From Debtor to Creditor
A Deadly Combination.
Several fatal accidents, recorded within the
last week, serve to emphasize the danger of the
combination of the unprotected railroad crossing
and the inexperienced automobile driver. How
to divide the blame is hot an easy question. It
is certain that some portion of it rests on each
factor in the problem. Men who are not thor
oughly well equipped to handle self-propelled
pleasure cars set forth with family or friends,
and start careering over the country, usually at
a much higher rate of speed than they would take
if they were better versed in the management of
their machines. When the crisis comes they are
unable to control the car, lose their heads, or
blunder in some way that brings calamity. On
the other side, the railroads have been so used to
sending their fast trains at high speed across the
country, with no care whatever for highway cross
ings beyond the posting of signboards, that they
have lost sight of the fact that some further de
gree of responsibility rests on them, that they
should be required to make the crossings safe at
all times. The dissolution of the deadly combi
nation of inexperienced driver and unprotected
road crossing depends on precautionary action on
both sides. The driver must learn to proceed
carefully, and the railroads must guard their
crossings more closely.
Haw York World
The Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000, floated
in this market a year ago, rested wholly on the
joint credit of the two governments, and the pro
ceeds were equally divided between them. The
present additional British borrowing of $250,000,
U00, like the recent additional French borrowing
of $100,000,000, is further protected by collateral
security of American and Canadian stocks and
bonds and the bonds of a number of neutral gov
ernments of a market value of 20 per cent in ex
cess of the loan.
Our net foreign debt two and a half vein ion
vvas around $5,000,000,000. It cannot be half that
ngure today, and the balance is melting away
rapidly under the continuing vast excess of ex.
ports. So swift a rise of the nation from a debtor
10 a creditor position would be bevond all belief
were not the facta so clearly beyond all dispute.
This brings the total British war borrowings
in the American market up to $550,000,000. Cana
da's borrowings here since the war began total
$120,000,000. Some $430,000,000 has been loaned
to France. $260,000,000 to Russia. J2S nnn nnn
Italy, $10,000,000 to Germany, and $27,000,000 to
neutral European countries. The grand total of
European war loans in this market to date is

Roumania Enters the War.
The declaration of war on Austria-Hungary
by Roumania, while not an unexpected move, is
one of considerable significance. From the first
it has been understood that all the Balkan
countries would be involved in the conflict, and
the fact that Germany held Russia's activity in
forming the Balkan coalition to be one of the
cause leading up to the break, has been con
sidered reason for thinking that when Roumania
did enter, it would be against the Teutonic allies.
Bulgaria's action made this course for Roumania
almost certain, the time to be determined by the
progress of the war.
Roumania will not add greatly to the numerical
strength of the armies in the field, but its frontier
will afford a new line along which Russian troops
can operate against Austria as well as to facilitate
the attack on Bulgaria. This increases the prob
lem of defense for the central powers by Just that
much. That Germany has failed to consider this
element of its great undertaking is not possible.
The advantage to the Entente Allies is that men
who are required to hold back invaders from the
Roumanian front will be taken from other battle
lines, where the Teutonic hosts are now being
sorely pressed. This is the military aspect of
Roumania's action.
Politically, the move is more significant. It
Is simply stated by Premier Tonesco as due to the
"national Instinct," which means that Roumania
covets and probably has been promised a con
siderable area now under government of Austria.
Here is one nation, at least, that makes no pre
tense to service to humanity, to establishing lib
erty, or anything of that sort. It is frankly fter
more territory to govern.
Greece ia no longer being consulted by either
side. Division of sentiment and authority be
tween the king and the leaders of a great political
faction has culminated in such violation of
Grecian neutrality by both sides aa practically de
stroys its standing as a nation. Events may force
the Greeks to declare war on one side or the
other, but such advantage as Roumania may gain
will be denied the Hellenes, who have held off
too long in making their bargain.
Whether the newer moves will have any effect
in hastening peaca can not be said, but it is cer
tain that the problem of the diplomats in the way
of map-making after the war have been further
complicated.
' Another Important Moblllaatlon. '
In these days of world-wide military activity.
it requires troop movement on a plane of national
scope to attract mora than a momentary notice.
but a body now mobilized at Kansas City deserves
and will get attention beyond that accorded even
an army. It Is made up of men whose fighting
days are over, whose work is done, and -ho are
only waiting the call Half a century ago they
were young and vigorous, full of the life of sturdy
youth, and then they were called on to perform
duty of the highest. How welt they fulfilled the
call, how completely they perfected their work,
is written In the growth of the nation. And now
they can look back from the Jummit of life's hill,
and see a wonderfut magnificence along th way
they opened to human progress. The Grand
Army of the Republic will expire by limitation in
time, but while civilisation endure, its achieve

Calls It Safety Lt.
Omaha, Aug. 26. To the Editor of
The Bee: DiHCuusing possible devel
opments In the railroad strike situa
tion, I recently have heard property
owners express the wish that Presi
dent Wilson, in case the railroad
owners permit a strike, would take
forcible possession of the cars and
tracks for the public good In the
same manner as that in which former
President Roosevelt and the United
States army threatened to appropri
ate the anthracite coal fields.
Let me say that this program is
safety last, not safety first, and that
us advocates are anarchists ana Dear
no relation whatever to socialists,
who believe In the public acquiring
the railroads and all other public
utilities in a lawful and orderly way.
A suffering public has no more right
to take forcible possession of private
property than a suffering individual
has. If a public neglects Its own
business and squanders Its own
estate, why should it not pay the
name penalty which It compels an
individual under the same circum
stances to pay?
WILLIS HUDSPETH.
Credit to the Audubons.
Omaha, Neb,, Aug. 27. To the Edi
tor of The Bee; As a member of the
Nebraska Audubon society I wish to
thank you and your newspaper for
your feature story of this Sunday on
the evidences of Omaha's progress In
the study of humanity to birds and
beasts.
Having attended the first meeting of
the Audubons when they opened their
1915-1916 season about a year ago
with ten members and knowing that
by their own diligent and untiring ef
forts they now have over 200 mem
bers and a goodly cash balance in
bank for more constructive field
work In the coming season, I would
point out to you a slight error in that
worthy story mentioned above.
It was the Nebraska Audubon soci
ety, aided by The Omaha Bee and
the other newspapers of this city, that
started the campaign for the conser
vation and better understanding of
oird life here.
Your Sunday story, and I repeat
that It is a dandy, says that Miss Hel
en Thompson, supervisor of manual
training in the public schools, set the
boys to making bird houses, which
were later placed In the parks, and
that "the Nebraska Audubon society
became Imbued with this movement
and the members spread the gospel
of bird study.
Miss Thompson Is a valued and vig
orous member of the Audubons and
I am sure, as a fellow member, that
she will agree that it was the Audu
bons and the Omaha press which
started the movement among the chil
dren, as well as the grownups and
should be given full credit therefor.
A yet more vigorous campaign is
being planned by the Audubons for
the coming season, in which we hope
The Omaha Bee will continue to lend
a hand, as In the past

Bjchareit, the Roumanian capital, stands
in a swampy plain on the Dimbovetsa. It Is
an important commercial center, having- a
population of about 300,000, and covert an
area of four by throe miles. Although Ori
ental In external appearance, it has in late
yeara assumed more and more the aspect of
a European city. It is styled "th city of
enjoyment," from the fact that It is the
residence during a part of the year of the
magistrates and great land owners of the
principalities, and is noted for Its gayety.
During the Crimean war the city was oc

Who Betrayed the Irish People?
Omaha, Aug. 26. To the Editor of
The Bee: Who betrayed the plans for
the liberation of Ireland from the
English government. Upon these in
formers will rest the execrations of
the world. The Irish liberators fought
against the same tyrannical country
against which our ancestors of the
revolution fought. The aims of Sir
Roger Casement and George Wash
ington were identical. The American
torles of Washington's day tried to
betray hira as the Irish torles of our
day have betrayed Casement. I
quote the following from the New
York Times of April 29, 1916:
"The Gaelic American, in its issue
tomorrow, will devote most of its
space to bitter attacks on President
Wilson and his administration. It
was stated that John Devoy, editor
of the paper, had written the editorial
which reads (In part) as follows: .
"The sinking ot the German ship
loaded with arms and ammunition
off the Irish coast was the direct re
sult of Information treacherously giv
en to the British government by a
member of the Washington adminis
tration on the orders of President
Wilson. It was a deadly blow, aimed
at the heart of Ireland, and if it does
not prove fatal, it will not be Wo-id-row
Wilson's fault.
"Wilson's official! obtained the in
formation by an act of lawlessness
a violation of International law
committed with the deliberate pur
pose of helping England, and It was
promptly placed at the disposal ot
the English government whose serv
ant Wood row Wilson is. Forewarned
by this most disgraceful and dishon
orable act ever committed hy aji
American president, the British ieet.
which had been baffled and eluded
by the arms-laden German cruiser,
was sent to the right spot, the cruiBer
was sunk, and the Irish people de
prived of the means of fighting for
their rights and liberties. This was
America's official expression of grati
tude for the splendid services of Irish
men in the revolution, the war of
1812, the civil war and tht Spanish
American war.
"The Irish people here have as
good a right to collect money and
supply arms to their countrymen in
Ireland as J. P. Morgan and the mu
nition manuafcturers have to send
money, arms and munitions of war to
England and her allies. And they
will not be terrorised by the petty
Ciar who Is now King Georsre's vice
roy in the White House. He allows
not only arms on passenger steamers
with, American women and children
on board, but he allows explosives
to be carried In cabins and state
rooms, and this inflammable material
is permitted to come in crates f.-lsely,
labeled and are pasied by nis inspec
tors. Come on Mr. Wilson start your
prosectution of Irishmen for breaches
of neutrality, and between now and
election day you will wish you had
never been born.

Was sitting with his chin upon his breast.

Was anguish, and in quiet was no roiL
Yet, he chuckled, even tn his pain.

He knew what mado the drouth, and why

Was so oppressive; and he also knew
What winds and areas would have to meet.
And by what rules, 'ere healing breezes
blew.
He knew so much that, In that bleathleas
hour,
He saw no help In any "higher pswer."
And I, of course, agreed. He showed me

Of barometric pressures, curly lines
Drawn over this and all adjacent parts
And looking much like astroloirlc signs
But this was science. So I thought It odd
