Germany's Latest Subaea Achievement
The latest German achievement proves that
their submersible vessels can be useful as well
as destructive. The voyage of "Der Deutsch
land" is not a miracle, but an entirely practical
application of the submarine boat to commercial
uses. Under stress of war the Germans have
taken the lead in this one certain method of de
stroying the effectiveness of a blockade by sea,
the U-boat laughing at the sVa forces as the
aeroplane does at the leaguer by land. Applica
tion to the work of solving intensely practical
problems has not entirely divested the German
mind of the quality of imagination. The voyage
of the Deutschland was preceded by a trip from
Bremen to Cartagena, a submersible carrying
a message from the emperor to the king of Spain,
and returning without adventure.
Our government will have a single problem
to settle in the case, that of the character of the
vessel. No good reason appears why it should
not be listed as a merchantman, if it does not par
take of the distinctive characteristic of a warship.
Recognized as a merchantman, the Deutschland
has solved the problem of blockade running. It
will return to Germany, laden with a cargo of ma
terials most needed there, and as other vessels
join In the enterprise, the "economic pressure"
put on the Teutonic allies will lose much of its
force. What this means for the future of the war
is open to wide conjecture.
For the United States it also means .much, a
revival of trade to some extent with Germany
being the most assured outcome. The arrival of
this submarine cargo carrier will put the demo
crats in a decided quandary, for they were just
about to pass a bill putting a heavy import duty
on dye stuffs. Have they learned their lesson,
or will they allow this incident to frighten them
away from their purpose?
In the Matter of "Butting In."
Speaking to the business men at Detroit, Presi
dent Wilson again inveigtted sharply against those
who are "butting in" on Mexican affairs. He did
not specify who these men are beyond the state
ment that they have aroused Mexican suspicions
by undertaking to possess Mexico for purposes of
exploitation. This leads to the inference that
the president's commentary includes all who have
made investment in Mexican enterprise at any
time, and especially those who now hold prop
erty in that country.' These people have well
nigh outworn the patience of the president, in
sisting that he give them protection from the
maranders who have devastated Mexico, especially
wrecking ranches and mines belonging to Ameri
cana. The president has warned Americana on
many occasions to abandon their Interests in
Mexico and come back to the United States,
where they belong, and to give over their fool
ish ventures in the way of developing legitimate
business projects the constitutionalists under
Senor Carranza do not want continued. To the
president, this whole Mexicsn muddle has arisen
because a lot of American citizens have had such
slight sense of their patriotic obligation as to go
to Mexico to engage in trade and industrial- pur
suits. The absurdity of this proceeding is plain
enough to Mr. Wilson, who has pointed it out
many times, and still, finds occasion to do so
because the average American citizen is so dense
he can not see it the same way.
. i.r, The Inheritance Tax. '
Commenting on the new revenue measure pro
posed in congress, the Lincoln Journal character
izes the inheritance tax as "first in importance"
among Its provisions. "It is a small beginning,"
it says,' "but by it the ice is broken and this tax
will prove an easy source of revenue to tap in
future emergencies."
No one will take exception to the justice of
taxing inheritances or that inheritancea are a
proper object of federal taxation, but, if the fed
eral government is to levy such s tax with satis
factory results, it will have to be worked out in
much greater detail. So far, the inheritance tax
in this country has been confined to the different
states with the usual variations in rates and ex
emptions, and the inevitable shifting about for
purposes of evasion, Within the week, for ex
ample, the dispatches have noted that Vermont is
one of the few states which imposes no inheri
tance tax and that the estate of Hetty Green, re
puted to be America's richest woman, is to be
probated and distributed in Vermont, plainly for
the purpose of getting away from tax obligations.
This discrimination between the states can be,
and shoi)ld be stopped by the federal government
taking exclusively to itself the taxation of Inheri
tances and pro-rating back an equitable propor
tion of the collections in lieu of what the states
now or might hereafter rightfully intercept. This
would make the tax uniform throughout the
United States regardless where the deceased
might live or die, and would also give us a single
instead of a multiple tax collection with corre
sponding economy and saving of annoyance and
inconvenience.
It is too bad a well-thought-out scheme of fed
eral inheritance taxation is not to be established
at the outset, for we will hsve to come to it
eventually, and the blame must rest on the un
preparedness of our democratic lawmakers.
, Railroads and Unreadiness.
One of the illuminating sidelights of the pres
ent mobilization of the army of the United States
is the exposition of the unreadiness of the rail
roads. Every regiment so far moved, no matter
where it has started from, has reported delay in
getting off because the railroads were not ready
with cars and other necessities. The southwest
ern system, along which the movement termi
nates, haa been taxed to its very -limit to care for
the traffic suddenly thrust upon it, and yet the
total of men and equipment sent to the border
amounts to a little more than a single army corps.
To be sure, the railroads have tried to take care
of this troop movement and handle at the same
time without disturbance their regular business,
which is abnormally large for the season. This
experience ought to be of much value to the gen
eral staff, both of the army and of the railroads,
in making up plans for future movements. War
operations could not possibly brook the delays
that have held back the state soldiers in the pres
ent instance. ; Another feature of the movement
that should not be' overlooked is that the rail
roads have ransacked storage yards to resurrect
old csrs and discarded equipment tor the use of
the soldiers. Plenty of first-class accommoda
tions have been found available for the uses of
cxeursipnists, while the army has had to take al
most snything.' '. X:;

Storyette of the Day.
A bachelor of considerable wealth was much
ought after by many of the most charming
women of the town in which he resided. Clara
Blunt, a very pretty maiden, was sure she had
brought him almost to the point of a proposal.
"What waa the happiest moment of your life?"
she asked while they were taking a moonlight
troll one evening. "The happiest moment of
my life, answered tht bachelor, with a reminis
cent smile, "was when the jeweler took back an
engagement ring that had been returned to me
and gave me some cuff links in exchange."

No Invasion cl Mko.
North PlstU. Neb., July 10. To the Edi
tor ot The Bee: From recent reporti. Presi
dent Wilgon Is about to call tor 600,000
men and 120,000,000 bond lieu. What for?
It Is well known that Wilson permitted Car
rum to hip arms, supplies and soldier
through United States territory to rein
force himself in northern Mexico against
Villa, compelling Villa to retreat. As re
talliation for this Villa made raids Into
United Statea territory, catch in the United
States garrison asleep and driving off their
stock.
Next comes the punitive expedition to
eatch Villa; 16,000 men and three months'
time have been spent and no Villa caught.
Wilson now proposed to raise 600,000 men
and $20,000,000 by bond Issue to get all
Mexico. What will Wilson do with all
Mexico? And how long will It take Wilson
to get Mexico t
I care not what statements may be made
concerning this move; it cannot be anything
less than invasion for conquest and that
without any expression of public sentiment
from the people otherwise than the indirect
sentiment endorsing Bryan and Ford. Jingo
press and preacher candidates for chaplains,
including some demagogue patriots who are
not going to the front, are shouting for war
and the invasion of Mexico.
Big business interests, both In the United
States and European countries, secured
franchises from the usurper. Diss, covering
the lands which includes all things else. The
native Mexicans have been kidnaped, driven
wholesale from their homes and sold into
slavery in the interest of the invaders. The
Mexican people are now rising In revolt to
drive the invader from their home and
country. Bear in mind that all the Latin
American states do not favor the invasion
of Mexico by the United States, also two
thirds of the people of the United States
are not in favor of it. The first overt act
was by Wilson, when he allowed Carranxa
to ship his troops over United States terri
tory. Without criticism of Wilson's administra
tion, knowing that the complications are al
most insurmountable, it is self-evident that
that 120,000,000 bond issue it a mora im
portant factor In this deal than tht honor
of the United States government.
Big business interests of the United States
and Europe invaded Mexico and secured spe
cial privileges against which the Mexicans
have revolted. Our government was a revolt
from foreign oppression, why not to Mexico
the same right? Did Mexico, or any other
government, interfere in our eivil war to
make as be good?
The struggle in Mexico and Europe by
force of arms is the same in the United
States by political aetion between a "gov
ernment of the people by and for the people"
and government by plutocratic wealth and
religion; that is the real issue take your
choice.
For four hundred years the native Mexi
cans have been revolutionists against Inva
sion by church and state, compulsory; they
are all bandits. But they are democrats.
Of course whoever goes into their mill Is
liable to get ground up. If one does not
want to get ground up, keep out of the mill.
This thing of Invading and conquering
Mexico for plunder Is no Idle dream. De
mocracy la not based upon invasion and
plunder. Carranxa now represents the same
system that Huerta did. Why should Wilson
support Carranxa now? Does Wilson know
what he is supporting?
Of course we are for preparedness, for a
censorship by a one-man power in time of
peace. There la no declaration of war- why
invade a Mexico with whom we are at peace
,by treaty? If we can't catch Villa in four
months with 16,000 soldiers, how long will
it take to catch all Mexico and probably sev
eral more Latin-American statea. with half
a million soldiers? And what will we do
with them when we get them ?
This government can best protect Its
honor by staying on Its own soil and mind
ing Its own business. But if we must fight
turn the government over to farmers and
blacksmiths and send politicians and preach
ers to th front. ' LUCJEN 8TEBBINS.
Ho to Relieve His Sorrow.
Omaha, July 10. To the Editor of The
Bea: The Wilaonttes are still calling Wood
row "the sorrowful champion of justice and
humanity." Let us examine his sorrow for
a moment.
On the day when they laid In the grave
the American soldier boys who had fallen
victim to Mr. Wilson's one-time friend, Villa,
at Columbus, N. M., The president played
golf In the morning, was entertained by the
Fiske University Jubilee quaretette In the
afternoon and went to Keith's at night; and
the next morning he departed with his bride
on the Mayflower for a week-end trip down
the Potomac On such a basis Is built the
legent of a president care-worn and bowed
down with worry and sorrow, his heart
bleeding for humanity. I am for relieving
him of his sorrow by electing Hughes.

When tho sun is hot and high.
This la the path a boy calls straight;
Hy every winding way
Where berrlen are or wild birds wait
Or squirrels dart at pltty;
By hanka that bid you nit and cool
Two dusty fet and brown
In the pebbly shallows of the pool
That's on the way from town.
This Is the errand swiftly done.
Ah doing shall ever be;
An ounce of care to the pound of fun,
And an hour that grows to three;
fence to climb and a rail to stride.
With berries to hunt and share,
And a breathlene quarter hour beside
A timid woodchuck's lair.
And this la the thing that a boy calls cart
And lhf thing It ahal! ever be;
An old straw hat that's lout somewhere
In the shade of some far-off tree;
A shirt that's damp or trousers rent,
A bruise or a hornet's sting.
And lagging footsteps choreward bent
In the soft twilights of spring.
So these are the ways that boys all know,
And so may they ever be;
Fancies as fickle as winds that blow,
And dreams aa wide as the sea, s
Heaven above whore tho blue aky smiles.
With no day overlong.
And a whtitle of merry tunes that whiles
A whole world Into song.
