Ac cording to authorities professing to speak "by the card," all these documents have to be trans lated Into code word for word to Insure utmost 1 tcrecy and then decodixed ' by equally labor ious process of re-translation. It is said that It took three hours to put President Wilson's first note to Germany into the diplomatic code al though it measured but 1,500 words, which must alto be "keyed" by way of further pre caution and the whole Job had to be done over In reverse when ft reached our embassy in Ber lin before delivery to destination in the Oer ruan foreign office. Remembering that all these whole "notes" lc original readable English are given publicity through the press the' moment final communi cation to the kaiser's government waa Insured and thus made available to friend and foe alike, ! the codifying and decodifylng would appear to I be a huge joke were It not for the seriousness of the subject matter. Why In thia twentieth century should governnenta try to talk to each other not only In cryptic language, which de ceives no one, but also go to the expense of time. money and trouble to provide a pretense of secrecy when there is no secrecy nor would such secrecy be of any advantage If It could be pre served T Some day yes, we hope some not distant day we may be big and brave enough to throw all this diplomatic tom-foolery into the waste basket. mr Yxcrrom mosxiraraB. Aircraft in War. Among modern achievements undergoing the fierce test of war, aeroplanes stand out aa the moat Important new factor In land operations. They have become the eyes of the armies, the skypllots whose wide perspective furnish com' mending generals with essential information about the enemy. In this activity aeroplanes thus tar have ahown their greatest usefulness. In , part at least they are responsible for the unprecedented use of entrenchments, having compelled fighting men to dig themselves Into open and coverei trenches and forced to resort to every available utethod of screening artillery. So thoroughly are concealments practiced that human eyes privileged to view the firing lines rarely see ttlgna of actual war. Swiftly moving aircraft render perilous even preparation for open field attacks In daytime, which accounts for the fre quency of night attacks when aerial eyet are useless.' The use of aircraft for raids on enemy coun trie, have not as yet produced results com mensurate with the risk. Dropping bombs on cities distant from the battle lines has not altered the progress of the war. Even the huge German Zeppelins have failed signally a a fac tor In the fighting. Their vast bulk makes tht.ni a conspicuous target for artillery, which explalnt their raids exclusively at night The euperlority of the swift moving aeroplane over (be balloon was strikingly proved in the recent .uccoaaTul attack of the Canadian aviator on a i aiding Zeppelin. Aa a factor In army operations the aeroplane iis already won a place of supreme importance: Ju further development under the stress of war gives promise of wider usefulness. A Proper Measure of Prevention. Through advertisement ' of the telephone company In Chicago papers, subscribers are notified that employes sent for any reason to enter private premises are each to carry Identi fication cards bearing photograph and auto graph of such employe to be demanded and veri fied In case of the slightest doubt s to his right of entry or that the person Is what he rep- resenta himself to be. This strikes us aa a move In the right direction, that should be fol lowed, as It probably soon .will be, by all public service corporations that employ meter readers, teeters, Inspectors, repair men, etc. As patrons, we are expected, If not required, to admit these men to our houses and offices, often taking the chance of throwing our doors open to impostors or suspicious characters. The rule, too, If good for public service corporations, would apply equally to municipally-owned utilities. The enforcement of some dependable system of Identification before admission to private premises should be viewed not as reflection on tl)e employe, but as a precaution really for his trotection,v as well as for the protection of the householder. While resort to the ruse of per sonating a meter-reader or repair-man may be rare In Omaha as compared with Chicago, there la every reason why we should have the benefit of the same measure of prevention. A Touch of Human Nature. In the Michigan penitentiary at Jackson a convict saw another In Imminent danger and sprang to his rescue. The life was saved, but the rescuer died. Her is material for reflec tion on one of man's noble attributes one that knows neither race nor clime, nor poverty, nor riches. No tie of friendship or affection held these men; It may be doubted If either knew the other'a name, for men In prlsoa are usually merely numbers. The dead man saw the living In mortal peril, and without a thought of conse quences thrust himself between death and the victim. , It was an Impulse that seems common to humanity. No crisis, great or small, develops but someone arises to meet it. Frequently "the native hue of resolution la sicklied o'er by the pale east ot thought," and the Individual loses a chance to bd a hero. But the Impulse to help a stricken brother, to assume sudden and unexpected risks. Is common enough, and Is on of man's most praiseworthy, traits. Not all heroes wear Carnegie medals, but the world had Its heroes long before Jhe Institution of the com mission on award, and most ot them are too modest to wear a medal. It given one. The convict who died that his fellow mlaht live had at least that much of nobility In his nature, and his self-sacrifice must strengthen the belief that some good exists In all men. Feryenion of Book Tastes. A picture In Life presents a most clever satire on the superficial character of present day book reading. Two open shelf sections ot a public library are labelled to Indicate the contents. A btudlous, sober-faced old man, looking through his spectacle, is pouring over a precious volume Just taken from Its well filled stack neatly labelled "Shakespeare, Hawthorne, Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot At the other side Is a variegated lot ot men and women, young and old, scrambling for a pick ot the books remain- irg on depleted shelves bearing 'the Illuminating rames "Myrtle Mush. The Countess, Katherlne Klsamore, Natalie Nutt." Translated into word drawing, the good old substantial works of what are known aa the standard authors remain dust covered and readerleas, mere reminders ot by gone days while the effervescent, sentimental, passing, transitory output ot the so-called popu lar authors have their brief run one after the other because they appeal to a passing fancy or happen to hit upon a fashionable 'fad. Is the rlcture overdrawn? Perhaps. But alas! there Is much more truth than poetry In It. Court Control of Kewipapera. How William, Howard Tart could suggest to the New York constitutional convention that the freedom ot the press should be constricted to prevent "newspaper trials' Is a little difficult to understand. . To prohibit the newspapers pub lishing court proceedings would simply confirm the Judge In their autocracy, and, as history teaches, w have much more to fear from Judie cial tyranny thaa from newspapers overstepping the bounds of propriety. The Bee ventures to prophesy that if the suggestion were to be adopted. New York state would need a lot of new jails to hold all the newspaper editors who will be la contempt of court Helping to make Omaha beautiful Includes the necessary effort to keep It beautiful COUNT on William Jennlnsa Bryan to anise what to Mm aeetn to be the paychtiloalcal moment for a apectactilar rerformance. Mia whole puhlio career has been a atrtea of aenaattonal exploits ap peallnf ttronsly to the Imagination, but falling ahort of holding the sober second thought. I attended the historic VN Chtaaao convention and heard the fnmoua "Croee-of-gold" speech which won him his flint presidential nomination. .To an outsider It doutitlars looked aa If It were all wholly spontane ous, but In fact It waa carefully thought out and pre pared far In advance. The only truet-to-luck part of that dramatic act waa In choosing the time for at ag ing It, which had to wait for the favorable opening. And, aa I have often remarked, the wonderful re sponse elicited by that oration was due as much to its contrast with the dull and tiring speeches delivered bjr those who preceded htm aa to Its own resonant ring. At the 1904 Rt. touts convention, which Bryan startled with his midnight outbreak over the Parker gold telegram, I was again present, snd no unbiased observer doubts that had not the nomination been already actually made, Parker would never have bean named. deaplU all the pins set up snd all the deals entered Into to Insure that result Because of other engagements I was absent from both the Orsnd Island convention and the Baltimore convention, where Bryan played very similar roles, though with foredoomed failure fh the first and un expected success In th second. On all these occasions that have brought him Into th glare of the limelight and Perhaps his resignation as colonel of th Second Nebraska should be mentioned In th sam connec tion hi Judgment baa been seriously questioned even by his clotest friends and admirers, stthough hi audacious courage and sublime confidence in hi own peruv power and In hi ultlmafa vindication ha been universally conceded. , Bryan must b a believer In his "star" newspaper men who were with him over th election each time he ran for th presidency Insist he was really cock eure thet h was a hot to win out and genuinely sur prised at his defeats which everyone else clearly fore- ssw. I hav not th slightest doubt that right now he has thoroughly convinced himself, regardless of the opinions of others, that his resignation from the cabinet and th program he ha mapped out Is th supram call of duty. The Bryan debacle filled the house and supplied a windfall for the boa offlc for Stephen Wise' lecture. HI subject. "Is War Cureless?" Just fitted In with th hour and h treated It In a powerful Impreaslon making way. A a whole, overlooking the side sal lies, his talk was brilliant and seemingly Inspired. But Dr. Wise's bold badinage and keen satire are slsu telling. I wonder If everyone who heard caught th not of Irony In hi profit thanks for th handsome personal tribute to him In the Illuminated letters ot his nam surmounting our municipal welcome arch. From his mere words on would Infer that the deli cacy of th compliment quit overcame his modesty and biased a path straight Into his heart P. B. Does not someone In authority In the city ball possess the hardihood to have that hideous arch removed and, If w must retain It re-locate It at a more suitable spot, wher It will not destroy the beauty and symmetry of th most consptouous clviu and architectural center of our cltyT What give the Ak-6ar-Ben 'initiation entertain ment their hold year after year It's th clever idea, th melodious muslo. th spicy yet free-from- ffense character of th stunts and th constant up-to-dateness.
