FORMER OMAHAN
IS IMPRESSED BY
BIG new PLANE
Colonel Henry B. Hersey Says
:. ..nscontinentaI Airship Is
Best That He Has
Ever Seen.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 16-Col.
Henry B. Hersey, formerly of
Omaha, an authority on aeronau-
tics, is much impressed with the
new Lawson transcontinental air
ship, which soon will start its fight
across the country.
In an interview recently with Ed
gar w. Croft Milwaukee corre-
spondent for The Bee, he said:
"I have seen on this side, and
on the other side, great many Of
the biggest and best airplanes that
have been constructed, but I was
tremendously surprised when | saw
this one of Mr.. Lawson's. Its size,
its excellence of construction. and
its completeness of every detail, are
really marvellous. I have great
faith in its success.
"The comforts available in its
large. roomy cabinet should make
It very popular with all air travel
ers."
Colonel Hersey established a
United States army balloon school
At Omaha, and he has been con-
nected with air work since 1906.
He was with the Walter Wellman
expedition which started out to
reach the north pole. On that oc-
casion he was sent by the govern
ment and was made executive officer
by Mr.. Wellman. They started out
for Spitzbergen and were camped
at one time at a point nearly 1000
miles inside the Arctic circle.
Colonel Hersey also went over to
France in 1918 and houorganized a
staff of instructors and army Off
GERS. He has had the unique ex-
perience of dropping from bal
loon with parachute and he
taught others to do the same thing.
Referring to Omaha, the colonel
said: Il understand that one Of
the principal stops is to be at Oma-
ha. and l must certainly say that
the company could not have Sc
lected better city for that purpose
anywhere. Its people are public
spirited, willing and able to help in
any project, and it is city which
all travellers will thoroughly enjoy
visiting"

would be no possible way to retain
the policy of Monroe. Whatever
may be said to the contrary as a
matter of theory, in practice these
two policies must stand or fall TO-
eether. If we interfere in Euro
pean affairs it must inevita bly, follow
as a practical proposition that Eu-
rope will interfere in American al
fairs. Madison, Jefferson and Nor
roe and all subsequent ADVOCATES Of
the Monroe doctrine understood this
Perfectly So we sacrifice the two
great principles which have dis
tinguished us for nearly $50 years
and which have enabled US to be-
come a nation with common pur-
poses, common ideals and aspira-
tons.
No Sacrifices by Allies.
"On the other hand, what sacrifices
have Great Britain, France and ia
pan made? Great Britain has &C
quired territory equal in area to that
which we secured by the Louisiana
purchase. She has acquired domin-
ion over additional people to the
amount of 100000. She has re-
tanned her policy of the supremacy
of the sea unmodihed and unchal-
lenged which is and has been the
basis of her foreign policy. In addi-
ton to this she secures the United
States as the underwater of her
possessions scattered in every part
of the globe. France, on the other
hand, rejected the league of rations
as insufficient and secures her spe-
cial alliance which the president con-
femned as the fomentor of war and
in this special alliance for the
first time in history the United States
becomes a partner. Japan gets
Shantung and her dominion over
100000 Cinnamon which is the
first step in the complete dismem-
berment and control of the Chinese
empire. And all these things, these
material acquisitions the United
States pledges the blood of her
young men to underwrite and per-
petuate. 1t is an outrageous, hid
eous betrayal of the fundamental
principles of the American republic
and of our American civilization"

BAPTISTS HERE
'OVERTOP' WITH
FUND CAMP AICN

The Baptist debt-paying campaign
inaugurated in Americas Sunday by
DR.. Rufus w. Weaver, president OF
Mercer University, has aroused much
enthusiasm, and DR.. Carl w. Minor
pastor of First Baptist congregation,
stated this afternoon that Americas
quota of $1,000 undoubtedly will be
quickly oversubscribed.
With a quota of thousand dollars
to be raised by Baptists of the two
congregations, DR.. Minor said, $740
was pledged before IL o'clock this
morning by the members of First
church alone. This, added to the
$268.50, raised previous to the inaugu-
ration Of the campaign by Central Bap-
fist congregation, insures Americas
complete quota, but if Americas is to
rank along with other cities in Geor.
gia, much larger sum must be sub
scribed here
DR.. Minor received letter from DR.
Arch McCree, state director of the
campaign, stating many towns and cit
les have already largely over-subscrib-
I'd their quota. Athens has raised al
ready over $4,000 and workers there
are going after $4,000; Cordele teams
have $4,000 in sight; Macon will in
crease gifts to 100000; the faculty and
students of Mercer University have
raised $500 over their goal Of $4,000;
several teams at Rome are striving
with fine results to reach their aim of
$4,000; Colquit county Baptists, lea
by Moultrie workers, have arranged to
raise $4,000, which will cancel the
debt on Norman Institute, and mem
bers of the denomination around Crit
I'm and Locust Grove have cancelled
the $4,000 debt on Locust Grove In
stitute, DR.. McCree's communication
states.
Other towns reporting over the
top" already include Plains, Reynolds,
Vienna, Cuthbert and Shellman, in this
section of the state, and many others
In other sections. In order to permit
the greatest results possible to be at
tanned, the campaign will be contin-
ued until March LIST, when final reports
from all workers are expected to be
made. Rev. George F. Brown, of Cen
trail Baptist congregation, said this af-
ternoon that he expected to secure sew
eral substantial donations today and
that the report for his congregation

Thieves broke into and ransacked

last night and seven this morning.
At 1880 this morning Sheriff Glover
was notified that a robbery had been
committed and Immediately the blood
hounds we're dispatched to the spot.
The trail led TO a house in the rear
Of Spence street and that clue is now
being investigated.
A quantity of woolens was stolen
and the desk ransecked but nothing
Of value was found there. An ANA
flourish attempt was also made to
open the safe which contained a sum
Of money but beyond a few marks in
dicating the use Of hammer, no
damage was done.
Entrance was gained by breaking a
window in the rear Of the store which
was left open causing the pressing
machine to freeze up and requiring
several hours work to thaw it out.
Manager L, F. Laughrey is congrat-
ulatIng himself because a large guam

any, clothes belonging to customers
were stolen,

believe that the robbery was commit
ted about midnight on account Of the

GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT WAR

EVERYBODY hopes that the Great war was the last,
Ia but we don't know. Anyway. there is evidence thai
Uncle Sam isn't going to be caught mapping if there is
next time For example, up on top Of Mt PocOnO in
Pennsylvania, the government has built magazine and
in this we are storing millions and millions Of pounds Of
INT, the explosive that made things fly during the recent
International conflict herel be mountain less if that
magazine on old Mt. Pocono ever lets go.
The higher arplane a:csnds the more the motor loses
speed At height of 10000 feet-about four miles
the average gas engine gives only IS per cent of its power
at the ground level The military sharks are agreed thai
most of the air fighting in the next will be at Is DOC
feet, or about FIVE miles up. Accordingly Uncle Sam:
air service is experimenting daily in effort 10 make en-
gns that will not lose so much power at great heights L
appears that they are succeeding witness the recent gh
Of Major Schroeder. u S. A. who reached an altitude
Of nearly $4,000 feet and whose engine, capable Of 81
miles an hour at the ground level, showed speed of "a
miles at the height Of over six miles
OF course we are all glad hear Of great scientific
success but it is disgusting to realize at the time thai
fear of another war was the moving power behind the
achievement.
