The fellow from the east, who told
the Bee. that Omaha had the prettiest
girls cf any city he ever saw. He
was giving the Ilee a piece of fresh

the best looking girls in Xebraska
and .no doubt those he saw in Omaha
came direct from this city.

If the object is to keep General
Wood as far as possible from the war,
care should he taken not to move
him much farther west than the Pa
cific Coast. The world is round, you
know, and beyond a certain point the
distance again becomes shorter.
PATRIOTIC DOLLARS.
-:o:
Give according to your ability to
war funds, and continue to give. And
then save your receipts for all you
have given. Persons who withhold
support from the government now
will not hesitate to attack your rec
ord of loyalty after the war if they
see a chance to further their selfish
ends bj- so doing.
All the dollars in the world can
not buy victory. Victory is not pur
chasable it is won. Dollars can
work for victory only in so far as
they are converted into 'aho and
materials. A dollar hoarded is a
slacker; a dollar wasted is a traitor;
a dollar saved is a patriot, douhly so
when loaned to the Government.
A hoarded dollar represents idle
power; a wasted dollar represents
wasted power; a dollar saved rep
resents power saved, labor saved,
materials saved. Loaned to ycur
Government, it represents power, la
bor, and materials in action, on the
firing line, over the top. And nfore
it represents reserve power, energy
stored, purchasing power conserved
for its owner.
:o:-
THE ECONOMY OF VICTORY.
Xo matter v.-If at this war co.-ts the
Government and the people of the
United States in the way of money,
it is going to be much cheaper to
win this war than to lose it.
The commercial and financial loss
es that would follow a German vic
tory are not to be calculated. All
that we spent would be lo-t. indemni
ties beyond calculation would have to
bo paid, and along with these losses
would come a continuing loss in
foreign commerce that would spell
disaster.
With these material losses we
would lose our national liberty and
independence, our power to secure
our international rights, our right to
live in a world ruled by the dictates
of humanity and civilization.
-:o:-
HINDENBURG'S DEATH.
The Germans insist on making the
allies believe that Ihndenhurg is
dead, ft very now and then the re
port comes out from somewhere in
Germany that the mili'ary leader on
the western front will never lead,
another army.
Of course these reports are merely
rumors, and they should be received
as such. Just because a Get man
newspaper says the general is dead
does not make it so. The newspapers
in America as dispensers of news
must report what the Berlin press
says, but the newspapers never fail
to give the source of the informa
tion.
It is probable that the ;auer
would like for the allies, as well as
his own people, to think the mil i
tary chieftain dead. It would giw
him an excuse for failing in his wes
tern front drive. And there is even
a hare possibility that Iliiulenbir g is
dead, though few official circles be
lieve it.
The fact remains, however, thnt as
far as the Ilindenburg who was to
reach Paris on April 1 ks concerned,
he is dead. The much advertised
Prussian general has succumbed.
When he fails to reach a solitary ob
jective in the greatest and most
costlv of all German drivers, he has
passed to another world so far as
the allies are concerned. Lincoln

:o:
DREAMS COMING TRUE.
There is no doubt that the latest
request for the conserve 'on. of wheat
and flour to be continued until the
1st of August will be complied with
by American families. What they
have done in the last ten months
shows how men and women are bent
on doing all that is within their
power to win the war. It shows a
united people in a way that nothing
else could.
As the true proportions of last
year's wheat crop in this country be
gan to be apparent toward the close
of last summer, the most optimisJic
estimates of supplies available for
export to our allies did not exceed
20,000,000 to 40,000.000 bushels, but
so well has the matter of conserva
tion of supplies and of substitutes
been handled, that now, with returns
often months' exports of wheat and
flour available, we find that the
country actually shipped 110,000,
000 bushels.
The difference between the people
of the United States and the other
belligerent nations is this. Euro
pean nations cut down the consump
tion of wheat because there was no
wheat to be obtained beyond the ra
tion allowed, but America cut down
the ration when it had ?n abundance
of wheat to supply all its own de
mands so that it might be sent to the
rationed people cf other countries far
beyond the sea. There are many
American homes from which wheat
bread has practically disappeared for
months and it will not be restore!
until cur allies also can eat bread
with us. It is "all for each and each
for all," something that has been
dreamed of for many yo:?r-, but never
b e f o r e attaint-d . Wor 1 d-Herabl.

HELPING REBUILD EUROPE.
There is probably a lot of good
business method behind (he annnnr.e-c-il
plan to put samples of Arterifttn
wood on display in the rooms oi the
Royal Arfhitect ; in London. Ameri
can lumbermen are und' uhtodly !:t
uring on what they will have to de.
when the war end, and the j.ori-a-r.'-nt
exhibit of American bxiihling
material is likvly to be a eon cider
able step in ihrir prrgr:.m.
For England, no ls-5 than war
wasted Rcigium and I'r.ince, f? go
ing to have a lot of buHding to do
when she has time to turn again to
the ways of peate. Th" lack of new
houses is a tiling that is being ft It
pretty keenly on the other side they
will have to build whole cities
houses, factories, sheds and storage
places. The call for material ? like
ly to be heavy long continued.
In the case of England alone The
X.i;i:-ns business organ of tl r
('!; nvcr cf Commerce i f the United
?:atf5, lias compile! f-me interest
ing figures. That magazine says
that England's shortage in houses by
the end of 191 S will amount to about
:teo.e,no. Cning a little further, and
fkrurmg that each, of fh-se Inn'.1?,
when built, will he or. the cottage
pk:n livi..:r rorni. kitchen and three
bedrooms there will be required:
Fix billion brick.-.
Three million doors and frames.
Three hundred million roof tiles.
One hundred and twenty million
slates.
Almost twenty-four million square
feet e;f glass.
Two and a half million windows.
Uive hundred, thousand ton-, of
cement.
:i:x hundred thousand tons Vf
lime.
This b;;t one pert, and peihr.p
a small one. of the building program
which must be faced. America is
going to have some cat ehing-r.n of
her own to do, and she must be pre
pared to help the allies catch tu.. as
well. The fir:;t phase of the war, for
Aie.eriea. is going to consist largely
in battering down, hut when that
"art is over the second phase will he
only started and America can gain
new laurels by helping rehabilitate
the houses cf her friends. Philadel

THE' CALL -TO ; TOUR
calls for Polarine in the motor. When you want speed the
Polarine lubricated cylinder lets the piston slide rapidly up
and down without friction. And if you need power that
same thin film of Polarine seals the gas above the piston J
makes a giant out of your motor.
You can get Polarine wherever you go a thousand miles
from here. It's the safe oil to start with.
Look for the sign it identifies a good dealer and a depend-)
able oil.
