( '"'' Another call fort quarter of a million recruits will 'find the boyi ready to go. This Is one direct result of the Hindenburg drive. ' . . The McMahon hearing at Lincoln is bringing ' out the fact that one thing the Board of Control did not control is the advancing cost of living. ' Watch the batteries of listers and check' rowers get into action in Nebraska. Old King Corn is just Vbout to start his annual spring drive. ; ' A-. , Russia may or may not get back into the war, the fact remaining that the decision will be i reached on the western front, where the Yankee ' boys are lining up to head the march to Berlin. Whether .-or not "somebody ought to be shot," as it suggested by one senator in .discussing the aircraft board, what the public would most like to see now it some thousands of the flying ma chines ready for delivery. A little less talk and snore action Bere is in order. Fort Otriaha has had its baptism of death, the disaster at the balloon school startling the community by its sudden horror. Recognized as one of the dangers inherent to war, our people nevertheless feel .keenly the shock of young sol diers being so swiftfy engulfed in destruction as were the boys overwhelmed by the exploding balloon. Survivors will, learn .how deep the sym pathy of the city for them island will know with what genuine ad ujiselfish; sorrow the news of the accident was received.' Death in line of duty is the soldier's last service and to Vincent Beall and John Davis, the people of Omaha will pay that tribute which fsjhedue'of those who died 'for the flag. . " i ' Another Warning, on Meat Consumption. When Food Administrator Hoover lifted the 'meatless day embargo, it Was pot. intended that all restraint was removed.' It limply meant that the production of meat food" in America had ex ceeded the estimate to the extent that enforced restriction J was unnecessary, the administration relying bn' the people to moderate use 'of food along lines that would avoid Waste. Now it ap pears that some folks are returning to 'the old and careless way of doing things, and it danger is agairt noted. This has brought a warning from the food administrator, of , rather a request that meat be conserved that the supply for overseas .be kept up to full requirements. Most Americans tave cheerfully acquiesced in the regulations )laid down by Mr. Hoover and are yet willing to make the slight sacrifice required. to the end that our allies and our armies be well provided for. It is only the thoughtless or the selfish who are inclined to overlook the obligation in this regard, .A wyJ0 e!lch them will be found, even if it be necessary to inconvenience all, in "order to con trol a few.'-; '.'A''"' ,: ' ; :- .,?..r fPUT ROY TOWfc ON YOfJR TICKET. Slate-making is the order of the hour, and many combinations of candidates are being form ed and scattered abroad. These may be considered "for what they are' worth, and, unlesi the temper of the voters is sadly misconstrued, the vicinity of the polls will be littered with the pieces of broken slates. Men who win in this contest will come through because the public holds them in esteem for ability and integrity. The Bee has already commended several men to the voters because of confidence in their capa bilities. We are glad also to endorse Roy N. Tow!, a young man who virtually was drafted by his fellow citizens at the primary, coming into the race at the last momjnt, but getting a most gratifying vote. He isj an engineer of experience, ranking high in his profession, whose work has not been spectacular, but of the solid and efficient sort that makes for permanence. His presence on the city commission will be of public ad Measured in Terms of Man-Power. Sufficient progress has been made in the great Picardy battle to give definite basis for computa tion of the damage sustained by Germany in point of, man-power. Accurate knowledge of the num ber of divisional assaults made by the invaders and acquaintance with their military practice war rants the statement, given out in Paris,- that the German loss in the first five weeks of the battle amounts to 350,000 men. This amounts to a total of thirty divisions on the German plan of forma tion. As it is known that 140 divisions out of 206 available were employed during these five weeks, the losses amount to practically one-fourth of those engaged and one-seventh of the entire army on the western front. One does not need to be a military expert 'to realize what a drain this loss is on a country whose entire man-powerl supply, is represented in. its army. The ground gained by the kaiser in his desperate thrust was at an expenditure he could not afford to make, while the net result at present is to greatly en danger the whole right wing of the German army. Summed up, the Huns are now in a place where they can only maintain themselves by utmost en deavors, all efforts to advance checked, and any move to retire accompanied by possibility of dis aster. Ten thousand men a day were sacrificed to obtain "victory" so hollow that it mocks even Ludendorff, who has credit for planning the great campaign that has failed. For the Larger Army. Mr. Wilson's conviction that the part to be playedv by the United States in the world war has been extended by developments is reflected in the attitude of the secretary of war, of navy and of the provost marshal general, each of whom has declared in favor of an army without limit as to number. It is not thought that at any time the president sought to minimize the contract the nation has undertaken, nor that he did not comprehend the magnitude of the operations in which we must engage. What he did understand, and perhaps better than any of those around him, was the inertia of the American people. Our un readiness' for war, the lack of unity of public sentiment and the tremendous difficulties that had to be overcome in getting started were fa miliar at the White House. . Experiences of the year have brought about the needed solidification of sentiment; the public mind is no longer in a fluid state, and our citizens have before them a much better picture of what Is to be required of us as a nation. Announce ment from Washington that the army will be increased to 3,000,000 in number without delay, and that Do limit will be set, is simply notice to the world that America is at' last set to the task, and that from now on our men and our money will be employed in freeing the world of the curse the kaiser has brought upon it. f The president has assumed a terrific re sponsibility; he has asked and will receive the ultimate gift of power and authority that virtu ally constitutes him dictator while the war lasts. No greater proof of fidelity to his leadership could be given. What use he makes of this great confidence will fix his place in history. Just now it stands as the final evidence of the sincerity of Americans In the war. It is the people's war, and Mr. Wilson must become the people's leader. The Lincoln State Journal declines to accept police records or the statement. of the special prosecutor for the fact that the prohibition law is observed in Omaha, but insists that we .do better. We hereby invite our contemporary to come up and look over the situation for himself, and see if he can improve on what is being done. 1 , , Visiting actors who have helped boost the Liberty loan drive in Omaha during the week say their work has been easier here than any where. The Omaha man does not have to be prodded into coming across. Omaha's rank in the clearing house record shows how busy the people in this neck of the woods are. ' Tenth position among the cities of the United States is not to be sneezed at by any. . Efforts to start "brick throwing" between the .candidates have , fallen rather flat so far. Berlin andTMumch German-Made Pen Pictures of Life in Germany Translations by Boston Transcript. These seven days Zeitung am Mittag de clares: "Berlin no longer-offers security to the public. Shops , are looted, dwelling houses are forcibly entered, burglars' revolvers are fired at all hours, thefts and robberies con tinue unceasingly, and the wildest pre-war excesses of the Paris Apaches are eclipsed. "The greatest sufferers through these un happy conditions are the women who have to thread their way at night through the Unlighted streets, as the following letter which we have received from a lady reader shows: "'I, was walking along the Fasanenstrasse when suddenly a gentleman raised his hat and accosted me. Very indignant, I hurried on. The man then barred my way, and the next moment he had drawn a revolver. I nearly died with fright. The bandit whisper ed. 'I shall not hurt you if you don't cry Out. but you must give me your boots.' "'What could I do? The robber, bidding me stand against a wall, removed my boots, thanked" me, and disappeared. I was obliged to walk home in my thin stocking. Is it not a disgrace to Berlin that such things should happen and that people cannot pass through the streets at 9 o'clock in the even ing without the risk of death at the hands of highwaymen?'" . Lelpziger Neueste Nachrichten continues the tale these seven days: "Bullets are raining down in torrents round about Ger many. On the western front they are di rected against Frenchmen, Englishmen, Americans, and their unholy vassal peoples, in the east against bands of recalcitrant bol sheviks, and in the south against treacherous Italians. "Human blood is being spilled like water, and many people seem to think that a few more shots, a little more bloodshed, does not matter. Nevertheless, the loud reports that have rung out during the last few days in Berlin's proudest streets are arousing a quite unusual echo, and the victims of these firing practices are being lamented with more bitterness than the results of the most murderous battle. "Three times have rifles been called into requistion in the case of the attempted escape of deserters, who for some occult reason were conducted on foot in broad daylight through the most crowded thoroughfares, and three times instead of the fugitive an innocent person has been shot in one case a harmless postman, in another a woman at Charlottenburg, and in the third a 4-year-old child was killed at the feet of his father. "Why should a prisoner have to run the gauntlet of the street crowds, that jeer and spit at him? He is only the more encouraged through his shame and his rage to try to escape from his tormentors. "We hope that henceforth the peaceable imperial capital may be spased further mur derous spectacles." Munich , Post anent Bavarian cases says, these seven days: "The military courts are creating a reign of terror in Munich. The army authorities are constantly haunted by the tear of strikes in munition and aeroplane works and similar establishments. On the least provocation, or on no prov ocation at all, the gendarmerie and police, acting on the urgent instructions given them, arrest men, women, youths and young girls in the street, often with the greatest brutality. At the next stage the unhappy people find themselves before the military judge, who, without troubling to inquire into the truth of the charge, has the defendant thrown in prison under a sentence ranging from six months to a term of years. "In one case a young woman who had been overheard by a soldier to remark to an acquaintance employed in an aeroplane fac tory, 'If I had to work: as many hours as you do I should soon strike,' was beaten about the head with the soldier's saber, marched off to the court, and forwith sen tenced to 18 months' imprisonment for treason. "A locksmith, 18 years of age, was con versing in the street with his friend, a turner. A policeman was standing at some distance from the two. Without overhearing a word of the conversation, which would have been impossible at that distance, he walked towards the two men, and on a soldier ap proaching at the sound of the policeman's whistle both the workmen were escorted handcuffed to the court-martial, where they were each sentenced to a year's imprison ment for incitement to strikes. These cases could be multiplied almost indefinitely." Mail Service, to Soldiers Abroad Reasons for Delay and Uncertain Delivery New York Timet, All the mail for the members of the American expeditionary force in France goes through New York. All the letters from our soldiers "over there" are delivered through the New York postoffice. All the mail for men on American battleships is addressed in the personal care of the New York postmaster. On an average, 1,808,760 letters for our soldiers in France leave New York every week. In the week ended April 12 whicn may be taken as an average 1,346,300 letters and cards from members of the expeditionary force were received here. Of the delivery of mail from our soldiers the postoffice has had almost no complaints; but there has been much questioning as to why it has taken so long for the soldiers in France to hear from home. "There have been several reasons for the slow delivery of mail to the soldiers of the American expeditionary force," said Post master Thomas G. Patten. "In the first place, there is the enormous amount of it." In ad dition to twenty-two and a half tons of let ters a week, it is explained, the postoffice is sending over an average of 12,000 sacks of paper and other printed matter about 600,000 pieces. Mr. Patten continued: "That is a tre mendous amount of mail to handle. But as a matter of fact there are no delays now at this end. At one time there was some ac cumulation of mail here owing to the lack of transportation facilities, but that trouble does not exist any longer Another cause for de lay was the suddenness with which the gov ernment decided to send the expeditionary force to France. A,great many things had to be done in a short time, and not everything could be completely organized quickly. "A considerable amount of delay in mail delivery has been all along, and still is, due to insufficient or incorrect addressing. We send mail to ' the army units. Everything should be addressed to the soU'ier by name, regiment, and company, and the words Amer ican Expedltiowtry Force Alpould be added. That it all, but that is neatnry. If the ad dress is incorrect, the letter comes all the v-fiy baak here for us to make inquiries. If it is inadequate, it takes the letter a long time to reach its destination. In any case, a letter or magazine that is wrongly addressed is subject to very great delay. And it is sur prising how many people even now make mistakes. "Another cause for delay is in the simple fact tr at the troops in France are not station ary. They are ordered to various places." There are two things about the soldiers' mr.il which it is probable that the general public does not realize. The postoffice does not undertake to deliver mail to individuals in the army, in France, and the postal author ities here never know the specific where abouts of the units to which they send their sacks of mail matter. As A. M. Norris, formerly superintendent of the railway mail service, now superintend ent of mails, exolains. the . "exoeditionary mail" is all "made up to units." A letter ad dressed to Corporal John Jones. Company X, 999th Infantry, American Expeditionary Force, is not delivered by the postoffice to Corporal Jones,. It is delivered to the cap tain of Company X of the 999th. With that the responsibility ot the postomce is at an end. The letter's further fate does not come under the jurisdiction of the postmaster. gen eral, but of the secretary of war. In other words, the delivery of a fetter to the specific individual to whom it is addressed is the task, col of the postoffice, but f the army. The clerks here do not' often stop to count the day's mail; it takes too long. But once in a while it is done. The last time was March 31. Between 10,000,000 and 11,000,000 pieces of mail went through the New York postoffice on that day.. Valueand Turnover of a Hide A farmer raises a steer whose hide sells for $2; that hide is going to end by being made into shoes, belts and trinkets. If no body wanted the final products, of course the hide would not be worth $2 neither that hide nor any others in the neighborhood. In such event the village storekeeper, the farm hand, the local minister, and others whose activities are benefited by the sale of the hide would be so much less prosperous. Be tween the farmer and the men who wear the shoes is a succession of dealers in raw hides, truckmen, two or three railroad transporta tions, two separate processes of preliminary tanning and manufacture, a jobber of leather, a merchant of "findings" and odd shoe-making materials, a maker of shoe machinery and tools, the shoe factory, at least one wholesaler, and a retailer. There' are at least eight turn-overs, maybe 10, and from the $2 hide to shoes and leather novelties worth $25 one can easily count $90.75 in suc cessive sales. If the successive deposit and collection of the checks involved is also "business" and it is it expands to $272.25. This isn't all the gainful human activity set in motion by the "turnover" of, one hide. Every concern that handled it had a place of business and employes; the handling of the hide is a part of the reason for paying rents, wages, stationery bills, postage, tele graph and 'phones, electric light or gas, law years' fees, taxes. From profits, wages and payment set in circulation the benefit of the business extends to every kind of trade. There are few lines of modern production that do not involve a long train of turnover, successive manufacture and combination. And every turnover sets in motion its widen ing rings of universal benefit.-Leslie's Weekly. People and Events Tough days for the straw hat and the soda fountains. Also for late spring coal piles. The estate of the late John E. Redmond, Irish nationalist leader, amounts to only $28,930. Serving Ireland, never has been ac counted a highway to fortune. Over in Michigan where political sports think they know a winner, atrenu6us efforts are being made to pull Henry Ford into the senatorial race. "If Ford runs," say the stal warts, "we're sunk without warning." Hank isn't saying a word too busy turning out submarine chasers so the political sports monopolize the guessing. A story for war profiteers to think about is vouched for by the Southern Lumberman. A model wooden ship built on plans drawn by A. A. Daugherty, and recently launched at Orange, Tex., proved so much superior to the shipping board plans for like craft, that the board abandoned its own and offered $50,000 for the Daugherty plan. "My plan is not for sale," said Mr. Daugherty. "The gov ernment can have it for nothing." Hats off to Daugherty. May his tribe increase I One Yea Aea IVulaw In t. nr..

Every voter in Omaha knows that Joe has made good; now, give' him his credit re-elect him. Not only do the voters know about Joe's good work, but also tht women and children, and a man who has the welfare of the children of Omaha at heart is worthy of hold ing the best office in the City of Omaha. No matter what your station in life is, rich or poor,' you are bound to appreciate what Joe has accomplished for this city. In particular. I mention the park playgrounds, where the chil dren are safe and can enjoy them selves in a way not known to the children of Omaha in former years. I need not mention the splendid boul evard system that has developed in the last few years; automobile own ers will vouch for this.

HORNE, Ambulance Company No. 335, Louis ville, Ky. Longevity of the Bible. Rapid City, a D., April 30. To the Editor of The Bee: Galileo said the earth was a sphere. He' was compelled by the bigotry of his time to sign up a document stating the earth to be flat. After affixing his 'signature he remarked: "But it's round Just the same." The preacher-mayor of Sioux City, seeing the narrowness of his re ligious brethren relative to certain people who hold that the millen nium is at hand, said it was foolish to charge sedition against these childish millennium folks and advised the authorities to "let the People's church alone." Thomas Jeff erson likewise approved this dictum when he said, "It is not the business of government to meddle in these things. Use reason and persuasion, but force, never." Indeed, with respects to length ot life few perceive the fall of man from Adam's 930 years to the present aver age of 35 years. In proof that these ancient years were solar and of the same duration as our own. all one needs to do is to note the births of Adam's children, which if reckoned on any other basis, would make Father Adam a minor. Now the proposition of Holy Writ is that the death sen tence is to cease operating toward the race shortly and man is to be restored back to Edemic perfection plus his knowledge of good and evil. Hence instead of going actually into the tomb, we will witness a change take place in the weather, human health and all the blessings of restitution as spoken by the Hebrew prophets. Blacks, reds and yellows will return to the bloom of original health. This new flux of life will be felt first by those not going down into the prison house. And so we read: "His flesh at a 100 years shall be as flesh ot a child, but a sinner at a 100 years shall be cut off." Those who delight in Justice and the prosperity of his brother will in crease his reward until a full enjoy ment of everlasting life on earth will be his portion. Thence will flow on an endless succession of creations on other planets as will work eternal interest Messiah's church will have gone to their invisible reward as a peculiar treasure, whereas the original purpose of man's habitation will be finished.

The price is so low that possi bly some will feel skepti cal, but w want to say these Olivers are the same iden tical model that has always sold for almost four times as much. They are fully equipped with tabulator, back spacer, ruling device, etc., and will give the very same old reliable Oliver service as all Olivers give. Buy more than one if you have use for them as this oppor tunity will never com again.' If you cannot attend this sale in person, phone or wire and your order will have ' our most careful attention. We will be entirely sold out in a very short time as we place on sale only 100. They are all exactly alike so there is no choice. Only cash orders can be accepted as the price is too low to admit df time sales. , - Central Typewriter Exchange, Inc. Omaha Oliver Agency, 1905 Farnam i
