The Fall of Warsaw.
By the capture of Warsaw the German allies
have achieved another contplcuoua gain In their
operations against Russia. The full importance
of the victory cannot at thla time he calculated,
for it has many possible hearings, and experts
differ as to Its exact relation to the entire cam
paign. It will serve, however, to show the In
tensity with which the Germans have poshed
their campaign on the eastern front of the war,
vhlle holding the French, English and Belgian
r.rmies stationary on the west front. In this
way it will have a moral effect that will greatly
overtop Its immediate military importance.
Whether Orand Duke Nicholas has been able
to extricate his army from the enveloping move
ment Initiated some weeks ago by the Germans
le yet to be developed. For the present, one
side will undertake, to minimise and the other
to magnify the achievement, but it will not do
to think that either is fooling Itself as to ex-
ctly what has taken place. For Americans the
chiefest Interest will rest on the fact that now,
as a year ago, the armies of the kaiser are show
ing the greatest initiative, and are pressing their
campaigns with the utmost vigor.

' Meeting; the Mexican Situation.
While the outcome of the conference at
Washington between the representatives of the
American powers is as yet "on the knees of the
gods," the step seems to be one that will lead
to the ultimate solution of the Mexican situa
tion. President Wilson's program, as tenta
tively outlined, will place the lion's share of the
csponslblllty on the United States, but it Is not
unlikely that the South American conferees may
offer something that will look to a division ot
the coming task of providing Mexico with a re
sponsible government. In a broad sense, these
ether governments are quite aa much concerned
in the matter as is the United States. Ali-Amerl-
can relations are becoming more and more con
crete,, and the future, as it may be presently
forecasted, Indicates the desirability ot the
closest understanding between the several gov
ernments of the two countries. It Is, therefore.
expedient, to say the least, that all share alike
in the adjustment of the Internal difficulties ot
any, when the conditions make such Interven
tion absolutely essential and necessary.
That the several Mexican contestants should
bo given a full opportunity to present their
claims seems Just and proper, for a determina
tion of the issue can hardly be had without al
lowing the sides to be heard. This will mean
that several days will elapse before anything
definite can come from the conference.

The Sinking' of the Frye.
An apparent deadlock has been reached In
the negotiations with Germany, arising from the
sinking of the American steamer. William P.
Frye, by the sea-rover Karlsruhe in the South Pa
cific last winter. The German imperial govern
ment takes the position that a belligerent has a
right to destroy the carrier of contraband if that
action be deemed expedient, when encountered
on the high sea. In the case ot the Frye, the
captain of the Karlsruhe held it would take too
long to Jettison the cargo ot wheat, and so sank
the vessel. The United 8tates contends the bel
ligerent has only the right to seise such portion
of the cargo as may be contraband, and that the
sinking of the Frye was an illegal act The Ger
mans offer damages in reparation, but decline
to disavow the sinking. Our government is will
ing to sccept the damages offered, but will not
permit that act to be construed as a waiver of
rights under the Prussian treaty ot 1791.
Much water has run under the bridge since
that treaty was signed, but the great principle
therein contained is not subject to chanse. Both
Great Britain and Germany set un the al tared
circumstances of war In Justification of acta that
violate the recognised law of nations. This spe
cial pleading can not be permitted to nrevail
since no circumstances can aive to one or the
other of the nations, whether belligerent or nan
tral, authority to write Its own rules to govern
trafflo on the high seas. If the contentions now
advanced to meet the protests of the United
States wers permitted to stand. It would mean
continual and general struggle for the control
of the seas.
In this matter, Great Britain and German
are on precisely the same footing with the United
Slates. Whether the controversy goes to The
Hague or not. It will eventually determine a
question that has been up to vex maritime na
tions in every war.
The Vew Jitney Ordinance.
The new Jitney ordlnanre aitnntjui t,. k-
city council will not meet with the objections
encountered by ths old ordinance because it elim
inates the drastic exactions which threatened
to put the Jitney completely out of business. The
license fee under the new ordinance is merely
nominal, and the bond to secure responsibility
to passengers Is certainly not excessive.
The Bee objected to the exorbitant license
fee In the old ordinance, and it waa thla that
Justified the resort to the referendum unnn it.
If our advice had been followed, the new ordi
nance would go still further than It does In the
direction of safety for patrons, through physical
examination of the auto and tests ot Its machin
ery, but the main thing is accomplished by the
license to Identify owners, and to insist unon
competent drivers, who will give the publlo de
pendable service. The new ordinance. Instead of
driving the Jitney out of business, should make
JUney driving a legitimate business, and what
ever defects or omissions are developed by ex
perience may be easily corrected by amendment.
Else of Bethlehem Steel.
Six months ago Bethlehem Steel waa a neg
lected stock, selling well below par, while today
it Is priced at over too, and is going up as stead
ily as any balloon that ever cast off Its mooring
and floated above the earth. This Is due en
tirely to the Influence ot reports ot war orders
to be filled from that great factory with the
peaceful same. Along with Bethlehem, other
steel stocks are soaring, and the market is in a
feverish turmoil of speculation. It is practically
impossible to tell Just how much of thla price
boost Is due to legitimate trade and what part
of it is the result ot speculative inflation, but
the wary Investor Is looking askance at the
tempting bait held out by the professionals of
"the street." The rise In Bethlehem Steel is
sensational enough to recall the days ot the
Com stock excitement, and is not likely to be of
any greater service to legitimate Industry.
The Chemists in the War

flow Germany la Beeomla Self-Swetalnlaar.
GERM A NT, deprived as It baa been of many Im
ports by the sea-power of England, has been
transformed In to a slf-supportln country b
the chemist. This achievement necessitated a read
Juatment along- the whole line. Materials had to be
manufactured which had hitherto been Imported, and
aubstltutea had to be Improvised for raw materials cut
off by the Kngtlsh blockade.
In no other field baa German efficiency proven Its
superiority more than In that of chemlntry. While
thla waa undisputed before the preeent war. It la no
exaggeration to state today that the German chemist
has so far contributed aa much. If not more, to the
successes of the campaign than the strategists of the
army and the navy, and that therefore the present
holocaust may be Justly called "the chemists' war."
Moblllsla ike Katlon'a Food Reaoorrea.
When the English blockade threatened to starve
the women and children of the empire, a careful In
ventory of the natural reeources waa taken. It waa
ascertained that certain plants which had been re
Karded aa useless weeds possessed considerable food
value. Fourteen wild-growing vegetables were found
which furnished substitutes for spinach, while five
plants supplied excellent materials for salads. But
of still greater significance Is the fact that nature
offered nine varieties of roots rich In starch and af
fording wholesome aliment for man and beast.
The United States has exported. In times past, large
quantities of oil and fats to Germany especially ani
mal fat from our slaughter-house Industries and cot
tonseed oil. By a treatment with hydrogen the Ger
man chemist transforms cheap grades of oils and fat'V
wastes of all kinds, and, most Important of all, the
fish oils of the Swedish and Norwegian fisheries. Into
edible fats.
As curiosities in the search for foodstuffs, we might
further mention the attempt of the chemist to utilise
the fresh blood of slaughtered animals, which contains
highly nutritious substances. Long before the war,
bread made with the addition of fresh blood to the
dough waa eaten In some parts of Europe, especially- In
Finland. This tastes like black rye bread, is very
nutritious, and very economical. It Is Interesting to
note here that during certain rellgloua festivals a con
fection consisting of chocolate and fresh blood Is sold
In Naples and aaten by the women.
Plbrea Takta tba Place of Cotton.
The agricultural chemist has also undertaken the
task of supplying Germany with a substitute for cot
tonwhich can no longer be procured from ua. Al
though It la realised that there are enormous diffi
culties In the way, a great deal has already been ac
complished. Paper spun Into threads In special ma
chines serves as a substitute for cotton and jute In the
manufacture of bags, etc., which need not stand heavy
wear and tear. For the manufacture of guncotton.
cellulose Is employed which Is produced from wood pulp
by tha various refining processes now In use. It Is
possible to make In thla way a cellulose that for many
purposes la superior to cotton fiber.
Even In war-time people must think of such frivo
lous things as clothes, and the German chemists art
hard put to It to Improvise substitutes for the ordinary
cotton fabrics. And they have made marked progress
In this respect. The nettle fiber, which was largely
used In Europe as a textile material prior to the Intro
duction of cotton, has again attracted much attention.
Most Interesting reports are being published and pat
ents are being taken out for tha utilisation of the best
fiber of willow bark. Willow boughs are valued aa
material for weaving basket a
History may repeat Itself, and willow bark and
nettle or some other substitute raised on German soil
may In the near future threaten the supremacy ot
King Cotton. The German chemist has a duty to per
form, and with his perseverance and application he
doea not shrink from any problem, however difficult
It might appear to outsiders.
Silk, Camphor and Ratter.
The rearing ot silkworms and the production of
silk are also undertaken with great seal. Mulberry
trees, the leaves of which are fed to the caterpillars,
thrive very well In South Germany and In the Rhine
province. This Industry Is to be developed not so
much to make Germany Independent of the Importa
tion of raw allk as for the reason that thla occupa
tion offers easy and profitable work to war cripples
and Invalids work which can be done In about six
weeks of the year.
The chemist has also succeeded In replacing tno
product of the camphor tree, which before the war
had been obtained from Japan, and Is of so great im
portance In medicine and in the manufacture of smoke
less powders. It Is now made artificially In tha fac
tory, and It has been found that synthetlo .camphor
not only aurpaaaea the natural In medical efficiency,
but that It Is of greater purity, a stronger disinfectant,
and cheap, at least aa long aa war prices prevail.
The German chemist, who has already solved the
problem of manufacturing synthetic rubber, will per
haps also tackle tha problem of making Germany In
dependent of rubber Imports In another direction. Tna
milkweed plant, which belongs to the Ascleplaa fam
ily, furnishes a latex which resembles that of tha
cheaper gradea of rubber. Although the amount of
rubber Is smalt and the quality poor, yet tha chemist
need not despair If he remembers that tha sugar-beet
first used in sugar-making contained only 4 per cent
of a not very superior grade of sugar, while today It
furnishes 21 to 84 per cent of sugar of such high qual
ity that . It cannot be distinguished from tha finest
cane sugar.
Replaela Copper with Iron aad time.
Great Ingenuity Is displayed by the metallurgical
chemist In replacing copper by other metals. As a
result, the consumption of copper for war purposes
and for the arts is considerably reduced. With Us
Inexhaustible supply of Iron and steel. Its wealth of
slno, and Us domestlo supply ot copper amounting to
an annual production of 40,ooe tons, Germany la In an
excellent position to manufacture eubetitutee for cop
per. Gun and rifle cartridges and the fuse-heads ot
grenades are maa of soft Iron with a small per.
centage of copper and sine Buttons, button-facings
for helmets, and belt-buckles which were formerly
made of braas, are now made of alloys free from
copper.
Ceraaaay to Feed Her Owm Cattle.
But the moat remarkable reeulta have been
achieved In agricultural chemistry, and nothing has
been ot greater consequence than the method by which
Germany will render Itself perhaps permanently Inde
pendent of Imported fodder, for which It was obliged
to expend annually fcSO.OOO.eea. It haa been known for
some time that la tha process ot fermentation, that la,
the onverelon of sugars Into alcohol by means of cev
taln lower orders ot plants, auch as yeast, albuminous
eubatancea are generated by tha growth of the yeast,
which are of value as a food for human beings and as
fodder. The only trouble waa the small yield of albu
men, which made the process unprofitable. Favorable
results, however, were obtained by carrying out the
fermentation In the preaenoa of sulfate of ammonia
as a source of altrogen, which by tha metabolism of
the yeast Is converted from Its inorganlo Into Its
orgaalo form (albumen). From 100 parts of sugar as
much as 100 parts of water-freo dry yeast were ob
tained. Tet even these Incredible yields and tha fact
that Germany la tha largest producer of sugar la tha
world would have availed nothing If sulfate of ammo
nium, the nutrient ot the yeast, could not be procured
at aa economical coat.
Hltroea Fertiliser f rasa the Air.
'But- chemical Ingenuity also provided domeatie
sources for this material which Is likewise employed
very largely aa a nitrogen fertiliser. It has always
beea recovered as a by-product In tha coking of coal,
an Industry la which Germany leads tha world. But
lately It haa been produced on an extremely lare
seals by direct combination of hydrogen and nitrogen
contained in the air, as carried out exclusively la Ger
many. We have here the moat tntereating and moat
Street transformation of nitrogen from . the air Into
food albumen. Compare It with tha complas and tedi
ous eoavere'on of fodder plants Into caiue. and cattle
Into human food, and think of the newly created possi
bilities! Ceraaaay ladastrtally ladepeadeat.
Thus tha horrora of war, through tha Ingenuity ot
the German chemists, are promoting the legitimate In

OMAHA, Aug. 8. To tha Editor of Tha
Bee: In your Letter Box recently I no
ticed a short letter by Charles P. Lang
concerning the International language,
Esperanto. II r. EJdltor, I am a native of
Yucatan, although since childhood It haa
been my good fortune to be able to call
tho United States my home. But during
my life I hsvo also traveled by various
means In various countries of South
America and Europe and Africa. Whllo
In these countries I have studied tha
lopulace, from pcaeant, peon and slave
up to royal and Imperial masters. Among
all classea I find there exists a desire
for a better and greater knowledge both
of themselves and their neighbors In
other countries, and other tongues.
Portability is tha natural trait of man
kind all over the earth, but this trait Is
seldom seen by the average foreigner.
Why?
Because where two persons of different
tongues come together there exists a lack
of understanding. The case In pis in
words In, you perhaps are German, I am
perhaps English or French. Tou cannot
understand me and I cannot understand
you. The result is embarrassment and
lack of cordiality between us ensues,
also, as I have learned to my sorrow In
several South American experiences, a
clash often Is the ultimate end. Aa con
cern commerce. It hi very plain that
where no cordiality exists business cannot
progress. If only some language, prac
tical and harmonious, could be Invented
to serve the needs of busy and misun
derstanding humanity as an auxiliary
tongue, peoples of widely different and
difficult tongues, I truly think suffering
humanity would lose half of its eoonomlo
burden.
Various attempts have been made to
establish the use of an existing language
as an auxiliary, but these attempts have
all failed, partially because the promoters
of the Idea were not able to convince the
world that any one national language
was better suited to serve this purpose
than the rest But the greater reason
has been the complexity and difficulty of
learlng any one national existing lan
guage. The business man la too busy,
the laborer too poor and too busy.
Latin waa considered by many for an
International ptirpoee on the grounds that
aa a dead language It favored no ono
nation. It Is used by many of the prlsst
hood and scholars, but for the average
man It haa tha old objection of being
difficult to learn, requiring also much
time and some money; also It haa been
found too ancient for modern needs.
I often have heard of Esperanto aa the
language of hope, being easy to acquire,
requiring very little time and the ex
penditure of little money. Shall we now
then turn our attention to thla language
of hope In an effort to solve the problem
of better understanding?

The Latla Basra boo,
TILDBN, Neb., Aug. 4. To the EJdltor
of Tha Bee: The opening of the school
year Is at hand and with It comes the
"Latin bugaboo" affrighting tha high
school student, with his mind already
made up only to just acquire enough
to keep out cf trouble with the school
authorities; while the most common com
plaint among teachers Is, that language
study la attempted before grammatical
constructions are comprehended. Fancy
the hopelessness ot-teaching Latin, or
a modern tongue, to a atudent who doea
not understand the demonstrative, and
relative pronouns and the Instructor
seeks to Illustrate the "qui. quae, quod"
with an English sentenoe as "I say that
that that, that you said, was not that
that, that you said that that that was."
At which many a teacher will be cast into
a contused mass of questionable homo
nyms, herself; whose offices are widely
dissimilar and yet all wear the same
uniform; for here are demonstratives,
relatives, nouns and other constructions
wrapped In tha same garb. The Latla
fabric la a necessity to comprehend Eng
lish, even though Us grammar la com
plex, yet It furnishes a series ot small
problems to be solved by the dictionary,
and contrasts with mathematics), which
deals In other proportions; therefore
language study la a valued source of
development and can only be mastered
by the equivalent language study to
facilitate logical construction, which the
arbitrary forms of many modern tongues
fall to render.
Therefore. If the student would study
a type language that would correspond
la the linguist hierarchy with Euclid, or
the first rules of arithmetic In the mathe
matical realm; being clear, consistent
self evident and of universal applica
tion the bugaboo of ancient as wetl as
modern language study would disappear.
Tha above cited "That" sentence vouM
then be rendered so simple that a grade
pupil would at sight discern the tntro
ductorlea, demonstratives, relatives, nouns
as well as other constructions; which
here appear In the same form, by means
ot thla International language, which
would thus become the clearing house
of tongues and a neutral friend of them
all. CHARLES P. LANG.

Making a Go of It
By James 0Hara Day
F opportunities were valued at $100
Each, nearly every man's louses
would run into the thousands. The
last thing the average man sees is
a real opportunity. And an unseen
opportunity "is lost money.
The Health Officer of my city issued a
statement to the newspapers the other day
describing the most wholesome kinds of food
for hot weather.
Not a groceryman in the town followed
this up with an advertisement telling the
public that he had for sale the highest qual
ities of foodstuffs mentioned in the Health
Officer's report.
All of them faded to realise that the
American citizen looks to his government
officials for reliable advice as to what to do.
.
At the same time, the Health Officer of
another city put out a statement describing
the coolest, most comfortable, and most
healthy dress goods for women's wear in
Summer.
Not a dry goods house took advantage of
this golden opportunity to display before
the public gaze in the public press the fact
that he haa on hand every article recom
mended by the' Health Officer.
In both cities I made inquiries to deter
mine why these chances had been overlooked.
Uniformly, the reply was this: "There is
not much business in the summertime. It
doerat pay to advertise note."
What do you think of that reply t
If it pays to advertise Winter things in
Winter, it pays to advertise Summer things
in Summer. v
There is only one way to do business
that is to make business. And the man who
says it cant be done in Summer is the man
who lays down on his job.
He is the man who is blind to opportuni
ties. He is the man who, if an opportunity
is worth $100, must figure thousands Into
his losses.
The public buys what it needs in Summer.
The only thing necessary is to convince the
public of what it needs and then to tevt
the demand.
The public thinks as much in Summer as
it does in Winter.
