OMAHA GOOD SITE
FOR ARMY SCHOOL
Congressman Shallenberger Says
He Will Urge Location Here
if Choice is Made.
ALSO FINE FOR AN ARSENAL

(From Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-(Special
Telegram. Before the military af-
fairs committee of the house of rep
resentatives, of which Ex-Governor
Shallenberger is member and
chairman of the subcommittee deal
ing with arseIals. barracks and
grounds, the departmental bill for
the increase of the army was under
consideration today. While the bill
in it's general provisions was under
discussion two propositions came up
for extended confederation, namely
the need of schools other than West
Point for the training of young Of
ficers and the location or arsenals
and storage depots other than those
already established
Representative Shallenberger, who took
the liveliest positive interest in upbuild-
ing the militia when governor of Ne
brasks, said to The Bee correspondent
today
Omaha Is most splendidly located for
n ScnoOl patterned aIters ana along the
lines of West Point, and should the
bill now under consideration become a
law, / would certainly favor the loca-
ton of military school in the metropolis
of my state.
Fort Omaha is ideally located for a
school of military instruction, such as
the committee is now considering. 1t
has a geographical location that is splen-
did. and Is reached by network of rail-
roads of the very first Importance.
But there Is another subject receiving
the very serious consideration of the
committee and that is the establishment
OF government arsenals and armor plate
manufactures where war munitions could
be made more economically than by pr1-
Vate plants.
Outside of Rock Island our arsenals
and storage depots for war munitions are
located on our two seaboards and. there
fore, easy of access to invaders from
either ocean. Omaha, for the same reason
that applies to the location Of a military
school at that point, is equally we'll sit
uated for an arsenal or a great supply
depot and IL the government is going TO
create additional schools for the training
of young officers or is going to erect ad-
ditional arsenals for the manufacture of
the munitions of war, shall insist that
Omaha is an ideal location for either
project"
