General Da-
! Wis handles ~
| most Of the Dunbar Hare
Army and Navy mems stock and
:. investment operations here and
daily he is asked what he thinks
: OF the possibility of another war
in Europe, a war between Japan
! and Russia or between Japan and
the United States.
General Davis invariably re-
plies:
81 refuse to predict"
Pressed for an answer, he says:
''WeIl, when the Chinese
japanese war first broke out
was asked that question, or one
like that. I went back to the
fundamentals Of all strategists
and told them that the one that
gets there first with the most
men always wins.
9 Gas the war wore on, I was
asked about the first two or
three japanese victories and /
:, told them that soon the tre-
1mendOuS mass of Chinese would
0Verwhelm the invaders.
"But imagine my embarrass-
ment when the war was over
and China had not won q single
battle.
$50 don't ask my opinion
, about any wars or my predic-
tions, either"
2. General Davis retired in 1929
and entered the brokerage busi-
ness. He had q remarkable ca
Teer, and although in the thick
Of the fighting at st. Miheil, es-
aeaped unscathed. At that point
Of the World War he was with the
:. Bighty-seventh Division in COM
: mand Of an artillery brigade.

Here's some more news!
It seems that the published
slate Of officers Of the new Abner
I Brewery, Inc, was not all wet but
&as slightly damp.
Somebody got ahead Of the 6i'
sectors and said officers were Of
Hcers who weren't.
r !. However, the new slate still
finds Chris J. Gockeler, assistant
tice president Of the Hamilton
National Bank, as chairman OF
the board, and E. N. Snow as
president.
3 y Abner Drury is the only vice
6resident. o. H. Gawthorp re-
mains as vice president and treas
urer, but j. ]. Barnes, instead Of
being assistant secretary, Is as
/. eistant treasurer and secretary
while L. Filbert Crawford IS assis'
tant secretary instead Of secretary
With assumption Of his duties
Mr. Gockeler Is not a butcher,
baker or candleStick maker but a
banker, broker and brewer.
incidentally, since he has as
,eumed his new job word has got
around that he is dishing out
sample cases of beer to his friends.
NE denies it day by day to every
person who has the temerity to
telephone and ask:
r cam one Of your friends?
!, bow about my case Of beer?"
!, And while on the subject, it
might be said that the new COM
'pany says its new brand Of beer,
which will be on sale soon, will
be as good as anything made in
Germany. Experts have gone to
Europe to find the absent chord
and 100000 has been spent on
new equipment. They are wait
ing for March /.
