"I cannot see that any damage has been done un less it be through withdrawing the attention of the senate from the very serious questions before it," Mr. Root replied. -:o: Some reactionary republican sen ators would have us and all the world besides believe that the only interest this country has in foreign nations is interest on American In vestments. And still they seem to forget that peace must precede pros perity, here and abroad; that we can not recover our trade with Eur ope until, with our help, Europe has re-established peaceful, permanent governments. No other color scheme requires so much explanation as a black eye. as Messrs. Dempsey and Willard can testify. :o: German recalcitrance toward the peace terms followed republican op position to the league of nations and the senatorial attack on Presi dent Wilson. These things may not have had the relation, but they cer tainly were in the order of cause and effect. :o: INVESTMENTS Public Service Corporation Paying 7 Can be had in amounts of $100 PAUL FITZGERALD, Investment Securities First National Bank Bid's, Omaha, Neb.

It is generally -conceded that the league of nations has little chance of succes without the participation of tho I'nited States. The partici pation must be with the approval of the senate. Is it within the bounds of possibility that the hostility of a few republicans, inspired by parti- sanism to one man, th? president, is going ta defeat the plan to end war? :o: THEY ARE ALL GOOD. All the press dsipatches and dope sheets we ever turned into copy never set forth yet that Christ was a esJeyite. Presbyterian. Campbellite, Episcopalian. Catholic. Baptist or Congregationalist. Ah wc get it, mostly from picking it out of the type care, he was all of them rolled into one. and it seems to us that that is what we all ought to be, a3 near as we can, for they are all good, and it takes all kinds of stones to build up the temple of the Lord. :o: TROOP MOVEMENT FIGURES. home arc placed in the hands of ex perts.

In ad dition two million officers and en listed men made railroad trips while on furlough. Approximately one million men also traveled to their homes from camps. The aggregate, therefore, was approximately seven and one-quarter millions. The average Journey of the troops carried on special trains during that ncriod was 6G0 miles. For other military passengers the length of the average trip is not available. As suming that the general average Journey was 500 miles, the seven and one-fourth millions of soldiers made approximately ,000.000 wassenjrer-miles. While the final figures for June are not yet avail able it is estimated that that the pa?senger-milcs of civilian passeug ers in the six-month period were sp oilt so early.
