The man who prepares the daily war map is a busy boy these days. It's the "Spanish flu" over here, but the "German flee" over there. Omaha is winning the fight against the "flu," so be patient but not a doctor's patient. The weather man responded very promptly to the notice that his re-election depended on rain. The Austro-Hungarian government, like the democratic party, sees passing events from the rear platform. Why should the dollars hang back when the men are going to the front? Get them out for Liberty bonds. , Your money is safe in Liberty bonds, but will be worthiest if we do not win the war. Just remember that. j The war and the Liberty loan alike are at the stage of the hardest pull, but both will go over if we do not weaken. It is results that count. If quarantining the town stops the "flu" speedily, there will be less cause to complain of the cost. Reparation and restitution are not yet ad mitted by the reckless plotters of Potsdam, but i they will get accustomed to the words in time. Do not fear that the president intends to ' abandon Belgium, or the submerged peoples .. under the heel of the Hun. Justice will be done : to- all. Still altogether too many automobile acci dents. One would think the high cost of re pairs, if nothing else, would stimulate more , careful driving. , ' Stockholm, as usual, guessed wrong in an ' nouncing the kaiser's abdication. But he might as well give tip, for his job will not be worth much after the war. General Haig finally reports the capture of Cambrai. He could have read all about it ten days in advance in a fake "extra" issued by one of our Omaha contemporaries. Austria is now talking of autonomy for a lot of people who have determined to be' free. We . have more faith in the Czechs and the Slavs than in the tricksters of Vienna and Buda-l'esth. ' It will be pretty hard for democrats to con vince the average citizen of Nebraska that he is not paying more taxes now than he did four .years ago. Bulls and bears are having a merry time nowadays, chasing one another around the pit, ! but the public is iot giving much time to watch ' ing-them. The stock market is no longer looked upon as a vital indicator of how the war js going. : The Germans are now making love to the Bohemians, after centuries of oppression but the sturdy race that has stood for centuries against the alliance now proposed is not likely to succumb to such blandishments when its lib erty is in sight. " , "Only military reasons," says the Cologne Gazette, "could compel us to accept President Wilson's conditions." And that is just why they will be accepted, and with some extension that will make them very binding on the Hun, !; tvhen he awakens from his present orgy. The German Fix "Armentieres and Lens were evacuated by us on Tuesday night without fighting," says the - latest Berlin bulletin. The hope must be that Hans has forgotten with what a flourish of . trumpets the first German occupation of Lens ? was announced a few years ago. The grapes ;; of Armentieres were sweet and juicy then. Now, i says the German fox, for the continuing delusion of Hans, "they are sour." '' "We occupied rearward positions to the east ol both towns," continues the bulletin. West ward the course of the German empire was tak "ing its way not so long ago, but now it is every dy "filling its belly with the east wind" be cause, perforce, it has to keep its face set stead ily in that direction, and suck in all the noxious ness for which, of old, the east wind was cred ' ited. And now the facing to the east has to be admitted. In earlier retreats the German com muniques spoke ot rearguards as 'advanced lines.- Today they are referred to as "rear ward positions." But the fox is losing some of his cunning. In the beginning of the great continuing, re Tirtat he referred to the enemy as "following," an admission which moved us to inquire if the Ger mans were chasing themselves. The latest emanation says: "In the course of the day the enemy, after strong artillery preparation placed against the abandoned positions (Lens and Ar mentieres), followed over the Fleurbaix La Ssee-Hulluch line." following whom? That is a question which j ye puzzling Hans just now. St. Louis fft Democrat. :i " WHY THE PREFERENCE FOR WILSON? Why did the German chancellor and the Aus trian premier address their peace notes to Pres ident Wilson rather than to one or all of our Allies? Bulgaria surrendered to the French military commander and Turkey has directed its nego tiations to Lloyd. George, but, then, the United States has not been at war with either Bulgaria or Turkey, which may explain why we are left out on that side. So far as Germany and Austria are con cerned, they could as well have communicated with Lloyd George or Clemenceau, or have sent identical notes to each, but, as we know, they did not. Is it possible they looked upon Pres ident Wilson as the easiest mark or, because less experienced in European diplomacy, thought he could be more readily taken in by their sophistry? If so, they have already been disillusioned. Or did the note-writers imagine the pressure of the people for peace would be exerted more strongly upon the president than it would be in Great Britain or France or Italy upon the gov ernments of those countries? If so, they were again reckoning falsely. Or did they f.eel that the determination of the Allies' attitude really rests with President Wilson and that he would not only treat them more fairly, but would also bring the others quickly in line" for whatever plan he favored? Such inference might well be based upon the accepted fact that the entrance of the United States into the war was for the Hun the de ciding adverse factor and that without the American forces the gage of battle on the west ern front might have been the other way. Whatever the German inspiration, however, we may be sure of this that President Wilson will not act except after conference and agreement with our Allies, and that the peace of justice, whenever it comes, will make justice to Bel gium, to Serbia, to France, to Italy, to Great Britain, to the Czecho-Slavs and to ourselves pre-requisite to justice to those who started the world-war and who must be held culpable for all this destruction and slaughter. Unwise Optimism Dangerous. Is the war still 3,000 miles away from Amer-, icans? We have sent millions of our sons to the army, and thousands of them have made the last great sacrifice. Yet with the first sign of reward for the tremendous effort we have put forth may be noted a tendency to relax. Men talk to one another on the street, saying, "Well, it's pretty nearly over now," and agree that only a little effort will bring full victory. Such optimism is unwise and dangerous. We must have unwavering faith, but we must support that faith by deeds. Words will not win this war. The Hun is fleeing before the Allies in France, but has been driven from his strong holds only by the utmost endeavor of a mighty army. The war is not over, and if we relax now the end will be postponed. It is our duty at home to go on as energetically and enthusi astically as we did in the beginning. Our soldier boys must know that every man, woman and child in America is working without letup to win the war. It is all right to talk victory, but talk will have to come second to action if we achieve victory. Danger exists that the Ger man peace drive is producing the effect it was planned to have. Counteract this by keeping your determination strong; show the Hun that we know the war is right at our doors. Buy Liberty bonds and make certain the triumph that ultimately must be ours. Potash and Free Trade. No, indeed; it was not the McKinley bill that brought about the vast wealth now pouring into Nebraska through the potash spout. On the contrary, the good fortune arises in the ad ventitious combination of a democratic admin istration and the "alkali" lakes. Aeons ago, when the Gulf of Mexico stretched as far north ward as the Canadian bolder, and central Ne braska was an abyss at least two miles below the turbulent surface of the primeval ocean, this had been planned by an All-Wise Provi dence. When the water failed from the sea certain pools remained, vestiges of the decayed flood, clear and pellucid, but bitter as the waters qf Marah. Aboriginal and enlightened man alike avoided them as accursed, and the cattle of the plains died of thirst in their presence. In the fullness of time the "war governor" came to preside over the affairs of Nebraska, and the Omaha Hyphenated s editor shed the effulgence of his erudition across it all, a .d then the potash came forth. Only through this blessed combination could it have been possi ble. Thus it is that we have gained something because of the war with the Hun, but it yet re mains true that had the democrats had their way back in the beginning of things we would still be buying our tin plate from the mills at Swansea, instead of making all we use and hav ing a surplus of 400,000 tons a year to export. "Autonomy" in Austria. A report from Vienna that the Austrian gov ernment is moving to put into practice "Pres ident Wilson's plan of autonomy" will excite some little interest on this side. In his address to congress on January 8, last, the president in cluded in his fourteen requisites for peace one which reads: "Freest opportunity for the au tonomous development of the peoples of Aus-tro-Hungary." At the time this was commented on as being something short of the aspiration of the Czechs, who long had struggled for po litical independence. Since then the president has modified his views to the extent of recog nizing the Czecho-Slovak republic and dealing with its provisional government. Here, then, will -no longer be found any room for the ap plication of any scheme for autonomous polit ical recognition of Bohemia or the other prov inces -of the empire hitherto under subjection. Austria has not moved sufficiently fczt to keep up with the procession of freedom, Snd is, there fore, to be the loser through its own neglect. "Trust the president!" shrieks the Hyphe ated. tight months ago it was arguing with utmost ability to have the management, of war taken out of the hands of the president placed under a board. ' n- its the and No matter how big a hurry the Hun may be in on his retreat, he finds time to pillage and burn Some day he will see the beauty of jus tice, when he is paying for all the damage he is now doing. v . - -. Right in the Spotlight A most remarkable personality in the public eye at the present time is Mr. Branting, the famous Swedish socialist and statesman. His un tiring work on behalf of the en tente has been the means of expos ing the fickleness of Germany's friendship towards the Scandinaivian people, and has incidentally brought about a more friendly understand ing between the governments of the entente allies and Sweden. Mr. Branting has led a most strenuous life. The only son of a distinguish ed Swedish university professor, he received his early education in France. While a student his tastes lay in the direction of mathematics and astronomy, but after completing his studies he threw up the promise of a scientific career for journalism. One Year Ago Today in the War. German emperor arrived in Bul garian capital on his first visit. Count von Luxburg, former Ger man minister to Argentina, arrested. German Reichstag passed a bill providing for rebuilding of German merchant fleet. ' In Omaha 30 Years Ago Today. "Two Old Cronies" will be the fun-making attraction at the New Grand this evening. Forty-four out of fifty-six horse cars have been flitted for stove " . I and all of them are to contain some heating apparatus. , W. L. Dayton, a brigadier gen eral of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias in this city, was in Omaha and conferred with local members of the order with respect to the holding of a brigade en campment. Ten companies of the second in fantry command of General Whea ton, have returned from Kearney, where they spent a month in camp. L. E. Overton, of Marshalltown, la., has decided to make Omaha his future home. General Crook arrived from Chi cago in excellent health. He will spend two or three days visiting friends.

Timely Jottings and Reminders. One thousand five hundred and thirty-third day of the Great War. Sixty-five years ago today the first clearing-house in the United States was established in New York City. The president and Mrs. Wilson are to start for New York today fo attend the great Liberty Day cele bration in that city. London has prepared a rousing welcome for Marshal and Madame Joffre, who are to arrive there to dy on a visit to the British nation. Wartime problems affecting the electrotyping industry are to be considered at the annual convention of the Master Electrotypers' Asso ciation of America, meeting today at Cincinnati. Storyette of the Day. "The play was rather shocking," said Playwright Avery Hopwood, discussing a rival's production. "Yes. it was as shocking as the lament of the soldier's bride. "A soldier's bride on a roof gar den burst into tears, and a letter dropped from her limp hand into the champagne bucket on the floor. "What's the matter?" her friends asked. "'George!' she gasped. '"What is it? Is he killed? Gassed? Wounded? A prisoner?' "'No!' And she wept more bit terly than ever. 'No!' Coming back!'" Detroit Free Press. HERE AND THERE The ram is trte most ancient of ship weapons. Five out of the last nine czars of Russia have ben assassinated. The Vatican contains 1,000 halls and rooms and covers 14 acres of ground. In 1872 Prof. Mltscherlich, a Swede, first produced paper from bleached wood pulp on a commer cial scale. One of the largest confectionery establishments in the world, employ ing 2,500 hands, is located in the Japanese city of Tokyo. Crabs are pastmasters in the art of caraouflagingr. One of their fa vorite devices is to take advantage of their natural resemblance to certain rocks. Sponges cling to these rocks, so the menaced crab, providing that even the lowest form, of animal life possesses a certain degree of intelli gence, diligently collects sponges and attaches them to its back. The illusion rarely fails to deceive. With the Yanks at the Front Stars and Stripes, Published in France. The Yankee troops who played a small but eminently satisfactory part in the early stages of the third battle of the Somme have, as it hap pens, spent the greater part of their soldiering in France in close comradeship with the soldiers who volunteered for this war from under the Southern Cross. If the feelings and experiences of this trrouo are any guide, it may be said now that Aussie and Yank are, and until the end of the war will be, thicker than thieves. Visit any American colonel's dugout during a lull in the hostilities and you will find some Australian officer has dropped or rather crawled in for tea. Visit any sheltered haunt of the enlisted men after pay day and you will find the Yanks staking the residue from his in surance and Liberty bonds on the breathless hazards of "two-up," the Aussie's favorite game. They even favor the same terms of rough lan guage. They have a bond in the use of the same favorite cuss word. "Yank," says Aussie, reflectively removing his pipe for an historic utterance, "you're a dinkum bloke. That's Australian for "regu lar guy."J Yank, you're a wonderful soldier. Why, doggone it, you're as good a soldier as I am." While the units that had been engaged in the recent fighting were blissfully enjoying a well-earned rest, 135 members of the first com pany of railway engineers to arrive in France celebrated that victory by establishing what is believed to be a new track-laying record, com pleting 2.69 miles of narrow gauge railway in even hours and three minutes. The work marked the completion of an im portant railway line from one French town to another, upon which the company had been working for several weeks. Officers present when the record was made were outspoken in their conviction that the gang could have easily completed four. miles during the full working day of 12 hours had there been further track to lay in that sector. A captain and a lieutenant were in charge of a1. - J..-I All . i e ' . t me ucian. aii necessary materials tor tne joo had to be brought up from behind, two 60 em. steam locomotives pushing the rail cars forward as soon as a section of track was spiked down. Two motor trucks were used for hauling ties. The amount of material handled gives more than a hint of the magnitude of the task and the tremendous amount of labor involved approx imately 105 tons of steel rails, 7,100 ties, 1,830 pairs of fishplates, eight kegs of bolts and 37 kegs of spikes, making a total of over 230 tons. A platoon of Americans were advancing on a machine gun nest near the banks of the Vesle. The advance was being made in an open field where the Germans had planted their machine guns on a high bit of ground which enabled them to deliver a sweeping fire on the Amer icans. Try as they might, the Yanks could not flank the German position. They covered them selves the best they could and waited in hopes that they would get a pot shot at Fritz and then they would continue their advance. But Fritz was not inclined to expose himself to. pot shots and kept his gun working. "Say, sergeant, gimme that gat of yours," said Corporal Browne. The sergeant handed it over. Corporal Browne drew his own nistol and. with an automatic in each hand, he got up on. his hands and knees and took a peep at FritzJ 'C.. k.. ..11 .1.. ...:. t .i. t jay, uujs, ten me wire jur rac mat x was one game guy! So long to all of you guys!" After saying all of that Corporal Browne went out after the boches. He got them, too four of them and a perfectly good machine gun. When his comrades came up Corporal Browne had loaded the machine gun onUo his back and was ready to go on. All four boches were dead in the pit. "How'd you do it?" someone asked him after it was all over. "Darned if I know," he answered. "It was awfully easy; kind of surprised myself, in fact." He had been pretty badly bunged up, up on the line, and had had a tough time pulling through. He wouldn't have pulled through at all if it hadn't been for the devoted efforts of a certain nurs,e in the base hospital. Finally he won out, and it was a happy and smiling boy who "sat attention" in bed as his captain came in to see him and congratulate him. As they were talking in came the nurse, with his hourly ration of medicine. He looked up and grinned. "Miss Blank," he said, "this is my captain. Captain, this is Miss Blank. She's an awful mean girl she cheated my poor family out of $10,000 life insurance." Pat and Ignatius were lying on the green sward sreading a daily paper's account of the fighting of the day before. Pat, reading out loud, got as far as "The French troops under the command of General Mangin ." Then he stopped and scratched his head. "Mangin? Mangin?" he repeated. "Say, Ignatius, phwat th'hell license has a man with a Harp name like that got commandin' th' Fnnch?" t Even in war there is such a thing as poetic justice. Witness the case of the Hun aviator who bombed an American funeral party not far behind the lines. Not long afterward that same aviator was brought down and himself buried in that same cemetery, not 50 feet from where his first bomb had dropped. Dimes and Snowflaks, The snowflake is a little thing, but it makes the drifts that block traffic. The dimes and quarters that Americans are putting into thrift stamps are blown on the mighty wind of patri otism and heaped up in front of the march of kultur until they must look to the dismayed Germans like a green blizzard blocking the way to the west. The government's win-the-war fund has been increased, through W. S. S., hun dreds of millions of dollars. Figures of August 1 gave the total as $572,435,737.81, and showed that the sale of "savings stickers" had increased the per capita savings of the country by $5.74. If a list of the patriotic investors'. names could be made it would be a good start toward a com plete roll call of Uncle Sam's younger nieces and nephews. St. Nicholas Magazine. People jind Events "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand" is a soulful hymn, but unsuited to Turkish music just now. No matter how the profiteers rig up the gob bler market for next month, the allied armies in Palestine are assured an abundance of Turk and trimmings for Thanksgiving. It's a neck-and-neck race for the topnotch -between high-flying rents and taxes in New York. This year taxes leaped forward $36,912, 448 in the municipal budget, but rents have sev eral months to gather steam for another burst of speed. Thrift and enterprise and relentless 'squeeze combined to rear the Tolman loan shark fortune of $7,259,344, as reported in the probate court of New Yoik City. Tolman touched a number of Omaha people on the 10-per-cent-a-month nlan. and cat awav with it fnr t;il ho did not have any pockets in his shroud and died Within a few hours following the adjourn ment of the Safety congress at St. Louis a motorcyclist with a woman riding jbehind him drove into a moving street car, injuring himself and killing the woman. Preaching safety to the heedless is time wasted unless the main points are hammered in. Some elderly men appear happiest in the role of joykillers. The worldly wisdom of ripe years in most cases imposes little restraint. Take the case of Charles Edward Russell a knowl edgable man, though painfully indiscreet. Com ing back from "over there," he tells out loud that "man v nf rmr antrfiprc ar tnarrvincr Prrrxeh girls." .Charley is too mean for anything, . . J Over There and Here Berlin raised its flour ration on October 1 to seven ounces per head, besides the 10 per cent ot admix tures. About the Bame- time the au thorities built high barbed wire fences around the municipal flour stores, in order to protect the stores against thieves. x Seven thousand base balls was one big item in the athletic account of the Great Lakes station during the season. In addition were boxing gloves, foot balls and athletic uni forms by the carload lot. Making 45,000 boys fit for a fight or a frolic takes considerable training gear. The five civilized tribes of Indians down Oklahoma way subscribed for $2,600,000 of Fourth Liberty loan bonds and Philippine residents re ported $3,650,000 subscribed the nrst day. With Poor Lo and the brown tribes setting an inspiring example, the paleface millions can not afford to hesitate. Dig up, and do it quickly. Some 20 miles north of the Ameri can sector of St. Mihiel and a like distance east of Verdun lies the Hriey basin, with Its field of Iron ore of surpassing quality. These rich resources, taken from France in 1871, enabled Germany to become the second steel producing nation in less than 40 years. Brley basin is the pillar of German war power. Without its product Germany could not, as experts view It, maintain war on the present magnitude for six months. Once ousted from the ore fields militarism is as good as lost. WHITTLED TO A POINT Washington Post: Now that Bul garia has caved in, there will be no shortage of nuts for gas masks. Minneapalis Tribune: The khaki boys have a very good right to ba cocky these days, seeing what is hap pening to Fritz. St. Louis Globe Democrat: The German people already suspect what has been happening. When they find out for sure they will Junk the Junkers. Kansas City Times: "There is no reason to give up the game in Bul garia," says the German foreign sec retary. And that seems to be the view the allies took. Detroit Free Press: Von Hertling expresses surprise that the dear Ger man people who have been fed on a diet of glorious victory should be come disgruntled on the starvation ration of failure and defeat. Baltimore American: The Ger man chancellor admits the defeat of the German armies, but tells the people there Is no real cause to worry. Mark Tapley was a con firmed and hopeless pesismist beside this exhibition of hopeful cheer. AROUND THE CITIES Municipal improvements during the war are almost at a standstill in London. Last year the big city expended only 41,449 in street paving. Des Moines and other Iowa cities have been warned to conserve sugar more rigorously, on pain of losing out entirely for the last month of the year. Heavy drafts for canning purposes far exceeded the state's quota for September. The Tennessee federal court turned down the application of the Knoxville Gas company for in creased rates. The court ruled that a franchise constituted a contract with the city which cannot be al tered without the consent of both parties to it. A recall petition carrying the requisite number of names, 4,000, is about to be filed against Mayor Short ofNSioux City. Mayor and council constituting the city commission, rode into power on a refom wave last spring. One commissioner has been ousted by the courts and the toboggan now awaits the mayor. Kansas City, the big end of Jack son county, Missouri, regards county road building Jobs in that locality as fine specimens of graft and waste. Before the final payment was made on what is known as the Woods Chapel road the entire south end of the macadam Job went to pieces and must be repaired. It is said in be half of the contractor that he- Is "fully reliable," being- able to de liver a democratic majority from his ward nine times oat of ten. THE ANSWER. Peace? Never!

To the Editor of The Bee: Am enclosing clipping which upholds a great many peo ple's views as to the recent "yellow streaks" being painted by the street railway company on every other block of this city. Strange indeed that this company could not select some other color Instead of the "one" generally detested by the pub lic at this time. This town has proven Its patriot ism by "going over the top" in every drive, so why paint our town yellow? A BOOSTER. The clipping enclosed tells of how an Ohio merchant caused a yellow sign to be changed. Mr. Holaday Explains. Omaha, Oct. 7. To the Editor of The Bee: Would you kindly print a few lines of explanation to my let ter in today's Bee, where I say, "you see I am a pacifist, but I don't want peace until," should be followed by another line thus, "we have made a pacifist out of Kaiser Bill?" Then, "America has lots of experience," is the beginning of another sentence. I flatter myself that someone will smile at my lines, and I would like to hand it to them straight. After this I will try to review my letters before they are mailed, then you will be able to translate my scrawl if I have to write them over. D.
