More Deadly Than the TJ-Boat.
Reports of loss of British liners in the Eng
llsh channel off Dover on Sunday did not come
with the surprise that might have attended such
events a few months ago. Vagrant "mines" are
the terror of the waters around the British Isles
Just at this time.' Torn from their mooring by
the terrlflo storms of the last few days, these
uncontrollable engines of destruction are drift
ing Into the fairway and working havoc among
the shipping. In the opening days of the war
the belligerents bent every energy to strewing
the waters with destructive devices ot all kinds,
the purpose being to render navigation unsafe.
Thla has been accomplished with remarkable ef
ficiency. The new war occupation of mine
sweeping haa served in aome measure to keep
certain lanes free for the passage of ships, but
the winds and waves bring confusion. The ex
perience of Sunday Is not new, as ships have
been sunk In the North Sea and elsewhere In the
waters of the war cone through collision with a
wandering mine. The danger of a mine exceeds
that of a submersible, for the undersea boat can
at least give warning before Its strike, and
makes selection of Its victims. The lesson Is that
a number of practices common to this war will
have to undergo revision whenever enough of
order Is restored to permit consideration of the
problems.
The Saddest of All.
Omaha has recently had an exceptionally
large number of child fatalities resulting from
accidents of one kind or another. The sudden
blotting out of an Innocent youngster's life Is
the saddest of sad experiences. To have a bright
boy or girl of tender years start out In a playful
mood only to be brought back home a cold corpse
is a blow that stuns and paralyzes. It makes
no difference whether It is a coasting accident
or an automobile collision or a drowning or
the discharge of a dldn't-know-lt-was-loaded gun
In the hands of a playmate, the pity of It and
the Heedlessness of It strike a telling blow.
Unfortunately accident will happen and lit
tle tots will take reckless risks, but there is no
consolation to grlev'ng parents In wise saws.
The only moral to be drawn Is the admonition,
"Look well to the children."
Closer Cattle Inspection Needed.
Another report reaches The Bee of tubercu
lar cattle being shipped into Nebraska, coming
with a clean bill of health from the Inspector
In the state where they were purchased. Sev
eral previous attempts of owners of Infected
stock to dispose of them by sale to buyers at a
distance have been recorded, and a Justified de
mand Is now made that government inspectors
be more vigilant. Endeavors to stamp out in
fection, especially tuberculosis, among the herds
of the country will come to naught, so long as
owners of diseased stock can dispose of them
to innocent purchaser. Many device and trick
are resorted to by unscrupulous shippers to evade
the law and defeat the tests. Most of these are
known, and should be rigidly guarded against
Nebraska has of late become a great purchaser
of pure bred cattle, and the efforts to improve
the herds of the state should have every encour
agement. This means that closer inspection
must be provided (or, that the western breed
ers may have the protection to which they are
entitled." ' .......
Germany's Answer EeaiiariBgf.
In the tone of the answer from the German
Imperial government to the United State on
the matter of submarine warfare is (ound little
occasion (or Immediate apprehension. The Ger
man government quite naturally contend (or
It version of the controversy with earnestness,
but not in a way that leave the Impression of
an approaching Impasse. Renewal o( pledges
given a to unarmed merchantmen was a mat
ter of form, but will serve a reassuring those
who had conceived the Idea that the kaiser
government was planning to run a mad dog cam
paign with it undersea boats. The crux of the
case turn on the status of the armed merchant
man, and this will be the subject of debate (or
some time. If the modus Vivendi proposed by
the United States can be made effective, the
crisis I over. But that the Allies may be looked
to contribute in any way to the relief of the stress
between the United States and GermanyM not
apparent However this may be, war with Ger
many doea not appear to be very near at the
doors of Uncle 8am.
Preparedness
Insurgents Back on the Reservation.
From Washington come word that the ghost
dancing la over (or the time and the insurgent
democrat are all back on the reservation, the
spasm of last week having passed away in im
potence. President Wilson has gained a moral
victory of no inconsiderable value over the un
ruly members of his party in congress, who were
bent on overturning his foreign policy. Hi
courageous declaration in his Utter to Senator
8tone was too much for the men who had so
loudly trumpeted their plans, and they are again
proving the trath of Senator Root's charge that
the party I amenable only to the Influence of a
club. Senator Oore and Representative McLe
more and Bailey have retired to thetr tepees
and the Missouri tribe is again purring around
the place, aa peaceful and Innocuous a could be
wished.
The (allure of the unpatrlotio attempt of the
Bryanlte to (urther embarrass the president in
his course at this critical time expose the emp
tiness of their pretensions. They had planned
to make It appear that the follower of the life
secretary of state are the real saviors of theS
country, on whoa action hangs peace. Instead,
they only made more plain the futility of the
democratic party when It cornea to dealing with
questions of real importance.
In some quarters the notion prevails that
Andrew Carnegie owns the Peace Palace at The
Hague. Some of the peace missionaries thought
they might freely roam about the premises of a
fellow countryman, but altered their viewpoint
when shown outside the Iron gates. The palace
bears Carnegie's name for the same reason that
certain public libraries do.
"" Zx-Ooveraor Leslie X. Bhaw.
MAN 18 a flKhtlri animal and only those who fail
to understand his nature hava believed wars
could bo. or can be prevented by moral uplift
or Christian culture. Until a new dlapcnaaUon ar
rives nallone will learn war. and the only way they
can bo prevented from prsctli In war Is through
the organisation of the United Sovereignties of Karth,
tinder a restriction patterned after the constitution
of tha United ftatrs of America, but riving earb
sovereignty the tight to such Internal government aa
It pleases, witli president, congress, auprema court,
army and navy, but limiting the armlea and navies
of tha several sovereignties composing the United
Sovereignties, the eama as the National Guard of each
aoveralgn stale la restricted. And even then peace
can be Insured only by such preparedness aa will en
able it, the United Sovereignties, to enforce peace.
This country existed and barely survived sla yeats
under srtkies of confederation, but Its existence was
more prorartoua during that period than during tho
preceding seven years of revolutionary war. That
league of friendship between tha thirteen states waa
In every way aa strong and effective, however, aa
any league now proposed, whether intended to In
clude all so-called "world powers" or limited to Pan-
American countries.
Before the Mexican war we had a treaty of amity
with that country, thrice reiterated, pledging etern.il
friendship between the two republics and the peoples
thereof. It waa never abrogated, but. was renewed
after tha war, and It still existed when we recently
bombarded and captured Vara Cms. I purposely
avoid saying It was then In foroe. Suoh treaties, such
leagues, such International conventions, are never In
force, for there Is no one to enforce them.
There waa a similar solemnly mada and more
solemnly ratified troaty of amity In existence be
tween thla country and Colombia, when ws recognized
Panama as a sovereign republic, then only one day
old. and when ws officially notified Colombia that If it
attempted to suppress tha revolution and resume
sovereignty over territory admittedly here but yes
terday we would wipe It from tha map.
There la no division of desire to eacape war, and
no division ot determination never to ba tha aggrea-
sor, or to wage a war of conquest; and I do not be
lieve there Is much division of opinion among those
whose opinion Is based on knowledge of facts, and tho
logic of events, that either we will have to get tnlo
tha present horrid conflict snd determine who shall
be tha winner or wa will be compelled to whip the
winner If wa are able, and get whipped If unable.
It Is not necessary to either approve or disapprove
the steps that have been taken or omitted In adher
ence to our policy ot neutrality in order to note with
apprehension that we are making no friends and
placing no belligerent under obligation to come to
our assistance when the great day of reckoning shall
arrive; a day as certain as any toward which every
event logically points, and that can he prevented only
by soma at present unseen contingency. In times
past Ood haa wrought many miraculous deliver
enccs, but In later years ha has quite generally left
the nations ot earth to face tha natural results of
their acts of omission as well as acta of commission.
Tha human side ot Ood the Bon was touched with
compassion, and he left many examples for those
who might profess to be His followers, but ss I
read the record Ood the Father la a disciplinarian.
Iet It be remembered that this Is Ood's war or there
Is no Qod In the sense In which we have been taught
and as we try to teach. And If It be Ood's war. tell
me why we alone should expect to escape why we
alone should profit through its horrors.
I shudder sa X reoog-nits that the victor In the
present conflict, or soma one or mors of the victors
may do about as sny of us would If condi
tions were reversed. If while we were fighting for
our very existence they had let our brothers be
slaughtered, and our sisters outraged, on territory
where they had forbidden us to set fool ws would
sooner or Istar call them to account. I somehow
believe, gentlemen, that as soon as wa had cotton
free of the strangle hold of existing war ws would
settle somewhat harshly with that nation that had
mads merchandise of our necessities, and had re
fused protection to those of our people wbo had
chanced to be In territory over which it had grata
itously assumed sole Jurisdictional supervision. We
would see to It that any nation that had persistently
nagged us while we were shedding our life blood and
exhausting our substance In try In to make this
planst fit to inhabit, and to perpetuate principles of
liberty and Justice) professedly as dear to It as to us
should assume an indemnity ample to pay Its share
of tha cost we had Incurred, and many times the
profit It had exacted while we were in throes.
I always aeeept expert testimony est complex que.
Hons, wherein I have no training. In tha present In
atanoe I assume that the opinion of even a few men
educated at Wast Point and at Annapolis for Just
suoh occasions, Is safer to follow than that of a thou
sand Arkansas farmers. Wast Virginia coal minors
or Naw England lumbermen; and every one of those
so-educated and trained (axoapt one, and only one)
tell us that any of the four principal belligerents. If
left free by the others, can actually land on our shore
a foroa sufficient to take every city, every factory,
and everything subject to capture, within 17S miles
of the city ot New York in one month's time and
our wives know that that 17J miles stretches far
into Naw England on tha north, beyond the Jersey
ooaat on the south and inland to tha coal fields of
Pennsylvania, and that It Includes all. or nearly all,
our munition factories, small arms, big arms, small
ship, submarine and big ship producing plants,
powder mills, arsenals, extension coal areas, and more
than aOO carloads ot gold and silver now actually
stored In government vaults In this city alone, to
say nothing of the contents erf tha mint and tha sub
treasury at Philadelphia. I do not know that these
can ba oaptured. I onjy know that they are worth
coralnc after and that our army and navy experts
say that they can be had for the coming.
X have a son sa dear to me aa any aon la to
any father. If this country gets Into war. and It will
unless It prepares Itself to enforce puaca, that son
should offer his services. He la of tha kind and typs
that will be required. If ha should fall to enlist the
government will have tha right to conscript hlra;
but the curse of Ood will and should rest upon that
nation and that people that wUI call Its beat blood
to the colors without having flrat Uught them to
ks care of themselves, and that will not furnish
them as good arms as they are forced to face, that
will not give them ammunition to last till tha fight
is over, that will not cover their positions and movs
menta by field artillery equal In quantity and of as
long range aa that of tha adversary, that will not
provide sir craft and submeriite craft In ahort. that
will not do all that human resource and human skill
oan do to make thetr defensive position tenable anJ
their offensive movements successful. Anything leas
man tns oeat la aosotuteiy worthless. Any preparaj
naaa lesa than adequate preparedness la useless, and
war waged with antiquated or Insufficient equipment
la worse than murder, for It subjects those who heed
the call of duty, and who obey tha command of tha
country, to tgnomlnloue 'defeat and shameless
slaughter.

for that reason, I wish to present the
facts In the case as outlined in attached
letter from the minister of the Interior,
Dominion of Canada, dated Ottawa,
January R, 1918, In which be says:
Numerous papers In the United Stales
have recently advised American cltlxen

an official pronouncement upon the mat
ter. 1. therefore, beg to advise you that all

tion, such action haa not been considered

even were conscription Introduced it
would apply to Canadian eltlxena only.

OMAHA, Feb. 18. To the Editor of The
Bee: The large headlines over ona
column of a recent Issue are: "Columbia
Must Rule the Pacific." In thla sen
tence Columbia means the United States.
Probably the headlines tat newspaper have
an Important Influence on the character
or qualities of the views of many read
ers, even when the headlines, as often la
the case, miarepreant the true meaning
of the utterances that follow them.
There never has been a time when It
was more Important for the people to thla
nation to have a clear conception of the
proper rule of national conduct than
pow. My present purpose Is to call at
tention to th fact that if It la the am
bition and purpose of this nation to rule
the high seas, we are cultivating the very
disposition that w condemn In th con
duct In every other nation, that ehows It
Wa need to b careful not only to make
fair representations, but to make our
conduct and true Intentions euch that
our actions will not belle our words. Only
thus oan we attain tb moral Influence
or power that would give the deepest
satisfaction to us and make this truly
the most Influential nation In the world.
The headlines referred to were baaed
upon words attributed to Admiral Badger,
but hla words, as reported, are: "A. fleet
capable ot dominating tho Pacific ocean
is the only sure protection of the Pa
cific coast" In reality bis sentiment Is
not at variance with that expressed re
peatedly by President Wilson; that we
aim to defend our rights and Interests,
but net to Interfere with the free use of
th high seas by any, other nation for
any legitimate purpose. It Is supremely
Important to maintain this attitude and
to have the people of other nations under
stand It. It would be vain to expect to
improve International relations without
the adoption of higher moral standards
than have perralled heretofore. Greed
and arrogance must be marked tor de
struction. Only thus rsn wa hop to
hav lasting peao and prosperity.

James Gannon of Philadelphia, the
"man with the Iron nerve," Is dead at
the age of 83. Fifteen years ago he de
clared he would "rot In Jail" rather than
sign a deed to property on an order of
court, and was promptly committed for
contempt. After seven years' Imprison
ment and still unyielding, ths Pennsyl
vania legislature passed a special act
authorising th eherlff to execute tha
deed, and Gannon, defeated, was released.
I do not seek the mountains h!t;h,
So strangely made;
They are so far up In the sky
I am afraid.
To Whistler's Branch Just let me hie
Through woods and glade
Where on the bluegrass I may lie
In maple shade
And listen to tho catbird's cry.
Or serenade
Of darning-needles as they fly;
Where I can wade
And swim and fish and row, near by
A smiill cascado.
Here trees and waters never sigh,
Nor one upbraid;
No graves of klnKS to droop the eye.
Nor arts decayed.
To mar vacation's harmony
And Joy Invade.

Hero are two facts about
the Remington which
every typewriter buyer
should know:
1. Th Remington Column
Selector adds 2S per cent to
the letter writing speed of the

number of comparative tests.

Adds 25 per cent to the speed
Adds nothing to the price
Oh, yea, other mschines have devices which look like It, with the five
key, etc. It Is easy for a salesman, who knows the supreme merit of
this Remington feature, to call them ''column selector" keys. But there
,Kt no other device on any other typewriter which can do what the Reming
ton Column Selector does.

It ti the nly feature which pro

reaching any writing point.
And thin are the features which
make the 25 .per cent, speed '
