What This War Means Nir Tork Folic BnUetla The United States is at war with Germany. N That means that ever person, whether native or foreign-born, who claims the protection of the American flag, is at war with Germany. ' " War is more than fighting. War is service. War is sacrifice. War is the elimination of self. War is. country first and the individual last. This war will directly or indirectly affect every person living in the United States. This wir will not be won unless every person does his or her part, gives his or her service, makes, his or her sacrifice, places self behind the need of the nation.

The na 'ral ambition of the soldier is to get to the battle front, "where glory waits," but mod ern warfare requires at least ten men behind each rifle. Not all may face "the imminent deadl' breach" nor smell the fumes of the "villainous saltpeter," but all may do a soldier's duty. Whether left behind to look after army details in America or serving with depot organizations in France, the Work is needed and on its prompt and proper performance depends the chance for suc cess at the front. Loyal devotion to the cause will aid in winning the fight and each man who employs his skill and ability to its utmost in the place where he is put is "doing his bit" as it should be done. Old Glory has need for all and the work of each is useful "They also serve who only stand and wait," and every man can do something to help win this war and helps most when he does that something cheerfully. The spirit shown by the officers and men of the Sixth Nebraska is most commendable and in the end will bring more of pride to the home folks than if they had been permitted to go through the campaign as they were started. This sort of loyalty to a common cause is what has made America a truly great nation. I - V ' At it Again. The Bryan parrot and the anti-Bryan monkey have resumed hostilities at Lincoln. The presence of a great war is not enough to restrain these bickering brethren. Their own private feuds and ambitions take precedence, among themselves, of all other business. The resignation of the gover nor to take command of a regiment affords an opportunity for loosening the bonds that have held them in check for a few months and they are busy with their little plots and counterplots for doing up the other fellow. Of course, the public is deeply concerned in the statecraft of BrotherQiarley on the one side and of Artie Mullen on the other. Just now the lure of brass buttons has given the Bryaaites an advantage and sends a chill up and down the backbone of the antis. Nebraskans are too busy taking care of one big crop and arranging to plant another to give the show much attention just now. Maybe later on it will get a few spectators, but for the present the utmost efforts of the performers do not interest anyone on the outside. Ultimately it is not going to have a great deal of influence one way or the other on the history of Nebraska, Laurier Goes Into Retirement Announcement from Canada of the retirement of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as leader of the liberal party, which he has headed for over thirty years, would attain the quality of a sensation in pres ence of ordinary events. For fifty-three years he has been in public life there and throughout most of that time has been a dominating figure in Dominion politics, wielding influence on world af fairs and applying his genius for development of his country. Much of the present political in dependence of Canada is due to the policies of Laurier, who vigorously opposed the closer union idea of the tories and insisted upon the national entity of the Dominion. On this issue he ousted the government and for a score of years served as premier of the country, the first French-Canadian to attain that distinction. Under him the relations between Canada and the empire were put on a definite basis and the political independ ence of the colony was thoroughly established. Many well-deserved honors came to him, among them the high place of member of the privy council of the empire, while France also made him a chevalier of the Legion of Honor. His friendship for the United States was a marked characteristic of his administration and was shown in many ways while some delicate questions were being settled, such as the fisheries disputes, the Alaskan boundary and the sealing industry. In each of these Canada's interests were well served, but without in anyway dis turbing relations with this country. The.4,000 mile boundary without a fortification is in Some sense a tribute to Laurier. It was his advocacy of reciprocity with the United States that led to his overthrow, the manufacturers of Ontario uniting with the farmers of the northwest to op pose him. Sir Wilfrid's most recent activity has been against 'conscription, he taking the side of the French-Canadians on this issue. His illustrious services to the Dominion and the empire are somewhat dimmed by this, which may be for given as the act of an old man devoted to his peo ple, whose sympathies have clouded his judg ment . I ' ' ' ' ' Wage Rate for Corn Huskers. Nebraska's State Council for Defense has now an opportunity to do a real service by fixing a wage rate for corn huskers. Nebraska has 250, 000,000 bushels of golden grain in its fields wait ing to be put into cribs. This means remunera tive employment for an army of men for many days. Farmers do not expect to have their corn plucked and cribbed as cheaply as in the past, but do object to the suggested price of 10 cents per bushel as exorbitant and unreasonable. Last year the rate was from 4 to 5 cents a bushel, this including board. The average worker will take care of from sixty to seventy-five bushels in a ten-hour day and good workers have an output running around 100 bushels for the stint , A rate of from 6 to 7 cents per bushel would insure the workers pay of $5 per day and board, certainly liberal, and better than munition workers get. The deputy labor commissioner is getting many inquiries from men outside the state, all anxious to come here for the corn husking, but desirous of knowing what wages will be before they start he greatest service the Council for Defense can give right now is to suggest a basic wage rate for corn husking and thus stabilize the price. Offsets on Indemnity Claims. Count Czernin, Emperor Carl's present for eign minister, intimates that Austria may present a bill for damages to the Entente Allies to set off any claims for indemnity that may be lodged against the empire as a result of the war. This merely re-echoes similar assertions repeatedly made in Germany. ' Austria, however, is in a most awkward predicament on this point, as the war ostensibly .was begun to enable that country to enforce its will and authority over lesser prin cipalities. In the submersion of Bosnia and Her zogovinia, the isolation of Serbia and the threat ened absorption of Montenegro, , the Austrians had given life and action , to. the theory . that might makes riht. To claim damages for de struction incident jto a war so started is in line with that th'eorf , but crcely will stand the test of any printiplf of just'ec. It is reasonable to think the politicians of the Central Powers are .laying the foundation for claims to be pcrpetu atcd in support of their, allegations of injustice done them by. their opponent? ' '"' . - The Sanitary Soda Bv Frei-ene J. Haskin Washington, Oct 3. Comes now the sanitary soda. For years we have been fastidious about our drinking water and we have been reasonably careful to get pure milk. But our sodas we have drunk with a serene indifference to conditions be hind the counter, which in many cases are far from consistent with our high standards of pub lic health. Now, however, this government has issued some strict regulat'ons concerning soda fountains which should interest every large con sumer of the national drink. To be sure, the government regu'ations apply only to soda fountains in the vicinity of train ing camps, bnt once a standard is raised it is hard to lower it which is proven by the history of the hish cost of living. It is safe to predict that it wil not be long before every American, whether he lives near a training camp or not, will be demanding his sanitary soda. The first thing the government finds fault with is the present system of washing glasses. Usu ally this is done in cold or lukewarm water in a tank behind the counter, which is also the tank in which the soda mixers wash their hands. If there is no urgent need to hurry the glass is sometimes given a second rinsing under cold run ning water, but when there is a crowd of custom ers waiting for orders the second movement of the sonata is' omitted.' The spoons also are washed washing sonata is omitted. The spoons also are washed in this tank and so are the cloths which are used to wipe off the counter. Now the government gives the owners of soda fountains two alternatives. Either they must pro vide clean paper or parafine containers in which to serve their products or glasses and dishes which have been washed first in warm, soapy water and tl en scalded. .Spoons must be stT treated in every case.. Unless exceptionally clean towels be used, it is preferred that the scalded utensils be. put in a rack and permitted to drain dry. Furthermore the government insists that the fountain itself be kept clean. There must be no piles of trash or waste material to attract vermin, no collection of grease an'4, slime and no f.ics. Syrup tanks and fruit dishes must be kept covered and the supply of cracked ice, used in various cold concoctions, must be sanitary. The government has not taken the time to get laws passed authorizing these various restrictions. The men are already in camp and soda fountains are springing up in the cities all about them, with all the lure that was formerly exercised by the barroom. Men off duty immediately make for the nearest soda fountain. So the military authori ties have taken the law into their own hands and are supervising the sanitation of sodas. Their procedure is this: The health authori ties of every training camp call a meeting of all the soda fountain owners of the surrounding towns. Then they explain what they consider are the requirements of a sanitary fountain. After which they wait for a week or two. Inspectors are then sent to each of the fountains in every town and if the owner has complied with the reg ulations of the health officers he is given a card announcing the fact. The soldiers are instructed to patronize only the fountain displaying this card. j At first there were only a few places where the soldiers could go. Fountain owners did not ap pear to be running a race for cards. Then the few owners who had obtained them began to ad vertise the fact in their store windows and the local newspapers. Soda habitues, suddenly real izing that they had been taking reckless chances with their health by drinking from unsterilized glasses, followed the example of the soldiers and sought the authorized places. . The sanitary soda as a business asset had won. The United States government, however, was not the first to start cleaning up the soda foun tains. The danger of carelessly-washed spoons and glasses has been, preached by health experts for the last three years and gradually many states have passed laws attempting to insure the sterili sation of soda fountain utensils. Tennessee, tor example, has recently issued the following ordi nance: "Provided, that when utensils are washed by hand they shall first be washed in a strong solution of soap or some other material, with equal cleansing power and that a stiff brush must be used. They must then be boiled in clean water for a period of not less than five minutes and afterwards placed in .a clean place safe from dust and flies." The law further provides that live steam or dry heat may be ased as a substitute for this process. When using live steam the uten sils must be put in a closed container under at least ten pounds pressure for not less than fif teen minutes and when using dry heat they must be subjected to a temperature of at least 365 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. If paper containers are used, says Tennessee, they must be kept in a place free from dust and dirt This applies to all containers used in any public business which serves food, milk and water, including restaurants and hotels as well as soda fountains. Oklahoma goes even a step further than Tennessee and requires health certificates from soda mixers. Richmond, Va., has also passed some recent legislation along similar lines. Other states have not been so strict concerning sodas as they have concerning commercial ice cream, which they regard as particularly dangerous if not made and sold with the greatest sanitary pre cautions. " Commercial ice cream today, indeed, must reach a high grade of perfection in order to com ply with the high standards set for it by vari ous states. Pennsylvania has just finished a law suit' started by the ice cream men of the state, who protested against a mandate providing that all commercial ice cream should contain at least 6 per cent of butter fat Curiously enough, the 6 per tent compulsion law of Pennsylvania is one of the lowest aver ages set by the states in this matter. Only eight other states have suqh a low average Five other states set 12 per cent as the percentage of butter fat to be contained in commercial ice cream and thirteen states set 13 per cent as the minimum. Thus the states as well as the national gov ernment are keenly alive to the dangers of in ferior ice cream and soda, which recently have become a considerable problem. For the con sumption of soft drinks has become the most pop ular of American pastimes, next to going to the movies. But, like the movies, it is in need of censorship. The movement for sanitary foun tains should not be confined to a few states and government training camps. Every American should insist upon his sanitary soda. Loyal Veterans Indignant -Washington foot- In the Congressional Record appears the copy of a resolution adopted by F. C Scholts post No. 67, Department of Minnesota, Grand Army of the Republic. Among other thing? the resolution says: "We think all the agitators that are agitating any question that is against this government at this time when we are in trouble are to be classed with the followers of the kaiser. They should be loaded onto boats and shipped to the country from which they came. If the submarines saw fit to sink them on the high seas that would be something that we would not be responsible for. We know what we Jiad to contend with for the four long years when the copperheads at home were stabbing us in the back. We knew where to find rebels, but never knew where to find the copperheads." The veterans of post No. 67 have hit the nail squarely on the head. The time has now come when those vho are not for the government ore against it. Those who are arainst it are lending aid and comfort to tlie kaser. Such as these have no place in the United States and the prac tical way of d'soosing of tiiem would be, as sug gested by the Minnesota Grand Army men. depor tation. In this voyape to the land which holds Uicir .sympathies tlicy would be su'iject to the same dangers of submarine attacks that all otlier travelers upon the hir'i seas romSatants. non eorr.atarits. rcntra's. women and children must brave nnder te tiermn'v asjUTirt:on of authority over the nniverse. but if m'sfoirtune befell them they would learn at first hand of German cruelties.

Storyette of the Day. Sir James Murray, the author of the New English Dictionary, was once a guest at a literary dinner at which a member of the company, greatly daring, started a discussion concern ing the pronunciation of certain words, i "Have ybu noticed, Sir James," he said, "that in the entire English lan guage there is only one word begin ning with 'su' that Is pronounced as though beginning with 'eh'T This one Is sugar. Having made an exhaustive study of the subject, you may take it from me that this Is so." Bored though he was, the native politeness of the distinguished diction ary maker did not desert him. Assum.ng an expression ot Interest, although his eyes twinkled behind his glasses, he quietly asked: "Are you sure ?" London Tit-Blta A LETTER AND A SWEATER. (Fenalla In Chicago Tribune.)

To the Edi tor cf The Bee: At cne time in the davs cf Israel when the people fell into idolatry, serpents were sent among them and every one that was bitten, died.- But Mcses erected a staff or pole with a brazen serpent on it and whichever or tne tntten gazea UDon this staff with Its serpent, was eaved and lived. We have the words of David, the shepherd boy, musician warrior, king of the Israelites, prophet and servant cf God, that "He that put teth not his money into usury, nor; 1 oppress the innocent" shall never be moved. We can lay the blame of the pres ent world calamity, the world war, as a resuit of money, desire and greeJ for possessions, wealth and position. Money ir the root cf all evi. It beget3 pride and an Incorrect viewpoint of life. I'ride Is the beg nning cf all 6ln. Under the heading of "What Shall It lroiit," a stcry is told of a successful, ttrairht honest business, being sold to another, whose desire for more busi ness, money, caused him to overlook bus;ncrs ethics. "Business is busi ness," flooded his store w;th inferior ner- hnd'-e and raised prices wher ever possible. Such is a common cc itirence in the commercial fields the world over. The German nation Is or was a commercial nation and possibly Its lack of fair play, sicrtsmarehip, is flue to the att'ti'ile "burners Is bns' r"s."

To the Fdltor of The Bee: The writer hereof Is won dering it all future Ak-Sar-Ben pa rades will be rim (or stopped) on the same order ns the ore this eveninar. I cm truthfully 6ay that the parade started exactly on time or at 8 o'clock, but it would have been far better If it hnd not started until 8:80 o'clock, thereby avoiding the twenty or more halts, or until the rtreets were cleared so as to allow the paraders to pass alen. . . Jurt why the board of governors of the Ak-ar-Ben, the city ccmmlpsion crs or the police department did not make some provision to clear the streets at least fifteen minutes before the time scheduled for the parade to start is not understandable by me. Street cars were allowed to enter Six teenth street from Cuming street until three minutes before 8 o'clock, and by the time these street cars reached Douglas street, considering the Jam of Humanity, seme time had elapsed, and the parade was, of course!1, impeded. Forty-five minutes were required for the eighteen floats, bands and i other marchers to pass a given point on Six teenth street whereas thirty minutes, with proper generalship in advance, would be more than ample time. The numerous halts caused more or less complaint from the spectators neaf me, although everyone praised the floats and were not larking in their ap plause. Here's hoping that by next year mttters will be so handled that once the parade starts, it's a go until the "property wason" passes, as no body enres whether or not It stops or breaks down entirely. H. S. SENORD. 1634 Victor avenue. Physicians in the Bible. Omaha, Oct. 3. To the Editor of The Bee: Mr. Moore in the October Irrue of The Bee makes the Bible spon sor for. medicine by quoting, "They that be whole need not a physician." .That would seem 'to be an indubitable fact ana simply proves mat tnere were physicians in Bible times, which no one disputes. While our friend is utterly mistaken In supposing that Christian Scientists have any animosity, towards physi cians, inasmuch as the Bible has been introduced in evidence to support the merits of the profession of medicine, It might be well to examine the rec ord from the affirmative side Instead ot quoting a passage which only In ferential refers to it. In II Chronicles 16:18 we find that "Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet; yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians. And Asa slept with his fathers and died." Job gives us his idea of physicians, chap ter 3:4, "Ye are forgers of lies; ye are all physicians of no value." In the fifth chapter of Mark we have a diagnosis as well as a symptomatic record, both physical and financial, of "a certain woman who had an is sue of blood twelve years and had suf fered many things of many physi cians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse." This account Is also given by Luke, whom our critic re fers to as the "beloved physician." Luke was first a physician, then an apostle, and many Christian Scientists were formerly physicians and they are sUll "beloved." In fact we have to turn back to Genesis, chapter 60, to find a record cf satisfying results and from this ac count it would seem that the physi cians then were undertakers instead of the undertakers following. It Is written that "Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father and the physisians embalmed Israel." Remember that we are not quoting Scripture as any reflection upon phy sicians; we are simply using the rec ord furnished by our opponent. The old proposition is again brought to the front that of somebody chal lenging Mrs. Eddy to go to a hospital snd cure the inmates. The same idea was presented , to Jesus (Luke 4), "Physician, heal thyself, whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum do also here in thy country." Jesus an swered by saying, "Verily I say unto you, no prophet is accepted in his own country' We can well imagine that a hospital with a corps of trained nurses, the smell of drugs and a row of doctors would be the kind ot an "own country" that Jesus was talk ing about Vour correspondent has absorbed the idea that the gift of healing is handed down from one person to an other and that It will not work be yond the second generation. Some thing like the saying in Kentucky that every third generation gets back to sh.rt sieeves. If healing were from man instead of from God he would be right tor no medical formula has ever survived a third edition. Lastly we are told that because Christian Science has not restored the dead, it is a failure. Mrs. Eddy antic ipated that somebody would present that proposition as argum ent for she savs in ."Science and Health. pae 254: "During i " hft solute Christian Science may not be achieved prior to the change called death. For what we do nut under stand we nave not. mr -- . b tlee But the human self must ne evangeUzed.
