V. THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY In O. 1918. CHICAGOAN SAYS VICTORY WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus De clares Decision Over Ger mans Now Would Be Ca lamity to Mankind. Dr. Frank V. Gunsaulus of Chi cago declared in an address before the University club that the winning of a decisive victory now over Germany would be a great calamity to mankind. "If such a victory were won by the armies of our allies without ourselves paying our part of the atonement it would be an incalculable misfortune." he declared. "This is a war for character. It is not being fought alone on the battlefields of Europe, but all over the world in the brains and hearts of men and women." He drew a contrast between the ideals of three great contemporaries Lincoln, Gladjtone and Bismarck and showed how those very ideals are clashing today in the great world war. Lincoln's Five Books. "Abraham Lincoln, who united in himself the strains of the north and the south, the Puritan Lincoln of Lincolnshire and the Cavalier Lin coln, had five books as the foundation of his education. They were the Bible, Shakespeare, the constitution - of the United States, 'Pilgrim's Prog ress' and 'Robinson Crusoe.' "From these he learned the. exeat principles which made for his won derful growth as a man; the liberty, fraternity, equality, the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. "Now, turn to Germany, where Bis marck was imbibing the principles of Frederick the Great, the blood and iron principles of oppression of the helpless. "And la contrast to this again we turn back to Lincoln, standing on that flatboat going down the Mississippi and seeing the slave girl in chains. There he took a vow that, God giving him strength, he would fight to make it impossible for any human being, black or white, to be bound and sold as a chattel. "Today these two opposite princi ples are fighting each other in the greatest war. The Bismarck-Ho:.en-zollertf ideal of oppressing bleeding, pale, cowering humanity with all the rightfulness of passion ard lust and murder, and the Lincoln-American ideal of binding ud the wounded, de- " fendin ' the oppressed, comforting the sorrowing. It is a war for character, a war to set right a great wrong ideal that has grown in the central empires from mediaeval times. In human hearts and minds the great war is working itself out and none can doubt on which side victory will be.' Lincoln Highway Consuls Hold Meeting at Fremont Mate Consul George F. Wolz of the Lincoln Highway called a meet ing of all- local consuls Saturday at Fremont, to discuss the problem of obtaining federal aid on the highway. The Lincoln Highway runs on the Union Pacific railroad right of way for more than 100 miles through the state, and the Washington authoitics have decreed that no federal aid will be given on that account. It is up to the several counties hav ing this problem to face to either change the route or get county money by a levy or through grading or pav ing districts. Fremont and Dodge counties have lined up six miles west of Fremont for concrete, most of the property owners having already signed up. This paving district runs back two miles on cither side of the highway, and the ta is from $4.50 an acre on abutting property and graduating down to lesser tax as the zones of 40 acres each recede from the highway. State Engineer George E. John son went into the federal aid proposi tion thoroughly. "England, during the first year of the war, stopped building roads. To day, as a result, she has found her mistake and is spending three times as much money building highways as in normal times," said the state engineer. Secretary Smith of the Auto club attended the meeting. Speakers to Tell of Work Of Food Administration Meetings will soon be held in every town in the state where well informed speakers are to tell the people of the amis, purposesand work of the food, administration. State Food Admin istrator Wattles has appointed A. C. Lau of Lincoln to direct this cam paign of education. Mr. Lau has ar rived in Omaha and is preparing to Outline the campaign. The list of people who recently volunteered to serve the food administration in Ne braska is before Mr. Lau. He will choose workers and speakers from this list.

BENO SUGGESTS WAY TO INCREASE THE WOOL SUPPLY Bluffs Man Advises Merchants to Help Children on Farms to Acquire a Few Sheep. If the clothing merchants through out the comity would help the chil dren on the farms to acquire a few sheep, they could do much to in crease the wool supply of the land, in the opinion of Charles Bcno of Coun cil Bluffs, who spoke at the opening of the third annual convention of the Nebraska Retail Clothiers' associa tion at the Hotel Fontenellc Tues day afternoon Mr. Beno told the delegates of the Nebraska association that the mem bers of the Iowa association are sys tematically putting ewes out on the farms through the children in Iowa. They send one or two ewes out on the farms with the farmers' boys or girls, and take" their notes for the value of the stock. They give the children plenty of time toi pay off the note, so that they can wait until they get the profits from the increase of the flock. Mr. Beno says this has already increased the popularity of sheep on the farms in Iowa. Many New Members. Secretary C. C Westott of Platts moutlt reported 104 paid members of the association up to date of opening the convention this year, and said many new ones are now being taken in.
