i
Ninth Weeit of the War.
If any one harbored the expectation at Its
outbreak that the groat war of nations was to be
short, sharp and decisive, and that one side was
to have the other completely at Its mercy after
the first onslaught, the beginning of the ninth
week of the conflict must bring deep disappoint
ment to such hopes.
We have seen and heard a great deal of
speculation on the probable duration of the war,
but In the period already elapsed so many cal
culations have gone amiss that tbe discussion
can be nothing but guesswork. It would be a
bold assertion for any one to say that up to the
present either combatant has scored a suffi
ciently decided advantage to warrant picking the
eventual winner with anything like reasonable
certainty, to say nothing of fixing the date of
the wlndup. When President Wilson in his
proclamation for a peace prayer service put the
day three weeks ahead, he took no chance that
the war would be over by that time, and the
occasion past for praying for peace.
It goes without saying, however, that noth
ing would bo so gratifying as an early oppor
tunity to set aside another day to offer prayers
of thanksgiving for the ending of hostilities, and
the resumption of only peaceful pursuits.
Expediting Consolidation.
The supreme court decision holding exempt
from taxation all property with title vested In
the Water board as publicly owned property
must exert a strong Influence for consolidation.
The municipalization of the water works has
seriously affected the town of Florence because
the taxes paid by the old water company
amounted to practically half of the total tax
revenues, and to throw the entire burden of local
government and of maintaining the public
schools upon the owners of the remaining prop
erty would double their tax burden unless the
outlays were materially curtailed.
What Is true with reference to Florence ap
plies also to other suburbs, Including South
Omaha, although perhaps In lesser degree. If
enlarging the municipal activities of Omaha Is
to Impair the financial resources of our subur
ban towns, the only way for them to offset or
recoup is to become part of the Greater Omaha.
Consolidation would help them in two ways,
namely, through elimination of needlessly dupli
cated officers, and through making the aggre
gate revenues and credit available for expendi
tures within any part of the city's boundaries.
More Ingratitude.
In his swing around the circle in Illinois,
Colonel Roosevelt devoted special attention to
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, renominated on
the republican ticket, picking upon him with un
usual virulence. He denounced Sherman as "a
dead cock in the pit" who was afraid to attack
Roger Sullivan. "Sherman and Sullivan," he de
clared to bis auditors, "are of the same type of
statesmanship, and heaven forfend that I should
call it statesmanship. They are of the same
type of politician. They are men wno will
never think once of your welfare either before
or after the election as against their own per
sonal interests."
Yet only two years ago Senator Sherman was
one of the colonel's "unafraid men," trying to
secure the republican nomination for Roosevelt,
taking as it were, his political life in his hands
to battle for his chief. We wonder now whether
Mr. Sherman would have pursued the course he
did in 1912 if be could have looked ahead
to 1914.
What War Does to the Campaign Textbook.
Another misfortune of the overshadowing
European war is the blow It deals to the cam
palgn textbook gotten out with such laborious
care. The democratic campaign textbook In par.
tlcular, the one to which our own "Met" waa sum
moned to contribute his literary genius, deals
with about everything except the one real live
issue which has sprung up since its pages went
to press. It contains a signed article by William
Jennings Bryan testifying to the exceptional high
character of the democratic administration. It
expatiates upon the achievements of the demo
cratic administration in all sorts of lines, and
furnishes material to defend democrata from
attack. But the faat moving-picture kaleido
scope of events has sent all these subjects for
the time being to obscurity to malte way for
the problems precipitated by the war, and the
money invested in the publication of the text
book is to all intents and purposes money
thrown away.
The Lore of the Battlefield.
It Is generally assumed that the distressing
experiences of our marooned American tourists
caught In the war sons will put a quietus on
over-seas travel for some time to come, and
stimulate our people to see America first. On
casual consideration that would seem to be the
natural consequence of the disturbance of the
European excursion business, hut sober second
thought raises at leaat a glimmer of doubt.
The war of the nations Is the most widely
advertised event of the century, and the havoc
wrought by the opposing armies will Inspire
world-wide awe and wonder. Historic battle
fields are in the making, and famous cities and
towns are undergoing a scourging bound to
leave scars to be healed only with time. What
attraction can any corner of the big round globe
offer more powerfully alluring to the alghtseer
than the area of all this conflict and carnage?
And what call for a travel tour that cannot be
put off easier than this?
Curiosity through all the ages has proved to
be an almost Irresistible loadstone. We re
member how in the week following our own tor
nado, eagerness to get a look at the wreckage
brought a hundred thousand people into Omaha
from the surrounding neighborhoods, over
crowding all means of conveyance and accom
modation arrangements. If a miniature cata
clysm like a wind storm could do that, what
magnetism may not the terrific concussion of
gigantic armies exert? If the lure of the battl
field is allowed to play with unchecked foroe,
it is reasonable to believe that there will not be
available ships enough after the war to satisfy
the demand for them.
German editors are reprinting with explo
sive chuckles Rudyard Kipling's "The Truce of
the Bear." in which Russia Is satirixed as "the
beast that walks like a man." The German
trust is particularly keen and timely, as Kip
Iiag's name appears In the "round robin" of
British authors charging Germany and the
kaiser with responsibility for the war.

OMAHA, hept. 36-To the Editor of
The Bee: I want to say that the street
decorations are most attractive and beau
tiful this year, far ahead of those of
last year, and the people who are put
ting them up should be complimented.
Nothing makes a more beautiful and
pleasing decoration than the American
flag and Afc-Par-Ben banners and bunt
ing. That above the buildings and street,
be In keeping with the streets, there
ought to be sn American flag afloat from
every flagstaff In the city from (Septem
ber V to October 10. Nothing makea a
better Impression on visitors coming Into
our city for the carnival than to be
greeted by hundreds of flags floating
from as many house tops. Every person
owning or representing a building with a
flagstaff should make It his business to
see that there was a flag at Ita top for
the few days of the carnival. There Is no
good reason why the owners of buildings
should not go to tha expense of a flag
to be used on all festival days, when the
city goes to considerable expense In deco
rating the streets and business men In
decorating their places of business. As
I said before the underside of the city
looks fine, and the upperslde decorated
as suggested, the two together will be
hard to beat. The newspapers might
take up this "Flag from housetop" propo
sition. W. Q. 81! RIVER.

Much haa been said pro and con as to the

while we Jo not know what changes
the outcome may bring forth, we do know
that tha Russian csar haa promised auton
omy to Poland, tha most persecuted na
tion on tha globe. If she would support
him agalnat Germany.
If this crime against civilisation that
la murdering thousands of men haa no
other result than giving liberty to over
25,000,000 oppressed, maltreated, abused
and persecuted Polish people. It will not
have been in vain. Very few but Poles
know what that promised autonomy
means, it meant freedom from conscrip
tion, from torture, from Indescribable
abuse, from tha stealthy assassin's knlfa
and gun.
Autonomy means the new birth of a
subjugated but never conquered nation
that haa given the world much of Ita
culture, art. Ideals of freedom, of civili
sation! It means freedom to a people
who, after years of servitude have kept
unbroken their nationality In the face

llolalaar Back Teachers' Pay.
OMAHA. Sept. J7. To the Editor of
The Bee: As the publlo conscience with
regard to condition In the public schools
seems to be awakening, may I call your
attention to a condition with regard to
salaries of teachers, which started last
year, and is, it seems, to bo continued.
Up to last year teachers were paid on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday
of the month, bringing naydsr not lstr
than the eighth of any month. Last year
a printed set of arbitrary datea for pay
days waa given US. putting several nf
them after the tenth. A quasi apology
waa maoa that It waa a hard times
measure and would be dlacontlnued.
This year, after eleven weeks of vaca
tion, during which wa received no pay,
we are given another printed card with
our first payday tha 11th of October
Those of us who have homes to care for
must, unless wa have saved from last
year's salary, forego the discountriver.
by telephone, gaa, electric light, water
ana ice companies. We must explain to
merchants, landlords and landladies that
wa cannot pay our bills before the tenth
Wa have no explanation other thaa that
the board sees fit to withhold it for two
week and haa planned to do the same
later on.
Is tha city of Omaha too poor to pay Ita
teacher? Is the Interest on the monev
for two weeks of mora account to tha
city than the earlier circulation of nearly
tha whole of the first month's payroll?
it seems to me a penny-wise, nound
foolish measure, but. oven so, wa havo
a right to our pay when wa havo earned
It why can wa not have It? X.

up at Lemberg, whkh Is In some ways badly situated,
but haa the advantage of lying In the center of tho
Gallclan plain, with half a dozen roads radiating 'n
all directions and giving a connection between Rus

Western Flghtlnsc Front.
The National Geographic society at Washington
compiled the following facts about the country where
the western armies are battling: Parls-Solssons-
Relms-Charlevllle The route from Parts to Charlevlll'?,
by way of 8oissons and Reims, takes one through a
territory rich In historical Interest. tlx miles out
from Paris Is found L Bourget, where tho Germans
repulsed the French In the ssnguinary struggles of
1H70. Twenty miles further on. In the park of tho
chateau of Ermenonvllle. Is the original tomb of Jean
Jacques Rousseau. Creny-en-Valols, the ancient capi
tal of a district which belonged from the fourteenth
century to a younger branch of the royal family of
France, and with a present-day population of about
7.000. lies sixteen miles to the north. Villers-Cotterets.
with about D.0GO inhabitants, eight and one-half miles
away, waa the birthplace of Alexander Dumas the
elder. A little further on Is Longpont, which has a
ruined abbey dating from tha twelth century. Sixty
five miles from Paris, Solssons, an ancient town for
merly fortified, with a population of about 15.000, Is
reached. The route from Solssons to Betms takes
one up the valley of the Atsne and Its tributary, the
Velea. Reims Is ona of the most interesting cities of
France. Christianity waa preached here In the fourth
century. About twenty miles out of Reims, half way
to Charlevllle, la Rethel, an Industrial town, with
about 7.500 Inhabitants. Three miles further on is
Amagne, a railway junction. A few milea on the road
enters the wooded and mountainous district of tha
Ardennes. To the right is Boulzlcourt. with Its large
powder factory, and at Mohon, another village, are
large work shops. Two miles further on Is Charlevllle,
an uninteresting town, with about 20,000 Inhabitants.
Other Points on Firing Line.
Amlena-Laon-Reima the country between Amiens
and Reims. France, Is populous. Ten miles east of
Amiens is VUlers-Bretonneau, an Industrial town with
about (.000 Inhabitants. The route now takes one
through the fertile districts of Santerre. Ham, with
a population of approximately 3,500, stands In a
marshy district thirty-six miles from Amiens. a
Fere, sixteen miles further on. captured by the Ger
mans In 1870, has one of the oldest schools of artillery
in the world. Laon, fifteen miles beyond La. Fere,
situated on an Isolated ridge some 330 feet above the
surrounding plain, forma with La Fere and Reims a
triangle of Important fortresses.
Argon ne A rocky, forest-clad plateau, extending
along the borders of Lorraine, Germany, and Cham
pagne, France. It haa a length of about sixty-three
miles, an average breadth of nineteen miles, and an
average height of 1.1M feet. There are few good
roads In this district. It lies between the valley of
the Alsno on the west and the valley of the Meuea
on the east, and Is one of the natural bulwarks be
tween Oermany and France. There are numeroua
forests clothing both the east and the west slopes of
tho plateau, the chief of them being that of Argonne,
extending for twenty-five miles between the Aire and
tha Aisne.
Ardennes A department of Franca on tha north
east frontier, with an area of 1028 square miles and a
population exceeding 8M.O0O. Ita rivers are the Meuse
and the Aisne. Ardennes la to France what tha Blue
Grass region of Kentucky Is to the United States; Its
horses are known throughout the country. Redan,
where the famous surrender of the French to tho Ger
mans took place, is located tn Ardennes.
