Pershing the Man
And General
Pershing

Miss Edna Perrin secretary OF
the Nebraska Women's Pershing
organization, has issued the follow
ing appeal to women of the state
For the first time the women of
Nebraska have been accorded the
same privilege Of voting possessed
by the men, with the exception of
the vote for constitutional officers.
Prohting by the experience which
men have had in politics, the wom-
en- OF Nebraska have an opportunity
to make their acceptance of this
privilege great impelling force for
good. {
To accomplish this, we must,
from the very start, participate ac-
lively and intelligcntly in the poll
tics OF our state. Politics is no
longer a game. Political activity is
a duty which all of us owe to our
selves and to our country. The es-
adjustment and maintenance of
good government is duty which so
directly affects our home, our FAM
lily and our children. our life, health,
pleasures and prosperity. that it is
incumbent upon each of US to work
for securing the best government
obtainable.
We women of Nebraska, in our
>advent into matters political, have
an excellent opportunity to prove
that we are entitled to the privilege
Of voting. We have, in John J..
-Pershing as a candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, fellow
citizen who has distinguished him
self before the entire world If the
women of Nebraska will enlist
whole. heartedly in securing the re-
publican nomination for president
OF our own Nebraskan, General
Pershing, there is no question but
that victory will be ours. Having
successfully led Americas gallant
forces in the recent war and demon
strated his ability and the qualifica-
tons he possesses for this high Of
flee, he is entitled to our support.
You have known Pershing as a
fearless soldier and leader. Few
of you know Pershing the man. Be-
cause of the rigors of military CEN
sorship, most of the information
concerning Pershing's activity
abroad did not reach this country.
In the interest of efficiency. and
without the slightest regard for per-
sonal popularity, the great human
side of the man was covered with
a mask Of strict army discipline. I,
His first great interest was in win
ming the war, but there was never
a time when he did not have the
deepest and most conscientious re-
gard for the welfare of the meh
under him. His constant endeavor
was to develop the highest possible
standard of morals among them.
and to perpetuate the ideals they
held when they left home. Realizing
the ennobling influence which re-
ligion has on men laboring under
the difficulties of army life, he gave
every facility to organizations which
would work for the boys spiritual
welfare. He gave help also to every

sweetheart, OF the boys in Americas
army may we'll thank God that it
was Pershing rather than a poll
tican or popularity seeker who led
their boys in France. As we en-
trusted our boys and the interests of
our country to his safe keeping in
France, we can, and we should.
trust him with the welfare of the
nation for the coming four years.

their physical comforts. There were
difficulties and discomforts to be
borne, but he made every effort to
minimize these to the greatest pos
sible extent.
The women OF America trusted
their boys to Pershing's care in
France. He discharged that trust
with credit to himself and to his
country. In directing the move

conclusion at least a year before
the allied leaders thought it possible

Invisible War Vessels.

Owing to the enormous range and
accuracy of modern naval guns 1t Is
highly important for small war craft
which depend upon speed rather than
armor plate to weather the attacks OF
the enemy to render themselves as In
visible as possible. Heretofore dark
gray paint has been considered the best
color to apply to a war vessel. Now
experiments are being made with va
rieties of colors. Ideas are being Dor
rowed from the mimicry Of nature.
We find certain animals coated with
spotted fur and other ones upon the
nature Of their environment. In ex'
actly the same way certain naval au,
thorities are trying to render torpedo
boats invisible by painting wavy
stripes on them, which at great dis
lance are scarcely distinguishable from
the natural wave formation Of the
oceans surface.
