II. M. McCliinnhan was quoted a anylnR on the. same subject and occasion: "We need more, harmony between the Water board, tho city commissioners and the citizens before we movo forward at our nest strides." Which .provokes city commissioners. "It Is a queer thlnK," says Commis sioner Ryder, "that men of Intelligence do not understand, or seem to appreciate the fact that the city .commissioners huve nothing whatever to say about any property or equipment subject to Water board control. The Water board Is abso lutely supreme. It ia a law unto itaelf. The city commission hits no voice In any thing touching its power' or control. We have no more to do with Water board matters than has any other citizen or set of citizens In Omaha. Dr. McClana han and Mr. Wallace are Just as potent In this connection as any city commis sioner, or all put together. "So, let ne say, there is no dispute, no friction, no lack of harmony between the Water board, or, Mr. Howell and the commission, for the reason that there Is Ho chance for any, as the law stands. "I can't aee why this fact Is not clearly understood and appreciated. I wish The Bee would try to make It clear In tho minds Vt these good people. We, the members of the city commission, are. Indeed, the servants of the citizens and .the taxpayers and we keenly realize that fact. We also admit that the members of the Water board and Ha general man ager are their servants, but when It cornea to curbing or controlling the latter, It Is a matter, not for the city commis sion, but for the citizens, themselves, for, as I say, the Water board Is a law unto Itself with power' supreme in all that it dominate." f A "For Sale" A4 will tura second-hand furniture into cash.

During the trip the Valnigen was fired upon by land artillery and later pursued by armored aeroplanes and was re ported dlHabled. Since then Mrs. Ougler has had no definite Information as to the welfare of her relative. The photograph was taken Just before ascending, as the outcome of the Journey was highly doubtful, and in war time there Is more or less brotherly feeling among soldiers In the same fight about sending back remembrances of men that are likely never to return. Mrs. Qugler has Just received tho copy sent to her. lnoe the war has started two of Mrs. Guglcr a cousins have been killed on the frontier of France while doing aerial scout duty. One mot his late as the German army was pressing on lis way towards tho outskirts of I'aria and the other the following month as the In vaders were retreating. Mrs. Guglcr still has five cloan relatives in the aerial service, onp of whom recently was given an iron cross for bravery. Phe Is a third cousin to the famous Inventor, Count Zeppelin.

And the big hauling firms flung horses and transports at them and at tha government, often refusing any prloe, or, when it was paid, turning It Into war funds. What the battalion wanted tt had but -to ask for. Onoe it was short of, say, towels. An officer approached the head of a big firm with no particular Idea he would get more than a few dozen from that quarter. "And how many towels d'you wontT" said Ute head of the farm. The officer suggested a globular thousand. "I think you'll do better with twelve hundred," was the curt answer. "They're ready out yonder. Got '"em." Well Worth Looking- At. And in this style Bolton turned out her battalion. Then the authorities took It and strung it by threes and fives along several score miles of railway track; and it had only. Just been reassembled, and it had been Inoculated for typhoid. Conse quently, they said (but all officers are' like mothers and motor car owners) it wasn't up to what It would be in a little time. In spite of the cyclist, I had had a good look at the deep-chested battalion in the park, and after getting their mus ketry figures ()lt seemed to me that Gloucestershire In the south. A spy could not have learned much less. The battalion halted and moved off by companies for further evolutions. One could see they were more than used to drill and arms; a hardened, thick necxed, thin-flanked, deep-chested lot. dealt with quite faithfully by their ser geants', and altogether abreast of their work. Why, then, this retlenoe? What had they to be ashamed of, these big Bol ton folk without an address? Were they Germans in disguise? Where was their orderly-room? There were a good many orderly-rooms in the little old town, most ol them in bye-lanes less tlian one car wide. I found what I wanted, and this was north-country" all over a private volun teered to steer me to headquarters through the tricky southern streets. Ho was communlcattive, and told be a good deal about typhoid Inoculation and musk etry practice, which accounted for only six companies being on parade. But they could not have been ashamed of that. Guarding; a Railway. I unearthed their skeleton at laat In a peaceful, gracious wu-year-oiu nouse that looked on to lawna and cut hedges bounded by age-old red brick walls such a perfumed and dreaming place aa one would ohoose for the setting of some even-pulsed English love-tale to the days before the war. Officers were billeted in the low-ceiled, shiny-floored rooms full of books and flowers. "And now," I asked, when I had told the tale of the uncommunicative cyclist, "what Is the matter with your battalion?" They laughed cruelly at me. "Mat ter!" said they. "We're Just off three months of guarding railways. After that a man wouldn't trust his own mother. You don't mean to say our cyclist let you know where we've come from last?" "No, they didn't," I replied. "That was what worried me. I assumed you'd all committed murder and had been aent here to live it down." Then they told me what guarding a line really moans. How men wake and walk, with only express troop trains to keep them company, all the night long on windy embankments OS- tinder still more windy bridges; ihow"they sleep be hind three sleepers up-ended or a bit of On, or, if they are lucky, in a plate jfo x've finished with you." posterity will say: "There were giants In those days!" The Heal Question. Bo much we can realize, even though we are ro close to It. The old safe extinct saves us from triumph and exultation. But what will be the position In years to come of the young man who has de liberately elected to outcasts himself from this all-embracing brotherhood?
