Deming and Camp Cody will today

ton, secretary of the British war
cabinet, Ex-Governor Leslie M. Shaw
of IOwa,who served as secretary Of
the treasury under President ROose-

of the federal land bank at Omaha,
all Of whom are winding up a tour
of the country in the interest Of the
third Liberty Loan. General Swim

gcther; Mr.. Shaw's schedule merely
chances 10 touch theirs at this point.
All three Of the visitors will address
meetings this afternoon and evening
at the Cody theater and the Pine
street tabernacle. The meeting at the
Cody is set for $3.50; that at the tab
ernacle for 500. Both meetings are
free to the public and il is hoped that
big crowd will turn out 10 hear the
speakers, secondary purpose Of the
two gatherings being 10 honor Gen
eral Swinton, who is one Of the few
who have achieved any particular in
dvidual fame from the present war,
in which armies are only machines
and men automatOns. He it was who
invented the famous tanks" with
which the British terrOrized the Huns
ON the western front for a long time
before the latter could produce any
thing to offset it, and which still have
very important part in the fighting
4 saying Of General Byng's, going
into the battle at Cambria, has be.
come as famous as Admiral Nelson's
at Trafalgar. Nelson said, "Eng-
land expects every man to do his
duty" Byng said, England expects
every tank to do its d--dest." That
the tanks did just that is evidenced
by the fact that they are given al
most sole credit for that victory.
