More recently still, they were COM

Pershing was favored BY fortune.
Accept Challenge Willingly.
"The Pershing committee of Ne
braska in throwing down the gaunt-
let to the Wood campaigners de.
clare in statement given out that
they accept the Wood challenge
with enthusiasm.
Under the usual amenities of
politics, they say it has been Gus
tomary for candidates from other
states to concede to resident can
dldate his home state. General
Woods supporters have not seen
fit to observe this courtesy in Ne
braska and we are glad of it.
The hackers of General Wood,
recognizing that General Pershing
is everywhere steadily gaining
strength as a prospective presiden-
tial nominee, have announced their
purpose to check as far as possible
the growing Pershing sentiment by
starting campaign in Pershing's
home state.
Respected by the World.
"The Wood hackers have come
to realize that if General Pershing
is presented to the convention as a
candidate there will be no, stopping
him. The |lateht sentiment in all
parts of the country will have no
restrictions once Pershing's name
goes before the convention. The
Wood people know this and are
compelled to take action in the
hope of stemn,ing a tide that will
become resistless later on.
"Generat Pershing is gaining tre-
mendous strength in all parts of the
country. The people are realizing
the magnitude of his achievement
abroad in organization work and the
marvellous, manner in which he
handled problems relative to the
American foreign policy. He is
recognized over the entire world,
not only as soldier, but as
statesman, diplomat and business
executives of the highest order.
General Pershing is being con-
sidered as a prospective candidate
of the greatest potential strength
because he knows the inner aspect
of the international problems that
will soon require solution. He COM
mands the respect Of every nation
on the earth and no man can serve
these United States in the years
that lie Immediately ahead with the
same efficiency as he" the state

Expect Appeal to Fail.
1t is expected in official circles
here that this appeal will be dis
missed,
On the same day. Coles case will
come up before the United States
circuit court of appeals in St. Louis.
Attorney J. B. Priest, counsel for
Cole. stated today that he would
not appear In the st. Louis court to
argue Coles case. He sent full
transcript Of the case. to St. Louis
last week, sand declares that it is
not necessary for him to- appear.
Coles appeal is based on the claim
that he was unjustly sentenced with
out evidence being heard, on the
strength Of a confession made by
him in the early days of the case
in Omaha. Mr.. Priest declares Cole
was sentenced to death without con-
sAoSAopot VI uStCI1IlIIlottCu VI -lHC
degree Of murder to which he plead
ed guilty. He was sentenced foi
murder in the first degree.
Continue to Count Days.
Because of the fact that the Uni
ted States supreme court in Wash
ington, D. C., refused to have any
thing to do with the Cole case when
Attorney Frank NJ. Tyreli rushed
to the national capital two weeks
ago to present the case, it is believed
here that Gales appeal to the cir

pecially since no one will represent
him in St. Louis Tuesday.

PERSHING BRIEFS

1T is an American army that
will end this war" Pershing told the
allied conference.
There can be no place in Ameri-
ca for those whose interests are not
solely for America. New York

general, l like Buddy best.'1-
Pershing's greeting ito wounded

"The American Legion is the en-
bodiment of all that is fine and
worth while IN our citizenship, 1t
is the great steadying force of the
republic. 1t is up to you to curb
the spread of revolutionary doc
trine." ."-Pershing's Address Before
American Legion.
Once in the early days of the A.
E. F., when Pershing was talking
of the organization of an American
army, high French officer said:
But you have no general staff.
And it takes so years to organize a
general staff"
"It never tool. America so years
to do anything" was the character
istic reply.
"Pershing did not wait to ask
congress to amend the law. That
would have meant fatal delay. With
his customary directness and ingen-
uity for commercial organizations
unexpected in a soldier, he devised
a purchasing board. .. Thus. -.
purchasing for the A, E. F. was CO.

one big business proposition. COM

duced, and no one service allowed

By Spirit of Defeat

Budapest, Jan. 24.--An outstand-
ing fact with respect to Hungary
is the spirit of her people who are
not crushed by the tribulations of
defeat as Austria and Turkey ap-
pear to be. Neither defeat nor boil
shevism nor economic disaster has
yet sapped her vitality or patriot
ism. This is shown in conversations
with many prominent meu and also
IN the attitude of the peasant and
the bearing of the soldiers, who are
ragged and ill-fed, but loyal.
There are daily demonstrations
with the singing of the national an

garians consider peace without
honor. One theater presented pa

also by Archduke Joseph, who was
