anapolis.
Hut the half sob in which ber
voire broke belied the venom of her
words. Ami spoke of a broken
llheil
"lie ought to tie put in the pen for
hfe I'll ratify myself if ran add
50 years to his sentence," added the
tricked woman. She watted a year
vigil on the undeserving scamp.
"I loved him dearly loved him
more after I married him than I did
before he was so good to me. to
my boy and to mother, she con
fided. "Hut I suppose I ought to be
thankful, lie might have killed us,
like that beaut of a Landru in
France, or he might have kidnaped
my boy for spite. Now I'm glad he
went when he did. There might
have been children"
Never Doubted Him. .
And she shuddered with the dread
conjured up at the thought.
Then an ironic sense of humor
rose to her rescue.
"I think we discarded wives ought
to form a society for the compari
son of our experiences with that
bird. Wouldn t it be unique? I
wonder what we would call our
selves?" And born of the thought
"I wonder if any of the others
would be such fools as to stick by
him, in this trouble?" she pondered.
"Not me!"
"It would be a dramatic spectacle
if we could all (ace him in court. J
bet he'd pass away then!"
The same feminine impulse to up
braid him for his misdeeds; to wither
him with a good woman's scorn for
all the anguish he caused her daugh
ter, stirs the heart of her aged
mother, who mortgaged her little
cottage in David City to provide the
$700 with which Vaughn decamped.
"He told us he was going to buy
the Tetersen-regau bakery in Oma
ha. We never doubted him. Since
then we've learned that that bakery
is one of the largest in Omaha."
"Move to Omaha."
The deserted wife heard never a
word from him since the Saturday
night in May, 1920, when he kissed
her goodby at the little David City
depot as he boarded a train for
Omaha to buy the bakery.
"I'll be back Monday; then we'll
pack and move to Omaha," were his
farewell words.
But "Monday" stretched into a
year and longer, in which time the
wife exhausted every means of her
limited income in a vain effort to
trace him. Then she brought suit
for divorce.
"I was afraid he'd bob up again
some day under arrest for passing
bogus checks like he did here before
he left. So I decided to wash my
hands of him," she explained.
David City friends who have
known and respected the Johnson
family for over a score of years
were very kind to her after her un
fortunate experience.
Merchants accepted the return ot
Vaughn's only gift to her a coat
on which no payment had been made.
He won her, too, by his kindness to
her 12-year-old son Neal, by a
former marriage. He bought the lad
an entire new outfit of clothes, even
to a pocket handkerchief, lor all ot
which the mother too paid eventually.
Wearied of Fighting.
'I wasn't so keen to marry again
after my first unfortunate marriage,''
said Mrs. Johnson. "But he was so
attractive, had such lovely, refined
manners. And I've been working so
long to support myself and my boy.
I was tired of fighting the battloJ
alone.- I realized I wasn't getting
younger and if I was. ever to marry
again, then was the time.
My mother liked him too. con
tinued the woman's recital. "So did
his employer and the best people in
town church people included so I
couldn't see where I was making a
mistake.
"He seemed so happy, too. Said
he never knew what real home life
was before. He used to tell mother
how much he appreciated and how
cozy everything was in our home,
after living among strangers so long.
Then he made lovely plans for our
future. I was very, very happy 1"
Vaughn was a "man without
faults." He neither drank, smoked,
gambled or used bad language.
"He was too goodl" piped up Mrs.
Johnson's small sister, of high school
the mother-in-law, whose
money Vaughn took, has nothing but
highest praise for his manners.
Wouldn't Tolerate Jaw.
"If he was no gentleman, I don't
know what the word is," said the
elder Mrs. Johnson, who is the
widow of a former prominent mer
chant. "I never met a more refined,
agreeable person. He even wouldn't
tolerate jazz music. He preferred
high class, either classical or sacred
music."
It was this love of good music
which first drew Vaughn and her
daughter together. The younger
woman plays and sings in the church
choir and Vaughn, who has a fine
baritone voice, sjent many pleasant
hours in practice with her.
Other David City girls envied Mrs.
Johnson her "catch of the town's
most eligible new bachelor. He was
a Harvard graduate, he told them,
and so good looking, tall, slender,
dark-haired and blue-eyed, and al
ways so well dressed, they said.
He wore glasses, but not to correst
his vision, his ex-wife now believes.
"I think it was part of a. disguise
he tried to assume, she said.
The deserted wife followed many
fruitless trails to find her missing
husband. Once when' she read a
Jim Vaughn was under arrest in
This it Isaiah Moore of many
aliases, wonder wooer of many
wives, a wizard in the speed of hia
courting and escaping with their
money and a master in the art of
baking as welL
Here, too, is the David City girl,
Florence Johnson, whom he duped,
and the second-hand runabout he
used in preiatnjr hit love suit. He
sold it, too, before he decamped.
Moore waived preliminary exam
Ination in the Indtanapolii city court
and wts held to the grand jury
under $5,000 bond. He appeared in
a highly nervous condition when he
came into court, twitching and jerk
ing constantly.
Later, when questioned In his cell
regarding hit frequent marriage,,;
Moore said. "I think it was all due
to my nervoui condition. It teems
that at long at I wat petted and
.'babied' my condition wat improved.
At other timet I would feel de
pressed and lonely and want to run
away. Then I would find someone
else and fall in love with them for a
time."
PS
Creston, la., on an auto theft charge,
she made a day and a night trip
there, with her brother. But it was
not her Jim Vaughn.
Such Caket Such Piesf
"Even my brother, Orville John
son, employed by the state railway
commission in Lincoln and who was
an officer in the tank corps in France
and who knows men. was completely
deceived by my husband. He said
he never met a man with a franker,
more open countenance, who looked
yoo squarely in the eye when you
talked to him. If one is not to trur-t
a man like that, who then, should
one trust? she appealed piteously.
G. V. Gates, Vaughn's employer
in David City, echoed the same sen
timents. "I told him to help himself to $10
from my cash register the night he
left. I would just as soon have
given him $500 if he asked .for it, I
trusted him so." i
"And he was such an expert baker,
too," mourned Gates. "The best
one that ever came to these parts.
Such bread! Such cakes! Such pies!"
'"And such a scoundrel," finished
Mrs. Johnson as she turned wearily
back to her linotype machine.
She must continue to work for her
living and that of her boy. And to
pay back to her mother what her
husband stole.

The huge Burlington office build
ing, called a hreproot structure, held
the fire from spreading westward.
Progress of the flames to the south
was arrested by the facilities firemen
were abe to muster by flocking to
the tops of the smaller buildings
there two to six stories high and
thus increasing the range of their
water streams.
A vacant lot, the site of the pro

fire from spreading northward.

had the wind veered the sweep of
the flames toward the retail business

James McGovern of Insurance

He was hit by a falling wall and died
at a hospital.
Heat from the burning buildings
across the street cracked out the
windows of the Mercantile Trust
and Savings bank before thd Bur
lington building itself was afire. A
heavy police guard was thrown about
the bank building, but the men were
driven away quickly when the build
ing caught fire. Cash and securities
valued at approximately $6,000,000
are said to be in the bank s vaults
and it may be several days before
they can be examined. ,
The Burlington building ' caught
fire at about the eighth story and
burned up and down. No streams of
water were powerful enough to figjit
the fire in the upper stories.

The Van Buren street tunnel of
the Chicago surface lines under the
Chicago river debouches just at the
burned area and for hours a stream
of water pourtfd into the tunnel until
it was filled to street level.
The Union depot mail terminal
was not reached bj the flames, but
postal employes hurriedly removed
all mail when it appeared that the
fire district could not be restricted.
25,000 Made Jobless.
The Mercantile Trust and Savings
bank later announced that the cash
and securities in its vaults were
amply protected by heavy steel, ce

they were quite safe. Arrangements
were made to have another bank take
care of its business until new quar

in the heat and the hot blast, break

the interior decorations in many

It was estimated that more than

found that he had paid $2.50 for a
pint of water, his angry denuncia

Muller is said to have included the
police in his disgust and disappoint

When the officer turned to disperse
the parade, Muller twisted from his

you have finished writing, if it's
a genuine Redipoint the lead
snaps up into the barrel in
stantly out of harm's way. The
Automatic Pushback does it.
Redipoint is the only pencil
which thus protects its lead and
your clothing from damage.
Insist on this feature in the
pencil you buy. It's your assur
ance of better writing service
the certain test of a genuine
Redipoint. '
Don't buy another pencil
until you've seen Redipoint.
Its many mechanical features
and refinements give you better
writing service. Yet it costs no
more than others.
