Remedy for Automobile Thievery.
- ' Stealing of automobiles has developed into a
, well organized industry, locally. Statements
have been made that 102 machines have been
taken by other than their owners from the streets
; in Omaha during July,1 and osly a few of these
have been recovered.
: The careless owner, who leaves his car for
; hours without protection ' on downtown streets
I cannot escape his share of the responsibility for
& the thievery. The buyer of "used" machines or
.parts seldom if ever satisfies himself as to the
history of the purchase he makes, and by his in-
difference enables the thief to dispose of his
"booty.) To get around the! first factor, it will
' only be necessary to provide places where cars
can be parked under such form of guardianship
as will make them secure. This must be at the
expense of the owner. The other phase of the
question can be met by demising some form of
record to carry the history of the car and to
'pass from hand to hand as title changes. Such
:a document would protect the purchaser, and
might have the effect of insuring ownership so
far as the seller is concerned.'
One thing is certain. So long as cars are left
' exposed on streets at all hours of the day and
night, owners must not be surprised if now and
.' then one is stolen. And while second-hand cars
can be sold as readily as at present, thieves will
have little difficulty in turning their loot into
cash.
THE INDICTMENT AND THE ANSWER.
In defense in the court of public opinion of
his rotten record of progermanism as a senator
of the United States, the hyphenated World-Herald
comes to the front for its "educated-in-Ger-many"
owner in characteristic fashion. The sev
eral counts in the indictment and the answer read
something like this:
' 1. Senator Hitchcock was elected and re-elected
through a deal with the German-American Al
liance. Answer: Rosewater is a bad man, who is
fingling Hitchcock out for his venom.
2. Senator Hitchcock, within three weeks af
ter Germany violated Belgium, presented a bill
in the interest of the kaiser, to prevent our al
lies from raising airy money through sales of
their bonds and other securities in this country.
Answer: Hitchcock is a perpetual target for
the vindictive Rosewater slander mill.
3. Senator Hitchcock introduced and cham
pioned the kaiser's bill to. stop the export of
arms to our allies and by closing down all our
munition plants to make America helpless when
the Hun should turn upon us.
Answer: Rosewater's efforts have malice
and insincerity written all over them.
- 4. Senator Hitchcock's zealous service for
the cause of the kaiser earned him grateful rec
ognition in the form of a front-page portrait in
"The Fatherland," the subsidized organ of Ger
man propaganda in America.
Answer: Rosewater has been deposed from
his position of party leadership. ,
5. Senator Hitchcock's public pronounce
ment againsj including Austria, Germany's part
ner in crime, in our war declaration' was a still
later outcropping of his progermanism.
Arjswer: Why doesn't Rosewater direct his
attack at" someone, else?
6. Senator . Hitchcock through his paper
again showed his hand by trying to preserve the
right of German enemy-aliens to Vote in Ne
braska over the next presidential election.
Answer: That fellow Rosewater is simply
impossible.
Steadfast, GJorious France.
Commissioner Casenave, speaking for France,
gave a. brief but brilliant outline of the sacrifices
made by his people. It is represented by money;
more than $18,000,000,000 spent in defense of lib
erty; only $3,000,000,000 of this borrowed outside
of France, the rest contributed by its citizens. At
the same time France has loaned $1,200,000,000 to
Russia, Serbia and Italy. Dollars form a cold,
unsympathetic yardstick whereby to measure the
devotion of a people to its homes and its institu
tions, but nevertheless a most convincing one. At
the beginning of the war France was credited
with national wealth of $45,000,0000,000. Two
fifths of this is represented by cost of the war.
The national annual revenue in 1910 was $852,
000,000, very little more than the monthly war
outlay in 1917. Add to the economic sacrifices en
tailed in this increase of public expenditure the
incalculable offering of life so freely made, and
you may be able to visualize the steadfast quali
ties of the nation Germany set out to crush. In
all Us 2,000 years of history, France never shone
so gloriously as now, nor battled so bravely. It
is a privilege to be allied with such a people in
such a fight
World's Races in Battle Array.
One correspondent of a Berlin paper rather
bitterly comments on the fact that in the Franco
American forces at the Marne were found sol
diers of many nations. "Subject neonles." he
calls them, his German mind being incapable of
thinking of them as united under their own gov
ernments. Nor does he grasp the real sig
nificance of this assemblage. Twenty-two na
tions have declared war on Germany. These in
clude the most powerful as well as some of the
humblest of the world, but in the list are none
save those whose people are free, and who rec
ognized in the "welt politik" of !the Prussian a
menace to their liberties. Back of these stand
another group of influential nations, who have
broken off relations with the German govern
ment, thus signifying disapprobation of its course
and approval of the war to crush militarism. The
weakness of the superman is nowhere else so
manifest as in this inability or, unwillingness to
see himself through the eyes of the world. Mak
ing no allowance for the viewpoint of others,
totally disregarding the vital elements of his prob
lem, he has brought on the destruction of his
aspirations and made most complete and effec
tive the co-operation of the democracies of the
world. Calling the roll of the races whose repre
sentatives are fighting side by side in the holy
cause of human liberty ought to prove to any
but the purblind junker the hopelessness of his
cause.
Pancho Villa appears again in the press dis
patches, this time in quest of cartridges, for which
he is willing to trade silvej bullion. And the
shame of it is he will get the cartridges, just as
he did when he was buying them to shoot
American.
The danger the papers printed in other for
eign languages run is that, by making common
cause with the German language papers, they may
all be put in the same basket
July Fourth In Dear Old London
How King and Court Helped Uncle Sam
Celebrate Birthday
From the London Times of July 5 we
take the accompanying account of the ball
game between the army and i.avy teams on
July 4. As is customary, the story of the
day begins with a recital of the fact that the
king and queen attended by the dignitaries
of the court, were present The Times re
porter says: "The afternoon was crammed
full of extraordinary moments. It passed in
such a pandemonium as was perhaps never
before on an English playing field; not even
on a foot ball ground. The United States
seemed to be, shouting in chorus, and Great
Britain joined in, a little breathless, but de
termined to make a good showing of lung
power."
The story then goes on:
Both for distinction and for enthusiasm the
gathering was without precedent in base ball,
or rather "the ball game," as the more know
ing among the spectators were careful
to call it Everybody appeared to realize
that this was the kind of match that makes
history. "When we have matched our rac
quets to these balls," said an English king
once to an enemy herald. An even larger
meaning than Shakespeare's Henry gave to
his sentence was attached to yesterday's
match. It was Symptomatic and symbolic;
for two peoples who have learned to play to
gether were not far from complete under
standing. '
At the end came a moment which, of all
the wonderful moments that had character
ized it, was the most wonderful. The game
had been won for the navy. The navy in
its owff corner, of the field had previously
packed serried ranks of sailors to
shout and demonstrate as soon as the last
stroke was made. The crowd surged onto
the field. Among them, in single file, their
hands on one another's shoulders, like one
huge snake, the sailors twined their hilari
ous path. The uproar was tremendous. Eng
lishmen cheered, Americans yelled, tin in
struments of various kinds braved a racuous
din. The king and the royal party stood
looking on. Suddenly as by magic (whose
magic it was did not appear, but it worked)
the tumult dropped into silence. Across that
silence drifted the soft, almost pathetic, first
chords of "The Star Spangled Banner,"
played by the band of the Welsh guards.
Hats came off. Sailors and soldiers stood
to attention, saluting. After all that noise,
the quietude, accented by the poignant music,
came near being painful. The meaning of
this most significant of all ball games was
carried along the air. There was more cheer
ing afterwards, but cheering of a radically
different kind. The crowd awoke to con
sciousness that the afternoon had passed into
the history of two great nations.
A Chelsea veteran, in his scarlet coat, was
in the crowd. Somebody wondered "what he
thought of it all." Somebody else said, mus
ingly: "I wonder what the kaiser would
think of it all if he could be here." It cannot
be denied that, superficially, the two great
nations were lust making an afternoon of it.
The "rooters, for three parts of the time,
were lords of the situation. "Rooters" are
the zealots who asemble in companies to
howl their respective sides to victory. There
were boards at the entrance to the grounds
directing army rooters to go one way, navy
"rooters" another, and telling them the num
ber of shillings they must pay for their
places. It struck one as a small sum before
the game began; but when the game had
ended those shillings appeared an unjusti
fiable and impudent tax on the hard work of
honest men.
The "rooter" toils with his mouth, to which
sometimes he attaches a megaphone. Judg
ing from yesterday, the army "rooter is a
tame nd inarticulate creature compared
with him of the navy, whose voice is that of
ocean storms.
The navy sang like this:
Give 'em the axe, the axe, the axo.
t Give 'em the axe, the axe, the axo
Where? where? where?
Right in the neck, the neck, the necko
Right in the. neck, the neck, the necko
There I there I there.
Who gets the axe?
Army (very loud).
Who says so? "
Navy! (Much louder).
Then it sang like this:
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
All the navy go to heavenj
When we get there we will yell
"Army, army, go to " (groan).
In honor of the king and queen arose the
chorus:
'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!
Rah! 'Rahl 'Rah!
Rah! 'Rahl 'Rah!
King George, Queen Mary,
Great Britain. ,
No printed page, however, can deal ade
quately with the merits of the "rooter." He
needs music to get justice; something more,
or something less, than music.
The army players wore green with blue
caps; the navy blue trimmed with red. They
assembled before the royal box, and the king,
descending among them, shook hands with
the captains. His Majesty had written his
name on a ball, which he handed over for the
play. Another was soon substituted, how
ever, the intention of the Anglo-American
base ball league, which had arranged the
match, being to hand the autographed ball
as a memento to President Wilson.
The onlookers, who were estimated to num
ber forty or fifty thousand in all, were gently
persuaded to encroach no further upon the
field of play; and the game began. Now,
base ball tempts every man to exaggeration.
As all London ought to know by this time,
it is one of the fastest and most exciting
methods of getting breathless ever invented.
It calls for great skill, and its rewards are
salaries beyond the dreams of avarice. The
dignity of cricket it disowns: the tremulous
tumult of foot ball is as the recreation of
well-mannered mici by comparison to it The
players live on springs, possessing the activ
ity of a high-grade machine. They think by
lightning, and field, catch, and throw, with
the certainty of a itoo watch. As if the
chaff - of the spectators were not sufficient
for them, they chivvy one another. The
pitcher can grin diabolically, if he be a good
pitcher; and his comrades are thereby reas
sured and the striker daunted. The catcher
is padded like an armchair, and must be able
to take punishment with the calm of a prize
fighter.
. All . these qualities were superbly dis
played in this match. We should not care
to say which was the better side, because,
frankly, we do not know. But the Navy
won by two to one, and appeared to deserve
its victory. Some of the catches in the long
field, or whatever the base ball "fan" calls
it, were enough to rouse a Gunn or a Bon
ner, those past heroes of the pavilion rails,
to emulation. The throwing was as near
perfection as the human arm can make it.
Those who saw base ball for the first time
must have agreed that a first-rate player is
worthy of his hire. ,
Many present yesterday made no secret
ovf their innocence. It may be that the prize
for hard work, had one been offered to the
whole assembly, would properly have gone
to the American officers who strove hard and
continuously to explain fine points to their
English companions, fair and otherwise.
These people, though often corrected, per
sisted in describing the pitcher . as the
"bowler," the catcher as the "wicket-keeper"
and the striker as the "batsman." But Amer
ican chivalry was very patient. It smiled
through every mistake, and never once
vaunted the ball game at the expense of
cricket For the credit of England it should
be added that the superiority of cricket, when
believed in as an article of faith, was most
courteously suppressed.
Nothinsr really dimmed the brilliance of
yesterday afternoon. Of good play there
was plenty, and it was admired by Americans
and Englishmen alike. As a spectacle the
game and the audience might strive for pre
eminence. Naval officers rubbed shoulders
with army othcers, tne unitorms ot the uni
ted States of America with those of the
United Kingdom. Admirals enjoyed them
selves with the lieht-heartedness of A.B.'s,
and private soldiers could hardly laugh more
delightedly than did generals. The Stars
and Stripes was worn or waved by every
man, woman and child, and there couia De
no doubt whatever that its adoption meant
a whole-hearted acceptance of America as a
comrade in play and a rear relation' in the
great work that lies before the two big Eng
lish-speaking families.
The Navy batted first, but it was not until
the fourth inning that a run was scored. Then
Ensign Fuller crossed the home plate through
a fine two-base hit by McNally. This suc
cess was greeted uproariously by the Navy's
rooters, and when ruller scored a second
run in the sixth inning making it two-love in
their favor the greetings were redoubled.
The pitching and fielding were brilliant, and
just when it looked as if the Army would be
beaten pointless, Tober made a fine two-base
hit in the ninth inning, and as Lafitte fol
lowed him with a "two-baser," it took Tober
home, and thus the Army registered their
single run in their last knock.
The pitching of Pennock, for the Navy,
and Lafitte, for the Army, was the feature
of the game, and these two players, who are
famous in the United States, worthily upheld
their reputations. Pennock "struck out" 14
batsmen, and Lafitte allowed only five scat
tered hits. The scores were:
Navy-O, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1. 0, 0, 0-2.
Army 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 11.
The "lineup" was as follows:
United States Navy Lee (right field),
Vannatter (third base), Hayes (second base),
McNally (first base), Egan (left field), Fier
res (shortstop), Maney (center field), Fuller
(catcher), and Pennock (pitcher).
United States Army Maender (left field),
Dorn (second base), Blackmoore (shortstop).
Tober (first base), Lafitte (pitcher), Bathol
emy (catcher), Rawlings (right field), Du-
blynn third base), and Mims (center held).

The Roosevelts In War
If the old Cuban fighting man has not
come himself, as he wanted to do, to take
his place in the midst of the combat, and,
according to his custom, in the hottest and
most perilous corner, it is because obstacles
more powerful than he have kept him in the
United States, where, moreover, he has not
ceased to serve by every means in his power
the cause to which he offered up with a full
heart those most dear to him. He has given
up his four sons, all of whom enlisted as
volunteers, all animated with the finest emu
lation of heroism, and inspired by all the
great thoughts with which paternal tradi
tion had surrounded them from birth.
One of them, the youngest, who had been
already mentioned in orders for a series of
incomparably brave deeds, has just fallen on
the field of honor. Another has been wound
ed. May the great soul of ex-President
Roosevelt find in this trial the consolation
and comfort which our brotherly friendship
sends to him. He knows, as he has often
said, better than anybody else, how fruitful
in benefits for generations which will come
after us and gather the harvest of our efforts
and our sacrifices is the beauty of freely of
fered sacrifice.
Those who have been heroes of the just
cause and martyrs to the ideal will "live for
ever in the memories of the centuries to
come and continue to exist through an un
ceasing resurrection which multiplies into
infinity the virtue of their acts. Thus will
live among us Capt. Quentin Roosevelt be
loved by his brothers in arms who witnessed
his exploits, honored by the sweet and ten
der homage of his own country, which
mourns over him with pride, and, enveloped
with the love of France, which has gathered
to herself his sacred remains and will watch
piously over his glorious tomb. Le Temps,

I ask you to restate the information
then imparted? MUSICAL.
Answer: The original query was as
to how many sons Mme. Schumann
Heink had in the service of the
United States and how many in the
German army; also her own national
ity. She is a native of Bohemia; her
first marriage was to Herr Heink, in
1882, three sons and a daughter being
born to the union. In 1893 she mar
ried Schumann, and again three sons
and a daughter were born to her.
Four of her sons are in the service
of the United States, two in the navy,
one in the coast artillery and one in
the field artillery. Her oldest son,
who did not. come from Germany to
America with his mother, was in com
mand of a German U-boat when last
heard from. The third son also re
mained In Germany, is not accounted
for, but very likely is in the service
of the kaiser. Mme. Schumann
Heink has sung at many of the army
cantonments during the last winter,
and is now understood to be employed
to go abroad to sing for the boys
"over there."

The stars of gold we aee at night
In heaven'a service flag of blue.
May be for those who gave their life
To save both me and you.
A barrage of clouds oft intervenes.
To hide them from our view.
But we know the stars of gold still ehtnt
In heaven's service flag ot blue.
If we cannot In our window
Have those stars of blue and gold.
In the service flag of heaven above.
See them within its fold.
As long as the earth remalneth.
Those stars of gold will ahlne
In the blue of heaven'a service flat
For your dear boy and mine. '
