The Veiled Lar.g-nage of Diplomacy.
George Jlernsrd Shaw thinks where n:s gov
ernment erred In Its ante-bellum negotiations
with the kaiser was In not "offering Germany a
way out" Instead of driving It "to desperation,
all because it was not safe to talk frankly to
the labor party and the old liberals about for
eign affairs." .War, he thinks, might have been
averted bad England simply said to the kaiser
that It stood for the Oermany ot Goethe and
Beethoven and against that of the Iron Chan
cellor, pledging England's guarantee against
Russia "Just as heartily as we now guarantee
Prance against you" In consideration of Ger
many's adoption of the peace program, This,
Shaw explains, would have furnished an alterna
tive and possibly the way to world peace.
Whether It would or not, the cogency cf the
plea for plain talk Instead ot the veiled language
of diplomacy, seems by now securely estab
lished. Certainly, as the British critic says, out
spokenness could have caused no worse calamity
than what has hsppened. ( Nations do not "beat
around the bush" In discussing domestic affairs
and may learn from the awful cataclysm tear
ing at the foundations of society the value of
direct and simple terms ot intercoaiee In mat
ters International.
The Big Lawyers Are for It
. If Elihu Root and William Howard Taft, two
of America's greatest lawyers, togetnor with the
president of the United States and an associate
Justice of the supreme court' both of these also
lawyers can afford to ' plead for surer and
swifter Justice, the elimination of useless red
tape and all those devious devices that retard
the machinery of the courts. Barely the rank and
file of the profession can well fall into line for
these reforms. The significance of these ap
peals ought not be lost on the lawyers on or
off the bench, who wink at, or engage in, the
discredited shady methods.
The matter ot popularizing the law and exalt
ing the courts In public confidence and respect
was discussed by the four principal speakers
before the American Bar association, and Sen
ator Root, it seems to ns, struck a Keynote when
he said, referring to the "layman's criticism of
the lawyer," that "lawyers ought to apply the
rules of evidence with more regard to common
sense." If the Judges would take It on them
selves to see that the lawyers do this, tt would
not only tend to popularise the law, but remove
the basis for much of the prevalent contempt
"for" courts. So long as the layman has the'
thoroughly-aroused sympathy and . support
of the biggest men at the bar In his criticism,
however, he need not succumb to discourage
ment. " (
Up for Reflection.
.Of the Un nominees on the republican cpunty
ticket seven are up for re-election, their official
records having been endorsed in the primary by
the voters of their own party. In other words,
the republicans present seven county officer as
entitled to the continued confidence of the pub
lic by reason of faithful service already ren
dered. ' Those candidates are:
For county clerk Frank Power
For treaaurer , William (J. Vre
For surveyor Louie E.. Adams
For coroner Willie O. Crosby
For superintendent.......... ,,,...W. A. Yoder
For eommleetoners. John C. Lynch
Henry 8. McDonald
t. Each of these icounty officers has been, and
Is cow, conducting the public's .business devolv
ing upon them, respectively, la manner that
Invites popular approval. The only effective
way this approval can be manifested Is for the
people at the coming election to vote them com
missions to serve for another term.
Capitulation of the Colonel.
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from tha gatea of gold. ....
And as soon as the "ninety and Bine were
afely laid In the shelter of the fold" the cry
went up louder and shriller and the search be
came more persistent for the lone, lost colonel,
straying somewhere In the blutgrass hills and
Valleys of old Kentucky.
Colonel Harvey's capitulation, of course,
only Increased the anxiety for the return ot
Marse Henry, the last ot recalcitrants. No
oubt the New York colonel Joined heartily In
the search, lifted his voice lustily In the chorus
of beseeching appeals, for It was sot long e'er
the colonel that was lost Is found.
. Now, what rejoicing within the camp of the
democratic shepherd. Colonel Watterson, as
gentle and docile as any little lamb you ever
caw, came right out cf the briers and bramble-
bushes and walked straight up 'to the gate ot
the White House when he heard that last plain
tive cry, and now all Is Joy and gladness. Ttsre
will be no more naughty double-column edi
torials In the Courier-Journal making fun of a
mere professor, who, by the shift ot strange
fortune, Is lifted from the presidency of a col
lege to that of the nation. Another cold winter
Is ahead. AH hands must turn In and help,
Even the one-term plank la split up for fuel.
It is only two years till another campaign rolls
round. Iet It be said of every democratic
colonel, "He seen his duty and dona it."
.The man voting the straight party circle
ticket at the coming election here in Omaha will
still, to express himself on all offices and meas
ures on the ballot, have to make twelve cross
marks. And If he Is not disposed to gulp down
his party ticket whole, he will have to make
sixty-nine crossiuarks to record himself on each
office or nieautire separately. Does anyone

From advance PWts rf tha book on "The War In
Kurope " by Trof. Albert Buahnell Hart of Har

Military Point mt View.
"The war cannot fall to change tha point of view,
both of military men and of statesmen, with regard
to tha nature and s se of our military force. In com
parison with tha figurea given In earlier chapters
for foreign armlea our regular force la a bajatelle.
Tha Continental United States has a population of
ever 100,0n0,0ri0, which la about that ef Oermany and
Italy together, but these two powers keep up peace
forces which together amount to about l.OXI.OOO men,
while the United States army haa a strength of so.OQO
rank and file besides t.0"e officers.
"Our army la less than one tenth of 1 per cent
of the population; wa had fewer soldiers ready for
service In July, U14, than Belgium, with Its S.MO.000
people. The United States Is prodigal In the amount
It spends for tMe force. The military appropriations
for tha last complete year were tl lo.ooo.ooo, which Is
as much as waa spent by Austria-Hungary la the
same year.
t'ailteal States Defeases.
"It la neceseary for tha United States to think
about Its defense, because a failure to provide for
the future would be a terrible calamity for the cauae of
popular sovernment. We have put all our money into
the bank of free government! we have assumed that
the voter la bound to look out for the Interest of the
whole community; that tha taxpayer will cheerfully
make sacrifices to maintain a sovernment which he
In part controls.
"It took ua a year to enlist and drill armies such
ss appeared In Oermany and France within three
daya of the mobilisation order. In, tha following
twelve months tha Army ef the Potomatf four times
advanced, delivered Its blow, and retired to the shelter
of Ita forts; while the French arm haa been flshtlng
in line since September 7 and still holds Jte ground. It
was three years before the eastern army found a
general who could utilise It In OeeeraT Grant; the
Oerman commanders were designated and proved la
maneuvers years before the eresh came.
"Both north and south had to make srenerals out
of middle-aged civilians; there Is not an officer In
any one ef (he European armlea holding an Important
command who has not had a lifetime of military experiences.

'The United States might as well awake to the
fact that we shall be ruined If wa have nothing better
than the organization of Mt, or the organisation of
tm, when a nation of 80,0oo,ooo ware able after elcht
weeks' delay, to send a military force ef 17,00 men
to take Cube, In a state of eonfuslon and disharmony.
Otherwise the day of our great democracy will pasai
ror eitner some centralised monarchy will descend
upon ua with his battalions ef Infantry and squadrons
ef ships, aeroplanes, and submarines, every detail
thought out beforehand, every contingency considered,
and teach us the cost of poor preparation: or else
the American people will rise and ereate a dlctstor
who may save them front destruction.
"Whatever the American force, large or smsll,
whatever the warehlpg end forts and regiments, we
must learn the lesson that In way or In peace tha
great results are accomplished by those who think
beforehand, make preparations, accumulate materials,
develop commanders and submit to the, guidance of
experts la all technical matters.

"This country Is not likely to adopt the Idea that
It can afford to give or need give two or three yeara
out or .he moat productive part of a young man's
life to learn the art of war; but there la much te be
said for the 8wls system ef universal service frr
brief periods, counting together to about sis, months,
and more for the officers. The Swiss are very tike
the Americana In their Individuality and democracy
and neither of those qualities haa been cut down by
such service. In spite of the undesirable side ef bar
rack Ufa, whloh Is a severe test on a young man's
morals, such a universal service would do jnuch to
set up American youth, to push back their shoulders,
Inflate their lungs, train their leg muscles, teach them
to do what they are told, make them aware that
every manchlld In the world la born to pwform service
at the behest of older people. It will take the boys
out of the slums and the school and the farms and

their ewn country Is, give them the feeling that they
are responsible for Its welfare and defense. U the

says, will cost a little more money to

Now, Isn't It about time for the state
to do Ita own printing? Leglalatore who
hope to sit In the next session of the
Nebraska legislature are now making
speeches and promises that. If electwd,
they wtjl be on guard to protect the tax

And, no doubt, they mean It, too.
Well, then, la a report of the state
