The Battle of 1922.
A the new year brings the promise of greater
trength to the cause of peace and concord be
tween the nations, so far as phyjical warfare is
concerned, so also it brings the certainty of an
intensification of the ' economic strife that lias
grown to be so bitter within the last generation.
Whatever it is, something is wrong, and until
the cause is found and removed, the struggle
will go on, gathering in force and increasing in
its virulence until the world will be prepared for
another debacle such as that through which we
passed between 1914 and 1922.
No accumulation of good intentions, no repe
tition of platitudes, or reiteration of formulas will
avert this. Only the exercise of good sense, the
recognition of certain fundamental principles,
moral as well as economic, will avert the disaster.
And this recognition is lacking at the moment.
Leaders of thought among the nations are not
seriously at work, striving to secure a settle
ment, but art feverishly endeavoring to gain an
advantage. That competition can not avail to
restore the world. The French demand for great
er naval and military strength, the Japanese ma
neuvers to secure a stronger hold on the Asiatic
mainland, Germany's apparent determination to
engulf all Europe under a smothering blanket of
irredeemable fiat money, all are signs pointing to
the 'same end.
Of all the nations, the United States alone is
able to stand out from the prevailing madness.
Such nations of Europe as are solvent are men
aced by the bankruptcy of those that are not Our
government can and will redeem all its promises.
The Hughes program was laid down in good
faith, 'and such of its provisions as finally are
agreed to will be observed in letter and in spirit
by the United States. Not only in this but in
other .ways are we striving o help. A bridge of
boats is forming to carry to starving Russia 20,
000,000 bushels of grain, only a small portion of
our surplus food stuffs, yet enough to feed hun
gry women and children, to aid the soviet gov
ernment to renew in some measure at least its
attempt to correct its mistakes and get the coun
try on a working basis once more. Trade op
portunities are . presented to all the European
peoples, but only on . sound conditions, and in
other ways we are useful'
The battle of 1922 will be fought in the coun
cils of nations, and only as they are willing to
mitigate their claims, discount their aspirations
and postpone their ambitions, will they make
progress towards recovery and draw away from
the disaster that now looms so big because of the
program they have adopted.
Disappointing to Democrats.
The move made by Governor McKelvie in
calling an extra session of the legislature has
apparently Irritated the Nebraska democrats
beyond endurance. Only on this ground can we
account for the steady fire of adverse criticism
that is being aimed at the plan from the opposi
tion. Having preceded the call for the legisla
ture by announcing that he is not seeking any
office, particularly not that of United States sen
ator, the governor disarmed any allegation that
he is trying to make political capital out of an
effort to relieve a distressing condition. Ne
braska's citizens, who are mainly fanners, find
themselves embarrassed on account of low prices.
Taxes are delinquent, and oppressive under the
circumstances. Governor McKelvie has under
taken to find a way to ' relieve this situation
to some extent. To carry out his plan he must
have the assistance of the legislature, for certain
laws will have to be repealed, and perhaps some
others passed. Because he has done this, every
democratic popgun in the state is blazing away
at him. It would have been fa better to let bad
go to worse, in order that next fall the unterrified
spellbinders might shout their denunciations of
republican incompetency. Whether the governor
anticipated this or not the effect of his action is
to rob the calamity shouters of one of their big
gest sources of inspiration.. The republicans are
trying to do something to help the state, and the
democrats are "not pleased; that is all the politics
in the incident.
Extending the Police Service.
As might have been expected, The Bee pro
posal that the efficiency of the service performed
by the Omaha police be extended by adding to
'the force sufficient men to permit the proper
patroling of residence districts is getting general
support. The necessity for this increase is ad
mitted, and public opinion in connection there
with is being well exhibited to the commis
sioner. The main question is from whence to
take the needed funds. A general cut in esti
mates will have to be made, but that is a matter
f course, for, conforming to long-established
tradition, preliminary estimates always allow for
liberal shrinkage. In this case a net reduction
will have to bt figured out ia some, is order that
the police force may be eupplisd with the needed
moocy. Property owners will be content if iu
some other department! economies tr practiced,
that the safety of the city's homes be made the
more secure by the habitual presence of pollce
mta la sections where today they art unseen.
Privacy in Funeral Services.
One of man's commonest traits Is to make a
public spectacle of his mourning when called
upon to sustain the death of a relative or friend.
Whether sincere or not, he displays emblems of
sorrow, assumes distinctive badges of grief, and
otherwise advertises to the world that he is or
was interested la the departed, and keenly feels
the loss. When one who has been prominent in
affairs, whether of community or nation, goes to
his long home, as in the days of Ecclesiasticus,
"the mourners go about the streets.'
Accustomed to the ostentation that follows
the body of a prominent cltixen to the tomb, the
public is naturally astonished at the rigid privacy
that marked the funeral of Boies Penrose. He
was a big figure in the popular eye, a character
of national importance, had done great public
service, had many friends and possibly some
enemies. That he should be burled under the re
ported conditions is in no sense a reflection on
hit memory or on the taste and judgment of his
relatives. It Is entirely within the bounds of
reason and decency that the public be excluded
from the sanctity of private grief.
However, Senator Penrose did not belong ex
clusively to his family, for the people of Penn
sylvania had some claim on him, having honored
him with their trust and commission on many
occasions; the people of the United States also
had an interest in him, and it would not have
been a violation of the family's rights if some
recognition had been made of the greater obliga
tion, and the public have been afforded an op
portunity to- testify iu sense of loss as it .had
been permitted to certify its appreciation of serv
ice while Boies Penrose lived.
Yet the dead statesman will rest as serenely
and be remembered as long as if the nation had
marched behind the hearse in mourning cortege,
but to the record of his public achievements will
be appended the curious account of how he was
laid away with such secrecy as will cause won
der for a time.
Where Children Grow Best.
Other things than corn grow tall in Iowa.
Children there exceed the average" height for
those of the same age in the country as a whole
by one-fifth of an inch, an investigation by the
children's bureau has shown. New York City
children are half an inch below the average
stature, while in California children averaged
two-fifths of an 'inch above normal. The ex
planation is offered that the presence in New
York of a large percentage of short races, such
as the Italian and Jewish, is responsible for its
standing, but the middle west, which considers
itself ably represented by Iowa, still will feel that
there is more opportunity to bring up strong,
healthy children here than in the crowded
metropolis. It is worth noting, however, that
the proportion of children whose parents were
born in the United States is 82.2 per cent in
Iowa, 62.4 per cent in California and only 22.?
per cent in New York City.
The average boy in the United States, 71
months old, is found to be 43.87 inches talf and
to weigh 41.60 pounds. , The boys are a little
taller and heavier than girls of the same age,
these averaging 43.52 inches and 40.56 pounds.
The examination of these groups in three
separate parts of the United States, while it
shows the advantages to be with the west, still,
has not shown any difference great enough to.
be disquieting. There is movement back and
forth throughout America, a thorough mixing,
and instead of anticipating increased differences
between the residents of one end of the country
and another, a gradual coming together may be
expected. Iowa probably will continue to pro
duce huskier children than the crowded cities
of the east, but many of them, as many of those
from California and all the rest of the west, wih
later go east, there to mix their sturdy qualities in
the general average, ' -
Will H. Hays and the Movies.
The Bee wants to go on record to the effect
that if the moving picture magnates have - suc
ceeded ia getting Postmaster General Hays to
take the position of executive head of that indus
try, they have picked a mighty good man. Mr.
Hays has made a record that is not likely to be
surpassed very soon. He took over the affairs
of the republican party in Indiana when the or
ganization was pretty well shot to pieces, and
put them in such fine working order that a great
victory was gained. Then he did a similar job
for the republican party on a national scale. Hav
ing thus proved his capacity, he was given the
task of rebuilding the service of the Postoffice
department, which Albert Sidney Burleson had
completely demoralized and- almost totally
wrecked. Nine months of his presence there
shows results in a restored morale, and extended
service and renewed confidence in the depart
ment by public and employes alike. If Will H.
Hays can do this, he surely is the man to get the
movie business straightened out. Some comment
might be indulged, though, on a state of affairs
that win permit a group of business men to out
bid the government for the services of a man of
his capacity. However, there is no likelihood of
the public ever paying a postmaster general
$150,000 a year, even if the business under his
management does amount to half a billion dollars,
and comes more closely home to the people who
pay for it than any of the other departments of
the federal government They will pay it, how
ever, if the movies get him.
A member of the city zoning commission in
Baltimore suggests that the municipality buy
tracts of land and develop home sites, collecting
any increase in value of the land for the general
good and the public treasury. This may be logi
cal, but it is at least somewhat in advance of the
times.
Returns are still coming in from the yuletide
gayety, but the death roll up to date resembles
that of the old-fashioned Fourth of July. A
crusade for a safe and sane Christmas is next
in order." '
The fanner has no reason to complain of lack
of advice or sympathy, if he can use either.
"Pill boxes" for the police will be all right
if they live up to the name.

Challenge to France
Submarine Incident Direct
Invitation for Declaration,
(From the New York Times.)
Lord Lee's suggestion that the French gov
ernment disavow and repudiate Captain Caitex's
commendation and sdvocaoy of the German
method of using submarines to sink merchant
men, by instructing the French delegation at the
conference to vote for Mr, Root's second resolu
tion, was a challenge that can not be evaded by
asserting that the French government accepts no
responsibility for Captain Castex's article in the
Revue Maritime. When It was published he was
chief of a naval staff bureau, and at the present
time he is chief of staff to the admiral of the
Second division iu the Mediterraneau. More
over, Captain Castex has just been appointed
principal lecturer to the senior officers' courses
tor 1922. The French government, as Admiral
De Bon says, can point to a statement on the
title page of the Revue Maritime that the ad
miralty and general staff disclaim responsibility
for the views of contributors, but the Revue Mari
time is a naval general staff publication: also, it
may be assumed that Captain Castex will feel
himself at liberty to inculcate his theories of sub
marine warfare when he lectures before his class
of senior officers.
In the remarks which Lord Lee made to the
conference on Friday last he showed by extracts
from Captain Castex's article that this French
staff officer affirmed that the Germans were "ab
solutely justified" in resorting to the "new form
of warfare." There could be no doubt of what
he meant, for he quoted with approval a descrip
tion by the late Admiral Aube of the tactics that
would be employed by the torpedoboat, which an
tedated the submarine, in sinking a liner: "In the
dead of night quickly, silently, it will send to
the abyss the liner, cargo, passengers and crew."
Captain Castex saw in the submarine a more ef
fective machine for stealthily sinking enemy
craft of all kinds than the torpedo boat, and his
article ended with this paragraph of exultation:
Thanks to the submarine, after many cen
turies of effort, thanks to the jngenuity of
man, the instrument, the system," the martin
gale is at hand which will overthrow for good
and all the naval power of the British empire.
Admiral von Tirpitz or General Bernhardt
never wrote anything more hostile to Great
Britain, or more vicious. Nevertheless, Captain
Castex has been selected by an admiralty that
must be familiar with his theories of naval war
fare to teach French officers the use of an arm
which the government wants to well supplied
with for "defense." It is not surprising that
Great Britain, after losinsr millions of merchant
marine tonnage and 20,000 sailors in the Ger
man U-boat campaign, should be suspicious and
alarmed when France, which enjoyed the protec
tion of the invincible British navy during the
war, demands of the conference a submarine
flotilla d'soroportionate to her capital ship quota
and 330.000 tons of auxiliary ships in addition.
Mr. Root's second proposal would forbid and
outlaw submarine operations against merchant
men. Submarines could still be used to attack
men-of-war from the ambush of the deep. Great
Britain would abolish submersible vessels alto
gether, but other nations represented at the con
ference want them retained. "One must not de
duce from abuses by Germany," said M. Sar
raut for the French delegation the other day,
"the idea that inevitably others would commit
the abuses." Lord Lee proved that .the "abuses
by Germany" had the approval of a French
naval staff officer who was a professor of tactics.
The disclosure put the French government on
the defensive. How could it reconcile its pro
fessions of humanity in warfare at sea-with oppo
sition to the Root proposal to make an end of
submarine operations against merchant ships?

"J Go On Forever
Every now and then, by a dead lift effort, re
fomers do get something reformed. Then they
fall intp each other's arms and sing "Laus Deo,
it is done," and forget all about it. The gang
ster and the profiteer continue business at the
old stand, and some years later the public finds J
that the, thing basn t been reformed at all. Lease
less vigilance is the price of reform. The re

year. , ' 1
If there was one thing which had been be
lieved to be satisfactorily reformed, it was the
tenement house evil in New York. From the time
when Dickefis described the Five Points to the
days when Henry George and Dr. McGlynn used
the tenement as the spearhead of all their lunges
at poverty, and to the time when Trinity church
served as the text for the excuse for columns on
columns of revelations, it was the city's dirtiest
shame, the one unansweable slur. Then it was
taken in hand in earnest, and so thoroughly
cleaned and washed and fumigated that New
York was everywhere spoken of as having taken
the lead in giving the poor a decent place to live.
The problem has been solved, in the minds of al
most all who thought about it, solved for years.
But the other day the New York World con
tained an interview with Dr. Annis S. Daniel,
chairman of the tenement house committee for
the Church Association for the improvement of
labor and attending physician for the tenement
house department of the New York Infirmary
for women and children, who, is about to make
a report on tenement conditions to the associa
tion. She has held these offices for seventeen
years, and she declares that in all those years
she has "never seen the tenements so crowded,
so much in want of repair or so dirty." She
gives horrifying specifications. Almost one seems
to be hearing a speech by Henry George or Dr.
McGlynn in 1887. The model, law-ruled tene
ments have fallen into the hands of the land
lords, and the landlords, once co-operative with
reformers, seek only the dollar at the expense of
human life. She goes into details about the ef
fect on morality which sound like the report of
some educational authority in Petrograd. Life,
health, chastity, even that small degree of com
fort that can be called tolerability all these have
fallen victims to a system that was supposed to
have given its last gasp seventeen years ago.

President Harding has one qualification for
his high office which appeals particularly to his
fellow countrymen and the existence of which
they could not have suspected from his earlier
career. He is fundamentally a good man; and
by good we mean something more than merely
well intentioned. He is good in a sense that ex
Presidents Roosevelt and Wilson, in spite of
their superiority to him in moral energy and in
tellectual ability, were not so good. He is not
an egotist. He is kind, patient, fair-minded, con
siderate and apparently disinterested. He pos
sesses not only a keen but an humble sense of
personal obligation to all his fellow citizens. He
wishes them to be happy. He hopes to make
them happy by faithfully considering their prob
lems, by listening to their proposals and griev
ances, by composing, if possible, their differences
and by leading them soothingly along the middle
of the road to some accessible and eligible goal.
Finally, while he is not yet an enlightened man,
he is by way of being flexible and open-minded.

his grave responsibility opened his eyes and
aroused his conscience. New Republic.

A SUPERMAN'S GLAND.
Napoleon Bonaparte was I feet S
Inches In height He was short and
pudgy, with oddly small, plump
hands, and hla hair was long,
straight and black, and his com
plexion was dark, but In spite of
that hla skin was thin, soft and
unusually smooth.
In his youth he was determined,
relentless, eold, calculating, re
morseless, courageous. His judg
ment was almost superhuman, his
Imagination wae vivid, but It was
always well under control.
He was eapablo of prolonged,
wearing effort, aeomed to require
comparatively little slaep. If ho
had emotions ho never permitted
hlmsalf to Indulge In them. Legand
said he had a multitude of Uvea, but
all were on a physical basis, and no
pamlon of other aort touched him.
Even at mat age ne was given to
such violent headaches and brain
etorms that many thought him an
epileptle.
The only other physical ailment of
the period was bladder trouble, a
complaint that annoyed him greatly
all his life, the basis for which no
physician was able to And.
This Napoleon reached his hey
day about the time of the battles of
Austerllti and Jena.
A different Napoleon was In evi
dence at Moscow, and thereafter the
change was proaresslve until death
closed the scene at St. Helena. Hla
Judgment, towards the lust, was
poor. His character of mind under
went a remarkable change.
He ceased to manifest any sexual
tendencies.
He died of cancer of the stomach
The autopsy showed a lot of fat in
the abdominal wall and around the
hips. He was stodgy and bellied.
His skin was fine and soft
And this is how Dr. Louis Ber
man interprets Napoleon from the
standpoint of bis ductless glands. AU
his life he was under the Influence
of a nland the pituitary.
When this gland ia driving things
the brain develops too much or too
little. The skeleton is too large or
too small; there is liable to be too
much fat around the abdomen and
the legs; the sex glands are apt to

Is "'oneness to manner trouble.
Napoleon's overdeveloped pltui
tary was responsible for his small
alse, his large head, prominent fore
head and firm under law.
He had headaches because his
large, hard working pituitary would
till up with blood and thus be
pinched by the bony cavity in which
it lay.
His judgment was 'fine and free
from the harmful Influence of emo
tions because it was the front of the
pituitary which was well developed,
He had firmly ' developed adrenal
glands. .
After Austerlits his pituitary be
gan to play out By the time of
his death it was worn out.
In consequence hie judgment bn
cams poor, his mind changed char
n.tfr, he became fat around the ab
domen and legs and he lost his sex
uality. That he held up as well a
he did was because nis adrenals and
hla thyriod did not play out as com
pletely as did hla pituitary.
Operation for Cross Eyes.

for Co-Ordinating
Citizenship Work
Committee With Represent

From Suggestion.
Plans (or the organization of a city
citizenship committee, were made at
the Chamber of commerce yesterday
noon when representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce and patriotic
and welfare organizations con
Orred.
Till the present time, citizenship
work has been earned on by the
various bodies individually, and their
efforts have overlapped, and some
phases of the work nave been
neglected because of a lack of co
ordination.
The present plan, suggested by Dr,
E. C Hcnrv. chairman of the citi
zenship committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, calls for a representative
from every club and organization iu
Omaha. ,
The main work of the organization
wil' be the proper instruction in the
history of the United States, lives
of patriots, the proper observance
of patriotic holidays and work among
new citizens.
The American Legion has taken
the lead in nationalization work so
far. There is now in preparation i
series of articles dealing with radi
cal governments, radical movements
and their leaders. These articles are
to be released from time to time
throua-hout the citv.
A meeting for final discussion of
organization plans has been called
by Dr. Henry to convene in iU days.
