Ballots will win the nomination. If you do not feel like repeating the Angelus, Just say: "Thy will be done." At any rate, the Allies know the where abouts of a considerable store of ammunition that will never be fired at them. Captain Hupp has put Iowa high on the map. Veterans of Vicksburg may now take off their hats to the heroes of the Ourcq. Watch your car closely, and do not buy one unless the seller can give it a clear record, and yoa will help defeat the auto thieves. . For war that is to be without "indemnity or annexation," the Huns are having considerable trouble in deciding who is to have the swag. Thirty-seven automobile owners said "good morning, Judge," and so received a lesson in observing traffic regulations. This is one way of convicing them. : Mayor Smith says he puts the city's business above politics. Good) But what about those salaried nonpartisan appointees who are putting politics ahead of city business? The Omaha Junior Yellow is creating terrible havoc among the Germans. Since the big battle started two weeks ago, It has captured more than a million of them. If it keeps on, the crown prince will have no army left and the war will be over. Some one wants to test the aspirants for high office by a show-down of what each has done to help win the war. That would put out of the run ning all whose record shows they put obstacles Jn the wav of wtnnlnc the war. Come on with the records. I - The Coventry strikers are all back at work, and the British mills will keep right on turning out munitions. The upheaval did little harm, for It was over so soon, and it may have cleared up the atmosphere some. At any rate, it re lieved a lot of tension, and that helps. The good people of Shelton might with ad wantage read President Wilson's advice on the mob spirit Others may also well reflect on the poor judgment that finds its expression in daub ing yellow paint on store fronts. The cause of freedom is not advanced by such demonstrations. Home Problem of City Finance. Omahans do not need to go abroad in search of municipal problems in finance, for they have one at home that is worthy of their best atten tion. The secretary of the Board of Education reports an increase for the year in the deficiency budget of the city schools, the total now ap proximating half a million dollars. Moreover, the maximum levy allowed under the law will not produce sufficient revenue to carry the schools along, insuring an addition to the indebtedness. How the situation is to be met is not indicated. It was proposed a little while ago that the busi ness matters of the schools be placed in the con trol of a single agent, who should manage the affairs and be responsible for expenditures. Pro ponents of the plan believed, and gave reasons for that belief, that such a plan would result in economies more than justifying its adoption. It is plain that the growth of the city puts an in creasing burden on the schools, and that the cost of operating them will mount from year to year. But it is equally apparent that possible savings should be made, that the strictest economy should nrevail. all extravagances be eliminated and a policy adopted that will keep cost somewhere in mot ill i ii i if ir ii f if if i in iiiir liiiiiiii. mm linn an uu the school board. BETWEEN TURK AND HUN. Rumored friction between the Turk and the Hun over the division of spoils wrested from Russia and Roumania holds interesting possibili ties. An open break and a separate peace for Turkey would be a severe blow to Germany. This, though, seems too much to expect The diplomacy that won Turkey to support the kaiser's "Mitteleuropa" dream did its work well, and is not to be undone swiftly. While Turkey has been of tremendous service to the Central powers in the present war, it also has been splendidly rewarded in, prospect Vic tory for the Hun means the restoration of the Turk to control of much Christian territory, wrested from him in a long series of wars. The kaiser has pledged even to give back the Holy Land to the sultan's dominion. Armenia, Syria, the Russian Caucasian provinces and Egypt these are to be the reward to Islam, providing elusive Berlin thimblerigging and huggermugger ing does not swindle or Bulgarian cupidity and persistence seize, and thus disapopint the Turk of his full share of the plunder in event of vic tory for the kaiser. Von Kuehlmann has side stepped the dispute between Turkey and Bul garia, and the Turk is reported to have declared that he will deal with a free hand in the Cau casus, which implies also the Balkan region, and thus discloses a determination to dispute with Bulgaria. Consideration of all this, however, is merely academic. The practical point presented is that the army is under control of Germany, and while the Turkish government may rebel against dic tation from Berlin, the soldiers are not likely to follow the lead of the politicians. The affair will have to develop more fully before any advantage for our cause can be seen in it. Turkey's with drawal at this time would largely offset the col lapse of Russia, but such a thing is not yet brought to pass. America and Ireland. John Dillon's naive suggestion that the Irish question be referred to President Wilson must be considered 33 a final attempt at evasion. No seri ous objection may finally rest against the applica tion of the principle enunciated by Mr. Wilson, wholly subscribed to by the Entente Allies, but its operation must wait the outcome of the war. In the meantime all Americans would be pleased if the Irish could only adjourn their disputes among themselves to the extent of contributing of their man power to the winning of the war. America, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Bel gium, Portugal, Australia, Canada, the South African Union, India, Italy, Serbia a glorious company await the presence of Ireland on the battle line, and the Irish hold back, nursing a private grudge. When Erin's sons join the forces of freedom in the general struggle for lib erty they will be putting themselves in a much better light. "Cashing In" the Thrift Stamps. Disclosures from postoffice and banks indicate that locally a considerable resale of thrift stamps has occurred of late. What motive has inspired holders of these securities to dispose of them is not made plain. In many cases it is not the urge of want, or the necessity of business, for It has been the larger buyers who have "cashed in." One of the big banks reports that the average card presented for redemption contains about $22 of the stamps. From the postoffice it is giv en out that many of the $1,000 "limit" purchases have been taken up. Here is something wrong. At the outset, the "limit" sales were not in accordance with the spirit of the plan, which was to encourage thrift and promote a habit of saving among that class of citizens who could not reasonably be expected to buy Liberty bonds. These were to be given an opportunity to patri otically contribute to the expense of conducting the government in war times, and at the same time to have a sound, though small, investment. Redemption was made easy, that none might suf fer through possible adversity, yet the purchase implied an intention that almost amounted to a contract to allow the government the use of the money for five years. Those who are asking for their money back might almost be accused of "welshing" on Uncle Sam. Whatever the proposed inquiry may discover, the fact that it has been made necessary is far from creditable to the state. Purchasers of thrift stamps ought to be game and go through with the bargain they have made. The crown prince has paid the Yankee boys the highest compliment in his power, that of sending his best troops, fitted out with brand nev equipment, against the line held by the Ameri cans. And our lads treated them so well that most of them remained, while the rest returned to report that the errand was a dismal failure. How far the Germans had "penetrated" the United States is slowly being disclosed by the ef forts of the alien property administrator. Our overseas enemies may not find us so complaisant in the future as we were in the past. Excuses and explanations are being fed to the homefolks by the kaiser in lieu of victory, and the joke of it is the supermen continue to swallow the fiction provided, no matter how thin. Pooled Resources of Allies Giant Trade Agreement Shuts Out Central Powers A trade boycott of Germany, which must inevitably continue for some time after the war, even without further action on the part of the United States and the allies, is already organized. It was put into effect not for post-bellum purposes, but for the immediate purposes of the war. It will, however, be in existence after the war, perhaps for several years, until trade conditions among the na tions at war with Germany have become normal. When Lord Robert Cecil, the British un der secretary of state for foreign affairs, de clared a few days ago that an economic as sociation of 24 nations was in existence to fight Germany, the statement was interpreted in some quarters here as referring to the formel organization of a league, or partner ship, of rations, such as that outlined by President Wilson in his address to congress last December. So far as the State department here is in formed, there has been no specific organiza tion of such a league involving 24 nations. There is no formal trade agreement, unless one exists between England, France and Italy, according to the opinion of State de partment officials. The United States has not as yet entered into such a league, and is giving no consid eration to the proposal at this time, for the very reason that it is not necessary. All that can be accomplished by such a league is now in actual effect. The combination, which was made for war purposes, leaves Germany entirely outside, and it will be some time after the war is over before it will be possi ble to admit Germany to economic partner ship, even if it should be considered desir able to do so. I In other words, Germany will find itself under a practical boycott after peace comes, because such a boycott will be necessary until the allies have had time to adjust their own affairs. The resources of the allies and of the United States, it is pointed out here by State department officials, are already pooled. This applies to all raw materials, manufactured materials, food supplies, war munitions and the like. Such a pooling became necessary in order that allied demands might be properly met, so that each country should be able to obtain what it needed, so that there should be no inter-allied competition in the markets and no scrambling and bidding upon the part of one country to the detriment of an other. Allied purchases in the United States are carefully regulated and controlled by foreign representatives, working in conjunction with American officials. There is complete har mony of operation. In the matter of food, for instance, the needs of the United States and all other countries at war with Germany are reviewed, together with the prospective food supply, and then there is an apportion ing of the resources. So much wheat will be reserved for the United States, so much will be sent to England, so much to France, etc., and all will buy at the same price. Not only does this arrangement include countries actually at war with Germany, but the needs of South American countries are also taken into consideration. This system not only applies to food prod ucts, but to all other necessities of life. The allied and American supply of wool and cot ton is rationed by agreement and distributed according to the needs of each country or the amount that is available. Steel and metal products are regulated in the same manner. Possessing complete control over exports and imports, as well as of ships and rail roads, the allied countries are in a position to carry into effect a harmonious plan that takes intot consideration the necessities of each individual nation. All these things are already being done. In the United States the system is worked out in careful detail, so that there is co-operation not only between the foreign repre sentatives here, but between the war indus tries board, the food administration, the fuel administration, the war trade board, the rail road administration, the shipping board and other distinctively war branches of the gov ernment. Supplies of all kinds for Ameri can use and for the use of the allies are allot ted certain proportions of the available cargo space in ships. The railroads of the coun try carry so much for America and so much for the allies, the proportions being fixed ac cording to car capacity and relative needs. The whole aim of this great system is to prevent confusion and to see that each coun try at war with Germany gets a square deal. It is a gigantic piece of teamwork, put into effect with the idea of making the winning of the war a certainty. This war rationing plan, which has been in effect for many months and is being fur ther perfected all the time, of necessity brings the allied countries and the United States into extremely close trade relations. At the end of the war the agreement will continue in fleet so long as it may be neces sary. It cannot be ended abruptly, because economic conditions in all the countries con cerned must be allowed a period of readjust ment, until normal corditions can be re stored. It is entirely probable that for sev eral years after the war it will be necessary for the allied countries to keep the present system in operation and that in the inter change of resources they will require for themselves all available supplies, without leaving anything for nations on the outside. Out of this war agreement will undoubt edly grow a broader and more perfect trade compact, after the war, perhaps covering a definite period of years, to which there will be formal agreement by all the countries con cerned. No country will be permitted to en ter into this compact without the consent of the United States and of other allied nations. As to whether Germany will ultimately be admitted depends upon the kind of peace that conies, the kind of government that may then exist in Germany and the kind of trade policy that Germany intends to pursue. In the formation of any formal league of na tions for international trade purposes the United States will exercise a potent power, Washington Letter in Brooklyn Eagle. because of its extremely large resources and also because of the fact that its shipping facilities, by the end of the war, may be greater than those of any nation in the world. Meantime, there are other developments which will have a grave effect upon Ger many's attempt to restore its trade after the war, and which have nothing to do with any trade agreements that may or not be entered into. For a long time Germany held a practical monopoly in certain lines of enter prise. In the chemical industry, for instance it was a world leader. It was cheaper to buy from Germany than it was to attempt com petition. When Germany became isolated from the world, other countries were com pelled to look elsewhere for their chemical products. They were forced, of necessity, to develop their own resources, and they have done so. This has led to the establishment and development of great chemical enter prises that will continue after the war, so that a large part of Germany s trade in chem icals has been permanently lost to it. In this country, as an example, the dyestuff in dustry is being developed to a point where the United States will never again be wholly dependent upon a toreign nation for its re quirements. Potash is another example. Germany sun plied practically all the potash of the world and believed that it had a trade grip through that industry alone which would always give it a tremendous leverage. But in the United States enormous potash deposits have been located and are being developed. Germany can keep its potash, so far as this country is concerned. It is no distant day, in the opinion of well-informed authorities here when the United States will be selling potash instead of buying it. It has thus come about that, through the necessity ot an international rationing scheme for strictly war purposes, there has been laid the foundation for a post-bellum trade arrangement which may, for a long time, leave Germany entirely outside the pale. America and the allies are discovering, un der war pressure, that they can take care of each other's needs, and they are establishing new business relations and new routes of trade as a result. They are already in a giant combination, without organizing any formal league to put such a plan into effect. As the war continues their relations will become still closer. They have been compelled to reorganize and redistribute all the resources available to them, and the world trade map has already been adjusted in such a manner that Germany and the countries in alliance with it do not figure in the scheme. tees Indian Warwhoops on Front The Germans must thrill to the news that there are American Indians on the Marne front. An Associated Press dispatch, stating that they quickly adjusted themselves to the peculiar cunning of modern war, de scribes the consternation produced in some Germans by their scouting ability. When the United States declared war, Punch pictured the German movie-devotee's dream of the American army as a terrifying cohort of cow boys, chasing with lassoes and popping six shooters gasping German infantrymen. The dream of Teutonic recruits who have read Cooper or Parkman might now take on a more lurid cast. As a matter of fact, the American Indian, like the American cowboy, will perform his allotted work with all the equipment of modern warfare used according to the newest methods. Canadian Indians have already proved that their adaptability is as great as their courage. Those who are fighting under our flag might practice some thing resembling a warwhoop for the Ger mans' benefit, and may actually show an un usual instinct for silent work in no man's land; but their presence in France is evidence of the civilized oneness of the modern Indian with our general citizenship.

War has compelled John D. Rockefeller to engage new servants at his Pocantico Hills home. Several of his employes were drafted, several have enlisted. Mr. Rockefeller is en gaging negroes to replace his white ser vants. Rose Pastor Stokes, with ample leisure, be ing under sentence, is nominated by the so cialists for congress. Meyer London is a disappointment; he has turned fighter. The party has taken the one sure way of picking a candidate who will not fight. Some of the Germans are asking an indem nity of France amounting to $12,000,000,000 to be paid in merchandise, real loot that is more certain thin securities. This is the Hun idea of correcting the mistakes of 1871. It is galling to live fifty years astonished at one s moderation. The official count of the Billy Sunday bal lots at Chicago shows a total of 16,401 bona fide conversions and 14,344 reconsecrations of persons already in the fold. Forty creed preferences were tabulated, giving the Pres byterians the highest score, and classing 342 as "miscellaneous." Bellefonte, Pa., may justly lay claim to perhaps the most remarkable record of any town in the United States. Mrs. John A.

To the Editor of The Bee: The following facts with reference to the Angelus, recently en dorsed by the Rotary club, will doubt less interest many. The word "An gelus" does not refer to an occasion, but to a prayer used by those of the Roman Catholic faith. On July 6 a resolution was offered in the United States senate in which the word "An gelus" appears, calling on the people of the United States to unite In prayer at noon each day, the resolution hav ing been interpreted as meaning that the above prayer was to be used. July 6 fell on Saturday, and there was not a full attendance in the senate cham ber at the time. The resolution was passed, but has not advanced further, and it seems that the senators were not well informed as to the purport of the sanit. Objections have since been made from various parts of the country and members of the lower house have expressed themselves as being opposed to the idea. The objections made and the excep tions taken by legislators and others have not been introduced because of any opposition to prayer to God for guidance and aid in this war, but be cause this is a Christian country, wherein state religion is not recog nized and where each individual prays according to his own convictions. People are willing to pray, and do pray. Even though it might be said that the Angelus implies that each one shall pray as he sees fit, yet the fact remains that the word "Angelus" identifies the devotions with a partic ular faith. It would be manifestly wrong to have, the world believe now or hereafter that in times of stress this country has been invited by its government, or by any nonsectarian, nonpartisan organization, to pray a prayer adopted solely by those of a particular faith. The Constitution of the United States does not provide for state or public prayers any more than for state religion. It is not the purpose of this letter to reflect on any religious teaching. Those who pray the Aneglus have a perfect right to their view of it, and the law respects that right. It seems proper for the Rotary club to recog nize the principle of religious freedom and see that it is not made a party to anything which could be construed as a basts for sectarian differences at this time especially. "Zeal without knowledge" has led Into many pitfalls. The world stands aghast today in viewing the effects of the German government's policy of limiting the thought of its people to certain well defined channels approved by an au tocratic minority, thus holding these people to where they could be handled for other purposes. The world has also seen despair and failure fall upon every people upon whom governments have urged particular religious faith. In freeing the world from autocracy let us not be led into another snare to be subsequently freed from at a price too often paid before. Let us give to the Roman Catholics the credit for not wanting the prayers which are sacred to them to become the basis of argument and criticism which can result in no good. Let us permit each one to pray according to his own inclinations. Let us unitedly support our Christian government in what it has undertaken to do for hu manity. ROTARIAN. Answer to an Objector. Omaha, July 29. To the Editor of The Bee: I notice Rev. Mr. Savidge again endeavors to bring himself into public notice. I see he refuses to Join in with others in reciting the Angelus, as it is a Catholic prayer. The Catho lics are not at the back of this prayer, Mr. Savidge, so why bring them in? Have you ever seen a Catholic refuse to do his bit toward helping to win this war? Then why refuse to say this simple little prayer? It seems Mr. Savidge has to have something to kick' about, so let him take us. He states he does not pray to the Virgin Mary, as she is the handmaid of the Lord, but prays to God through Jesus Christ Why, reverend brother, Jesus Christ, as He is Mary's son? Why not pray to your God alone? It seems from the way Rev. Mr. Savidge con ducts his morning services here in his church his God must be awfully deaf, as we poor neighbors here have an aw ful time trying to save our hearing. If such Is his belief in prayer, nuff said. In our reciting the Angelus the Catholics are not asking it. It is a world-wide prayer. Mr. Savidge does not believe in sinners praying, but he sure does like to get them down here in his church and pray with them and help them back to the straight and narrow path. He seems very busy here every morning, Irom 8:30 until 10:30, with his noble assistants, chas ing devils out of some poor unfortu nate sinner. Mr. Savidge had better read his Bible again, as ho misstates his own statements, as I have heard him say several times. "Come to me all ye who are heavy laden and 1 snail give ye rest." So if the bootlegger and aii the rest of his so-called sinners can't ask God for forgiveness, what is to become of the wond, and why keep the churches, as the good don't need prayer, and surely these poor sinners do. So, Mr. Savidge, put your prejudice in your pocket and join the rest of the world, and if you don't approve of the Angelus, 6ay another one, but please stop hanging crepe on good causes.
