The Sow Britiia Cabinet The gloom In Great Britain baa not been en- tirely dispelled by the formation of a coalition cabinet, noteworthy chiefly aa an effort to bring together all the political factlona of the United Kingdom, to the end tbat the govern men t'a con duct of the war be not disturbed by partisan bickering.. Announcement of the personnel of the cabinet, and the approval by King George, doea not arouse any great wave of enthusiasm, and It li very apparent England can now he enlivened only by the success of Brltlah arm. The chief figure In the new government Is Arthur J. Balfour, some time prime minister bf England, and leader of the tory party. Mr. Balfour may alter In detail, but not in effect. the naval policy initiated by hit predecessor, Wins ton Churchill, who baa stepped to a lower posi tion. Although he has and does profess the greatest of friendship for the United States, Balfour has also publicly defended the order in council against which this government has ao vigorously protested. He will not bring any new feature to the progress of the ar, nor any determining factor to the diplomatic controversy between the United States and Great Britain. Lloyd George la well rid of the exchequer portfolio, and his new work will give him the fullest opportunity for the exercise of his genius for organisation and combining business with politics. To Reginald McKenna will fall the more difficult task of gleaning the field' so care fully covered by Lloyd George in the raising of revenue for the carrying on of the war. Winston Churchill, it Is suggested, la to be gfven an opportunity of further service In connection with the business management of the navy. The new cabinet will very likely continue through the war. for It Is not likely an election will be held until fighting is over, but it does not begin Its term under especially happy skies. It Is a wise nation that knows Its trestle are live ones. Get a grip on the rope that will pull Oreater Omaha across. Greater Omaha consolidation election next Tuesday. Keep repeating it to yourself. It Is evident from the reports that war bul letins do not monopolize all the gas at the firing line. These downpours are fine, Mr. Weather Man, but it Is possible to have too much of a good thing. Sneaking of Memorial day. it is not the par ticular date, but the observance and beautiful thought that goes with it. There's hope tbat the other knockers who tried so hard to block the Greater Omaha move ment may yet be converted. British, critics of General Kitchener evidently conceive it to be their duty to do the knocking while others do the fighting. Another advantage John Bull has over Uncle Sam is that he has about twice aa many cabinet portfolios to deal out. . Despite lawa to the contrary Iowa and Ne I risk a roust continue wet territory if they would prosper. Nature so orders. Orders for 111.000,000 worth of railroad eauipment placed within ten daya clearly mark the current of progress la this country. Very well. Emperor William, take alt (he time you need to write your answer to tbat note. provided only the answer meets tke issue. Still, if Italy wants the sympathy of the world It ought to he able to give Its reasons in lees space ao busy people might read them. One brilliant Omaha clergyman explains the hatchet murder by declaring that the people have forsaken God. If so, then the churches must be frightful failures.

The "eternal fitness of .things' would ap proach human perfection if General Kitchener could Induce the curbstone strategists of London to execute their plans in the gas belt of Flandera. Not the least of the sore spota exhibited abroad spring from the pa!n of seetng the stream of foreign gold pouring Into the United States, with little hope of an early return. That con ttltutee the yellow peril of Europe. It seems tbat Douglaa county Is practically the only county in the state where the mothers' pension law is actually operative, which, makes the temptation all the more for outside places to unload prospective dependents upon us. Measures for self-protection against such prac tices are Imperative. How Distressing! How the ' get-together movement among republicans distresses the opposition Is disclosed by the walling of our amiable democratic con temporary whose solicitude Is really pathetic. It goes without saying that there can be no get ting together' unless republicans of all factions and shades unite regardless of past differences for. a forward march against the political enemy. But this very union Is what the democrats see spelling defeat for them. It Is their political strategy, if possible, to keep the progressives and the regulars apart by fanning fears and playing upon ambitions. The disintegration of the progressive party as a separate party organ ization, has made it plain that the reunion must come behind the republican standard, and that la what the democrats are really afraid of. If It were the other way, and it were the regulars who were to be brought back on the reserva tion, they would be the ones to have the tender consideration of the democrats.. The' probabili ties are, however, tbat our democratic friends will have all they can do for the next campaign to keep the discordant wings of their own party working in unison, with little time left to dis pense blandishments to any brand of repub licans. m a ximi fc.a4 Bids for trading lota and e. block lit, the pro posed site (or tlie new city ball, were opened by the mw city council with propone 1 a from Jamee K.

" The Presbyterian General Assembly has taken another round at the Union Theological Seminary, thta time the ultra-conservatives win ning, to the extent of having a resolution adopted calling for an Inquiry into the status of the school. As Union, ceaaed to be a Presby terian Institution some years ago, the -purpose of the resolution doea not appear on (ta surface. Back of it la the fact that graduates of Union are still being ordained as ministers in the Pres byterian church, i and in thta way is . being steadily Introduced an element of heresy, fron the standpoint of the doctrinaires of the church. Union, like many of the great achools of the country, long ago outgrew strictly sectarian lines, and, while it still teaches those things 'which are' essential to a solid foundation ot faith, either as Presbyterian or other sect, along with Its established elements of sound theology. some more modern Ideas have thrived, and pro fessors at Union have been known te Question the Inerrancy of the Bible, to engage in tha ' higher criticism" and to take Issue with some of the cardinal - principles of the Westminster confession. Thus Union may have aimed at, if It did not actually shake, the foundations of the faith of the Presbyterian church. That is why the rigid adherents to Calvinism find cause for exultation In any step that will lead to further widening the gap between Union Theological Seminary and the church Itself. The progress of this controversy baa long been watched with mere than passing interest, because It sbowa the attitude of the church towards the advance In thought. The action at Rochester will be good news to those who have sought to keep their faith pure and their dogrru undented, but It will not encourage those who hav looked for rapid development of modern ism In the Presbyterian church. When the Farmer Buys. One of the featnrea of life in Omaha just at present is the unwonted activity among the farm Implement Jobbers. Never in the history of the trade has the bualness been greater than now. the call from the farma tor machinery being such as keeps the makers busy to their capacity, This Is an unerring sign of the prosperity that baa been claimed for the west during all tha montha when depression haa been felt In other sections of the country. The farmers In the territory tributary to Omaha In way ot trade are not only possessed of the most fertile soil the aun rises on, with the roost Ideal of natural conditions for the growing of crops, but they are truly progressive In all ways. Their pur chases are made with Intelligence and foresight. ana wnen tney are in tne market for more machinery it la the most positive Indication con celvable of a bountiful crop. When the farmer buya, the outlook is good for all. Assurances of respect for 8wlss neutrality are repeated. 'Til well. A certain monarch on witnessing the target practice of the Bwlae army complimented the soldiers on their marks manship. "How many soldiers are thma trained," he asked an officer. "Two hundred thousand, your majesty." "If I should send an army of 400,000. against them, what would hap pent" "Each soldier, your majesty, would shoot twice." Accuracy .of aim and mountain defiles axe uncommon preservers of neutrality The Alpine Battle Ground Ifew Terh Teniae Worn. 1 1 THE character of the frontier which Austria pres ents to Italy severely limit the field of military operation. K. Indeed, It does eot Insure from the outset a deadlock cept along the valley of the laonio. The ordinary lines of communication between Italy and Austria are throuirh Alpine passes, which admit of defense by handful of troop against ar- le. Tunnel and bridge once dynmlted wouia check an Invasion for montha. The railroad route from Verona to Trent, thence north through the Tyrol by the Brenner to Innsbruck, I the only practtcatxo one for an Invading army in either direction. Along this Una the Austrian have many defense. Cement platform at commanding position ar even now b-lng utilised In mounting heavy gun. In addition. masked batteries are being put In plaoe to oppose every foot of an advance up steep defiles. Squad of Rus sian prisoner and OeJiolan refugees are reported to be at work already digging trenches In the Trentlno district, where the Julian offenalve la expected. Thta Trentlno approach la also that along which Italy fears a sudden attack by a German force upon one of her rich cltlee of the north. For none of the other familiar ways Into Italy are open. Tha road from Turin to Paris by the BL Oenla tunnel lead directly Into French territory. Tha fihnplon tunnel route from Milan through the Alpa crosses FwlUer- land. as doe the St Oothard rout from Milan to Lucerne, and the preperetlone mad by the de termined Bwte to maintain their neutrality ef fectually bar that way. The Tlolno, the valley through which the last route passe and which waa so often the highway of opposing armies In the Italian wars, Is not likely to have a place In the record of tha Impending struggle. To block tha Trentlno route Italy would be able to mas what troop It haa mobilised with little delay, and It would be certain to occupy aa narrow moun tain passes as ita first move. For, once the Italian (rontler la reached by an Invader, the defense are of the weakest True, there are fortlfk-eUone at Ca- al. aa Important railroad junctlo, at Ptacensa, also a railway center, and tha largest artillery depot In Italy; at Venice and at Alessandria. There are de fenses of a sort at Verona and Mantua-"M- Feschlera and Ixgnago, formed the old Austrian quadrilateral used to uch good purpose i -4 In IMS and the basin of the Po la studded with fortl- fled place. But as the commission of IMS repOTteU, these defenses era very far from being modern or adequate. On the eastern frontier. Austria might force the fighting, were it of a mind to anticipate Italy' first move. For the two or three railroad arteries leading from the heart of Austria and Hungary emerge from mountain defiles upon the low coast land well within the boundaries of the dual monarchy. These plains offer a suitable theater.ln which to assemble an army quickly, and Italy has no defense on the artificial boundary line running down to the sea front tha Julian Alpa. This very point might well be selected by Italy for a forward movement. Railroads of north ern Italy are numeroua enough for a rapid concen tration of troops there by roads crossing the frontier from Udine and B. Giorgio Into tha district about Trieste. Thla movement could he expedited by use of the very fair high road leading from Clvldale and Palmanova down to the Istrian peninsula. With tha co-operation of an Italian fleet this form of attack by Italy, especially were It prompt enough to cut off the defenders' communications In the rear, might welt put the whole Istrian promontory into the handa of the Invaders. Pole, however, la strongly fortified agalnat land- attack. rt .hAiiM mi tis mlald h tha aalatencw of sev eral railway line from this quarter leading to Vienna and Budapest Into believing tnat an Italian army could seriously threaten those cities, quite unfortified as they are. It Is true that the distance from Venice to Raliburg rla yillaeh la only too mllea. or twelve houre ky expre, and that Vienna iteelf Is but 400 mile away, or a matter of fifteen hour. The Tauern railway, opened in iw. rons trams Between ernn Trieste in twenty-two hours, and the .Karawanken railway opened In 190 between Vienna and Trieste. In eleven hours. The Hungarian railway covers the dis tance from Flume to Budapest via, Agram in about thirteen hours. But, notwithstanding; these communi cations, so completely de tho mountain ahut off the Austrian -end Hungarian Interiors that lavadera could be easily wlinstooa. ' , Of the character of these approaches Ujney be noted that on the Karawanken line 4T tunnel and TJJ a hm r nml stae. are anoonntered be tween Trieste and Klagenf urt. Only about fifty miles out of Trieste, the railway enure me gorge oi me Isonao. after orosslng that river on a stone onage i feet long, lis feet high, with a central arch 2 feet In width. This gorge extend for mile, neeeaaiuttng two tennela and two viaducts In IU course. The road finally leaves it by a steep aeoent of the right bank through a series of tunnel.

With tha first and seeoad thta of reserve the armed strength ef the nation totalled roughly about 1.000. 000 men, But for many montha K has been apparent that If luly enters a contest In which It standa to gain er loae greatly, It must be prepared to place more than 1 ,010,000 men under arms. Ger many, with a population ef something less than 70,000.000, has placed ,000.000 men in the field. France, with a population ot leaa than 40,000.0(0, has about 1 600.000 In tha first line and reserve. Oreat Britain, with a population of 4. 000, 000, 1 contributing more than I.M9.000 men, a ratio that le sufficiently high In view of the part played by the English fleet. Italy, therefore, with a population of about 17.000,000, must be prepared to call up at least twice as many men a Ita estimated strength of a year ago, or between Z.0O0.O00 and ISOO.toa It haa also had time to recog nise the qualities of endurance demanded by present warfare, the Importance of morale.

She haa not "been up and around" at any time during thla pnrlod, ami th doctors said to move her would hasten her end. The breast where the cancer la located -waa Jammed brutally against the door when her humane e vic tors carried her out on a stretcher, and she haa suffered unspeakable tortures ever since from that frightful bruising.

May K-To the Editor of Tha Bee: I read with considerable pleasure. the announcement of the "Festival of Old Song" to be given by the choir of the Walnut Mill Methodist Episcopal church. The very names of some of the old songs to be sung there stir the heart and bring back memories of other daya. The war songs, perhaps mors than any other, stir recollections of bygone days, for these songs seem to have been a part of our boyhood life. Those of us who. as youngsters at that period, were far too young to take our part In the national atniggle.. could- at least stir -patriotism In the singing of those old songs,' and ot all tha memories of the war, those songs are perhaps the moat distinct. The song "Dixie Land," while ostentatiously a southern song, was, nevertheless of northern 'origin, having been composed' by one Emmet for use In his vaudeville sketch, of that period. And perhaps no mora . stirring war song has ever been written ' . than "Marching Through Georgia." and I well remember with what vim and vigor It was sung by those, who were obliged to sUy at borne, as well as the federal troop. And wkat a flood ef memories Is. brought forth by those old love songs: what tender thoughu of our early Ufa they produce.' To how great an extent do w owe to them our fortunes, or mis fortunes, nons can aver tell. It ta often remarked that the clean sentiment and beautiful melodies ot those old eonge la never reproduced In the modern love ofig, and only a comparison ot these songs, as they will be sung Thursday night, can show how true this 1st Ths plaaUtlon songs, too, mellow ss they are, and filled with the tender pathos of the slave's weary life, Ull their great story to the world. These song, aa we look back upon them from our viewpoint, Ull mora than the word themselves express. While the word and melodies show clearly tha thoughu and aspirations ef the negro slave, they teach still more the optimism of a soul in despair.' Think of these poor human, driven te their labor like animals, toll ing through tha boiling aun from dawn to dusk, and then, gathering In the even ing, letting forth their pent-up emotion In song. What a lesson for the pessimist and knocker of today. Such an entertainment will surely make Thursday evening long to be remember, and, aa I understand the public la In vited, admission free, except for a free will offering to defray expenses, the church at Forty-first, and Charles street should be crowded to Its capacity. J. F. P., OLD SETTLER. A Stra e-Haearer's Saareestless. OMAHA. May M.-T0 the Editor of The Bee: Owing to weather condition it wa my misfortune this morning to "take the Street car" to work; ordinarily I walk and avoid the horror of that vehicle of transportation. Eventually I happened to find a strap vacant and It I strange how freely one's mind works when be hangs onto a strap. In due course of ru mination there came te mind a statement by Manager Leussler in th current press complaining of the unfairness to hi com pany and to the public, of the corpora tion menace the working-man's taxi. Let in relaU what haa probably been the experience of soma other who will affirm my statements; Walking from home to Twenty-fourth street and no car behind at hand. I walked up "to meet" the car at Blnney street to avoid stand ing on th atreet corner. Boarding the ear there two and one-half mllea from tha poetofflce and over three mllea from my place of work, I could not get Inside the street car, but had to stand on th platform. Expecting a little better treat ment on the Dodge line I transferred east on Lake' street, but waa confronted with almost tee same situation end other passenger were continually being plied en as we approached twoa. Furthermore, when I left home It wa hardly T 3B a. in.: when I reached Tenth and Fernani tt waa I -OS a. m.. practically half aa hour consumed. My regular walk ing schedule from home to the same point le thirty t. thirty-three mtnuua. Vow I have never yet patronised a Jitxtey, and em net boosting for them, but 1 am told by some of my nelgbhora that they get down town la from sight te twelv minutes besides which features they emphasise the comfort of riding snd the pen air. Mr. Leussler argues that the Jitnev take all the short haul, but when hi street oars are filled to the steps when still two or three miles from town, U It not time that the Jitneys step In and help him out In "serving the public." It seem to me that If Manager Leussler and hi superiors would consider some of these salient features from the stsnd polnt of those who must needs ride on his company' rare, those who cannot afford even a Ford, he might reconsider his argument of unfairness to his poor corporation. It 1 service that is needed, snd I do not think the public would go bsck on him If he and his superiors would meet them half way. The Jitney Is not a hobby "Necessity ta the mother of Invention." Tentatively, If It Is not feasible to put on more car over th whole line and to adopt a faster schedule, might he not try out some other way by which to meet that necessity, to accommodate the "short hsul" traffic. From the situa tion ss I casually observed It this morn ing, one would think, offhaml. that the service could be Improved by some sys tem of "express" facilities. For In stance, a few of the overloaded cars coming from north and west might travel local" to Twenty-fourth and Lake streets, and thence go Into town 'ex press," without stopping to pick up pas sengers. That point could be made the northern and western "terminal" for other cars to run 'local" Into town These latter 'cars would nicely take care of the "hort haul" business. Similarly on other line. Express service 1 not an unusual thing In larger eastern cities snd It seems that the street railway com pany has large and continually growing suburban feeders entitled to better serv ice. A, Vv.
