Thieves Lift Tire But
Bother Nothing Else

Evidently sorely in need of a
front tire for Ford, thieves broke
into the garage of the Standard Oil
company Tuesday night and ap-
propriated the rubber from one of
the front wheels of the machine,
taking rim and all.
The lock on the garage door was
found by D. A. Neil, salesman of the
company, to be broken Wednesday
morning when he reported for
work. o. H. Dunlap, manager of
the local barnch, was at the office
short time after dinner Tuesday
evening and noticed nothing wrong 3
then. The tire was apparently the
only thing taken.

Daze.
Mr. Lieberman, in order to eluci-
date the basic purpose of the, de-
fense test, discussed the plan as
follows:
'The president has authorized
the war department to hold on
July 4, 1925, second defense test.
of the same general character as
the on of last year and without adj
ditional expense to the government.
"The object and general scope Of
the defense test is tWOfOld-to ac-
quaint the American people with
their national defense policies and
the obligations associated there
with, and to comply with the pro-
visions of the National Defense act
of June 4, 1920. These provisions
follow:
"'Sec. 3. The organized peace
establishment, including the regu-
lar army, the national guard and
the organized reserves, shall in
clude all of those divisions and
other military organizations neces-
sary to form the basis for a COM
plete and immediate mobilization
for the national defense in the event
of a national emergency declared
by congress.
"'Sec. 5. The duties of the war
department general staff shall be to
prepare plans for national defense
and the use of the military forces
for that purpose, both separately
and in conjunction with the naval
forces, and for the mobilization Of
the manhood of the nation and it's
national resources in an emergency,
to investigate and report upon all
questions affecting the efficiency
of the army of the United States
and its state of preparation for mil
itary operations.
"'The chief of staff, under the
direction of the president, or of the
secretary of war under the direc-
tion of the president, shall cause
to be made the necessary plans for
recruiting, organizing, supplying,
equipping, mobilizing, training and
mobilizing the army of the United
States and for use of the military
forces for national Defense
"The war department plans for
national defense, made pursuant
to the law quoted, are based on the
constitutional principle of common
defense applied throgh a selective
service system similar to that of the
World war.
"The successful application of
the principles of common defense
can be assured only when the peo-
pie, local communities and political
as we'll as military authorities, are
acquainted with and realize their
Obligations under the adopted ma
tional defense policy, and the war
department plans to support and
execute sadi policy.
Every citizen, local community,
county and state, as we'll as mill
tary organizations, have definite
tasks and essential to the success
of the whole. 1t is one of the main
purposes of the defense test to set
before and explain to the people
this system andstheir part therein +"
The new plan calls for the regis
tration of all women between the
ages of 18 and As years.

In addition to O'Leary, Parker
Gilbert. agent general Of the Dawes
plan also spoke.
O'Leary assured his auditors that
Americans feel keenly the hostile
attitude OF the European press
which everywhere reflects the I'm
just opinion that Americans are q
purely mercenary people seeking
only to profit from the misfortunes
of Europe.
He also, expressed regret that the
European debtor nations are still
unrelieved OF the burdens brought
on by mutations.
The people Of these nations
said O'Leary, are now forced ia
assume even greater obligations than
In 1919 and with much less strength
to carry the burden"
Emphasizing the progress made
by Belgium, France, Italy, and
England during the last two years
and recalling the Rome resolution
adopted in 1923 calling for q set,
Element OF the debts without delay
he added that the people OF the
United States not only cheerfully
assumed their own debts. but have

We are q nation made up oi
the descendants Of All the great
nations Of Europe" he said IN con
cIusion, "and the diversity Of this

America to intervene on one side
