Civilized warfare is still war with all Its

spectators as well as combatants.
Another sad thought about It all is that
occidental England should have dragged oriental

The Turkish crown prince and minister to

A French war official, commenting on the
relative paucity of deaths in the war, says only
two of every 100 men are killed. Only 120,000
of the 6,000,000 engaged on both sides will die
at that rate. What Is 120.000 men!

According to Commissioner of Education
Claxton, students pursuing hlKher education
must now look almost entirely to the United
Slates, for the time st least. So he has ordered
the publication of a special bulletin describing
facilities for professional and collegiate study
in this country for distribution abroad.
While it reverses the currents of higher
educational pursuit for Europe to come to
America, possibly we may In this way be able to
Instill some thoughts which shall become the
means of persuading older heads in Europe of
the futility and folly of military government.
The very proposition Is a forceful reminder of
the position our country occupies, sublimely Iso
lated bv war to serve the higher needs of hu
manity In diplomatic, commercial and ethical
spheres alike. To no other nation has a much
greater opportunity ever come. The students
who rome to us from other countries win nave
no occasion for feeling estranged, for we all at
nome time or another came from old world an-
cest ry.
The Test of Constitutionalism,
if we ask why It is that our system (of
overnmenn has not always been successful in
other countries, the true answer Is that It haa
never been entirely adopted," says naviri jajn
Mill, writing in the North American Review on
"The State and the Citizen.
In most countries where the principle or
constitutional government has been incu.
eiiperlor emphasis has fallen on the person in
stead of the principle and the experiment has
failed. That seems to be the mam trouoi
Mexico today. It has never been more than a
.n,in.i ronnhlle. The mass of Its people are
aa ignorant of the real principles of constitu
tional government as those of a lana in ,....
monarchy has always existed. They are ln-
-ie.i k invaitv to leaders, not by love oi coun
try. They fight for factionalism, not for their
government.
In the United States the dtircrence is no
ticeable. Except for the contest over numma-
nH Koceslon. Dr. Hill points out. Ameri
cans have not only respected the provisions of
the constitution, but have regarded judicial in
terpretation of it as the palladium or uie.r
liberties. "There Is something in the American
character." says he, "that places more on
fldence in settled principles than In the trumpet
call of theorists, partisans and petitioners of
patronage." That, of course, s conuu.im.
when the air Is so often clogged with the trum
pet calls.
So It is but fair to conclude mat nnnu
. -1 - ne .11. nan land we find a Roemlng
break-down In constitutional government, it is
not this which Is failing, for nownere e.-it
here has constitutional government been given
full trial under most favorable circumsiancea.
"Beware of Pickpockets."
.ho dpleeatlon from Omaha went to
Lincoln last week to Httend the state fair, the
first exhibit which struck them run in me iaie
. r.rnt.u.ion of nlacards bearing large
letters reading "Ileware of Pickpockets." What
i.t.. o rirt aeem offensive was, In irutn, a
timely admonition for the visitors to take home
with them for it apples not only to tne common
kind of petty thievery, but lo to the more
polite forms of picking the public pocket In a
way loss obvious, but equally effective.
"ISeware of Pickpockets" in a particularly
pertinent warning for our voters when they
rome to choose their public servants. A sheriff
who offers his services to the taxpayers for a
stipulated compensation, and then trtes to gel
away with an additional $50,000 Jail feeding
graft, even though unsuccessful, has no right to
oYnnrt the endorsement of a re-election. A dis
trict court clerk who takes the office with loud
promises of reform, and then seeks to hold out
$15,000 to, $20,000 of naturalization and In
sanity fees Is In a business very tilmilar to pocket
picking. We used to have treasurers who picked
our pockets by absorbing the interest paid by
favored banks on deposits of public money in
their keeping, but happily we have passed that
stage, and only a few remnants of the more
delicate forma of fee grabbing remain but not
for long.
The Little Country Theater.
It is quite agreed that if the country boys
and girls are to be held on the farm in larger
numbers than at present, it will be necessary to
afford them more of the city attractions which
lure them away. And simply superior economic
advantages will not do, at least, have not done.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
and the amount of play which the country
Jack's city cousin is able to crowd into hla
workaday life tends to make Jack restless to
get to town.
So, to meet this need, a lot of "soclallilng"
of country life has been tried. The latest
scheme has been launched by the bureau of
education of the Interior department in the
nature of the "little country theater," now in use
by the North Dakota Agricultural college. It it
proves successful there, it will be tried else
where, with a visw of general and permanent
use. The theater is to be built by the college or
organization conducting it. Is to seat 200 and
afford such plays as may be accommodated la
any well-regulated small-sized bouse.
As a part of a general plan for "cltyfylng,"
so to speak, the country lite, this ought to
prove helpful. Why it Bhould continue to depend
upon the paternalism of the government,
though, Is not clear. Now that the bureau of
education has Introduced the plan, if It Is ac
ceptable, it ought to be taken up by private in
stitutions or communities. Its permanent suc
cess, of course, would be a red feather in the
cap of thla new federal department
One of our democratic legislative candldatea
ascribes his nomination to the fact that he in
troduced a suffrage resolution in the house six
years ago that was beaten by only one vote.
Yes. but another law-maker who championed
woman suffrage in the legislature only last year,
when he made the principal speech in behalf of
votes for women, failed of renomlnatlon on
the republican ticket, which would indicate that
the suffrage sword la a two-edged weapon.
Germany's Lead in Surgery

By Dr. X.. Zwald,
Pureccn ai.d prnfeai-or In Fordlimn Cniverslty.
' War euracry Is a ape'lal hrai-h if medical
m Icnie in (lirmany, with an eMahllshed chair at a-li
of tin universities. No physician who did tint pase
his examination In war suigery la given his diploma
ami the pcrrrilsil"n to prai tlce his profession The
education of (icrnian war sureenns Is In every respect
mm h more thorough ami complete than that of the
French. Ucrmany has p avissed a special school of
military surgery for more than a hundred years In
the Institution of the Pe.r.hilrr1 In Berlin. The 'Pep.
Inlere' hns a constant attendance of ) medp-al stu
dents, who, during the whole course of their studies,
are being taken care of hy the funds of the Institu
tion. Kvcn their sending money is supplied by the
government. These men are especially trained fur
naval and military surgery and follow the colora ia
soon as war la declared.
"All lending surgeona of Oermany. especially the
chiefs nf the surgical departments of all universities,
are put a la suite of the army, and In case of war
they, as well as the w-hole staff of their assistants,
follow the soldiers In the field To douht the efficiency
of Ocrman surgery and their clinical achievements,
means to doubt the surgery and the surgical treat
ment of all the physicians and surgeons of the world
combined There Isn't a clinic or a surgical depart
ment In Oermany that Is not frequented constantly
by hundreda of French. English. American, Japanese.
Chinese and Spanish physicians. They come to er
fei t their knowledge. They tske advantage of the
studies and experlmenta of German professors. They
ara looked upon as authority after they get back to
their own country. How many thousands of our
American surgeons took post-graduate courses nt
Herman universities? The leadlnft surgeons of Amer
ica are Just for this reason leaders In their profession.
"Oermany always welcomed everybody to par
ticipate In tha results of her work extending over
lung periods, rteeent wars have proved the efficiency
and the high standard of Herman field eurgery. Ger
many has sent more surgeons, mire nurses, morn
euulpment to the seat of war during the last thirty
years than all the "other countries combined. Any
body who wishes to acquaint hlmaclf with the truth
fulness of this statement might take a walk to the
public library and read the standard works of
Kamarch and Hergmann and their comparative sta
tistics of all the big wars of the last half century.
"I only want t mention that Oermany sent to
Turkey alone during the last Balkan war seven Ked
Cross expeditions, each equipped with hundreds of
cots, sterilizing apparatuses, complete operation room
outfits and even all the small things needed nut only
for field aurgery. hut also for field nursing.
"I, myself, have witnessed the German sanitary
troops laoldlcra and nursea that ire trained to tako
care of the sick and wounded) during Herman and
French maneuvers, 'the war In peace.' I don't need
to mention the Kngllsh encampment of troops 1 saw,
aa they are a negligible quajvttty from a medical
atandpolnt. In the attempts to find the wounded In
the field; to discriminate between those who ar
severely wounded and those that will be aoon re
stored; the transportation of patients; field aurgery
and field nursing of Oermany cannot be compared to
that mf any other country.
"The wounded are gathered up hy men equipped
with searchlights hy night and with the assistance
of dogs. Young German surgeons are dlrertly In the
firing line. They are designated to determine how
severely the fallen one Is wounded. They give orders
to orderlies to transport the different wounded back
to the first, second or third lino of surgical field
hospitals.
"It Is a curious Incident and so significant that
Fiance and England and even Japan for the lost ten
years received their supply of these first aid cases
from German manufacturers; that all those carried
by the soldiers of all nations bear the mark 'Made
In Germany;' hence, literally, all bleeding caused by
Herman bullets Is stopped by German absorbent cot
ton; all wounds Inflicted by German projectiles ;ir
taken care of by German surgical devlcea.
"Just aa the conatltuent parte of the explosive
substance used by the German army are secret, the
Ingredients of the disinfecting substance "Mastlx,"
used with the best reaulta In the German army, are
guarded aa a secret. The 'Mastlx' ia a salve. It la
applied in the absence of bandages or other blond
stupplng material over the wound and the neighbor
ing surface. Exposed to the air It Immediately
hardena, stopping the bleeding, closing the wound air
tight, eliminating the danger of Infection. Trans
portation facilities of the wounded to field hospitals
have been Invented. Improved and methodically ap
plied by German surgeons during the last ten years.
"It aeema almost beyond human faculty to do
moro fur her wounded soldiers than Germany la doing
today, not only for thoae that wear German uniforms,
but for everybody without discrimination of race or
nation, requiring surgical attention on the battlefield.
The highest principle of the German sanitary corps,
the one that nobody would dare to sin against, la:
'If a man ia wounded, ho haa ceaaed to be an enemy.'
"Are not the Instruments he uses made by German
Instrument makera and mostly known to the profes
sion by German names? Are not the books and Jour
nals that keep htm in touch with hla profession, cit
ing on nearly every page thla or that great operation
performed by a German Burgeon? Are not hundreds
of operations that he performa named after German
professors who performed them for the first time?
"I mention only one man. Prof. Pr. Hlldebrand,
who haa treated over one hundred thousand wounded
men in the recent wars In Europe, and who made
war surgery a sieolal branch of the medical depart
ment In Oermany. And Germany possesses hundreds
of hla type.
"Japan'a field aurgery In her war against Russia
waa very superior. Everybody knows where the cun
ning, little yellow fellow studied his art of aurgery.
"In the llalkan wara W per cent of those shot
through the head and treated by other than German
field Burgeons, died. The French and English sur
geons are daring. Hut they lost their heada too
uulckly and Hike the most extreme steps to aave thj
life of the patient. In many Instances they trephined
the skull, and the results were Increasing mortality.
At the same time only 10 per cent of those treated by
German field surgeons died. The German military
aurgeon knows as well aa the aoldler that the best
method to conquer the enemy Is to study the case
profoundly aa It Is; to devise, after careful considera
tion of all circumstances, a certain plan of action
and then adhere to It. Statistics of results of Ger
man field surgery show that this mcthol is far supeit r
to any other.
"A day or two ago I saw a cable sent by an
English field surgeon of high command from Eng.
land, railing for American surgical assistance. Ger
many bo far has not needed the assistance of any
nation. One needa only to look at German military
surgical inventions; at its wlumlnous, extensive litera
ture: at the thousands and thousands pt namea of
reputable physicians and surgeons ready to enroll
In Its armies In time of need; one needs only to read
the part the German surgeons and nurses took In tha
wars of other nations during the last fifty years, and
only ignorance or unjust partiality can assert that
Germany is not also in this field of military science
the leading country.
"(Significant are the reports of Dr. YVtegand that
apiieared In tha same edition of a New York news
paper aa the accusation against German aurgery.
Dr. Wlegand examined the bandagea of hundreds of
wounded soldlera during his trip through the Belgian
seat of war. He observed that all bandagea that had
been applied by German surgeons sat correctly and ef
ficiently, while those applied by French or English
surgeons had sllpi cd. Cip..:ng the wound to in

OMAHA, Sepi 13.To the Editor of The
Iter: I a m a constant reader rf your
letter b,x departm-nt of The Bee and
take great jieanurc In reading the various
letters appearing therein each day. How
err, many of them, especially those
ill on the European question, seem to mc
to Nirder upon the ridiculous. For In
stances; 1. Many writers maintain that had It
not been for tho "Militarism" of Europe
there would have been no wai. They
say, "Ixok at the Lnlted State?. We
keep no large armies. Wo are a peaceful
natlon-at peace with the world.'" Mow
foollah! Why should we not maintain
a large and finely equipped armv' Why
have we not a large navy, such aa would
control the seas of the western hemis
phere? simply this; what neighorlng
countries have we to fear? lo we re
quire a large army and a strongly forti
fied boundary to protect ourselves from
an Invasion of the Mexicans? Or, do we
need to piciare ourselxts for a possible
attai k from the Canadian or English,
by land or sea? Certainly not. There
Is no necessity for such a thing, for we
are well able to take care of ourselves
with our present military outlay. But.
suppose we w?re like Oermany or France
surrounded on every side by strong and
dangerous powers whose, peoples hnte and
fear eai h other with an Intensity second
only to that of class hatred. Why, we
wuuld seek to protect ourselves end we
would adopt such measures as would be
necessary to maintain our security. Sup
PLse Japan bounded us on the south In
stead of Mexico. I leave the question
with the thinking public. Would we be
content with our present army of about
,000 men?
2. The same writers maintain that
Germany brought on this war. If Ger
many wanted war if it desires the com
mercial and military supremacy of the
world do you suppose It would have In
vited the hostility of all the nations of
Europe at once? Io you suppose for a
moment that as broadminded and far
sighted a man aa Emperor William would
t'ndertake such a hazardous task as all
that, when he could have whipped them
all, one at a time, as la generally con
ceeded? No, It was not the kaiser's de
sire, but It was hla choice between fight
ing or seeing hia beloved country crushed
beneath the weight of the other great
and conspiring nations. "E. B."

Germany of all kinds of crime and wishes

OMAHA, Sept. 13 -To the Editor of The
Bee: "Has Christianity Broken Down?"
Is the question now asked alike by all
mankind.
Each of the European nations with their
"diabolical machinery, exquisite in devil
ish nesa and magnificent in construction,"
all praying to the same God for the suc
cess of their armiea! Unparalleled In the
world's history! Millions of men herded
to the front to kill and to be killed for
they know not what. Just because two
heathen devil and Imp possessed "war
lords'" clamor for blood!
The atheist and pessimist will tell you
that God is dead, if there Is a God, or
that He la a monstrous giant who. after
setting the universe In a tangle, has re
tired. But wait for the day after for
that la God'e day, and remember that
"God will not be mocked."
Christianity has not failed! The Judg
ment day of a self-styled wisdom has
ccme and the midnight hour for the house
of Hapsburg. for the house of Hohen
sollern. for England, Russia, and France
Ij near. Tha day after, God's day and
then what?
A new Christianity born In the spirit of
Him who waa nailed to the cross, out of
which will grow a new democracy mod
eled on the conception of humanity of the
Individual. Out of it will grow a new

OMAHA. Sept. 13 To the Editor of The
Bee: Helmhlolti. the Prusslsn. Whether
as the Chicago Tribune aays that the
phllosphere and Psychologists have given
a sorry account of themselves, talked like
ordinary mortals about the war and have
shown prejudice and blindness to the
facts or not, below will show how the
clock of civilization is being set back in
a sketch of tha greatest master mind
Germany ever produced.
Hermann von Helmholts (l2l-isft4) the
great Prussian scientist taught art.
anatomy, physiology, surgery, mathe
matics, cheiulalry, electricity and mag.
netism. rhvaice, meterology and theoreti
cal m' hanli s In the universities of
Kiwnigsberg, Benn, Heidieberg, l.eipslg
and Berlin.
He was master of them all and wi,s
probably the greatest scientist the world
has ever known, greater than even Sir
William Thompson (Lord Kelvin) With
such men Ed'eon does not compare, for
although known as a great Inventrr, the
others Interpreted the laws of nature and
piit them before us as an open book
Hflmholtx visited thla country at the
time of the Chicago world s fsfr OW.i
and In going on farther to the Pacific
coaat, was Induced to stop over In Omaha,
where he was entertained at dinner here
by a few who knew of the wonderful
record of the man they were to meet.
Returning home he fell down sta'rs on
the steamer and broke it's leg, from which
he never recovered
His work on sound that revolutlon'zed
everything acoustic, and also all the
theories of music Is In the public library
here. His work on optics that d'd the
same for the science :s so ntupendnus
that It has never been translated Into
English until very recently.
Ilelholtx first expounded the lsw of the
cnscratlon of energy, as great a .dis
covery as Newton's law pf gravity.
It wss Helmholtzs experiments In
physiology and his mca.Mircinents of time
In the reaction of nervous energy that
put metarhysics In fh scrap-hcav and
brought on the study of psychology by
scientific methods and burled trans
rontalism (imagination) forecr. Thus,
you will notice In the United States to
day we have chairs in the Universities
of Pennsylvania. Johns Hopkins. Colum
bia, Harvard, Cornell, Chicago and others
devoted to that perl f philosophy called
psychology and under such men as Wil
liam James. Hugo Munsteiberg, Catell,
O. Stanley Hall, Tlehcner and others.
These men are trying to explain on
scientific grounds wh.it is meant Ky con
sciousness or our will or as Herbert
Spencer says "what la tlvs that thinks?"
These are the schools of William Wundt
of I-elpslg, who was a student of Helm
holtx at Heldlenerg
That school hss and Is now going so
far as to wrestle with the awful problem
of the soul (whatever it may be) and
such men aa Sir William Croolis, Sir
Oliver Iodge. William James, Maurice
Maeterlinck, William Stedt and our own
Mark Twain used to so love to bothei
his head about telepathy snd hypnotism
Here was th work being done In regsrd
to the transmigration and reincarnation
of tho aoul probably a hopeless tak.
Another branch of this work is psyihlarty
or the treatment of mpntal diseases by
mind like the Emmanuel movement and
even Christian Science comes under this
head, although hardly scientific.
All such research, the war will probably
stop for a time and It will have the same
Influence on arts In Europe.

That through the long length and breadth
or the land
Great conflicts Bhould rage with a merci
less hand?
That millions must perish in battle
alone.
And never once dream that their souls
were their own?
Each man has one life, and but one. his
to live:
Each man has one life, and but one, his
to give:
And when It is given for conflict of hell
Can we sav. "It is well worth his soul.
It l well?"
Intelllaent mind In the form of a God
Is removed from the beast as a pearl
from n clod :
He holds peace and honor and love In his
hand.
And bends all his powers to enlighten
the land.
Intelligent mind has a right to be heard
Before the ttern menace of cannon and
sword.
Not far he the day when hostilities cease.
And the whole world Is clothed In in
finite peace DAVID.
