The Nocoln Journal takes what seems to us the sensible view of the "harmony mass meet Ing" railed to endorse a set of delegate-at-large candidates to represent Nebraska In the coming republican national convention when It answers objections by saying that meetings of this kind are In conformity with the spirit of the direct primary rather than In violation of it, as furnish ing discussion and recommendation to enlighten the voters In making their personal choice. Neither the editor of The Bee, nor anyone connected with this paper, haa had anything to do with the call for the mass meeting, yet we are not disposed to condemn in advance any move that leads In the direction of solidifying the republican ranks Into the united phalanx necessary to success in the battle of 1916. We are not so concerned ss to the particular individ uals who go to Chicago as delegates provided they are reputable, representative and trust worthy, for we are sure they will have pretty definite Instructions as to what they must do there before they receive their credentials. 4 What Is equally to the point, as the Journal reminds us, the voters have a veto on any "slate" by whomsoever put up and, if they do not ap prove, they can and will break the "slate" and register their preferences as they see fit as be tween all who may be running. So everything will depend on whether the "harmony mass meeting" makes wise or foolish recommenda tions for If foolish the) will be of no avail. For ourselves, we reserve Judgment till the lineup is disclosed. Dutch Disturbing the Dovet. Disquieting news comes from The Hague, where the doves who followed the flight ot Henry Ford and Frau Schwimmer across the rolling brine find their slumbers disturbed by the presence of Dutch soldiery. It is, perhaps, no intentional discourtesy, but the Dutch were certainly negligent in some of the essentials of that fine hospitality for which they have long been noted. They might at leat have provided noiseless accoutrements and soft-soled boots to meet such emergencies as the present. It Is wrong that the cogitations of the peacemakers should be upset by the grind and rattle of an artillery car drawn! along a stony street. Why are not these cars equipped with rubber tires, or, better still, why not dispense entirely with these mili tary demonstrations until the doves are a little more thoroughly nested and domesticated? They are due to stay in Holland for a long time, if they wait until peace la accomplished, and it's up to the Dutch to make them comfortable. Still, it would be Just like the practlcal-mlnded in habitants of the Netherlands to go right on, at tending to their own business, regardless of the disposition of the voluntary guests. Troubloui times for John Bull. In all their history the English people have faced no such crisis as that now presented to them. Division of sentiment on matters of policy Is common enough among the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, and civil war haa frequently been waged In settlement of questions not so momentous as those now involved. With re verses to the army abroad, disasters to ships at sea, and discontent verging on revolt at home, the government has on its hands a task that will require the wisest of statesmanshln to adjust. The keenest of political acumen will not excoed the requirements of directing the present dis cordant forces into the harmonious action that must be had for the preservation of the empire. Blunders may be forgiven If retrieved, and John Bull yetihas his chance. Recent misfor tunes ought to awaken the British to a course less bumptious and more energetic than has yet been pursued. Patriotism is not dead among the people and will readily respond to a proper call. Politics seems to be the most dangerous symptom of the malady at present, and only when it can be allayed will the prospect of re covery be improved. The next few weeks will mark an important era in the history or the Brit ish empire. Label on the Bottle. The supreme court of the United States has Just decided that the label on a bottle of medi cine must not contain a patent untruth, or prom ise to cure a disease for which there is no known specific. This gives authoritative support to a practice already fairly , well established. Prom ises to cure Incurable diseases are certainly made with Intent to deceive, end are not indulged in by reputable firms or individuals. Disagreements of doctors as to methods of medical practice are briefly considered by the court, and are left in the twilight tone, wherein individual taste or predilection may still determine choice of ways whereby to be cured. Some day the doctor who profess to perform miracles will be put in the same class with the vendor of nostrums now on the proscribed list. Common sense may never overtake beliefs In the matter of search fof re lief from misery and disease, but it can protect the helpless. The New York World, staunch champion of the democratic administration, refers to 8enator Gore of Oklahoma "aa being more definite in his opposition to the president than any of his pro German colleagues, except those like Senatoi O'aorman and Senator Hitchcock." If the World keeps on this way it will make it awful hard for these worthy senators to pretend to their con stituents to unswerving devotion to the cause of President Wilson and get away with It. In reorganizing the School board commit tees, would it not be a good idea to recognise the usefulness of all the members Instead of merely those elected on the cltlaens ticket last year? With the enlarged scope and activities of the public schools following the annexation of South Omaha and Dundee, there must be work enough to keep every member busy every minute he can devote to duties devolved upon Mm. The only pity is that these wonderful con gressmen of ours did not think to introduce their various bills "to make war impossible" before the present great war broke loose. Doctors are too solemn to rank as humor ists, yet they suggettt that preening the feathers, is the beat means of losing your grip. The Second Winter THR upftare of heavy fighting on the Russo-Oaloan frontier reminds us that winter In Itself need not force a auapenslon of operations. There were big midwinter battles a year ago In east Prussia, In Ohsmpagne and on the Alane. If there Is a pause In the west and In the Pal k ana It may be because winter haa not settled down on these regions aa It haa on Russia. But it Is also well to recall that the conflicts of last winter. Impressive enoug by the standard of previous wsrs. do not measurs up to the great encoun ters of the present. The decisive battles of the war the Marne, Ypres. West Oallcla were fought In the fall or the spring. Ready though all the armies are for sacrifice, there are llmlta to human endurance, and on both sides the leaders have recognised that they must have suitable weather before they can call upon their men for the beat that ta In them. Winter, therefore, la the season of preparation. The new levies receive their final training. Ouna and ammuni tion are piled up. Positions are mapped and studied to the minutest point It was after a wlnter a prepa ration that the British delivered their first great as sault of the war at Neuve Chappclle laat March. It was with a phalan built up during cold weather that the Teuton armies shattered the Russian lino In Oallcla in May. Now that the war has become more than ever a test of engineering and mechanics, the trenches sre for the time being of less importance than what goes on behind the battle lines. But the winter of 1R16 Is likely to witness a kind ot secret operations for which the time was not ripe a year ago. The men In the trenches will be thinking of peace, and peace will be tn the minds of the leaders and the statesmen. It Is time for Invertorj'lng and casting up accounts, Bethmann-Hollweg did not say the last word when he declared In the Reichstag a month sgo thst It must be the allies who ask for peace. The allied statesmen did not say the last word when they reiterated their determination to fight to the end, and reasserted the formula of no separate peace That Is psrt of the game. Unofficially, we may take it that some inkling of the terms on which (Jermany would be willing to make peace has reached the allied capitals: snd the other way about. Pre cisely because winter Is a time of feverish preparations for a continuance of the war. It la a time when gov ernments may be Induced to ask themselves what will be the advantage of going on. Germany aaya. In effect, "I have another half million men almost ready to take the field In April."' England aays. "Here is snot tier million and a half men, volunteers and con scripts, whom I rsn throw Into the scale." Russia sets rather than spesks. Her armies, once more on tho offensive, sre the best reply to the German contention that Russia Is out of It. And within the national fron tiers the separate governments are engaged In heart-to-heart talks with their people. Food, recruits, taxa tion, casualties, are the toplca that press for attention In the long winter evenings. For Oermsny, as she balances her books for the year, the account standa somewhat aa follows: On the credit side are her visible conquests In the west. In Russia, In the Balkans; and the unbroken spirit of her people. In the west she hss reached tho limit of her offensive; but It Is not Impossible that tn the east and In the south she may pass on to fresh victories. On the debit side Is her food problem not Insuperable, but still a problem. There la the consideration that her strategic problem la not solved, but that the rln? of her enemies Is still unbroken, tha Balkana ' after Russia, and when the Balkana are disposed of, Russia again. Prospects of a separate peace have disap peared. At home there la a desire for peace to thla extent, that a large section of the population does not think snnexatlon Of territory worth fighting for any longer, or desirable In any case. Germany is In the anomalous position of claiming a Victory on points and at the same time asserting that she can hold out for years. A victory that needs years of untold sacri fice to be demonstrated Is hardly a victory. Among Germany's enemies the situation' Is still more complex. If talking of peace Is a confeaslon or weakness, they dare not venture on the thing publicly. It would confirm Oermany's claims with regard to the military altuatton. For Germany, holding out is to some extent a matter ot choloe. For the alllea. It is a matter of necessity. Time la undoubtedly with them. But the time needed for a victory la so indefinitely long, and the sacrifices necessary are so definitely assured, that the alllea may well think It worth while to bring about the meeting of minds In which tho realities of the situation ahall be recognised. The crucial facts are these: A decisive victory is in sight for neither party. "Victory." when It does come, will be measured by shreds and fragments. Both sides spesk of holding out. But the statesmen on either side must .have some Idea of what they are holding out for. Knowing thla, they must be weighing the bitter cost of holding out agalnat the risks Involved In making overtures of peace. On both aides there Is a great longing for peace. An unemotional war critic like Major Moraht speaks of the desolation of the winter trenches, of the severe pressure on the souls of hundreds of thousanda of the educated classes. Things are not very different In France and Ruasia. The feeling Is not unknown la England. It may be only a question of seeking the way out The present winter will find many people tn Europe looking for It eagerly. Generate may bo preparing for a drive again at Balonlkl. against Egypt, agalnat the German lines in Flanders and Champagne. But we take It that men are also preparing some kind of a drive towards peace. Twice Told Tales Aa laaallaat llano.

To the Editor of The Bee: We express our most sincere thanks to his rmor, J. H. Morehead. governor of Nebraska, and Hon. J. C. Dahlman, mayor of Omaha, for their ap peal to the citizens of our state and city to help the poor and starving war vic tims of Polsnd. We feel profound gratitude to the local Knglish press for the ravorabte comment and the publicity given this noble cause of helping the Polish sufferer. And last, but not least, we thank ail those kind-hearted people who 1n any way helped to relieve the Bufferings of the Inhabitants of Poland.. THOMAS KOZtOU Editor Western Stsr. The America Viewpoint. BROW.VVIIXK. Neb.. Jan. U.-To the Editor or The Bee: I muat take excep tions to Henry Arp's German viewpoints In The Bee. That Is the view ot some or the Germans or the Boy-Ed brand, but not all by a long way. There are lots or people of German birth In the United Statee who are true Americans, hut not all. They came to the United States to better their condition and keep their sons out ot the kstser's slsughter pens and not to pattern this country after the fatherland. Mr. Arp makes over a column or charges against the . English speaking people and does not prove one word ot his charges. We Americans know what made this country and what It la and who has kept It aa It was given to ua. And thank heaven f there are enough true Americana to keep it as It has been handed down to them. I was In the civil war nearly four years. There were lots of soldiers that were of German birth, but they were true Amer icans snd were righting for their homes. They were not affected with the kalser Itlo. In those times. I wonder If Mr. Arp ever read the Declaration of In dependence, the constitution, and the history of the United States. (I tear not.) It makes me tired to hear men talk ing about being German-Americans, and English, French and other kinds ot Americans, ir they are true they are Americans before everything; If they are not true they have no business' here. The Arp talk la all hot air of the super heated variety.'- I want to tell him 'that President Wilson Is an American from head to foot and the Americans will he behind him or any other president when the laws are to be enforced. The trouble with Arp is he has a had case ot the kalseritta, which haa settled on the brain and an operation might help out, but I doubt it. F. M. HAIROROVE. R. F. D Route L t The Art of the Dance. OMAHA, Jan. 11. To the Editor ot The Bee: After paying real money to see the recent performance of Miss Ger trude Hoffman In v our city, and seeing this said performance, I am at a loas to express my Idea ot It In Chesterfield Ian language. If Miss Hoffman Was the possessor of graceful lines, I could understand why she might appear on the public stage In the nude, L e., for the sake of art. but no doubt even Miss Hoffman Is aware of the lack of this quality. It it was to illustrate the text that weak woman could bring the mighty brute man to her subjugation by her charm and inflaming of passion in man, I think we poor mortals are pouring oil on the tires by patronising such entertainments. Even I, as the tough-skinned repro bate I am. could not discuss this toplo face to race with anyone, and as far as I can see. If Miss Hoffman cannot at tract the crowds In any other manner, she had better give up her ambition In failure "for the benefit of poor humanity. AN ARTLESS MAN. Why Bother tho Postmaster. TUTAN. Neb.. Jan. 11. To the Editor ot The See: Since last Monday I have had a great deal ot amusement tn read ing the artlclea ot our new matrimonial agency In Omaha. We realize the fact that Postmaster Wharton is not in it for a money making proposition, but for the joy of making two hearts happy that would not have been made happy without his assistance. I em sure Mr. Wharton is notware or the fact that there are thousands of children through out the United States that have a father or a mother in aoma neck ot the woods, they know not where, and eventually tlv children become lnmatea of orphanages and are later adopted out to people that' naturally bold their own offspring above the one adopted. As those children grow older they begin to realise the difference In the treatment of the children that really belong to the parents. Then they become dissatisfied and soon they hit tha drift, and by the time they are 1 years or age they have made great rec ords. Mir. Postmaster, don't you think you are making a mistake In your effort 'to furnish the Texas widow with a hus band T First, I believe if the widow is worthy ot a husband she would have no trouble In getting one in the largest state in the union. Then, too, a man who haa to wait for an opportunity of this kind to get a wife from a rar-off country undoubtedly haa aomethlng marked against his past or he would have no trouble finding a nice, reapectable woman in his own home territory that would make him happy and without bothering Mr. Wharton so shortly after the holiday rush, which has kept him working until late hours for ao long.
