Belief for Jewish War Sufferers.
The proclamation of President Wilson, mak
ing tomorrow a special day for gathering con
tributions for the relief of Jewish war sufferers,
calls general attention to tbe urgent needs of
by far the largest group of war victims because
not confined to any one country.
Heart-touching appeals have been made for
the hapless Belgians, for the poverty-stricken
Poles, for the exiled Serbians, for tbe persecuted
Armenians, but none present a counterpart of
the wretched Jews who happened to have In
habited all rf the contested war arenas, and who
have been rendered homeless and fugitive,
women and children and old men, the sick and
the helpless, almost all of their belongings gone,
dependent upon assistance for clothing and
nourishment to sustain life until tbey ran get
a foothold for a new start.
By reason of this exceptional condition, con
tributions for Jewish war relief take on no color
of sympathy for or against any of the belliger
ent nations. It is an appeal for humanity, for
a down-trodden people whose misfortunes are
in no way or tbeir own making, out wnicn are
more acute because tbey have been for centuries
down-trodden.
What Is also to be emphaslxed Is that while
relief work for the Jews bas been carried on
since the beginning of the war upon a colossal
scale. It has been financed so far wholly by the
Jewish people, without calling upon those not
of Jewish faith, who are now for the first time
asked to help In this worthy cause, growing out
of a world-wide calamity.
Germany's latest Concession. '
A note now In tbe bands of tbe secretary of
state at Washington Is said to contain Ger
many's ultimate answer to American represen
tations in. the Lusltania case. It concedes
practically everything but the main point. On
this the German government seems to be ob
durate, declining to admit that the sinking of
the passenger boat without warning was not a
proper form of reprisal. The modification of
the German admiralty's orders to its submarine
commanders, since the Incident, does not change
the principle.
This is the point on which the president has
laid greatest stress in all bis communications
on the subject. If Germany declines to go fun
ther than Is at present signified, then an im
passe has been reached, so far as this issue is
concerned. The Importance of the point Is en
hanced by reason of the fact that It is Involved
In the controversy with Austria, and the addi
tional fact that Turkey is coming to the front as
an offender In a similar way by claiming credit
for the sinking of the Persia.
The most serious phase of tbe submarine
situation bas not yet been passed, despite optim
istic reports from Washington. Tbe president's
next move will be of deep Interest to his countrymen.
Twenty Facts About
Jewish War Sufferers
II af
Fortunately, several presidential primary
slates come to taw before Nebraska does, and
will, therefore, permit Nebraska republicans to
watch the speed of the horses entered before
laying wagers on the results, in this state.
Tbe city council wants to know when the
street railway company's franchise expires. If
the problem Is as complicated as our other
franchise problems have been, it will take the
supreme court of the United States to settle the
question.

When Superior Advantages Don't Count
Omaha is pronounced an Ideal location for
a government munitions plant and the assem
bling and storage of war supplies of all kinds.
From the standpoint of accessibility and trans
portation facilities, no one can successfully con
trovert this proposition, nor can any other city
of tbe middle west claim superior advantages.
But what are we to expect when we recall that
these advantages apply to other government
activities, and that since the advent of the
democratic administration, Omaha baa lost Us
Indian supply warehouse, and its army quarter
master's depot bas been maintained aa a nam
only. What are we to expect when we remem
ber the shabby way Omaha was eucbered out of
the federal reserve bankT With the democrats

In the saddle of the democracy, Omaba not only
enjoys no favors, but does not get even a square
deal.
The following twenty facts are Touched for by
fha Jewlah Colonisation aaaorlatlon of Petrograd. the
Hllfsveraln der Deutchen Juden of Berlin, the Israel
Itlacha AMIans su Weln of Vienna and the American
Jewlah Relief committee of Paleatlno organisation,
all on the ground, and In a poaltloa to set first-hand
and accurate Information:
Hasela.
1. Nearly three-quartere of a million men, women
and children of Jewlah faith are homeleaa.
I. The expulsions started last May wero aystemat.
Ically followed up with decrees covering a very much
wider territory.
t. The notices to the Jewlah resldenta to leave their
homes varlea from three to twenty-four houra.
4. In addition to the phyalcal and mental a gory
cauaed by theee ex pulsion, a far mora aerloua reault
waa the breaking up of thouaanda of families, mem
bers of which were loet on tho way.
i. Old men dropped on tho road from eihauatlon.
Women In travail died. , Children took 111.
1 Tha congestion of the refugees In unsanitary
quarters In the Jewish cities raaulted In the outbreak
of Infectious and contagious diaeaaea, so that the In
fant mortality In cities Ilka Lods and Warsaw mounted
alarmingly.
7. In May of this year, and after tha ft rat expul
sion had been put into effect, tho following number
of refugees were reported by the Jewlah Colonisation
association: Warsaw, 76,000 people; VHne, U.OflO; Ra
dom, J.000; Klelca, S.000: Konak. 4,000; Minsk, S,UU;
Praaanyah, 1,600; Ouaslatln. IW; Bhakl (Suvajkl),
1,800; Lomaha, S.OOO; Khmelnlk, Province Klelca, I.W9.
Bine that time these numbers have increased almost
tenfold. No accurate figure can be given of the num
ber of refugeea because hundreds of thouaanda are
eating up their little savings, and have not registered
at any relief agency. These are rapidly reaching the
end of their resources and will soon have to fall oa
philanthropy.
I. Tha commercial life In tha Russian Pale is lying
waste. Tha merchants, great and small, are ruined,
and unemployment is universal.
5. In Poland alone there are nearly 300 towns that
have suffered materially from the war. '
10. Over 1000,000 townspeople are destitute.
II. Destitution la so wideapi ead that no one province
can be selected aa typical of the want Especially
miserable are tha resldenta of the provinces of Kovno
and Orodno, tha provinces of BeaaaraMa, Podolls and
Volynia.
Gallrla. .
11 A commission of the Jewish Colonisation asso
ciation traveled through sections of Gallcle, and they
reported that the economic waste and ruin in thore
sections were even greater than In the Russian prov
inces.
13. Even In normal times Oallcla Is a poverty-
stricken country, and now that thouaanda of towns
have been rased and destroyed, hundreds of thousands
of Jewish people are thrown on the mercy of the Tov-
ernment which givea M cents a day to each refugee,
and on tha private philanthropies, ilka tho Israelitlache
Alliens su Wain, which are so limited in thalr resources
that they continually have to plead to tbe Jewe of
America for relief funds.
U. In Vienna alone there are over 300,000 OaUctan
1 These refugees are huddled in Improvised lodg
ing houses, In atablea and basements, and In the mine
of former buildinga.
17. The soup kitchens are mobbed every day. and
while they give aid to a few hundred, needy thouaanda
are oa line clamoring for the elementary needs of existence.
11 The situation of the Hungarian Jews la those
counties bordering on Oallcla is deplorable.
Paleatia. i '.,.'
w. Tha misery of Palestine la an old story. Cut
off from communication with Europe, upon whose
capital it lives. Its cropa waated. Ita fields fallow, and
the plague destroying the orange crop, the Inhabitants
of Palestine have Indeed been in a sorry plight. Mr.
Loula U. Levin, who recently made a personal trip
with a commission through that section, reported un
equivocally that the immediate want of the inhabitants
there la for food. , -
Something drastic Immediately effective something
that will arouse more than superficial Interest-must

Eastern shipping circles appear unusually
hopeful fo early peace abroad. What basis there

steamers for the expected rush of Americans
abroad "when the cruel war Is over."

Giving" Up the Philippines.
Tbe president and bis advisers are standing.
at the fork of the road on tbe Philippine ques
tion, and are about determined to take the on
leading to a definite) promise of Independence for
the islands within a fixed time. Probable effects
of the proposed policy are readily discernible.
The adoption of the Clarke amendment to the
administration bill will be notice) to the powers
to prepare for the grand scramble, to
see which can grab the Islands first Whether
England. Germany, Japan or any of the others,
it may be easily understood that the process of
exploitation will be smoothly resumed, and the
Filipino will soon be back where we found him.
It is admitted that the Filipino is no; ready
yet for self-government, nor is be likely to be
come so within a reasonable length of time. The
United States bas done more for the people o(
the Islands In the last fifteen years than Spain
did In tour centuries. We have set up industries,
established schools, divorced church and state,
provided for stabls government, much of the
executive and administrative authority and
power being In the hands of the natives; espe
cially is this true of the law-making and admin
istrative machinery, and have secured for the
people a greater measure of individual freedom
and security than they ever knew. But we have
not finished our work there. ,
Even with self-government, the islands will
be too weak to maintain independence, and the
likelihood that Japan will Immediately seise the
archipelago Is strong. Efforts of our government
In the Islands have been continually hampered
by the Bryanttes with their vague and Indefinite
promises. Withdrawal with the task unfinished
means the abandonment of the natives to their
former submerged condition. It will relieve us
of some expense, but what about our responsl
billty and moral obligation under the duty we
assumed in 18S8?

Calls Ceeaaalsalaw flaa Best.
OMAHA. Jan. SJ To the Bailor of Tha
Bee: Some time ago a certain writer
wrote that the etty council Is better than
eommlaxloa form of government He
stated that 60.000 cltlsens of tha South
Ride do not receive their ah an. . But of
we consider the question we shall see
why commission form of government Is
the better.
First of all, the members of the city
council are choeen by districts or wards
and usually one member from each ward;
these, ef eourse, wish to get all they
can for their respective districts. The
commission form does away with these
evils of the ward system by electing men
from the city at large. In Chicago the
ward system led to inequality of representation.
A small body of men la better fitted
to govern a city than a large council.
composed of members who consider thero-
aelvea the special representatives of the
petty districts from which they were
chosen. The affairs of a city are neces
sarily complex and often technical jln na
ture, ana require lor ineir special man
agement skill and efficiency. City gov
ernment is often and Is, In fact compared
to the management of a buslnaaa enter
prise like a bank or a manufacturing
concern, which, as experience baa shown,
can be better conducted by a small board
of directors than by the whole body of
stockholders. Finally tha concentration
of the powers of the city In a small
body of men tends to secure a more ef
fective responsibility than can be secured
under a system in which tha responsi
bility la divided between the mayor and
council. ED CHAPMAN.
State Debts aad Prohibition.
LINCOLN. Jan. 24.-TO the Editor of
The Bee: I have had my attention called
to a circular that la being aent out to busi
ness men. especially bankers. In Nebraska,
on "Cost of Prohibition in the South."
It purports to give "some official facts
and flguYes" from "Finance, a Com
mercial Journal," published at Cleveland,
O. These ao-called facta are a reprint
from the Banking World. This matter
was furnished these paper by an adver
tising agency of New York City and has
lately appeared In a number of alleged
financial publications. The article is ad
vertising matter, pure and simple. Yet,
our wet friends are sending it to business
men to Influence them. "Finance" is
owned by the Brltton Publishing company,
which is controlled by C. A. OUs. a
broker who deals largely In brewery
stock and bonds, and who was an active
member of the wet campaign committee
of Cuyahoga county during the recent
prohibition campaign in Ohio.
Aa to the reliability of the facts, we
wish to merely give one or two Illustra
tions. "Finance" says, "for lack of funds
Georgia has been compelled to hold up
the salaries of achool teachers, and re
cently has had to place an additional
13,600,000 bond issue on the market." In
reply to this statement the governor of
Georgia has written, "The aalarlea of
achool teachers in Georgia have been paid
as promptly since the prohibition laws
went into effect as they have been paid
In the last twenty years. The I3.SO0.OOO
bond Issue was to retire $3,600,000 bonds
issued thirty years ago."
Finance." aays. "there were .179 Illicit
distilleries seised and destroyed tn 190; In'
1914 the number had risen to 308" In Ala
bama. That la true, and In both of these
years Alabama was a wet state and not
(under prohibition. Alabama's large debt
la also twenty years old, as is also the
debf of Tennessee, of which "Finance
seems to make so much. It Is also true
that Maine, Kansas and North Dakota
are all dry states, and not a single Illicit
still waa reported in the last four years.
nor was- an illicit gallon of whisky seised
in any of them.
Its complaint with relation to Virginia
is certainly wide of the mark, for Vir
ginia's prohibitory law has not yet tone
Into effect. The deficit In Wast Virginia
was ftSO.OUl In June, and yet It was wet
at that time.
While it was discussing the deficits of
these so-called dry states, "Finance'
might well have called attention to the
fact that Maryland is Juat now expert
enclng tha greatest difficulty with ita
finances it has ever had, and that
Louisiana, which ia certainly wet enough,
la the worst debt-ridden state of the
south.
It the liquor Interests hope to win the

this, they are certainty doomed to disap
