Statecraft Subject to Change.
If Italy, as cemi imminent, should enter the
present war, the action will simply emphasls
the fallibility of statecraft, by bringing to an
end the drelbund, which for o long a time domi
nated the affairs of Europe, and in a Urge mean
tire thoae of the world. Otto von Bismarck built
weir when he laid the foundations of the Ger
man empire, and on the agreement between Ger
many, Austria and Italy he laid much emphasis.
When von Caprivl came to office, after the sep
aration between Wllhelm II and Bismarck, he
devoted much of his ability to completing tho
Triple Alliance, and in It had the active co-operation
of Crlepl, Italy's great statesman of the clos
ing quarter of the Nineteenth century., Aus
tria's share in these negotiations was more or
less passive, because of the relations between
that empire and Italy, but the final agreements
were so entirely acceptable at Vienna that no
serious protest was raised there.
For twenty-five years England and France,
each with Its own purpose to serve, have sought
for a combination that would offset the strength
of the drelbund. Russia was unapproachable,
having been considered favorable In certain
phases of the alliance, until after the war with
Japan. Then, by a strange turn of the affairs
of diplomacy, the Triple Entente was made pos
sible, although it was not brought to a stage of
actual coalition until after the Agadlr Incident,
which the kaiser cleverly used to make sure of
the force of the understanding between the trio
of powers now allied against Germany in war.
This alignment of Interests Is what made the
present conflict in Europe almost a certainty;
at least the warriors of the several countries lost
little time in making ready.
In reviewing the steps by which the nations
of Europe have approached the struggle that is
now being so disastrously waged, the observer
can not fall being Impressed by the selfishness
of the nationa aa exhibited in their policies.
U Italy joins the battle, it will be but another
scrap of paper torn up, because of Jealousies
and enmities that have root in the dim past.
Strength of Omaha Banks.
Another merger between local banking firm
calls attention to the fact that a number of such
have taken place in the past, and with the in
variable result that the consolidated institution
has developed; into one of the leaders. Omaha
banks rank high in the financial world, because
of their solidity, resting on the essential quality
of sound, conservative methods. The business
transacted by these banks ia unusually Urge for
a city of Omaha's size, but has solid support.
The' commercial and industrial importance of
the city, far beyond its numerical position in the
census of population, Is reflected in the clearing
house reports, a prestige that can not be gain
said. With ample facilities for taking care of
their customers, and with the confidence of the
business world, based on the solid foundation of
confidence and experience, the banks of Omaha
are a strong bulwark for the city's prosperity.
The Police Court Grist
The current issue of "Municipal Statistics"
gives in detail the report of the Omaha police
department for the year 1914, which furnishes a
lot of food for thought. The figures show that
12,721 persons were ground through the police
court machine in twelve months, of whom 10.-
714 wer men and 2,007 were wpmen. Doubt
less there are repeaters included in this enumer
ation, but allowing for duplication, the arrest
during the course of the year of at least 8 per
cent of th population would indicate that th
police are kept busier than they ought to be
kept. "
Further inspection of the figures show that
of those brought Into the police court 4,699 wer
convicted, 7,39 dismissed, with 18J casea con
tinued. It would be easy to jump at conclusion
and declare either that the polic magistrate is
too lenient or that th police are overzealous,
when in all probability we hav merely a normal
condition reflecting an effort to stop lawless
ness snd vlclousness rather than to punish for
accidental slips.
What we are citing these figures for, how
ever, It to call attention to the wide field for
preventive measures, which are always th most
effective curative reforms, and also to glv sora
conception of the magnitude of the' job that de
volves upon the police fore of a big city filled
with a mixed population and serving as an
artery of transit for all sorts of floaters.
The Work of One Fastor.
Palm Sunday was observed in Omaha much
as usual, by the confirmation of large numbers
of persons in their religious professions, and
their formal union with the church of their
doptlon. In this connection It was developed
that one pastor, whose confirmation class num
bered 239, haa brought into his church 1,183
men, women and children during the four years
of his pastorate. This amounts to one a day
for the working days of his term. Ia accom
plishing this result, moreover, he has not re
sorted to braas band methods of campaigning,
nor to vaudeville stunts tn the pulpit; it has
been done by plain preaching of the simple mes
sage of th gospel, and by unobtrusive work on
part of the pastor. Omaha Is in little danger of
going to th devil while such a man can achlevo
such results arnons its people, and the cause of
real religion is greatly advanced by such ex
ample.
The reported peace offering to Bulgaria con
templates the restoration of the territory the
Bulgara won in the Balkan war,' and lost by th
attack on Greece and Serbia. The Enos-Media
line -now suggested as Bulgaria' southern
boundary, will reduce the Ottoman empire In
Europe to a thirty-mile stretch of land surround
ing Constantinople and the adjacent Galllpoll
peninsula flanking th Dardanelles. One thing
is fairly certain at this stage of the war game
Turkey is booked to lose some feathers.
Local socialists demand a publicly owned and
operated Jitney bus lin to compel with the
street railway. Now you're talking! For this
municipal ownership enterprise experiment no
18,000,000 bond issue and no $5,000 general
manager would be necessary.
Japan is not to b likened to the bull in a

War and the Fish Supply
"" m "rational Oeograpble BCageslae.
WITH Its war sonea snd counter war sonea. Its
mlnd areas. Ha hostile fleets and its heavily
defended shores, the North pea. In a few
month, haa bem tranafortned from one of the rlcheet
food-producing- areas In Christendom Into a region
upon whoee mastery may depend the starvation of
one or the other of two of the mlghtleat nations of
the earth. In tlrnea of peace no other like area In sll
the seas ever has given to humanity such rich sup
plies of food as this narrow strait separating- Albion
from the continent of Europe. More than any other
known region of the oceans, the food flehea of the
marine world aern to love to congregate there, and
to fe that tt la home to them tn aplte of an age-long
attack upon them by the greatest of etl creatures of
prey man. t
tep by atep every new Idea of art and science
haa been brought to the aid of the fisher folk of the
North sea, and by the same atep-by-atep process, the
annual drain on Ita resources haa climbed higher and
higher, until finally, during the year previous to the
present war, it amounted to a million and a quarter
tone of flah. Counting two tona to the truck load,
and allowing thirty feet to the truck, this would make
a procession of fish trucks reaching across the United
Ratea from New York to Baa Francisco, via New
Orleans. Yet almoet as rapidly as tho demands of Oo
world have risen, the supply has Increased, and. ex
cept for a too heavy concentration of fishing forces
on aome Individual bank now and then, there Is no
evidence of any serioua depletion of tho stock.
The lesion of the present war to the Inhabitants
of Neptune's world is that It la an Ul wind that blows
nobody good. But yeaterday thousands of steam
trawlers pursued their way up and down the fishing
grounds of the North see, gathering In with their
vast nets untold mlUlons of flah. Other thousand of
drifters dropped dowa over the fishing banks and
view with the trawlers in th magnitude of their
catch. Other thousands, and even tena of thousands,
of boats, equipped with a myriad of baited hooks,
aided in collecting the tremendous tax levied by the
human appetite upon the sea.
Today a hundred thousand Englishmen who
manned the steam trawl, the drifter, and th sailing
boat; tens of thousands of Germane who vied with
them In their work: Belgians, the French, the "Dutch,
the Danes, snd the Scandinavians, who also helped
exploit the North sea fisheriesall of these are largely
out of jobs. Fishing boats now sweep the sea for
mines Instead of seining It for fish.
Wa In America, where fish forms such a minor
part of our daily diet, and where so many fish that
we eat are grown in our rivers and bays, under a
great Amerlcan-Orisinated system of flah culture, find
it hard to realise how serious in their proportions
and how far-reaching In their consequences are the
results of the practical closing down of the fisheries of
the North sea.
Europe has depended very much on these fisheries
for fish supplies. More than half of all the fish
produced on all the fishing grounds operated by
Europeans are caught within the limited territory
that constitutes the North sea fishing grounds. How
much they are depended upon Is shown by the fact
that Oreat Britain annually absorbs WO, 000 tons of
North sea fish; that means twenty-two pounds per
capita. And while thta is small In proportion to its
per capita meat consumption of 119 pounds, yet it is
thst margin which represents the difference between
a bounteous plenty and positive hunger unless other
foods can be secured to take Its place. The same
condition applies to Germany, .
The vast proportion of, the fish consumed In
Europe is salt fish.. The fresh flah go to the tables
Of the rich, while the herring and other salted varie
ties are consumed, principally by te masses. Tho re
sult is that when the pinch In the fish supply began
to come It visited the homes of tho well-to-do first.
AU of the countries at war probably have enough salt
fish In their warehouses to tide over a considerable
period, but if the war keeps up this reserve must dis
appear. Not only do the nationa at war feel the pinch
of the fish shortage caused by the war, but neutral
nationa as well. Holland feels It sorely from a pro
duction standpoint, aa do alao Bweden, Norway and
Denmark. On the other hand, it hits SwUserland
more from a consumption atandpolnt That country
normally buys nearly a million dollars' worth of fish
from the countries that border th North sea.
Many regions around the North sea live almoat.en-
tlrely by their fishing Industry. The Orkneys and the
fhetlund Inlands have almost no other activities.
Lerwick, the principal town of the islands. In winter
has a population of 4,000. tn summer this grows to
19,000 and everybody Is busy with the fisheries. Where
the llttl Scotch town of Buckie possessed three steam
fishing boats In 1910, It possessed ISO In 1914. The
port of Fraserburg annually handlca 100,000 tona of
fish, and Aberdeen has Increased its fishing business
sixty fold In - fourteen yesrs.
In Great Britain the fiahlng industry ia centralised
in a few large ports; In France It ia Mattered among
a great many small ports. Grimsby is the fishing
capital of the' world, with an annual output of per
haps K),000 tons of fish. The territory which conatl
tutes the North sea fishing grounds Is strikingly 11m
Ited tn area compared to Its Importance. Its total arcs
Is leas than 130.000 square miles, only a little larger
than the state of New Mexico. The Dogger bank is
the center of It all the Charing Crtaia of the sea, so
to apeak. It has baea estimated that there are some
19,000 speclea of fish in the world, and some of th
food flehes found in the North sea are among the
moat prolific of them all.

Th Appalling; Waist of Time.
TILDE.V, Neb., March 29. To the
Editor of Th Bee: When the door is
opened and the way to the school Is
pointed out to the child, the heart of tho
fond parent sinks into a state of dls-
palr to think of the labarynth of
orthographical complexities that this
mind must traverse in order to arrive
at a few facts. With so many unneces
sary rounds, must the pupil attempt to
ascend the ladder of fame. With the
twenty-six letters which are marked with
tho eight unwritten diacritical marks, of
which the macron has eight uses; the
breve, two; dleresis, five, seml-dleresls,
six; cedilla, two; tilde, three; caret, four;
suspendid bar., two; totalling twenty-
two; plus fifty-three Instances where
one letter is substituted for another, and
beyond all this the letter "a" has a
score of ways by which from two to
five letters represent Ua sound, thus:

p(ay) camptaigln . w(eighe)d, etc.
And the same endless mase of irregu
lar! ttea may be) found In other letters.
Hot only 1 the time lost in attempting
to learn this arbitrary system, but the
mind is dulled for other lines of pro
gress. In fact. Ideas must be associated
with ivrelated combinations of lctttera
that form wards, ratber than writing
the word as pronounced; and for that
reason the philologist Is still learning
hla alphabet, which should have been
spontaneous.
'None but the brave dare step aside
from custom's Iron rule, the common
mind must follow It or be esteemed a
fool." The English language should be
freed, from shackles which are atlll hang
ing as chains to the ghost of departed
days. One hundred and fifty millons speak
ur Janguaire, and a greater day of ef
ficiency will dawn when we are set free
from these bonds. ..
It would, however, be egotistical to ex
pect English to become the universal
'tongue, for If number would count, the
400,000,000 Chines would have a vote, and
French, German, etc., would have a
vole, and others would combine to pre
vent any national -language from being
adopted. The International language must
be neutral; the property of no nation, and
thus be aa auxiliary language to the
world, without discounting any idiom
th cosmopolitan need demand this
eaeenc of th romanCe-Teutonlo roots so
systemattsed. which is proving Its effi
ciency by some twenty years applica
tion. But nevertheless, the orthography
of th 9ug11sh langnag must be simpli
fied, thus saving valuable time and brain
power.
