It is all right to hope for early peace, but in the interval don't stop preparing for war. China's declaration of war against the central powers makes the world vote practically unani mous. - Fortunately for school history, Mary's little lamb graced the scenery long before feeders bulled the market. Pope Benedict hews closely to his line of duty. He is an exemplar of peace and preaching peace is his business. With live pork escalating beyond the. $17 mark, nothing short of a limousine can be trusted to "bring home the bacon." It is inferred from Brother Maupin's intro ductory remarks that he is riot a real estate agent. How about a realtor? dne great advantage of the times is the re duced percentage of wrong guesses in saluting men as captain, major, colonel or general. The etiquette of trench warfare, as expounded to Americans on the spot, simmers down to seven simple words': "When you spot a head shoot it." A little thing like a cabinet ruction in Eng land is nothing more than a twenty-four hour sensation in these clays when sensations are every day occurrences. Next Talk of billions at Washington flows so com monly thart a $28,000,000 river and harbor bill slipped through congress as easily as a drop of rain loses itself in a deluge. Growth of the World League Idea. Xo one can fail to be struck with the fact that, of the numerous peace plans put forward from various sources, they all, almost without ex ception, include some sort of an international tribunal to adjudicate differences between na tions and to en force 'its decrees as well as the terms of the peace pact as a preventive of re current resorts to arms. This is the basic idea of the League to Enforce Peace, for which the propaganda has been for several years under way, even before the present war outbreak, and it is plain that this idea, though by many flouted as visionary, is gaining in strength and acceptance everywhere. It is seen that controversies between indi viduals are nowreferred to courts or arbitrators in place of the old gauge of battle and that judg ments of courts are carried out because they carry the force of law, which in its essence is all the force of the government, behind them and it is hard to understand why disputes between nations should not be peaceably settled in much the same way. At the worst, an international court, with a league of nations behind it, could supply the machinery constantly ready to relieve tension otherwise likely to lead to war, even though at times this machinery might break down or even fail altogether to meet requirements. Questions involving national honor or Integrity, we are told, are not arbitrable, which may or may not be true, but questions involving national honor or integrity are seldom presented fa precipitating a war, but more often found after the fact as pre text or justification. A nation of world powers to enforce peace is perhaps not coming over night, but thoughtful people who are keen ob servers are being more and more convinced that it is steadily coming closer and closer. It is evident the Vatican did not consult the Quirinal before launchingUhe status quo. Italy vvauia it uiiuiioiuuu niav 11 is iiui iigtimig iui a debate at the end of the road. . Silver is climbing, but still has not reached the point, where an ounce of the white metal will exchange for a bushel of wheat, as a distinguished Nebraskan once assured us it always would. London is sure the Teutons are back of the pope's peace plan. If so, it shows weakening somewhere, for just compare present proposals with the kaiser's original world-conquest aims! ' Distinguished members of that Japanese mis sion may count on a warm welcome in . Omaha whenever they stop off. Just let us know and the reception committee will be ready on short notice. Silver persists in climbing to unheard-of alti tudes, lending signs of reviving life to mines long abandoned. If the pace keeps up mine stock certificates may become too valuable to serve as wall decorations. ' """" i Bombarding the picket, suffrage headquarters with eggs violates the rules of conservation. Be sides, there is the 'grave risk of smearing fine samples of summer regalia. Washington should practice at home what it preaches to outsiders. Yes, 'our amiable hyphenated contemporary also "scooped" the Minneapolis morning papers published right under the shadow of Fort Snel ling. Minneapolis papers observe obligations of confidence on news matter given them in advance for release at a stipulated time. 'Nuf sedl The federal court at Minneapolis by perma nent injunction puts out of business the black list and other squeezing practices of the North western Lumbermen's association.

Base Ball and Bombs -Philadelphia Ledger- The "ruling passion" for the national game is a 'sort of "strong-in-death" feature of the first weeks of our troops in France and the avidity with which, they started playing may have seemed a matter of sheer frivolity to some who never have much concern for recreation. But it now seems that the French officers who have come into con tact with the American troops as instructors have remarked that they are not only apt as "bombers. hand grenade throwers, which is an indispensable accomplishment for those who are to get to the front and "over the top," but that they surpass the French in the art of getting the bombs where they want them and at a greater distance, too. They ' attribute this unusual dex'terity to their training as base ball fanatics. . , ' This sounds naturalwhen one remembers that aside from the professionals there isn't a village or a region with a corner lot that has not its "nine," and the "nine" its expert twirlers and twisters. Moreover, if criticism be the discipline that produces results and experts, then the frank and vociferous remarks that greet every candi date as a pitcher, the free running comment on his style, good or bad, has its effect not only imme diately when the devotees of the trame are in their teens, but later when they get into various serious occupations, but still know how to pitch a ball that will have all the curves that any well regulated bit of horsehide should have and get over the base as some Casey-at-the-bat strikes out So the baseball practice behind the lines in France when the troops have a chance at recre ation will mean greater expertness in the trenches and the "diamond" will possess a tactical value tnat lew dreamed of. Hence a continued devotion to it wilj not seem so frivolous after all Another Mixup in the Law Books. The proverbial carelessness of lawmakers is again exhibited in provisions of the election law as amended by our late Nebraska legislature in conflict with specific requirements of the constitu tion. Our new election law has for its ostensible object the elimination of presidential electors from the ballot and their appointment by the gover nor and, instead, letting the elector vote directly for the presidential candidates of the opposing parties. Incidentally an attempt is also made to change the method of canvassing the vote, the votes cast for president and vice president going to the state board of canvassers and the votes cast foj-. United States senator, congressmen, re? gents, judges, all state officers and "all questions under the constitution voted upon by the whole people" going to the legislature in its next regu lar session. Whoever framed this law evidently overlooked altogether the fact that the constitution itself pre scribes the method of canvassing the Vote on questions under the constitution voted upon by the whole people when submitted by initiative or referendum. That section of our fundamental law declares in so many words that "the vote upon initiative and referendum measures shall be returned and canvassed in the same manner as is prescribed in the case of presidential, elec tors." Of -course, seeing that we are no longer to vote for presidential electors, there can be no canvass of such a vote and judicial construction will be necessary to tell us whether the method shall follow that of state officers or of the vote for president in all probability being decided, as we see it, in favor of the canvass of the vote for president, even though at the election next year, in which a referfrtditm -Hjejtsrure' is to be submitted, there will 6e "neitfier president' nor presidential electors to be voted for. Fortunately, o unfortunately, we will have an other legislature in due time that should be com petent to straighten out. this tangle! '.u , ' One Result of the Tractor Show. The avowed, purpose of the tractor shows which have been held annually for the Jast sev eral years has been to demonstrate the develop ment of the usefulness of the power machine for farming operations by actual field "tests. When the tractor makers announced at the close of the recent Fremont exhibition that "this would be the last of the kind they indicated their conclu sion that the tractor is now firmly established as a piece of practical farm machinery and that for the future the demonstrations will take place all over the country in the hands of the purchas ers using them regularly for crop planting and cultivation. . " But do those interested realize how much time, money and labor has been devoted to the perfec tion of the tractor to the point of practicability? That .question is asked by an eastern financial writer, who adds, "We would not venture an es timate on how many millions we spentupon the farm tractor before any net returns were real izedif, indeed, any have been realized to this time." It seems therefore that the tractor dem-r onstrations liave, at any rate, convinced finan ciers that the adaptation of farm power presents a profitable opening for capital and that is not the least valuable result Of the effort. j Wanted Better-Trained Cooks. The Minneapolis Journal unburdens some per tinent remarks about the waste from the un skilled cooking which is painfully impressed upon so much of our domestic economy. We are re minded that nearly everything used for human food under ordinary conditions is good before it reaches the kitchen, but its value after that de pends upon the character and education of the cook. While the real object of the culinary art is not only to tempt the jaded appetite, but to efficiently feed the human digestive apparatus, a considerable portion of this foodstuff is made ab solutely noxious and more of it thrown into the garbage can because of its unattractive qualities. In other words, we lose by poor cooking more good food that should be, but is not, both palata ble and nutritive than we miss because of lean pockctbooks. Equally pertinent is the reminder of the more or less prevalent delusion that anyone willing to undertake the task is competent to prepare food for the average table. Altogether too much ex perimental and expensive cookery is going on all the time by people who have neither talent nor training for the work, with inevitable costly, if not disastrous, consequences. We therefore second the motion for greater attention to the indispensible training of the cook 4s one investment of time and money that will pay big and immediate dividends and even warrant the occasional cutting of a melon. Paris Fashions By Frederic J. Haskui New York, Aug. 13. There is one American industry to which the war has proved nothing but a constant source of annoyance, and that is the ready-njade clothing trade. During the last year of war prosperity people have bought nu merous and elaborate clothes, it is true, but sev eral manufacturers have had nervous breakdowns trying to supply them. The first difficulty to crop up after the war was the scarcity of dyes. Manufacturers suddenly had to create demands for entirely new colors in fashions colors that could be made in America. These were principally weird shades of brown and green that did not have the appeal that was expected; dark blue and black were practically impossible for the new American dyers. At this time, however, the discouraging dye feature of the situation was somewhat ameliorated by a new hope that was born in the manufacturing trade. France was in a chaos, plunged into a war for which the country was unprepared. War was the sole interest of Paris. At last the opportunity had come for Americans to design their own fash ions. Now the American clothing trade is older and wiser. It has discovered that while the German dye technique may be duplicated in this country by American chemists, the center of fashions will always be Paris. There are some American de signers, of course, who have created really beauti ful models, but the consensus of opinion among the manufacturers seems to be that when you want a real model you have got to go to Paris. French models are already making their ap pearance on Fifth avenue, while ready-made cloth ing factories are busy turning out hundreds of duplicates. Fortunately, France is as interested in conserving materials as we are,' so that the fall and winter fashions have been made as economical in that respect as possible. Skirts have been re duced to five feet around the bottom, and velvet and velveteen are being widely substituted for wool, which is needed for the soldiers. Fur trim ming is again popular, likewise jet, but the best models are elaborately embroidered. i The principal inspiration in the Parisian fall and winter models seems to have been derived from China and Japan. Many of the dresses are long with a narrowing line at the bottom, the waist line is again normal and the sleeves huge. The tailored dress, with coat of the same ma terial, is to a large extent taking the place of the tailored suit, but the latter is expected to. regain its ascendency by the beginning of the winter season. Street clothing this season is not limited to a few colors. The dye situation is again nor mal, and any number of costumes may be found in various shades of blue, gray, red, brown and green. For evening wear, black is most popular a distinct note of mourning in the otherwise gay Parisian designs. Haven't heard of any pro-German reader stop ping subscription to the World-Herald because of that fierce "glycerine-made-of-human-bodies" story. The kaiserites know that the Hyphen pa per is at heart just the same as it was when it filled its columns with kaiser-worship letters and tickic-the-Oermans editorials and that it is now only playing a role to cover up its former tracks. i; .... s The recent fad for patriotic materials and colors is of purely American origin. This summer khaki suits and street dresses of . wool jersey of the shade of khaki have been worn with great per sistence; an exodus of factory workers at the noon hour reveals a bewildering spectacle of red and white shoes and blue stockings; while bargain hunters on Fifth avenue may obtain jeweled American flags wdrth $5,000 marked' down to $1,200. This is the sort of thing of which Paris could not be guilty. Paris is frank in its sentiment, and proud of it, but it doei not exploit it. Its ideals are sacred. "The clothing trade of, Paris i'9 built en art," said a New York clothing merchant yes terday. "The clothing trade in New York is built on money. There it is the quality of the article to be produced; here it is the quantity of the ar ticle to be sold." "But you would think that American manufac turers would simply buy Parisian, designers," said the clothing merchant's newspaper friend. "Ah, there you have the very thing which illus trates my point," replied the clothing merchant. "They have tried it, and it didn't work. Not long ago one firm hired one of the greatest woman de signers in Paris and brought her over to their headquarters in New York. They paid her a good salary and they intimated that they expected at least three original designs a season. The poor girl couldn't do a thing, and at the end of three months they had to send her back to Paris. She blamed her failure on the lack of- 'atmosphere' in New York." The newspaper man smiled a trifle skeptically, but the clothing merchant was perfectly serious. It was absolutely true, he saidyThere were not the great museums and galleries in New York as there were in Paris, filled with masterpieces of the art of all : nations confiscated by the marauding Bonaparte, but French nevertheless serving as the world', greatest inspiration to creative art. Moreover, the owners of the large maisons did not force their designers. If the,y designed one frock a season, the clothing merchant said, that was considered enough. It was left to them. The clothing merchant was distinctly pro French,' but, so apparently, is the whole Amer ican clothing trade. At this point the editor of a prominent New York .fashion jhcet joined the conversation, and proceeded t'o throw additional light on the subject. The newspaper man wanted to know if the French clofhing houses were en tirely devoid of mercenary instincts. According to the fashion editor, they are not. Tfley are quite willing to make as much money as they can out of American buyers a task which experience: has taught them is fairly easy. "If a young -man plows through mud and rain, braves a barbed wire fence and a savage bull to go to see a young lady, what does the young lady think?" asked the fashion editor. "She thinks she can do pretty much as she likes with him. Well, that is the way it is with Paris and American buyers. If they in sist upon risking the submarine danger in order to see French fashons. Paris is more than willing to accept the tribute." - .," An idea of the tremendous delivery business executed in New York may be had when it is stated that 500,000 persons are employed by it. Very few women these days yjll carry their own packages home. Furthermore, there is a large number of women who "delight in shopping as they would in croquet or billiards and keep the delivery wagons busy hauling back and forth goods which they do not want. It is estimated by one authority . that 23. per. cent of all goods bought in New York are returned. If this waste could be. eliminated, and women would carry their own packages, clothes would be sold at greatly reduced prices, assert the clothing merchants. To this 'several women's or ganizations have replied that they would carry their own packages if the stores wpuld allow "a discount for it, but the clothing merchantshave not taken kindly to the suggestion. They feel thlt at the present time it is altogether a war expedi ent. The women should carry their own packages and thus release a number of men from the deliv ery business. The fact that the stores' expenses would be decreased as the result of such release, they feel, does not enter into the question at all.

Fremont, Neb., Aug. .14: To the Editor of The Bee: I enclose copy of a letter received from Toronto, Canada, which may be of interest -to your read ers. The writer of this letter had a brother in the Queen's Own Rifles for twenty-five years. He started as a private and was promoted from time j to time until he became colonel of the ; regiment. In a letter received a few days, aro from the same writer at Toronto, Can ada, the following: "Yes the Queen's Own have been terribly cut up and also all our other regiments. Of 1.000 men in the Prin cess Pats only sixty-three remain and they were all wounded, but yet others have taken the places. Also the Forty eighth Highlanders were in the thick of it and all original members were cut off and new members added. All these regiments are kept replenished from time to time. We have very many Canadians coming over the Hues to join and even Americans are com ing. Of course, we have very many who come to get extra up-to-date training and I often talk to American hoys who seem very pleased at the in formation they pet fiom our Veturned wounded. They come in large num bers from Fort Niagara for the week end Just for a change and to get posted. I find from many who came back wounded that the artillery is the great aim of many. Of course, it is not so filled with danger as in in fantry as they are always far back. But nearly all who return are deaf. I hope you, will succeed in getting the position you wish and, if possible, would like to see the officers over here to complete their training. Wounded officers are employed for this train ing as they have had the actual ex perience and can instruct officers well, especially to avoid errors they them selves made. It is wonderful how particular the British training officers are. You see all our boys after train ing here fully six months go over and have to finish in Britain before goluJ friends of mine who went with the Forty-eighth Highlanders, were sepa rated for actual duty, four were as signed to a place where they, could be used in a bayonet charge, where others would not be considered fit for that. The idea is to place each where he can do the most good. Two out of the four are dead, but the other two are not only alive, bht have never had a scratch, though they were in seven horrible bayonet charges so far. ihe last being Vensey Ridge. It is a mar vel how some escape even under the worst circumstances. "Young men are becoming so scarce that women have to go out from4h towns and cities to help farmers and in our far west, help is going in from the states. War has made us all bet ter neighbors, and I believe one great change hereafter, will be that all English-speaking people will stand flrmly together for the good of humanity. Our cause is noble and we all have reason to be thankful we are in. it together for the general good." If you can use the above, The Oma ha Bee is very welcome to do po. MILLARD HOPIClNa "You ask about the Queen's Own Rifles here, The original regiment went over seas at the beginning of the war and all or nearly all were killed. Fresh troops are going over every two weeks to keep the ranks filled and tho wounded who are quite beypnU fighting: are coming back on every boat. So far, Canada has sent across about 350,000 men and still goin.tr. In a short time we Will -have an army of half a million on the fighting line and will keep on supplying enough to iold it at that for the. ; remainder of the war. Not a man has been lost yet ia sending all these er. Of courts, every transport carrying troops,, there Are two or more British destroyers accompanying them .over. It is awful to see the-wounded boys returns,' and only those who lose, an arm" or leg 'or otherwise disablecL so thjy c,annot be of use, are 'sent home. Yes we have a great many 'Sammies' here to get full up-to-date instructions be fore going over, and they are well liked and well treated by everyone. So many come from York state on week-end trips to see our camps. The Sammies and Tommies at'e '"y lll e together artd so friendly IjecuuBe they are all fighting for freedom in the world. We have a grand aviation camp (Borden) about sixty -miles from here. It . covers thousands of acres and we see them every day fly ing over here in practice trips. "We make no difference between your soldiers and ours. All are to gether for the one purpose. It is lovely to see the good will. The band of the Forty-eighth Highlanders and about 200 soldiers all in full dress (kilts) are now in New York to get all JJritish-born to enlist and go over sea, and New York is giving them a very warm welcome. What a time of rejoicing we will all have when the war is over and the whole Anglo Saxon race will forever stand together for freedom and justice among all nations. Much good will surely result from this war. The hand "of Provi dence is in it" , MIRTHFUL REMARKS.
