Today B \The Baboons Brother. I / oral IT orse 7 ban Drink, l hr Maharajah Arrives. Smallpox—Kill the Pets. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. i — A big baboon went wild in the ; Zoological Gardens, and was shot • to death. He may not represent a • ' ranch of our early ancestors, but ; he gave a good imitation of the in • fcrior human races. As his last official act on earth | he killed his little brother, the ring i tailed monkey. That justified J shooting him. In a similar way the thinking » men of Great Britain find it easy J hi boss hundreds of millions of peo j pie in Asia. The natives keep busy • lighting and hating each other as , the baboon fought his ring-tailed • relative. Not much difference. » ___ Chauneey Depew, nearly 91," ut ; ters solemn truth as follows: “Eat ing, not drinking, is the curse of America.” , Whisky did harm before prohibi J tion, and is doing under prohibition < more harm than before, being as , plentiful as ever and 10 times as J poisonous. v i Nevertheless, Depew is right. Foolish eating has always killed | more men than foolish drinking, i Unwise eating cuts an average of , Jo years from the life of every American. Whisky'* record is not as bad as that. The maharajah of Jodphur, enormously rich young man who rules part of India under the thumb of Great Britain, and gets well paid, reaches London in state. He brings 70-polo ponies and four “in visible wives,” so-called, because nobody sees them. The maharajah’s polo team may p!ay against United States army officers now in Britain. And, in that case, soldiers presumably wear ing the United States uniforms, will act as lackeys looking after the ponies while "gentlemen” of the American army play the game. It is all right for the maharajah to bring native soldiers from iiu state to act as servants while he plays polo. But what does the president think of sending enlisted men from the United States army to play a lackey's part in England? Is that what the farmers pay taxes for? Is that the work for which American young men are invited to enlist? In and around the town of Cum berland. R. I., 20 cases of smallpox worry the authorities. Three addi tional cases were reported yester day. Investigation will show that some intellectual inhabitants re fused vaccination on the ground that they didn’t need “poison in their blood to protect them from disease.” They will think it over now. Meanwhile the health officer of Cumberland orders the tilling of all household pets in any way ex posed to the disease. This should impress on fathers and mothers the fact that the “cunning pet” is a permanent disease carrier and breeding ground. The safest pet probably would be a hairless Mexican dog. You might keep him fairly germ-free by wash ing daily in a weak carbolic acid solution. French newspapers and silly Americans criticize President Cool idge for saying pleasant words about the socialist prime minister, Herriot. This nation used to send friendly greetings to the Russian rzars until Lenin finished them. Surely our government is closer to the French republic, even with a so cialist in charge, than it ever was to a Russian autocracy with a Romanoff in charge. Anyhow it is the first duty of an American president to recognize facts. And fact is that socialism holds the balance of power in France, whether our ruling powers like it or not. Socialism in Europe is not what it is here. In Belgium, for instance, the socialist leader, Vandervelde, a highly educated and intelligent man, formerly minister of justice, has been summoned by King Albert to become prime minister of a new government. In the latest parliamentary elec tion the socialists gained 10 more seats and 138,000 votes. Even a king must notice that. Progress is wonderful, we all ad mire it. Speed is desirable. But it is sad to read that in Ireland jaunting cars are being driven out by taxirabs. Whoever has driven from Queensland to Cork on a “side car” learning about real Ire land from the driver and really see ing Ireland will sigh for the old days. “Put-put” boats on the Grand canal, and "cut-out” roaring around the lakes of Killarney! Thus passes romance from the earth. fCopyriKht. 192.V) PlattMiiouth Man Doiii" Wire Acts for Movies Plattsmouth.

Fleet Maneuvers ^ ar Game to Determine Whether or Not Present Defenses at Na\al Base on Oahu Gland Adequate; Inereasea Mobility of Warship* 2,000 Mile*. — Note—America's fleet is steaming westward to the Hawaiian islands to test America s "Gibraltar," the Island of Oahu. Through its naval located on Oahu the mobility of the fleet is increased by 2,000 miles. IVith Oahu in the hands of an enemy the opera tions of the fleet would, of necessity, be confined to a comparative ly small area in the Pacific ocean. The following article outlines the program of the naval ma neuvers and the need of determining whether or not present de fenses on the island arc adequate against the attach of an enemy fleet. From that moment yesterday, when the battle fleet sailed front the [Golden Gate for the Hawaiian and Australian maneuvers and visits, the third grand Joint exercises of the United States army and navy were I in the hands of the umpires. The maneuvers will be umpired according to the arrangement in vogue in Panama last year, when the Atlantic and Pacific fleets were prevented from uniting. Admiral Robert TO. Coontss, chief of staff of the navy, and Maj. (Jen. Juhrf U. Jiines. chief of staff of the army, will jointly occupy the post of chief umpire and there will also lie n senior Black umpire ami a senior Blue umpire de tailed with the military and naval forces of tlie opposing forces. Uadi of the umpires will he provided with assistants who "II! keep in touch with every minute phase of the opera tions. When ships are,,theoretically as sumed to be put out of commission by the 'fire” of the enemy they will hoist a "sunk” flag, retire from the fray, and proceed to an “out of ac tion” meeting place. W hen any of the Hawaiian coast defenses are silenced by being outranged by the battleships or outnumbered by the at tackers and judged overcome they will raise a flag denoting their de feat. War Game*. For the purpose of providing the necessary "enemy" for the war games it is assumed that: 1— The Hawaiian islands do not belong to the United Ktates, but to tin* Black power. 2— The United States (blue) fleet desires to attack the islands, silence the enemy's guns, and raise the American flag over them. 3— -The Hawaiian Inlands are de fended as they are at present by naval and military forces. • 4— The attack will he made by. United States naval forces, composed especially of the United States fleet. The purpose of the war game is threefold: To train the army and navy forces in Joint operations, as past wars have taught military and naval strategists that most joint at tacks have failed prhnaril;. because eif lark of teamwork between the two units: to test the defensive arrange ments of the islands, and to try out planned methods of attack against the Islands similar to those an enemy would have to assume If the islands should be attacked. Mass Strength. The navy will mass the fighting strength of Its J2 greatest dread naughts, together with cruisers, sub marines, destroyers and aircraft in the attempt to secure range and numerical superiority over the tie fending forces. Unless the battle ships are able to sllench the guns on the island from the sea approach it will !>e necessary to put ashore a landing force to cope with the de fense from the land side. It Is generally assumed by naval and military authorities, however, that the islands will successfully beat off the attacking force, or fall before the Buna of the battle fleet on the basis of the sea battle that Is scheduled to take place. Hawaii is an extremely important element in any warfare that might take place in the Pacific ocean be cause. although they could not de fend the entire Pacific coast of the United States they could, and actual ly do now, provide the navy with a splendid base. In case of war on the Pacific the islands would, therefore, be used us the base of advance opera Hons ami an American fleet could operate in all directions from Pearl harbor, the naval station near Hono lulu, without being forced*to return to San Francisco, San Pedro of Puget Sound for fuel, ammunition, provisions or other necessary ad junct to war. Hawaiian Base Essential. With the American fleet using the Hawaiian Islands as n base, no enemy would be able to make an attack on the Pacific coast without having the danger of that base on its flank at all times. Hawaii would have to be captured by the enemy before any Pacific coast city could be attacked. Irf>ss of the Islands to an enemy nation would, therefore, provide them with a base from which to launch an extremely serious attack against our Pacific shores. If .lapan, for in stance, captured Hawaii, it would re duce the distance over which It would have to transport supplies for naval and military purposes by half. Military authorities have decided, after an exhaustive study, that the islands should not be difficult to defend from th* air if the United .States placed more air forces there than an enemy could transport by sea. At the present tlms there are not sufficient planes in Hawawaii ade quately to protect the islands from attack, but additional planes arc be lng shipped to Honolulu especially for the maneuvers. The part the nir defenses play In the 'play war" wil be closely watched by naval and military experts because of the ex tremely Interesting situation which has resulted from the attacks on the existing order of things by Brig. Hen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of air service, who retires freew the position shortly after the war games open. Where you find no mosquitoes you If find no malaria.

It is1 signed February IT, 1915, witnessed by Myron Learned, his attorney, and Grace Rowland, and was filed In coun ty court Wednesday morning.

(hadron, \pril 15.—Burton Egl>. who was seriously injured in an, auto mobile accident last Friday night, is recovering from injuries to his lungs and chest. For a time his chance Of living was considered small. Fearing that the shock of the death ' of Miss Francis Mag goner of Gordon, who was in the wrecked car with him. would add to his serious condition his parents have refrained from telling him of the tragedy. Miss Betty Gee, the girl in the wreck, escaped without injury. The accident occurred two and one-half miles east of (’hadron in making the turn across the railroad crossing.
