' , ' ' I A War Plebescite in Prospect. The sudden death of Senator Ifusting of Wis consin through an unfortunate hunting accident, regrettable as it is, may have a consequence of value if it gives us a plebescite on the war that will put to test the assertions of Senator La Fol lette, the other Wisconsin senator. In his pal pable efforts to obstruct the war Senator La Fol Ictte has been insisting that he represents the wishes of the majority of the people of his state. The truth or falsity of that assertion no one has yet been able to demonstrate, but the present senatorial vacancy, under the new regime by which the United States senators are chosen by direct vote of the people, invites a contest pre senting this very issue. If the majority of the people of Wisconsin really favor the disloyal at titude of Senator La Follette they should be able to give h:m a colleague who will join with him and agree , with him in all particulars, while, on the other hand, if they want to send a man to Washington to uphold the irm of the govern ment in a vigorous and successful prosecution of the war they should choose a senator who will stand firm for "America first" all the time and against the intrigues and machinations of the kaiser and his emissaries. . We hope the governor of Wisconsin will call a special election at the very .earliest moment to fill the place left vacant by the death of Senator Husting and that the question be made so plain and pointed that the answer may leave no room for double construction. If we can have a straight-out vote in Wisconsin measuring patriot ism and devotion to our country on one side and treacherous backfire for the aid and comfort of the kaiser on the other we will have no appre liension as tohe result.

Fixing the Standard Loaf Waahln'jtoi Poat- ' A. welcome announcement comes from Food Administrator Hoover to the' effect that very soon a standardized loaf of bread will be olaced upon the market. The Federal Trade commission has made an exhaustive study of the cost of producing bread and is about ready to : submit its findings to Mr. Hoover, whereupon he will announce the standard bread formula for the United States and will fix either the price or the weight of the loaf. Bread being the principal food staple in this coun try, it is d-sired to have it sold to the public upon reasonable terms in every part of the land. There fore the first thing to be done is to determine the contents of the loaf.. The same formula is to be used everywhere.' Once the formula is determined it is proposed to fix either the weight of the loaf or the once at which it shall be sold. The experts who have studied the question seem to favor. fixing the wVtght of the lost rather than the. price, their argument: being 1 that if throughout the land bread la made of the same component parts and baked in loaves of identical wcigai pnuuc-KiuuBcni wiu. Kctp.inc price wunin reason. Once the loaf is standardized, the food administration proposes to tell the public just how - much it costs the baker to produce such a loaf, what is a fair margin of profit and what the retail price should be. These facts made public it is be- Iiev:d they will serve to prevent any attempt to place the price above a reasonable, figure. But it ia ttmted that should this clan not work out litis. factority, Mr. Hoover, will recommend the estab lishment o( Civic bread depots in all cities m the United States and thus give the people an oppor tunity- to ouy Bt me minimum price. : , . r The Dublic will view with satisfaction the at. tempt to work out a scheme that will guarantee bread at a fair price.

In no previous war have nervous diseases and disorders been such a dis tinct and alarming problem as they are in this one. Nervous breakdowns, madness, suicides have occurred in such amazing numbers as to suggest the possibility that modern warfare is not the natural occupation of man, even though German. Statistics show that 10 per cent of the total Canadian casualties are nervous disorders of one kind and another. The percentage in the other allied armies has not yet been calculated, buMt is known to be running extremely high, while the same must be true of Austria and Germany. An American doctor who worked with the Red Cross in Germany at the beginning of the war asserts that with every load of wounded brought in from the firing line were many insane and psychoneurotics. BBBaBHBBMBBBMBaiBBBaBaiBHaWaBIPBanSHSjaH Final Drive for Liberty Bonds. An intensified effort is being made this week to secure subscriptions for the new Liberty bond loan, as more than a billion dollars must be sub scribed to attain the minimum figure set by the secretary of the treasury. This sum can be raised, but to do it will require greater exertion than yet has been made. The outstanding fea tures of the present drive are: The government it at war and needs the money and it is the obligatory duty of the citizens to furnish it It will be far better to make a voluntary loan to your own government than an enforced loan to a foreign conqueror. - Unless we win this war we will be at the mercy of Germany. Look to Belgium to see what that means. The wealth Ss here and the amount asked by the government is small in comparison to what is at, stake and has been pledged. We are in a war and unless we win in that war all our wealth, is brought to nothing. Success for Germany means enforced loans, where now the people are only asked to back their own government, which is virtually backing themselves, since the govern ment js theirs. ' , ' The proceeds f the tosn will go to purchase American goods for American uses and every producer, ia concerned in this. To the farmer this-appeal should be most direct. Better se curity for the money can not be' given nor could a more liquid form of investment be devised. A government bond is the "quickest" asset known. It is up to the nation now to go over the top , with the boys who have joined tne colors and show them that' the wealth- of America; is willing to do its share of the fighting. ,.t. ; ' The Kaiser's Messageto the .Turk.. Kaiser Wilhelm's address, complimenting the Turk on "immortal, glorious deeds," appeared on the same page with -an account of atrocities com mitted by the Turks against helpless people. Mil lions of people, now starving in the countries over which the Seljuk extends his malignant sway, sup ported by the strong arm of Germany, will won der at the ruler who talks of extending the "peace ful work of kultur." Already these unhappy vic tims of "kultur" have tasted a fate more bitter than death and the end is not yet. The un speakable horrors of me Turkish campaign must be known to the German high command and re sponsibility for them rests in Berlin rather than in Constantinople. Piteous cries to America for relief are heard by Germans, who turn a deaf ear. Nowhere on ( earth, has "kultur" shone irr more horrid light than where the Turk has followed its promptings. Talk of peace without victory is empty and hollow where these are. concerned, for the blood of innocents must not call in vain, and justice will not be done until the power of the Turk for murder and rapine, slaughter and pillage Is forever broken. . Russian Program for World Peace. The program for world peace outlined by the Russian soldiers and workmen is characteristic of an organization devoted to the doctrine of nonresistance and ia founded entirely on ideal istic conceptions of world relations, rather than on accepted principles of justice. Dreamers of Petrocrad, who still futtlely oppose resounding phrases to the array of armed force, utterly fail to appreciate the present situation of the world. Their ideas of economics found expression in resolutions demanding the abolition of capital and now their political genius leads them to simi larly extravagant sentiments with regard to poll tics. ' s ."v What the Russian "delegates ask for may partly be established in time, but not nntil order has been restored to the world. To bring about peace requires stern attention to the prosecution of the. war,. something the socialistic theorists of. Petrograd seem to have forgotten. The Allies are not dealing with foes devoted to the ideals o! peace, however practical and attractive such, plans may be, but are moving against a nation whose genius is for war and whose energies are bent to conquest and subjugation, Tha safety of hu manity cannot at this .moment be secured By the adoption of resonant resolutions, but only by bringing a proud and powerful people to real iztng sense of its obligations to the world. President . Wilson has voiced the hope that Russians may become educated in democracy, that they may -enjoy the full fruits of their liberty.- While this course of instruction is pro ceeding others of the allied forces of freedom must continue the war with little regard to the world program prepared by the Petrograd coun cil. Kerensky's words, "Russia wants peace by right, but we will never bow our heads to force" are more in line with the needs of mankind. With all its scientific preparation for war Ger many had not anticipated any trouble with nerves. It was a totally new problem and one for which no provision had been made at all. The nervous cases were sent to the base hospitals along with the surgical cases and received scant attention. They were of no interest whatsoever to the sur geons, naturally, but a great nuisance, interfering with the provisions for other patients. As soon as possible they were removed to the evacuation liospitals or convalescent homes where they were kept for a few weeks and then sent back to the front. Within a short time they would oe back in the base hospitals again. This Red Cross doctor says he knew of one case that went through this procedure three times before it was discovered that it was useless to return him to the front . Then the government ordered a psychiatrist stationed at every base hospital to take care of such cases, which greatly expedited matters. If a man were insane he was sent to an institution; if merely feeble-minded he was put on some sim ple duty in the home guard; if a neurotic he was taken off the firing line and if he turned out to be a slacker, able but unwilling to fight, he was given hard labor about the fortifications or on the military roads. Thus each case was treated in dividually. What Germany learned at the beginning of the war, of course, every other belligerent learned, too. It was not. long before France began to take preventive measures by turning each recruit over to a psychologist before sending him to the front There was not time enough to analyze the complexities of a man's mind. So the French psychologists divided the cases broadly into four groups the gastro-intestinal, muscular, nervous and respiratory. Duties entailing hardship and prolonged physical strain were assigned to men classified as gastro-intestinal cases; the muscular type was assigned to hard work and continuous labor, while positions requiring quick thinking and extraordinary spurts of energy were given to men of the nervous group and the respiratory individ ual was employed chiefly in the aviation corps.. This is still the trench classification, accord ing to one physician who has lately returned from France, although the examination of recruits fall ing into the "nervous" group is much more care ful than it was at first And, even so, the French medical corps is said to have, need of every psy chiatrist it can get to treat the large number of nervous cases that appear with every ambu lance of wounded.. , As for Canada.' the splendid system of mili tary hospitals in that country is due chiefly to its early encounter with disordered nerves. When war first broke out all was contusion m Can ada. Canada had not anticipated war; It had no army, no navy, no munitions plants and no mili tary hospitals , to speak of and all these things had to be created in a hurry, as was tne case in the United States. Ihere was no attempt to create any particular system until those first nerv ous cases started coming in. and something had to be done with them." ..... Now Canada s method of handling-its wounded f! an example to the whole world. . Wheft Cana- dian troops are shipped back to be mended they are at once examined by a board of medical men, psychiatrists and psychologists, which diagnoses their cases. A man afflicted with tuberculosis is not sent to the same hospital with a man having a gun wound in his left shoulder. ,' He is sent to a tubercular sanitarium. The man with the gun wound is sent to a surgical hospital. . Insane sol diers are put in charge of expert psychiatrists in the military insane asylums; feeble-minded sol diers are educated; the blind and crippled are re educated and nervous disorders are taken care of in special hospitals. . ; So important has the business of choosing the proper job for each man become that extensive studies are now being conducted by many uni versities on the psychology of modern warfare. une learned professor is at present making ex tensive researches into the psychology of gun nery, tor example, ana another is studying the psychology of aviation. A man who operates an airplane often controls the destiny of many lives, as well as quite a bit ot valuable property, and should not be chosen for the job carelessly. It is when the men come back from the front wounded or mentally deranged that the duties of the military psychiatrist begin. He must diagnose and prescribe for each case. This is often dim cult, for in this war a number of peculiar mala dies have appeared as startling discoveries to sci ence.: Among these is the "malingerer," who de liberately simulates insanity or epilepsy in order to escape duty at the front The European psy- t . . i i i . . i A i i : cniauiSi nas ncati wun mis type vy treating nun with ice baths and straight jackets, which usu ally cure him of his insanity. ... Of all the cases that of the neurotic presents the most difficulties. He is the man who breaks under the strain and is hardest to cure. Euro pean psychiatrists believe that all of neurotic tendencies should be kept away from the front. "The fatigue of long marches,", says Dr. E. Mur ray Auer, formerly of the Twenty-third general hospital, B. E. F., France, "exposure, worry over home, the monotony of trench life, the fear of failing in his duty in crisis, the morbid anticipa tion of a charge, of the ground opening beneath him to engulf him all of. these tend to fan any neuropathic predisposition into flame." - Mexico shows gratifying signs of lining p with the western world for liberty and democracy. Not because Mexico can do much to advance the cause. It is welcome as a symptom of returning sanity. f . . .,' ' Hustling Boy Scouts glimpse the future busi ness man and salesman.

To the Editor of The Bee: The editor of The Bee asks its readers to express their views on tha proposed $2,250,000 school bond issue. As a taxpayer I am glad to endorse Mr. Haynes' views on the said issue. There are so many good reasons apparent to all that outweigh the ne cessity at this time for this outlay that it is hardly debatable. A few speakers at the improvement clubs will soon end the chance ot car rying the bonds. S. ARION LEWIS. "Akin to religion, a very vital part of religion, is patriotism- love of country, obedience to its commands, warm interest in its welfare. The hour has come for the Christian people of Amer ica to give evidence of the divine faith that is within them by giving evidences of the patriotism that is theirs. . ' - - ! The words are from a letter .addressed .by Archbishop John Ireland to 'the clergy-of the diocese of St. Paul in which the aged prelate di- rected that pleas be made at the several masses of Sunday, October 14, for the purchase of Liberty loan bonds by parishioners. - ..' In the course of his letter Archbishop Ireland observed that it was unusual to urge financial in vestments from the pulpit in connection with a religious service, but he justified the departure in this instance on religious as well as patriotic grounds. He tonceived it to be a fulfillment of the will of God for every citizen to support the American government in its present stress and peril This support could be given in no better way by those who are denied the privilege of go ing to the front than by the purchase of bonds eommenitirate with the means of the buyer. : On this postulate, that for the American people religion and patriotism are akin, men of all church creeds are well aereed. Nothing could be more significant of the spirit and high purpose that actuate the people of the United States in this war than the rearing of huge billboards on the trreunds of Roman Catholic Protestant and other churches and the posting thereon of urgent pleas for the purchase of Liberty bonds. Jew and Gentile have a common hope and prayer that what America strives for will prevail. In this hope and prayer there is no cant, no halting scruple. Our religion ij the better for our patriotism, our I patriotism he better for our religion. , with an unknown spoken ot by an other party.

To the Editor of The Ree: Replying to the question in the Protestant minister's letter, "Of what kind is the patriotism of our .Ministers' union in Omaha?" I wish to answer that it is questionable to say the least. Rev. -Mr. MeCluug has no defense to offer other than that this anony mous letter is not entitled to consid eration. Rev. Mr. Leavltt, president of the union, defends the action in choosing Rev. Mr. Baltzty as speaker at one of their meetings by saving that "To have canceled him would have been an uncalled-for insnlt." To my mind, Mr. Baltzly insulted the United States and President Wilson when he said, "This is Wilson's war. This is an unrighteous war." If this quota tion is correct, would it not have been the duty of the Omaha ministers in meeting assembled to have called Mr. Baltzly to account and to have de manded a retraction of such un-American statements? Dr. Holovtchiner rightly calls the Rev. Vassilolf (a guest of the minis ters) a snake in our bosom, whose as surance to the ministers that "The Germans are too strong to be beaten," called for no protest. I take it they believed him; and if so, they make false prophets out of President Wil son, Secretaries Baker and McAdoo, and others of our leaders. To my knowledge, one of the mem bers of the Ministers' union, on being questioned last spring where his flag was (when everybody who had one nalleU it up or displayed it hi some way), replied that it was In his attic; and that flag ia there yet And further, when some genuine and true Ameri cans expressed their conviction" that the allies should win, he was aston ished at their confidence, and began to prate about the civilization and "kultur" of -Germany. , One of my comrades, last winter, attempted to convince me that Germany deserved to win, to which I flung the defy that it such culture brought such inex pressible results, to hell with it! Indeed, the patriotism of the Omaha Ministerial union is below par; and certainly, some ot their leaders have given aid and comfort to the enemy who, according to reliable witnesses, have nailed babies to barn doors, cru? cified some of their prisoners of wai, sunk without leaving traces thou sands of innocents, violated women of all ages, and at times, by command of their officers, made themselves guilty of unspeakable crimes. (loser Inspection Needed. Omaha, Oct 22. -To the Editor of The Bee: Since the entrance of the United States into the world war and the subsequent campaign for conser vation of food and materials, it strikes me that this would be an opportune moment to call attention to the enor mous waste that goes on in our land In. the matter of socalled manufac tured goods that are on the market which are priced low and which are made to sell. Many items Of wearing apparel, -household furnishings,; etc., are worked off onto an unsuspecting public that are not worth taking home and fall to pieces, before they can be used. It seems a shame that labor and materials should be wasted on an article that is of no value to any one after reaching the purchaser. Even in the matter of buildings especially homes how many times have we heard the expression "it was built to sell," and how a year or two exposure to the elements has made new homes look likev barns? And . . . ... t 1 o i.ctt in 9 ilif ferent form would hav proved a, blessing.- Along similar lines, it might m pointed out there are many socalied food preparations on the market that have no food value. Docs it not seem too bad that the labor and materials going into those foods should be wasted, when the same labor and ma terials used in another way would be of real benefit .to the public? The government has inspection of certain branches of our industries at present and the time may come when the welfare of the people as a whole will demand that this inspection must be extended to cover the above.
