Father DJfy, D. S. C.
ABSURD PEACE PROPOSALS.
To get the correct perspective on the "peace"
note from the Austro-llungarian government it
is necessary to recall but two events. First, the
ultimatum sent from Vienna to Belgrade in
July, 19N; second, the violation of Belgian neu
trality by Germany in August of the same year.
Having deliberately planned the war, started it
at their own convenience and failed utterly in
all they set out to accomplish, the Teutonic
powers now seek a peace that will leave them
free to prepare for another attempt to subjugate
the world.
When you read in the note that through an
informal discussion "streams of pent-up human
kindness would be released," keep in mind that
these present suppliants first released the terror,
streams of liquid fire, waves of poison gas, sub
marine sinkings, bombing of hospitals, shelling
of peaceable and undefended hamlets, the mur
der of civilians, rape, arson and the most hide
ous cruelties that stain civilization's records.
Now they come, holding out hands dripping
with innocent blood, asking that they be given
opportunity to make terms for themselves!
The hypocritical whine from Vienna is well
supported by the impudent offer of Berlin to Bel
gium. "That Belgium shall remain neutral until
the end of the war" comes with wonderful grace
from the government that declared to be only
"a scrap of paper" a treaty guaranteeing the
neutrality of Belgium I
Utter defeat now awaits the Teutonic pow
ers. The force they invoked is to overwhelm
them. When their power to resist has been de
stroyed, then will peace be restored on condi
tions t'ley will be required to accept and of a
nature that will protect the world from them
forever.
We do not wish, ifor military reasons, to
Inderlify Father Duffyyurther than by saying
that he belongs to a lew York regiment
sometime of the National Guard and now in the
service of the national government a regiment
that, in spite of its extreme modesty, gets more
advtrtisifrg than any othek army organization
in the country. That is not to its discredit; it
simply can't help it
- Father Duffy, we may sfate, is as popular
with Episcooalians. Presbyterians. Baptists,
Methodists. Hebrews, etc., as he is with the
members of his own church. He is. in fact, a
shining example of the new orthodoxy, which
Is based on a belief in national and international
decency and all that decency involves. He is
one of the men who believe that those who are
no with us in this war are against us, and that
this is alt that can be said.
On nt the recent German propagandist lies,
the whispering lies, was to the effect that Father
uuiij was ceau. as h vuuiu is
or the. kaiser and his gang to convince New
Yorkers that the Teutons had managed to put
nt timintx a niarr who. while he was spoil-
. ing to be in the fightinjr. was able to attend to
the care of souls or handle the end of a stretch
er, under fire, with II the nonchalance of a
Cleric taking his afternoon walk down Fifth
t -Welt, Instead of being boned under the pop
twes that bloom in Flanders fields, Father Duffy
is very mnch alive. He will have the rght to
ar the War Cross on his surplice. And we
: lt Jiope that when the boys come home we
Si all be able to show what we think of a chap
hi of whom a private of another faith sa:d:
"Believe r. he is some man. and don t you for
get ill" We won't New York Herald,
R;gard the Needy at Home.
The general impulse to respond with un
stinted liberality to calls for relief frpm desti
tute and suffering abroad is so commendable
that no word will be said to check it. However,
the Associated Charities calls attention to the
unpleasant truth that we have at home some
who also need help. One of the results of giv
ing so generously to Belgium and elsewhere
has been to so lower the stock of castoff cloth
ing and the like that none is left for those who
turn to the local charitable organization for
help. It is well enough to say that we should
have with us no destitute in these times of high
wages and plentitude of employment. The sad
truth is that "the poor ye have always with
you," and some will feel the pinch of want, no
matter how the great majority prospers. There
fore, in arranging for your gifts to the needy,
keep it in mind that some in Omaha will need
help this winter, and plan to give it to them.
Lenine Completes His Bargain.
Announcement that Nicolai Lenine is ar
ranging for an "alliance" between the bolsheviki
and the German imperial government will as
tonish none. It is the closing act of the colos
sal farce that has been played in the name of
freedom in Russia. Twenty years of war waged
even on the scale we have become accustomed
to would not have wrought the complete de
moralization brought about in Russia by a few
months of bplshevism. Disorder can go no
further.
Having accomplished all within his power,
and possibly having exceeded the expectations
of his employer, Lenine now advises the people
of Russia that he finds an alliance with the im
perialists of Germany necessary to make sure
of freedom for the proletariat Only through
Germany can Russia be protected from the em
battled democracies of the world, seeking to
overturn military autocracy.
The shamelessness of the exposed conspir
acy would be shocking under normal condi
tions. As it is, it affords but another sign of
the all-embracing dream of the kaiser. He
gladly will exchange Persia for Russia. The
Berlin-to-Bagdad railroad is a plaything com
pared to the Berlin-to-Vladivostok line he can
see stretching away in the future. Mesopo
tamia is poor alongside Siberia. And this is
what Lenine intends to hand him in the name
of liberty for the masses I
Russia will be made safe for Russians, and
the German scheme will end in failure, just as
have the other plans for world conquest. But
as soon as people have time to stop and rest a
minute they will find huge cause for laughter
in the bolsheviki maneuverings.
Murder as a Preliminary to Conciliation.
It is noteworthy that the Austrian plea for a
consultation and the German offer of "peace"
to Belgium were accompanied by the sinking of
a passenger steamer, and the consequent mur
der of women and children. The German mind
still is working along its peculiar course.
Slaughter of innocents is justified, because mer
chant vessels persist in plying the ocean. If
these dead ones had followed the kaiser's dic
tum they would be safe at home until such
time as one of his land battalions of murder
might reach them. However, these points have
all been discussed before. In the mids of civ
ilized and well disposed persons only one
thou3ht exists, and that is to render powerless
the insane directors of the German military ma
chine, and so make the world a safe place in
which to live. The loss of the Galway Castle,
sunk without warning, added another 150 to the
victims of the terror, but nothing to the pros
pects for peace by conciliation.
Here's a Pretty Howdedo.
What is this that confronts ns a nice, fat
federal office with its headquarters in Omaha,
and "Sir Arthur" cannot land it ftr a deserving
democrat? What is the world coming to? One
of the softest berths in the federal building soon
will be vacated, and the Department of Justice,
with stony heartlessness, says that it will be
filled by someone from outside of Nebraska.
Too bad. A fairly numerous list of faithful
hewers of wood and drawers of water remain
unattached, so far as the payroll is concerned,
even "Mayor Jim" not having had a chance to
face the paymaster for almost six months, and
this salary will go to an uitlander. Stoomuch.
How does the attorney general of the United
States expect we are going to keep up the party
organization if he permits such, things to hap
pen? And what will the unterrified say about
the senator and the other bosses of Nebraska
if they let this good job get away Democracy
is in a dilemma, sure enough.
Right in the Spotlight
Before the war people used to
marvel at the wealth of India's ra
jas and the magnificence of their
courts. Since the war began these
rajas have made lavish contribu
tions to the war and to relief funds.
For instance, the Nizam of Hydera
bad, upon whom King George re
cently conferred the title of His
Exalted Highness and also the rank
of lieutenant-general, has made per
sonal contributions to the allied
cause amounting to more than
000,000. He is maintaining the best
soldiers in his employ at the front,
and has placed his own sword at the
disposal of the king. The Nizam is
in the prime of life. He is famous
as a big game hunter and has the
reputation of being one of the sur
est shots in all India.

Etchings of Life at the Front

Shortly after one triumphant but slightly
soiled reeiment came out of the line near the
Ourck all but one final suit of underwear was.
drawn in the process of rehabilitation. Then,
under a sheltering tree in a rain-drenched wood
the major leading one battalion was discovered
io warm and unseemly controversy with a pri
vate. The bone of contention was the last
precious pair of clean drawers. Who should
nave them?
The desirable drawers changed hands several
times in the course of the argument Those
watching from a distance saw a good many im
passioned gestures. '1 hey heard, we do not re
gret to say, some profanity.
Finally, the major emerged victorious.
The private got the drawers.
Henry and George Rutledge sailed together,
but on the way over George was suddenly taken
ill and died.
"It means I must account for 20 Germans,"
Henry said at the graveside when they buried
his brother in France. "We'd each agreed to
kill 10 of them."
At this stint he went determinedly to work.
He progressed so marvellously as a rifleman
that they made him a sniper and gave him free
rein to wander where he would in the forefront
of a fight
In one contest, using a Springfield rifle with
telescope sights, he achieyed 217 consecutive
hits on a five-inch bull'seye at a distance of 300
yards, so there is small wonder that there were
five carefully recorded notches in his gun when
his outfit was summoned into the fight between
the Marne and the Ourcq. His pals said he had
really killed seven.
At last accounts Corporal Rutledge had been
too busy to set down his mounting score, but
they say that when he gets round to it he can
add 11 new notches. He is not done yet
Listing prisoners is always interesting work.
"Kaiser, ' said a prisoner when asked his
name.
"Holy Smoke I" exclaimed the doughboy who
brought him in, "I've captured the main show."
"Kaiser," repeated the prisoner, "Conrad
Ka;ser, and m 36 years old."
Up to the time that Germany's dwindling
man power caused the military finger to beckon
him Kaiser had been a collcre professor.
"Will they send us to America?" asked the
next prisoner, an artillery captain. He was told
that "they" wouldn't, and expressed regret
"I had decided to po to America after the
war. anyhow," he exclaimed. "There is nothing
more for pe in Germany. My father and mother
were killed hy an air bomb and my two brothers
died in action. I'm the only one of the family
left."
This didn't happen to an American, but it
made some Americans gasp, and boosted the
bluecoats ore more notch in their estimation.

Cigarets and the Army.
Omaha, Sept. 16. To the Editor
of The Bee: As a resident of Oma
ha and a loyal American I want to
protest asaihst the statements ac
credited to Kev. Harry B. Foeter,
pastor of Dundee Presbyterian
church, made in his church Sunday
evening.
The pastor has said, according to
the report in The Bee, and which I
have learned from other sources,
that a vast sum la being spent to en
courage the use of cigarets and to
bacco. He says there Is deliberate
propaganda on the part of some
"trust" to encourage the habit Does
he know what last year's sale of
ckrarets, tobacco and cigars amount
ed to? Does anyone think that prop
aganda is needed to keep a custom
so thoroughly established as this in
existence?
I was told that Rev. Mr. Foster
deliberately ridiculed the activities
of three Hed Cross young lady work
ers at the railway stations in Omaha.
He Is said to have denounced their
being there with "a basket of cigar
ets, a basket of matches and a basket
of chewing gum" for soldiers leaving
or passing through the city. He is
fald to have paid a "policy tribute"
to the general work of the Red
Cross and then to have turned right
about and censured this splendid or
ganization for giving cigarets to the
soldiers.
Are not all the churches behind
the Red Cross? My church is and
I thought all the others were. .1
have always been given to under
stand that all the churches, all the
relifiious orranVat'ons. all forces for
Kocd In our country were behind t.
Red Cress.
Surely the Red Cross has had am
ple opportunity to probe this enemy
question.
I would like to sk this preacher
If he knows where the firtt call came
to the Red Cross for cigarets? It
rame from men in field hospitals on
the battlefields; it came from men
who had gone forth and offered their
lives for their country; men who had
faced the fee and, shattered by his
destructive agents bayonet, bullet
or shell was lying, perhaps, at the
point of death. Should the Red
Crocs refuse this man a cigaret?
Should the Red Cross refuse any
man in our uniform the solace of a
smoke if he wants it bad enough to
ask for it? If I thousht for one sec
ond that the Red Crons would clo th:s
I would never give it, another cent.
But I know it will not.
There are thousands, tens and
hundreds of thousands, of ci;;aret
smokers in the United States army
and in the armies of all the allies.
The fact that they smoked cigarets
did not prevent the exanv'nins doc
tors from accepting them for service,
and they appear to be doing pretty
wen on, i would say they are doing
fairly well over there. They are
chine gun going. The balloon dissolved in flame !
and srnohe, and the observer took to the para
chute. The boche airman, not content with de
stroying the sausage, pursued the Frenchman
as he floated down, pumping bullets at the out
snread umbrella. And the Frencliman coolly
drew his revolver and answered the boche's fire.
Nothing makes an American soldier prouder
of his organization than being in action with it.
Any man up front will tell you that his platoon
is the best in the company. t'Mt his company is
the best in the regiment and his regiment is the
best in the armv that the artillery of his di
vision 's infallible and the officers are unbeata
ble. The colonel always comes in for praise.
"Our colonel," said one doughboy, "mav be
stout and not much for he:ght, but you out to
so'dier unHer him. He's a rcrular fellow. Wbv.
he's te k-'nd of a piy tat if he was in the ranks
wo-M maVe a rood privae"
Which is aout the highest tribute a private
can pay his colonel.
Fasy come, easy ro.
One of the German rclments onposite the
Americans, the members of which a-e. hy this
time, nrobably listed as "miss'n.er. believed pris
oner," had iust been paid, when the curtain went
dovn on thrr activity in la girre.
Exactly 48 hours after te Germans marched
before their paymaster and got their pav they
marched before an American officer, who re
lieved them of the modest collect-on of marks,
pfennigs and other things they had rece:ved.
American resiu'ations for the h;nd!:n?r of
prisoners provide that a'l money shall be taken
from them and p'aced in a fund which is de
voted to the eommon needs of prisoners.
The colonel had led them Into the fipht, and
it was the co'oret's all-see'ng eve which noticed
that the little 18-year-old private had been
gassed.
"Get hack." he shouted. "You've done your
bit net back!"
So the little private dutifully got back. On
the way he passed a farm. In a shed were six
boches whom the fight had swept past without
nolicinsr. Their hands went up in a jiffy. When
the little private reported at the dressing station
for treatment the six were still with him.
In the midst of the batlte one young lieuten
ant, running into a pal of his, showed him under
the Pap of his pocket a little gold brooch.
"If anything should happen to me," he said,
"try to get hold of this pin, will you, and when
you net time ship it baclc home to my mother."
The other promised, and the lieutenant went
his way. He had not gone 20 feet when he
was struck by a shell and killed instantly. The
pin is on its way to America.
Power Greater Than Law
New York Times.
Nothing could better illustrate the power of
pubhc sentiment when it closely approaches
unan'mity than did the almost complete absence
on Sunday of automobiles from all the city
streets and country roads in this vicinity. Pre
sumably, it was the same throughout the coun
try east of the Mississippi. And this truly re
markable abandonment of a well-established
hibit from which thousands and thousands of
people have long derived one of their greatest
n'easure was brought aout not by an order,
hut by a mere request of the government! To
make the phenomenon the more impressive, the
request was issued through a board the previous
acts of which have been much and hotly and
justly criticised by the same public that in this
instance showed itself so docile.
The explanation, of course, is that the re
quest was reasonable and the motive of it thor
oughly understood and as thoroughly approved.
On the first Sunday when it was asked that
motoring except for necessity and charity be
stopped, the thoughtless and the vicious folk
who have always formed a small but conspicu
ous and troublesome minority of the automobil
inr part of the population acted after their fa
miliar fashion and went out as usual. Their ex
periences on the road, however, were such as
to convince even the dullest-witted and thickest
skinned that pleasure riding on a Sunday when
intelligent and decent folk had united to save
gasoVne was about as unpleasing as riding could
be. Few of them were arrested none for irr
norinu the government's request but they all
found themselves subjected to such a pressure
of eontempt and scorn that hardly one of them
ventured Out when the second Sunday came
around.
That there are only too many automobilists
indifferent to the law we all know, but when
the penalty to be faced was of a kind which, on
like fine and imprisonment could not possibly
be escaped, even the worst of them submitted

I am not in any way connected di
rectly or Indirectly w.th the tobacco
business. 1 have many friends in
the army here and over there. Most
of them smoke. The moot able min
ister 1 know smokes clarets and
rays they are the best smoke because
they are the shortest one. So we see
there is a difference in opinion
among ministers.
1 suggest that Re. Mr. Foster
read the little article headed, "You
Can't Fool Yankees with Pulpit

It is a noteworthy fact that com

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps, and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very inju:ious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to U3e is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaselcss. It's very
eheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months,
