ran-American Neutrality.
Without hazarding a prediction of the final
action of tbe United States on the South Ameri
can appeal to secure exclusion of all belligerent
warships from the waters of the two Americas
and safeguard Pan-American commerce, it may
be assumed that our government will do noth
ing likely to imperil ita great Influence in the
ultimate ending of tbe European war. Pan-
American ' neutrality and the rights of Pan-
American irmuntrles, however, must be con
served at all events. And there Is no reason to
suppose the president cannot find a successful
approach to this situation, delicate though it
may appear In some of Its phases, since he suc
ceeded sixty days ago, without even making
the matter public, in suppressing aerial bomb
attacks on unfortified cities within the area of
actual war.
As the good friend of all factions in both
hemispheres, belligerents and noncombatants,
the United States surely has nothing to fear In
attempting the role of mediator of this South
American question. On the face of it, the South
American countries seem to have right on their
side in urging their demands. If this can be
clearly shown to tbe warring powers, one of
which already la said to favor compliance with
the demands, with nothing but additional
trouble involved in refusal, they certainly will
assent to any reasonable agreement we might
propose. While the situation calls for prompt
and vigorous action, it does not seem to justify
undue excitement on our part at present.
In the meantime, perhaps this episode should
remind the nations that their International rule,
which fixes national limits at three miles be
yond the sea line on the theory that that Is the
average firing distance of a man-of-war. Is
sorely in need of revision. Since this rule was
made, we should remember that men-of-war
have learned to shoot several times this dis
tance. So If the line is to be determined on
that basis, It ought to be set out some twenty
miles or more. Thla might enter into consid
eration In the Pan-American proposal of estab
lishing neutral cones, from which all belliger
ents wpuld be excluded.
, Consolidation.
There Is more talk right now for consolida
tion of South Omaha, Dundee. Florence and
other suburbs with Omaha to make the Greater
Omaha, which every one sees a-comlng, than
for a long time past. The feeling seems to be
pronounced and growing, not only here in the
city, but In the outlying areas that the time Is
almost ripe for consummation of the move if
only fair and equitable terms of merger can be
provided.
The Bee sees no reason why the people who
would be incorporated into the city's popula
tlon by consolidation cannot be assured of all
they are entitled to participation in the city
government, their share of the street and park
and other public improvements, full standard
maintenance of their schools and libraries, and
the taking over and continuance of their pres
ent municipal activities. Consolidation, of
course, would fall to accomplish its object if it
did not unify the administration, and do away
with duplicated offices, but in so doing it should
Droduca areata ffiplaniv and if It rfnna nnt
actually lighten the tax burden, at least give
the taxpayers more for their money.
If tbe question of consolidation is to be
tackled by the coming legislature, the details
should be carefully worked out In advance, and
in this the law-makers should have the help of
those in each of the towns familiar with the
conditions that must be met.
Cvnvict Jtoa2 Workers.
, New employment must be found for the
majority of male convicts in the penitentiary at
Lincoln, according to Warden Fenton, who
says the broom factory, where most of them
have worked, will be closed by a discontinuance
of the contract under which It operates. The
warden believes the prisoners should be used
for road building and that the legislature should
make provision for this. He says he could fur
nish a large force of able-bodied men, other
wise unemployed, for this very necessary work.
' Other states are up against this same prob
lem of the employment of convicts, our neigh
boring state of Iowa having 1,000 men that It
does not know what to do with'. Una thing is
certatn-these men must be kept at some sort
of wholesome work. Other states, notably our
neighbor, Colorado, for one, have made an emi
nent success of working their convicts on their
roads. Of the 1,000 convicts assigned to the
state penitentiary iK Canon City, 400 are re
served for road work. Both the state and the
convicts are said to derive the best kind of
mutual results from it. Colorado is well ad
vanced In the good roads movement, having ex
pended last year 13.000,000) for roads under
the direction of the State Highway commission
aqd It is said, and seems very plausible, that
this appropriation would have been more but
for the saving service of the convicts. The fact
is, as Colorado it ate officials say, the -state
would not, could not, afford to build so many
of these roads if it did not thus employ its 'state.
prisoners. Its plan, as we aay, is mutual in its
benefits, helping the state to have good roads
and helping the men to have good health and.
therefore, more healthful morals than might be
conduced by less wholesome employment within
the prison walls.
Our last Nebraska legislature passed a law
designed to make a i art In using our peni
tentiary convicts on road work, providing that
this labor could be had by outside counties or
cities on terms that were supposed to be par
ticularly attractive. But, as a matter of fact as
far as we can ascertain, not a single application
has come in to take advantage or this labor for
road work. Obviously, if working tbe roads Is
the solution, or even partial solution, of the
convict labor problem, as It seeiu to be in other
states, we In Nebraska, will have to patch our
law again to get down to practical operation.
Motor Cars in War
Work for Amerleaa F-terle.
Ever alnce the automobile first made Ita apnear-
anre It haa been reroa-nlsed that It was d-attned to
tx-rupy an Important portion In the transport service
of the modern army, not alone bec'auae of Its ability
to carry heavy loads, but also on account o' tho
speed with which It can carry supplies or men from
place to place. In fact, all the leading powers have
devoted considerable attention to equipping their
forces with proper vehicles, so designed as to render
them especially suitable for military use, and alrtady
there la a great variety of armored cars, guns flttd
with automobile chassis, motors for earning am
munition, ambulancea, cook wagons, etc., giving ex
cellent service In different countries now engaged
In war.
The effects of the tremendous destruction of motor
trucks and other mediums of transportation that have
been going on In Europe since the beginning of hos
tilities are already being felt by American manufac
turers. Within the lest month several large ship
ments of motor trucks destined for war service have
been made from New Tork, and there are reports
of larg contracts for similar vehicles being placed
In the United states to be manufactured and for
warded at the earliest possible date.
Exports Motaf Tracks.
Recently the eteamahlp guruga cleared for Liver
pool with a shipment of some WO five-ton motor
trucks. They were tested by experts as they were
delivered at the entrance to' the pier, and were sent
aboard the steamer as fast aa they were accepted.
Not far away, at the same time, another veasel was
receiving a consignment that was said to consist of
several hundred of these heavy duty vehicles. In
each - case the utmost secrecy was maintained re
garding the ultimata deatlnatton of these motor trucks,
and even the namea of the manufacturers and ship
pers were not disclosed.
Among the recent news dispatches was one which
stated that a company in Pennsylvania, manufactur
ing automobile frames and bodies, had received an
order, said to be from the French government, for
2, W0 auto frames, to be delivered, within the shortest
possible time. The specifications., are said to rail
for a strong steel frame of light weight, all of one
type, which will greatly facilitate quick delivery.
Types of Vehicle Saaafct.
A large steel manufacturing concern in the east
ern states is said to have been asked by the French
government to procure for use In the European war
a considerable number of motor vehicles. The num
ber Is not given, but the Inquiry Is reported to cover
not only motor trucks, but touring cars. The prlca
fixed for the motor trucks Is stated at (3.000 each.
In addition to these, It Is said that contracts are to
be placed for 250 motor tractors and 750 trailers, to
cost from 13.000 to M.500 each.
One American concern, making powerful tractors
of the "caterpillar" type, sold a number of lis ve
hicles both to European governments and to private
purchasers during two or three years preceding the
outbreak of the war. It Is now reported that prac
tically every one of these "caterpillars" has been
confiscated for war use. In Germany they are used
to haul huge siege guns, weighing thirty tons each.
that hare done so much damage to the seemingly
impregnable fortifications against which they have
been directed. These powerful guns were the surprise
of the European war, and the secret of their ex
istence was closely guarded by Germany. -
Available gapply.
For some years past several of the European na
tions have given subsidies to manufacturers and pur
chasers of certain types of motor vehicles In order
to secure standard models In the various classes. It
Is estimated that the military requirements ofaO-tr-
many and France, at the outbreak of the war, each
were In the neighborhood of 6.000 motor trucks. Great
Britain, owing to its comparatively small standing
army, did not need more than about. 1,000 of these
heavy vehicles. In considering the reserve supply.
most of which already has been commandeered for
military use. It must be remembered that industrial
motor vehicles are employed more extensively in Jie
British Isles than In any other .country, and that
therefore there wilt be enough in Great Britain to
meet the demands of the war department for some
time. In France the number of suoh yohlclea avail
able at the outbreak of hostilities was much smaller,
and the same was even mora the case ' In German
states. Italy bought quite a number of motor trucks,
the majority being of rather light construction, before
and during the recent war In Africa, These, for the
most part, were of Italian make. A number of mis
cellaneous Industrial vehicles were also employed In
the Balkan wars, but they were nothing like the
welt organised "fleets" of standard patterns that are
a feature of the present great conflict Dun's Intar

'The French Marshal Turenne was not only s
great general, but a man of slngulur honesty of
character as well. Many Incidents which are related
of him show his modesty, generosity and honesty, s
well as his courage and military ability. A little
atory of one of hla German campaigns Illustrates
his rare scrupulousness, even in time of war. .
The authorities of Frankfort believed, from the
movements of hla army, that he Intended passing
through their territory. They sent a deputation to
him which offered him a large sum of money If
ha would alter the direction of his march, and leave
Frankfort unmolested.
They were surprised In more ways than one by
his answer: "Gentlemen," said he, "my conscience
will not permit me to accept your money, for I have
never intended to lead my army through your town."'

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-T6 the Editor
of The Bee: In the current Issue ot the
Metropolitan Miss Anna Howard Shaw
wrltea under her own signature: "Like
most men, my dear father should never
have married." We have no quarrel with
the latter part of this sentence, but we
do cavil at the phrase, "like most men."
However, we've always had a suspicion
that Mies Shaw did not think much of
the home as an Institution and now we
know It.
If we grant the premise that "most
men should never marry," we inevitably
reach the conclusion that most women
will not be able to marry and that the
home, except for a chosen few. Is an
outworn Institution. Or does Miss Shaw
expect her few chosen men who, in her
opinion, should marry to adopt polygamy?
Does Miss Shaw always know Just what
she means? MARJORIE DORMAN.

OMAHA. Nov. .J-To the Editor 6f the
Bee: Now, that the election is over and
we have all become used to the great
war, how about our own little seven-for-
a-quarter ordinance? Seems to me some
thing of that kind was Initiated not long
ago and held up by the street car com
pany In a suit In the district court, in
which, if my memory serves me right,
the city won a sweeping victory. The
right of the city to regulate, the right
of the people to Initiate, the right
of the election commissioner to hold the
election, every question raised was de
cided against the company. That was last
spring some time.

wsa too much for our legal department,
It couldn't hold out Everybody sleeping

What a silly travesty! There may well
be a question as to whether seven fares
for 25 cents Is compensatory, but there
can be no question at all that the people
of Omaha have a right to a decision on
Lthls question. .Neither can there be any

to secure that decision. What Is the
sense In giving the people the right to
Initiate a law or an ordinance. If the
people's servants can nullify all their
efforts by refusing to test it out in the
courts when attacked? Why Is a legal
department, and why the taxes to pay for
such a luxury?
Of course, I know that the late elec
tion Is supposed to have been a black eye
to all these "attacks" on "business," but
then It la a fact that, when it is trying to
sell stock, the Omaha & Council fluffs
Street Railway company advertises that
It has been able to pay dividends on some
eleven million dollars worth o common
stock since 1911. and common stock Is
notoriously water In practically every
corporation. And then, all we want to do
Is to act a hearing. It the poor corpora
tions are being ground into the-earth by
the heartless people, ' why not show It
and get their right, that Is the corpora
tions' rights? ' '
There's a lesson here, if we will Just
take It Soma of us have been preaching
for years that all this talk ot "Measures,
not men," Is the veriest rot No "meas
ure" la ever going to be self-operating.
It takes men to operate them. Wo have
a a "seven-for-a-quarter measure" here
that Is perfectly good, but nobody is rid

we have elected won't operate the meas

the place of honest, capable men.
