For a monarch who la entering the twenty
first rear of hla reign, Old King Ak-2r-Beu . Is
a pretty lusty infant.
Our School board wisely subscribes to the
time-vindicated adage about nerer borrowing
trouble ahead ot time.
Still, the court presided over by Judge Kene
saw Mountain Landta Is not the one a well In
formed person would choose to bump op against.
Another admiral has been heard from. He
does not expect trouble and be la not looking
for It. But If he had the equipment that makes
for a sure thing, trouble could not escape.
The Berlin professor who discusses a revi
sion of International law "after the' war" would
command more attention It he would Insist on
decent respect for the law "during the war."
As to the delay In the governor's proclama
tion, our guess Is that the machinery la set to
make the Greater Omaha merger effective on or
about July 1, so as to start even with a fiscal
ralf-year.

"Liquid fire" Is the latest form ot ammuni
tion described in the dispatches as being used
with deadly effect in the European war sone.
Can, it be some sort of relation to the "fire
water" that proved so effective In knocking out
the red men in our warfare on the Indian?
Men who have experienced the hardships and
survived the perils of war are least disposed to
applaud it. That is the part of inexperience and
youth. A recent poll of American clergymen on
the question ot increasing armament showed
that the most emphatic answers against mil Har
lem came from ministers who happened to be in
Kurope when the war atarted last summer.
The mualo festival by the Theodore Thomas or

Bryan's Resignation.
Despite period lo reports of impending re
tirement ever since he became a member of the
cabinet. Secretary Bryan's resignation at thin
particular time comes almost as a stroke of
lightning out of a clesr sky. Both his political
friends and his political enemies had predicted
oarly disagreement with the president, but Mr.
Bryan by his self-abnegation and intense
"loyalty" to his chief seemed to be bent on dls
eppolntlng their expectations by showing that
le could serve In a subordinate capacity and
"take orders" like a soldier. That the situation
should now reach the point where he believed
"loyalty" required his own elimination ss a
dlscordsnt factor in the cabinet only strengthens
the conviction that the differences have become
fundamental on vital points.
We do not believe the retirement of Mr.
Bryan will alter the foreign policy of the
administration, for that haa notoriously been
Mr. Wilson's all along, but It may have a weak
ening effect on foreign powers as indicating to
them an instability in our position; If so. It
will b unfortunate.
Politically Mr. Bryan's resumption of the
estate of private citizen is bound to change the
topography of our domestic affairs, more espe
cially In his home state of Nebraska. Liberated
from official shackles, he becomes again a free
man, free to pursue the path of his own best
judgment and to further hla own personal ambl
tiona. No one who knows him for a moment
believes that he could if be would, or would It
he could, be content to serve in the ranks. We
hardly look to a fourth candidacy for the presi
dency at the next turn surely not if he has to
seek th nomination against his former chief
but we would not be at all surprised to see him
throw his hat In the ring for the Nebraska
senatorshlp next spring, and it goes without
ssylng that such a contest would he worth go
ing miles, to witness.
Regardless of plans for the future, we take
it that Mr. Bryan's first step will be to resume
his place ss a distinguished citizen of this state,
and, though continuing to differ with him In
politics, we stand ready to greet his home
coming with a cordisl welcome.
Study of History in High School.
Omaha school authorities are again con
fronted by a question that has arisen from time
to time for many yeara, that of the compulsory
or merely elective study of American history In
the high schools of the city. Some revision in
the course of study may be necessary, but the
requirements should Include a course in Amer
ican history, In civics and economics. The in
struction need not be profound, but should be
sufficiently comprehensive to give the student
an understanding of the fundamentals of our
system of government. Unless our public
schools prepare the children for eltlsenshtp, they
fail in their chief object, and this preparation
cannot be given without some knowledge of
American history.
The accepted resson for neglecting Amer
ican history Is to favor high school students pre
paring for entrance to colleges where this is not
an entrance requirement. 8uch colleges should
levtse their schedules to Include American his
tory, for Its importsnce makes Us omission seem
inexcusable. Though elective suffer, and fads
go by the board, the history ot our country and
He Institutions should be Insisted upon.
Fighting -in the Factories.
A striking featur of the tremendous strug
gle in progress in Europe is that the fortunes
of war turn on the forces employed In the fac
tories of the nations engsged. The men on the
firing line are merely the distributing agents ot
those employed at home making machinery for
the destruction of life and property. ' It used
to be said an army travels on its stomach. Now
it may be said with even more force, a nation
fights in the factories. Carefully drilled, per
fectly organised and appointed to the minute
with accoutrements and panoplied in the most
deceptive of uniforms, the army might well stay
at home unless ready to expend ammunition at a
rate inconceivably extravagant. '
m Here is another point on which the Oerman
genius for detail gives its armies a noticeable
advantage. Th splendid industrial organisa
tion of the German empire aocorda its military
mschlne the support it must have to make its
presence la the field of effect. Russia has suf
fered more than any of the belligerents because
ot its lack of Industrial development. The
fruits of a great victory have at least twice been
literally snstched from the Jaws of the bear be
cause the cxar's army wss short supplied with
shot and shell. Oreat Britain Is appealing to
the patriotism of Its factory workers to save the
cstion by extra exertion In turning out whst Its
army most needs ammunition.
Title to the Ballet '
A case of curloua Interest Is reported to have
recently been decided by a German court A
wounded aoldier brought auit against the sur
aeon who attended htm to recover possession ot
the bullet that had brought him under the doc
tor'a care. Claims on both sides were set out
and the court determined the bullet belonged to
the aoldier.
Who will deny that In thla decision the court
haa not followed the rule of common sense aa
applied to property rights? The title to the
bullet originally reelded in the enemy nation.
This ownsr voluntarily relinquished its rights
when the bullet waa sped upon its flight, and
Interentlally at least tonveyed title in the same
to its recipient. The doctor, of course, may set
up some show of title under the doctrine of
tieasnre trove, but as the owner ot the premises
on which the treasure was located set up imme
diate claim to it, the doctor would seem to be
ectlUed only to receive such reward as he might
rtasoaably claim from the owner of the prem
ises. In the end the enemy nation may bring
ault to recover possession of the bullet, alleging
that It was not intended that title should pass.
In this case aa action for trespass in favor ot
the recipient of the missile might lie. Other
Intricate phases of this question may be fol
lowed by thoee who have tha time.
Greatest Decade
of Invention
oieatlfie aVaaerleaa.
TUB moat elsnlflcnnt event In the annals of human
achievement wa the Invention of the ateam en
Sine Iti Introduction divided recorded time Into
two rVatlnrtly defined era, and It may well be said
that the entire hletory of man's material endeavors
counts forward or backward from that comparatively
recent event. The jump from manual to power opera
tions, which typiflea the two eras, waa nothlns short
of cataclysmic, and profoundly affected and stirred
mankind In all Its relatione to an extent Inconceivably
greater than any political change or decUion In battle
that Ii ordinarily cited by the historian to mark the
bealnnlnc of a new epoch. A soon after thla event
aa dlatraotfd civilisation could be released from the
ttlfllns bondage of Inceaaant warfare, the problem of
applying this mighty agency to the needs of man be
gan In eerntst-wlth an energy, rapacity, and gnniua
never ceaalng and never before equaled. Thus was In
augurated the sge of michincry, of Invention, of Indus
trial! n an t ge vitally different frcm all that p ecedot
It arid during which tl.e beis if society waa i.'.ore com
pletely altered and the economic and political struc
ture more fundamentally revolutionised than In all
the preceding centuries of civilisation put together. Of
the ten decadea which may be roughly atated to cover
thla notable period of development, not one has failed
to contribute Its quota toward the sum of great In
ventive achievements. Each and every decade hue
seen the origin of aome transcendent act for the ad
vancement of material civilisation.
Tha ten years moat fraught with achievement up to
the Invention of tho telephone, was the 184O-1SS0 period,
during which the reaper, vulcanisation of rubber, sew
ing machine, snd telegraph were perfected. These In
vention, by fsr the most notable of the decade, were
all American and marked the culmination of Yankee
Ingenuity, and It Is safe to assert that no other people
In any equal short span of time can point to a record
of accomplishments so marvelous and so revolution
ising. Industrially and socially. The deoade beginning
with 170 was also notable the telephone, the dynamo,
and the arc lamp appeared and gave the first Indica
tion of the coming isrt electricity was to plsy In the
affairs of mankind.
But the ten years beginning with USD saw sn out
burst of Invent've activity that dwarfed all similar
perjnda In the history of Invention. It seemed that the
discoveries In thing electrical in the last three or four
years of the previous decade was the signal for the
pent-up genius of tho world to let loose. The trolley
car, which has changed the face of urban civilisation;
the Incandescent light, with It more powerful and
healthier glow and more adaptable use; the automo
bile, the most distinctive feature of our time; the
typewriter, the most necessitous Instrument In mod
ern bulnes; the skyscraper, the delineator of the
new skyline of American business centers; and the
cash-register, that ubiquitous Instrument snd first aid
to honesty to pick out the moat obvious of the Inno
vations that procUim the age all of theae came Into
being or were flrt whipped Into shape in the ten
pregnant year beginning with 18W).
Before lxSo electricity was sparingly ued Uie first
central station for sro lighting had Just been estab
lished In !7. Ita recognition as a source of energy
for universal lighting, for propulsion, for power, snd
for heatlng-for all the large and vital uses it could
be put to wss a matter of speculation, and not one
of eipectedly near realisation. No one, even of the
wildest Imaginings, could have dreamed of the trans
formation so doss to hand. But be(pre this census
period closed the electrlo Incandescent lamp was In
conteaUbty eatabllehed. the trolley car waa succeta
fully' Introduced, the central station for power dls
trlbutlon and the polyphase motor for stationary
work began to show Its revolutionising possibilities,
and the first electrlo furnace wss put Into successful
commercial operation. All the big problems that were
Involved In putting Into service In such Urge ways of
this new and m'ghty servant were first confronted
and aolved lit this particular decade. In the Wi the
generation, transmission, and utilisation of current
the dynamo, the transformer . and motor were all
made practical propositions on a large and commercial
scale for the first time. The trolley car. which drast
llcally changed the lupect of th'nga urban and sub
urban, brought the country to the city and spilled
the city Into the country. Increased land values by
tho billion: and the Incandescent lamp, wnwn in
augurated clean snd safe illumination. Introduced the
central station power house and Inspired the first
great Innovations In generation and utilisation or
electric current; the transformer, that extremely sim
ple but supreme instrument for making serviceable
the alternating current the most easily generated
and transmit table form of electrical energy; and the
Induction motor, the eventual driver of most of our
machinery all these peaks In electrical progress were
made In the same decade.
rv n.i fundamental of all o De rations are per
formed in the furnace. The profoundest changes of
nature were caused by heat and the basic processes ot
Industry are carried unuer nign wraptnuuni
tlons. Except a new source of energy. It Is difficult
to oonoeive a new utility of more potenoy than a
novel type of furnace, rw the flrat time In all hla
tory. a high furnace heat was sttalned through means
not Involving combustion, when the electrlo furnace
was perfected in the latter part of the decade. With
the advent of this utll'ty. possibilities of heat appli
cation were opened up that shamed even the dreams
of alchemy. There Is no burning, no smos.0 or ioui
gases resultsnla ot combustion. Tne heat Is clean,
controllable, and estremely high, with the result
that It Is revolutionising high temperature operations
In multitudinous directions, and the changes In steel
and alloy making and In electro-chemical processes are
already profound. The steam turbine, which is sup
planting the reciprocating engine: the gasoline engine,
which made possible the mot or boat, automobile and
aeroplane; the automoniie wen; me atergvninaier
typesetter and oaster; the cyanide process, which vies
in importance wllh the Bessemer method of making
steel and the vulcsr.liatlon of rubber; and electrte
welding-all of these truly epoch-making Inventions

Itarrey process for hardening armor plate waa In

the same time; Westtnghouse's quick-acting brake.
which only failed to no consiaereo a pioneer invni.ion
of the flrt order by a five to four vote of the supreme
court, was another notable addition to the deoade:
the transparent film, which foreshadowed the moving
picture; and the pneumatic tire, which helped to pop
utariaa the b'cycle and automobile, were prominent
contributions of these pregnant tan years. The half

TILDEN. Neh., June 8. To the Editor
of The Bee: Environments have much
to do with systematic development: .for
a poet to sit in the nave of a cathedral
would .be more inspiring than In the
midst of a pandemonium of wrecks;
therefore Dame Nature draws tho
stronger, for from the depths of the In
finite variety breathes order, symmetry
and harmony. According to Audlung,
there are In the world 8.0U4 languss.es and
well defined dialects, divided Into the
following classes: Monosyllabic, Semite,
Indo-European, Polynesian. African,
Polyaynthetle; from the highest civ
ilisation of the Caucaslon to the Cafflr
but the aprtnga of af factions are tha
ami, their love for the sun, and the
fear of the earthquske Is Just the same,
and' yet there are thousands of ways to
express the same thought.
language evolves abnormally, nnd cus
tom has approved its grotesquene, for
In one language will have several con
jueratlons), or declensions, several groups
of Irregular verbs and a sea of total ir
regularities, so that even the acquire
ment of the native language In a life's
task, and few have little time to at
tempt a second. Again these groesque
Irregularities obstruct the flow of order,
symmetry and harmony In life's ave
nues, and, as language Is the vehicle of
thought, the more it Is systematized the
more fluent will be the flow of thought.
The thinking philologist will plead for
an anatytlo system that will meet the re
quirements, that each form of the verb
will have a significantly relative form;
that nouns will have a specific ending,
plurals regular, agreement of adjective
with nouns, and an accusative ending;
propositions with speciflo mean ing a. and
a general arrangement that will permit
the order of words to be arranged for
emphasta It ia for thla that th world
Is reaching in the way of an Interna

has yet Its language, but humanity must
hava Its International language. Not
how helpful to find nouns end in o, ad
