BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS.
The appeal for reading matter,
and particularly for books, to be sent
to the soldiers should bring a re
sponse from everybody who cares
for the soldiers. And in the selec
tion of books it is obvious that while
soldiers do not want to read encyclo
pedias, neither should they bedoscd
with the most insipid and worthless
of what falls in the general classifi
cation of "new fiction." There is
a good chance for people to exercise
the highest degree of intelligence in
this selection.
Speaking of this point, an excel
lent suggestion has been made by
that kindly scholar and veteran of
American letters, Dr. Rossiter John
son, lie deprecates the effort to
raise a huge sum of money to buy
new books for soldiers, at a moment
when the need for cash expenditure
for Red Cross work and other duties
is so pressing. He urges everybody
to make a selection from the home
library, not of the unavailable books,
but of the good ones, for this pur
pose. The books sent need not be the
newest nor the most costly, but if
they have been kept for some time
and in good condition they are apt
to be seasoned and of a quality
worth bestowing. For money, of
course, is the cheapest thing- you
can give anybody; but an old friend
of . book, with whom ybu have Jiv
ed, what finer destiny could be for
him, after he has given you so much
of benefit, than to pass him on to
somebody who, maybe, will find his
coming a thing too good to talk
about. There is no need to be senti
mental about thi3 idea, but it has
great merits. And if the sender
should write a line of friendly In
troduction on the flyleaf of each
book (and sign his name)1 it is more
than likely that the soldier receiv
ing it might be conscious of the grip
of a friendly hand. New York Eve

NEBRASKA'S MILI
TARY IDENTITY
From the sentimental standpoint
and from that of state pride it is
easy to sympathize with the concern,
shown by state authorities because
in the reorganization of the mili
tary forces of Uncle Sam some of the
state units had to lose their identity
and be absorbed in ether organiza
tions. ' But as it is In pursuance of a
plan deemed wise, if not imperative,
by the military experts, nobody is
justifiable in entering more than a
mild protest. Perhaps just ardent
enough to indicate his pride in his
home soldier organizations.
It is to General Pershing that wo
owe primarily the enlargement of
the army units. It was an exped
ient he deemed necessary after a
thorough study of actiial conditions
and actual necessities in the war
zone. If it did not manifestly pre
sent advantages General Pershing
would not have recommended the
reorganization. He was studying
how to conserve the safety of the
soldiers, and how to make them
most effective at the least expense
in blood and treasure.
Unless we here at home are ready
to imagine that he doesn't know his
business, we must accept his verdict
on that matter-as have the military
experts in and out of the American
war department.
Nebraska Is just as much in the
war under the reorganization as
when it had three regiments. Pos
sible, because of the increased effi
ciency of its soldiers under
the
changed plan, it may ultimately be
much more gloriously in the war.

LOYAL VETERANS INDIGNANT.
In tlie Congressional Record ap
of the Republic. Among other things
the resolution says:
"We think all the agitators that
are agitating any question that is-
against this government at this time
when we are in trouble are to be
classed with the followers of the
kaiser. They should be loaded onto
boats and shipped to the country
from which they came. If the sub
marines saw fit to sink them on the
high seas that would be something
that we would not be responsible
for. We know what we had to con
tend with for the four long years
when the copperheads at home were
stabbing us in the back. We knew
where to find rebels, but never knew
where to find the copperheads."
The veterans of post No. 67 have
hit the nail squarely on the head
The time has now come when those
who are not for the government are
against it. Those who are against
it are lending aid and comfort to
the kaiser. Such as these have no
place in the United States and the
practical way of disposing of them
would be, as suggested by the Minne
sota Grand Army men, deportation.
In this voyage to the land which
holds their sympathies they, would
be subject to the same dangers of
submarine attacks that all other
travelers upon the high seas com
batants, noncombatants, neutrals,
women and children must brave
under the German assumption of
authority over the universe, but if
misfortune befell them they would
learn at first hand of German cruel
ties. Washington fost.

If members of Congres3 would
forget they are republicans, demo

This is a funny world. Everyone
admires the woman who builds up
a home, but it is the sap-head with
