HIGH TRIBUTE PAID HAWAIIAN DEFENSEFORCE ‘Attacking’ Admiral Says Islands Well Protected in Maneuvers. The annual Pacific maneuvers of the United States navy, carried out In conjunction with the army and marine corps, are explained In detail by Lieu-tenant-Commander Leland P. Lovette. communications officer of the dreadnaught California, in the following article written for the United Press. BY LT. COMMANDER LELAND P. LOVETTE ♦ Written for the United Press) ABOARD U. S. S. CALIFORNIA, OFF LAHAINA, T. H„ Feb. 20. Opposing forces of United States army, navy and marine corps closed their annual Pacific battle tactics today at a conference which agreed that Oahu island was well defended in the battle fleet’s recent attack. Some 800 service officers attended the critique to hear results of their attack and defense of the Hawaiian Islands, designed to test the adequacy of fortifications here, as well as the relative value of fighting units. Although the “blue” attacking fleet succeeded in landing a large force, Admiral Frank H. Schofield, commanding the fleets afloat, paid high tribute to the “black” defense. Tactics Taught at Sea Another part of the war maneuvers has Just been completed off southern California with two force's, one under Admiral Richard H. Leigh, commanding the battle forces, and Vice-Admiral Arthur L. Willard, commanding the scouting force. This was to test all types of naval vessels under war conditions. Naval strategy and tactics necessarily must be learned at sea, and, for this reason, the fleet exerts every effort to gain all possible lessons from the present maneuvers. The final step is to present the results and recommendations to the citizens of the United States through their authorized representatives.

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. It 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, a consideration of protection Os American possessions, from the Pacific coast to the far-flung Philippines, is a 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. protection of merchant trade in such a situation is of paramount importance. To peer behind the curtain of the future is not possible. Nevertheless, the strategic position of American possessions in the Pacific remains 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. U. S. 'OVER-ORGANIZED’ Americans Have Too Many Clubs, Chicagoan Tells Students. "The average American community has too many clubs and civic organizations,” Butler university economics students were told Friday by Cortland M. Yount, of the American City Bureau in Chicago. "The average community is overorganized,” Yount asserted. He lauded the Community Fund and the Chamber of Commerce as the two most outstanding civic organizations. MODIFY PAVING MOVE West Michigan Block Eliminated Because of Bridge. The works board Friday modified a resolution for paving West Michigan street from Tibbs avenue to Eagle creek, by eliminating one block from Luett avenue to the creek. Modification was made after Marion county commissioners informed the board that within two years, anew bridge will be built over the creek. Elimination of the block will obviate necessity for tearing up paving when the bridge is built. LEGGER~SUSPECT FREED Judge Sheaffer Suspends 30-Day Sentence After Guilty Plea. A thirty-day penal farm sentence and a SIOO fine imposed upon George Barker, 515 Vinton street, convicted on a blind tiger charge, were suspended Friday in municipal court four by Judge William H. Sheaffer. Seventeen quart bottles and ten gallons of home brew were seized in Barker’s home, Sergeant John Eisenhut said. Barker entered a plea of guilty and asserted the liquor in his possession was for his own use.

1 1 Cleanliness Stressed by Warehouse 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 Jby 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, improving it here and there, it is true, but not losing sight of the factors that; built it. Lockers Provided About six years ago a modern storage building was constructed at 1430 North Illinois street. It well may be taken as indicative of what a storage warehouse should be. In all respects it is highly sanitary and clean. Each storage place is cleaned and fumigated thoroughly, and an individual locker service, a mothproof and burglar-proof room are provided for the finer articles of storage.” 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 a.id space is available for automobiles. The storage house contains more than 100,000 square feet.

Branch Is Maintained A branch is maintained at 194 Rue Championnet, Paris, for the convenience of Americans in France. It 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 management of M. Viego. The Shank Auction Furniture Company, 1432 North Illinois street, also is associated with the company presided over by Mrs. Shank. Still another service that illustrates how keenly she keeps the* company up to the minute is the shipment of goods to any destination In the United States or Canada by airplane. Irwin Walker is general manager.

Printing Trades Council Label Indicates Quality

Nine Unions Are Allied to Improve Standards of Local Crafts. "Indianapolis first” is a principle with the Allied Printing Trades Council of this city, representing the men who are engaged in the various forms of printing activity, and with a pay roll of more than $3,000,000 annually. It is a matter of earnest conviction with these men and women that their efforts and their money should be used in promoting the business activities of the city, and that special preference should be given to meritorious Indianapolis products. They believe every citizen of Indianapolis should devote his efforts and his purchasing power to promote the industrial and commercial concerns that make this city what it is. Nine unions comprise the membership—the bookbinders, electrotypers, mailers, photo-engravers, pressmen, press assistants, stereotypers, typographical and web pressmen. Officers are E.

CITY WORKERS DEPENDENT ON STREET CARS • Rail System Stiil Vital to Public Despite Growing Use of Autos. BY J. J. BEDLOW. In the many complex factors that make up a city, the question of transportation is of far more importance than usually is recognized. True enough, the city does make fine paved streets for its automobilists and the constant stream of business vehicles. It leaves to private initiative, however, the problem of moving the great mass of people to and from their work, of providing for the woman of modest means who wants to visit the downtown shop, and all the other many migrations of those who either have no cars or do not use them. These needs have been met by street car lines heretofore. When all the population used street cars, the question was not an acute one, for capital could be found for their extension even in many cases beyond the existent demand of traffic.

Aids Outlying Districts Along these extensions the city grew. Accessibility to a street car or buss always has been a condition of development. The better the transportation facilities, the quicker the outlying community was built up, and the greater the enhancement of real estate values. However, the larger use of the automobile has changed a great part of this. Still, it has not changed the basic fact that a city to grow must have an adequate public transportation service. People can not well have an automobile for each member of a large family, for the young folks attending school, the women of the family, and the workmen who from the same family go to different employment. Local transportation is as much a necessity as it ever was. Revenue Is Reduced One change, however, has been made. In a way it is the most serious one that could be made, for it makes the further extension of lines a most serious question. That change has been the falling off of the street car revenues. It began to be felt just as the costs began to advance, and street car managers have had financial headaches ever since. On the one hand they are faced with a constant demand for better facilities. The public wants more cars and better cars. It wants more lines built, and extensions so new parts of the community. These desires require capital, and the street railway that in the last fifteen years has been able to earn capital to make improvements has been exceptional. Most of them have had to exercise the utmost ingenuity and the strictest economy to avoid impairing the capital. Resorted to Busses Some have resorted to busses to supply outlying transportation. In a few cases busses entirely have superseded the street cars. Every other possible effort has been made to bring street car revenues to the point where they would exceed expenditures. Only a few of these efforts have met with success. Indianapolis has had its problems with the rest. Yet all of the time this city has had an adequate street transportation service, with street cars and busses. This can be maintained only so long as Indianapolis people realize the civic advantages of this form of transportation and ride the street cars generally.

president, and Guy S. McCoy, secretary and business manager. The council makes its influence felt through adherence to the Allied Printing Council’s label on printing. It believes that this represents the highest kind of craftsmanship and knows that it represents fair working conditions. Its appearance on any piece of printing is taken as an invitation to participate in the development of the business represented, and the members of the unions always are glad to extend their patronage and their best efforts to the success of the house that insists upon the Allied Printing Trades label on its printing.
