National crises which appear mountainous

Women ia Men's Shoes.
The demands of war upon the vitality and
lives of the male population of Europe are open
ing up for women practically every occupation
hitherto monopollted by men. Necessity pro
vides the opportunity. A moderate estimate
places the number of men In the various armies
at 10,000,000. At least halt as many more are
engaged In providing sustenance for soldiers and
supplying implements of destruction. All the
places vacated by the call to arms did not re
quire new bands. The demoralltation of nor
mal business reduced, It it did not wholly de
stroy, the need of help. Only In the industries
directly linked with war has the demand, for
help reached abnormal proportions. Into these
Industries and the necessary activities of city
life women are crowding in ever increasing
lumbers.
Women workers long have been factors in
the industrial life of France. Not so In Eng
land and Germany. Men dominated the indus
trial life of both countries, but the war has shot
their domination to pieces. In both countries
women are employed as street car operators and
conductors, city firemen, mall carriers and mall
clerks, train guards, station agents and traffic
officers. In many mills and factories hitherto
closed to them, women now outnumber men
Even In munition factories women are working
beside men under the high pressnre of quadru
ple shifts, and performing dangerous aud deli
cate tasks as carefully and quickly as more ex
erlenced men.
Borne avenues of activity now open to women
may be closed to them when peace comes. The
greater number of fields Invaded must remain
In their possession if for no other reason than
that the diminished supply of male help will
nader their employment necessary. But, the
future aside, one tangible result of the war is
apparent. New industrial empires have been
opened to women, and the dependents of yester
year are tfee independent of today.
Bryan and the Olive Branch.
The proposrd solf-iniposd mission of the
li-te secretary of state to the warring nations ot
Europe as a private etnoy of lare has several
easily noted features to commend it. Mr.
Hryan, as the most outspoken of all the present
ly advocates of universal peace, himself feels
that his Idess can be more effectively presented
In person than by mall, and he lonfts for an
opportunity to talk to the warriors now tearing
tip everything within reach In pursuit of their
destructive bent. Few, if any, of these have
c-er felt the melting influence of the great com
i.ioner's persuasive eloquence, and there is no
telling In advance Just what good effect his
hortative discourse might not have upon them.
If Mr. Bryan were successful in his mission
end restores peace to the world, he wtll have
done an inestimable service to humanity. On
the other hand, if he were to encounter a stiff
necked, proud and bellicose people, stubbornly
refusing to listen to his pacification projects, he
might help us all to learn a really serviceable
lnsaon as to the make-up of human nature. At
first glance the experiment seems something
like that tried by Kins Canute, when he bad
the rising tide desist, but appearances may be
deceptive. It should be encouraged, however,
for the possible benefit It may have on belliger
ents and the peace missionary alike.
Impulse, Reason and Eugenics.
From the Washington headquarters of the
American Genetic Association comes advice to
follow your Instincts, if you want to be a eugen
ist. This advice is so contrary to what has
t.itherto been conceived to be the chief end of
(he genetic cult that It fairly takes one's breath.
We had been taught by those who have cham
pioned the cause of race improvement through
better breeding that eugenics was an accurate
science, based on concrete and demonstrable
facts, and had nothing whatever to do with im
pulse. Laws for the regulation of marriage
Lave been based on human experience to a cer
tain extent, and those proposed have been
founded on a theory that cause produces effect
in man the same as in the lower orders of ant
t lato creation. Therefore, mating should be a
process of fitness, determined by tests of various
rort, to the end that ultimately physical and
lt'ental neaknesses will be entirely eliminated
and man will stand alongside instead of just
below the angels.
Dr. Samuel C. Kohs, expert psychologist at
tached to the Chicago House of Correction, says:
Wa are liable to overemphasise the Importance
of conscious, superficial, intellectual factora over
thorn which are unconscious, Inmite, org-anlr. The
superiority of 1 net I net over reason Is that It reicu
Iaten conduct In the Intereat of the apeclea at every
point, while consciousness la selfish ami la exactly
measured by the degree to which the Individual has
broken away from the dominance of the race and
art up for hlmaelf against it.
How fur this new doctrine will gain support
in not clear: rather, it seems more certainly
doomed by its very novelty to encounter strong
opposition from such scientists as have gone
deeply into the subject, becsuse it does under
take to replace conscious reasoning with sub
conscious Impulse. A wit once remarked, "Im
pulsive people are apt to have black eyes," to
which may be added they are also apt to have a
lot of trouble that might be avoided If they
vera guided a little more by cold reasoning.
However. Cupid is still doing business at the
old stand, and It isn't likely he will shut up shop
because of Dr. Kohs and his kind.
The Newi Value of "Billy" Sunday.
The Bee is receiving many compliments and
some criticisms for its handling of the "Billy"
Punday revival meetings as a dally news feature.
The compliments naturally come from those who
are in more or less sympathy with the Sunday
rovement, while the complaints come from two
sources those who think the space allotted to
this subject far in excess of its importance, and
those who would exclude all other newspaper
reading to give Sunday unlimited and paramount
preference.
When the question was first propounded to
The Bee as to what treatment It would accord
the Sunday campaign, the answer was that its
rews value alone would govern. But news
values, like all other values, are strictly com
parative. The reports of the Sunday meetings
end sermons are now crowding the war and
general news, and the reason may easily be seen
lu the figures of tabernacle attendance. The
r.ost conservative estimates count approximately
180,000 people having already heard Sunday
since the opening of his Omaha engagement
not all different people, to be sure, but If two-
thirds of them are duplications, we still have
60,000 people sufficiently interested personally
to go to hear him. What other one topic ot
current news right now, except the war, can
command the interest of an equal number of
men, women and children?
Swallow with a Grain of Salt.
Reports of normal conditions prevailing in
warring nations should be well salted before
taking. Newspapers are an accurate barometer
of national life and business conditions. Less
than halt the dally newspapers of Paris before
the war exist today, and these have shrunk to
less than half their normal site. British news
papers have likewise suffered a severe cut in
alie, because advertising has all but disappeared.
Vorwaerts, the Berlin organ of the ocial-detuo-tratlc
party, reports that 1,200 newspapera and
periodicals of Germany have suspended publica
tion since the war began. Any pretense of normal
conditions prevailing in the warring countries
or anywhere In Europe may be set down as
rubbish.
Well, well! What's this? A plea by our
amiable contemporary for vacation schools,
pointing to Boston in illustration of their success
and economy, although, of course, after the
vacation Is all past. Omaha used to have vaca
tion schools, too, but they were abolished by the
School board two years ago without protest by
the newspaper that has suddenly discovered their
value.
The Bee owes Gus Rente an apology, for,
come to think of it, it was needlessly degrading
to the artistic conception and execution of that
Ak-Sar-Ben wooden horse to mention It along
with the hideous "Welcome" arch that disfig
ures the approaches to our beautiful court house.
We also apologize to the horse.

Jt PT five years aso I was in Mexico City attendln
the celebration of tna centennial anniversary of
hi Xtxlran republic. Even while our editorial
party wsa still down there, sporadic outbreaks axainst
the conatitutHl authorities were being reported, but no
ono for a moment regarded them of a aerloua nature,
or harbored the remotest Idea that they would soon
develop into a rasln Insurrection that would be art 11 :
unfuppresard five years later. What terrible destruc
tion war i an work, and how hard R Is to and It, la
Illustrated by the sad experience of Mexico. Nearly
all ot the Important personages who figured In that
gala centennial celebration of 1910 have passed off the
stage. Including LMas. who had the principal role, and
Corral, then vlre president and supposedly his deatlned
succeeaor. while the few who survive, like Llmantour
and Creel and Delia Rarra, driven Into the obscurity
of exile. We can see the havoc of fire yeara' war in
Mexico. Can anyone possibly imagine whet would
be the condition of Europe If the great war over there,
which has already run mora than a year, should have
a five-year's duration?
I received a poatal card from Germany thla week
containing a poem as "an answer to Woodrow Wilson.
Washington," translated, although written originally.
In Herman by John Berllt, who Uvea In Kaasel and
who notes that he "stood at The Bee's cradle." In
this reminder Mr. Berllt Is correct, for he was em
ployed aa bookkeeper for The Bee In lta early days, in
which capacity perhaps some of the old-time Hermans
here may rememtier him. He afterwards returned to
the fatherland and when I waa abroad waa engaged In
what Is calied "Kolonkil Waaren" business, or dealer
In grocery Importation In Kasael where, by a peculiar
Incident my father and I visited him as his g-uesta.
Before I tell that story, lt-t me print the poetry, whlcli
douhtleaa reflects the thought and attitude of many
educated and Intelligent Ocrmana on the protests our
prealdenf has mnile eftelnat the Oermiin subsea war
fare. It reada as follows:
AN ANSWER TO WOODROW WILSON.
"Our blood seta boiling while wa read your note
We shan't subject us to your filthy code
To perverse stinking foul hypocrisy
IJke far from loglo and philosophy.
1 1 era Is our answer, honest, clear, precise
May come what may, be peace or war tha price,
"Look back Into your books of famous are
nrman asnlstance etanda on every page
Frledrlch der Clrosee bravely stood by you
When Knglmd sent to crush you her vast crew
And when Si-reaslon's snake lifted Its head
The German people waa your friend and mate
t'neounted thoueancis ahed their precloua blood
While Franca and Bngland 'rainst the Union stood.
"We want no thanks, our action was dictate
I-lctta of moral duty, friendship to your state
All that we want Is: that by honor bound
Tou deal with ua and foea on even ground.
"As long aa England outrages tha sea
Ht.irvation being Its most Christian (lee,
To shelter our seventy million nation
We shall destroy without any cessation
Whatever ships on road for England's shore.
Our I'-boata beat them irreparable sore.
That seventy million save their precloua life
Americana may keep afar our strife.
We fight for liberty of godcreated ocean
While England's egotism Is solely Its motion
Ours Is tha price, oure the rlghteoua cause
Our moral strength will conquer all our foes
And should, misled, you Join tham-then for blame

And now, America, make ready, choose.

Mr. Berllt, whose attention had In aoma way been
called to tha Tarts New York Herald Item, translated
and copied Into some German paper, and ha naturally,
and without thinking It anything- at all unusual, had
addressed his letter in th-t naive faahlon. perfectly
