A ship Of the American navy win carry the ctaiidren'a Cbrlntmas-rU
from America to Europe. '
What an example that will be for the warring nations!
One of Uncle Sam's great warships, not fitted out wllh engines of
destruction, but laden with good rheer and choicest gifts of the spirit of
peace on 'earth, good will to men! It will be such a sight- aa the world
never Raw before.
This message was received from the secretary of the navy at The Bee
office last night:
"WA8IIIXGTON, Oct. 5. I take great pleasure In Informing
you that I have arranged to send an American warship, the Teasel to
be selected later, to European waters during the latter part of No
vember, for the purpose of relieving the North Carolina, and I have
.further arranged for this ship to rarry the Christmas cargo of useful
presents which the ninety-odd newspapers of this country, represented
by you, have so thoughtfully collected from the generous people of
our own country.
i ."It is a beautiful spirit which has prompted this portion of the
press of the United States and the people who have responded to their
appeal to lavish upon the distressed little ones of. European countries
these tokens' of liberality. - ' .
."This unselfish enterprise, I feel confident, bespeaks our own
gratitude to God for peace which now prevails within our own
" boundaries and at the same time breathes forth the universal prayer
- from the hearto of our countrymen that the distress of nations across
the waters may soon be ended.
"Again assuring you of my delight that the navy is able, in some
measure, to further your plans and purposes,, believe me. cordially
t ' yours, ' ... "JOSEPH Eff DANIELH.
"Secretary of Navy."
Secretary Daniels will later; designate the warship that is to be sent
on this glorious mission, and then the exact date of the sailing will be
announced. ' In the meantime, those who are already jjusy with the work
of preparing the cargo of yuletldeHoy to be carried to the. little ones of
Europe are urged to keep on, and those who have been waiting for definite
news should now get busy.
- There Is little timejeft, for Nebraska must be ready when the Christ
mas ship sails. The Bee will give due notice df thedate, and in the mean
time the Christmas Ship Editor.will continue to answer all queries and give
whatever advice may be needed. 'Cash subscriptions should be made pay

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. nwlin
lng In the abucre of all the facts to
express any opinion whether the Jap
anese landing on tho Island of Jal
nita, one of the Marshall group in
tho Pacific ocean is a violation of
the announcement by the Japanese
foreign bffice t the beginning of the
war that Japan would be confined to
the far east. Secretary Bryan today
was plainly expecting the early ar
rival of some official statement of
the ultimate purposo of this act.
Already the socrtary has Interested
himself in Japanese military operations
agulnat the German concession In Bhan
Tung, probably, animated by the appeal
from tho Chinese ' government against
violation of Chinese Integrity.
No Representations let.
Ths landing on the Marsair - Islands,
however, has not yet been made the sub
ject of representations) to the Plate de
partment, possblly for th ereason that
there Is no one In a position correspond
ing to that of China. In Harioa It is
pointed out by offllcals, the United
States haa a very lively Interest in any
change In the sovereignly of tho group
because o fthe proximity of the German
owned lalands to the American Island of
Tutulla.
On the whole, official opinion Is that
while the United States Is interested as
would be any maritime power since the
group lies on the trade route around
Cap Horn and through the stralta of
Magellan to thu orient, the issue really
is of much greater concern to Great
Britain.
Underetaadlaa wltk Ally.
Because of the reluctance of the British
Australian colonies to have the Japanese
approaoh their continent, the British
government Itself Is understood to have a
vary explicit understanding with Ita ally,
Japan, that the British alone are free to
exploit tha Important German Insular
possessions in Micronesia and in New
Guinea.
It la asaumed that what had been done
on the Island of Jalult la In accordance
with this understanding and a mora or
leas official statement Is expected that
the Marshall islands, after the extirpa
tion of the German naval base there, will
either be vacated by the Japanese or
turned over to the British, their future to
be decided in the conferences which must
terminate the present war.
Jnat Temporary Art.
Officials at tha British embassy were
Joaltive today in their abHuramcH thut
Japan's act would in no way develop
Into a violation of the memoranda lim
iting the scope of Japanese military. The
pledge outlining tho extent of Japanese
aggression wae reiterated and declared to
be a proof that the seizing of Jalult waa
merely a temporary act.
Late today after receiving an official
cablegram from Toklo, confirming tha
destruction of the German baKe at Jalult,
the Japanese embassy Issued the follow
ing statement:
, Japanese Statement.
"In this connection It may be recalled
that the German men of war have been
making apprarance In the Pacific and
the Houth seas and have been disturbing
the shipping routes ever since the out
break of the present war, and that this
fact at laat compelled the allied fleeta of
Japan and Great Britain to decide upon
expeditionary measures to keep the routes
clesr, as waa recently reported In the
prens. In tlie light of this facl It may
be safely concluded that the action taken
by a portion of the Japanese squadron
above referred to is nothing but a step
for the fulfillment of the expeditionary
mission."

War Summary
The official silence maintained
for the last twelve hours over tho
operations of the allies In north
eastern franco was broken today
by the official statement from
Paris. This set forth thai the
le wing of the allied army was
extending more and more widely;!
that strong forces of German cav
alry had appeared in the vicinity
of Ullle, In the department of
Nord; (hat between the Somme
and the Olsne there had been al
ternating advances nd withdraw
als, and that a German attack
near Lnfwigny had failed. North
of Solxnonn the allies have ad
vanced. The rest of the front
shows no change.
The dlHclosure (hat the opera
tions on the western end of the
great battl line have rtViched the
vicinity of Lille, places the Ger
mans In strength at a point easily
within ten miles of the Belgian
frontier. Taking Lasnlgny as jhe
elbow of the French battle line,
It now extends roughly for eighty
miles due north and for consider
ably over 100 miles from Las
slgny to the eastward.
No confirmation has come from
any German source of the reported
removal by Emperor William of
field Marsha! von Moltke from
the post of chief of the German
general 'staff, and the aucresslon
by Major General von Volghts
Rheti. This story was received
In London lattt night from Am
sterdam. The Japanese navy department
In explaining the occupation off
the German Inland of Jallut, one
Df the Marshall group in tha south
Pacific, declares the move was
made for military purposes and
not for permanent occupation.

lished in Alsace, according to a

School Board In Bad
When last June ' Prof. Bernstein
was dropped out of the hi eh ichool
faculty The Bee entered this pro
test:
The nummary dismissal by
the School Ntard of a member
of the high school teaching
staff, without even rharires,
and much less a hearing, after
more than fifteen years' service
and successive promotions,
promises to disclose whether
the so-called permanent list af
fords any permanency of pro
lection to teachers. It goes
without saying that if the board
fan dismiss a permanent . list
teacher in thla fashion, every
teacher in the schools Is exposed
to the same treatment, and the
permanent list Is a farce. No one
will contend that a school
teacher is, or should be, immune
from dismissal for catue, but
he, or she, should have a right
lo know what, if any, charge
are made and the opportunity
to refute them. Our Hchool
hoard Just now is not in such
high public enteetn that It can
afford to violate Its own rules
and repudiate its own obliga
tions Just to wreak petty ven
geance of Individual members.
The dismissal of Miss Steg-ner is a
perhaps less flaerant breach of the
rules, for she had not yet earned a
place on the permanent list, but in
principle it is the same, and what
The Bee said applies likewise in her
case. The school board has put it
self in bad arain, because the peo
ple want the teaching corps kept on
the merit system and no one dis
missed for cause without a hearing
and a chance for a defense.

"In the vicinity of Arras and on

Till now all the conTbats fought on the

There la much speculation on tha phase
of the fighting In that vicinity, which can

"The military critics, among them
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset of the Petit
Tarlatan, refuse to attach any Import
ance to tha setback or tha yielding ot
territory, declaring them to be the In.
evltable retreats which can be offset by a
progressive movement He cites the fact
that Napoleon Bonaparte at Marengo had
to retreat three times In tha face of tha

finding thero one of his most brilliant
victories, as well as one of the moat
