The Law of Bombardment.
treroisn champions lndlgnsntly resent the
charge that Germany is resorting to "barbar
ous" snd "Illegal" methods of wsrfare in throw
tng bombs from Zeppelins or aeroplanes upon
the enemy occupying a besieged fortified city,
They innltt that this form of bombardment In
no way violates any rule or obligation of Inter
national law, but, on the contrary, is specially
recognlred by It, snd In this they unqnestlona
bly hsvr- rtrong ground to stand on.
The charge was originally made with refer
r-nce to romis dropped from Zeppelins over
Antwerp, and in a statement Issued by the
Chamber of Oerman-Ame.rican Commerce of
New York It in pointed out that Antwerp Is
beslegod forlreHs about which both armtes are
fighting for every foot of ground regardless of
human life, their own or others. Noncom-
batants who remain within a fortified town with
knowledge that It Is to be bombarded do so at
their own peril, and by neglecting to avail them
selves of their opportunity to get out subject
themselves to the same risks ns combatants.
Whetlur the explosive projoctllos are thrown by
heavy guns or dropped from Zeppellna Is lmma
terlal under the umtges and laws of war, the
only qiiftitlon being whether shells from roor-
tar,i would do more dsmage than bombs from
airships.
The statement referred to declares that the
accusation of the English and French against
Germany Is but an outcry at hf'lng beaten at
their own game, and recalls that at The Hague
confertMice of 1907 France, at that time in pos
sesion of tile most powerful fleet of aeroplanes
In the world. Insisted upon the right of a war
ring power to throw explosives from aircraft,
but England , objectod, presumably for the
reason that this wan the only weapon by which
It could be attacked while in undisputed control
of the sess. (Germany, on the other hand, of
fered to forego the use of explosives from air
cran provided England would relinquish Its
right to seise merchant ships belonging to cltl
sens of a hostile nation. Unable to get England
to yield the rule governing prises on the high
seas, Germany Joined France in upholding the
right to throw explosives from aircraft. In
deed, according to German advices, French avia
tors at the very beginning of the war threw
uoiuDs with less warrant upon the towns of
Ausburg and Nurnberg
From the viewpoint of the neutral the bom
bardment question strikes us like this: That
If Zeppelin-dropped explosives will end the war
quicker than siege batteries and battleships,
their use should not be barred, with action lim
ited, of course, to fortified areas occupied by
combatant armies
The New Pope.
Like his Illustrious predecessor, Cardinal
Delia Chlesa became pope as a 'dark horse" can
didate. His name had not been prominently
mentioned In connection with the holy see, and,
Indeed, while he haa had an active and conspic
uous official career, his fame had not extended
far abroad. In fact, he had been a cardinal only
since May.
But like Pius X. the new pope was
a foe to so-called modernism, receiving his
appointment as papal nuncio to Mad
rid chlsfly because of his influence In
combating the modern religious Ideal, against
which the late pope hurled his utmost powers.
The world may expect, therefore, a continua
tion of this featur of Pope Plus' rule. His more
extensive official experience, however, should
give Benedlcte XV a broader grasp on political
affairs than was possible for one trained al
most exclusively, as was Pius X, to the spiritual
offices of the priesthood-
Perhaps the underlying point of Interest In
this new selection la the personal and official
Intimacy which Chlesa had borne to the late
Cardinal Rampolla. who, but for death, wduld
undoubtedly have succeeded Plus, aa he would
hav succeeded Leo, but for the veto of Austria.
To Hold a Merchant Marine.
Many Standard Oil, United Fruit company
and Steel corporation ships heretofore flying"
foreign flags are to come under American reg
istry under the war emergency law, and the
question is asked, Will they return to the for
eign colors after peacw is restored ?
The question prompts another. Why did they
prefer foreign to domestic registry in the first
placet If It was because they found It more
profitable, It stands to reason that they will go
back or not as the governments make It to their
Interest.
These corporations are operating their ships
for business, not for pleasure. They are not
apt to remain under our registry unless uh
stantial Inducements are held out to them.
While the war lasts freight rates and war risks
may constitute sufficient premiums on domestic
registry, but to hold every ship after normal
conditions have been restored the United State
will have to pursue a new maritime policy
which is calculated to give us the rank of a first
class power among merchant marines.
Eulfi and Beason.
Observing the lack of enough "theory" aa
contrasted with too much "method" In our
common school teaching, the Chicago Herald
cites this hypothesis: i
Take the teaching of arithmetic. Question your own
boy or girl when puiiled over a sum. The rule" may
be glibly repeated, but is the reaaoa behind the rule
understood.
That Is the point exactly. The pupil, having
a good mi'iucry, haa been abls to commit the
hard and ftiKt rule and the way to apply It, prob
ably, without ever dreaming of the why or
wherefore of the rule. He might be able. In
deed, to reel off all the hundred and more rules
in mensuration 'and yet know little or nothing
as to the reasons of one.
Yet. we prate about the "tralulng tf think
ers" as the primary purpose of education and go
on day after day and year after year listlessly
drilling In rules, rules, rules. Put the stress ou
reasons, not rules. Sea to It that the boy Is ablu.
not only to apply a rule and get a certain result,
but to understsud and explain ever)' detail In
the proceei.. One lesson la thinking out the
reson for tlm rule will be worth a hundred In
simply committing and applying the rule.
When the returns are all la It will be possi
ble to figure out boa- many voters at our recent
primary started out bravely with a crossmsrk
opposite the name of one of .the candidates at
the top of the ticket, but became tired and quit
before trley got half way dowa the ballot.

OMAHA, Hept. 2 -To the Editor of The
Bee: Today la the anniversary of the
battle of Sedan where Napoleon and his
army of lo,(X were made prisoners of
war In INTO, and which I rememlxT as
yesterday, ss I was living with my par
ents clo to the Frin''h-!el-man line. .
I regret to the tlerman soldier pic
tured In the newspapers today as a eavea-e
from darkest Africa how they cut hands
off from Itelg!nn tioys to keep them from
carrying guns, how they killed their own
severely wounded merely to get rid of
thm, ami how they burled some alive,
not to mention what they did to women,
children and old people.
It Is pest my understanding: that Ameri
can newspapers can allow such un-
namable lies to slip In their print. I don't
doubt that they get their trash from
lylns England and France, and If lresl
rtent Wilson put a censor on every cable
that runs in from this Infernal country,
he would do more good than write a let
ter of admonition to the public. What
did Gei many ever do against thla country
to deserve this treatment? Do they for
get all the iiod they received from Ger
many and her people In this country? Do
tliey forset the brothers Von Bteuben who
fousht side by side with Oeorse Washing
ton to protect this country from the yoke
of England 140 years ago? Do they for
get the many thousands of soldiers and
some of tho foremost generals like ILme-
crans, Hlcgel and Carl Rhurs who helped
put down the rebellion fifty years ago,
and helped make America what it Is today?
Never mind, so long as the cable does
not break but I do not see why It aoes
not break for the Infernal lies it has to
carry. Let them tell their lies to tin
suspecting, hut klnd-of-ausplcious people.
The Germans are going on, and In fact,
they have never lost one engagement In
thla great conflict. England, France and
poor, little misguided Belgium are all on
their knees now. and the Cossack will
follow suit by and by. William II will
repeat what his great-sreat-greatuncle
Frederick tho Great did when he whipped
six nations down to the ground .single

Tho Problem of Bagging
Definitions In Point.
LINCOLN, Neb.. Hept. S.-To the Bdltor
of The Bee: There are at this time many
words In constant use, the meaning of
which is not generally definitely under
stood, and the meaning of which it Is not
altogether easy to give, as this hss varied
In the course of history. A few Illustra
tions may be given:
Caucasians One of the five great races
of the world, said to t.e the original from
which others were derived. The word in
cludea Europeans (excepting Turks, Hun
garians and rinna), Hindus, Arabs, Phoe
nicians, Hebrews, etc. The human race Is
usually divided on a color scheme Into five
classes, rirst, Caucasian, white, Europe;
second, Ethiopian, black. Africa: thlpH
Mongolian, yellow, Asia; fourth. Ameri
can, red. America; fifth, Malay, brown,
Oceanic.
Teutons A German people, first heard
or righting the Romans 113 B. C. The pres- I
eni uermans aro descended for the most
part from Teutons, Vandals, Pranks and
Alemannl. The Anglo-Saxons are Germans
originally. Germany at one time Included
all Kurope between Russia and the North
Ken (excepting France), and between the
Baltic and the Danube.
81avs-The Slavic group Includes the
Russians. Bulgarians. Jles. Servians.
Csecha and others, estimated In number
at more than 130.000,000, more than K.OOO.OOO
being" Russians and Poles. The ancient
Slavs were agricultural and averse to
war, and the last of the European people
to enter the sphere of modern civilisation.
The Pan-Klavlo leairue was an asitation
carried on In Russia looking toward the
Union of all Hlavlc peoples of Eurooe n.
der Russian rule. This league w as largely
the cause of the Turko-Russlan war of
M77, the Russians espousing tho cause of
the Bulgarians axainst the Turks. There
is a strong national feeling among Slavs
against Austrian, Hungarian or German
governments under which ther live Tn
Prague, for example, which is In Bohemia,
between Berlin and Vienna, German Is not
allowed to be used In public signs and
notices, the Csech language being Insisted
upoa. Ths oldest Slavic language la the
Bulgarian, which la still the ritual lan
guage of the Greek Orthodox Church In
Russia, Bulgaria and Servla.
Moacovltes-These were oriirlnaitv th
Inhabitants of Moscow; now Russians are
often so called.
Coesacks-Belloved to be a mixed race
of Tartars and Caucasians. They live In
the eastern part of Russia and each man
has to do soldier duty from IS to 50. and
provide a horse. They pay no taxes. Care
s taken not to discourage, by arovernment
Interference, their military tastas.
One might go on Indefinitely. I am"
doubtful If there Is anyone ho la well
enough versed In ethnology, sociology,
anmropoiogy and history to answer all
the questions Which might be asked about
the warring nations. 'jy a

1 Tactically all of the Jute in the world Is grown In
India. Large quantities of this Jute are Imported by
various countries foe the manufacture of cloth known
as burlap and for twine, mixtures with ther fibres,
and various other purposes. The protective tariff
built up very few burlap cloth manufactories In
America, one or two minor industries on the eait
coast making special fabric which, perhaps, pros
pered to some extent, but the major part of burlap
cloth manufactured in this country has been produced
by the nnltentlartea at San Quentln, CsX, and Walla
Walla, Wssh. Those penitentiaries Import the Jute
and manufacture oloth tor wheat bags, used by
larmers on the west coast. These wheat begs are of
heavy texture and quite expensive and they are re
quired on the west coast because vessels carrying
grain around the Cape foar that bulk grain will list
" nun are torcea to have ail grains loaded tn
sacks for safe carrying.
Because of the fact that there are no looms ta this
country suited to spinning coarse Jute fibre into .cloth
i"r nag purposes, it Is necessary for all manufac
turer of bags to Import the bulk of their burlap
ciotn rrom India.
English, piul owns ano controls nearly all of the
burlap cloth factories In India, although certain Amerl
cans are heavily Interested In India. In fact, one of
our leading bag manufacturers owns one of the larg
est Indian Jute cloth mills.
ine importation or burlap cloth . to America Is
mainly through our northern ports, as there are no
steamers direct from Caloutta to our southern gulf
port hlpments to New Orleans, for Instance, re
quire transfer at Liverpool, whereas shipments, for
Instance, to New Tork or Boeton may be made direct
from Calcutta, as these ships find Immediate return
loading.
It haa been stated on good authority that most of
the vessels carrying exporte from India are owned
by Germany, and It has been proved that a number
of these German vessels have been seised by the
British and the goods taken as contraband of war.
In consequence, for at least thirty days or more, no
ships have been loaded for exportation to this country
and naturally the limited amount of Jute or extra
amount of burlap In Scotland, If It were possible to
load ships to this country, would still be Insufficient
to supply the demand of American millers.
The euntom of millers In this country ,1s to depend
upon the hag manufacturers, and the bag manufac
turers seldom carry In stock a sufficient quantity of
cloth to serve the trade beyond a period of sixty days,
as these goods are bulky and run Into money very
fast. Likewise the burlap bag manufacturer, to keep
Ms trade supplied, must necessarily have burlap
cloth constantly In transit from India, for which he
establishes his foreign credits, and during the present
world-wide financial strain any Import commodity
compels the exporter and Importer to use extreme
caution in order to avoid heavy losses.
The stoppage of burlap goods In transit from Cat
cutta and the widespread advertising of the selaures
of vessels; the Immediate orders of all millers 'upon
the bag manufacturers for larger supplies than they
really need, produced an immediate shortage of
burlap sufficient to supply all demands, and In con
sequence burlap cloth in the standard width has
really doubled In value within the last thirty day a
One needs only to look at the map to discover that
It must take some time for burlap shipped from India
to reach this country. At the present time It la not
possible to ship any goods via the Hues canal, and
the longer route south will probably take as much as
three weeks extra time. In consequence, there is no
Immediate expectation of any relief or a large supply
of burlap to flU the requirements of Uie millers.
It is quite Impossible to weave cotton ss coarse as
burlap and produce any substitute for burlap at a
fair proportionate cost. In the first place the mills
of this country are not equipped to spin the yarns,
as no 'condition haa heretofore arisen In the valuo of
burlap making It possible for cotton cloth to abso
lutely substitute In all places, but we are confronted
today with another peculiar situation so far as cottjn
Is concerned.
In accordance with the post shipments, It was
expected that Germany this year would Import nt
least 1000.000 bales of staple cotton produced In our
southern states. The exportation of any cotton goods
from our southern ports to Germany or Austria Is
very Improbable thla season, and a committee of
the New York Cotton exchange has ' been actively
working, not only to liquidate the contracts between
cotton brokers snd the silled Interests, but also to
open new fields of credit for the relief of local banks
In the south. In fact, one of the suggestions advanced
Is that arrangements be made with the Federal Re
serve board, by which banking members may use cot
ton warehouse receipts as collateral whereby the val-ie
of cotton may officially be recognised, at last as hlgn
ns 8 cents, tn order that the southern planter may
not lose too' heavily. It Is figured that the act up. 1
cost of producing cotton Is at least 10 cents per
pound, and If the price goes much below this figuro
the hardship upon the south will bo very serious. .
This brings us to the point of Inquiry aa to the
ability of the south to turn a large surplus of cotton
Into a fa brio which will make a reasonable substitute
for burlap to be used particularly In the milling and
allied trades.
' The great bulk of cloth used in the manufacture of
bags for commercial purposes la, generally speaking,
forty Inches wide, snd a lanfe number of southern
mills'' are equipped with looms to make forty-Inch
cloth. Not all of these looms will produce cloth that
is a perfectly satisfactory and strong enough substi
tute for the hard service required for bag purposes,
but utiqueattunebly millions of yards of cotton goods
can be used thla winter If the consumer thoroughly
realises that a prime necessity exists, not only be
cause the cost will be. less to the consumer, "but be
cause of the general advantages derived from the
substitution ef our surplus cotton, for the Jute hereto
fore purchased In India.
The . attention of all consumers to the great ad
vantages to be derived In this country from the pro
duction and consumption of out own raw materials
Instead of the Importation of materials produced by
other countries will in Hself more than relieve all the
financial tenseness which may exist In various parts
of our country. In Nebraska, 'for Instance, the south
Is our steady patron for orr agricultural products,
and we should assist the south In every way possible
In the marketing of its cotton and Its sugar, and this
point of using cotton goods as a substitute for burlap
will be a relief not only to the south, but eventually
to the consumer, who necessarily must pay for the
container which carries the products of various manu
facturing Industrie.
When 109 pounds Is parked tn a baa. It requires
twenty bags for one ton of flour or feed. As the
average price of the cloth has been I cents per yard,
and It require one and one-half yards for a bag, tho
cost per ton of the Ut-th In the packages Is equal to
11.30 'without cost or margin to the bag manufacturer.
If the price of the cloth doubles In value, then the
i'ot per ton la II S, for which the consumer naturally
must pay, as the miller gets no margin out of the
coi-t of the container. Our suggestion for the generul
relief of the situattuii is for the government to de
termine how quickly the southern cotton mills can turn
their' cotton staple Into cloth which may be substi
tuted, for Imported burlap and also to Immediately
Investigate the transportation questions for the de
livery to this country of the many line of burlap
cloth for which our cotton mills cannot produce a
Substitute.

What happens
after it lights?
The fact that a match
lights only on a box
does not make it a
safe match.
What happens
when it lights and
after it lights? That
is what counts.
Does it "spark" or fly?
Does the head drop off?
Does the stick break ?
A match that does any of
these things is dangerous.
You cannot afford to use it
Safe Home Matches are
absolutely safe.
They light not only on the "
box, but also on any or
dinary abrasive surface.
They burn evenly. They
are non-poisonous. When
you blow one oui, it goes
out and it stays out there
is no after-glow.
