U. S. IN WAR WILL Be
HELP TO BUSINESS
Will Set ALI the Factories to
Humming and Leave No
Men Out of Work.
BILLIONS BACK TO PEOPLE

Increased instead OF restricted pur-
chasing power, an extraordinary
boom in general business and conse-
uuent countrywide prosperity are the
optimistic prophecies OF business men
who are Analysing the situation
brought about by the entrance OF the
United States into the war.
One of these prophets Of optimism
is Harry NJ. Jewett, president OF the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company.
His comment was the result OF GER
tain pertinent questions that had been
put up to him to answer. He was
asked, for example, what effect the
war would have on business in gen
eral. He was also asked if there would
be a hold-up in the production OF
automobiles and other commercial
products, whether the equipment by
the United States Of an army Of two
million men and the financing OF five
billions OF dollars would not seriously
affect the financial condition of the
country. Finally, he was asked the
significant question whether the pur-
chasing power OF the people would
be contracted to certain degree. His
answers were not only fiat denial
of any harmful results, but an enthu-
siastic and confident declaration Of
optimism based on convincing facts
and logic.
"Thc financing of five billions of
dollars by the government is some-
thing that should have been started
years ago" said Mr.. Jewett. THE
government should have continued to
spend for our army, navy and coast
defense until this country was in a
position of absolute impregnability.
THE spending of two billions for
our own defense, which seems to be
the present plan, is not matter OF a
day or a month. 1t takes time to
equip all army Of two million men,
but our factories are equal to the
emergency. The money used is only
released for circulation, as it comes
back to the people in wages and
through the purchase OF raw and fin
ished products. As for the proposed
loan of three billions OF dollars to
the Allies, the financing OF this opera
ton will not be >felt in the United
States.
"The United States government can
raise five billion dollars and keep on
with several billion more without con-
tracing the purchasing power Of the
people to the extent that general bust
ness will feel the sting, for it takes
time to spend these billions and in the
meantime the people of the United
States will be getting that much more
economic wealth. Instead OF con-
tracting business, the war is going to
increase business. 1t will give the
people of the United States that much
more purchasing power.
what is making good times?
Every factory in the country running
10 full capacity, every laboring man
getting top-notch wages and every
factory selling its product at a fair
profit; every farmer getting top-notch
prices for his grain and cattle. Why
should anyone think under these con-
ditions, that there is going 10 be any
contracting in the purchasing power
of the peoplei The people have the
money and they want manufactured
materials OF all kinds"

LEWIS GUN COOLS :
LIKE A FRANKLIN
Wonderful Success of This
Rapid Fire Machine Due to
This Principle.
IT WAS ONCE REJECTED

The international success achieved
by the Lewis machine gun promises
to have influence far wider than the
expectations of its inventor and
hackers.
In the automobile field its counter
part is found in the motor OF Frank
lin cars, and the Franklin company
has been quick to take advantage OF
the opening, The automobile concern
points to the results attained by this
gun in the tough campaigns along
the western battle line in France as
another practical demonstration of
the efficiency of air-cooling.
observers with the French and
English army report that this light,
air-cooled machine gun, which can be
carried and operated by one man, has
enabled the allies to hold positions
where it would have been difficult to
carry more cumbersome water-cooled
machine guns. Furthermore, they
have been equally effective in Of

Was Once Rejected.
The Lewis gun was rejected by the
United States before the war in Eu-
rope, but its success in actual opera
ton against Germany and her allies
has led the United States government
to take up new tests and, according
to present indications, it will be
adopted here in both the army and
navy.
Looking at the cooling system Of
the Lewis machine gun, it can be
seen that the Franklin principle has
been followed almost identically,"
states recent bulletin Of the automo-
bile company.
The bulletin adds that an idea of

is said that it can deliver from $50 to
$50 shots a minute, and yet 80 sue

under the most rigid tests the gun

Omaha TO Be Distribution Center
For the Luxurious Doris Auto

Arrangements have recently been
made by the Doris Motor Car Co.
TO make It's distribution headquarters
for the major portion OF four states
in Omaha under the direction OF II.
Fl. Cannon, who for several years has
been connected with the automobile
industry in Omaha and recently con-
nected with the Chalmers factory as
a representative OF the sales division.
Cannon's experience in automobile
circles dates back six years TO the
day OF the 2-cylinder cars and his
first sale was a 2.cylinder Mason
to Art Rogers of the Union Stock
Yards. At that time Cannon was
with Freeland Bros, who later put
their energy behind the 4-cylinder
Mason,
Cannon asserts that he has been
investigating the Doris for several
months and is thoroughly convinced
that the car will be an easy favorite
in this territory. The truck end of
the business holds forth equally good
promise in his judgment.
The headquarters Of the Doris
Motor Car Co. will be at 245-6-7
Omaha National Bank building.
Concurrent with an increase OF cap
ital of 100000, the Doris Motor
Car Co. OF st. Louis has come under
new and very aggressive manage
ment, and 1t is clearly apparent that
much will be heard Of the "Luxur-
ious Doris" this season.
The incoming president, w. B. Col
cord, founder OF the Colcord-Wright
Machinery Co. and director Of the
Franklin Bank, states that the capital
increase is for the purpose Of en-
larging the Doris plant to provide
for a greatly increased output He

The spring rains have followed the
route OF the little car since it left

All along the coast the trailblazers
report the states are filled with ac-

and everywhere there is a spirit Of

MAY SEIZE U. S. RAILROADS
Transportation System of America Is
Bending and May Break Under
Strain of First Year at War.

Washington, Oct. 13-"The exigen-
cies of war may force government own
ership of the American railroads in the
near future" says statement issued
on Friday. by the conference commit
tee on national preparedness.
mot only is ship tonnage made
quate for wars demand, but the whole
transportation system of America is
bending and may break under the
strain OF OR first year at war.
with crops not yet moving free
ly, with only a fraction of our new
army sent from home, with our whole
national war effort yet implanted and
unmeasured, war production is already
hampered by shortage of cars and To-
comotives, lack of ample terminal
storage and other facilities.
perhaps the only step that the rail-
road people could take to postpone
government ownership for any length
of time would be very broad-minded
and general attitude on their part in
contributing their facilities to the COM
munity service (under conditions of
sale or lease or perhaps pooling),
where such facilities were needed to de-
velop transportation facilities, which
in the past would have been consid-
cred competitive to the individual
road.
Nothing short of the combined To-
cal and national effort can prevent our
present transportation facilities from
proving utterly inadequate to meet
the needs for carrying this war to a
speedy decision. The toll, therefore,
which this nation must pay in blood
of its children will be measured by the
general interest and initiative in the
transportation field"

TWO HOMERS MADE BY KAUFF

Team to Victory.

Polo Grounds, n. Y, Oct. IMAM
ager Rowland's plans of winning the
worlds series for the White Sox from
the Giants with only two pitchers Ed
die CicOtte and Urban Faber, were
knocked silly when the National league
champions came hack with another
terrific punch and evened up the series
by winning the fourth game, 5 to 0.
The official attendance was announced
at 27,746.
kauff Makes First Home Run.
Benny Kauff, the hero of the contest,
was the one who took all the starch
out of Faber with home run wallop
in the fourth inning.
Neither team had scored and the
Giants had not been able to CLEAN even
oge hit from Faber's effective pitching.
There were two out when Benny came
up. Faber "grooved" one and Kauff
leaned on the ball with all his might.
The hit was high but long and the
force behind it caused Happy Felsch to
despair of a catch.
The ball rebounded from the center
field fence and began bobbing around
slight embankment. Felsch made
three grabs before he could clutch the
pill. and when it finally was started
back toward the diamond Kauff was
rounding third base. He slid home,
but that was not necessary, as the play
was not even close. AS Kauff walked
to the bench he was presented with
$50 Liberty bond, which was offered
by Clara Kimball Young for the first
home run of the series.
Home Run Shock to Faber.
Faber never fully recovered from the
shock that Kauff gave him. He was
bumped for four singles in the next
round, but escaped with only one run
when Rariden hit into a double play
at the plate and first base.
Again in the sixth the Giants threat
ened, but Faber crawled out with
shaky in the seventh when he I'M
corked a wild pitch that advanced a
runner from first to third base and
then hit the next batter.
Though the Giants had lead of 3
to O going into the eighth, they were
not on easy street until Kauff delivered
his second home run. Dave Danforth
was manhandled by the Giants in that
round.
kauff Poles Out Second Homer.
Danforth, who opposed the Giants in
the first half of the eighth, relieved
Faber after Risberg had batted for the
latter. Danforth started by tanning
Burns, but HerZog smashed clean
single to center. In his anxiety to
drive Herzeg around, Kauff took two
cuts at bad balls and registered misses.
With the count two and nothing
against Benny, the spectators were I'M
prepared for what followed. DAN
forth evidently figured he could sneak
over a third strike. He lay in Kauffs
alley and once more the ball arose for
a high, long flight, this time to right
field.
John Collins placed his back against
the concrete wall and raised his arm,
but the ball just slipped over the high
barrier and was seized as a souvenir.
Herzog and Kauff trotted around the
bases and scored.
