WAR GIVES CHANCE
TO Be PRESIDENT
Most Of the Country's Chief
Executives Have Won Re-
nown on Battlefields.
1920 MAY BE REPEATER
BY A. r. GRoH.

ny IA N. 8NS11s
Do you want to be elected presi.
dent OF the United States? Then you
can add greatly to your chances by
going into the army. .. 49,.
1t is likely, providing we get &C.
lively into the war. that the candi-
dates for president in 1920 will be
men shining with military glory.
The history Of our country shows
that every war we have had has pro-
duced a president and some of them
have produced two or three. Some
soldiers star is probably leading him
to the White House now. Glance
over our history.
George Washington was a colonel
OF volunteers at the beginning Of the
revolution.
The battle Of New Orleans brought
fame to "Old Hickory" Jackson and
landed him i'll the White House.
Rough and Ready" General Taylor
made himself president in the Mexi-
can war. The casting OF the ballots
was mere formality that came later
Civil War His Opportunity.
When the civil war started there
was modest little man in St. Louis
in the leather business. He also used
to haul loads of wood in to town and
sell them. The civil war was his op-
portunity and this modest little coun-
try man, whose name was Ulysses S.
Grant, occupied the White House for
eight years. He was received with
highest honor in the courts OF the
world when he made globe-circling
trip. The most splendid tomb OH this
continent marks his resting place.
Theodore Roosevelt, with the aid Of
his Rough Riders in the Spanish
American war, gained the popular
fame that made him president.
A young man enlisted as a private
IN an Ohio regiment at the beginning
OF the civil war. He gained distinc-
tion for bravery and rose through all
the ranks to be assistant adjutant
general. He was elected president
thirty years after the war closed. His
name was William Mckinley.
In that very same Ohio regiment
was another soldier, an officer named
Rutherford B. Hayes, who also be-
came president.
At Battle of Tippeeanoe.
James A. Garfield was a colonel
and later a major general in the civil
war. William Henry Harrison gained
his pre-presidential fame when he won
the battle of Tippecanoe. Franklin
Pierce served in the Mexican war as
a colonel and brigadier general.
Abraham Lincoln had a short ca
reer as soldier in the Black Hawk
Indian war. James Monroe was in
the revolution for short period.
Men who rendered important serv-
ice as civilians in war time have
gained the presidency. John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson were among
these.
So in 1920, if we may judge the fu.
ture by the past, the two great politi-
cal parties will have as their standard
bearers men who won fame in the
great war. They may be men of whom
we have not yet heard, "John Doe,
hero of the battle of K" and
Richard Roe, the man who won the
battle OF -"
War is an unequaled maker of
great names, you see.

Young women who would be yeo-
manettes continue to futter into the
Offices of Lieutenant Waddell OF the
naval recruiting station, but there is
little, if any, chance for them to get
into this arm of the government serv-
ice.
The naval rules under which Lieu
tenant Waddell is working makes pro-
visions for two yeomanettes and no
more. These two enlisted several
days ago and there are no places
available for others unless the ranks
should become depleted.
The government order to cease
enlistments for service in the Officers
Reserve corps has brought some re-
lief to the officers around the Army
building. Applicants for positions
were numerous Thursday, but soon
the words "No more men wanted"
had been passed around and the rush
was over. 4
Enlistments for regular service
continue, but there is letup and not
so many men are filing applications
as few days ago. Captain McKin-
ley, however, does not consider this
a bad omen, going on the theory that
the desire to go to war runs in waves.
lie says that while there is no appar-
ent reason, for few days there may
not be man who will offer his serv-
ices and Immediately thereafter he
may be swamped with applications.
The war spirit has hit the general
Offices of the Woodmen of the World
and within the last two weeks twenty
five of the clerks have cast their lot
with Uncle Sam. They have gone
into the several arms OF the service.
the number in each being divided
about equally. .H
Though the clerks from the general
Offices of the Woodmen of the World
will be replaced by women while the
men are away, these women will not be
given permanent positions. The rule
with the general Offices is that when
the men return from war service they
will be given their old positions, or
others equally as remunerative.
John Haley, yeonlan connected with
the naval recruiting station and who
is out with the Union Pacific siIo spe-
cial, instead Of talking crop, is bend
ing his energies to secure enlistments
in the navy. His efforts are being
attended with results, for since Mon
day he has sent in ten young Ne
braskans to take the phi. steal exami-
nation.
Raley is loaded down with applica-
tons for enlistment and also carries
a quantity of literature pertaining to
naval service. When the train stops
at stations where the lecturers tell the
farmers what they should do to in
crease the number of bushels of grain
per acre, Raley gets out and tells the
men of the younger set how they can
increase the strength of Uncle Sans
