The adjuntDMsi of the dispute wth Ger
many - qbmarlne warfare leaves the
United males free to take up with Great
Britain the question of Its Interference with
American commerce on the high seas. This
matter has been pending for many months, post
poned on several occasions because of the more
Immediate German problem, and baa reached a
stage that make some eort of understanding
Imperative. By the simple expedient of an order
In council, concurred in by ita allies, the Brit
ish government has undertaken to abrogate or
modify the rules laid down for commerce In
time of war to a degree that literally makes the
high Kca an Knglish lake. Presumption has been
substituted for conclusive proof, and every doubt
that might exist is resolved beforehand in favor
of the British contention. This condition Is In
tolerable. No one disputes the charge that
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland are
carrying on a considerable traffic with Germany
and Austria and that quite a lot of American
goods have found their way to a German desti
nation through the neutral porta of Europe.
This does not give Great Britain the right to
stop all American traffic with Scandinavian or
Dutch porta. We are still permitted to sell ab
solute contraband to customers not engaged in
the war, without regard to the disposition made
of these wares by the purchasers. If these buyers
subsequently deal with the Germans, the com
plaint Is against them and not against the
Americans. So long as we are In the business of
selling our surplus products, it Is not within
the right of any nation to specify where and
how we shall seek our customers. ;
Secretary Lansing sayi the note will soon go
forward to the British government, but does
not give any Inkling as to its text. For the take
of American dignity, it ought to be as plain
spoken as were the notes to Germany.

A Scandalous Situation.
The controversy between State Treasurer
Hall and Governor Morehead from which has
developed the spectacle of the governor's depu
ties and appointees lawlessly holding and. ex
pending public money without passing It
through the treasury must impress the taxpay
ers of Nebraska with the need of reform that
will give us business methods in the state's finances.-
The enactment of what is known aa
the "Gerdes law" to require deposit in the treas
ury of all fees collected in the different depart
ments of the state government la supposed to
meet this demand, but we are now confronted
with a flagrant disregard of that law as well as
further Illustration that it is not fully effective
for the purpose Intended.
We know what would happen if this scan
dalous situation with respect to the holding out
of money from the state treasury should arise
in any big private business corporation like a
railroad, or an insurance company or a manu
facturing enterprise. -Without a doubt a lot of
people would lose their Jobs, and consider them
selves lucky to escape prosecution for embezzle'
raent No reputable business establishment
would knowingly stand for that sort of dolnga
for one moment.
Is there any good reason why the finances
of the state should be run more loosely than
those of a business corporation? Certainly not.
except that nothing- but incapacity can be ex
pected from control of our stRte government by
a democratic administration Impelled only by a
hankering for partisanship and patronage.
Shearing1 the Sheep.
News from Wall atreet supports the conclu
sion that the brokers there are making up for
the time lost last year when the "shearing pent'
of that great institution were closed, and that
the "wool" crop is unusually heavy. An orgy
of speculation has been, in progress for several
weeks, and within the last few days has reached
such proportions as to become a menace to the
real business Interests of the country. This baa
led the clearing house banks and allied organiza
tions to take some steps with a view to check
ing the debauch of gambling now in full awing.
The danger of a panic is always present under
conditions now prevailing and it is to avoid thta
that the action Is taken. No legitimate purpose
of commerce or industry is being served by the
wild buying and selling on margins, betting the
price will go up or down, while the certain
ending ot the excitement in colapse, nnlesa It be
otherwise brought to an end, la a serioua menace
to business. For this reason, the most drastic
means required to put a atop to the frenzy and
to bring Wall street back to its normal state.
will be justified by the service rendered.
Neutrality Between Frier di.
It now appeara that the landing of French
troops at 8alonikt la In reality a' breach of
Grecian neutrality against which a formal, if
feeble, protest Is lodged by Premier Ventselos,
JiiKt before he gave in his resignation because
King Constantlne refused to endorse his war
policy. It is well understood that the Allies, for
strategical purposes need the open way through
'Macedonia to 8erblan borders. The diplomatic
maneuvers preceding the present movement
seemed to have slipped a cog somewhere. While
Bulgaria made a feint several days ago, leading
to the announcement that It had declared war on
Serbia, this course has not yet been finally
taken. In offset an ultimatum waa sent from
Petrograd to Sofia, but here again an unex
plained delay of twenty-four hours occurred. In
the meantime the transports bearing the French
troops were steaming along to Salon Ik I, and
reached there on schedule time, but before the
statesmen had the., stage com pint ely set and all
things prepared tor the entrance of the soldiers
on Grecian soli under the flag of France. It is
not at alt likely then troops will now be re
called, but rather they will be followed by
others, even it the course does not comport en
tirely with the high sounding professions of re
spect for neutrality ot the weaker nations of
Kurope. After all. what is neutrality among
friend?
No result of war la aurer at this moment
than that the hitherto invincible defenses ot
free trade In Great Britain will go down before
the big drive for money. Political policies and
party principles are submerged in war's greater
stakes. Indirectly the overturn of the ancient
economic shrine will be felt in the United States.
The passing of British free trade aa a "horrible
eiample" la our presidanlal campaigns robe the
stump of a venerable thriller.

THB conduct of trench warfare lias not varlal
retly from tha methods ueed at Port Arthur.
It la true that tha Germane have obtained a
meaaure of eucrees with their Baa. but It remain

But aeroplanes and auhmarlnea ana new. Aero

For acoutlnc or marking artillery ransea, and on tha
other hand for flchtlnir, both the French and Oer
mane Uee different machines. The 1-Yenoh or German
ecotit aeroplane la not supposed to flsht at all; but
the nrltlah ttlota are ordered to engage the enemy
wherever Been. Aa a matter of fact, the French and
Germane rely for offensive work chiefly on antl-alr
craft artillery, which has not been perfected. I have
seen both side (hooting and have watched one shell
buret close to an aeroplane, only to aee the next one
explode half a mile away. Now and then a machine
la brought down, but It la simply owing; to a lucky
hot. Anti-aircraft range flndera are still In the ex

NORTH IjOUP, Neb.. Oct. 6. To the
Editor of th Bee: If our weather bureau
would ask for a small appropriation tne
a study of the upper atmosphere, the
cause of the heavy rainfall and dro .ti
years might be discovered. In 1901 the
present writer began a study of these
ci.d.tl'.ns and while no testa have been
made, the fact appears evident that the
temperature of the atmosttfiere far abov
the earth surface has much to do with
cloud and rain conditions. Primarily
rain la caused by a cold current of air
passing against a warm moisture-laden,
current of air. Hence a chansre of twenty
degree in the iuper atmosphere would
make a great difference In the matter
of rainfall. V
Any person who has studied weather
conditions has noticed that any of th
planets cause a rise of temperature Just
previous to the changes of .those planets.
Thla phenomenon Is especially noticed
In the moon rhangea, because of th
quickness of thoee chanties. I have also
noticed that magnetic conditions, caused
from theee changes, affects the temper
ature of th atmoslphere, regardless ot
the sun. I roni the tact that the planets
Haturn and Jupiter are so very large and
far from the sun and earth, the magnetlo
conditions cotisod from those planets ap
proaches slower and continues much
longer than similar magnetlo conditions
of Mercury, Venue, Mars and the moon.
The difference la a matter of the six
and distance of the planets. For Instance,
the planets Haturn and Jupiter come ln:j
certain positions and for many months
their magnetic Influence causes a rise f
temperature In the upper atmosphere
As soon as those planets pasa those posi
tions, the temperature falls below tu
normal, and a wet aaason is the result.
A study of the p-v.lt.ona of Saturn and
Jupiter with respect to the sun will go
a long way toward the solution of the
cauaea of the wet and dry years. Tlio
years of ISM; '83, '94 and ' were e y
similar to the yeara 1910, '11, '12, '13 ana
'14, and those planets occupied th same
position In those years. They are now
In about the same position of 1SH0. They
occupied the same position In 1SSI and
1902, both wet years. They arcupled the
same position In WS6 and 1MB, both
wet years. But the fact must be
remembered that other' planets have
similar magnetic forces, and those fovess
may concur In opposition or conjunction
with the forces of Saturn nnd Jupiter.
If the earth's atmosphere were subject
to the heat from the sun only, we might
know exactly what each day of the year
shall be from year to year.

OMAHA. Oct a To the Editor of The
Eee: We are having the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra here for the avowed
purpose of raining the musical taste of
Omaha. Heaven knows It needs It A
community that will go twice a day and
be satisfied to sing at the Tabernacle
such musical atrocities aa "Brighten the
Corner Where You Are" and consider
that muslo when tha hymn books of all
th churches are full of noble examples
of harmony free for the use of any one
Is a reflection on the musical Intelligence
of that community.
To chronicle the arrival In town of fh
author of that abominable substitute for
music as If he had done something good
Instead of committing a crime against
aesthetics Is the limit. Of course, the
grade of muslo fits the grade of language
that "Billy" Sunday uses, but It Is a dis
couraging outlook for the growth of In
telligent musical appreciation In Omaha
that such a maudlin traveaty on music
should be taken at ita face value. The
whole Sunday performance, muslo and
all, is a reflection on the good taato and
common aense of the community. '
"Those on the right aide will sing th
first two lines. "Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tlnk,
tlnk, tlnk.' Those on the left wlU sing
the next two lines, 'Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
tlnk. tlnk, tlnk.' The choir will sing the
next two lines, 'Tinkle tinkle, tinkle, tink,
tin, tlnk,' and the last twenty rows, a
little late, but there Just the same, 'Tin
kle, tinkle, tinkle, tlnk, tink, tink." Then
Brother "Rody," who hatea himself so,
will accompany the double-barrel piano
with the chorus, "Umph, umph, umph,
umph, umph, umph."
It certainly Is an elevating musical per
formance. . R. C, B.

MCCOOK. Neb., Oct. 1,-To the Editor
of The Bee: Can there not be made a
rational and satisfactory statement of
International ethics that will satisfy the
conscience of America and th world as
to the selling of supplies by us to the
warring nations? I think there can. We
have enjoyed a long term of peace and
trade intercourse with .all the world.
Needlea to remark the European war
arose from no acts of ours and called' for
no participation. We very properly pub
lished our neutrality to the world and
went about our concerns. We have con
tinued to sell our products to ail cus
tomers presenting themselves at our
counters, totally without discrimination.
W do not have for sale nor ever have
made or sold any commodity useful only
for war. We have alwaya sold explosives
and projectiles and guns, both large and
smalt, and barb wire and motorcycles
and automobiles and aeroplanes and tele
phone and. cotton and corn and wheat
and beef and pork and shoes. Not an
item named is exclusively useful In war.
Nations have peaoeful uses for them all.
To refuse any of these articles to any
of our customers Involves our Judging
their Intentions and charging them with
Intending Immoral use. They would deny
It. They might admit th use would be for
war, but contend It a righteous war oa
their part. What then? for wars are not
necessarily Immoral on both sldea. To
be In a state of war la not prima, fade
evidenoe of wrong on the 'part ot a
nation. Wars ot defense are considered
honorable by every aane man. Wars as
sisting an ally are clean wara. If the
ally's cause be Just. War to preserve
the balance of power among neighbor
ing nations are abov reproach. If we
denied the warring nation, they would
then trade with ua totally through, their
neutral neighbors, as they do largely
BOW. At that Stage our sentimental
carpers and critic would demand that
we put up our shutters and completely
suspend foreign trade to eacap culpa
bility for th continuance of tha war.
But let ua suppose that dona (and Na
poleon found It Impossible to make auch
unnatural reatrktUma workj would It
stop " the war? Not neceaaarlly.
Not probably. Th war aubalat on
greed and the hate and Jealously and
destruction. Materal means are only
cleans and not causes nor effects. Un
til the hate ia replaced by other anl
mua a fear, pity. aaUtatlon. th . war
will go on. if not In grand -style, aa up
to thla time, then meanly and barbar
ously, to Its end. Tet probacy before
total ruination la reached, the end will
com
. Lt the earpers aod ctlUoa cultivate
patience and composure. let them leara
also this baaio law of all ethics vis: the
law of eelf-prservatlon. It the dlsemploy
ment of our people upoe our farms. In
our factorlea, along our wharves and In
our country houses Is th price that we
must pay for Indulging tha muddled sen
timentality of Senator HJchoock and his
like, then we simply reply that th sane
man ia not tb one who praters his
neighbor to himself, nor the patriot, thu
shouter who would distress his owa coun
try by butting in to foreign quarrels with
doubtful mean and attempa to bring
peace. Nor are auch callow cavtlers poa
aessed of any finer morality or truer sen
sibilities. They are simply muddled. I
would prescribe history and philosophy
for them and a Uttl bromide.
