Fleia Spoken and to the Point The protest prepared by President Wilson and transmitted by Secretary Bryan demanding of the Oermaa government scrupulous respect of non-eombantant lives and property on the bUb. seas Is plaln-epokeu and to the point, and unquestionably voices the sentiment of the great majority of the American people. The freedom of the document from obscure diplomatic phraseology, and Its prompt publica tion in our own press almost simultaneously with presentation to Berlin, Indicates that It is intended as much for the sovereign American eltlsen as for the sovereign of Germany. In the one paramount proposition It Is clear cut, namely, that the United States will not recognise or acquiesce In violation by any of the warring nations of Europe of the lights accorded by international law t6 our dtlMns voyaging the seas either la neutral ships or la unarmed merchantmen flying a belligerent flag. This protest Is broader than all possible claims for reparation for destroyed Uvea of Americans It embraces all eitisena of neutral countries and all non-oombatanta of belligerent countries aa well. It Is a demand for observ ance of an established principle ot I n tarna tion al law, with notice that It disregard must forfeit the benefits of that coda. In view of Its constant effort to maintain friendly relations with this country and smllst our moral support, we may be sure the Oermaa government, will to use a colloquialism it up and take notice, and make aa effort, not only to give us a satisfactory answer, but also to stop the unjustifiable practices to which we are objecting. These Be Real Heroes, Alongside the wanderings of Ulysses and bis companions will be placed the exploits of Lieutenant von Muecke and bis little band of fifty sailors from the Emden. who have Just turned up at Damascus. Six months ago the Emden was overhauled and sunk by an Aus tralian cruiser at an islaad in tha Indian oeean, and a flninh was put to the spectacular career of that dashing sea raider. A landing party, en gaged on business ashore, eluded the fate that overtook the rest of the ship's company, aad put to sea la a commandeered boat. Now and then some word has been had of their presence la some out-of-the-way corner, but always have their eyes been turned toward the Fatherland, and their efforts bent at reaching back to where they can be ot service to their country. What adventures they have had, what difficulties they have overcome, may never be known, for It isn't like men of that stamp to tell much of what they have done or how they did It. But they have won the Iron cross with credit, and some modern Homer may find in their story the foun dation for another 6dyssey. The company that sailed oa the Emden was made up of gallant fighting men, and Lieutenant von Muecke and bis fifty were not the least of the lot. , Put on the Brakes. The presence la tha police court ot a con siderable number of motorists shows that all the drivers are not giving to their position, the care it should receive, Omaha ought to be a veritable paradise to the motorist, Its broad paved streets offering Ideal conditions for driving. Unfortu nately, too, these same tine streets preseat aa ever present temptation to "speed up," and from time to time some thoughtless motorist allows his car to get away from the speed regulations. Other matters are also overlooked, and as reault the careful drivers, who are la the big majority, suffer because of the carelessness ot the minority. It Is to the Interest of all that proper attention be given to the management of the huge cars that dart around the streets, es pecially after nightfall; and this care should be extended to the boulevards and the paved roads leading out Into the country. A number of acci dents have been noted lately that might easily have beea avoided had the driver observed strictly the rules ot the road and given consider ation to the rights of others. "Safety first" Is a mighty good rule for the auto driver, and Its ob servance will not detract In the least from the Joys ot motoring. Getting Tog-ether. The movement among the republicans ot Nebraska to organise for the campaign of 191 Is gathering torce. and with the Interest ot the party aroused will bring , back ' victory to the party's banner. This time is most appropriate, tor a reunion of the factions and an end to the bickering that has divided the party and made it possible for the democrats to seise the power. The prosperity of the state and the nation is safe la the hands ot the republicans; democratio ascendancy has always meant trouble, extrava gance and maladministration. The republicans have made good oa their promises In Nebraska. The most salutary laws on the statute books, for the regulation ot corporations, for the protec tion of the eitisena, and for the advancement ot the people in all their activities were put there by the republicans. The party can point to a most notable record, that of having enacted Its every platform promise Into law, and those laws are now oa the statute book upheld by the courts and la full operation. Only factional differences have divided the party aad given the democrats aa opportunity to secure control ot the executive and legisla tive branches of the government. It the repub licans will get back to the advocacy of proper principles and submerge personal grievances, success for the party la Nebraska will be easily obtained. An official statement of the cost of war la British ships; exclusive of warships, show a total cf SOI vessels, and a life lose ot 1,658. Since February 18, the date ot the war sons decree, ' ninety-one merchant ships, mostly British, have been destroyed by German sub majines and mines, and 1.800 Uvea lost, The life toll ladudes the loss due to the Biasing ot the Lualtaaia. In the list are seven Norwegian vessels, three American, three 8wedlsh, tour trutch. three Danish and one Greek Teasel.

In Italy tn IMS there ware eso people's banka, with outstanding loans ef im.000,000. Tn France amall loana are made amounting to hundreds of million annually. The ftrat effort to provide similar banking facili ties hare was made five yaars ago. when Arthur J. Morris put Into operatic a echeme he had worked out. now known as the Morris plan. Thla plan la neither a swindle nor a philanthropy.

"The first of thane Institutions was establlahed In Norfolk. Va., Mr. Morns' home town, fifteen yaars ago. Others followed. Several of these are but a few months old, and their establlahment followed the formation of a central company which began business lent June. Thla corporation was organised to assist la atartma Morris-Plan hanks In other cities where they were felt to be needed. It subscribes about 10 per cent of the stock of each hank, the rest being taken by local capital, and It supervisee aad helps In the operation of each.

Enough blood has been shed now. We are not prepared to fight any foreign country, except on our own ter ritory. Here, I know, ne hostile nation can ever invade ua. Now we want not pro or anti-German sentiments, but common sense. 1 The Luattanla huadent la to be re gretted. Germany waa legally in the right The Luaitanie was heavily loaded with contraband. Germany aad England were morally in the wrorur. England should not have allowed passengers to he aboard the, ship Ignorant of Its cargo. On the other hand, Germany could have given more definite notices. Never before has any country stooped to sink a ship laden with defenseless paaaengera It would be well to prevent any neutrals from visiting the war zone, except offi cially, for such sensatlDn-aeekere en danger their country aa well aa eelvee.
