K EEP PREPARED
FOR WAR, PERSH|NG
GENERAL ADDRESSES BOYS WHO
COMPOSE MILITARY TRAIN
ING CAMP AT FORT MEADE.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 5.-"We
must not drift back into our pre-war
attitude of unpreparedness," Gen.
Pershing said today in an address to
the boys who make up the citizens

Meade. Through you young gentle
men and through the veterans of the
war we hope to maintain sentiment
for complete preparedness in the
United States. There will be no war
tomorrow, nor next month, not next
wear. but no man knows when it
may come again.
"The reserves, to which you be-
long, were a joke just before the
war. Congressman 'Gussie' Gardner,
as we called him, used to ridlcule
them and extended an invitation to
all of them to come to dinner. Exact
lv seven men appeared, and the re-
lations between the national guard
and the regular army were not What
they should have been.
But today we are trying TO prlne
together the old units of the nation

ing in the war and to rehabilitate
them. We are also trying to bring
together the reserve divisions. And
the greater part of the army OF the
future will be composed of young
gentlemen like yourselves in the re

During the war people realized
for the first time in half century
that preparedness had been neglect

A|RsH|PTOSA SAIL
AUGUST 18TH
NAVAL DIRIGIBLE WILL START
FOR THE UNITED STATES

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.-The
monster British built naval dirigi-
BILE, zR-2, will sail from Howden,
England, August Is, for it's station
at Lakehurst, N. j., the navy depart
ment announced today.
The ZR2, formerly the British
Zeppelin R-38, will be commanded
by Commander L. H. Maxfield, of the
navy, on the transatlantic flight,
with Lieut.. Commander V. N. Bieg
as second in command. Other men,
bers of the ships personnel are:
Lieut.. Commander E. w. Coil,
Lieuts. F. p Culbert, HI. w. Hoyt,
r. w. Pennoyer, c. G. Little, C. B.
Null, j. B. Lawrence, A. r. Hough-

S. Kyger, j. b. Anderson, Clifford A.
Tinker and Ensigns j. S. Hykes and
r. j. Medusky and Chief Machinist
S s. Halliburton.
The ship is 694 feet long, SO feet
longer than the R-34, which made
the trip to- the United States and
back in July, 1919. She has
cruising radius of $500 miles and a
speed of between so and so knots
Soon after the arrival of the ZR-2
in this country, extensive flights as
far as the Pacific coast will be un-
dertaken, ii was stated, in order that
the country may see what may be
the forerunner of American military
-
craft.
The giant hangar at Lakehursl
which will house two ships or TINS
size, is practically completed, as Is
also a 115-foot steel mooring mas'
for outside anchorage. Other masts
of this type will probably be erected
in several cities, including Chicago
and possibly Omaha and Salt Lake
City.

FUTURE Of WAR
LIES IN THE AIR
SENATOR DU PONT, OF DELA-
WARE, DECLARES BATTLE
SHIPS Is OBSOLETE As A
FIGHTING CRAFT.

Chicago, Aug. Battleships
are obsolete. The airship is the
fighting ship of the future" said
United States Senator T. Coleman
Du Pont, who passed through Chi
cago on his way to Colorado Springs
today.
Il am for disarmament" he con-
tinued. Il believe We should cut
down the land and sea forces TO po-
licing needs. The future war lies
in the air.
"A battleship costs $10,0OO,OOO
and requires 1000 men. An airship
costs $4,000 and takes one man, or
two. Send a battleship against a
fort and you risk your thousand men
and s1O,OOO,O0O. Send ten airships
against the fort and you risk twenty
men and 100000 and you get the
fort"
But the powder trust" began
an interviewer.
Forget that" said the senator
quickly. Never has more than z
per cent of our output been used in
military operations. The biggest
part goes for blasting and fireworks
Give us the normal growth of min
ing. and building and canal cutting
and we don't need any more bonn
bardments to keep the powder mills
going. Our powder is a means OF
production rather than of destruc'
ton"

H|LLCREST AUCTION
STARTED TO-DAY
ECONOMIC ONDITION X e.
STRICTED BIDDINGS ON SEW
ERAL CHOICE PROPERTIES.

All of the advertised features fur
nished today by the Hillcrest I'M
proyement association were givea nc
cording to promise, including a ball
game, airplane stunts and free draw
ings of lots clear of incumberance
and cash gifts.
The auction put on at one o'clock
drew a number of people from out of
town, but Coils. Tripp, Price and
Atherton found an apathy existing 9
that forced those most interested in
the sale to withhold their real estate
possessions until a more oppOrtune
time.
The four Hillcrest properties are
in a slightly location, SO also are the
fifty lots that were on the block.
Bidding started off slowly and for
a choice of the four beautiful homes
only $4,000 was offered. That price
war far too low for such modern
residences hence these were ruled
off and an attempt was made to Sc
cure favorable bids on the group OF
lots lying near the west city limits,
Only two of these would readily. One
was sold for 1925 and the second
offered brought $175.
The ticket sale on free drawings
ran up to possibly a thousand. Those
holding tickets will have an oppor-
tunity to know their luck at eight
O'Clock tonight when the drawing
will be held on Egan avenue. There
is much conjecture today as to who
will be the one to secure one of the
beautiful Hillcrest homes.

garded as one of the states leading
educators.
The new president is man of in
ternational reputation, has been en-
gagged in educational work for Is
years, and well fitted for his new po-
sition. He spent a number of years
in educational work in Korea and
has filled leading Presbyterian pull
pits in the United States.
His extensive experience in educa-
tional and church work in the for
eign field has made him an interest
ing and instructive speaker, and ii
is expected he will become as popular
as DR.. Gage as a public speaker over
South Dakota.

that the United States has no intention

From the very beginning or this Ad-

American and Central American diplo-
mats ho has dwelt on the American
desire to arrive at sounder and more
