''BRIDGEOF SHIPS >
PERSHING'S PLEA
"Let Everyone Think
Ships, His Message
to Americans

Washington, Feb. MAKE = a
bridge of ships" to France, was the
message from General Pershing and
every man Of his command, delivered
to the American people last night by
Maj. Frederick Palmer. chief censor
on General Pershing's stan, in an ad-
dress at the National Press club.
Build ships and let every woman
and child in the land think ships"
said he. I'VE ought to be wearing
little metal ships in our buttonholes.
CHILDREN ought to play with toy ships.
The woman who turns from knitting
10 encourage a ships riveter to do
more rtvets a day, is serving her
country. And every time you think
ships you are thinking OF our men
fighting for you in France. Would
you have them want for food, for
clothes, for ammunition to answer
the German fire?
would you have them think that
you had forgotten them-you in your
comfort at home? Would you have
the lives of such men unnecessarily
sacrificed because you had not con-
centrated your efforts on the thing
that meant more to them?
Toward our shipyards for the
power they mean during and after
the war the German general staff
strains its vision. Build, build, and
continue to build ships. Make a
bridge Of ships to Pershing".

were bound over to the county court,
on charges Of assault and battery.
Ball was fixed at 500 in each case.
Hoffman obtained Harry Idelkope
and Ben Hoffman, a brother, as his
bondsmen. Jolbo was committed to
the Cass county Jail.
Differences Of opinion as to the
length of time coffee should boil
caused Jobo and a man by the name
of Martin Brazo, to come to blows at
the Hoffman home, 302 Third avenue
north. Both Jobo and Brazo stayed
at the Hoffman home. According to
the story they told the police Jobo
wanted his coffee boiled 10 minutes
and Brazo minutes.
To stop the fracas that followed,
Hoffman, it is alleged, stepped into
the AFFAIR with a cane. Brazo was
picked up by a policeman in a badly
beaten condition and taken to the
police station. Hoffman and Jobo
were later arrested.
