Definite Note on Munitions.
The reply of the United Ptate to the Aue-
ttlan note on the question of tale and shipment
of munitions of war more definitely restates the
l-coltlon adhered to from the first by our gov-
ernment. The principle Involved baa boon ex
plained many times, but to give force to Ha ap
plication, the course of Germany and Austria In
the past Is cited In Illustration of commercial
transactions with warring countries and serves
to Justify the present attitude of the United
States.
The deeper point at Issue Is not touched
upon, however, even Infercntlally,. In the note.
This Is that the principle of non-Intercourse
between neutrals and belligerents ran be made
applicable only by International agreement. It
may come as a part of the future peace plan, re
quiring that International disputes be left to an
International court for determination. Any
nation that refuses to so submit Its ease may
then find itself cut off from commerce with the
other nations, and at a decided disadvantage.
Tbls form of International boycott would be the
means of enforcing snbmlsston to the decrees of
the arbitration courts, and In a measure at least
take the place 'of the resort to arms by which
disagreements between nations are now settled.
But for this war It Is out of the question for
any one country to change the accepted rules
governing belligerents and neutrals.
How for a Demonstration.
While It la hardly to be expected that the
president will accept The Bee's Invitation to
prove democratic devotion to the principle of a
nonpartisan Judiciary by appointing a republican
tc the vacancy on the federal bench here, he has
a grand opportunity, which he should not pass,
to give ns a demonstration of the policy of pub
licity, advocated as a democratic principle by a
recent member of his cabinet family. For some
time the demand of Mr. Bryan has been that In
the selection of Judges the people be taken fully
Into the confidence of the appointing power by
making public all the endorsements filed for
every person under consideration, together with
the names of every one in any way urging the
claims of any candidate. The purpose, of
course. Is to expose to open view atl the wicked
Influences at work to put creatures In life tenure
places on the bench, and thus to frustrate every
Insidious effort to control the courts.,
But will the president do It? Will Mr.
Bryan set the example by himself proclaiming
his own preferred choice for the federal Judge
ship? Or is there a difference here, too, be
tween democratic preaching and practice?
Carranxa Holding: Off.
General Carranxa has announced that he
vlll not Interfere with the circulation of the AU-
Amerlcan peace note through that portion of
Mexico where he dominates, but he Is negatively
lukewarm In his personal attitude towards the
plan for pacifying his country and giving it
such government aa may restore It soon to Its
place among nations. Carranxa has been con
sistent In one thing at least. He haa never
evinced any Inclination to eliminate himself
when It came to possible negotiations for the
establishment of order. In this his course leads
to the conclusion that he Is more concerned over
Ma own advancement than fof the welfare of his
country. He haa been too deeply Involved In
the disorder of Mexico to be a really acceptable
leader under the peace movement, and yet he
mould undoubtedly have more Influence In the
conference than in the field. It is not incon
ceivable that Carranxa may yet be brought to
understand that he cannot enforce recognition,
and that he will yet take part In the peace con
ference, but Just now he risks forfeiting hls
prestige.
Discipline at Annapolis.
The report of the court of Inquiry, sitting at
Annapolis, recommending the dismissal of two
midshipmen and the punishment of several oth
ers, Just made and approved by the president,
Indicates a proper determination to maintain
discipline at the naval academy. The scandal
occasioned by the misbehavior of a few of the
midshipmen of the navy should not attach to
the entire corps, which aa a body will compare
with any similar group of young men in the
world. Conditions that gave rise to the inquiry
rutght prevail at any school, and likely would
meet with similar prompt action on discovery.
The course of study at the Annapolis academy
Ir severe, but it has been adopted aa the result
of experience, and is Intended to secure the
highest possible training for officers of the navy,
who are essentially experts In their profession.
But the requirements of the course are not lm-
possible to achieve, as witness the great number
of young men who succeed in passing the exam
inations and entering on the active work of lite
In the navy. In connection with the cultural
and technical training, the discipline of the
academy is Intended to develop the higher moral
attributes of the midshipmen and ltnpresa them
with a sense of the high responsibility they aa-
eume as "officers and gentlemen." It waa
against this more than any other tradition ot
the school the guilty ones offended. They were
found guilty ot deliberate cheating, and, there
fore, unfit for the service of their country.
It was fortunate for the faith of Divine
Right Baehr that the blow did not fall on the
anthracite barons while he lived. The shock of
government Interference with a hard coal
cinch would have saddened and shortened, his
life. . Occasionally the grim messenger is mer
ciful.
A multitude of returning vacationists will
keenly appreciate the news that a stack ot work
a foot high welcomed President Wilson to his
desk. No feature of a summer scout carries a
deeper note of joy than the knowledge that work
Insures a gladsome welcome home.
Medical authorities agree that human lungs
require double the quantity of air for the exer
cise ot walking and running over that needed in
sitting down. From this it may be guessed that
the drain on the atmosphere of Rusala must be
enormous at the present moment.
If the City Planning commission's Jurisdic
tion includes "the city beautiful." ooa ot its first
recommendations should 'be for transplanting
that hideous "Welcome" arch to some other
location where It will not disfigure an otherwise
artistic civic center.

everything repuldve to tha moral. Intelligent and pro

intchcocklam stands for aa It is personified In hla

Fremont Tribune: Omaha flnda that with Its
greater girth aa a result of annexation It must pro

Kearney Democrat: A portion of the greater city
of Omaha la to be prohibition ealoonlesa, according
to tha statement of Commissioner Kugel, who says:
There will ds no saloons, or even pool balls In Dun

that will not appeal to Mayor "Jeema," and we are
wondering If Mayor "Jeema" la powerless to veto the
notions of Commissioner Kugel.
Papllllon Times: Let Omaha hold another booster
day for the 6maha baas ball team and It wilt aurely
spell laat place for that aggregation. Something la
radically wrong and the owner of tha team must feal
tha pang of financial stringency caused by having a
tall end team. Papllllon fana now never mention or

while a few years ago with a winning team scores
attended tha gamea dally. It pays to have a winner
or, at leaat, a near winner.

for Omaha.
Kearney Hub: Nearly every one In Omaha la en
gaged In a Billy Sunday controversy. But Billy will
coma and Billy will go. He will besin with a alam

OMAHA, Aug. J. To the Editor of the
Bee: From newspaper reports I see that
the city of Omaha la going to ask the
people of Dundee to pay the regular city
levy for 191a, and In addition pay on a
lovy of 43 nil lea, which was adopted by
the village board for the fiscal year,
1816-191C, before consolidation became a
fact It appears to iue that Dundee prop
erty owners will be hit tight hard if thla
goea through, and tor two reasons:
First, they compel that community to
pay for two fiscal period In one year.
Second, they are taxing thara twice for
the period of January 1 to April 10, 191.
which period Is covered by both levies.
Again, South Omaha property Is taxed
by the city commleaioners to the amount
of 1123,000 to cover the period of differ
ent fiscal years. But Instead of taxing
this difference to South Omaha property,
aa In the caae of Dundee, the city coun
cil aaka that the entire property of
Greater Omaha pay for it and thia, of
course. Include Dundee, I think one of
the fundamentals of t&xatiou must be
uniformity, therefore It la highly Im
probable that the above outlined method
will stand the teat of courts.

OMAHA, Aug. IX-To tha Editor of
The Bee: Ever the contest goes on be
tween expense, or saving money, arrayed
against the value of a human life!
Over a thousand persona were killed in
the Iroquois theater holocaust before
rigid exit laws were demanded. Nearly
forty lives were given up as a sacrifice
to a weak and rotten girder in the
municipal auditorium at Long Beach, Cat.
BaJlroada murdered thousands of people
for year before safety devices and pro
tection were offered. Sickness, disease
and death waa the vanguard of our pure
food lawa. Adulterators of foodstuff
would ruin the health of a nation for a
few paltry cent of profit. The ill
fated Titanic was allowed to leave port
with only enough lifeboats for a third
of the passengers. Think of the fire In
the Triangle building In New York, where
160 girls were burned to death and killed
just because the only thought of tha
factory owner waa money! Greed and
erase of gold was tha power which al
lowed two old rattle-traps the Slocumb
and the Eastland toply their trade.
Always after a terrible catastrophe the
great American public arises to demand
an investigation after the damage la
done. This is needless expense.- The
money should be expended on investiga
tion before accidents. What we need la
a report on all buildings, fectorlee, boats,'
In fact, everything used by or for the
public . ... .
Silence has given consent too long al
ready to the sacrifice of life for accumu
lation of wealth. Now Is the appointed
time for concentrated action making the
greateat thing on earth the preservation
of a human life!
Give ua rigid Inspection and there will
be no "accidents" nor "goats."

The dealings of the administration with
Carranxa do not seem to be fair. That
la aaytng a good deal, but we know that
Nebraska had a man,ln tha cabinet who
could see nothing In Mexico except
Villa, and, every favor waa shown Villa
by that member of tha cabinet When
the fact la known that the- administra
tion haa been permitting franchises In the
natural reaourcee ot thla country, to a
coterie of high financiers, why should
we be surprised in seeing tha same ad
ministration showing favors to those
financiers In Mexican affairs, where they
have natural resources unexcelled T My
assertion, by many people, may be ques
tioned; but I am ready, at any time, to
show the exact franchises disclosing the
purported facts. Carranxa haa aald "no

The Bee: A few days ago Trie Bee pub.
Ilahed the famous, or otherwise, poem
declaring .the hate of the Germans for
England.
I remembered reading some weeks
ago a description of that poem, for the
supposed writing of which the supposed
author had been decorated with the Iron
cross by the German emperor.
I looked up the article I read It In and
In the Literary Digest ot June it, pace
1&2S, I find a correspondent of the Lon
don Morning- Post who says:
"The famous 'Hymn of Hate Is noth
ing but a bold plagiarism.
"George Herwegh, the stubborn Ger
man revolutionary of seventy yeara ago,
was the author of thia 'Hymn of Hate'
and addressed It to Prussia (whence be
waa expelled) and the Prussian tyranny
of 1941. In Its original form It read:
'We all have only one common foe
Prussia.'
"Ernst Liaaauer, who several months
ago published in Jugend the 'Hymn of
Hate,' which haa at present such, a
vogue In Germany, simply substituted
England for Prussia in Herwegh's earlier
lucubration.

Lay aalde your tools of labor, for the fli
la at Ita ending.
Mind and soul and body all are clamor
ing to be free.
Put away today's misfortune and tomor
row' fresh Intending.
Turn your lootstepe through the city
home to me.
Far- beyond the nolaome pavements
where the lla-hta gleam gold and gay.
Like swollen bubbles bobbing down the
canyon of the street,
t await your weary spirit as It wings Its
eager war
On the pinions of your longing strong
nnd fleet-
There my arm that ache with tender
There the heart of me shall keep you for
its deepest and Its beat,
And your griefs shall be forgotten In
my kisa.
Shall It matter if the tryste we hold are
ever in our dreaming?
Shall we yearn in vain 'for things we
know can never, never be?
Sweeter far than worlds that are, the
secret world of only seeming.
When at duak I feel you coming home
to me.

Get the Punch!
By J cane G'Hara Day
HE punch is the deciding thing
in a lot of other places besides
the prize ring.
Jess Willard is not the only
man who has stepped into fame
and fortune by having the right
punch at the right time.
If a play succeeds, it does so because it has
the punch because, at the psychological
moment, it springs the line, that makes the
audience sit up and take notice.
The place "where the right punch can
make most money is in advertising.
I have labored through advertisements
that were harder to read than Plutarch's
Lives. But I have seen others that held the
attention as tightly as the greatest piece of
fiction.
There is today a man drawing $25,000 a
year from a big corporation because he can
suggest the ideas that will make the public
do business with his concern.
Whyt
It is because he has in his brain the punch.
With a phrase or a certain line of type he
can hold the attention of the reader.
Deep thought and imagination are as nec
essary in newspaper advertising as they are
in sculpture, poetry and painting.
Imagination is the essential of every hig
success. Fortune was never built on any
thing but originality.
And imagination and originality are the
things that produce the punch.
The public wants to be hit between the
eyes. It likes to have a sensation. And
everybody who can get a thrill out of a news
paper advertisement becomes interested im
mediately in the establishment which put
out that advertisement.
The stronger the punch, the bigger the
profits. The more gripping the sensation,
the more continuous is the crowd that comes
to you.
Get away from the cut-arid-dried "C9c a
yard." Build something around it Adorn it
If you have sense enough to do business,
you have brains enough to talk about it in
commanding style.
Imagine! Originate something! Make
your house the synonym for good reading in
the advertising columns.
Get the punch!
