Sane or Insane?
Germany in 3 Parts
Rothschild Tivilight.
Finance Is Worried.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Is the planet, now several hun
dred million years old, sane or in
sane? You are inclined to think it
hglf and half, as you read the
latest news.
There is a mutiny in Athens,
another# rebellion. Bombardment
by airplane will attend to the mu
tineers. Greece hasn’t had enough
trouble, apparently.
While Germany totters on the
brink of heaven knows what, Bel
gium solemnly prints a “Gray
Book” showing that Germany can
pay 3,000,000,000 gold marks a
year. Germany doesn’t even know
whether she can keep alive.
If Caesar came back he might
begin his new book, “All Germany
is divided into three parts.” That
is the program well under way.
Germany is to be chopped up into
| three parts—Prussia, with what
she can hold; a new Rhine repub
lic, and a new Catholic Germany
in the south, made up of Wurttem
burg and Bavaria. Germany will
lose three-quarters of her min
eral and manufacturing resources.
The iron of Lorraine and the coal
of the Ruhr will combine to build
up the wealth of the new Germany.
Doxens of its best cities, the
great ports of Hamburg and Bre
men will be lost to the German em
pire. Canals through France will
give South Germany access by
water to the Atlantic ocean and
the Mediterranean.
A new map is to be made for
Europe, and a new safety manu
factured for France. How long
that “safety” will last depends
on Russia, Turkey, England and a
few other things.
The splitting up of Germany,
especially the cutting off of Cath
olic South Germany from Protes
tant North Germany, is the plan
devised by Marshal Foch. It is an
ingenious plan, for if Germany can
be divided by the combined ha
treds of religion and civil war,
France, free from a German men
ace, may rule Europe for many
years.
Nathaniel Rothschild, English
head of the great money family,
is dead, a suicide. Nathaniel Roths
child chief interest was not money,
but science, particularly entomol
ogy. He collected fleas, from all
parts of the world—fleas from the
Arctic fox, from animals born at
the Equator.
His death is called the end of
the Rothschild money power. But
that faded some time since. Roths
child money is no longer powerful.
The interesting fad, important to
all races, is the inbreeding of the
Rothschilds. This suicide may be
one of its direct results. Nature
forbids inbreeding. Animals or
men that break that rule suffer.
The Rothschilds, to conserve
their fortune, have bred within
the Rothschild family as often as
possible. Not good for the family.
European exchange fell, badly
frightened by the splitting up of
Germany. That also frightened
Wall street. It didn’t seem that
things could get any worse in Eu
rope, but they can gat worse. And
they will. ,
German marks proved that there
ia a pit below the lowest pit, by
dropping to three cents a billion.
Yon could buy yesterday for three
cents German money that before
the war would have been worth
$250,000,000.
That is what you might sail a
teal drop.
That wasn’t all of it English,
French, Italian and Belgian money
also dropped. Conditions will be
worse when governments and
stock speculators realize, as they
will, that France is back of Ger
many'! splitting up.
High finance is practical rather
than patriotic. In the Ruhr it
agrees to exploit mines and fac
tories under the control of the
French.
Making money under the French
whip is better than not making
money at all.
The efficiency of German capi
tal is shown in Stinnes’ ability, in
spite of the atrophied mark, to
compete with Standard Oil. The
German money king’s oil lands
reach from Persia and the Black
Sea to Texas and the Argentine.
This is a small world and Stinnes'
mind is able evidently to grasp
the fact.
He is as much at home all over
the surface of the globe as the or
dinary individual in his own back
yard.

HUGE LOSS OF ITER PRIOR
TO MUD DEEUGE MYSTERY
AT BOARD INVESTIGATION
What Became of 116,180,000 Gallons Pumped Into Settling
Basins During June, July and August Is Question;
Failure to Wash Basins Blamed by Official
Investigator for Epidemic.
FIREWORKS EXPECTED WHEN KOUTSKY STARTS TO ASK QUESTIONS
What became of 116.180,000 gallons of water pumped Into settling basins at
Florence water plant during June, July and August of this year and which
is unaccounted for, according to the report of George T. Prince, investigating
engineer?
This problem is paramount among problems which claimed the at
tention of the board of inquiry Into Omaha’s muddy water epidemic when
It reconvened in the city council chamber at the city hall Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Prince’s report, submitted to the investigating committee yester
day afternoon, sets forth these figures, and also calls attention to the fact
that an open mud valve increased low service pumpage and made less water
available for basin washing and filling.
Failure on the part of employes*
at the Florence pumping station reg
ularly and systematically to wash
the basins during the period Imme
diately preceding the muddy water
epidemic of last August was given
by Mr. Frlnce as the cause of the
epidemic at the opening session of the
official Inquiry by the hoard In the
city council chamber Monday.
The hearing opened with W. J.
Coad, member of the board and chair
man of the investigating committee,
In charge.
Other members of the board pres
ent were Frank J. Burkley, Fred D
Wead, J. C. Dahlman, C. M. Wilhelm
and R. B. Howell.
The city council was represented
by Commissioners Joseph Koutsky
arid H. W. Dunn. Members of the
municipal affairs committee of the
Chamber of Commerce also were In
attendance.
Reports Are Read.
Reports submitted by Mr. Prince,
together with reports from R. B.
Howell, general manager of the Met
ropolitan Utilities district, and C. D
Robinson, engineer In charge of open
atlon, were read.
The Inquiry was resumed Tuesday
afternoon, and the fireworks were ex
pected to begin with the questioning
by Commissioner Joseph Koutsky,
chairman of the city council com
mittee In attendance, of water plant
engineers.
Others will have the same oppor
tunity, as Chairman Coad announced
that the Investigation will be on a
broad basis, and that "all the books
will be on the table and open.**
The reports read at the opening
session of the Inquiry offer an Inkling
of Interesting and probably animated
discussions today, and at the meet
ings to follow.
Hunt to Be Examined.
The report of T. P. Harmon, chief
engineer and assistant general man
ager, was not submitted Monday aft
ernoon. Among the wltnesiei who
will be examined during the bearing
la A. B. Hunt, super'- tendent of the
Florence pumping on and who
Is within the Jurisdiction of Mr. Rob
inson. In a statement given for pub
lication during the week of the water
emergency, Mr. Hunt asserted that
Improvements urged by him two years
ago were delayed by the general
manager.
It la known within tha circles of
ths utilities organisation that Mr.
Hunt It dealrlous of being examined,
that he may tell hie story of the
alleged delays of improvements.
The alleged delay In construction
work, as set forth by Mr. Prince In
his report, will be a matter of close
Inquiry, and also the alleged failure to
wash the basins with regularity, as
admitted by Mr. Robinson In hla re
port.
Obstructions found on two mud
valves of basin No. 2, damage to a
valve of the bypass around the same
basin and difficulty in operating the
mud valve of basin B also will be
gone Into with considerable detail dur
ing the forthcoming sessions.
New York
— Day by Day—
By o. o. McIntyre.
New York, Oet, 23.—This paean of
praise Is for. Just now, the most
talked about young man In New York.
He Is Joe Cook who came out Of
vaudeville to be a Broadway sensation.
He is the highest exponent of'hokum'’
the town has ever seen and the great
est laugh getter.
It Is easy for the man raised In a
small town to see at once that Joe
Cook arrived to fame by the way of
the backyard pin show. In fact his
performance Is a glorified presenta
tion of the circus that hundreds of
boys are giving in the barn each
year.
He has a winning boyishness—hun
dreds of young men who loolgllke him
are soda water clerks, undertaker's
assistants and delivery wagon drivers
in small towns. He walks the tight
wire, dances, plays the Jew's harp,
the saxophone. Juggles Indian clubs
and moves a rolling ball under his
feet.
All of these things he does Just
passably well. It Is his chatter and
absurd contrasts that give to his per
formance the unfathomed profundity
His costume may be ear muffs, a
straw hat, fur overcoat, sandaled sock
less feet and an umbrella.
These are exaggerations that bur
lesque exploited for years but it re
malned for this small town boy to lift
them into the realms of true art.
Outside of vaudeville audiences, no
body knew of Joe Cook a year ago.
Today he la as much of an Institution
as Weber and Fields.
His funniest moment to me Is when
he plays a saxophone solo. There Is
a dumb assistant who Is supposed to
hit the triangle at certain points In the
solo. The assistant Is In a chair
Over him Is rigged up a pile driver,
the weight being suspended directly
over his heed.
The contraption is aa ridiculous aa
one of Goldberg's cartoon Inventions.
When the time comes for the assist
ant to tap the triangle. Cook steps on
a lever, the mechanics of the contrap
tion go Into action and the huge
weight thumps the assistant on the
head. Tlngl goes the triangle, with
no show of emotion.
Nothing Cook does has any point.
His Imitation of the three Hawallans
winds up after a long tale that has
nothing to do with the matter, with
the announcement that because of the
incidents he relates he cannot tonight
Imitate three Hawallans. He promises
much and does little—and this de
lights New Tork.
Those who think of New York as
all sky-scrapers, honking motors and
rushing crowds might be disillusioned
now and then. It Is 7 o'clock In the
evening as I write. From my window
I can see a flock of pigeons In the
street. A man is lending a cow to the

Open Mud Valve Which Puts
Mystery Into Water Query
This shows the open mud valve referred to in the report of George T.
Prince, engineer commissioned by the board of directors of the Metropolitan
I'tiltles d'striet to make an investigation into the causes of Omaha's muddy
water epidemic last August.
It was partly due to this valve, according to the report, that Insufficient
wnter was supplied by low service pumps to permit regular washing and
filling of settling basins.
