Rebuilding After the War.
American lumber Interests are already an

be made upon them aa a result of the war. And
perhaps every other building material Interest
In doing the same thing, for when the war ends
and the work of reconstruction begins, the de
mands will fall tremendously upon all alike. It
will be utterly Impossible for the desolated
countries to supply the needs of building ma
terial without coming to us. The paralyzing
effect of war perhaps will be felt nowhere mors
than in this line of business. It stands to rea
son that the end of the war will bring an In
sistent cry for as quick recovery as possible
along all lines, but the prlmest need of all, next
to food and clothing, will be that of rebuilding.
Homes, houses of business, pleasure and cul
ture have been and will yet be destroyed In
numbers and areas staggering to our compre
hension. Surveying ss best we can this awful
sweep of desolation suggests sonyi Idea of the
work of rehabilitation, which will take lots of
time as well as money and material.
Naturally, this demand will be reflected in
further flurries of domestic prices for building
materials the same aa other commodities. We
of the United States, therefore, who, experts
agree, are to share extensively in the resultant
advantages of a quickened commerce and In
dustry, must also prepare ourselves for some
such disadvantages as will come in advanced
prices along those lines. The net result, how
ever, will undoubtedly be In' our favor. And,
sentimentally, as the. war Mas given us the dis
tinction of being the, great neutral nation and
purveyor of peace proposals, so It will afford ua
the. opportunity for this other tangible work of
construction. ' '
' " fiew YorVa t"irit Trimary.
' Governor Glynn's 'overwhelming renomlna
tlon against the anti-Tammany candidate, John
A. Hennessey, and District Attorney Whitman's
easy defeat of both Hlnman and Hedges for the
republican nomination for governor show that
New York's first state-wide primary election is
decidedly in favor of the organization forces.
This is further emphasized by the marked vic
tory of James W. Gerard over Franklin D.
Roosevelt for the democratic senatorial nom
ination, for Gerard ' bad the backing of the
Tammany crowd. Evidently, while "the old
order-changeth" many things, Tammany can
adapt Itself to the exigencies of the direct pri
mary as well as its enemies. Mr, Hennessey, an
able and vigorous fighter, made sweeping claims
of what he proposed doing to the old gang and
back of bis claims was the record of six Tam
many Indictments and six Tammany convictions
and Imprisonments for official graft, yet the
democrats of New York eloct to reward, Tam
many Instead of Its prosecutor.
Interest in the Gerard-Roosevelt race cen
tered In the fact that both are attaches of the
Wilson administration, the former the ambassa
dor to Germany, the other assistant secretary of
the navy, .one supported and the other opposed
by Boss Murphy. Mr. Whitman's great victory
will" serve. to recall the fierce attack made upon
him by Colonel Roosevelt. SMlser's close race
for1 the progressive gubernatorial nomination is
only another illustration of his success in cash
ing In political buncombe) 'at ''the polls?" ' Just
what special popular triumph has been achieved
in this initial state-wide primary tor New Yorki

"Tho church .does not know bow to fight to
win," declares the Rev. Harry G. Rogers, D. D.,
prominent Kansas City preacher. "It does
not shoot to hit. It the church would fight with
the same spirit and the same desperate methods
aa the soldier who last week saved a fleldplece
when all bis comrades were dead 'around him,
by loading it onto bis shoulder and walking
back into his own lines If the church would
fight that way It would be fighting to win and
would win."
It promises much tor the church's success.
however, to. have alert leaders on the firing line
as conscious .of. Us faults as Us virtues. One
essential to the success of an army, coupled with
able leadership, Is adequate equipment. Large
forces without-proper munitions, will do little.
Doubtless Dr. Rogers and other ministers would
agree that the same thing applies to the church,
and that Us equipment rousl be "the whole
armor of God," in which the soldier, Paul,
fought so valiantly. " Eloquent preaching, .im
pressive music, well-phrased professions, pink-
tea socfals, even costly and imposing edifices
and great conferences and assemblies, though
good In their places, will not of themselves put
the punch In the church. This old "ambassador
in bonds," who spoke boldly "the mystery of the
gospel," risked nothing short of his "loins girt
about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness; feet shod with the prepara
tlon of the gospel of peace; above all taking the
shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the spirit, which is the word of God."
Lack of preparation Is said to have humbled
the mighty czar before little Japan. t has cost
other nations much In war. It Is a terrible
thing for an enemy to be able to pick out the
weak . and vulnerable spots In the opposing
ranks.. Unpreparedness within the ranks re
suiting from Indifference, timidity or unfaith
fulness, Is doubtless what troubles these alert
leaders of the church.
The "pork barrel bill," which republican
fUUbusterers cut In the senate from f (3,000.000
to f 20,000,000, goes back to the house with a
bandage generating as much pain as the original
operation.' . The appropriation is a lump sum to
b expended upon the recommendation of the
chief of army engineers, not among specified
projects, but "for the , preservation and main
tenancs of existing river and narbor works, and
for the prosecution of such project' heretofore
authorised as may be desirable In the Interests
of commerce and navigation.". Can the "patriotic
economlata" of the democratic house be made to
stand for it?.
The recommendation of the committee repre
senting the various civic organisations favor the
submission of an Auditorium bond proposition
calling for $160,000. and no more. The $160,000
would meet the purchase price, but would not
supply one cent for the betterments which we
were before told were absolutely necessary to
adapt the building to the desired use. Whatever
Is done, this point should be understood so that
we may have no comeback later.

OMAHA. Sept. .-To the Editor of
The Bee: In a recent edition of Th-i Bee
one D. C. John writes: "No time to

peace? Evidently he wants more war.
more slaying of his fellow men of what
ever nationality, more destruction, more
hell on earth." However, his wish, sp-
parently. Is for the destruction of Ger
many and Dei-mans only: and he says,
the sympathy of the world la with the
allies and against the kaiser." Tea, sym
pathy, but manufactured sympathy.
The truth will be known and will ba
recorded by the future historian. I am
no friend of monarchlal government, nor
ere my ancestors befora me, but truth
Is truth, and the truth Is, that no mon
arch, living or dead, has come anywhere
near having the great qualities of the
German kaiser. He has been a great
leader of the German people for twenty
six years of peace. Ills greatest wish,
time and time again expressed, has been
for peace. Then why this perversion of
the truth? Why always the German
kaiser when It Is the Germanle nations
thst are at war?
Many letters from Germany convince
me that this war waa not sought nor
expected by Germany, and If facta will
prove anything the fact that two of its
fastest men-of-war, and the fastest In
the world, were bottled trp In the Med
iterranean aea, tha emperor upon a va
cation on tha coast of Norway, is con
vincing. If these same men-of-war were
upon the Atlantic no other would be
safe, for they could taka their time and
opportunity with tha merchantmen and
with Inferior men-of-war,, and from tha
more powerful they could run away.
Then would a captain of Industry or any
other man be away from home when he
expected that his neighbors would set his
store or house. on fire, and most surely
ha would be at home If he knew It be
forehand, as Is charged against the Ger
man emperor. Truly facts do not bear
out this dastardly charge.
The allies may be. able to starve, but
they will ' never conquer Qermany.

Sympathy and Condemnation.
OMAHA, Sept. . To the Editor of
Tha Bee: Nobody blames tha Germane
In America for taking' sides with tha
kaiser and tha military party of the father
land during the present crisis. Mr. Meyer
msy sympathise with Ioeland or Prussia,
just as he prefers, and we Americana
will not oppose him, but whan the Ger
mans In America attempt to denounce
any and all who do not sympathize with
Germany and Austria-Hungary, they are
Inviting criticism.
To begin with, the Germans In America
are the loudest In expressing themselves.
Their newspapers tha German press
are even digging up scandals that took
place years ago right here la America-
political eruptions and graft cases that
we Americana condemned. They are
making little of our country, They are
discourteous to - tha land that haa given
them bread. They are wilfully Ignoring
President Wilson's proclamation of neu
trality. ' . , - .
Tha "Illinois Rtaata Zettung." a Ger
man sheet- published i In Chicago, haa
stirred up a hornet's heat ' by slurring
America and such tactics aa these can.
only increase tha anti-German -feeling
that haa swept America from coast to
coast. . , . ......
We Americans don't sympathise with
anyone excepting, perhaps, Belgium, be
cause tha cam of Belgium stands eut aa
a heroic example of a people fighting for
home and freedom. We wQl ba Invited
to take a hand la settling matters when
the war Is over and we certainly will
see to It that Belgium Is recompensed,"
dollar for dollar and Ufa for life. The as
sault on Belgium was like a thief In tha
night striking down the victim he In
tended to rob.
A referendum of any of the nations now
engaged in tha war would find the com
mon people In favor of peace and against
tha war. We Americans are neutral, but
when the Germans In America start
throwing mud wo win 'make our eym-
patniea known which ail the Spaders and
Meyers In Germany and America will
ba unable to change. Wa Americans
sympathise with the German people, al
though wa can only condemn the system
that haa been their undoing.

Wants to Massle Spader,
OMAHA. Sept. . To the Editor of
The Bee: Referring to an article In your
paper by Matt Spader, under date of
September B, permit me to say. as I did
a few daya ago. but which letter you
have refused to print, that a muxxle
should ba put on this man Spader, and
the sooner tha better. He la not at all
alow about calling D. c. John and othera
who have contributed articles to your
letter boa, darn fools for no reason ex
cept that they have stated their opinion
about Germany and his beloved kslser.
As they do not coincide with his views,
consequently they must ba darn fools.
However, after reading all such articles
printed since this war started, Spader's
articles have been the only ones which
sounded to ma as If a darn fool was the
author. '
Tha trouble with Spader Is. Instead of
fighting for , hla country, and he Is a
German, for ho admits same, when ha
aaya, "We Germans don't blame France,
etc.," he ataya here and writes this rot

How comes it that the Rtisslsn army. In many

space of time, to mobilise so msny million men and
to carry them with splendid vigor across the frontiers
deep into Prussia and Oallria?
The miracle has been ptipglbl because Russia
really took to heart the bitter lessons of the Japsncse
wsr, snd bersuse from the emperor down to the last
recruit they set themselves diligently to conquer their
faults.
General Vladimir Pukhomlinoff, whom the czar
chose Jn 1909 to supersede the stately Incompetents
at tha Pt. Petersburg war office, haa done marvels be
cause he possesses three splendid qualities. First, be
cause he Is a thoroughly practical soldier a cavalry
commander, straight as a Isnce, who. In the stations
all along the border of Germany, haa seen with his
own eyes the problems to be solved: second, becsus
he hss had the courage to look the facts In the fsce
and the energy to burn up the lumber In the Russian
army system; and third, because ha has a genius ftir
organisation that makes them csll him "the Kitch
ener of Russia."
skins ( aa Army.
Minister of War Bukhomllnoff began his house
cleaning at the top, with a thorough shake-up of the
Russian generals.
The fat old apples tumbled from the branches and
gave the promising young fruit a chsnce. First, by
increasing the pensions for the old men, and so In
ducing them to retire quietly, and second, through a
competent committee on promotions, who follow up
the doings of the younger men, watching especially
how they handle their troops at maneuvers, ha haa
act the blood circulating through te wole body of Rus
sian officers. He has put a premium on vigor, energy
and genius. Having got his officers going, he haa
next insured that they shall have a high technical
knowledge of their profession.
. In the old days "before the war," the staff acad
emy gave a special training to a small, picked body
of men belonging to the general staff. Bukhomllnoff
threw Its doors open to all offlcera, whether they be
longed to the ataff or not, and then he made Ita
coursea more definitely practical. He added a new
experimental laboratory, where explosives, war ma
terial, guns, equipment, can ba tried out practically
by experta.
Early In tha day he heard tha hum of airships
and gave ear to It. with the reault that for the last
four or five yeara Russia has been manufacturing her
own aeroplanes and training a large ataff of offlcera
to use them.
At tha siege of Lemberg, we saw tha result. The
Russian aeroplana, admirably handled, hovered over
tha fortresses and guided Russla'a guns agalnat the
Austrian batteries. 8ukhomllnoff has also developed
a special company of military automobiles ' and a'
school of railroads to tackle and master the mobiliza
tion problem. (It Is In these particulara that Germany
excela.) And that la ono reason why the Russians
were able to get across the frontier three or four
weeks befora the Germans were ready for them.
From the generals, Bukhomllnoff turned to tM
privates, the men In the ranks those stalwart Rus
sian soldiers who bear all things and dare all things
with equal valor and devotion. The problem waa, with
a population of 170.000,000 to draw on, how to turn tha
greatest number into soldiers In tha shortest . time.
Bukhomllnoff reduced tha term of service to three
yeara.
Thua there are In time of peace 1, 260,000 men with
the colore going through a three years' training fine,
stalwart young fellows from 20 to 23-who, from
slouching peasants are turned into athletes, working
together Ilka a splendid, animated machine, and full
of soldierly discipline and ambition.
The Tiger of Cavalry.
. One of the beat of these Is General Paul Rennen
kampf. Ilka .the war minister a general of cavalry,
and who. It may be remembered, put such terror Into
tha hearts of the Boxers In 1900 that they called him
"tha Russian Tiger." Iti the war with Japan,' five
yeara later, one may say that many Russian generals
wens out to Manchuria for wool and came back shorn.
General Kouropatkln, war minister when the contest
began, waa one of them. "Grandpa" Llnevitch was
another. To General Rennenkampf belongs the honor
not shared by many high officers In tha Russian
army of carrying a great reputation out to Manchu
riaand bringing a greater reputation back. Any ona
who la curloua about tha details of his actions may
read them in a vigorous little book by General Ren
nenkampf himself. entlUed, "My Eight Days' Fight at
Mukden,' published at Vllna in 19. Lieutenant Baron
Tettau, the historian of the war, translated It Into
German; .and thla typical Prussian officer cannot find
praise high enough for General Rennenkampf, who, he
openly hints, might have turned defeat into victory
If hla auperlora had allowed him. General Rennen
kampf In his book never tires of singing the praises
of tha Russian private, who has a staying power under
attack and a vigorous bayonet thrust when attacking
that It would be hard to equal In any army in the
world.
At the outbreak of the present war, General Ren
nenkampf waa In command of the military station
of Vllna, about ninety miles by rail from the Prussian
frontier, and about 190 miles from Konlgsberg, Vllna
being the post of tha third army corps.
Rasala'e Fortifications.
Vllna Is ona of a series of military atatlona aU
along the German and Austrian frontiers, in which
by far the greater part of the European army of
Russia Is concentrated. Riga, Vllna, Grodno, Wsr

Of this aggressive army, four or five corps those

and tiemflropol as a second line, sre - the natural
nucleus of the army of Invasion of Austria, or rather
of the Ruthenian-Polish province of Galicla, which is,
in race and natural character. a continuoua part of

Russky, the captor of Lemberg, - and tha- brilliant
cavalry leader. General Alexel Brusslloff. who vrns

Brusslloff wsa one of a email group of supremely
competent men who were not aent to Manchuria be
cause they were even more needed at home to guard
the western frontier of Russia from an attack by
the German emperor. General Brusslloff is in warm
