V " , ' The Dodge county man who would rather huy whisky than Liberty bonds has a sadly dis torted notion of the value of investments, but his mind may be straightened out by his neigh bors. . ' . - The Germans have applied one of their, un pretty names, characteristic of their habits of thought, to the (Yankee soldiers, but through it they recognize Yankee ability to ght, and that counts for something. , ; General Wood's estimate of 5,000,000 men for the American army is in principle accepted- at Washington, and meets the best opinion of his countrymen. Americans are at last waking up ro what the war means. Holland has bravely spoken in reply to Ger many. With the sorrowful fate of Belgium in full view the Dutch reply to William the Im placable that death is preferable to dishonor, and warn him that the choice is freely made. Never, in all its history has The Netherlands tamely submitted to imposition, and it is not likely that an honorable past will now be exchanged for a dishonored future by the burghers who have descended from the Btavians Caesar failed to conquer. . Delivery of Soldiers' Mail. One inquiry now undertaken by congress will have popular support It has to do with 'delay in the delivery .of soldiers mail. Heads of the War and Postoffice departments are "passing the buck," each accusing the other of responsibility for a condition that is not especially creditable to either. Second Assistant Postmaster General Praeger says the War department has withheld information that is necessary to the proper de livery of mail, with corresponding delay and some confusion. This does net apply to private correspondence" alone, but in a large number of cases to official letters, even to orders sent from the War office. The inquiry, is set on foot by the house, which hopes to arrive at a better working basis between the two branches of the government No charge is made that either is willfully at fault, or that either is unwilling to do everything that can be done to get mail through promptly to the men who are serving in France." The whole situation grows out of lack of co ordinated effort and this is to be provided if possible. . ' NEW REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA. Reports of a counter-revolution in Russia, looking to the restoration of the Romanoff dynasty, are not surprising. Until fully verified no judgment can be expressed as to its possible effect. When the overthrow of the czar was an nounced in March of last year, The Bee ventured the observation that it was the beginning of a series of plots and intrigues, and that many months would elapse before a stable government would be, securely established in Russia. That surmise has been verified most amply; if the revolution has failed so far, it has been because of the inherent weakness of the Russian people, due to inexperience rather than incapacity for self-government. It is quite possible that the Romanoff may again assume sway, under the protection of the Hohenzollern, who has all reasons to support a compliant despot rather than to continue dealings with a vacillating rnob. It is equally possible, though not so probable, that counter-revolutionary forces have seized the government without the assistance of the Ger mans. Problems that will arise in either event are many, some delicately complicated, and all to be left in abeyance until order is completely restored. France consumed the time between 1789 and 1871, or 82 years, in making its revolu tion complete and thoroughly founding the republic. tIt is not reasonable to expect Russians to come to order too soon. Woman's Salute for the Flag. Among the thousands of suggestions offered as a standard salute for the flag to be adopted by the women, the women who assumed the onerous duty for The Bee of making the de cision as to which should be recommended se lected one whose simplicity and effectiveness will be recognized by all. It is simple, easily performed, and indicates all that can be conveyed by a salute at any time. Moreover, it very closely resembles the regulation salute of the American soldier, and so has an added sig nificance, if that be possible. The flag recognizes no sex, but extends its aeg'is over all; male and female alike owe it allegiance, pay it homage, and gladly sacrifice to preserve it Neither will claim precedence over the other in the point of acknowledging obligation to all that the flag stands for. Considering all these things, it seems the committee acted wisely in selecting for the women a salute that scarcely can be told from a man's, land which may be adopted with cheerful acquiescence in the belief that it means all that reverence for the representative of our sacred institutions can mean. Making a New Map for Europe. From Paris comes further evidence that the United States is expected tO( have a share in re drawing the map of Europe. This time it as a report to the effect that Garrett Droppers, Amer ican minister to Greece, has given the ( Athens government assurarice that we will protect the integrity of Grecian territory against Bulgarian demands. Such action will bring us into direct conflict with Bulgaria, despite the president's aversion to a declaration of war on that country. Bulgaria has been told by Germany to secure compensation for disappointment in cjther direc tions by taking over Grecian territory, and this the Bulgarian proposes to do. It might eventu ally be determined that the ambitious Ferdinand will not be amenable to the persuasive effort of our president, in which case we will either desert Greece or declare war against Bulgaria. The principal interest in the incident is that it binds us farther to the redistribution of territory and adjustments of political boundaries in Europe. This might not have .been intended at the be ginning, but it has been inserted into our war program by events and we might as well face that fact Passing of the Plow Horse. The factor is on the trail of Dobbin, inexor ably pursuing him, and with almost assured certainty ,of eliminating him from agriculture. One of the pushing promoters of the gas-driven machine for turning over soil in some derision points out that here mankind has made almost no progress in centuries. Only from the ox to the horse have we advanced, and the step is so Short that it is scarcely noticeable. But the tractor proposes to lift the farm operation up to the plane attained in other industries by the introduction of machinery. No service accomp lished by the horse is beyond the range of a tractor, with the advantage on the side of the ma chine at every point It eats nothing a man can eat, says one prospectus; it works under condi tions that are impossible to the horse; a change of drivers is all that is needed to make it a con tinuous performer in the field, and plowing goes on night and day. Time for seeding is shortened, more ground can be prepared and in better man ner than by the horse-drawn plow, and generally the whole list of processes of crop-raising is done in more expeditious and economical fash ion, and the profits of farming are correspond ingly increased. Just as the automobile is driv ing the horse from the cities, so the tractor, is chasing him from the farms. It may be long be fore he vanishes, for there are millions of him in America, bu he is no longer a money-making proposition and therefore is doomed. " Holu Places in Jerusalem How the City Looks to Soldiers of the West Jerusalem Letter As it was in the days of long ago, so to day soldiers of the west are visiting the churches of Jerusalem and Bethlehem for prayer and thanksgiving. By the door of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher our men may still see the tombstone beneath which the Anglo-Norman knight, Sir Philip Dau bignayhas lain undisturbed for nearly seven centuries, waiting till the English came again. British soldiers and officers are almost always reserved in the expression of religious emotion, but there are great and rare oc casions when the ice of reserve melts, and the capture ot Jerusalem was one of these. Eye-witnesses of the attack on the Turkish entrenchments near Lifta, a very strong position which was, very stubbornly defend ed, say it was the knowledge that before our men lay, the last rampart between Jerusalem and its deliverers that gave their advance an irresistible momentum. Towns-people who saw them enter the suburbs have told the writer that-they were most astonished, after their long experience of the mourn ful or sullen-looking Turk, at the joy on the faces of our soldiers. And with this joy came a natural return tn ancient forms. Many an officer and man, when he first entered the chapel of the Holy Sepulcher, instinctive ly knelt down within the church and kissed the stone that covered the traditional tomb, and there prayed or made his vow. as many a soldier or pilgrim from our islands had done before him. So, too, in the churches whether they are men of the reformed churches worship ing in the Cathedral of St. George or Roman Catholics before the altar of the Stabat Mater in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher there is nothing inattentive or perfunctory in the attitude of the soldiery, but only an intense earnestness. Sometimes one sees a soldier of our army, or bur allies, standing alone, looking raptly at some shrine, his thoughts far from the toil and horror of the war. Such men often have the look of one who has reached his goal after long struggling and great hardship. Some of them have fought in France or the Dardanelles before they crossed the desert and broke into Pales tine. Among these 'are the Frenchmen, sold iers who fought in all the great battles around Verdun. , Among them are many Italians who have battled among the snows of the Alps and the sands of Libya. in London Times. V when he has seen it he will almost invari ably tell you that he has seen the place where Solomon built the temple as, indeed, he has. He takes great interest in the tomb, in the Tower of David, and in the ancient walls where still can be seen stones that bear the seal of Solomon and other masons' marks which have come down from old time. Of the many ' sacred spots which our soldiers have visited, the traditional Garden of Gethsemane seems to impress them more than all. Not only does this place symbolize the most solemn moments of the earthly life of the founder, but in itself it is full of a quiet and austere beauty, an oasis on the arid and glaring flanks of the- Mount of Olives, which is restful to the eye and the mind. Its eight ancient olive trees and its many cypresses soften the monotony of the sun burnt dust and stone and temper the bright ness of the seven gilded domes of the Rus sian church by their foliage of quiet grey green and somber greenish-black. No place seems now more fitted for meditation than this, whether you look out on it from the wall above the Gold Gate, or enter it and watch the gardeners working in the valley, before you go back into the war in which half the world is crucified. . Outside the jchurches, which the army only enters for worship, one sees groups of soldiers following their "Padre" about the city within the walls. The Via Dolorosa and its 14 traditional stations, which terminate at the Holy Sepulcher, itself, seem most to attract the Roman Catholic soldier. Daily one sees them going slowly up the way, stop ping at seach station, while their1 guide, an army chaplain or a Franciscan monk, ex plains its significance to them. Among these groups how often one hears the soft un mistakable accent of southern and western Ireland. There are many who visit the Church of St. Anne, which covers the traditional site of the birth of .the Virgin, and the ancient church of the tomb of the Virgin, built by Millicent, daughter of King Baldwin the second in the valley before you cross the bridge towards Gethsemane. The men of the reformed churches seem to take a greater interest than do their Roman Catholic comrades in the Old Testa ment sites, both within and without the city. Under martial law no non-Moslem may for the present enter the Mosque of Omar, formerly thronged with tourists, but the British soldier sometimes has a chance of admiring this glorious, many-colored struc ture from the quiet and beautiful court, and From the garden men go up to the Mount of Olive's and look at the city, which some of them first saw from the shell-swept sum mit of the hill of Nebi Samwil. There is a noble view from that hill, where King Rich ard stookl facing the city, but covering his eyes with his shield lest he should see what he felt himself unworthy to look upon, and knew himself unable to win. But of all views of Jerusalem none is fairer than that from the Mount of Olives on a clear day. In that bright air every detail of wall, tower, church, and mosque is revealed; the red tiled roofs of the suburbs to the west of the city give just the necessary warmth to the back ground, while in the foreground red sandy soil brightens the expanse of grey and faint green. The deep valleys of Hinnom and Jehoshaphat are dark and shadowy at dawn, and as the evening falls the olive groves south of the city and the dust clouds which mark the movement of transport along the Bethlehem or Shechem roads all combine to give the scene a strange and fascinating beauty. More to the south is a setting more fa miliar. Our men, after long months in Egypt, where you are either in a desert, a town, or a market garden, and as they complain, "There's no proper country," or in dried up Sinai, admire it frankly and unreservedly. What strikes them most, perhaps, is the contrast between the westward view from the Mount of Olives of the crowded city, and the utter disolation and wildnesS of the view eastward towards the Jordan. Green rib boned foliage beside the river, the darker green of the gardens around Jericho, the blaze of sun on the Dead Sea, the rare sight of a white Moselm shrine, only seem to in tensify the emptiness of the land spread out below one and bordered by the steep wall of the mountains of Moab. The occasional report of a Turkish gun from the tangle of hills and gullies down below scarcely dis pels the impression that one is looking down on a land where men are not Southward one can just see the hills about Bethlehem, and there is the shrine which is the most authentic and today, per haps, the most revered of all. All our men, all our allies, have a good word for Bethle hem and "its people, and all who can visit the Church of the Nativity. The married soldier, with wife and children in his mind, goes there most often. It reminds him of Christmas, of his family, and of home. Withdraws From Peter's Honor Roll. Stanton, Neb., . April 23. To the Editor of The Bee: I note in your paper of April 21, under the head of "Val J. Peter Has Roll of Honor of His Very Own," you print a list of names who have made an advance of $10 for further subscription to Peter's Omaha Tribune. The fact that my name appears on that list led some of the people at Stanton to think that I have pro-German tendencies. In order to correct any such idea, I wish you would give this letter the same prominence in your paper that you have given to the above referred article, and in my own defense I wish to state that I am for the United States first last and all of the time; that I am in perfect accord with President Wilson's statement of principles and am willing to support them to the end as against Germany or any- other nation, with all my prop, erty or life, if needed; that I condemn the German autocratic ruling and all who support or otter apologies for it; that I am In favor of carrying on this war until the military power of Ger many is ended and the freedom of the world restored. . I have by this mail cancelled my subscription to the Tribune and all other German newspapers and am ready-to assist in my work to pro mote a better appreciation of 'Ameri can citizenship. I feel that anything we do along this line will be small compared with the service rendered by our brave boys at the front. It is because I want Doth, my friends and the public, to know ex actly where I stand upon these pa triotic issues that I have written this at considerable length, and I am de termined that my influence shall al ways be for the grand old Stars and Stripes.

Better Food Production in 1918 The country is going more intelligently at the work of raising a record crop of war food this year than it went at the same worthy task in 1917. In the first place, the people have the experience of last year to aid them. Many of the amateur gardeners of last year will not enter the lists of agricul tural nation savers this year at all. This is very well, Their last year's contribution was not economical. To raise their small con contribution of potatoes or vegetables they hired labor which would have been much better employed in making bombshells, erecting cantonments, or in any paying in dustry. They kept hundreds of men busy spraying their potatoes and their squash vines with expensive chenjicals. They spent in this way a large sum of money which they never got back. This year they will serve their country much better by putting their money into the third Liberty loan. Many others, who will repeat their experiment, will repeat it to much better effect They have been taught by their ' mistakes They will raise what they really can, and, in the lan guage of the day will "can" what they cannot profitably produce. As the war has gone on the people who are willing to plow up their lawns and cultivate their dooryards have learned the virtue of personal service. They are not contributing so much of the sweat of vicarious brows. The home gardens will not this year subtract so much from the available fund of greatly needed manual labor. What ever the home gardens produce of food will be so much added to the general supply. A great effort will be made to produce record crops of both wheat and corn. The increased use for human food of rye, barley and oats has increased the price of all these grains and will stimulate production, so that the distribution of our acreage will be better balanced, more economical. Meanwhile it behooves every one who possesses unused land, accessible to cultivation by thdee who are willing to till it with' their own "hands, to put it at once at the disposition of. the local authorities and committees which have charge of the matter of assigning such plots. The spare acres should be made to work as they have never worked before. -Boston Transcript. The Kaiser's Camouflage "What have I not done to preserve the world from these horrors 1" The Kaiser. The sum of what the kaiser "has not done to preserve the world from these horors" is exceeded only by what he has done to bring these horrors upon the world. The measure of his offending is beyond human reckoning. Upon him, and him alone, rests the responsi bility first, for the war he willed; second, for the savage barbarism with which those who do his biding have waged it. His is the responsibility for the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia and for the Austrian re fusal to accept Serbia's self-humiliating sub mission to demands which the present Aus trian emperor, by his offer of concessions to Serbia, has himself admitted to be unjust It was the German kaiser who thwarted all the efforts of Great Britain and France and Russia to bring about a peaceful settle ment of the controversy which flared up around Serbia, as his own Ambassador to Great Britain has shown. It was the German kaiser who ordered the "scrapping" of a solemn treaty and di rected the invasion of Belgium. It was the German kaiser who ordered the -torpedoing of the Lusitanna, a crime that could have been committed only by ex press orders of the All Highest, and he it is who has decreed the slaughter of noncom batants and women and children on land as well as on the seas. The German kaiser and he alone is re sponsible for all the unspeakable barbarities that have been introduced by his Germans into this conflict for the poison gases and the poisoning of wells, for the crucifixion of sons of Canada and the slashing of the throats of American prisoners of war, for the murder of Edith Cavell and for the multi tude of unspeakable crimes against women and children wherever they have been at the mercy of Jthis boche brutes. The kaiser cannot blame these things on his Gott, for they are the legitimate fruits of "kuttur.; He is the god of "kultur," and under his inspiration and direction all these crimes have been committed.
