' Inasmuch as the pacifist Lincoln Journal and the hyphenated World-Herald both acquitted all the accused university professors even before the evidence was all in, what could there be left (or the regents to do?' . THAT GERMAN BUNCO CAME. Do our well-intentioned people of German birth or ancestry grasp the full significance of the checks and drafts they sent to Ambassador Bern storff before he was kicked out of Washington and the endorsements on the back which The Bee has been printing in facsimile? Do they realize what a bunco game was being played on them by appeals to their sympathy and humanitarian sentiments, in response to which they made liberal contributions to the German Red Cross', to Prisoners-of-War and War Victims' Relief funds, trustingly remitted to the kaiser's personal representative in this country, who was to, but did not, forward the money to Germany for its intended use there? The exposure and the exhibits which we have been laying before our readers plainly indicate the diabolical purpose of the systematic preserva tion of German "kultur" in this country. The plan was to "penetrate" the United States with former German subjects, remaining at beck and call of the kaiser, even against the United States. They were combed for money, under a German Red Cross camouflage, which was spent right in our own country for spies, dynamiters, bribe givers and hyphenate publishers of poison-spread-iilg papers in order to keep America out of the fight or leave us so weakened that we would be harmless for a long time after we got into it. With their eyes now opened to the trick by which they were imposed upon or used as tools of a foreign tyranny, our German ancestry people must see what kaiserism means and how im possible it is to be loyal tp America, the land of Liberty, and at the same time sympathize with Germany, the monster of barbarism. Kings and the Common People. Now comes a story, somewhat fantastic, that Ferdinand of Roumania abandoned his allies in the war and submitted to a most humiliating peace because Emperor Karl of Austria had ad vised him that "now is the time for us kings to stick together." In the rising tide of democracy these privileged rulers see their doom. Karl descanted on the spread of bolshevism and Ferdinand trembled in prospect of a time when his royal person would he of no more moment in the scheme of things than that of the humblest toiler. Any form of submission to him seemed preferable to the humiliation of a democracy. It is just that' type of ruler the triumph of democracy will annihilate. Contrast the craven selfishness of Ferdinand with the steadfast noble ness of Albert' of Belgium; set Karl alongside George of England; and put Wilhelm the Guilty side by-side. with Wilhelmina of Holland, and the reason for the dread expressed by the Aus trian emperor is plain. The knell of autocracy was sounded in the first shot fired at Liege in 1914. ,A tidal wavi of popular government will wash away all vestiges of the absolute ruler, leaving only bitter memories of him to vex a world that will be the better for his going. Ferdinand deserted this cause, but it will triumph just the same and be sounder because he is self-obliterated.

W. V 4IIIIVM Whether Japan intervenes in eastern Siberia pt not, a terrible state of affairs is developing in Russia and elsewhere back of the lines held by the armies. The report made to Secretary Lansing by the secretary of the Lithuanian, mis sion but faintly outlines the truth, as it is known to some who are in close touch with what is going on there. Russian peasants did not plant their fields this year and in many cases actually ate the seed. Bohemians, already starving, have planted under pressure from the German military masters, that country being under martial law, 1st whatever they harvest is seized by the kaiser! soldiers and taken to Germany for con sumption. In Poland conditions are similar, and throughout what has been reckoned the world's richest grafa region starvation already exists, Hh a most disheartening outlook for the future. r&mine in its stark nakedness awaits the coming cf another winter, in regions where men, women and children already are dying of hunger, and no means of relieving their misery other than defeat of Germany is known, Re-establishment of : order in Russia is not possible until every vestige of German control is removed, and be fore this can be accomplished the suffering there . must be intensified. v This is part of the "victory" accomplished at Brest-Litovsk, a natural result of the trust placed by the weak in the, strength a'ad mercy of the savage Hun. American aid and sympathy will reach the unhappy remnant cf these people in time, but it will be too late to benefit many now doomed to die of hunger. Builders of Empire. George Harris has now gone on to join "Tom" Potter, and "Tom" Hoxie, and "Tom" Scott and others of that glorious company in the happy land to which good railroad men go when through down here, and there he will take the news Of how things arechanged since the govern ment took hold of transportation. If anything would reconcile one of the old school of railroad managers to death it will be the new rules for operation. However, "there Were giants in those days," and they brought their systems , up to a high start of usefulness and service to the world, in spite of many hampering conditions. America ewes a tremendous debt to the men who made railroads what they were in the pioneer days, who blazed the way along which some later mag nates have ridden to fame, and who left names that will be recalled as long as steel rails bear traffic. And George Harris was not the least among these. . Decrease in Nebraska Bank Deposits. The secretary of the .State Banking board reports that deposits in the 929 state banks have decreased $24,500,000 since February 25! Such a change might excite apprehension under ordi nary circumstances, but at present it must be accepted as a healthy sign. If it means anything, it is that money has been taken out of idleness and put to work. An increase in loans and discounts of $10,500,000 is a substantial proof of this. The Nebraska purchases of the third Liberty loan will more than account for the rest, although it is possible that hot all f it went that way. Much money has been sent into Nebraska from other states, depositors seeking the security of the guaranty law. Quite a large proportion of this comes from banks outside 6f Nebraska, and these have felt the call for cash incident to reviving or growing business, bond purchases and preparation to meet the income tax requisition, which fills due this week. The state banks , still carry $226,087,650 on deposit, which is a most respectable sum, and, taken in conjunction with the money held in the national-banks, shows that Nebraska is not in im mediate danger of running short of funds. British Effort to Preserve Peace Lord Haldam's Account of Negotiations Two Year . Before the War Parti. "I did the utmost in my power to pre serve the peace of the world," said Lord Haldane at Swindon on Saturday, "and I am proud of it now." The Lichnowsky memorandum and the comments made upon it are a complete justi fication for Lord Grey's policy and of Lord Haldane's effort in 1912 on behalf of the gov ernment to bring about conditions which would Dreserve European peace. Extracts have been rrtade from time to time from the- dispatch which Lord Haldane wrote after his visit to Berlin in 1912. This dispatch took the form of a diary, in which Lord Hal dane gave an account of his interviews with the kaiser, Bethmann Hollweg, the chancel lor, Admiral Tirpitz and others. It was dated February 8, 1912, and began as follows: "At the interview with the chancellor, which took place at 2 o'clock and lasted for more than an hour and a half, I began by giving him the message of good wishes for the conversationsand for the future of Anglo-German relations with whict the king had entrusted me at the audience I had be fore leaving. He was pleased with this mes sage and intimated that he would write through the German ambassador to thank the king. I then said that perhaps it would be convenient if I defined the capacity in which I was in Berlin, and there to talk to him; and I defined it as above intimated. I proceeded to ask ,whether he wished to make any observations or desired that I should begin. He wished me to begin, and I went on at ence to speak to him as arranged in a conversation J had had with Sir Edward Grey berore leaving London. ' "I told him that I felt there had been a great deal of drifting away between Germany and England, and that it was important to ask what was thecause. To ascertain this events of recent history had to be taken into account. Germany had built up, and was building up. magnificent armaments, and with the aid of the triple alliance it had be come the centef of a tremendous group. The natural consequence was that other powers had tended to approximate. I was not ques tioning for a moment Germany's policy, but this was the natural and inevitable conse quence in the interests of security. We used to have much the same situation with France when it was very powerful on the sea that we had with Germany now. While the fact to which I referred created a difficulty, the difficulty was not insuperable, for two groups of powers might be on very friendly relations it there was only an increasing sense of mutual understanding and confi dence. The present seemed to me to be a favorable moment for a new departure. The Morocco question was now out of the way, and we had no agreements with France or Russia except those that were in writing and published to the world. "The chancellor interrupted me and asked me whether this was really so. I replied that I could give him the assurance that it was so without reserve and that in the situa tion which now existed I saw no reason why it should not be possible for us to enter into a new and cordial friendship, carrying the two old one into it, perhaps, to the profit of Russia and France as well as Germany itself. He replied that ho had no reason to differ from this view. "In connection with my remarks as to the events of last summer, he interposed that we had military preparations. I replied that no preparations had been made which were other than those required to onng tne ca pacity of the British army in point of mo bilization to-something . approaching i the standard which Germany had long ago reached, and which was with it a matter of routine. For this purpose we had studied our deficiencies and modes of operation. We could not be caught unpre pared." The chancellor seemed much pleased with Lord Haldane's explanation, and said: "There had been much talk of our fleet and our army, and the steps we had taken, but that he un derstood the position I had indicated." "I said in reply that it was a pleasure to me to hear this, and that I hoped I should carry him with me still further in my belief that if Germany had really, which I did not at all suppose, intended to crush France and de stroy its capacity to defend itself, we in Eng land would have had such a direct interest in the result that we could not have sat by and seen this done. "He said he did not dissent from this view, nor did he wish to hamper our free dom in such a case. . But he wished to pro pose a formula; the balance of power was a phrase he did not like, though he admitted that the historical considerations I had re ferred to made it natural that some grouping should take place, and that England should Iran tnward the weaker side. He had. how ever, proposed, in his communication to us, a formula of Neutrality which might go a long way to help. "I said I cordially agreed with the good intention of his formula, the working of which was that neither was to enter into any combinations against the other. If this meant combinations for attack or aggresiion, I was entirely of his mind. But I must put on spectacles in looking at his words, and, first of all, I would put on German specta- eles. now would uermany nna iiseu u, when bound by such a formula, we were so wicked as to attack its ally. Austria, or to try to grab Denmark, which was ot deep strat epical interest to it? Aeain. suppose Ger many joined in an attack on Japan or Por tugal or Belgium he then interposed, 'or Holland' but Isaid I really hadn't all ou: tteaties sufficiently in my head to be as sure about Holland as 1 was about tne omers. Or if. I added. Germanv were t0,pouace upon France and proceed to dismember it, what would happen?-He answered that these Lqndon Chronicle, May 14. I cases were not at all likely, but he admitted that they were fatal to his formula. I asked hjm whether he would be satisfied, with mu tual undertakings against aggressive or un provoked attacks and against all combina tions, military and naval agreements, and plans directed to the purpose of aggression and unprovoked attack He said it' was vcy difficult to define what was meant by aggres sion or unprovoked attack. I replied that you could not define the number of grains which it took to make a heap, but one knew a heap-when one saw one. "We then passed on to the question of the German fleet, as to which he asked n:. whether I would like to make any observa tiuns. I said I must. He and I had been talking with the most absolute candor nd friendliness to each other, and I felt he would regard me as wanting in character were I noi-very frank with him about the new ravy law. What was the use of entering into a solemn agreement for concord and against attack if Germany at the same moment was going to increase its battle fleet as a precau tion against us, and we had consequently to increase our battle fleet as a precaution against it? This was vital from our point of view, because we were an island power de pendent for our food supplies on the power of protecting our commerce, and for this we needed the two-power standard and a sub stantial preponderance in battle fleets. He said that it was absolutely essential to Ger many to have a1 third squadron in full readi ness for war. At present, owiiyj to its sys tem of recruiting, for three months in the year it had virtually, owing to the necessity for training recruits, no fleet ready at all. I said I did not contest this; it was quite en titled to have it if it thought it necessary, but the result would be that we should not be able to rely on the two battle squadrons and reserve squadrons which had sufficed hitherto, but that we should be compelled to have five, or even six, squadrons ready in home waters, perhaps bringing ships from the Mediterranean to strengthen them. "He asked me was that necessary if 'we had a friendly agreement? ,1 said it would be a less convincing proof of friendliness if Germany prepared its third squadron, and we shtJuld have no option. Still, I said, this was not so serious as the proposal to add a thud ship every second year to the German construction program. This would put us in great difficulties so far as securing the good opinion of the public in England about the value of an agreement. "After a pause he said he would consider this and 'die Sache uberlegen.' The conver sation up to this point had been largely in German, I taking, to English whenever there wis a delicate topic, and the chancellor oc casionally speaking English, but nea.ly al ways German. In order to avoid mismvl'r sta.iding we sometimes repeated sentences in the other language. I was impressed by his evident desire to meet us wherever he could, and I derived considerable hope from the manner and emphasis with which he said that he would reconsider the question of the ships. But I must add that he went on to say that' the question of the new squadron was vital, and that some new ships would be necessary in it. Could I suggest any way out, for they must keep to the plan of a new law? I observed that it was not for me to ventuie to make any suggestions to his ex cellency, but that a spreading out routine of the new program might make a dirierence. He said, 'Perhaps, eight or nine years;' I added,. 'Or 12, if he could not do better.' He again said that he would take this matter into serious consideration and consult his experts. Myadmirals, he said, are very difficult'; 'That was an experience,' I ob served, "which we sometimes found m Eng land also.'" (To Be Continued.) 4 Be Patient With the Cleaner. Omaha, June 10.

To the Editor of The Bee: On behalf of the National Security league I want to express rhy appreciation of the splegdid service rendered by The Omaha Bee on the occasion of Colonel Roosevelt's visit to Omaha last week and his address at a meeting called by this league. That The Omaha Bee would give its support to such a meeting is, of course, taken for granted. But I speak of the high quality of the serv ices rendered, the splendid publicity given before the meeting and the com plete and faultless report following. F. A. BROGAN, Chairman Omaha Branch National Security League. Not Favorable to Abdication. Omaha, June 10. To the Editor of The Bee: I frequently note remarks by correspondents to the Letter Box relating to the bootlegging business (or rather bootlegging lawlessness) and voicing the implied if not the ex pressed sentiment that we should re turn to the saloon because illegal traf fic In booze seems to thrive because the proper authorities have not yet concluded that the people meant what they said when they voted prohibition In Nebraska and no doubt maliy are aiding and abetting the illegal sale of liquor by going "liquor blind." In the late city campaign It was publicly stated by candidates that there had been in operation across the street from the city Jail a "blind pig" that was patronized largely by police of ficers. No doubt that condition pre vails in many of our cities and towns. But the time will -come when the au thorities will be held accountable, as they will be in Omaha. I feel sure, through the sincere efforts of our present superintendent of police What would those persons whe ad vocate returning to the saloon system in order to do away with bootleeging think if the effort to suppress the pro-German movement were discon tinued because the job seemed too big? Or what would the. think if some one advocated the nullification oZ the laws governing crime because crime con tinues? The proper thing to do in the case of the pro-German, If he becomes too numerous or too menacing, is to cease temporizing with him and make such an example of a few as will serve as an effectual deterrent. In the case of the Illegal liquor traffic, the thing to do is to pass more stringent laws and then elect officials who are in sympathy ,lth the expressed wish of the people, and not t4 .-bdicate to King Barleycorn. We can "asily convince the lawless liquor interests by national prohibition that the gov ernment is strong enough to compel order, even when opposed by so per sistent a law-defier as the liauor in terests. If the booze manufacturer and his following are greater than the laws o; the country it :j time we were find ing it out . For one. while I lav no claim to being a idical prohibitionist, I prefer to convince the liquor interests that they must obey and respect the laws or our country the same as anv other class. I. J. COPENHARVE. LINES TO A LAUGH. ' r What is theReason? Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, passing through Kansas City yesterday, refused to comment on the order of the War department shelving him with a clerical position on the Pacific coast. I am obeying orders, he said, and will try to help as much as I may in what ever capacity I am instructed to serve." That is a fine and soldierly attitude. It cannot, however, be the attitude of the American people, who feel dismay at the apparent prospect that the country is to fail to use the capacity and experience ot its leading commanding officer at a time when every particle f the nation's military ability is sorely needed. What possible reason can there be for fail ure to employ General Wood s services m the field? it cannot be on account ot age. rie is younger than General Pershing, younger than a large share of the division command ers who have gone abroad. ' It cannot be on account of physical dis ability. He was examined and pronounced nt by the Mayo examining board. It cannot be on account of supposed in competency. He has had long military experience-and has made good on every occa sion. His record was so distinguished that he was called on to servers chief of staff. In view of such a record, the only thing to do evidently was to send him to France. Then if he failed to mak good he could be returned home. It is unthinkable that personal feeling should be permitted to deprive the country of the "services of such an officer. The mere existence of such an impression would be demoralizing to the whole armv. For an army's morale must largely depend on the conviction that merit, and merit alone, counts. What is the reason? What can Secretary Baker possibly be thinkinir of to permit such a situation to develop? The country has a right to know! Kansas City limes. I TODAY I One Year Ago Today In the War.

On the car was a young dude still In mufti, seated with his best girl The girl cast admiring glances at the attractive uniformed "Kiltie." much to the displeasure of her slacker es cort So he endeavored to make fun of the uniform by remarking: "1 think that outfit is most ridlcu lous. That fellow's knees look as If they were frozen."
