A REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.
The republicans of this Second Nebraska dis
trict have an exceptional opportunity before them
to present to the voters a candidate for congress
in every way head and shoulders above our pres
ent democratic incumbent, conceded another nom
ination. by his party.
. The republican opportunity lies in the norai
nation of A W. Jefferis, more familiarly known
as "Big Jeff" in the days when he was on the
scrimmage line in the foot ball field, since when
he has also been constantly on the scrimmage
line for' his home town of Omaha, for Nebraska
and for the whole United States.
Jefferis is not only a big man physically,
but is also big of brain, big of heart, big of cour
age, big of patriotism. Jefferis has been right on
the war at every turn of the road. He has been
right on the big public questions. He would
make the right sort of a representative for us in
congress.
Jefferis has been a success in his chosen pro
fession of the law. All his interests are in
Omaha, whose interests he would" champion at
Washington with undivided xeaL
Jefferis in congress would be more than a
messenger boy for his constituents, for he would
exert an influence for whatever he favored or
went after through the force of his superior in
tellect and personality, which would be quickly
recognized and felt by all with whom he came
in eontact
We feel Confident the republicans of this dis
trict see their opportunity and will grasp it at the
primary, and that the voters, Regardless of party,
will then rally to Jefferis for the election.
Don't Forget the Regents.
Voters should not forget that two members
of the Board of Regents charged with the man
agement of our State university are to be chosen
this year. The names for regents will appear
upon the nonpartisan ballot, for which there have
been six filings, so two must be eliminated at tlffe
primary, leaving four for the (voters' selection in
November. ,
Without disparaging the fitnTss of the others,
The Bee wishes to emphasize the high qualifica
tions of two Frank W. Judson and John R.
Webstor, who combine business experience and
personal energy sure to be most helpful in the
conduct of this great educational institution.
Mr. Judson is head of a large jobbing concern,
with interests in. other successful business under
takings, all of which he has for the time set aside
to devote himself exclusively to the directorship
of the Red Cross work in this state.
Mr. Webster ie a lawyer and business man,
who hat been a leading factor in several big en
terprises for the upbuilding of this city and state.
Such good material is not always available for
purely honorary and unpaid positions requiring
real ability and much time as demanded from the
mversrty regents.
Mexican Oil and the World.
Sfnee the beginning of the war the British navy
hat depended almost exclusively on the Tsmplco
oil fields for its supply of fuel oil. Also, the
United States haa obtained a very considerable
share of its supply from the same source, our
importations from Mexico amounting to upwards
of 26,000,000 barrels for 1917. The wells there are
largely English-owned. This gives a correct an
gle from which to view the action of the Mexican
government in levying onerous' taxes on the oil
industry.
The reply to the diplomatic protest of Great
Britain, just sent out from Mexico City, reads
like some of the communications the same gang
of clever word-spinhera used to send to Wash
ington. It is deftly worded, and read casually
gives the impression that Mexico is interested
chiefly in upholding Its self-respect, all the while
maintaining the most cordial refations with the
outside world. To get its real meaning we must
Consider it in the light of the attitude of Car
rtnza towarda the rest of the world. He has
been notoriously pro-German, and quite openly
anti-British, and not especially friendly to the
United Statea in( all his acts. If he can cripple
the oil industry, or extort a heavy revenue from
it by levying exorbitant tax rates, he will do so.
In this way lie can serve the kaiser better than
by open hostility.
Representations from Washington, aimilar in
tone to those from Great Britain, have beehaent
to Mexico City, and kjs reasonable to surmise
that the reply directed to Xing George may also
be accepted as Intended for President Wilson.
Neither of these desires to interfere with Mex
ico'! internal regulations, but the external rela
tions of that unhappy . country, are aubject to
some review by powers most affected.
Just at present any form of embargo on Mex
ican oil, It equivalent to an unneutral act, and
might eventually bring serious consequence! for
Mexico to face. Carrania probably recks Iittle4
of this, but the time when hi! irresponsible gov
ernment wilt be called to account cannot be put
off forever. 1 v
Humiliate Old Glory F Never!
Gen. Omar Bundyjn the Spotlight of the Marne
Brooklyn Eagle.
Who is the new American military hero?
Who is the general who started the present
victorious offensive against the Germans?
Who is the man who practically disobeyed
orders from his French superiors, in initia
ting the attack which spread like a orairie
fire through the French troops on either side
which resulted in the capture of thousands
of German prisoners and hundreds of Ger
man guns which aent the last "Fritz" scur
rying across the Marne, and tured the threat
ened German advance on Paris irTTo a disas
trous defeat?
Ever since 'the famous message, begin
ning:
"We regret being unable to follow the
counsel of our masters, the French" the
identity of the writer of the message has
been a mystery the American people have
been trying to solve. The news yesterday
that Brigadier General Omar Bundy, veteran
of the Philippine and Mexican campaigns,
now in France, is to be given command of
an entire army corps, lifts the curtain.
The story of how he was almost court'
martialed for going against the advice of the
trench command instead of promoted for
his dash and darfcg, is one of the great stor
ies of the war.
On July IS General Bundy wae in com-
mana o. vmcrican rorces near naieau
Thierry. Early in the morning, when the
Germans thought the French "would be heavy
from the effect! of the celebration of Bastile
day, the crown prince opened the attack.
Preceded by gat and high explosive bom
bardment, the German shock troops came on.
By sheer weight of numbers and intensity of
fire they gained ground. The world was
prepared to see the Germans drive ahead in
one of the gruelling series of battering-ram
blows that nave again and again bent the
never-breaking allied line.
Then something happened.
The French had been through German
grand offensives again and again; they had
come to look at German gains with a philo
sophical eye provided the Germans were
made to pay dearly for those gains. But
there was in the territory attacked an Amer
ican officer, General Bundy. the fire of whose
nature had not been dimmed by four years of
wearying- struggle. He had fresh, eager
troops at his command and to him the bend
ing of the line under the German blows was
new.
His fresh young American fighters. SDoil-
ing for a real "go" at Fritzy, were retreating
to maintain their lines even with those of
the French. But they didn'flike it a little
bit, nor did their :ommander. Then, some
time during that first day came the famous
message: '
We regret beinsr unable to follow the
counsels of our toasters, the French, but the
American flag has been compelled to retire.
This is unendurable, and none of our soldiers
would understand not being asked to do
whatever is necessary to re-establish a situa
tion which is humiliating to us and unac
ceotable to our country s honor, we are
going to counter-attack."
And he did counter-attack, with the re
suits that all the world knows.
General Bundy is 57 years old. He was
born in Indiana June 17, 1861. At the age
nf 18 he secured his appointment to West
Point and four years later was made a sec
ond lieutenant and assigned to the Second
United States infantry.
His was not a meteoric rise in his early
years. In the old days of Indian file promo
tion officers had to wait for each other to die
before they could go ahead. And Bundy
remained a lieutenant for 15 long years, from
1883 to 1898.
, The period was not entirely uneventful
however not entirely. In May, 1884, he
was transferred from the Second infantry to
tlje Third infantry. And in May, 1890, he
was promoted from a second lieutenancy to
a first lieutenancy.
With the beginning of the Spanish-Amer
ican war, in 1898, Bundy got his first real
chance. He was made a captain, and then
a major. i
The Philippines campaign found him in
the islands on the other side of the world,
under General Leonard Wood. The Moros
were giving al lsorts of trouble. A thousand
of them had fortified the crater of an ex
tinct volcano, Mount Dajo, and were issuing
defiances of the white men that threatened!
to throw the whole island of Mindanao into
an uprising.
General Wood selected Major Bundy aa
one of two officers to clean the volcano out
The fight was one of the hardest of the Phil
ippines campaign, and the American losses
were very heavy. Fully half the men of one
company were casualties and in another 52
per cent of the men fell. But the American
troops won, and the stroke was one of the
most telling in restoring order to the island.
Major Bundy came back to the States
in I9U0. until the summer ot lw tie was
stationed at Fort William Harrison, Helena,
Mont. In July, 1908, he was made inspector
general, with headquarters at Omaha. In
1911 he was made lieutenant colonel of the
Eleventh infantry, and in 1912 he went to the
War college at Washington.
In 1914 he was assigned to the command
of, the Sixteenth infantry as colonel. The
Sixteenth was in General Fershmg s brigade
and it was here that the two officers first
worked together.
When the Mexican trouble began more
active service was given to Bundy. On Oc
tober, 1915, he was detailed as inspector gen
eral at San Antonio, Tex., and he did heavy
adminitstratlve work for the Pershing expe
dition into Mexico. '
With America't entrance into the great
war he was made a brigadier general and
sent to France.

water, moisten the hair with some of the
eolation, and while yet damp, rinse the hair
in tepid alum water two heaping teaspoons
of powdered alum to one quart), the rinse

Most soaps and prepared sham-
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp f
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's -very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with watei
and rub it jn, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly, evenly,
and is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Be
sides, it loosens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
