Under the guiding hand OF Mrs
Lew Shank, president, the Shank
Fireproof Storage Company and its
allied activities are held to a high
standard Of service and the business
fully maintained in every respect.
Founded thirty-eight years ago
by Lew Shank, one of the famous
characters of Indianapolis, who
was mayor for several terms and a
figure in state politics, the business
was laid down in lines that have
proved satisfactory to the people,
and Mrs. Shank, since the death of
her husband, has carried on the
business in the same way, improv-

not losing sight Of the factors that

About six years ago a modern
storage building was constructed at
1430 North Illinois street. 1t well
may be taken as indicative of what
storage warehouse should be. In
all respects it is highly sanitary and
clean.
Each storage place is cleaned and
fumigated thoroughly, and an in
dividual locker service, a mothproot
and burglar-proof room are pro-
vided for the finer articles of sto-
rage" Rooms are maintained at a
uniform heat for pianos and other
articles affected by heat and cold.
A lockbox vault is provided for
the storage of valuableS and space
is available for automobiles.
The storage house contains more
than 100000 square feet.
Branch Is Maintained
A branch is maintained at 1874
Rue Championnet, Paris, for the
convenience of Americans in
France. 1t offers storage, packing
and shipping facilities for all
American tourists, and particularly
for those Hoosiers who visit sunny
France.
This Office is convenient for those
who make purchases in France to
be shipped to this country and for
the storage of unnecessary luggage.
From this Paris branch goods are
shipped to anywhere in the world,
properly packed and marked. The
Paris Office is under the manage
ment of M. Viego.
The Shank Auction Furniture

ABOARD U. S. S. CALIFORNIA
OFF LAHAINA, T. H., Feb. 90
Opposing forces of United States
army, navy and marine corps CLOSED
their annual Pacific battle tactics
today at conference which agreed
that Oahu island was well defended
in the battle fleets recent attack.
Some 300 service officers attended
the critique to hear results Of their
attack and defense of the Hawaiian
islands, designed to test the ade-
quacy of Notifications here, as well
as the relative value of fighting
units.
Although the "blue" attacking
fleet succeeded in landing a large
force, Admiral Frank H. Schofeld,
commanding the fleets afloat, paid
high tribute to the BLACK" defense.
Tactics Taught at Sea
Another part of the war maneu-
verS has just been completed off
southern California with two forces,
one under Admiral Richard H.
Leigh, commanding the battle forces
and Vice-Admiral Arthur L. Will
lard, commanding the scouting
force. This was to test all types of
naval vessels under war conditions.
Naval strategy and tactics nee
essarily must be learned at sea, and,
for this reason, the fleet exerts
every effort to gain all possible les
sons from the present maneuvers.
The final step is to present the
results and recommendation to
the citizens of the United States
through their authorized represent
atives.
The exercises are in no manner
directed against any specific power
or powers, and should by no stretch
Of the imagination be construed as
such.
1t is logical that plans must be
based on probable and theoretical
acts of aggression or attempted
conquest by any naval or military
force, regardless of geographical
position. The motives are to test
the arms of national defense to
meet its constituted mission.
The Hawaiian islands present a
focal point in planning strategy in
the Pacific which must not be lost
sight of. The enormous expanse of
ocean necessitates that particular
attention be given to fueling and
repair bases. In this connection,
Hawaii, the Philippines and Guam
form links in our chain of defense.
Too, consideration of protection
Of American possessions, from the
Pacific coast to the far-flung Phil
ippines, is national duty.
Study Conduct as Neutral
In such a study, consideration
particularly is given to our conduct
as a neutral during any conflict in
the Pacific. The protection of
merchant trade in such a situation
is of paramount Importance.
To peer behind the curtain of the
future is not possible. Neverthe-
less, the strategic position of Amer
lean possessions in the Pacific re-
mains the same, and our practice
maneuvers must be carried out
with this in view. The activities
point out to us the defects and
help correct them.
