What will be the effect of the big European war on business? Will it stimulate or retard our btifilness prosperity? -We believe, every thoughtful man has already asked himself this question, using the term "business" in the broader sense that Includes Industry, trade, prices, employment, wages and all the various elements of living cost. Will we in the United States, as a neutral country remote from the fields of carnage, suffer business depression, or will we benefit In a business way by the misfor tunes piled up on the over-seas peoples? . While actual, experience will alone furnish the answer, the probabilities are fair) obvious. Any colossal destruction of life and property or diversion of fruitful labor to non-productive oc cupations must be a setback to the civilised w orld as a w hole, but In the uneven distribution cf the burden it must work to the relative ad vantage of one country as against another. If su h a war had to be, the United States occupies a most fortunate position, for it Is not only self sufficing, but has the foodstuffs and many other necessities which people In other lands must have. Cutting off our Importations forces us to produce at home the articles to fill these shifted demands. It means putting our labor to work at remunerative wages and giving our wage earners effective purchasing power as buyers in the retail centers. In this particular section of the corn belt, where bountiful crops are In hand, or assured. It means more money In the pockets of the farmers, to be by them put into circula tion in all the channels of commerce. While a few lines of business msy be disturbed and new Investments on a large scale delayed, the gen eral volume of trade should be increased. It need hardly be added that the enterpris ing merchant and manufacturer, the one' who is alive to his opportunities, who promptly meets the new conditions and pushes his wares by ad vertising and other legitimate means, is the one who will keep to the front, while the timid, blue goggled tradesman will merely plod along or fall behind. It is tip to our democratic friends to decide whether they want to, "Win with 'Met'" or be "Beat with Berge,' or get "Marooned with More head." i Let us pause In our paeans of peace long enough to note that seven declarations of war were issued In nine days. Not so slow for such a blissful age. Why the Germans set out to capture Liege first la now explained by a Kansas editor, who says. "I stopped there once and got one of the best meals I aver ate for a very small sum." From the esteemed Kansas City Journal it Is learned that the European war has had the ef ' feet of checking the reorganltatlon of the Orient Voad. Well, someone had to fiiriilli a check (or it. i State house officials think that by reason of tha safeguards la the votlngy-mall law appre hended complications will not materialise. More than that, the chances are that the votes-by-snail will not'materiallxe In appreciable number, ) ' Tea, voters in fa .'or of making the Omaha water works a republican political machine will endorse the present "nonpartisan" management. Dut voters who want the plant divorced from politics, as the law contemplates, will demand a new deal. ' Lawyer Brorae denies that he either had anything to do with that odorous bribery plot or knew anything about It.

All of which shows that the writer of. this anlppy paragraph is not a careful reader of the Nebraska senator's, personal newspaper organ. The Harvester Decision. After a most extensive and comprehensive hearing on tha issues of tha case a majority of the circuit court of appeals orders tha Interna tional .Harvester company to dissolve, allowing ninety days for tha dissolution. Judge Sanborn, dissenting. Insists that the government baa failed to make out Us case or to show that tha Harvester company has committed any lawless practices. Representatives of the company, as would naturally be expected, have promptly let it be known that their attorneys will appeal to the supreme court, so that the government vic tory Is regarded aa making progress, rather than as the final destination. - It Is interesting to note that the mala point on which the decision rests foes back to the or ganisation of the corporation, and its acquisition of the component companies now declared to be in violation of the Sherman law. In other words, despite' all the clamor for new truBt legislation, we have proof here again that the Sherman law as originally enacted la able to reach practically all of the 'evils which the government haa been able to . uncover In any of the large In Austria! combinations. - .

A Defect in the Title. , No person with common sense would know ingly buy a piece of real estate with a serious defect in the title. On the same, score it would be foolish for republicans to throw away their votes lu the coming primary to make a nomina tion that will not hold water. To a man up a tree the recent double-shuffle in congressional filings by withdrawal, and then by withdrawal of withdrawal, have caused only amusement, hut the serious side Is not to be overlooked. . The fact that a complacent secretary of state consented to restore to the ballot the name of a candidate previously withdrawn and erased, and to restore It, moreover, after the filing time had elapsed, does not put It there legally. There la no' warrant of law for adding any name to the list on the ballot after the time limit, and' the fact that the reinstated name was once filed and withdrawn doea sot again open the door This being the case, a, certificate of nomination Issued to a candidate sot legally on the ballot would not be worth the paper It la written on. Mora than that, If the defective nomination could be made to atlck over the election, the certificate of election would be defective. If the next con gress were democratic by a close margin, and the ruling powers desirous of another demo cratic vote, no republican pseudo-congressman with a defective title could ever hope to be seated from thla district. It the withdrawal candidate were wise he would atlck to his orig inal withdrawal, or, even now, withdraw once more and finally. TheliteKewsy., The newsboys annual picnic baa come to be an event of special Interest among kind-hearted 'women and stern-mlnded business men. The spectacle of several hundred of these proud little fellows in a street parade led by a band sends home some serious thoughts to the mind that looks deeper than the surface. The life of the newsboy is not altogether strewn with roses Regsrdless of weather conditions, however hot or cold, he must be on the job. The field Is al ways full, competition keen, margins close, mar kets variable, but there la never room tor the laggard. Enthusiasm must remain at fever heat or. the battle la lost. - Truth Is, this la a buslaesa that tests the boys' fiber. In a way it means the survival of the fittest. It draws out of a boy every element of strength there is la h'm. It develops self reliance and will power and whets the business acumen, or. falling of response, it casts the lad aside to make way tor another, ( Many big and successful. Americans have risen from the ranka of the newsboy. It is safe to predict that oth ers are rising here in our own city. Remember that all these little fellows of school age attend school for. their regular hours of study. As The Bee haa recently ahown. according to official statement, they are for the most part leaders In the school room Just as they are oa the street corners. ' Brief oatrtw!aa State? toplee U vise 4.

To the Kditor of The Bee: Regarding the statements by German-Americans that the American press is mvrn favorable to the Knfllsh and Trench side of thla war, allow me to say that so far the American press haa not been able to get the Oerman aide aa Ger many ha been completely Isolated from communication with the outside world. That being the case, they naturally Printed what they could get, and most reports came from London. Paris and Brussels. When Germany la able to pre sent her aide, I expect the American press will give just aa much publicity to the Cerman reports. However, my personal opinion is that Germany should be gtven the greatest share of the blame for the war. I think we have only two nations on earth which we ahould watch, these being Germany end Japan, although both of them profejs to be friendly to us. I claim Germany Is not a friend of ours. We had trouble with her In the Ramoan Inlands, for in stance, and again during the fTpaalah Amerlcan war, she Interfered with Dewey at Manila, sod If 1 am not mistaken,, tried to buy the Danish West Indes to get a foothold on this side of the water. Regarding England, France,- etc., it Is' history that France helped us with men and money in 1JT4. We certainly should' not forget It, cither. Russia sided with the union diiing wur Civil war and Eng land sided with ua during our Spanish war. While we have fought and whipped England twice, still that Is a thing of the past. We speak the same language; they are our forefathers mors than any other nation in Europe, therefore all Eng lish speaking people ahould ' stick to gether. I was born and raised In this country and am Irish descent, but I oppose Ger man militarism because I think it a menace to this country. O. H. MURPHT. . ; W mem sal War. SOUTH OMAHA, Aug. U T the Edi tor of The Bee: Some If the suffragists who do not seem to be ported in history sre claiming that the dread -.vur now on In Europe would not have occurred had the right of suffrage existed 'n the coun tries Involved- As wonren are made from 1 the same clay as men, I do Tt think If every woman In the world had it right to vote It would make a. particle of dif ference in the wagins of wars, If his tory Is a criterion.

Catherine De Med lots ordered the St. JJatholomew massacre whem ten at. thou sands of the best vitltena of France were murdered simply to appease her cruel Instincts and ehwa accused of Intrigues that brought about the mur ders of mtiijr great men of her country. Catherine of Ruesla waa consist. tly wad ing In seas of blood - ouring her reign. and she was autlty of participation In. one ot the greatest crimes of history In the dismemberment of the romuntio king dom of Poland. ! Kve,n the reign of Quee-.i Victoria of England was marked with many wars almost constantly waged during her long reign and cruel, oppressions In Ireland. Then the suffragists of Ktiuland of to day are ut conntant warfare with the people and have left a lino of devasta tion along their trail throughout the length and breadth of England, as If an. army had marched through with fire and destruction on every hand. The present war In Europe and tho work of the sut fragists la England show that the proud boast of our advancement from the times of the Gotas and Huns snl Scythians has been but little, when tho most en lightened nations orlng a stain upon modem civilisation. Women are not much nearer being angles than men wtj-Jit they hive the power. Women would wage wars as soon as men and the granting of suffrage will not stop wars, as was evidenced recently In the suffrage state of Colorado, when scores of men, women anad children were ruthlejsly shot Iowa.

OMAHA, Aug. 11 Te the Editor of The Bee: Will a consolidation of city and county governments facilitate the publlo business and be productive of economy and efficiency in public office? Who can answer the questloa? Logically, the first step would be to gather all available Information as ta advantages and disadvantages of the sys tem ef consolidation where it has been tried, and then have a special scientific survey made of alt facta and conditions In order to dlscloao the factors entering Into the problem' as It affects Omaha. I When these Important afeps have been taken we shall be able to determine whither ws, as cltlsena, would want to favor a scheme of consolidation. Such survey would coat a considerable sum of money, but it would be folly to approach the matter in any other way. I offer this suggestion for the benefit ot Mr. Green's committee. Should such survey, etc., prove that the proposed consolidation would be desirable. then we should have a solid groundwork upon which to appeal to the voters of city, county and stats for authority to effect the merger, and thus could enable the peoplo to decide the issue Intelligently. That done. It would not be difficult to attain the needed amendment to the stats constitution. My studies of the subject during the last year convince me that consolidation would moat likely be highly profitable to Omaha taxpayers. I hope, that Mr. Green's committee will take up the sub. jsct rig-ht end first and put It up to the people la all Its fhaaea J. B. HAYNE8. German Version of the War WITH THE WITS.

Although the attitude f Austria-Hungary seems relatively easy to understand as a desperate battle for the prenervaljon of the state, the attitude of Ger many seems to meet with consummate misunder standing. It snrms almost universally difficult to ap preciate why Germany did not restrain the Vienna government from Its 'impudent" demands, and why it followed thla by making the 'unjust" Austrian cause Ita own, and drawing the aword In its defense. Two most obvious reasons suffice to clear up this misunderstanding: Germany Is bound by an alliance with Austria, and Germany Is even more than Austria-Hungary the real object of the pan-Slavic move ment, so that the blow, though directed at Austria, must Inevitably atrike Germany to the heart. Aua trla s cause is therefore Germany's cwcee; It Is Im possible to get away from this simple and yet terrible fact. The casual eye sees only the treaty that binds, especially In the hour of bitterest need. Should Ger many now treacherously forsake its ally? This thought is so repellant and so shsmrful that It would be an insult even to answer it. Germany's word haa been given, and Germany's pledge will be kept. When at the time of the Bosnian controversy the kaiser spoke of the Nibclungen faith and of the shining armor In which Germany stood ready to array Itself behind its Austrian ally, he merely gave the expres sion to that firm loyalty which, aa a trait of German character, shimmers like a golden thread through the history ot the last 1,000 years. sail sr Common Ties. ' But Germany is bound to AusU ia riot alone by a sheet 'of parchment The two countries are bound by the chafhs of a common ancestry, of a common cul ture, of a common history and of common Interests. Austria is not a German nation; that la precluded by the multiplicity of the nationalities that compose it. But Its culture is that of German civilization, and it Is the German outpost, the German sentinel, In that sons in which for more then a thousand years has been fought this struggle of Hun and Moslem and finally of Slav against the Teuton. It haa alwaya been the battle of. a lower civiliza tion against a higher for the supremacy of the Euro pean continent. Or are there those' reckless enough to say that the Huns of 5 or the Turks of 16S3 or the Slavs of 1914 are the superiors ot the Germans of today or of -their ancestors ot yesterday? What we see today Is but a repetition of the drama of yesterday, except that the role of the Hun aad of the Turk Is. taken today by the Slav. It Is the clash of two civilisations.' the decisive battle between the Teuton and the Slav'. Could Germany remain a mere Spectator of such a momentous crisis Germany, who Is the standard bearer of Teutonic civilisation and of Teutonlo Ideals? War Lard Ilu Ktst Praee, In Germany's alignment with Austria lies no lust of conquest, no seal for power, no passion for oppres sion. And the "war lord," who must carry this sol emn responsibility,- needs no defense, fls has kept the peace for six and twenty years, and thereby he has served, far better than with eloquent orations,' the cause of universal peace. Were he really the man whom this term of "war lord" is intended sneer Ingly to describe, he would not have bad to seek lonu for opportunities for war, for they have arisen again and again. Had. he desired the destruction of Russia, ' how much more easily could he have accomplished it while she was struggling in her Asiatic warl For it would have been but play, compared to the Titanic conflict that haa now begun. . This alone makes all Other testimony vain; for a generation the 'war lord" has been Europe's firmest pillar ot pece. And how earnest he was In his program of peac.e was testified to only recently at the LsJteMonhonk peace conference by Admiral Chad wick, who related how , the .kaiser had declared to two prominent Americans In almost identical words that the highest aspiration ot his reign waa to end it without a war. - , If now, despite all this, he seeks refuge in the sword. It certainly cannot be attributed to his per sonal desire, or to warlike ambition. It Is the Issue of conditions that are mightier than the man. To thunder' against such elemental forces with the Im perial word were as futile as to bid the tempest cease. Dyaaatle Wars Faat. The d&rs of dynastic wars In Europe are past; he man upon a throne can no more Inspire or com pel his r people Into an unpopular conflict, than can the president of a republic. It Is. therefore. Idle to say that this European war will do away with mon archy, and that from now on Its peoplo will take their destiny Into their own hands. For It Is the people ot Europe who today are clamoring for this conflict, it is the slumbering Instinct of race that baa been aroused. It Is not the house of Romanofr that fights against the Hapsburg and the Hohen toilers, rt Is the Slav against the Teuton. There lies the primordial cause. - . But tf this be true, what consequences win n bring to the other nations ot Teutonic ancestry? For tbe three Scandinavian states, and even for Holland and Belgium which are at least partly Germanic? And especially for England and for America? Den mark. Sweden" and Norway will probably remain neutral for the present although Sweden looks upon Russia as a dangerous neighbor and haa recently called upon Its sons i America to resent Russian I oppression In Finland. The neutrality of Holland and Belgium la guaranteed In treaties between Francs and England aad these states are dependent upon the latter for their security. Fa tare Htass ta Eaglaad. TTncrt.nt must decide for herself whetner her imme diate econoinle Interests are to take precedence ovor the future ot her people and ner. civilisation, one must decide whether she Is to aid a nation, alien in race and culture.

It is true that the latter constitute an economlo rival, Sut It Is even, more certain that the rise of the Slav must threaten tbe very life' of En land and English, dvlllxaUon." easmaaa-B Staaa af Aatvrteaas. ' ' If this true for England, how much more la it true for America? America, too, boasts Teutonlo , civ-. IlliaUon and Teutonic ideals. Or Is America now pre pared to givs preference to.-. Slavics over Germanio culture? The debates in congress concerning the re, striotions of Slario Immigration give no hint of such desire. No, the cause of the Teuton, the cause of Germany, "is America's cause; no thinking American can escape this conviction. Were, be to Judge other wise he would outrage the highest Interests of his own nation; to believe him capable of this would In sult his Intelligence and his loyalty. And his far famed desire for "fair p!ay"vtnust finally make itself felt, after the meager reports of saapshot historians have been replaced by documentary evidence who it really was that honestly labored tor peace and why It was that he failed. America sees too much through Urltish eyes in stead of througn her own, and this is particularly to be regretted, because it Is so unnecessary. But this much must be plain deswte the Insuf ficiency of the history of the day: We are dealing with something far greater and far mgber than a mere conflict between .Austria and Senia or a war of conquest of Hapsburg or of Hoheiuollern, or the vain attainment of a "war lord's" ambitions, lie who -would jodge this struggle from so narrow a standpoint would measure the sun's diameter with a yardstick, rvrsonal "tiueetlons, yea. even questions cf state, vanish Into Inslgnlficancs and there la nothing left but the battle of two, clvWsator.A '.
