Through the Swisa foreign office word reached Rev. Jamea Couch, pastor at St. Francisville, III., that hia wife, visiting her father in Germany, "was shot at sunrise. Friday morning, May 11." It is supposed that Mrs. Couch, in writing to her husband, incautiously expressed her known dis like of the Hohenaollerns. and that the censors got the letter and aealed her fate. : One police aergeant and four patrolmen of St Louie were canned last week for offensive legis- Utive activity at Jefferson City last winter. Un able to aecure a salary boost at home the cops sent a committee to the legislature, together witn an exsense fund of $13,000. The latter talked quietly and persuaaively among the aolons and persisted in talking long after adjournment. The newspapers eventually sniffed the slush fund and let out a scream. Five fallen stars comprise the mortality record to date.. Life in the "paradise of the Pacific." common ly known as Hawaii, aeema as susceptible to war influences aa the mainland.

The reach of the dollar is not what it once waa; Island politicians admit the eeoote need more money, ana announce their readiness to act aa distributors. To start with the territorial aolons desire a salary raise from $600 to $1,000 a year. If congress concedes the uplift the mtuation will be saved and paradise radiate ita old-time glory. Kaiser's Dream of World Empire. Chief Censor Creel must have found time to read Bernhardi's book, for the chief item of newa aent out from Washington Sunday night reada like a review of that much referred to pros pectus of Prussian plans. Nothing novel or es pecially alarming ia to be found In this "an nouncement of the dream of world empire nuraed by the German kaiser. It has been known to in ternational politicians for many years; in fact, tittle effort haa been made- to conceal it from the world. The pretentioua tour to the Holy Land by the kaiser and hia announcement of protecto rate over Turkey was in some ways notice to the world at large that the Berlin-to-Bagdad line was not part of a circumscribed plan of development Therefore, the present announcement can hardly claim attention because of Its being a recent dis covery. Such air ambition haa rilled the minds of great rulers for tbousanda of years. The lust of power, greed for possession, sheer delight in conquest, varioua motives have spurred them on, and his tory Is full of the namea of warriors, listed as "conquerors," who have nearly if not quite placed the world under subjection. Such conquest has alwaya been the hope and inspiration of militar ism, aa the term ia now understood. It does not contemplate the peace of the people, save as they are aubjugated and brought under dominion, and the world can only be made safe for democracy by successful resistance to the scheme of empire. William the Second of Germany ia not the first to dream these dreams of world domina tion, nor is he likely to be the last. He ia only the latest, and his vision of a Prussianized world ia about dispelled. But the people must realize that now, aa ever, "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and only those who are ready to pro tect it will ever enjoy the boon. Teaching the Oirli to "Can" Things. One of the lost arta of American housekeep ing Is to be revived in some degree; canning will be reatored to Its once prominent place on the domestic program. Surplua foodstuff of the early aummer must be preserved for winter use and a considerable proportion of the responsibility for thia is to be placed on the housewife this season. This applies not alone to fruits, but to the coarser articlea of diet Preservea, jellies and jams, "butters" and the tike are good and will be looked to; but vegetables also must be given consideration. A campaign of instruction along these tinea is to be carried on under direction of the University of Nebraska, to the end that best methods of canning and preserving vegetables be made known. Systematic work of this sort among the women of the state ahould have for Ita re ward great stores of wholesome food for-the com ing winter, saved from the early summer gardens, and consequently increased surplus from the fields of the state to be aent abroad. In this connection the women folks should heed the warning that cans are acarce and therefore they should save every sort of receptacle that can be used to contain vegetables or fruits for the fu ture. This is part of woman'a work for the na tion. Nebraska Board and Interstate Commerce. The Nebraska Railway commission is to be congratulated on having discovered it haa no authority over interstate commerce. Its reluct ant admission of this, limitation to its activity., may presage greater attention to work it can control. The board's "present position contrasts strongly with the attitude it assumed throughout the campaign last year, when the democrata per sisted In' asserting the right of the state to con trol interstate business. Tha republicans were abused lot their stand on the question and ac cused of surrendering the dearest item in -the whole list of states' rights, but it seems the demo crats, aa always, had their headlight on behind again. Meek submission by the board to federal authority at this time may be merely a patriotic outburst, but Its attitude may have been forced by a decision from the United Statea supreme court that interstate commerce ia beyond state regulation. With this point settled and the through business of the railroads turned over to the Interstate Commerce commission, the Ne braska body can find plenty at home to occupy its attention. Council to Co-ordinate Effort .The Nebraska conservation convention, which opens in Omaha this evening, is really a council to co-ordinate effort. Americans just now are engaged on the most gigantic undertaking they ever aet about, a work that makea all their other achievements seem small that of arraying and concentrating all the mighty power of the republic on the one center of war. Thia task must be accomplished in the shortest possible time and it ia the several apparently diaconnected efforts look ing to that end that give the appearance of con fusion. Our national geniua for organization is undergoing its supreme test and those who are cloaeat to the center feel it will not be found wanting. Nebraskans have a great part to play in the work ahead, because from this state the world expects an immense store of food of all kinds. The council that ia now to be held haa in view this demand and will consider plans for meeting the requisition. Delegates chosen rep resent every dasa of citizenship and the leaders in the work are men who are famlliar with the re sources of the state in every particular. The deliberationa of thia body ahould be of value, if It only serves to stimulate and maintain the en thusiasm of the people in the business now be fore them. An emphatic declaration of loyalty to the gov ernment by American citlzena of Polish descent accords with the history of the people. In all Eu rope no other nationality haa experienced greater wronga and suffered the tyranniea of grasping dynasties. They realize what liberty meana to mankind, and their expressions of undivided al legiance breathe the aincerity born of relief from monarchial tyrants. 3 I "The Wolf of Wall Street" David Lamar, is one of the three plotters convicted in the federal court of New York. In timea past congress and Wall Street tried in vain to give Lamar the hook, but he proved too slippery for the hunters. The court have him cornered now, but them it no telling what will, happen when lawyers take his appeal beyond Naw York.

It seems to be agreed among political observers that the conference of European socialists, which has been called by the Russian revolutionists to meet at Stockholm, ia indicative of a new force affecting interna tional affairs. It ia atated by some that this conference foreshadows rising of the European proletariat to end the war. That, it appears, ia rather more than the so cialists themselves expect of the meeting. , So cialists in this country who hsve closely fol lowed the development of the movement in Europe say that the Stockholm conference will probably not accomplish much toward making peace because none of the belligerents wilt be adequately represented. The Russian socialists have issued a call for another conference to be held in Russia for the specific purpose of dis cussing terms of peace, and this conference, they say, provided the Russian radical government holda together, may have a very important in fluence in world affairs.. There is no doubt of the impetus which has been given to European socialism by the success of the Russian revolution. In autocratic Ger many, Scheidemann, the leader of the social democrats, and Lebedour, the leader of the radical socialists, have risen in their places and threatened the government with revolution un less it will renounce its claim for indemnity and conquered territory. This is rather more in the way of defiance to government than would be tolerated in the United States. The German chancellor is openly catering to the radicals, and the "junkers," or landed aristocracy of Germany, who are the most conservative element in the nation, are threatening to withdraw their sup port from the government unless it renounces its new progressive tendencies. In the German Reichstag the socialist party before the war was the strongest one repre sented, having 138 of the 397 membera. Ita strength remains about the same, but the Rus sian revolution haa inspired it with a new solid arity and aggressiveness. The growth of social ism in Germany may be gauged from the facts that in 1871 the Reichstag had two aocialist members, in 1881 it had thirteen socialist mem bers and in 1890 it had thirty-five. In England the recent atrikes are attributed to the same unrest which seems to be running through the masses of every European country and the radical thinkera who lead them. In France the socialist organization haa greatly strengthened since the war and ia threatening the control of the Chamber of Deputiea by the more conservative wing. In 1914 the socialists and independent socialists had 130 members in the chamber out of a total of 602. It is evident from these facts that the so cialists are a real force in the belligerent coun tries, and that any co-operative movement of them, led by the socialist government of Russia, would be a formidable thing. The obstacle to such a movement liea in the fact that in all of the belligerent countries patriotism has proved stronger within the socialist ranks than that "in ternationalism" which ia the spirit that the so cialist would in theory substitute for devotion to national interests. Thus the French socialists, although demanding that thejr own government shall restate its aims in the present war, have announced that they will not participate in any conference with the German aocialists until the latter have used their power to withdraw the German claim to Alsace and Lorraine. They will not, therefore, participate in the Stockholm conference as a national party, although a mi nority of them may aend representatives All of the socialist parties believed in the desirability and feasibility of universal peace. World socialism before the war claimed 30,000, 000 adherents and 11,000,000 votera. Many so cialists believed, that the international atrength of their parties,' waa. great enough to prevent a world war. But the world war was in full swing before the socialists could take any steps or even express an opinion. They discovered that, what ever they might have done in the way of creat ing sentiment against war, they certainly had no machinery wherewith to prevent governments from making war. ' But as the war went on the socialists' began to perceive that out of the very cataclysm they had aought to avert were emerging certain bene fits to their cause. Thus socialists have con tended for government control of the meana of production in order to prevent the accumulation of private wealth. And in nearly all of the bel ligerent countries, including now the United States, the governments have been forced to assume an increased control over the production of fooda and machinery and clothea for the sake of economy and efficiency. This the socialists regard a a demonstration of the soundness of their theories. But the aocialists still stand by their respec tive governments. The Stockholm conference will be merely a meeting of the Russian revolu tionists, the socialists of the neutral European countries and such representatives of the mi nority socialist partiea of the belligerent coun tries aa are able to obtain passports from their governments. It is stated that the socialist party of the United States will not take part in the confer ence. So far only one American socialist is known to have applied for passports for the pur pose of attending the conference. That one is Jamea E, Howe, the so-called "millionaire hobo" and president of the International Brotherhood Welfare association. Mr. Howe was required by the State department to sign a paper saying that he would not used his influence toward the mak ing of any separate peace by Russia. He waa further informed that his ahip would sail by way of Halifax, where he might be further questioned by representative of the allies, who would have the right to detain him if they aaw fit Strikes in War Time -Naw York Journal al Comnterce The secretary of labor in the president's cab inet, officials of the American Federation of La bor and the Council of National Defense have had to work together to avert a threatened strike in the Pennsylvania coal fields. They appear to have aucceeded through some promises of better wages and improved conditions, bur there is no way of enforcing voluntary agreements brought about by official intervention and influence. In a time like this, when so much depends upon regular and well conducted meana of trans portation and distribution of many kinds of sup plies, there ought to be aome authoritative and effectual way of preventing strikes in employ ments affecting important public interests. We are now in the war and the government needs a fidelity to its interests and its support that can be enforced. Great Britain at the beginning of the war had much difficulty in putting a atop to strikes which were costing lives and large losses of property, and imperiling national interests of great mo ment There had to be imperial legislation in what i known aa the defense of the realm act to put a stop to this. With a good deal of difficulty the object was substantially attained. But there have just been some local strikes in munitions works which brought out a warning from the sec retary of the Ministry of Munitions, created early in the war, of the serious consequences that may be incurred. Those inciting or leading to a stop page of work in munition factoriea in England are liable to a penalty of servitude for life, or -a ahorter term at the discretion of the court It ia to be hoped that workingmen of the United States wilt vindicate the principle of dem ocratic self-government by showing fidelity to it and giving it loyal support in a time like this. In doing so they should be fairly supported by their employers and not have to be subjected to com- fulsion in the face of any reasonable demands, .mployers and employes ought to be at one in aupporting the government in the exercise of ita war power.

"No. I'm not. I know what I'm talking about She's simply head over heels In love with him." "How do you know that?"

To the Editor of The Bee: The Board of Director of the Young Woman's Chriatian asso ciation wish to express their great ap preciation of the splendid eervice vou rendered in giving publicity to the summer camp sampaign through the column of your newspaper. MHU. ALLEN KOCH, Corresponding Secretary. Prayers Good and Bad. Norfolk, Neb., May 19. To the Edi tor of The Bee: Crop prayers by farmers for war-winning provisions, Inventors' petitions for devices to cop with deep sea perils and the host of lesser invocations for "my way right or wrong" must all go unanswered, ac cording to the conditions laid down in the Christian oracle. We read there: "God heareth not sinners." Moreover It says: "They think they shall be heard for their much speak ing." Therefore (my disciples) "pray after this manner," vl.: "Our Fa ther who art In heaven, revered (or hallowed) be Thy name, Thy king dom come Thy will be done upon the earth aa It ia in the heaven, etc." Alas! How short of this model we see the present measurements. Evi dently, like the prophe's of Baal, "their God has gone on a long Journey." The libel of centuries Is soon to be re moved from the name of the Al mighty aa a real God of Love now waiting for man's extremity to be hit. opportunity to bring about "the de sire of nations." Jewdom restored is the Bible hope of the world for ever lasting peace. JOSEPH GREIO. Popularity of Thin Paper Books. New York, May 17. To the Editor of The Bee: When I arranged for the editorial organisation which created the new Encyclopaedia Brltannica, and when the work was ready for pub lication both in this country and in England, I Issued the book In two forms one printed on thick paper, which waa the usual form in which the Britannica had alwaya appeared, the other printed on India paper. My ob ject In UMng this remarkably thin pa per was to so reduce th bulk of the volumes that people could hold them and use them just as they would any other book that is, without the slightest effort. I recognised that the use of India paper was a tremendous Innovation. It was an experiment pure and simple. Some of my friends in the publishing world in London laughed at the idea: others said it was certainly worth trying out, nut none said it would be rucessful. We let the public decide the ques tion for themselves. We offered to sell the book in either form, and you can Judge' of the success of this en tirely new way of issuing the Brltan nica by the fact that our records show that 97 per cent of our subscribers purchased the Brltannica printed on India paper. The other 3 per cent were libraries. We now find it Impossible to get any more India paper on account of the war. Therefore we have to announce the end of the Brltannica printed on India paper. Hereafter anyone who wants the Brltannica will have to be content with the thick paper. Now what I have said above would not Justify you In printing this letter were It not for the fact, admitted by all scholars, that the Encyclopaedia Brltannica Is an educational work. If its publication ia to be continued, and If we are compelled by circumstances over which we as publishers have no control, to Issue it on thick paper. It is a question whether It can be made a commercial success, is view of the overwhelming preference on rne pan of buyers for the India paper volumes. For this reason I hope that you will publish this letter as a matter of pub lic Interest to your readers, so that they will not fall to be apprised of the fact H. E. HOOPER, President Encyllopaedla Brittannica. World Need Preacher. Omaha, May 18. To the Editor of The Bee: I have read in The Bee'a Letter Box Charles Hooper's letter en titled "More Ministers," and heartily agree with him. This world la in great need of more ministers, not the kind that preaches for the almighty dollar, but the kind that preaches for the good of men's souls. The real splrlt-niled minister, the kind that can teach the people the. old-time Bible salvation, that's the kind this world needs. ... A great trouble of most of the min isters of today is that they lack the real fire and seal of the Holy Spirit; they have a fine college education and are fine talkers, but their sermon ar dry and lifeless. We want something that will stir the people as In the days of the apos tles. If there wer five real spirit niled ministers in each city of the United States I dare say thi would be a very different world. There would be more Bibles read and less novels, and a few less penitentiaries. The propheciee of the Bible are faat being fulfilled, and, according to the scriptures, the end of time is near; yea, even at the door.
