It will be for the purpose of training mechanics for emergency use in con nection with war operations. That we have had the men well equipped for the needs of ordinary practice is admitted, hut they are suddenly faced with duties that are novel in a sense. These men ' are of a class that has held high rank in the in . dustrial world, for the American mecHanic has 1 always been in the front, both as to adaptability and as to proficiency in his calling or craft He is now required to accustom himself, not to the orderly processes of manufacture, but to the unusual conditions that arise from the most stressful service to which man-made machines , possibly can be put War drives at top speed, , and only the strong and fit can survive the ten ; sion. Machinery must ever be in perfect shape, ' and mechanics of the highest grade, of utmost . versatility and full of resource are wanted to keep the wheels moving. This is why the train ing school ia started and why its graduates will be among the leaders in their lines. Our ad vance in this .direction is just another proof that we are 'getting into the great game on an effi cient basis at last. - WHY IS WOOD SIDETRACKED? To the inquiry why Major General Leonard Wood is sidetracked as his division is leaving for the French battlefields and assigned to innocu ous home duty, Secretary Baker is quoted as re plying: "It is not the custom of the department to explain orders to officers." Perhaps it is not the custom to explain orders to officers, but there is sure to be a general demand that this order be explained to the public. General Leonard Wood, with the possible ex ception of General Pershing, is the one officer of the American army who commands popular confidence in his high military ability, intense loyalty and strict devotion to duty. He is the one officer of the American army who saw far ahead and signaled the warning of preparedness in advance of all others. It is known, however, that he has been "in bad" for some reason with the War department overlords since the advent of the Wilson administration, and his successive assignments to "back-seat" posts , savor alto gether too much of a persecution. What the people want is to win this war to win it as speedily as possible and with the least outlay of men and money, and it is the" current belief that General Wood's services in the field of action would contribute greatly to this end. If there is any good reason why General Wood should be kept on the War department blacklist, when there is such a crying need for all our best military talent, it should be given out. Between State and Nation. Secretary McAdoo having signified a willing ness to hear from state railway commissions on the matter of intrastate rates, the ruffled plumage of the Nebraska board will no doubt be smoothed again. It is scarcely probable that the final de termination of the railroad administration will be swayed to any great extent by representations of the state boards. Their presence and in sistency on consideration of purely local condi tions was one of the contributing causes that brought about the situation which almost forced the federal government to take control of trans portation. It was not alone traffic within the states that was affected by the rules and regula tions laid down by the state boards, but traffic between the states suffered as well. This was recognized by the administration, even at a time when it apparently was most opposed to the re publican plan for centralizing control of the railroads, and the exigency of war provided a convenient excuse for adopting the course that was so generously denounced during the cam paign of 1916. State boards will now have an opportunity to make a showing before Mr. Mc Adoo, but they will have to present strong reasons if they succeed in altering his decisions. Rates and movements will be under federal con trol until six months after the war has ended. What will then happen 'is yet to be determined, but few expect to see the old system of divided authority restored. Anna Held Dying. Americans will learn with sincere regret that Anna Held's case has been pronounced hopeless. Their first acquaintance with this woman was as an artist whose press agent emphasized sensa tional stunts alleged to have been performed by her. We were regaled with stories of her "milk bath" and other similar performances, until she stood before us as the personification of frivolity. Now we know that back of this was the shrewd business woman, who deliberately capitalized our national craving for the frothy and the startling, and furnished it in such quantity as brought her ample reward. But we have come to know her in a better and nobler way. When the war broke forth Anna Held came out as a patriot. She went to the trenches, not to seek notoriety, but to cheer the men there, just as did her greater compatriot, Sarah Bernhardt From the trenches she came to America, to help arouse the people here. Her tour of the United States, in the course of which she was overtaken by her fatal illness, was not to gain money for herself, but to assist in caring for French victims. None of the multitudes who heard her recite "They Shall Not Passl" or sing "Joan of Arc," will ever think of her as the girl who sang "Won't You Come and Play Wiz Me?" or any of those alluring but evanescent ditties that brought her earlier fame. She wiped out all the memories of the short skirts and the flirtatious wink of her enticing eyes in her glorious plunge into the work for France and the world. Her exertions and ex posure hastened her end, and Anna Held de serves to be listed among the heroes of her won derful country. To show that they have no intention to show discrimination, the Huns made an effort to drop bombs on an American hospital. That they failed to kill any nurses or wounded men is not their fault The chivalry of the German high command is on a parity with its general purpose. , While Nebraska was going over the top for Liberty bonds and doubling its quota for the Red Cross, it kept right on leading the country on thrift stamp sales, its last month's showing being three times as great per capita as its near est rival. Among the Boys Over There Etchings Drawn by the Official Newspaper of the American Forces From the Stars and Stripes, Published in France. "There was the gun, still in position, and beside it two dead gunners. In front of one lay two dead Huns; in front of the other there were three. Our fellows had sold out dear, and held out long, as the heaps of cartridge shells around the gun showed plainly." They sold out dear, they held out long. You might write a biography of those two Yankees, fill it with citations of their sterling conduct, recount the whole story of the short, sharp', bitter encounter northwest of Toul in which they died, and in the end all your fine words, all your fair-phrjsed tribute, could express nothing finer than those two simple statements of fact. They sold out dear, they held out long. Their epitaph? It was there beside the two bodies, written in those heaps of car tridge shells that had brought five Huns to their doom right at the gun-muzzle, and wha shall say how many more beyond? We started when we first heard an American soldier use it with reference to the United States; but yet, after all, why shouldn't he, if he wanted to? For it is for him "the old country," the one he's left be hind, the one from which he derived his ed ucation and his livelihood, the country of his ancestors. And there's an affectionate lingering over the words that makes the phrase mean a very great deal. After having been separated from the United States some of us for nearly a year, a great many of us for. half a year or more (as the gold service stripes bear witness) we can, all of us, have a great, deal more sympathy than we ever have had in the past for the man who speaks of "th ould coun three," "da old-a country," and so forth. We now know just how he must have felt when he first arrived on our shores, and was at tacked by that undoctorable malady of home sickness. We get his point of view; and it's a mighty good thing for all of us that we do. "The old country." It's some country, isn't it? And oneof the things that proves its greatness .is that men who have formerly talked of 'th' ould counthree" and "da-a old-a country" are now to be found fighting its battles on a foreign soil side by side with the men whose ancestors helped to settle "the new 'old country.'" Rather it is not "the old country" at all; it is the ever new country, the ageless country, that draws all manner of men from all manner of races to itself and makes them proud and glad to champion its cause, to giv.e their toil and blood to that cause's furtherance. They're calling them the "steel Stet sons" now. Since the Stetson itself has gone the way of all flesh, there is no danger of confusion, and the "tin hat," the "Carnegie derby," or "Charleyschwab bowler," as it has hitherto been variously known, has in consequence acquired a new name. True, the steel variety except in the case of the specially lined officers' issue doesn't fit as snuglyf as did the Stetson of blessed memory, because the headband doesn't sweat up and warp the hat along with it to the contour of the human dome. But it's a lot safer than the average Stetson for wear in the northernmost regions of France, where the sky is just full of a num ber of things all day and all night. So "steel Stetsons" they are until some body else can think up something better. You smoke every month enough cigarets to reach from where you are to where you come from, be it Salem, Mass., or Salem, Ore. You smoke, to give an average figure for the A. E. F. that may be exceeded some months and not quite reached in others, 16,000,000 boxes of the pills; you also find time in that period to dispose of 3,000,000 cigars, 600 tons of cookies and crackers, 463 tons of bar chocolate, 850,000 cans of jam, jelly and confiture and 20,000,000 sticks of chewing gum. You fall down terribly on one item, how ever. You chew, in a month, only 60,000 pounds of plug. It is violating no confidence to state that there are no good matches left in France. The sulphurous stinker, indigenous to the country, was never any good to begin with, except "for revenue only." Whenever you use it you get a taste of hell half way up your smoke, and by the time you get beyond the half-way mark on your cigaret you're so all-fired mad you don't enjoy the non sulphurized portion of it no, not for a scent. Consequently you never buy the stinkers unless there positively isn't any thing else in sight or, rather, in smell. The near-English match, the one with the wax stick, isn't so much better. It's so little it's always getting lost in your pocket if you carry it loose alongside the box, and the box itself is so small there really isn't room to strike it on. The wax match is supposed to be a longer burner than the or dinary wooden kind, but it shows the same fickle partiality to going out with the wind that its humbler sister does. Not even Irish blood will help you to get a light with a near-English match; and if the Irish can't get fire out of the English wowl In a little city somewhere back of the Lorraine line a club of French and American officers dedicated not long ago to the mem ory of General Lafayette six shiny new por cejain bath tubs and two showers. The club barber acted as master of ceremonies and put the tubs into service by turning on all the hot water spigots. "Officers came from SO kilometers to at tend," he relates. "By train and motor car! On foot! On muleback! And by aeroplane!" It is literallv true that rn PrnrVi nffir., did arrive by aeroplane and, of course, no one doubts the rest of thi barber's story.

To the Editor of The Bee: Speaking ot the "pitiless publicity" policy attributed as a slo gan for the -hew city administration, what's the objection to publishing a list of all city employes, their salary and what they are supposed to do to earn it? The taxpayers of Omaha (and Doug las county) are entitled to know who they are paying salaries to, and if the new city officials have the backbone to carry out their "pitiless publicity" program they will include a sugges tion similar to the above in their line of action and thereby do something past administrations did not care to do for fear of disclosing how certain politicians got a living. . To paraphrase a war-time saying, "either work or get oft the pay roll." , ,! SOUTH SIDE. When the Boys Come Home Visioning the Joyous Scenes the Future Holds Minneapolis Journal. It is not too soon to picture to our minds the day when the soldiers who went forth from us with courage and lofty patriotism will "come marching home again with glad and, gallant tread," their tasks accomplished and victory perched upon their banners. Never in human history did men fight in a more righteous cause. Never in human history did men face a more treacherous or soulless foe. Never in human history did soldiers deserve more at the hands of those for whom they fought Their country loves them and honors them, and appreciates the sacrifice they have made, and when they come all hats will be off, all doors will be open and all hands will be extended. The country will be theirs, not as the result of their demands, but because a grateful people will gladly lay at their feet the honors they so richly deserve. These boys will come home to a new country, to a country that has found its soul, to a country purified as by fire, and to a country largely redeemed from intemperance, extravagance, selfishness and greed. They will learn that their heroic example and their willingness to make the supreme sacrifice for their country's honor have had much to do in effecting this change, and this will be no small part of their reward. What rich memories will be theirs! What an honor to have responded promptly to their country's- call- when its honor was assailed and its integrityethreatened! What an honor to have helped weaker nations to the enjoy ments of life, liberty and happiness! And what an honor to have been permitted to de fend for other nations as well as our own the very principles and ideals of liberty and de mocracy that their fathers contended for in the war of the revolution and in the war of the rebelion. When these Soys will return is not here predicted, but that they will return victorious is made certain by the repeatedly expressed purposes of our government and the govern ments of our allies to fight this thing through to victoripus peace, by the purpose of our people that the people of France and Brifain ,and Italy to make all the sacrifices necessary to that end, and by the fact ours is a righte ous cause. It is not too late for the slacker and the pacifist to spare themselves the shame and the disgrace that would otherwise be theirs when the soldier boys come home. Some will be left on the other side not to return. But their will to die will be the call to us to live more unselfishly than we could have done without their sacrifice for us. Reduced Output of Autos From a production of 1,000,000 automo bile cars in 1917 to 250,000 in 1918 is a big fall, but that is what the government has virtually ordered in order to save the labor, the coal, the manganese and the steel this industry consumes and divert its use for war purposes. Air machines will be made instead of pleasure cars, machine guns instead of Fords, auto trucks in place of Hudsons and Cadillacs and torpedo chasers instead of Studebakers. There is a big supply of last year's machines for sale by those who have gone to war or who cannot afford to use their cars because the sons who ran them have gone to the front or are in the training camps. Those who want to afford the luxury of a car this year for the first time will have to be content with a secondhand car unless he is able to get one of the 1918 model which is being turned out in diminishing quantities. Automobilists may regard the govern ment's decision as arbitrary and unnecessary, but it is neither. In France not a single car for pleasure purposes was manufactured last year and only four cars were turned out in Great Britain. Fvery auto factory over there has been turned into an establishment for making war weapons and there has been no hardship on labor and thus far there have been no complaints concerning the profits that have been allowed on the new business to take the place of the automobile produc tion, it is not unlikely that the experience on this side will be similar, though there is no report at hand from any of the American automobile companies that shows how differ ently they are faring now from the conditions when normal production of cars was the rule. xview lork financial World. rmnsv 1 One Year Ago Today In the War.

Aimed at Omaha Pierce County Leader: The Omaha Bee, a republican paper, is the kind of a sheet we like to read. The edi torials are true-toned and full of pa triotism from beginning to end. The Bee stands for President Wilson in his prosecution of the war, some thing most other republican papers cannot say. Yes, this means some two-by-four weeklies not very far from here. Gothenburg 'independent: Ac cording to The Omaha Bee and a few other Nebraska newspapers, the metropolis on the Big Muddy will soon blossom as the Alpine rose and xude a fragrance which will cause the lotus to fold itself up and quit business. For one who has the price of a visit from out-state it will only be necessary to possess keen eyesight and an unimpaired smeller to realize at once his having arrived at this new Arcadia, where business ruffles will go glimmering and where only the perfect order and serenity of a modern Elysium prevail!

When It was proposed that the school children should raise, sou by sou, a fund of 365 francs to pro vide for the first war-made American orphan, not because the money was needed, but by way of a token of Rrat ltude for American aid to French orphans, the fund, starting in a sinalp Paris school, rapidly grew to 13,000 francs before the subscription was closed. ft "Over There and Here On a new style of uniform for the army there Is a saving of a third of a yard of material and $20,000,000 a year in cost for an army of 2,500, 000 men.

The pompous officialdom of Berlin attempted to prevent the authorities of the suburban town of Neukoelln from checkmating food profiteers by going into the food business on its own hook. The books of the mu nicipality were seized and taken away. Hungry thousands started trouble instantly, more trouble than the diminished police force of Berlin felt inclined to tackle. Pompous officialdom saved its fall by restoring the books and permitting Keukoell nera to launch municipal ownership in food. . Triumphi for Osteopathy. Omaha, May 28. To the Editor of The Bee: I believe that everything that can possibly aid In not only win ning the war, but in making the 11: and health of our heroic boys "over there" secure, should receive the hearty support of every American. There is now before congress a bill providing that osteopathic physicians be taken into the army and navy serv ice on equal terms with medical men, provided only that they comply with the same requirements demanded of medical men. It seems that the sur geon general opposes their acceptance into service. Yet why this is so Is not clear In view of the -great good this form of medical practice has ac complished. As an example of this good accom plished by osteopathy, I wish to cite a single Instance that occurred at Washington during the present month. An Australian soldier-poet in the sig nal service of the British army, by name Tom Skeyhlll, was wounded at the battle of Galllpoll peninsula De cember 8, 1916. The injury rendered him totally blind. Being unfit for service, he was engaged to speak In various war-drive campaigns. After having been pronounced hopelessly blind by some tof the most eminent specialists in the allied coun tries, he came to America to work in Red Cross campaigns. While in Washington he was taken to Garfield Memorial hospital, where Dr. Riley D. Moore, an' osteopath, treated him for his injury. Within 15 minutes he exclaimed, "I can see you, doctor; I can see you." His gratitude for the recovery of his sight, after 17 months of total blindness, induced him to write an appreciative letter to the Washington Times, of the 5th inst., detailing all the facts. Is it worth while, or even fair, to reject a system of treatment for our soldiers capable of such benefits? L. J. QUINBY. LINES TO A LAUGH. "T aa averyons who Uvea in Plunkvllle bought a bond."
