When the Deutschland Sails.
The imminence of the departure (if it has not
already taken place) of the submersible merchant
man, the Deutschland, brings a little closer the
real crux of the application of international prin
ciples of law to its condition. It is easy enough
to treat the vessel as a peaceful merchantman, and
extend to it all protection and immunities while
in port; this involves little or no stretch of com
ity, and amounts to only a reasonable application
of recognized rules. - When the Deutschland has
passed beyond the league of salt water that sepa
rates our jurisdiction from the freedom of the
seas, what of her condition? The Entente Atliea
have positively declined to admit the peaceful
status Of the boat, even while in port This means
the Deutschland will be destroyed, if possible, by
any enemy warship it may encounter. --
In this event, s most interesting question will
be presented to our State department It has al
ready been unofficially intimated that the United
States will not undertake to follow the Deutsch
land to sea with the protection afforded while in
our territorial waters." Herr von'Jagow, foreign
secretary for the imperial German cabinet, has
been quoted as ssying it is unthinkable that the
Um'ted States should take this position, in view
of its insistence' on the application of the rule of
visit and search in connection with the suspended
submsrine warfare. , The difficulties of "visit and
search" as between a surface cruiser and a subsea
merchantman are obvious. Equally plain is the
advantage possible to a submersible warship un
der the rule that permits the adoption of any dis
guise to deceive sn enemy, .requiring only that
true colors be diiplayed at the moment of attack.
The perplexities of ses warfare have not been
lessened by the appearance of the Deutschland. j
While Captain Koenig and his crew are natur
ally apprehensive on beginning their return voy

' Keeping the Bench Frss From Politics.
In view of the "crocodile tears so profusely"
shed by the democrats over the republican "in
vasion of the bench" for a presidential candidate,
the trading without scruple m judicial appoint
ments to smooth out rough places in the demo
cratic roadway has more than - passing interest
Going to Ohio for the newest supreme judge,
which already has a member on the supreme
bench, end leaving the great empire state of New
Yoi'k entirely unrepresented, must have a reason
which may possibly be illumined by this dispatch
published under Columbus, O., date line in the
New York Times, whose steadfast devotion to the
Wilton cause is assurance that the item is not
printed wilfully to reflect on the democratic poli
tical engineers:
A secret democratic pact, dictated by Presi
dent Wilson on the advice of Secretary of War
Baker, is reported to decree the shelving of
Senator Atlee Pomerene in favor of ex-Governor
Judson Harmon, giving the federal judge
ship left vacant by the elevation of Judge
Clarke to the supreme bench to Pomerene as s
sop to his wounded feelings...
. The nomination of Clarke is described as
, the first step, in the plan, ...The purpose, it is .
said, is to get Hsrmon on the state ticket and
Pomerene off, the former being looked upon as
strong politically, and the latter as weak. Even
the Cox democrats, who have been avowed
enemies of Harmon, are strongly in favor of the
. plan for the sake of party good. .: ..- , -
But the success of this plan hinges on the
- ability of Pomerene to defeat his opponent in the
primary for the senatorial nomination, ex-Con-'
gressman John J. Lentz of Columbus. If Pom
erene wins,. it is pointed out, he. can withdraw,
lesving the democratic committee to fill the
vacancy.' Harmon would then be presented.
Of course the scheme may not work out as the
artful architects' planned, but, regardless of the
suceess of the subsequent steps, democratic pro
fessions as self-constituted guardians of the
ssnetlty of the courts against the defilement of
politics will be effectually belied by any such
attempt to follow up what has already been done:
;; Railroads and th War Problem. J
' ' An expert railroad man, who has been study
ing the question of troop movement in the light
of experience gained during the recent mobiliza
tion, says the railroads need $,000 additional pas
senger coaches to adequately accommodate a
troop movement on anything like a war scale. At
present the roads of the country have a' surplus
of 8,000 coaches, which will serve 400,000 men
under War department, specifications. Alt the
ears in the country would be required were it
needed to handle a million and a quarter men
within forty-eight hours. This gives an outline
of the problem to be solved. Some years ago the
great governments of Europe sent experts' to
study the methods used by American circuses in
loading and unloading, and the lessons then
learned have been of great service in the present
war. The United States army and the railroads
as well might team something were they to fol
low the same courie. At any rate, proof has been
given that neither is ready.
i Teat for Democrats.
The revolt of the local Jacksonians promisee
to develop, temporarily at least why ii a demo
crat The Jimsonian wing of the party has given
life to the definition of what is a democrat by
grabbing all the local plums, privileges snd pre
rogatives, thereon waxing fat and in some degree
saucy. Notice was solemnly served On the Jacks
at St Louis that they were far outside any chance
to get anything, not even a ringside seat at the
convention. Of course this served to soothe the
bruised spirits of the chiefs, who wore out and
finally exterminated the' Samosetts, and rendered
them all the more tractable. Their present demon
stration ia a noble sight, "but with the aenator
backing his political partner. Fanning; Mr. Bryan
going good for "Mayor Jim," and Art Mullen in
the saddle aa national committeeman, it looks like
the Jacks were out of the running entirely. But
if they want to go to the state convention as ipee
tators, nont, should interfere.- ,,,,, ,
- Down in Lincoln the furor in th city hall
revolves about the attempt of Mayor Bryan to
exercise his supervisory powers by making recom
mendations for the conduct of the several depart
ments whose heads insist they are co-ordinate of
ficers on whose preserves the mayor has no right
to "butt in." "Brother Chsrley" even, has the
audacity to outline a few changes which he thinks
ihould be made in the management of the munici
pal waterworks. We would like to see the mayor
of Omaha take a similar, dip into our municipal
water reservoir just to see the flareback. ' ,

Storyett of th Day.
One bright sunny morning a small boy was
busily spinning his top outside a suburban house.
. Along the road came a book canvasser. .
"Your mother in?" he asked the small boy, as
he opened the garden gate. '
"Yes, sirl" said the small boy, spinning his top
again.,
The canvasser knocked and knocked again at
the. door of the house, but could get no reply.
Coming out to the gate he said again to the email
boy: . - , .
! "I thought you said your mother was in?" '
' So she is, sir."
"But I've knocked several times and can't get
any reply." ' ' ' ' .
"Perhaps not," said th Smalt boy winding the
string carefully around hia top. "I don't liv
there." New York Timea. ' v

Killiag Turtle- Doras.
South Side, Omaha. July 20. To the Ed
itor of The Bee: I saw by one of the daily
papers an item stating that hunter from
the South Side And turtle doves very scarce
on account of the hot weather. The real
reason for the scarcity of doves la that tha
o-ealled sportsmen have practically ex-,
terminated this fine bird and it seems to me
that some of the bird lovers societies ought
to try to get the next legislature to pass a
law to prohibit the killing of doves. They
are about the most useful and innocent of
all birds and when they only furnish about
a mouthful for those who are so cruel and
ruthless as to kill them It Is time a law
should be passed to stop the Anal extermi
nation of this bird.
The dove has always been held as the
symbol of purity and Innocence and It Is m
mystery to me that the legislature should
ever have passed a law making an open
season for innocent birds that do not light
other birds and only destroy buga and In
sects that are destructive to crops It Is
time that all bird lovers rose up In their
might and demand of tha men who call
themselves sportsmen that they cease kill
ing tha turtle dove, which Is aso called the
mourtting dove. The cry of this bird Is
peculiarly attractive, being far different
from the cry or song of any other bird.
Let us all do all that we can to save this
fine bird from further destruction this year,
nd then when the legislature meets let u
all make an effort to get the legislature to
pass an act , prohibiting forever the further
destruction of the turtle or mourning dove.

Omaha, July SO. To the Editor of The
Bee: Every since Eve donned the abbre
viated, form of gown in the Garden of Eden
woman's garments have been a proline topic
of discussion. Just now we are disturbing
ourselves over one-piece bathing suits for
women. It makes good summer reading, I
grant you, but what bothers mo ia why
make all of this fuss over bathing suits
when thousands of men are having their
eyesight Impaired by reason of the hosiery
style show which Is being paraded In public
every day? One-piece bathing suits "com
pose" themselves to the water and are more
attractive than many of the other styles.
My wife told me so. What I want to know
is, why so many of the women nowadays
display so much hosiery 1 Are we going to
have a race of astigmatic and myopic peo
ple? - H ' ' COUNT VERITAS.

THE SECOND MARRIAGE.
M. B. Buhler In New York Wmea.,
Over green fields and far waters, tha mern

Out In the clover, murmured the .droning
sound of the bees;. . .
And lightly, upon the church spire,, nitner

The weather vane was shifted by the Idle

"Who giveth this woman In marriage T"
Before the flower-strewn altar, .
The voice of the priest fell gravely:
"Who giveth this woman away TV
In the hush of the pause- that followed a
chill crept over the sunahlne
"Not I," came a sea-blown whisper,
; For I held her only a day!" ; lH
Then the father spoke, and fondly he who
created and formed her, "
Who cherished hr being and molded the
soul in Its Infancy;
"Behold, I give the woman, who have gives

Tot she, from the surging water. . has
drifted back to me I" t

mocking sound as of laughter,
-Sweet and low, and alluring, and softly
as a summer sea: . -
"O friends and father and all men, knew
I am not of your giving!
Behold, as of old,, and forever, I give my
self, and am free!" '
