What Press Censorship Means.
Experlpnrfi with the censorship exercised by
the forrlpn military news b
unobstructed freedom of press
dulgpd in the United States shi
contrast. Few people over here realize that no
news mesas;?, submitted for cable transmission
to this country has any assurance of getting
through, and that all letter and newspaper mall
is lisewlsfl subject to examination and suppres
sion. We might expect the Russians to go to
extremes In censorship, but It Is hardly believa
ble that they are more restrictive than the Brit
ish monitors, judging from an explanation of an
American correspondent In London of the need
lens difficulties put In his way. Complaining
for himself and his asRoclates against being
treated as hostile suspects, he continues:
We have asked) for but received no Information
of what la to be considered m matter that may not
be cabled to America. We have discovered by tha
costly process of experiment that neither matter
which appears In the lAjndon newspspers after
paaslnn the censor, nor even the official announce
ments of the press bureau, are necessarily available
for publication In America, both'belna; frequently
stopped altogether or mulllnted out of sit sense and
meaning. This we run only discover when the news
papers come over from Amerlta ant from Informa
tion from our American headquarters. A1I tha ordi
nary relations between client and merchant have
been stopped as between ourslvs and the various
cable rompnnies. We Cannot find out from the
companies whether our messages have been sent or
not. At an hour In the morning when It Is obvi
ously too latn for matter that Is not already on the
wire to be In time for publication, we cannot find
out whether any of our messages are still In hand
so that we may cancel or abbreviate them. Any
request for Information meets with the reply: "Our
office Is In the hands of the censor; we are not
allowed to answer any questions or give any Infor
mation. " One finds no more satisfaction In applying
to the censorship Itself.
The possibility of such an Intolerable condi
tion eontrhulng for any length of time In this
country, even In time of war, is hardly conceiva
ble. It Illustrates, however, what press censor
ship meaiift--military, Judicial or bureaucratic
and must strengthen belief In the American
doctrine that free speech and free.press are the
Jndlsppnsable cornerstones of free Institutions.

The Auditorium Question.
The Auditorium nestion bobs up again by
reason of the condition In the option for its
sale that the building be first offered to the
city at the price named,' which Is $40,000 less
than the purchase figure that was voted down
last spring. The Bee favored outright pur
chase by the city at that time, and believing
the property to have been a good buy for the
city then, of course would urge that it la a hot
ter buy now, notwithstanding the Injustice of
confiscating all the stockholders put into lt.
Whether, however, the voters would bo more
disposed to purchase whea again submitted at
the lower price Is, we admit problematical. We
frankly say we are in doubt about it, and more
doubtful1 than we would otherwise be because
of the unbalanced condition of the public mind
through the war's disturbing effect upon busi
ness and finance.
But the neo( of an Auditorium and conven
tion hall for Omaha is clear In fact, we can
not well do without it to meet engagements al
ready made for the next year or two. Wre
have suggested that a proposition be formu
lated by which the city may lease tho property
at a reasonable rental in addition to the taxes,
and repairs, coupled 'with a privilege to buy at
a fixed price within the period. If such a plan
Is feasible, its 'acceptance would permit sub
mission of bonds now or later, or more than
once, if desirable, and would at least bridge
over the emergency which confronts the city.
Senator Barton's Magnificent Work.
Hats off to the republican senate leaders
who scotched the fat rivers and harbors pork
barrel, Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio
and Senator William S. Kenyon of Iowa.
To Senator Burton, perhaps, is due the chief
credit, although In Senator Kenyon he had an
able lieutenant, with effective reinforcements
from Senator N'orrla of Nebraska and two or
three others of his colleagues.
Senator Burton's official term is about to ex
pire with the close of this congress, and he is
not standing for re-election, so his motives and
purposes cannot possibly be distorted or mis
construed. In fighting it out to a finish along
this line ha aimed at the vicious system which
he has been for years combatting, a grab-bag
game without limit. On the present bill his
victory saves to tho treasury assuming that it
is not upset in conference approximately $33,
000,000. But this saving Is only a starter be
rJause It stops a continuous loot every few years
that would soon mount Into the hundreds of
millions of dollars.
If Senator Burton saved one-tenth of thla
sum of money for any private corporation do
ing big business, he would have earned a life
pension of liberal dimensions, but serving only
the forgetful public he must be content with
passing expressions of gratitude and apprecia
tion, and what to him we know affords still
greater satisfaction, the consciousness of a duty
well done.
Legal gentlemen who have shown uncommon
solicitude for Harry K. Thaw need not be re
minded that he has just come into possession of
a bunch of $142,124 In Pittsburgh. The chances
are that the legal gentlemen greeted the bunch
with a few never-let go-llena.
If "Billy" Thompson succeeds in creating a
democratic peace; entente between our war
ring secretary of state and United States sena
tor, the president will keep him right on the
job In Washington as a professional pacificator
available for all emergencies.
Every school teacher on the permanent 1U?
In Omaha la supposed to have permanent em

How about stop-overs at Omaha on trans
continental tourist tickets to be used by people
going to and from the San Francisco exposi
tion? Whichever way the travelers are routed,'
Omaha ought to bo down as one of the halting
p'.aces.

Is It Time to Intervene
LYNCH, Neb., Sept. Zl To the Edi
tor of The Bee; To every thoughtful and
loyal American citizen In the times of
trouble must have come thoughts of ap
prehension of tho future welfare of this
nation. Overshadowing all other facts Is
the grim and ominous warning by Lord
Kitchener, that the war may last ihree
years or mors.
The European conflict was not entered
upon because of any great and mighty
principle, for which men might even re
joice to give up their lives, but ian be
looked upon as tha outcome of Intrigue
kindled by Jealousy and hatred, anl
waged solely for domination In Buropo
and perhaps In still wider fields.. A con
flict such as now engulfs the nations of
Europe la ao awful In Its possibilities,
that It Is simply too horrible to contem
plate. Therefore, let England beware.
England has already taken the fir it fatal
step. For In the awakening of the "two
sleeping monsters" of the Orient nd the
piobable alliance between RusmU and
Japan lies not only the present danger
to Great Britain, but the future welfare
of many nations Is also threatened.
Therefore, In view of the serious afcpect
ot tha present conflict, it appears that
the time has come for the neutral na
tions to Intervene. The United Htates
being the largest neutral power, might
lead. And let us hope this mighty ap
peal for peace may not bo unheeded, and
that the scourge of war may soon pass
away. M. M. KOHDE.
Preferential Voting; Next.
, OMAHA, Kept. 2.1.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Henatcr Dodge struck the keynote
when ho said the direct primary law
should be amended, where needed, by Its
friends, and not by Its foes. It took too
many years to upset tile old gang-controlled
convention system, with Its un
democratic actlo'n, ever to return to It
after Its discard.
People having taken another step in the
direction ot democracy will never sur
render It This suggestion is for those
Who now are planning to cripple the
direct primary system.
Twenty years ago, while quite a boy, I
aspired to tha legislature ot Kentucky.
At that time I had never even heard of
such a thing as a direct primary, but
that was one of the planks of my short
platform. Tha politicians gaped In
wonder that such an absurd proposition
should be made. They said to me,
"Whoever heard ot the people nominat
ing their own candidates?" I answered
them, "Whoever heard of the western
hemisphere before Columbus sailed the
unknown main?"
There are those, you know, who cannot
comprehend an Institution that has not
existed before. They seem to think every
thing always was Just as we ee It today.
Ona of the changes that must come In
direct voting, I believe, must be In the
direction of economy. If It were possible
to hold one election only, Instead of a
primary and an election, It would save a
great deal of time and money both to
the candidate and to the people. To ac
complish this I would suggest tha adop
tion of soma form of preferential voting
By this proceas only one election would
be nsceasary to complete the task of
chooalng public offlcera. Corrupt prac
tices would be Impossible, and It would
also be Impossible for a minority candi
date to be elected.' since a majority would
be required In each rase. That Is, who
ever succeeded In the conteat would be
either the first, scond or third choice of
all the voters.
This plan would prove economical all
around, far mors satisfactory to the
people as a whole, and further In the
direction of applying the principles of
true, democracy. l. j, QriNBY.
A Defense of Amhalaaet baser.
OMAHA, Sept. 12,-To. the Editor of
The Bee: At the meeting of the Ne
braska State Federation of Labor. I lis
tened to the plea of John Towle. presi
dent of the Nebraska Manufacturers' As
sociation, for the so-called woikmen's
compensation law, to be voted on at the
November election. Mr. Towle'a principal
argument for the law seemed to be that
It would save the laboring man from what
hs calls the "ambulance-chasing lawyers."
I have never heard an injured employe,
who had recovered damages through tho
aid of a lawyer, find any faint with his
attorney. Bo far as I have been able to
observe, it Is the negllgsnt employer ami
his attorney who call the Injured man's
attorney bad names.
An "ambulance-chasing lawyer." aa I
understand Mr. Towle, Is any attorney
who represents an Injured employe In
recovering damages from his employer.
The average attorney rl recover for the
Injured employe from U.. to fifteen times
as much as provided by the so-called
compensation law. And the Injured
man's attorney will give his client from
M to n per cent of the amount recovered.
Under the compensation law, the In
jured man may possibly get one-tenth of
what hs Is fairly entitled to. and he may
get one-tenth ot what he would probably
get at the present time by bringing suit,
while, under this so-called compensation
law, the negligent employer keeps the
other nine-tenths of what he ought to
give to the Injured employe. 1
I ara still In favor of the attorney who
la honestly working for his client and
procuring fair verdicts, and am not for
tha so-called compensation law.

What Means a Million Men?
Msanlftide nf a Camber,
A million men.
What does that mean? How msny are a million
men? Can the brain conceive of that number of hu
man entitles, all distinct and Individual, at one and
the same time?
We ssy the thing esslly enough "a millain men."
It needs only three words. We read them dally In
the account of the vast war now engulfing Europe.
Corresponded write of a German million or a French
million with the same ease aa they refer to a ship
load of passengers or a theater audience.
Can we srasp what an army of a million men
and there are several of them niw In the field
actually Is?
The New York World undertakes to show tho
magnitude of the number mohllized for war, the
problem of food, transportation, equipment, etc. Jf
Uncle Bam ever goes to war with his million men,
or ten millions, he will know Just where to turn for
his figures. The million can be visualized. They ca.i
be put right down In New York and compared, as it
were, with known landmarks. Here goes: i
The Various t nits.
The normal unit of an army Is a division.
Now this Is not an arbitrary designation, any moro
than Is a company or a battalion. There's a reason,
and a real one. Just as a company Is the largest
body over which one officer can have the supervision
of Individuals, so a battalion Is the largest unit to
which one officer can give commands by voice or
trumpet. And a division Is the largest force that can
be deployed into line of battle In one day, marching,
on ono road. '
It consists of three brigades, each of three regi
ments of Infantry; one regiment of cavalry, two regi
ments of field artillery, one battalion of engineers,
four ambulance companies and four field hospitals.
With It goes 'an ammunition train, a supply train
and a pack train. A major general commands a
division.
Down to the last man a complete division at war
strength humbers precisely 1J.850 souls; It might be
as high as 22.010 with auxiliary trcops; It could be
as little as Ifi.ooo as It would bn soon after the carnage
and disease of real war. Roughly, let us assume a
division at 10,000,
Now with this division go animals and vehicles
a lot of them. There are 3,166 mounts and 1,400 draft
horses; ft) mules for riding, S.212 for draft work and
403 for the pack train a grand aggregate of 8,265
animals of all kinds.
Then there are 48 guns and 144 caissons; 107 wagons
and carts for combat 1 (ammunition); 48 ambulances
and 6A2 wsgons for subsistence and forage. Here
ara 1,000 vehicles for these 20,000 men and S.268 animals!
And this is only one division!
Multiply r Fifty.
For a million men wc must multiply everything
by fifty animals, guns, wagons, and, the equipment
and food that go with them. This takes only the
simplest arithmetic. We find for our 1.000.0TO soldiers
there are needed 413,260 animals and 0,460 vehicles,
including cannon.
Some figures, eh?
Now we have this vast array of men. animals,
cannon and vehicles, and their supplies, and the order
comes
"Mobilize t New York!"
Railway trains are needed a tremendous lot tif
railway trains, too. Remember, all the equipment
must go on those trains horaes, mulea, guns, wagons,
food, forage, ammunition. Bo It takes a train for
one battaltcn of Infantry, a train for two troops ot
cavalry, a train for a single battery of artillery, a
train for a single battery of artillery or a pontoon
company of engineers.
There wduld be twenty-seven trains needed for tha
Infantry, twelve for the artillery, six for the cavalry
and four for the engineers of one division forty-nine
trains In all. When extra supplies and the medical
troops are figured and a train for headquarters of
the division, sixty trains would be a fair estimate for
one division at mobilisation time.
Transportation Problem.
For a million men, then 3.000 railway trains!
This Is assuming all were mobilized at ones, as
they were In France and Germany.
And what are 3.0C0 trains? Six of-them would be
a mile long. If all 3.000 were In one long train It
would reach from New York to Buffalo and sixty
miles 'more five hundred miles. Or from New York
to Washington and back. Six such trains In one
would reach from New York to California!
The million are mobilised. They are all in one big
camp how much ground?
gome city, Indeed!
' A reglmept of Infantry with all Its animals and
wagons needs nineteen acres; a cavalry regiment must
have sixty acres; an artillery regiment forty-eight
acres. A division needs 640 acres, or a square mile,
for all Its Infantry, cavalry, artillery and other troops.
Our New York camp for a million, men, then,
would occupy fifty square miles twice the also of
tho Island of Manhattan!
Food for a Million.
And now to feed this vast array of men and
animals?
The full day's ration for a man in the field weighs
4.4 pounds and .costs about thirty cents, including
everything. Item S.100,000 a day for food for one mil
lion soldiers now encamped on Manhattan Island and
oveflowlng to the Bronx and Brooklyn. This ts just
a little matter of S9.CO0.C0O a month! This food would
weigh 4,400,000 pounds-Just the food tor one day
or tona
, One box car's capac'ty Is 1,800 cubic feet.' This
will carry 9.172 rations food for one day for .172
men. Bo, for one million men, all waiting Impatiently
for thetr grub, it would take 100 freight cars every
day to bring along their rations five trains of twenty
one csrs each. And 'tis mind, only for twenty.four
hours!
And the forage for the animals is yet to come. A
horse needs 14 pounds of hay and 13 pounds of cats
a' day. A mule has 14 pounds of hay and nine of oats.
Striking an average of 25 pounds a day for each
animal, what a problem for fodder! There are 413,2(0
animals to be fed every day. Men can go without;
animals cannot. The horses and mules must havs
' 10,331,250 pounds of hay and feed every day. This will
fill 25S cars hay Is bulky, you see. If we add medi
cal supplies and countless other items there would
be 375 freight cars working every day to keep going
these million men and their beasts for Just twenty
four hours.
One railway car holds aa much aa 12 army wagons,
to transport food and fodder for 'a million men and
their animate would require 4.500 wagons Just for
one day's supply. Of course they could go nowhen
with thla trifling' transport. A division of an army
must carry food and forage for at least ten days or
two weeks. That means 43,000 wagons for ona million
men!
